  • Episode 7 - The Principle of Cause and Effect
    Mar 24 2025

    Welcome back to our exploration of the ancient wisdom of The Kybalion!

    In Episode 7: The Principle of Cause and Effect, we delve into the fundamental Hermetic teaching that "every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."

    Join us as we unravel the intricacies of the Principle of Cause and Effect, understanding that the universe operates under immutable laws where nothing occurs randomly. This episode will illuminate how every action, including our thoughts and mental states (as discussed in Episode 2: The Principle of Mentalism), sets a cause in motion that will inevitably produce an effect.


    In this episode, we will explore:

    • The core understanding that every cause has a corresponding effect and vice versa.
    • The idea that "Chance is but a name for Law not recognized," emphasizing the underlying order in seemingly random events.
    • The profound insight that there are many planes of causation, and how understanding higher laws can help us influence the effects on lower planes.
    • How the principles we've explored in previous episodes, such as the Principle of Vibration (Episode 4) and the ability to change our mental states..., and neutralizing Rhythm (Episode 6) by rising to a higher plane , relate to becoming a conscious cause.
    • The empowering concept that by understanding and applying these Hermetic Principles, we can move from being merely subject to effects to becoming active creators of our experiences....
    • How the wise "serve on the higher, but rule on the lower" by understanding and working with the Law .


    Prepare to understand the fundamental interconnectedness of actions and consequences and discover how mastering the Hermetic Principles can empower you to consciously shape the outcomes in your life by understanding and utilizing the Principle of Cause and Effect!

  • Episode 6 - The Principle of Rhythm
    Mar 24 2025

    Welcome back to our exploration of the ancient wisdom of The Kybalion!

    In Episode 6: The Principle of Rhythm, we delve into the essential Hermetic teaching that "everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."

    Join us as we unravel the workings of the Principle of Rhythm, understanding that life and the universe operate in cyclical patterns, much like a pendulum swinging back and forth. This episode will illuminate how recognizing and understanding these natural cycles of highs and lows can help us navigate the inevitable fluctuations in our experiences and learn to neutralize its effects in our consciousness.


    In this episode, we will explore:

    • The fundamental understanding that everything in the universe operates in rhythmic cycles.How the "pendulum-swing" manifests in our moods, feelings, emotions, and other mental states.
    • The Hermetic concept of Neutralization, which allows us to rise above the swing of the mental pendulum by polarizing on a higher plane of consciousness.
    • Practical insights into how to attain a degree of self-mastery by consciously "refusing" to be swung back by the pendulum of mood and emotion.
    • The crucial understanding that while we cannot destroy the Principle of Rhythm, we can learn to counter-balance it and maintain equilibrium.

    Prepare to harmonize with the natural flow of life and discover how understanding the Principle of Rhythm can empower you to achieve greater mental steadfastness and emotional balance!
