The Kybalion: The Mental construct of the Universe, Consciousness, Light, and Quantum Physics

The Following is taken from the Kybalion...

"The infinite mind of The ALL, is the womb of universes."

"While it is true that the ALL is all, it is equally true that the ALL is within ALL."

"..And, in the degree that Man realizes the existence of the Indwelling Spirit immanent within his being, so will he rise in the spiritual scale of life. This is what spiritual development means-the recognition, realization, and manifestation of the Spirit within us. Try to remember this last definition-that of spiritual development. It contains the Truth of True Religion."

"As above, So Below."


The Hermetic Teachings are to the effect that THE ALL is Imminent in ("remaining within; inherent; abiding within") its Universe, and in every part, particle, unit, or combination, within the Universe. This statement is usually illustrated by the Teachers by a reference to the Principle of Correspondence. The Teacher instructs the student to form a Mental Image of something, a person, an idea, something having a mental form, the favorite example being that of the author or dramatist forming an idea of his characters; or a painter or sculptor forming an image of an ideal that he wished to express by his art. In each case, the student will find that while the image has its existence, and being, solely within his own mind, yet he, the student, author, dramatist, painter, or sculptor, is, in a sense, immanent in; remaining within; or abiding within, the mental image also. In other words, the entire virtue, life, spirit, of reality in the mental image is derived from the "immanent mind" of the
thinker. Consider this for a moment, until the idea is grasped.

The Hermetic Teachings concerning the process of the Mental Creation of the Universe, are that at the beginning of the Creative Cycle, THE ALL, in its aspect of "Being," projects its Will toward its aspect of "Becoming," and the process of creation begins. It is taught that the process consists of the lowering of Vibration until a very low degree of vibratory energy is reached, at which point the grossest possible form of Matter is manifested. This process is called the stage of Involution, in which THE ALL becomes "involved," or "wrapped up," in its creation. This process is believed by the Hermetists to have a Correspondence to the mental process of an artist, writer, or inventor, who becomes so wrapped up in his mental creation as to almost forget his own existence and who, for the time being, almost "lives in his creation." If instead of ''wrapped'' we use the word ''rapt,'' perhaps we will give a better idea of what is meant.

This Involuntary stage of Creation is sometimes called the "Outpouring" of the Divine Energy, just as the Evolutionary state is called the "Indrawing." The extreme pole of the Creative process is considered to be the furthest removed from THE ALL, while the beginning of the Evolutionary stage is regarded as the beginning of the return swing of the pendulum of Rhythm-a "coming home" idea being held in all of the Hermetic Teachings. But the idea intended seems to be that of the employment of the Divine Attention. "Attention" is a word derived from the Latin root, meaning "to reach out; to stretch out," and so the act of Attention is really a mental "reaching out; extension" of mental energy, so that the underlying idea is readily understood when we examine into the real meaning of "Attention."

The Hermetic Teachings regarding the process of Evolution are that, THE ALL, having meditated upon the beginning of the Creation-having thus established the material foundations of the Universe-having thought it into existence-then gradually awakens or rouses from its Meditation and in so doing starts into manifestation the process of Evolution, on the material, mental and spiritual planes, successively and in order. Thus the upward movement begins-and all begins to move Spiritward. Matter becomes less gross; the Units spring into being; the combinations begin to form; Life appears and manifests in higher and higher forms; and Mind becomes more and more in evidence-the vibrations constantly becoming higher.


In short, the entire process of Evolution, in all of its phases, begins, and proceeds according to the established Laws of the "Indrawing" process. All of this occupies eons upon eons of Man's time, each eon containing countless millions of years, but yet the Illumined inform us that the entire creation, including Involution and Evolution, of an Universe, is but "as the twinkle of the eye" to THE ALL. At the end of countless cycles of eons of time, THE ALL withdraws its Attention-its Contemplation and Meditation-of the Universe, for the Great Work is finished-and All is withdrawn into THE ALL from which it emerged. But Mystery of Mysteries-the Spirit of each soul is not annihilated, but is infinitely expanded-the Created and the Creator are merged.

Athletes, some athletes, use a process of visualization, imagining one of many perfect feats, over and over again in their mind's eye (or pineal gland).

@SuzLa1 i think the same way to my problem is materialism in the west and base egocentric/brain instead of heart/knowingcentric being the west to me seems very primitive and cold in their so called "understanding" of the human being people in america this unjustice and apathetic culture that has diseased the minds of many and killed most american's lack of empathy/sympathy and ego based love of the material pleasures and self-gratification have perverted the minds of the younglings. advice thx.

Awesome video and great music. I think God is in US and We are in IT. IT created us to know ITSELF, to experience its own creation and projection. There is no seperation between GOD and US. WE have always been ONE.

@SuzLa1 Yes, indeed. I see what u mean, excellent point. I never thought of that angle. I get easily excited uc. The thing is, I have beaten my Ego already (well, enuf of it 2b considered a 'genuine spiritual person', anyway), thru various spiritual practices, so I tend to forget that, in the west, we are mostly surrounded by adults with the emotional maturity of a 13 yo. I have been trying to find way to change this state of affairs, but no luck! :( I try to teach thru my channel, where I can

@TheNewAeon2012 Should it be taught in school as I think too many people in the west are selfish and live in their egos to create any reality.
