  • Episode 8 - The Principle of Gender
    Mar 24 2025

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

    In Episode 8: The Principle of Gender, we arrive at the seventh and final Hermetic Principle, a concept that goes far beyond conventional definitions of male and female. Join us as we delve into the profound understanding that "Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles."

    In this concluding episode of our series, we will unravel the true meaning of the Principle of Gender as taught in the Hermetic tradition. We'll explore how this principle manifests on all planes of existence, from the mental to the physical, and understand that it is not synonymous with biological Sex, which is merely one of its expressions on the physical plane....


    In this episode, we will explore:

    • The Hermetic definition of Gender as the Masculine and Feminine Principles inherent in all things....
    • The role of these principles in creation, procreation, generation, and production on all levels.
    • The understanding that the Masculine Principle is associated with the Positive pole and the act of directing energy or will, while the Feminine Principle is associated with the "Negative" or, more accurately, Feminine energy and the act of active creative work and generation....
    • How this principle manifests even at the level of electrons or corpuscles, with the "Feminine" corpuscle actively seeking union with a "Masculine" one to create new forms of matter or energy.
    • The application of the Principle of Gender on the Mental Plane, where the Masculine Principle corresponds to the Objective, Conscious, Voluntary, and Active Mind ("I"), and the Feminine Principle corresponds to the Subjective, Sub-conscious, Involuntary, and Passive Mind ("Me")....
    • How the interplay between these mental principles is crucial for thought generation, imagination, and the effective use of will power.
    • The implications of Mental Gender in phenomena like Telepathy, Suggestion, and Hypnotism, where the Masculine Principle projects vibratory energy towards the Feminine Principle of another....
    • Practical applications of understanding and balancing your own masculine (action, logic) and feminine (intuition, nurturing) energies for greater harmony and effectiveness in life....
    • A final recap of the seven Hermetic Principles explored throughout this series (Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender) and a reflection on how they can transform our lives....


    Prepare to understand the fundamental duality that underlies all of existence and how consciously working with the Principle of Gender can lead to greater balance and creative power in your life. As we conclude our journey through The Kybalion, reflect on the profound wisdom we've uncovered and how these timeless principles can guide you towards a more enlightened understanding of yourself and the universe!

  • 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!
