detailed in The Kybalion (1908), are foundational, ancient philosophical laws governing reality: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. These principles assert that the universe is mental, everything vibrates, and opposites are identical in nature but different in degree, offering a framework for spiritual growth and mastering one's reality.
"The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental." This principle states that reality is a mental construction, and thoughts precede manifestation.
"As above, so below; as below, so above." It suggests that the same laws apply on all planes of existence (physical, mental, and spiritual).
"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates." This principle explains that everything in the universe is in constant motion and has a specific frequency.
"Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites." It posits that opposites are actually the same thing, just in different degrees (e.g., hot and cold).
"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides." This principle highlights that everything operates in cycles, swings, and tides, resembling a pendulum.
"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause." It states that nothing happens by chance and that every action has a corresponding reaction.
"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles." This principle refers to the balance of creative energy, not just physical sex, acting on all planes.
