Introduction
We take great pleasure in presenting to the attention of students and investigators of the Secret Doctrines this little work based upon the world-old Hermetic Teachings.

CHAPTER 1. THE HERMETIC PHILOSOPHY
“The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding”–The Kybalion.

CHAPTER 5. THE MENTAL UNIVERSE
“The Universe is Mental–held in the Mind of THE ALL.”–The Kybalion. THE ALL is SPIRIT! But what is Spirit?

CHAPTER 6. THE DIVINE PARADOX
“The half-wise, recognizing the comparative unreality of the Universe, imagine that they may defy its Laws–such are vain and presumptuous fools, and they are broken against the rocks and torn asunder by the elements by reason of their folly. The truly wise, knowing the nature of the Universe, use Law against laws; the higher against…

CHAPTER 7. “THE ALL” IN ALL
“While All is in THE ALL, it is equally true that THE ALL is in ALL. To him who truly understands this truth hath come great knowledge.”–The Kybalion. How often have the majority of people heard repeated the statement that their Deity (called by many names) was “All in All” and how little have they…

CHAPTER 8. PLANES OF CORRESPONDENCE
“As above, so below; as below, so above.”–The Kybalion. The great Second Hermetic Principle embodies the truth that there is a harmony, agreement, and correspondence between the several planes of Manifestation, Life and Being. This truth is a truth because all that is included in the Universe emanates from the same source, and the same…
