Hermeticism Philosophy Collection: The Kybalion, Corpus Hermeticum, The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean and The Life and Teachings of Hermes Trismegistus
Hermeticism, a philosophical system based on the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, has often been associated with the development of modern science.
Included
Introduction - 2022 by CSA Publishing
The Kybalion - 1912 by The Three Initiates
Corpus Hermeticum - Treatises written between c. 100 and c. 300 Common Era by Hermes Trismegistus and translated in 1906 by G. R. S. Mead
The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean - 1925 by M. Doreal
The Life and Teachings of Hermes Trismegistus - Manly P. Hall 1928, Copywrite not renewed.
The original truths as taught and written by Hermes were passed down through the ages by men of wisdom, keeping alive the “flame of truth” from lip to ear. However, men have always been cautious about sharing the wisdom of the Masters such as Hermes to those who were neither ready for nor willing to receive it.
This collection strives to give you the working Principles, leaving you to apply them yourself. Each work serves to reconcile the occult knowledge the reader may have acquired, but which are apparently opposed to each other and often serve to discourage and disgust the beginner.
In The Kybalion, the you will learn the foundation of the Hermetic Philosophy, including the Seven Principles of Truth, the mental art of transmutation, the Mental Universe of All, the Divine Paradox, Planes of Correspondence and Vibration, Polarity, and Rhythm. The Kybalion also addresses Causation, Gender, and ultimately, the constant Principle of the Mental Substance of the Universe.
Corpus Hermeticum is a compilation of treatises that were influential in developing Renaissance thought and culture. It is thought to have had a heavy impact on the growth of alchemy and magic in early modern Europe and influenced philosophers in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, ten tablets left in the Great Pyramid in the custody of pyramid priests, contain the wisdom of ancients unlocking many mysteries. The vibration emitted from reading the text with open eyes and an open mind shall cause one’s wisdom to increase and knowledge to reach new heights.
Lastly, in The Life and Teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, the origins and revelations of Hermes himself are pondered and explained, and he is touted as being the greatest of all priests, the greatest of all philosophers, and the greatest of all kings.
This collection is intended to provide a Master Key with which readers may open the many inner doors to mysteries throughout the ages.

This is excellent introductory book to hermeticism. First one from my knowledge that presents obscured wisdoms with rational clarity.

Great introductory book. Short read.. I really like the princIpals and laws and explanation of cosmology etc. I’d absolutely no idea that it was so close to Hinduism philosophy. In fact if you omit the reference to Hermeticism and give it to a person familiar with Hindu philosophy and beliefs then it will be very hard for him to believe that it is not a sect of Hinduism.
It is good book for anyone interested in religion or history of religions.

⭐️4,5⭐️ Muy bueno y interesante. (Audiolibro)
A mi parecer, El Kybalion no es simplemente un libro, es una llave filosófica que abre puertas a niveles más profundos de comprensión espiritual y mental. Escuchar su contenido en formato audiolibro ha sido como recibir enseñanzas antiguas a través de una voz que resuena en lo más interno. 🧠
Cada principio hermético —mentalismo, correspondencia, vibración, polaridad, ritmo, causa y efecto, y género— se presenta como una ley universal, atemporal, y sorprendentemente relevante hoy en día.
Este no es un texto que se consume a la ligera. Es denso, simbólico, casi alquímico en su intención. Pero para quien busca algo más allá de lo superficial, El Kybalion ofrece una brújula para navegar el caos moderno con sabiduría ancestral. No da respuestas cerradas; su poder está en sembrar preguntas poderosas y dejarte con la sensación de que todo está conectado por leyes invisibles pero inquebrantables.
En audiolibro, la experiencia es casi ritual: las palabras fluyen con solemnidad, ayudando a interiorizar conceptos que requieren reflexión pausada.🎧
En definitiva, El Kybalion es una joya filosófica disfrazada de tratado esotérico. Un clásico oculto que se convierte en compañero de viaje para quienes buscan verdad, sabiduría y transformación. 🏛️

I will come back to this at a later date and read it again. Whilst the concepts of Gnosticism were easy for me to grasp, some of the Hermetic principles were tougher. Perhaps my mind isn't open enough yet.

What a horridly boring and obtuse book.

Ancient wisdom to keep our minds busy

A third of the book is self congratulatory, a third is straightforwardly useful ideas to ponder and a third is esoteric poetry and metaphors.
