Welcome to the first issue of Ascend Academy. Brace yourselves, we are about to delve into

the mother load of all spiritual concepts. This article reveals the meaning behind the 7

Hermetic Principles of truth, directly from their source, The Kybalion.

I am about to present some very powerful information to you that may stir up a lot of

discussion, and possibly opposition. These seven principles are considered to be

ABSOLUTE TRUTHS, and many ancient and current hermeticists, mystics, philosophers and

so called enlightened beings regard it’s application to be THE Master key path to

understanding the self and it’s relation to all that is.

If you feel within yourself that you are not ready to handle this information, feel free to

come back and read when you are. These teachings have been kept secret for thousands of

years by the Hermetic tradition, only being passed between master and initiate of countless

different occult societies across human history. This was out of fear that this information

would be used by those who did not quite understand it’s significance, or who had selfish

intentions and lack of wisdom. In 1912, it was published by an anonymous entity known as

the Three Initiates(?) and has since been put into public domain, now widely available

online.

I believe that this knowledge should be widespread so that we can begin implementing and

spreading it’s profound wisdom and applications for the ascension of mankind as a whole.

It is clear that the ancient masters did not wish for these principles to be ‘crystallized into

creeds by any country or religious sect’. So while viewing this information, HAVE YOUR

OWN EXPERIENCE, and consider this to be a pragmatic philosophy for understanding the

spiritual reality.

The dense quotations I’ve placed describing these principles are directly from the

kybalion.org and I suggest you give that a read after viewing this article if you wish to go

even deeper. I will also try to break down what each principle means to us in our day to day

lives as well as in relevance to our spiritual practice. I hope this knowledge resonates! (THIS

ARTICLE IS QUITE LONG; Taking breaks in between every other principle is

recommended!)

THE 7 HERMETIC PRINCIPLES

“The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these, understandingly, possesses the

Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open.” -The Kybalion

THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM.

THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE.

THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION.



THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY.

THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM.

THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.

THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER.

The Principle of Mentalism

‘This Principle embodies the truth that “All is Mind.” It explains that THE ALL (whichis the Substantial Reality underlying all the outward manifestations andappearances which we know under the terms of “The Material Universe”; the“Phenomena of Life”; “Matter”; “Energy”; and, in short, all that is apparent to ourmaterial senses) is SPIRIT, which in itself is UNKNOWABLE and UNDEFINABLE,but which may be considered and thought of as AN UNIVERSAL, INFINITE, LIVINGMIND. It also explains that all the phenomenal world or universe is simply a MentalCreation of THE ALL, subject to the Laws of Created Things, and that the universe,as a whole, and in its parts or units, has its existence in the Mind of THE ALL, inwhich Mind we “live and move and have our being.”‘ – The Kybalion

The All, or the Universal Infinite Living Mind is the notion which we consider God or Source

Consciousness, and because we are within this infinite mind, it pervades the entirety of

every single space, physical or non physical. In essence, each person or form of

15.4k

consciousness is equivalent to a dream figure in the lucid dream of God. I understand this is

a large concept to swallow, bear with me!

If you have ever lucid dreamed, you would know that when you ask a person in your dream

who they are or what they represent, they will actually tell you that they are some facet of

your consciousness. You would also know that a lot of times your dream figures will tell you

that their experience is not a dream at all. Some are more or less aware of their roles in your

psychological make up. Likewise, each one of us is an aspect of God’s mind in that same

way; a symbol of a complex concept being expressed in a microcosmic form. For those who

have not lucid dreamed, think of it as this whole universe is an organism, matter and energy

are the cells, and we as forms of consciousness are the neurons.

Coming into this knowledge is the most fundamental key to understanding and expanding

our consciousness as well as traversing the higher planes of reality. We must understand

that we, and literally everything and everyone else, IS Spirit, or fractal facets of it’s

consciousness. It is important that we apply this understanding in our daily interactions

with others, understand that all other beings are simply another aspect of an infinite,

complex, and extremely variant consciousness, and are just as much of an expression of it as

you are no matter what form they take. Allow yourself to be without judgement towards

others with this understanding. Eventually this will cultivate a mindset of unconditional

love towards all life.

The Principle of Correspondence

‘This Principle embodies the truth that there is always a Correspondence betweenthe laws and phenomena of the various planes of Being and Life. The old Hermeticaxiom ran in these words: “As above, so below; as below, so above.” And thegrasping of this Principle gives one the means of solving many a dark paradox, andhidden secret of Nature. There are planes beyond our knowing, but when we applythe Principle of Correspondence to them we are able to understand much thatwould otherwise be unknowable to us. This Principle is of universal application andmanifestation, on the various planes of the material, mental, and spiritual universe— it is an Universal Law.’ – The Kybalion



With this principle we become aware of the fractal nature of the universe in which a similar

pattern of phenomena repeats across all scales of existence. This phenomena can be

synonymous with the musical note octaves on a piano, in that each note is repeated in the

next set or dimensional plane with the same vibrational quality but on a higher frequency.

Usually, interaction with one element may cause a resonant reaction on higher or lower

planes, as certain qualities in parallel planes correspond to one another like musical chords.

This applies to sound, color, thoughts, emotions, chakras, and all forms of spectrums that

exist throughout the universe. This is a great segue into our next principle:

The Principle of Vibration

‘This Principle embodies the truth that “everything is in motion”; “everythingvibrates”; “nothing is at rest”; facts which Modern Science endorses, and which eachnew scientific discovery tends to verify. And yet this Hermetic Principle wasenunciated thousands of years ago, by the Masters of Ancient Egypt. This Principleexplains that the differences between different manifestations of Matter, Energy,

15.4kShare 75Share Share Share

http://thespiritscience.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/KochCircleInverted.jpg



Mind, and even Spirit, result largely from varying rates of Vibration. From THE ALL,which is Pure Spirit, down to the grossest form of Matter, all is in vibration — thehigher the vibration, the higher the position in the scale. The vibration of Spirit is atsuch an infinite rate of intensity and rapidity that it is practically at rest — just as arapidly moving wheel seems to be motionless. And at the other end of the scale,there are gross forms of matter whose vibrations are so low as to seem at rest. ‘ –The Kybalion

Understanding vibrational frequency and it’s application in our spirituality is crucial. When

we are dealing with negative thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, we must grasp that these

things are dense vibrations within our minds, keeping us in a low vibratory rate of

consciousness. If they are vibrating, they are emitting sound, light, or rippling out in some

form of wave. If we are constantly emitting these sorts of vibrations, our outside world,

which is essentially still MIND, will resonate with our mental experience, causing those

same sorts of low vibrational experiences to manifest physically. In the same way, if we are

radiating positive, loving, and blissful forms of vibration, our reality will follow suite.

Essentially, everything in existence interacts with it’s components through rates of

vibration. Dimensions, in a simplistic way of understanding, are different octaves of

http://thespiritscience.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/swirlingchakras.jpg



vibration, in which the consciousness inhabiting those octaves perceive things relevant to

their mental state, perspectives, beliefs, and level of awareness. This is why many of us

cannot see the astral plane or things like ghosts, auras, and spiritual entities, because we are

not vibrating at the same rate as them and cannot resonate with those experiences.

Our minds are like radio tuners for different channels of experience. We can turn the dial by

shifting our attention and intention towards different actions, different thoughts, different

mental states and different beliefs about our reality. Reading this right now is essentially

tuning you to the frequency of these higher planes, expanding your awareness to allow your

mind to resonate with their concepts, and thus allowing you to hold consciousness within

them.

The Principle of Polarity

‘This Principle embodies the truth that “everything is dual”; “everything has twopoles”; “everything has its pair of opposites,” all of which were old Hermetic axioms.It explains the old paradoxes, that have perplexed so many, which have beenstated as follows: “Thesis and anti-thesis are identical in nature, but different indegree”; “opposites are the same, differing only in degree”; “the pairs of oppositesmay be reconciled”; “extremes meet”; “everything is and isn’t, at the same time”; “alltruths are but half-truths”; “every truth is half-false”; “there are two sides toeverything,” etc., etc., etc.

It explains that in everything there are two poles, or opposite aspects, and that“opposites” are really only the two extremes of the same thing, with many varyingdegrees between them. To illustrate: Heat and Cold, although “opposites,” are reallythe same thing, the differences consisting merely of degrees of the same thing. Lookat your thermometer and see if you can discover where “heat” terminates and“cold” begins! There is no such thing as “absolute heat” or “absolute cold” — the twoterms “heat” and “cold” simply indicate varying degrees of the same thing, and that“same thing” which manifests as “heat” and “cold” is merely a form, variety, and rateof Vibration. So “heat” and “cold” are simply the “two poles” of that which we call“Heat” — and the phenomena attendant thereupon are manifestations of thePrinciple of Polarity.

The same Principle manifests in the case of “Light and Darkness,” which are the



same thing, the difference consisting of varying degrees between the two poles ofthe phenomena. Where does “darkness” leave off, and “light” begin? What is thedifference between “Large and Small”? Between “Hard and Soft”? Between “Blackand White”? Between “Sharp and Dull”? Between “Noise and Quiet”? Between“High and Low”? Between “Positive and Negative”? The Principle of Polarity explainsthese paradoxes, and no other Principle can supersede it.’ – The Kybalion

With the concept that extreme opposites are simply the poles of the same thing, we can

cease to have a dualistic perspective and instead view these phenomena as spectrums or

sliding scales of vibration. Once we understand that, we can begin to use what is called

Mental Alchemy or Mental Transmutation. Unlike the traditional view of Alchemy in which

you change different base or undesirable metals into Gold, we polarize the negative

thoughts, emotions, and mental states into positive ones (The prior definition being a

hidden allegory for the true meaning).

This is one particular field that I will be continuing to study and give you my interpretation

of so that you can all benefit. It will probably be one of our last topics discussed in this

http://thespiritscience.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/spiral_torus_animation_by_taffgochd3c7zzr.gif



series, as it can profoundly change our perspective and our experience and must be used

with sufficient knowledge.

The Principle of Rhythm

‘This Principle embodies the truth that in everything there is manifested ameasured motion, to and fro; a flow and inflow; a swing backward and forward; apendulum-like movement; a tide-like ebb and flow; a high-tide and low-tide;between the two poles which exist in accordance with the Principle of Polaritydescribed a moment ago. There is always an action and a reaction; an advance anda retreat a rising and a sinking. This is in the affairs of the Universe, suns, worlds,men, animals, mind, energy, and matter. This law is manifest in the creation anddestruction of worlds; in the rise and fall of nations; in the life of all things; and finallyin the mental states of Man (and it is with this latter that the Hermetists find theunderstanding of the Principle most important).

The Hermetists have grasped this Principle, finding its universal application, andhave also discovered certain means to overcome its effects in themselves by the useof the appropriate formulas and methods. They apply the Mental Law ofNeutralization. They cannot annul the Principle, or Cause it to cease its operation,but they have learned how to escape its effects upon themselves to a certaindegree depending upon the Mastery of the Principle. They have learned how toUSE it, instead of being USED BY it. In this and similar methods, consist the Art ofthe Hermetists. The Master of Hermetics polarizes himself at the point at which hedesires to rest, and then neutralizes the Rhythmic swing of the pendulum whichwould tend to carry him to the other pole.’ – The Kybalion



Rhythm is a direct result of the nature of vibration, as the oscillation between two poles in

any given scale provides an environment in which energy can shift from one state to the

next and back again with equal proportion. This teaches us of the importance of balance in

the universe, because without rhythmic proportion, we are unable to measure and identify

the different states that energy can move between and how they directly relate to one

another.

Another way to look at it is that this principle recognizes the heartbeat or the symphony of

the universe. If we learn to ride these innate universal rhythms consciously, we can begin to

work in harmony with the universal energies rather than have them work against us, being

apart of the music or flowing with the current to achieve our conscious expansion.

I have personally understood and used this principle to polarize into my higher self for long

periods of time while denying my ego self reign over my thoughts, but this is far from

mastering the principle. As we delve deeper into the series, we will explore this principle’s

application together and maybe new ways of ‘rhythm riding’ can be unearthed.

The Principle of Causation

‘This Principle embodies the fact that there is a Cause for every Effect; an Effectfrom every Cause. It explains that: “Everything Happens according to Law”; that

http://thespiritscience.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/still_2729.jpg



nothing ever “merely happens”; that there is no such thing as Chance; that whilethere are various planes of Cause and Effect, the higher dominating the lowerplanes, still nothing ever entirely escapes the Law. The Hermetists understand theart and methods of rising above the ordinary plane of Cause and Effect, to a certaindegree, and by mentally rising to a higher plane they become Causers instead ofEffects. The masses of people are carried along, obedient to environment; the willsand desires of others stronger than themselves; heredity; suggestion; and otheroutward causes moving them about like pawns on the Chessboard of Life. But theMasters, rising to the plane above, dominate their moods, characters, qualities, andpowers, as well as the environment surrounding them, and become Movers insteadof pawns. They help to PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE, instead of being played andmoved about by other wills and environment. They USE the Principle instead ofbeing its tools. The Masters obey the Causation of the higher planes, but they helpto RULE on their own plane. In this statement there is condensed a wealth ofHermetic knowledge — let him read who can.’ – The Kybalion

I think that this principle is common sense for most, but many are not aware that it applies

on and connects all dimensions of reality. With this in mind we can begin to see how the

universe came into being. The first cause,the Infinite Living Mind or Source, created a set of

causes via VIBRATION to allow many ripples of subsequent events to intertwine and

unfold. The causes on higher planes began manifesting effects on the lower planes, and our

physical universe eventually unfolded in this way. It is easy to now view the phenomena of

this world as having specific serendipitous purpose, even if we are not able to understand

what exactly causes them. Synchronicity is a prominent example of higher plane causation

in action, where almost divinely timed experiences manifest in peculiar patterns.

This principle is symbolically (as well as mathematically) represented in the construction of

the Flower of Life geometry and it’s successive forms, as these are higher dimensional

blueprints for the denser manifestations of matter to use as templates. Throughout the

series, we will begin to work in accordance with these causes of higher planes, and create

our own, rather than be subjected to the causes of this one. This is so we may become

Movers rather than Pawns in this so called Chessboard of Life. In our next issue, we will

dive further into this topic, exploring sacred geometry and it’s use as a form of mental

causation and manifestation.

The Principle of Gender

‘This Principle embodies the truth that there is GENDER manifested in everything— the Masculine and Feminine Principles ever at work. This is true not only of thePhysical Plane, but of the Mental and even the Spiritual Planes. On the PhysicalPlane, the Principle manifests as SEX, on the higher planes it takes higher forms, butthe Principle is ever the same. No creation, physical, mental or spiritual, is possiblewithout this Principle. An understanding of its laws will throw light on many asubject that has perplexed the minds of men. The Principle of Gender works ever inthe direction of generation, regeneration, and creation. Everything, and everyperson, contains the two Elements or Principles, or this great Principle, within it, himor her. Every Male thing has the Female Element also; every Female contains alsothe Male Principle. If you would understand the philosophy of Mental and SpiritualCreation, Generation, and Re-generation, you must understand and study thisHermetic Principle. It contains the solution of many mysteries of Life.’ – TheKybalion

http://thespiritscience.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/yinyang.jpg



Here on planet Earth, we are very familiar with the many manifestations of Male and

Female energy, or Duality and Unity consciousness. The reason the Masculine and

Feminine Principles are so integral to creation is because Source itself is a perfect union of

these two concepts. All created things are but variations of expression, intensity, and

vibration between these two forms of consciousness. The Male principle is the notion of

Subjective Self or the internal, causal, and intangible nature. The Female principle is the

notion of Objective Self, or the external, receptive, and form of that inner nature.

Male is also the force of giving or push, and Female subsequently is the force of taking or

pull. Do not confuse these definitions with gender discrimination. We as human beings are

also a union of these two principles, as we possess an internal nature and an external form.

Even our minds are split into conscious (male) and subconscious/unconscious (female) and

our brains into left brain (male) and right brain (female). For more on this check out Spirit

Science episode 4.

You’re probably wondering why Jordan says that Male energy is Focussed and that the

Female energy is Creative/Random. That is just another way this principle manifests in the

human psyche, and there are a multitude of others. There is an even deeper level of

understanding for the principle of Gender that will be revealed in the coming articles, so

stay tuned.

Now, if we wish to ascend as human beings, the goal is to balance these energies within

ourselves, allowing us to resonate with that same balance present in the Infinite Living

Mind, giving way to conscious freedom. This balance is largely achieved through, you

guessed it, Unconditional Love, as this is an energy of freely giving and taking with all life

through understanding that, as a fractal of Source consciousness, the external universe is

also YOUR external form.

And there you have it, the 7 Hermetic Principles. Study and Mastery of these fundamental

laws will bring great wisdom as well as unbelievable power and freedom. If you have any

Our next issue will begin with the spiritual framework that I have created in conjunction

with these principles, formerly known as the 7 stages of Mystic Mastery. I am going to

change it for the sake of brevity and clarity; it will now be known as the 7 Phases of

Mastery. The first stage is called Geometry, and it will bring an understanding of the nature

of Source and its manifestations through exploring Sacred Geometry, Mandalas, and an

introduction to my own extension of these concepts known as Lightwebs. This article series

will be bi-weekly, so see you in two weeks! Namaste, and thank you for reading.
