This special volume is a companion to the feature-length documentary, The Kybalion, starring occult scholar Mitch Horowitz and directed by award-winning filmmaker Ronni Thomas.In addition to the complete classic text, Mitch’s new introduction highlights themes in the book and documentary, and it guides seekers through the occult work’s authentic connections to the Hermetic philosophy of Ancient Egypt.In his introduction, Mitch explains how he came to understand The Kybalion as an authentic retention of esoteric Egyptian ideas—and how the insights of the ancients can remake your life and search today.Is The Kybalion a real expression of Hermeticism? Yes, Mitch answers—but, as with all things Hermetic, the answer is never quite as simple as it seems. Discover—or rediscover—what The Kybalion offers you in this powerful companion edition.“Some of the book’s concepts about mind, matter, and thought-creativity demonstrate genuine resonance with the ideas of Hermetic antiquity. This is no a small matter. The Kybalion . . . connects modern seekers, however tenuously, to concepts that once motivated acolytes from a vastly removed era.” —Mitch Horowitz, GNOSIS: Journal of Gnostic Studies
