But among these great Masters of Ancient Egypt there once dwelt one of whom Masters hailed as "The Master of Masters. Others have sought the answer in the idea that THE ALL "wished something to love" and others that it created for pleasure, or amusement; or because it "was lonely" or to manifest its power;--all puerile explanations and ideas, belonging to the childish period of thought.

While to THE INFINITE ALL, the Universe, its Laws, its Powers, its life, its Phenomena, are as things witnessed in the state of Meditation or Dream; yet to all that is Finite, the Universe must be treated as Real, and life, and action, and thought, must be based thereupon, accordingly, although with an ever understanding of the Higher Truth. So mote it be!

But, still, we prefer to think of THE ALL as acting entirely FREE from any influence, internal as well as external. The Hermetists have grasped this Principle, finding its universal application, and have also discovered certain means to overcome its effects in themselves by the use of the appropriate formulas and methods.

There has been so little written upon this subject, not withstanding the countless references to the Teachings in the many works upon occultism, that the many earnest searchers after the Arcane Truths will doubtless welcome the appearance of this present volume. Nor must it be supposed that they were ignorant of the so-called modern discoveries in psychology--on the contrary, the Egyptians were especially skilled in the science of Psychology, particularly in the branches that the modern schools ignore, but which, nevertheless, are being uncovered under the name of "psychic science" which is perplexing the psychologists of to-day, and making them reluctantly admit that "there may be something in it after all.

This Principle explains the true nature of "Energy," "Power," and "Matter," and why and how all these are subordinate to the Mastery of Mind.

"--The Kybalion. If you seek such teachings, you must go elsewhere for them--Hermeticism contains nothing for you along these lines.

And, more than this (and considered of more importance by the Hermetists), it is possible to change the vibrations of Hate to the vibrations of Love, in one's own mind, and in the minds of others. "--The Kybalion.

and No! The Principle of Correspondence must apply to this as well as to other problems.

It is the Law, from which the Laws proceed, and it is not subject to them. There is no Power outside of THE ALL to affect us.

The Teachings are that Matter is but a form of Energy--. And as there is Nothing outside of THE ALL, in Reality, then any and all such finite things must be as Nothing in Reality.
