Cómo Usar el KYBALION: Claves de Alquimia MENTAL Hermética

The possession of knowledge if it is not accompanied by a manifestation and expression in practice and work is the same as burying precious metals. a vain and useless thing knowledge as well as fortune must be used Hermetic teachings have been jealously kept secret by their fortunate possessors However, it was never considered to keep them secret permanently. the law of use is intrinsically linked to these teachings If knowledge is not used and expressed, it becomes something vain incapable of providing the slightest benefit to its possessor.

we must move away from all mental greed and manifest in action what we have learned Although it is crucial to study the axioms and aphorisms, it is also imperative to put them into practice. Below we present some of the most important hermetic axioms extracted from the Kybalion with some additional comments Each individual must make these principles their own, practice and apply them since they only truly become their own possession. when put into practice one to change your characteristic or mental state change your vibration you can alter your mental vibrations through an effort of will by deliberately focusing your attention on the desired state the will directs attention and the latter modifies the vibration Cultivating the art of attention through will solves the problem of mastering mental modalities and states two To destroy an undesirable degree of vibration, operate the principle of polarity and focus your attention on the opposite pole to the one you want to suppress.

This is one of the most important hermetic formulas and is based on true scientific principles. It was already indicated that a mental state and its opposite were simply two poles of the same thing. and that through mental transmutation that polarity could be reversed Modern psychologists know this principle and apply it to dissolve undesirable habits, advising their disciples to concentrate on the opposite quality.

If you are afraid, it is useless to waste your time trying to kill the fear. But you must cultivate courage and then fear will disappear Some authors have expressed this idea by illustrating it with the example of a dark room. There is no need to waste time trying to throw out the darkness, but it is much better to open the windows and let the light in.

and the darkness will disappear by itself To kill a negative quality it is necessary to concentrate on the positive pole of that same quality and the vibrations will gradually change from negative to positive until finally it will be polarized on the positive pole instead of being polarized on the negative pole the reverse is also true because many have found pain for having allowed themselves to vibrate too constantly on the negative pole of things By changing the polarity, the modalities and mental states can be mastered, remaking one's entire disposition and thus building one's character. much of the control that advanced hermetics possess over their mentality is due to the intelligent application of polarity which is one of the most important aspects of mental transmutation Three, the mind, like metals and elements, can be transmuted from degree to degree to condition to condition from pole to pole from vibration to vibration. mastering polarity means mastering the principles of transmutation or mental alchemy because unless the art of changing one's own polarity is acquired the environment around us cannot be affected If we understand this principle we can change our own polarity as well as that of others as long as we dedicate the time to it.

the care, study and practice necessary to master that art the principle is true but the results obtained depend on the persistent patience and practice of the student 4 Rhythm Can Be Neutralized Through The Art Of Polarization As we already explained in previous chapters, hermetics maintain the principle of rhythm that manifests itself on the mental plane. as well as on the physical plane and that the chained succession of modalities, feelings, emotions and other mental states They are due to the oscillating movement of the mental pendulum that drags us from one extreme to another Hermetics also teach that the law of neutralization enables us to a great extent to overcome the operation of rhythm. and the conscience As we have already explained, there is a higher plane of consciousness as well as a lower one.

and the teacher mentally rising to the higher plane makes the oscillation of the mental pendulum manifest on the lower plane while he remains on the other, thus freeing his consciousness from the opposite oscillation This is carried out by polarizing in the higher self, thus raising the mental vibrations of the ego above the ordinary plane of consciousness. It is the same as rising above something and allowing it to pass under you. The advanced hermetic polarizes himself on the positive pole of his being, the I am, rather than on the pole of his personality, and refuses and denies the operation of rhythm.

It rises above its plane of consciousness, remaining firm in its affirmation of being, and the oscillation passes on the lower plane without changing its own polarity at all. This is done by all individuals who have achieved any degree of self-control, whether they understand the law or not. These people simply refuse to be carried away by the oscillation and, by resolutely asserting their superiority, remain positively polarized.

The teacher of course reaches a greater degree of perfection because he perfectly understands the law he is mastering. with the help of a higher law and through his will he acquires a degree of balance and firmness almost impossible to conceive of those who allow themselves to be carried from one place to another. by the oscillations of emotionality always remember though that the principle of rhythm cannot be destroyed because it is indestructible It is only possible to overcome one law by balancing it with another, thus maintaining the balance The laws of balance operate on both the mental and physical levels and the understanding of these laws they allow one to overcome them by counterbalancing them 5 Nothing escapes the principle of cause and effect but there are many planes of causality and one can use the laws of the higher plane to dominate those of the lower plane.

By understanding the practice of polarization, the hermetic rises to the higher plane of causality, thus balancing the laws of the lower planes. By rising above the plane of ordinary causes one becomes to some extent a cause instead of being a simple effect. By being able to dominate one's feelings and modalities and neutralizing the rhythm, one can avoid a large part of the operations of the law of cause and effect.

on the ordinary level The masses allow themselves to be carried away, obeying the environment that surrounds them, the wills and desires of some men stronger than them. to the effects of inherited tendencies or to suggestions or other external causes being nothing more than simple pieces on the chessboard of life Rising above these causes, advanced hermetics seek a higher plane of mental action and master their own qualities. New character qualities and powers are created through which they overcome their ordinary environment, thus becoming directors instead of directed These individuals help consciously play the game of life instead of being moved by influences.

external powers or wills They use the principle of cause and effect instead of being dominated by it Of course, even the highest beings are subject to this principle as the higher planes manifest, but in the lower ones they are masters and not slaves. according to the Kybalion The wise serve in the higher but rule the lower It obeys the laws that are above it but on its own plane and in those that are below it it governs and orders. However, in doing so it is part of the principle rather than opposing it.

The wise man immerses himself in the law and, understanding its movements, operates in it instead of being its blind slave, similar to the good swimmer. goes from here to there according to his own will Instead of letting yourself be carried away like the Madero that floats in the current However, the swimmer, the wise and the ignorant They are all subject to the law He who understands this is on the right path that leads to mastery 6 true hermetic transmutation is a mental art in such hermetic evil action indicates that the external environment is influenced by the power of the mind the Universe that is totally mental can only be mastered through mentality In this truth will be found the explanation of all the phenomena and manifestations of the various mental powers. that attracted so much attention in the 20th century Behind all the teaching given by the various schools or religions there always constantly lies the principle of the mental substantiality of the Universe.

If this is mental, its intrinsic nature easily follows that mental transmutation must modify and transform the conditions and phenomena of the Universe and that the mind must be the greatest power that can affect its phenomena If this truth is understood, all the so-called miracles and wonders will cease to have any dark point because the explanation is very clear and simple. Everything is mind, the Universe is mental Esotericism is rich in key words, symbols and conceptual essences. Its transmission through the ages involved arduous learning, memorization of meanings and persistent custody of its original values.

so that nothing preserved would lose its color, its flavor, its purpose and its intensity. Under the protection of such premises, the tree of hermetic science gradually grew, recognizing the Kybalion as its roots. and this last summary of timeless knowledge found its most accomplished mentor and messenger in Hermes Trismegistus.
