Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.


The Kybalion is, in my arrogant opinion, the best book on occult psychology around. For the Initiate, one can use the keys therein to unlock various occult writings, and for anyone else, the passages on vibrations can go quite far in meditation work and daily life in general. I've been studying this book for about four years.:

From the Introduction:

These men have never sought popular approval, nor numbers of followers. They are indifferent to these things, for they know how few there are in each generation who are ready for the truth, or who would recognize it if it were presented to them. They reserve the "strong meat for men," while others furnish the "milk for babes." They reserve their pearls of wisdom for the few elect, who recognize their value and who wear them in their crowns, instead of casting them before the materialistic vulgar swine, who would trample them in the mud and mix them with their disgusting mental food. But still these men have never forgotten or overlooked the original teachings of Hermes, regarding the passing on of the words of truth of those ready to receive it, which teaching is stated in The Kybalion as follows: "Where fall the footsteps of the Master, the ears of those ready for his Teaching open wide." And again: "When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom." But their customary attitude has always been strictly in accordance with the other Hermetic aphorism, also in The Kybalion: "The lips of Wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding."


This passage reminds me of Liber AL vel Legis, Ch III, v. 42, line 4:

Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not overmuch!


Love is the law, love under will.


Frater LA'AL
