readily understood by all
students of true
Hermeticism.
In this little book, of which
this is the First Lesson, we
invite our students to
examine into the Hermetic
Teachings, as set forth in
THE KYBALION and as
explained by ourselves,
humble students of the
Teachings, who, while
bearing the title of
Initiates, are still students
at the feet of HERMES, the
Master. We herein give you
many of the maxims,
axioms and precepts of
THE KYBALION,
accompanied by
explanations and
illustrations which we
deem likely to render the
teachings more easily
comprehended by the
modern student,
particularly as the original
text is purposely veiled in
obscure terms.
We trust that the many
st udents to whom we now
offer this little work will
derive as much benefit
from the study of its pages
as have the many who have
gone on before, treading

the same Path to Mastery
throughout the centuries
that have passed since the
times of HERMES
TRISMEGISTUS - the Master
of Masters - the GreatGreat. In the words of "THE
KYBALION", "Where fall
the footsteps of the Master,
the ears of those ready for
his Teaching open wide." The Kybalion."When the
ears of the student are
ready to hear, then
cometh the lips to fill them
with Wisdom." - The
Kybalion.
So that according to the
Teachings, the passage of
this book to those ready
for the instruction will
attract the attention of
such as are prepared to
receive the Teaching. And,
likewise, when the pupil is
ready to receive the truth,
then will this little book
come to him, or her. Such
is The Law. The Hermetic
Principle of Cause and
Effect, in its aspect of The
Law of Attraction, will
bring lips and ear together
- pupil and book in
company. So mote it be!
