Today, magick is considered by many tobe an art and not a science. Perhaps the word "science" scares peopleand makes them think that the "mystery" of magick will be takenaway if scientific principle is applied. And yet, everything in thephysical plane operates in accordance with some "law" or method. Forinstance, if we throw a ball up in the air it will come down because ofthe force of gravity. Magick also follows a series of rules in how itoperates. These rules are referred to by some as Hermetic Philosophyand are part of the Hermetic Teachings.Hermetic Philosophy is discussed in detail in "The Kybalion:Hermetic Philosophy" by Three Initiates. This book was written in1912 and published initially by the Yogi Publication Society, MasonicTemple, Chicago IL. The book is still available, but usually must beordered. A word of warning: the book was written in the flowery stylecommon at the turn of the century. It can sometimes be easy to getlost in the language, or to fall prey to the idea that "most of you arenot worthy or ready for this information." Just keep your attentionfocused on the real message—the sharing of knowledge.
The roots of Hermetic Philosophy lie within ancient Egypt. The ideaswere passed to mankind through the "Master of Masters," who dweltin Egypt from the earliest days. His name was Hermes Trismegistus,the father of Occult Wisdom, the founder of Astrology, and thediscoverer of Alchemy. The title "Trismegistus" means "thrice great."Some believe that the Egyptians deified Hermes and made him one oftheir gods, Thoth. Many years later, he was adopted by the Greeks andknown as Hermes, Messenger (or Scribe) of the Gods.The teachings of Hermes Trismegistus were reserved for a select fewwho had proven themselves worthy to seek the knowledge. Thosewho did learn the knowledge were sworn to secrecy. In those days,most people were believed to be incapable of learning. "Do not castpearls before swine. Give milk to the babes, but give meat to thestrong men." Throughout history, this belief has been held by manyorganizations. I personally believe that at the time of Hermes it wastrue. Humans as a species are still in an early stage of evolution. Atany one time there are always a few humans who are more advancedthan others, but for the most part the majority of the populace is justbeginning the journey to find knowledge. However, in the past 8,000years, mankind as a whole has grown, and there are more people whoare beginning to become ready for this information.The teachings of Hermetic Philosophy are really part of HermeticAlchemy. Alchemy is the mastery of mental forces rather thanmaterial elements. It deals with the transmutation of mental vibrationsinto others, as opposed to the classic idea of changing lead into gold.The common belief is really allegory, shadowing the truth in symbolsto hide the knowledge from those who are not yet ready, and topreserve it from those who would destroy it.The Principles of Hermetic PhilosophyThis system not only describes how the universe operates, but it alsodescribes the fundamental principles that govern the operation ofmagick—it is the "physics" of magick. There are seven principles thatform the core of the system: The Principle of Mentalism The Principle of Correspondence
The Principle of Vibration The Principle of Polarity The Principle of Rhythm The Principle of Cause and Effect The Principle of GenderThe Principle of Mentalism begins with the belief that everything ismental. "We are but a thought in the mind of the ALL." The ALL iseverything that was, is and will be, and at the same time it is nothing.At the highest level, there is the underlying creative force of theuniverse. This force cannot be described in human terms and cannotbe truly understood by humans. The ALL is everything andeverything is part of the ALL. In magick, nothing can occur withoutfirst occurring as a thought; once the thought occurs, the rest follows.The Principle of Correspondence says that there is always acorrespondence between the laws of the various planes of existence.The phrase, "As above so below; as below so above" is an applicationof this principle. Since everything is mental, and everything is part ofthe ALL, then everything is interconnected. Therefore, the higherplanes of existence have correspondences to the lower planes ofexistence. We are microcosms of the universe, and the universe is amacrocosm within which we are contained. This idea is one of themost influential of all the principles. This principle allows us toinfluence the higher planes and shows how the higher planesinfluence us.The Principle of Vibration states that "everything is in constantmotion." Everything is constantly changing, growing, moving, in astate of flux. Let us examine our physical existence for a moment. Allmatter is composed of smaller particles, atoms. At one time wethought that the atom was the smallest unit of matter. Atoms arealways in motion. As such, we are constantly in motion on some level,even when we appear to be at rest. In this century, we have discoveredthat the atom is comprised of smaller building blocks called protons,neutrons, and electrons. We have recently proven that there are evensmaller particles such as quarks, leptons, muons, and many others.Until the turn of the century (1900s), the general thought was that
objects were solid and did not move. Note that the Principle ofVibration, which has been around for thousands of years, statesotherwise. Science is just now catching up with what magick hasknown for a very long time. If we look at matter, we see that it iscomposed of energy. Energy is simply a force moving at a certain rateof vibration. Take, for instance, light: light that we can see—thevisible spectrum—appears in the colors we know as red, orange,yellow, blue, green, indigo, and violet. All the colors are actuallycomprised of the same discrete units of energy (photons), but theyvibrate at different rates. The different rates of vibration cause us tosee the different colors. The Principle of Vibration allows us to seehow to transform or transmute energy states.The Principle of Polarity contains the idea that "everything isdualistic in nature." Another way to say this is that everything has itsopposite. An easy illustration of this is heat and cold. Heat and coldare both descriptions of temperature (a measure of amount of energycontained by an object), but where does one draw the line between hotand cold? The human body cannot tell the difference betweenextremes of heat and cold. For example, if you have a wart removedwith liquid nitrogen, the spot will first feel cool and then will feel as ifsomeone is burning you with a match or flame. Heat and cold aremerely degrees, differing only in the rate of vibration. We see polarityall around us and refer to it every day: light and dark, hard and soft,large and small, loud and quiet, black and white, positive andnegative. These are all common manifestations of polarity. All thesepairs are related and differ only by degree. This principle is veryimportant to the concept of mental transmutation. If we wish to changesomething from negative to positive, then we must recognize thatnegative and positive are the same thing, but vibrating at differentrates. Once this is realized, then all that must be done is to raise thevibrational rate of the negative. Mental transmutation will bediscussed in more detail later in this lesson.The Principle of Rhythm states that everything moves in cycles."Everything flows out and in; everything has tides; all things rise andfall; the pendulum swing manifests in everything; the measure of theswing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythmcompensates."—The Kybalion. We cannot cause a principle or law notto work, but it can be neutralized. The Mental Law of Neutralizationallows one to see the swing or rhythm, to locate a point in the swing at
which they wish to be, and then to move themselves to it, thusnullifying the effect of the swing.The Principle of Cause and Effect states that "there is a cause forevery effect." If a ball rolls down a hill (effect), then there must havebeen some cause (something moved it) to precipitate the rolling downthe hill. In science, this is known as the Newton's First Law ofMotion: "an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by anexternal force, and an object in motion tends to remain in motionunless acted upon by an external force." The law of cause and effectapplies to both physical and non-physical manifestations. Thisprinciple, in part, incorporates the idea that YOU are responsible foryour actions. YOU have the power to change the course of your life—it is YOUR ultimate decision to take any action. The power of thisprinciple can be seen in everyday life, especially in interpersonalrelationships. If someone yells at you, what is your honest andimmediate reaction? For most people, it is to respond in kind. Now, itis up to you to decide if you wish to take that action (yelling back). Ifa person smiles at you what is your initial reaction? Usually it is tosmile back. These are simple examples of this principle at work. Foreverything that happens, something had to cause that event to occur.The Principle of Gender states that there is gender in everything. Onthe physical plane, gender manifests as sex. On the higher planes,gender refers to the duality, the polarity of active and passive forces,the Yin and the Yang, the Male and the Female. Every individualcontains both aspects of male and female, Yin and Yang. Sexually, allhumans start out as females; it is not until the third week of gestationthat the fetus begins to take on either male or female aspects. Thisillustrates that both aspects of Being are present within everyone. Theprinciple of Gender works in the direction of generation,regeneration, and creation. Without this principle there can be nocreation.Hopefully, by this point you are already beginning to see applicationof these principles on many levels. The highest application of theseideas is in Mental Transmutation. Transmutation is the process ofchanging one thing into another. Mental Transmutation is the art ofchanging and transforming mental states, forms, and conditions intoothers. The key to mental transmutation is that everything is mental.Since everything is mental, we can effect change by applying mental
force—if our force (Will and energy) is strong enough, we can effectthe change we want to make. Mental transmutation takes place on themental plane, thereby causing change to occur on the physical plane(remember the Principle of Correspondence). Only the most advancedmasters can manifest large-scale change, in the grossest sense, on thephysical plane. Even then, there are limits to what can beaccomplished in physical incarnations.Before going further, I wish to switch tracks for a moment and discussa little of what is and is not possible. Many people like to spout theidea that "everything is possible." Well, everything is possible,depending on your level of ability and spiritual maturity. When wedevelop to the point where we rejoin the ALL or the TAO or the"universe," then all things will be possible. However, we are not yetthere. We operate on the physical plane, the lower astral planes, andthe lower mental planes. Everything is energy. To transform energy,we must be able to "grasp" and shape the energy. The physical body,much like a piece of copper wire, can handle only a limited amount ofenergy. If you have ever looked inside a light bulb while it is off, youwill see two posts with a small piece of coiled wire inside. Whenelectricity is applied, the small coil of metal begins to glow, because itis resisting the flow of energy. If too much energy is applied, then thecoil will become too hot and explode or melt.To some degree, the same process occurs within people, because thephysical body is subject to physical laws. One of these is that there isa limit to what can be contained or channeled. Another way to see thisis to look at the human body as the small end of the funnel. Whathappens when you attempt to pour a gallon of water into a funnel?Well, if you pour too much, it overflows—the small end cannothandle the physical volume of water.The use of energy is also governed by mental and spiritual maturity.Remember the first two hermetic principles: Mentalism andCorrespondence. How many of us can truly control our thoughts? Ifthe body could manipulate unlimited power, then we could manifestanything that our minds could create. For those of you who watchscience fiction, cast your mind back to the movie "Forbidden Planet,"or remember the "Alice in Wonderland" episode of original "StarTrek," or the episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" where TheTraveler appeared. In each of these shows, mankind was given the
ability to create anything that he/she could imagine. At our stage ofdevelopment, mankind could easily destroy the fabric of creation ifwe were able to wield limitless energy. Still don't believe me? As anexperiment, picture an apple in as much detail as you can. See theround shape, the stem, a few leaves on the stem; see the shading onthe apple, its texture, the shading on the stem, and the textures of thestem; see the veins in the leaves. Now, see the entire apple in all itsdetail. Hold the image in your mind. Think of nothing but the apple.Hold the image in your mind for five seconds. Try it for 10 seconds.Hold it for a minute. Ten minutes. Hold the image for an hour, fivehours, a whole day. Continue to hold the image until you can nolonger hold it. Be honest: could you see the apple? How long did youmanage to hold the image before it changed or before other thoughtsintruded on what you were seeing? If you cannot maintain perfectcontrol of your mind for even a limited time period, then what wouldhappen if you could create anything in your mind? Imagine yourworst nightmare being made manifest. Now, image the worstnightmares of an entire planet being made manifest on the physical.Just because we do not have access or control over limitless energydoes not mean that we cannot effect change on a smaller, morepersonal scale. Our ability to effect change is limited to the amount ofenergy we can manipulate and the strength of our wills. There is anupper limit to what the human body can handle, but very few peopleoperate anywhere near that level. The ability to manipulate energy istied to the energy channels and system of the body (the chakras arepart of this system and will be discussed in a later lesson). Thesechannels are like muscles and must be "exercised" in order to increasethe amount of energy they can handle. The more an individual workswith energy, the more energy he/she will be able to manipulate it, andthe longer he/she will be able to manipulate it without tiring. Withenough dedication and exercise, you can reach your physicallimitation, but it does not happen overnight, just as lifting weights fora week will not allow you to lift a car over your head. Magick takespractice and work. In short, you have to train for it.The Planes of Existence (Matter and Energy)So far, we have spoken only with regard to the physical planes. Tosome extent, the limitations are lessened on the astral and mentalplanes, but there are still limitations. This is due partly to the spiritualmaturity level and partly to the chakra systems. (The chakras exist on
more than one plane.) In short, if you are reading this, then you arenot at the level needed to manifest excessive change on a global scale.(And, no, neither am I. However, one "day" I will be able to this;eventually everyone will be able to do it.)Let us look at how Hermetic Philosophy perceives the "planes ofexistence." This term is a bit misleading, since all planessimultaneously exist and overlap. To some extent, it is like a buildingwith three major sections. Each section occupies multiple floors.Again, this is a separation that exists only in the human mind for thesake of clarity. The planes are really groupings of degree (orvibration) within the manifestation of "like." Each of the major planesis divided into seven minor planes. Each of the minor planes isdivided into seven sub-planes.The major planes of existence are:The Physical PlaneThe Mental PlaneThe Spiritual PlaneThe Physical Plane is comprised of matter and isthe realm of physical existence.The Mental Plane is the real of thought andconsciousness.The Spiritual Plane is the realm of deity and TheALL.The physical plane is divided into seven minor planes:The Plane of Matter (A)The Plane of Matter (B)The Plane of Matter (C)The Plane of Ethereal SubstanceThe Plane of Energy (A)The Plane of Energy (B)The Plane of Energy (C)The Plane of Matter (A) is comprised of thegrossest forms of matter such as solids, liquids andgasses.The Plane of Matter (B) is composed of the moresubtle forms of matter such as the radiant matter(radium, etc).The Plane of Matter (C) is composed of the finestforms of physical matter.The Plane of Ethereal Substance is composed ofthe "ether," the unifying element of the universe.The ether connects the grosser forms of matter andenergy.The Plane of Energy (A) is composed of the grossforms of energy such as light, sound, heat,electricity, gravitation, cohesive force, etc.The Plane of Energy (B) is comprised of the morecomplex energy forms such as plasmas.The Plane of Energy (C) is comprised of theenergy of the "gods." This form of energy isaccessible only to those operating exclusively onthe spiritual planes. It is the stuff of creation. Andit, too, is comprised of seven sub-planes.
The Mental Plane comprises the forms of living things, or life as weunderstand it, and is divided into seven minor planes:The Plane of the Mineral MindThe Plane of the Elemental Mind (A)The Plane of the Plant MindThe Plane of the Elemental Mind (B)The Plane of the Animal MindThe Plane of the Elemental Mind (C)The Plane of the Human mindThe Plane of The Mineral Mind comprises thestates of units or entities that animate the forms ofminerals.The Plane of The Elemental Mind (A) is the realmof the lower level elemental forces of nature.The Plane of The Plant Mind is the realm of theplant kingdom and plant consciousness.The Plane of The Elemental Mind (B) is comprisedof the higher elemental forces or entities such asgnomes, sylphs, salamanders, and undines—thosewho control the lower level elementals.The Plane of The Animal Mind is comprised of theanimal level consciousness.The Plane of The Elemental Mind (C) is the realmof the more evolved elemental entities.The Plane of The Human Mind is comprised of themanifestations of life and existence.The Spiritual Plane is composed of those entities that exist in spiritualform (non-corporeal). This is the plane of the ascended beings and ofdeity. This is the realm of angels and guides, archangels, demigods,and other such entities. This plane is so far removed from ours that itis difficult to say much about the seven sub-planes. Until we reach afurther stage of development, it is useless even to attempt to speculateabout a plane populated by beings who are at a level of existence asfar advanced over ours as we are over that of the common amoeba.The last paragraph is paraphrased from The Kybalion. We mustremember that this information was imparted a very long time ago andhas been handed down for centuries. The book itself was put togetherat the beginning of the 20th century. Since that time, I believe thatthere have been great strides made in understanding a little more of
