Kybalion: Seven Principles

Kybalion is a seven-week course through the seven principles of The Kybalion: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. One principle a week, one short step a day. The Kybalion was published in Chicago in 1912 by "Three Initiates", and it presents itself as ancient Hermetic teaching. The Hermetic writings are real and old, but they are a different text. This app keeps the two apart: every claim carries one of three labels. HERMETIC - found in the ancient Hermetic writings (The Divine Pymander), with the place and the sentence given. KYBALION - found in the 1912 book, and in nothing older that can be shown. MODERN - a sentence written for this app. WHAT A WEEK LOOKS LIKE • Day 1: the axiom, quoted word for word from chapter II • Day 2: the chapter that sets the principle out, in brief, with the full text a tap away • Day 3: a question to sit with, with no right answer • Day 4: the book's own example: the thermometer, the pendulum, the spinning wheel • Day 5: an exercise in noticing, never a technique with a promised result • Day 6: where the principle collides with another, and how the book reconciles them • Day 7: what the book does not say, and where modern retellings part from it WHAT ELSE IS INSIDE • All seven axioms, exactly as printed in 1912 • The fifteen chapters of the book, in full • For each principle, the passage in the ancient Hermetic writings that comes closest, or a plain note that there is none • "Which principle": describe a situation in a sentence and get two or three principles to look at it through, each with a question. Matched by keyword, not by judgement • A glossary of more than thirty terms, each with its level • A recognition quiz with no score and no clock • Short articles: a book from 1912, what Hermetic actually means, polarity is not positivity • A home-screen widget with the day's step, and an optional daily reminder NO STREAKS The app counts the days you practised. That number only grows. It does not count days in a row, so there is nothing to break, no badges and no percentages. The course moves when you do: week three begins when week two is done, and after a pause it opens exactly where you stopped. Everything is on the device. No account, no sign-in, nothing you write is sent anywhere. Everything in the app is free: all seven weeks, every chapter, the tools and the reminder. It shows ads, and a single one-time purchase removes them.
