Carlos White's Key Ideas from The Kybalion
by Three Initiates

"As above, so below; as below, so above."

There is harmony between different planes of existence (spiritual, mental, physical). Understanding one level helps you understand the others.

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."

Everything in the universe is in constant motion, vibrating at different frequencies. By changing your vibration, you can change your reality.

"Everything is dual; everything has poles."

Opposites are the same thing differing only in degree (e.g., hot and cold are both temperature). Understanding this helps you reconcile opposites and transform negative experiences.

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides."

Life operates in cycles and patterns. By understanding and working with these rhythms, you can navigate life more effectively.

"Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause."

Nothing happens by chance. By becoming the "cause" in your life, you can consciously create the outcomes you desire.

"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles."

Creation arises from the interplay of masculine (active) and feminine (receptive) energies, which exist in all things, including thoughts and actions.
