Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well today. I thought I would share something with you all which made question the legitimacy of the Kybalion.
I was talking to Nicholas Morrissey on his newest article:
And he mentioned a few historical and moral problems with the Kybalion and Hermeticism as a whole:
- "Its all to take credit from all the major religions in order to give credit to cults and theosophists."
- "Hermes is a made up character likely by early theosophists. Its mostly complete historical nonsense mixed with stolen and bastardized truths."
- "There is just so much historical and religious contextual thievery in the Kybalion, that as one advances more and more is much more easily noticeable."
he claims that:
- "A majority of it [hermeticism] is taken from Hindu texts. Anu: Atom, Mentalism: Buddhi, Manas, Manu and so forth."
It is for this reason I will be temporarily removing large parts of my article where I delve into hermeticism:
and when I find the time I will be creating a new article which properly credits the right people.
Blessings to you all
