So you thought those Pyramids in the Pin banner were a metaphor to pyramid schemes and the like. Well, they are in one sense, but that was always secondary visual play, probably not like you thought right?
I mean what pyramid scheme did you have in mind?
Meet the Kybalion
Book Summary:
“The Kybalion” is a book that was first published in 1908 and is attributed to the “Three Initiates.” The book is a study of the principles of Hermetic philosophy, which is a system of thought that originated in ancient Egypt and Greece.
The book is organized around seven core principles, which are referred to as the “Seven Hermetic Principles.” These principles are:
The Principle of Mentalism:
The idea that all reality is mental and that the mind is the fundamental creative force in the universe.
The Principle of Correspondence:
The idea that there is a correspondence between the physical and the spiritual worlds, and that what is above is reflected below.
The Principle of Vibration:
The idea that everything in the universe is in a state of vibration and that the differences between things are due to different rates of vibration.
The Principle of Polarity:
The idea that everything in the universe has its opposite and that these opposites are interconnected and interdependent.
The Principle of Rhythm:
The idea that everything in the universe moves in a cycle and that the cycles of nature reflect the principles of the universe.
The Principle of Cause and Effect:
The idea that every action has an equal and opposite reaction and that everything in the universe is connected.
The Principle of Gender:
The idea that everything in the universe has both male and female principles and that the balance between these principles is necessary for creation.
