You probably don't understand what saved mean in Bible

It means to be given eternal life and that is the kind of life God possess it means to be chosen by God and be loved by God to be his child forever

what is God saving you from?

that is my question...

Arda1000:
well I don’t see the moral of the story

that's because you are looking with your physical eyes, not the eyes of the mind,

do you have any?

Arda1000:
maybe you should read the verse in your native tongue,good luck defending fairytales

i have never denied it's not a fairy tale
Any story with talking animal is sure to be a fairy tale......

I am concerned with the message the writer is trying to pass....dont loose sight of it...

saved from what if I may asked.

you Christian lot, seems to be missing the most important point in all these discussion.

God gave us a list of those we can and can't have sex with in Leviticus 18.
so I will encourage us to read it and fully understand it.
in all you do, if you think you are God's gift to women, stay away from another man's wife. I repeat, stay away from another man's wife...a word is enough for the wise.

There is a big difference between
To look and To see

To hear and To listen.

The proper understanding of these concept will shed more light on the tale of Adam and Eve..

That’s one of the main reasons why biblical scholarship is so important as it indicates why much of the New Testament is based on borrowed so-called “prophesies” from the Hebrew scriptures taken out of context, and rewritten as if they actually happened especially in the life of Jesus.

If people don't know the background to these stories they can' easily be misled by church leaders and preachers (who may not have bothered to do their research either) so do not know the details and background.

That’s why religions like Christianity are based on misinformation and myth and most Christians do not have the knowledge to realise this so are exposed to deceit.

The Only Child That Was Called God In The Bible

Long before His birth, it had been prophesied that a virgin shall give birth to a child whose name shall be called Emmanuel.

Isaiah 7:14 (KJV) 

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

The name Emmanuel was later interpreted by archangel Gabriel to mean "God with us".

Matthew 1:22-23 (KJV) 

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Although the naming of prophetic children long before their births wasn't uncommon in the Bible, however never was a prophetic child prophetically called God, until it came to the Child that was prophesied to be born of a virgin.

Moreover this wasn't done just once but on several occasions in the Bible, to prove His being called God wasn't by accident or a mere coincidence but divinely orchestrated by God.

Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) 

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

God bless.

As for Isaiah 9:6 the child has already been born. it is written in past tense. the child in question is future king Hezekiah
why do you people want yhis passages to say what it never says. you guys like taking text out of its proper context . learn, unleran and relearn.

MaxInDHouse:
Mention the name of your group where this teaching goes round if not never ever count me along with your opinion!🙂

that is what Judaism teaches.
God never asked us to be members of a cult before we obey his commandments. he asked us to keep his commandments and teach it to our children.
why do you have so much hatred for common sense?

Order of Events

Let’s quickly address the notion that Matthew’s events contradict Luke’s events. In the previous section, we noticed that there was a gap of time between Matthew 1 and Matthew 2, which opens with, “Now after Jesus was born . . .” Luke 2:8–38 describes multiple events that fill in that time gap. First, the angels appear to the shepherds on the night Jesus was born, and then the shepherds enter Bethlehem and see the newborn Savior (Luke 2:8–20). Second, eight days later, Jesus was circumcised (Luke 2:21). Third, 40 days after his birth, Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Jerusalem to offer the sacrifice required by the law. It was during this visit to the temple that they met Simeon and Anna (Luke 2:22–38).

Similarly, following Luke 2:38, we need to insert the events from Matthew 2 before proceeding to Luke 2:39. Matthew 2:1–12 tells us about the visit of the magi. The next three verses describe Joseph and Mary taking Jesus to Egypt after an angel warned Joseph in a dream about Herod’s evil plot (Matthew 2:13–15). This could not have happened prior to their visit to the temple after Jesus’ 40th day. Matthew 2:16–18 describes Herod’s slaughter of the innocent baby boys in Bethlehem. We are told in Matthew 2:19–23 that Joseph, Mary, and Jesus remained in Egypt until Herod’s death. At the end of this passage, the events sync up with Luke 2:39, as both mention the move back to Nazareth.

Perhaps it would help to see these details in a list:

Jesus is born in Bethlehem (Matthew 1:25; Luke 2:1–7).
Angels announce Jesus’ birth to shepherds (Luke 2:8–14).
Shepherds visit Bethlehem and see Jesus (Luke 2:15–20).
Jesus is circumcised on the 8th day (Luke 2:21).
Jesus is taken to the temple where Simeon and Anna see him (Luke 2:22–38).
Magi arrive in Jerusalem, meet with Herod, and then see Jesus in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1–12).
Joseph takes Mary and Jesus to Egypt (Matthew 2:13–15).
Herod slaughters Bethlehem’s baby boys (Matthew 2:16–18).
Joseph, Mary, and Jesus move to Nazareth (Matthew 2:19–23; Luke 2:39).

Genealogy Names

Those details are fairly easy to reconcile, but as indicated above, the genealogies in Matthew and Luke pose a bit of an issue since they have different names between David and Jesus. There are actually two potential solutions to the supposed problems here.

The first solution is the easiest to follow. If Matthew records Joseph’s genealogy and Luke provides Mary’s genealogy, then it is not a problem to have different names going back to David. Luke 3:23 may hint at this when it tells us that Jesus was the son (as was supposed) of Joseph. Also, Luke closely follows Mary’s perspective of the events while Matthew follows Joseph’s perspective.

The second solution is rather complicated, but it is feasible and relies on the Mosaic law known as a levirate marriage where the brother of a married man who died before having children would marry his brother’s widow to provide a child in his brother’s name. Here is how it would work:

Joseph’s father Heli dies before his wife has a child.
Heli’s widow marries his brother, a man named Jacob.
Jacob and Heli’s widow have a son (Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father), but according to the law, Joseph will belong to Heli.
[One more confusing step:] Jacob’s father Matthan, a descendant of Solomon, dies after Jacob is born.
Jacob’s mother remarries, but since she already has a son, she does not marry Matthan’s brother. Instead, she marries a man with a similar name, Matthat.2
Yes, it is confusing, but it explains how Joseph can be said to be the son of Heli, the son of Matthat (Luke 3:23–24), while also being called the son of Jacob, the son of Matthan (Matthew 1:15–16).

Either solution works, so there is no contradiction here.

so many problems arises from your assertion.
firstly whose gospel are your preaching? you making a super gospel by merging the gospels together, you are making Mathew look like Luke.
secondly Jesus is not related to Joseph by blood, what is the purpose of the genealogy and thirdly genealogy is only transferred from father to son. why are you mentioning Mary??
I think It was an editor that added the virgin birth nonsense probably to bring the Greeks into the new religion...I am just guessing.

Christianity is nothing short of paganism.

I have dealt with this two passages with Macindhouse. This is the only passages he brings up anytime i ask for the evidence of jesus from the tanakh. And even you jesusjnr, you should know better, but unfortunately.......it is not to be.
Isaiah 7 is about a war, it has nothing to do with jesus. It is not a messianIc prophesy.
Sytia and the northern 10 tribes formed an alliance, they wanted to go to judah and effect a regime change. It means they were going to make war on Judah and kill king Ahaz and any of his children who could lay claim to the throne in the future. When king Ahaz heard, he was troubled and scared. Then God sent prophet isaiah to him to assure him that whatever they where planing will not come to pass, when isaiah told him he was not convinced and then isaiah then asked him to ask God for a sign that will assure him that his kingdom will withstand the threat of the two kings. He then said he cant put God to a test.. Then isiah then said. God on his own will give you a sign ,behold this young woman(Ha almah) referring to the prophetess was with child. Isaiah himself was responsible for the pregnancy. The real prophecy is given in verse 16. Before the child knows to choose the good and shorn evil, the two kings will be deserted by its people...

I w

The Torah’s language about blood and atonement is precise and covenantal rather than mystical, “For the life (nefesh) of the flesh is in the blood… and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement” (Leviticus 17:11) means that in the Temple service the blood of a permitted animal (representing its life) was placed on God’s altar as a Divinely commanded rite that purified and restored the worshipper within the sacrificial system, and it also explains why Israel is strictly forbidden to consume blood (the “life” belongs to God and is reserved for the altar). In that framework, blood is not a transferable substance that “pays” for sin by itself, and the sacrifices never function as a mechanical substitute for personal responsibility; the entire Tanach insists that what ultimately turns a person back to God is teshuvah (return/repentance), confession, making wrongs right, and humble obedience, with offerings serving as one commanded expression of that return when the Temple stood.

Blood was never an absolute for the atonement for sin. That is why someone knowledgeable in true Torah meaning will not accept the Hebrews claim “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9:22) as a universal rule, because even within the Torah there are offerings that are explicitly non-blood. In Leviticus 5:11 the poor brought floor to the Temple to atone for their sins, if they could not afford animals, and there are many avenues of atonement described by Scripture and the prophets prayer - 1 Kings 8:46–50, Hosea 14:2–3 and Daniel 9:3–5. Repentance - Deuteronomy 30:1–3, Isaiah 55:6–7, Ezekiel 18:21–23, 30–32 and Hosea 14:1–2. Fasting - Joel 2:12–13, Jonah 3:5–10, Esther 4:16 and Isaiah 58:5–7. Charity - Proverbs 10:2, Proverbs 11:4, Daniel 4:27 and Deuteronomy 15:7–11. Moral repair alongside sacrifices - Leviticus 5:20–26 (Christian numbering often: Leviticus 6:1–7), Numbers 5:6–8, Exodus 22:1–5 and Isaiah 1:16–17. Furthermore, the Torah itself limits what sacrifices can accomplish, and does not present them as wiping away willful rebellion while the heart remains unchanged. Hebrews 10:4 (“it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins”) in Torah this sounds like a critique of a caricature (sacrifices as magic), because Torah never taught that animal blood automatically erases moral guilt; rather, sacrifices were effective when God commanded them, in their proper place and manner, together with repentance, and they addressed different categories of impurity and transgression within the covenant life of Israel. See Isaiah 1:11–17, Jeremiah 7:21–23, Hosea 6:6, Psalm 51:16–19 and Micah 6:6–8. For sin offerings for unintentional sins, Leviticus 4:1–2, 27–28. For sins committed unintentionally, for which atonement is provided, and “high-handed” (defiant) sins, for which the person is held fully accountable and “cut off”, Numbers 15:22–31. For the atonement of the Sanctuary because of Israel’s impurities, Leviticus 16:16. For the offering after childbirth, Leviticus 12:6–8. For the purification/atonement in the metzora (skin condition) process, Leviticus 14:19–20, 31. For the offerings connected to impurity discharge cases, Leviticus 15:14–15, 29–30

In Isaiah’s repeated insistence that salvation is from God Himself never a human substitute, “ God is my salvation… with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation” (Isaiah 12:2–3) and “Turn to Me (יהוה) and be saved, all the ends of the earth… to Me (יהוה) every knee shall bow” (Isaiah 45:22–23). It is easy to hear the uncompromising message of divine unity… Israel’s hope is not in any independent savior-figure but in the Holy One (יהוה) alone, who ultimately draws the nations to recognize Him and who vindicates Israel (“In יהוה all the seed of Israel shall be justified and shall glory,” Isaiah 45:25). Finally, in Habakkuk 3:13 “You went forth for the salvation of Your people, for the salvation of Your anointed” the “anointed” (mashiach) is understood in its plain biblical sense… God’s appointed king or leader (and in some cases, Israel itself as God’s chosen), not a second divine person; (I am יהוה… My glory I will not give to another…) the verse is a poetic picture of God intervening in history to redeem Israel and defeat oppression. Put together, these passages point less to a necessity for a new kind of blood-atonement (especially not a human sacrifice) and more to a consistent biblical pattern… God provides commanded forms of worship and purification, but He alone saves, and He calls every person… Jew and non-Jew—to turn to Him in repentance, faithfulness, and justice. There is no need to add the words of an unreliable texts to fulfil or complete the Torah… יהוה considered everyone in His Torah and made a place for them with no need for an Shituf intermediary for salvation or to receive grace and mercy.

A. He wasn’t. That is just a myth.

How do I know it’s a myth?

I know it’s a myth because the man we’re talking about is Jesus of Nazareth, not Jesus of Bethlehem.

I know it’s a myth because the author of Matthew justifies his story by quoting many fake prophecies.

I know it’s a myth because the author of Luke says that Jesus was born in 6 or 7 AD, and we know that Jesus was at least ten years old by then.

I know it’s a myth because the story that a Galilean was obliged to register in Judea is a lie. And a very stupid lie at that. Made even more stupid by claiming that people had to register in the place where their great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather once lived!

I know it’s a myth because the notion that women were obliged to register ANYWHERE is also false.

I know it’s a myth because the authors of Matthew and Luke give us two completely different nativity stories and two completely different Jesus genealogies. (They contradict each other on many other items as well.)

Did I make my point?

why did you not start with the fact that the time of birth in Mathew and Luke is a 10 years difference at least.
Mathew speaks of the census of siranius which was about 6CE while Luke spoke about Herod still being alive, He died around 4BC.....

so Jesus was not born twice or was the story made up.
I have my own theory.

or what is the importance of the two contradictory geneologies In Mathew and Luke if Jesus is not related to Joseph by blood..



so many things that don't make sense...

it is both ignorance and arrogance to think that the earth is human centric, humans are not the only beings in these universe. there are other beings created by God who has achieved a higher consciousnesses than us. you have the greys(where that being belongs), the reptilians, etc.
we humans are on our journey to a higher consciousnesses, these more conscious beings has mastered the act of inter dimension. There are also the watchers, who God stationed here to watch us so we don't cause our own extinction. They can only intervene when they that we are a threat to ourselves....They warned the Americans after they dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.....
so drop the idea that humans are the only beings on this universe.
demons on the other hand are just our negative emotions, personified...like jealousy,envy, procrastination..etc. these are the demons.

Oladimmm:
The rise of the machines.

Exactly, they have been preparing our mind through Hollywood movies.....The rise of the machine is a movie in the terminator franchise..

mrkings84:
Till next 10 thousand years to come robots and AI can't replace humans. They can't do more than they are doing now.

AI and robotics are made and managed by man!!

they can be programmed to kill, they wont feel anything........remember

YOU ARE NOT THE BODY- YOU ARE THE ONE USING IT.

Look down at your body for a moment.
Really look.

Then ask yourself:
Why am I inside this?

If this is my body…
then who am I?

Who is the one thinking the thoughts in your mind?
Who is the silent observer behind your eyes?
Who is aware of the breath, the emotions, the sensations?

Somewhere along the way, we confused the vessel for the self.
We mistook the interface for the operator.
The technology for the intelligence.

Your body is a beautifully designed instrument — biological, electrical, intelligent.
But you are not the hardware.
You are the consciousness animating it.

Go inward.
Past the noise.
Past the labels.
Past the identity you were given.

There, you meet the inner being — the witness, the thinker, the creator.
This inner being is not bound by space.
Through imagination alone, it can be on the other side of the world in an instant.
It can revisit the past, envision the future, and create entire realities within.

Imagination is not fantasy — it is a function of consciousness.
A glimpse into your limitless nature.

When you begin to connect with this inner being, you start to remember its power.
You realize you are not small.
Not confined.
Not separate.

You are a spark of the infinite creative intelligence of the universe itself —
experiencing reality through a temporary form.

The moment you stop identifying only with the body
is the moment true awakening begins.

And when this realization settles in, something changes.
Life stops feeling like something that happens to you
and begins to feel like something that moves through you.

You start using the body instead of being ruled by it.
You listen to it, honor it, but no longer confuse it for your essence.

From this awareness, fear loosens its grip.
Because how can the infinite be threatened?
How can the observer be harmed by what it observes?

The body is your doorway into this world.
But consciousness is your true home.

Walk gently.
Think deliberately.
Create consciously.

You were never meant to forget yourself —
only to remember, slowly, deliberately, and fully.

7. The Principle of Gender

Quote: “Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; gender manifests on all planes.” — _The Kybalion_​

Explanation: The final Hermetic principle isn’t about physical gender the way we usually think (male/female bodies). Gender here means the presence of two fundamental energies or qualities: the masculine and the feminine. The Kybalion says “Gender is in everything” – in other words, everything contains two types of forces. One is active, assertive, giving (often labeled “masculine”); the other is receptive, nurturing, creative (labeled “feminine”). These terms don’t strictly mean man or woman – every person and every thing has both aspects in some way​.

Think of masculine energy as like the sun – shining out, providing, pushing forward. Think of feminine energy as like the soil or earth – receiving the seed, nourishing, and giving life form. We see masculine and feminine in nature (day and night, light and dark, active and passive forces). In ourselves, we might call them our left-brain (logical, assertive side) and right-brain (intuitive, creative side) qualities​

For creation to happen, both energies must work together. For example, to create a new idea, you might use a masculine quality of focused thought and a feminine quality of imagination. In a project team, someone’s visionary boldness (masculine trait) and someone else’s careful planning (feminine trait) together make success.

This principle also appears in many cultures as the idea of balance: Yin and Yang in Chinese philosophy, Shiva and Shakti in Hindu thought, etc., which all emphasize a harmony of two forces. The Kybalion insists that true creation and power come from the balance of masculine and feminine energies​

If one side is lacking, creation is harder. For instance, if someone is all action (masculine) with no receptivity or reflection (feminine), they may burn out or make rash decisions. If someone is all intuition and feeling (feminine) with no action (masculine), their dreams may never take shape. We need both.

In simple life terms, this principle encourages us to find balance within ourselves and in how we approach things. Embrace your active side and your reflective side. It’s not about gender in the social sense; it’s about two complementary energies in everything. The Kybalion even warns against misunderstandings of this concept — it’s not about physical sex or anything vulgar, but about creative forces in nature​

Harmony between these forces leads to wholeness. In short: everything has masculine and feminine qualities, and when those are balanced, it creates and sustains life.

Now that we’ve explained the seven Hermetic principles from The Kybalion, you might be wondering: How do I use these ideas in real life? Great question! Understanding is the first step; practice is the next. In the following section, we’ll look at practical ways to apply these principles to improve your mindset, relationships, and personal success.

6. The Principle of Cause and Effect

Quote: “Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law… nothing escapes the law.” — _The Kybalion_​

Explanation: This principle is like the law of karma or simply the law of action and reaction. It says nothing happens by chance. For everything that happens (an effect), there is a reason (a cause)​. Likewise, every action you take (cause) will have a result (effect). The Kybalion teaches that chance or luck isn’t truly random – it’s just causes we don’t recognize​. In other words, there are natural laws at work in every event, even if we don’t see them.

This is easy to see in the physical world: if you drop a ball, it falls because of gravity (cause → effect). If you eat healthy food and exercise (causes), you generally get healthier (effect). It’s also true in our personal lives and choices: If you study hard (cause), you get good grades (effect). If you are kind to others, you often get kindness back. On the flip side, if someone constantly does negative things, negative outcomes eventually result. It’s very much “you reap what you sow.” Cause and effect teaches personal responsibility – our choices shape our lives.

The Kybalion also invites us to go a step further: be a cause, not just an effect. Instead of just reacting to what happens (letting life happen to you), choose to act in ways that lead to the outcomes you want​

It asks: "Are you a cause or an effect?". For example, rather than feeling like it's bad luck that you are not learning something, take action (cause) to practice more or get a teacher, and then you'll see results (effect). When you realize that "nothing escapes the law" of cause and effect, you understand that you have the power to change your life by changing your actions.

However, this principle also teaches compassion: sometimes we see people in bad situations, and instead of just blaming them, we understand there are causes behind it (maybe things out of their control in the past). It encourages us to create positive causes now for better effects later. In short: everything happens for a reason, and with wise choices, you can be the reason for the positive things you want to experience.

5. The Principle of Rhythm

Quote: “Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; … rhythm compensates.” — _The Kybalion_​

Explanation: The principle of Rhythm tells us that life moves in cycles. Just like a pendulum swinging or the tides of the ocean coming in and out, everything has a natural back-and-forth rhythm​. Nothing stays at one extreme forever. There’s a constant flowing movement in everything: highs turn to lows, lows turn to highs, and this pattern repeats.

We can see this everywhere. Day turns into night, and night back into day. Seasons change from spring to summer to fall to winter, and then come back again. In our own lives, we have good times and bad times, energy and tiredness, inspiration and boredom – it’s always changing. This principle says that between every pair of opposites (the poles from Principle #4), there is a rhythm swinging like a pendulum​

When something goes far in one direction, it will swing back the other way by the same amount (_"the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left"_​).

Why does knowing this matter? Because if you understand rhythm, you can handle life’s ups and downs better. We learn that “nothing lasts forever” – if you’re in a tough time, know that things will swing up again​

And if you’re on a high, enjoy it, but don’t be surprised when a challenge comes – it’s part of the natural cycle. This isn’t meant to discourage you, but to help you stay balanced. The Kybalion even suggests that a wise person can “neutralize” some of the effects of rhythm​. For example, when you know a mood swing is just the pendulum of your emotions, you can step back and not be carried too far by it. You can “ride the waves” of rhythm instead of getting drowned by them.

Think of Rhythm as life’s heartbeat: it goes in and out, up and down, but it keeps moving forward. When you work with the rhythm instead of against it, life feels more harmonious. For instance, if you have low-energy days, maybe use them to rest, and know that your high-energy days will come back to get lots done. In short: life has a natural swing; if you understand it, you can maintain your balance and even use the cycles to your advantage.

4. The Principle of Polarity

Quote: “Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; … all paradoxes may be reconciled.” — _The Kybalion_​

Explanation: This principle teaches that everything has two opposite sides, yet those opposites are actually part of the same thing. Polarity means extremes of difference, like the North and South Poles on Earth. The Kybalion says “everything is dual” and _“opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree”_​. That sounds complicated, but it’s easier with examples:

Think of hot and cold. They seem totally opposite, right? But really, they are just two ends of the spectrum of temperature. Cold is just less heat, and hot is more heat – but both are about temperature. In fact, there’s no exact line where cold “switches” to hot; it’s a gradual change. That’s why The Kybalion says _“opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree”_​

The same goes for light and dark (both are about light; darkness is just less light), or loud and quiet (both are sound level), high and low, and so on​. Even concepts like love and hate are two sides of the same coin – both are emotions about someone or something, with dislike in the middle. In the book, the authors note you can even transform hate into love by changing its degree, like turning the dial on a thermometer.

So, the lesson of Polarity is about unity of opposites. Things that seem totally different may just be extremes of one thing. Understanding this helps us find balance. It also means we can change our state by recognizing the opposite state within it. For instance, if you’re feeling very sad (one pole), know that happiness (the opposite pole) is the same scale – you can gently shift toward it. This is sometimes called mental alchemy or mental transmutation – turning one state into its opposite, like turning “lead” into “gold” in your mood​.

In everyday life, this principle helps us see the bigger picture. If you have a problem, realize that within it is also a solution (opposite of problem). If you meet someone you consider an “enemy,” remember they have qualities similar to a friend, just at the opposite end. It encourages tolerance and understanding that paradox can be resolved – _“all paradoxes may be reconciled”_​

In short: everything has two sides, but the two sides are connected. By shifting perspective, you can change poles from negative to positive.

3. The Principle of Vibration

Quote: “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.” — _The Kybalion_​

Explanation: The third principle states that everything is in motion – nothing is completely still. To vibrate means to shake or move back and forth. According to The Kybalion, _everything in the universe is constantly vibrating_​. This might sound strange, but even modern science agrees that atoms and particles are always moving. Solid objects like a table seem still, but zoom in with a microscope and you’d see its atoms jittering. Even our planet is moving around the sun, and the sun is moving through space. Movement is everywhere.

This principle also applies to things we can’t see, like thoughts, feelings, and energy. The Kybalion says mental energy and spiritual energy have vibration too​

You might have heard someone talk about "good vibes" or "bad vibes." In simple words, vibration in Hermetic philosophy is similar to the idea of vibes or energy that we sense. When you're happy and loving, you tend to feel "high" and light – that's a high vibration state. When you're sad or angry, you might feel "low" or heavy – a lower vibration.

The key lesson is that by raising our vibration (through positive thoughts, feelings, or actions), we can improve our state of being. Since “everything vibrates”, things that are on a similar vibration tend to resonate with each other. This is why positivity can attract positive outcomes (often called “high vibes attract good things”). It also reminds us that we have the power to change our energy. We can do things like listening to uplifting music, meditating, or thinking happy thoughts to shift into a better vibration. Remember, nothing is truly stuck or solid – if it seems that way, it’s just vibrating slowly. Change the vibration, and you change the form or experience. In short: life is like a song, and you can change its tune by changing the vibration.

2. The Principle of Correspondence

Quote: “As above, so below; as below, so above.” — _The Kybalion_​

Explanation: This principle is often summed up by the famous line “As above, so below.” It’s a poetic way to say there is harmony and similarity between different levels of reality. The word Correspondence means that things that appear very different might actually follow the same patterns or laws.

In simple terms, the big reflects the small, and the small reflects the big. For example, think of the solar system with planets orbiting the sun, and then think of an atom with electrons orbiting a nucleus – the patterns are similar! That’s “as above, so below” in action. It suggests that the universe is consistent and mirrored. What happens on one level (like the “above,” meaning something big or spiritual) can repeat on another level (the “below,” meaning something small or physical)​

How does this affect us? It means our outer world reflects our inner world, and vice versa. If you are peaceful and orderly inside (in your thoughts and feelings), your surroundings and life might become more peaceful and orderly too. It also means that by studying one thing, you can learn about another. The Kybalion says this principle helps us solve mysteries: knowing the patterns in one area of life can give clues about another area​

For instance, understanding yourself can help you understand the universe, because the same truths apply on both levels. This idea connects to many spiritual teachings that say we are a microcosm (small universe) reflecting the macrocosm (big universe). In short: everything is connected, and patterns repeat across the cosmic scale.

1. The Principle of Mentalism

Quote: “The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.” — _The Kybalion_​

Explanation: This is the first and most important Hermetic principle. Mentalism means that everything is mental. In other words, everything we see and experience is like a creation of the mind. The quote says “The All is Mind.” Here, “The All” means the ultimate reality, everything that exists. It’s saying that the entire universe is kind of like a thought in a huge cosmic mind. Another way to think of it: reality is shaped by consciousness​.

What does this mean in simple terms? It means mind comes first. Before anything can exist physically, it first exists as an idea or thought. For example, the device you’re reading this on began as an idea in someone’s mind. Even your day begins with thoughts and mental images of what you will do. The Kybalion teaches that since everything is a product of mind, when we change our thoughts, we can change our reality. If the universe is like a giant mind, our own minds are powerful tools in shaping our life. This principle encourages us to take care of our thoughts because “using your thoughts to shape your reality” is possible​

It's the foundation for concepts like manifestation and positive thinking. In short: mind is the starting point of everything. If you master your mind, you master your life.

Introduction

What if the universe follows seven secret rules? The Kybalion is a famous book that reveals seven Hermetic principles – basic laws said to govern reality​

First published in 1908 by a mysterious group called the "Three Initiates," this book claims to share ancient wisdom from Hermes Trismegistus (a legendary sage from Egypt and Greece)​. In plain language, The Kybalion teaches Hermetic philosophy, an old spiritual philosophy about how the universe works. These teachings were kept secret (or "esoteric" for a long time, but they still matter today. In fact, The Kybalion has been very influential in modern spiritual and New Age circles​. People study it to understand ideas like the law of attraction and mental power, hoping to improve their lives.

In this guide, we will explain The Kybalion's seven principles in easy-to-understand terms. You'll see key quotes (the exact words from The Kybalion) for each principle and learn what they mean. More importantly, we'll explore how these principles can be used in real life – to improve your mindset, relationships, and success. We'll also dive into some mystical insights, showing how these Hermetic laws connect to universal wisdom found in many cultures. By the end, you'll have a clear understanding of this mystical yet practical philosophy.

Let’s unlock the secrets of The Kybalion together. Remember, as the book itself says: “The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these…possesses the Magic Key” that opens many doors​

Ready to find the magic key? Let’s begin with the seven Hermetic principles.
The Seven Hermetic Principles

The Kybalion teaches that there are seven fundamental principles that govern everything in the universe​

Think of them as seven big ideas or laws. According to the book, knowing these principles helps you understand how the world works on a deeper level. Here is each Hermetic principle one by one, with a simple explanation and a key quote from The Kybalion:

Theawakensoul:
Brother, I hear you, but you jumped into a different subject entirely.
I was speaking about linguistics and consciousness, not the origin of world religions.
Let me respond with clarity.

1️⃣ Similarities between ancient myths do not erase the existence of Yeshua
Humanity has always expressed spiritual truth through shared archetypes:
rebirth
divine teacher
light vs darkness
salvation
inner transformation

That is why you find echoes in Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, and Christian texts.
Patterns don’t cancel history, they simply show that consciousness speaks through many cultures.


2️⃣ Your timeline has gaps
You mentioned:
Sumerian myth (3000 BC)
Greek philosophy (500 BC)
Serapis cult (250 BC)
Council of Chalcedon (451 AD)

These events are thousands of years apart.
The gospels already circulated long before Chalcedon.
Serapis was never accepted by Jews.
And Christianity did not come from the Inanna cult, that is a modern oversimplification.

Let’s be accurate when we talk history.


3️⃣ My point was simple: “Yeshua” carries the original context
I wasn’t debating whether Christianity borrowed motifs from earlier cultures.
I was explaining that:
“Yeshua” connects to Hebrew language, Hebrew consciousness, Hebrew worldview
“Jesus” today carries layers of doctrines, politics, and colonial interpretations

I am pointing people back to the source, not arguing about pagan parallels.


4️⃣ The real discussion is not mythology, it is awareness
Whether one approaches through Judaism, Christianity, ancient myth, or mysticism, the message remains:
awaken your consciousness
know the Source within
go beyond fear-based religion
understand truth beyond cultural layers

This is what Yeshua taught, and that truth cannot be erased by comparing myths.

Peace, brother.
I’m not here for argument, only clarity and awakening.

TheAwakenSoul

I was going to come to this.

Like you rightly said, it is about awareness and consciousness, which I 100 % agree .my point is that yeshua is not a historical figure, that is my own point.
God is the universal consciousness, not a man. That is why when the Jews look at Christianity and they see idolatry. That is what I see too. Hashem warned about making the image or likeness of anything in heaven, on earth or under the earth, he forbad us from bowing down to it or worshipping it. So when the Romans created a god in the image of a man, you have to step back, except Jesus is a metaphor. Metaphor for what?
Every other thing you said is ok by me.

Nibiru is not a planet
it is Marduk.

he is the lugal dimmer ankia.(divine king of heaven and earth).

Theawakensoul:
The Real Name of Jesus

Most of the world knows him as Jesus, but this is actually a corrupted name.


1. His Original Name

He was a Jewish man, born in Galilee, speaking Aramaic and Hebrew.

His real name was:

“Yeshua” (יֵשׁוּעַ)

Meaning in Hebrew:
✨ “Yahweh is salvation”
✨ “God saves”
✨ “The one who brings deliverance”

This name is a truthful reflection of who he was, not a later invention.



2. How “Yeshua” Became “Jesus”

The Bible was translated from Hebrew/Aramaic then Greek then Latin then English.

Yeshua turned to Iēsous (Greek) then to Iesus (Latin) then Jesus (English)

Each step distorted the original sound and meaning slightly.

Today, people worship “Jesus”, often not knowing the name’s origin or vibration.



3. Why This Matters

Names carry energy, identity, and power.

“Jesus” is a label; “Yeshua” carries the original frequency of awakening, salvation, and truth.

Calling him Yeshua connects you to the authentic teacher, not the church-controlled figure.



4. What Yeshua Taught

Yeshua taught:

Awakening the soul

Consciousness expansion

Inner Kingdom (not a religious kingdom)

Love as the highest law

Freedom from fear and ego


His teachings are unchanged, but using his “real name” helps you access the truth directly, without layers of manipulation.




5. Awakened Soul Insight

Calling him Yeshua is an act of truth and connection.
It is no longer about doctrine or religion.
It is about awakening to the consciousness he embodied.

The gospel stories came from the different stories of the ancient gods and demi gods. But the bulk of the story is from the ancient tales about Marduk.
Marduk was never on earth as a man.
There are stories about Dimuzi, Inanna, Ninghiszida, etc.
He was never an actual historical figure. Most of the idea are Greek /Roman philosophy.
They are not consistent with the Torah or Tanakh and by extension Judaism.

Christianity arose from the cult of Inanna and serapis. Which became Mary and Jesus at the council of Chalcedon. The Gospels were then forged to reflect this reality

Truthseeker10:
So God was wrong when he said that Adam was dust?

Are the structures in the picture that you posted the same as the body of a dead person?

You answer your question. You said man is dust, and I showed you " for thou art dust" you they ask me back.
