INTRODUCTION "O, let not the flame die out! Cherished age after age in its dark cavern-in its holy temples cherished. Fed by pure ministers of love-let not the flame die out!" In this little work we have endeavored to give you an idea of the fundamental teachings of The Kybalion, striving to give you the working Principles, leaving you to apply them yourselves, rather than attempting to work out the teaching in detail. If you are a true student, you will be able to work out and apply these Principles-if not, then you must develop yourself into one, for otherwise the Hermetic Teachings will be as "words, words, words" to you. - THE THREE INITIATES.
