Internet Sacred Text Archive Home Kybalion Modern Hermetic tract The Kybalion (full title: The Kybalion: A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece) is a book originally published in 1908 by "Three Initiates" (often identified as the New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson, 1862–1932)[1] that purports to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. Seven Hermetic principles[edit] A central concept in the book is that there are "seven Hermetic principles, upon which the entire Hermetic philosophy is based".[4] These are, as literally quoted from the book: 1. "The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental 2. 3. "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates 4. "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled 5. 6. 7.

'Ancient Hebrew inscriptions' baffle Israeli archaeologists - via Eagle Averro - Newsvine 'Ancient Hebrew inscriptions' baffle Israeli archaeologists The inscriptions include palm trees and a boat Israeli archaeologists say they are trying to decode ancient inscriptions written in Hebrew script discovered at a dig in Jerusalem. The writing was found on the walls of a room containing the remains of a Jewish ritual bath, or mikveh, believed to be about 2,000 years old. Experts are now trying to decipher words and symbols including a boat and palm trees. They say the markings may be graffiti or have some religious significance. One of the symbols could be a menorah - the seven-branched candelabrum which stood in the two Biblical Jewish Temples in Jerusalem - and some of the inscriptions might indicate names, according to the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). The find was made when antiquity officials inspected the site slated for a nursery in the Arnona district. The paintings and inscriptions have now been removed from the mikveh and transferred to conservation laboratories.
Book Books Books may also refer to works of literature, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature. A shop where books are bought and sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Etymology The word comes from Old English "bōc" which (itself) comes from the Germanic root "*bōk-", cognate to beech.[2] Similarly, in Slavic languages (for example, Russian, Bulgarian, Macedonian) "буква" (bukva—"letter") is cognate with "beech". History of books Antiquity When writing systems were invented/created in ancient civilizations, nearly everything that could be written upon—stone, clay, tree bark, metal sheets—was used for writing.The study of such inscriptions forms a major part of history.
