Ickonic Classified s01e26 Ronni Thomas The Kybalion: The Reality in Fiction

Film director Ronni Thomas joins us to discuss his film The Kybalion which is based on a book once surrounded in mystery. The Kybalion covers the 7 Hermetic Principles; these principles are said to be a way of understanding this reality with ideas such as polarities and mentalism.

The book itself was written by a Lawyer in 1908 under the pseudonym 'The Three Initiates' and said to be the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. Hermes Trismegistus is a character surrounded in mystery and closely followed by at least the lower levels of the Freemasons. We ask whether it matters that this book was actually a work of fiction, and whether that takes away from the teachings it offers.
