"The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals—a vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like wealth, is intended for Use. The Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by reason of his conflict with natural forces."
—The Kybalion.

As immersive and insightful as the first read.
Profound and thought provoking: This is a piece of the wisdom of the Ancients that transcends Spacetime, the Cosmos and the Infinite Multiverse while also tearing away the veils that lie between the Metaphysical, the Supernatural, the Exoteric, Esoteric and Ephemeral philosophical concepts.
Here are some of the excerpts termed Principles within which Hermes, the Thrice Greatest, the Great Great, endeavored in saving through the ages from the dawn of the human race...
The absolute highest of my recommendation for all occult and esoteric readers. This is the hard meat for Mankind while the milk has been given to the Babes amongst us;

The Lips of Wisdom are Sealed Except to the Ears of UnderstandingIt's so slim and packed with insight and wisdom it's simply a crime not to read this...And, in the degree that Man realizes the existence of the Indwelling Spirit immanent within his being, so will he rise in the spiritual scale of life. This is what spiritual development means—the recognition, realization, and manifestation of the Spirit within us. Try to remember this last definition—that of spiritual development. It contains the Truth of True Religion.

THE ALL is MIND; The Universe is Mental � The Kybalion.Reading it is akin to having the readers' nictating membrane sliding off to reveal hidden wonders never before imagined possible to conceive of or even perceive; and then combining these insights into an undeniable whole that seems like the rantings of an insane sage and mystic from times bygone.
"Nothing escapes the Principle of Cause and Effect, but there are many Planes of Causation, and one may use the laws of the higher to overcome the laws of the lower."
"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."
"To change your mood or mental state change your vibration. One may change his mental vibrations by an effort of Will, in the direction of deliberately fixing the Attention upon a more desirable state. Will directs the Attention, and Attention changes the Vibration. Cultivate the Art of Attention, by means of the Will, and you have solved the secret of the Mastery of Moods and Mental States."

To destroy an undesirable rate of mental vibration, put into operation the principle of Polarity and concentrate upon the opposite pole to that which you desire to suppress. Kill out the undesirable by changing its polarity.—The Kybalion.
The absolute highest of my recommendation for all occult and esoteric readers. This is the hard meat for Mankind while the milk has been given to the Babes amongst us;

Yes, indeed. It's amazing how so slight a change in perception is like a veil being lifted off of your eyes or a nictatin membrane sliding off and then all you see, hear, touch, taste or think is altered forever.

@FlowerAbsolutely...when I was reading it for the first time it felt like the author was trying to express concepts I somehow knew but hadn't pieced it together in a unifying whole.
I mean the aspects where the philosophy crosses with the latest research in Cosmology, Superstrings and M-Theory and lots of recent advances of which I'm passively familiar with. I give my highest recommendations. It's the best book I've read to date.
The Lips of Wisdom are Sealed Except to the Ears of Understanding.
