Short biography
Yogi Ramacharaka was one of the pseudonyms of occult writer William Walker Atkinson. Ramachakara's publisher asserts that Ramacharaka was born in 1799, and that one of his students, Baba Bharata, collaborated with Atkinson, attributing their work to Ramacharaka. However, there is no evidence that Bharata or Ramacharaka existed.

Si ta përdorim mendjen është një libër ku autori ia ka dalë mbanë me sukses të plotë, të ndërthurë shkencoren me praktiken, anën thelbësisht mendore, me gjasat e shkëlqyera për t'in zbatuar në jetën e përditshme këshillate ofruara bujarisht prej tij, duke na e shpjeguar sakaq funskionimin e mendjes tonë në çdo tipar dhe veprim të saj hollësisht, me një gjuhë tejet të kuptueshme, ndonëse gjithmonë brenda suazave të saktësisë shkencore.

Kushdo që ka për ta show more lexuar këtë libër largpames, do të bindet vetvetiu për vërtetësinë e dëshmuar burimore të besimit të patundur që e pati shtyrë Willaim Walker Atkinson, ndër udhëheqësit e lëvizjes së njohur të "New Thought", ose në shqip "Mendimit të Ri", ta shkruante këtë libër më shumë se një shekull më parë (ngase ky liber vijon t'i bëjë ballë kohë qysh nga botimi tij fillestar, në vitin e largët 1911).

Atkinson ishte thellësisht bindur në fuqinë e mendjes së njeriut, dhe nëqoftëse edhe ne arrijmë të kthjellohemi për këtë gjë, edhe falë shfletimit, leximit të vëmendshëm, dhe nxjerrjes së përfundimeve të duhura e të vyera nga ky libër shkruar mjeshtërisht prej tij, atëherë do të dimë t'i zbulojmë gjithë zotesite, aftësitë dhe dhuntitë tona mendore, psikologjike, arsyetuese zhvillimore, që do të na shpien shumë më larg në jetë, seç mund të kishim pandehur gjer më sot.

"Our business in the Universe is...to LIVE, using the Laws to rise from lower to higher—living on, doing the best that we can under the circumstances arising each day, and living, so far as is possible, to our biggest ideas and ideals."

This book was recommended to me by someone I love and respect so it was a must read. The rating I gave it is not a reflection of the quality of the writing itself, which is definitely not outstanding, but rather the impact it has had, and will continue to show more have, on me for the remainder of my life.

Before reading The Kybalion, I had seen the word "Hermetic,” but it held no meaning for me other than somehow being related to the Greek God Hermes.

Now I know better. "Hermeticism" or "Hermetism" is a combination of religion and philosophy. It is not affiliated with Hermes the God, but after a pagan man named Hermes Trismegistus (who the God was named after). Pre-dating Christianity, it teaches that there is a single true God in which everything in the Universe, including humans, participate and that exists in all religions.

An overview of Hermeticism, which including its seven principles, is given by the three anonymous Hermetic initiates who wrote this book in 1912. It was just enough to get a taste of what one could spend a lifetime studying and aspiring to.

Not only did this book personally validate some of my own unique belief system, but it has motivated me to do more and be more. I especially loved the Principle of Polarity and the Principle of Cause and Effect. I look forward to reading more about this mysterious and fascinating topic!

Really high-level intro to the Seven Hermetic Principles. I'll definitely need to spend some more time with this. It was interesting noting the direct tie-in to coaching; you get what you look for. Or more correctly, you create by using mental energy.
While the style of the book may be off-putting to some, the concepts are intriguing and refreshing. I wish I knew where to go as a next step in learning more!
