This film is an adaptation of the 1908 occult manuscript The Kybalion, and explores the seven principles of Hermetics. It is a surreal documentation of the supernatural world around us.

Q&A with writer Mitch Horowitz and director Ronni Thomas will follow after the film.

The Kybalion is not Freemasonry, but Hermetic thought is evident in the rituals of the lodge. I recommend The Kybalion text published a few years ago and edited by Horowitz.

     

‘Kybalion movie is coming’

     

“The universe is mental.”


It is said to be in post-production, but they’ll still be filming next week in New York City, according to a tweet from Mitch Horowitz about an hour ago.

The “it” is The Kybalion, a film based on the text of Hermetic principles written a little more than a century ago. “It is a surreal documentation of the supernatural world around us,” says the plot summary.

In addition to Horowitz, the cast of interviewees includes Brian Cotnoir and Raymond Moody. The director is Ronni Thomas.

From the publicity:

What if there was great wisdom and boundless power available to us, but hidden in plain sight? The Kybalion is a documentary film adaptation of the widely popular but underground occult text of the same name, which explores the “Seven Principles” that govern the universe. Occult historian Mitch Horowitz takes us on a metaphysical journey of how we can apply these principles and unravel their mystery. Mitch argues that the ancient philosophy of the occult may hold exactly the keys modern people are seeking to a universalistic faith of inner development, karmic values, and personal power. Along the way we meet alchemists, artists, mediums, and scientists working within the parameters of these principles. The film, presented as a dark and mysterious enigma, sheds new light on ancient wisdom and gives viewers who wish to expand their consciousness valuable tools to do so. Director Ronni Thomas makes the film an otherworldly and cinematic journey spanning the monuments of ancient Egypt to a surreal and uncanny other world.
