The Kybalion, Chapter 6 summary
Chapter 6 of 15 · 12 min to read the chapter
In Chapter 6, the teaching explains that the Universe is unreal compared with THE ALL but real to the finite beings who inhabit it. This distinction makes practical action essential: students must respect natural laws and use higher forces to overcome lower ones, rather than dismiss life as a dream.
What happens
- The opening warning contrasts foolish denial of natural laws with wise use of higher forces to transform undesirable conditions.
- The teaching distinguishes the Absolute viewpoint of THE ALL from the Relative viewpoint of finite beings.
- Examples involving matter, a kicked stone, and artistic creation explain why mental existence does not cancel experienced reality.
- The argument insists that all beings remain subject to Law, however great their powers.
- The teaching presents Herbert Spencer’s philosophy and scientific explanations as compatible with Mentalism, provided their underlying reality is understood as Mind.
- The conclusion urges students to apply mental laws, meet daily demands, and pursue their highest ideals.
