The Kybalion, Chapter 5 summary
Chapter 5 of 15 · 8 min to read the chapter
In Chapter 5, the teaching explains the Universe as a mental creation of THE ALL, using human imagination to reject creation from outside materials or divided substance. It then describes masculine and feminine aspects of creation and presents spiritual growth, death, and belonging within an infinite parental mind.
What happens
- Spirit means an infinite living mind, although the teaching says its full nature exceeds human understanding.
- The argument rejects both outside materials and divided divine substance as explanations for the Universe.
- Human mental creation supplies an analogy for how THE ALL creates without losing substance or using external materials.
- The teaching distinguishes creative gender from bodily sex and describes masculine will directing feminine activity.
- The closing teaching describes higher beings, death as renewed life, and human safety within a universal parental mind.
