"While All is in THE ALL, it is equally true that THE ALL is in ALL. To him who truly understands this truth hath come great knowledge."—The Kybalion.

 

How often have the majority of people heard repeated the statement that their Deity¹ (called by many names) was "All in All" and how little have they suspected the inner occult truth concealed² by these carelessly uttered words? The commonly used expression is a survival of the ancient Hermetic Maxim³ quoted above. As the Kybalion says: "To him who truly understands this truth, hath come great knowledge." And, this being so, let us seek this truth, the understanding of which means so much. In this statement of truth—this Hermetic Maxim—is concealed one of the greatest philosophical⁴, scientific and religious truths.

 

We have given you the Hermetic Teaching regarding the Mental Nature of the Universe—the truth that "the Universe is Mental—held in the Mind of THE ALL."

This apparently⁵ contradictory⁶ statement is reconcilable under the Law of Paradox⁷. It is, moreover, an exact Hermetic statement of the relations existing between THE ALL and its Mental Universe.
