The wait has been long, but we are back with our 12th installment of the Dover Masonic Podcast! In this episode we delve into the fourth great hermetic principle, Polarity. In this 10th chapter of The Kybalion, we learn that opposites are not different, but rather the same and only vary in degree along a scale. This chapter serves as the basis for the remainder of this great esoteric work. Enjoy!

Please note: we hope you will forgive the audio quality of the vocal portion of the recording. This episode was recorded in a different space, and therefore differs from prior episodes. We hope however that this will not distract the listener from the mood and content!

As also mentioned in today’s podcast, download and read Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton’s “Zanoni” here. This excellent book will likely be a future reading on the Dover Lodge Masonic Podcast. From Wikipedia,here is a brief description of the book:

This piece of literature describes a fascinating story of love and occult aspiration. The plot is as follows: Zanoni, timeless Rosicrucian brother, falls in love with Viola Pisani, promising young and beautiful singer, daughter of Pisani, misunderstood violinist in Italy. Glyndon, English gentleman loves Viola as well but his spiritual growth sees Zanoni as a master. The story develops in the days of the French Revolution in 1789.

Chapter 3 of The Kybalion is presented in this fifth Dover Masonic Lodge podcast. A relatively short chapter, the topic of “Mental Transmutation” is presented. This highly controversial esoteric teaching makes the bold claim that much of modern science comes to us thanks to the alchemists of times past.

Give it a listen, and let us know what you think by leaving a comment!
