The Principle of Mentalism

“The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.”The Kybalion

This Hermetic principle is simple and yet it’s the foundation upon which all true magick and manifestation is built. Today, I want to break down the Principle of Mentalism, because if you truly grasp this one law, everything changes.

What Is the Principle of Mentalism?

At its core, the Principle of Mentalism tells us that everything begins in the mind. Not just thoughts, but reality itself. Consciousness is the source and everything you experience every emotion, object, encounter, or event is filtered through the lens of your awareness.

Your thoughts, beliefs, and dominant mental states shape what you attract, what you repel, and how you perceive meaning.

Mentalism isn’t just a metaphysical concept, this is how life operates. You can either run it on default... or reprogram it intentionally. Here’s the good news: if all is mind, then all is accessible. You just need to know how to direct your mental energy with precision.

Mentalism means your reality mirrors your mind. So… what’s your mind focused on?

Each morning, I ask myself: What’s the dominant "movie" in my mind today?

Just like we physically cleanse after a long day, cleanse your thoughts too. If you’ve been arguing or playing thoughts in your mind that don't serve you, clear them practice thought control, ground yourself or you can just visualize golden light clearing mental clutter.

A clean mind is a clear channel.

If you believe you’re unlucky, you act like someone who expects failure. If you believe you’re supported by the universe, you act like someone who takes brave steps. See the pattern?

Were you focused and emotionally connected, or scattered and doubtful? The mind always shows you the results of how you feel and think inside on the outside.

Because what you PICTURE in your mind on a day-to-day basis is meant to manifest in the physical world.

The Principle of Mentalism is a reminder that you are never powerless.You might be tired or overwhelmed, but your mind is still the throne from which your life is ruled.

Magick begins the moment you decide to think differently. So today, enchant your own mind, speak to yourself like a beloved, see yourself succeeding instead of failing. And treat your thoughts like they matter... because they do.

Everything else will follow.
