"THAT which is the Fundamental Truth--the Substantial
Reality--is beyond true naming, but the Wise Men call
it THE ALL."--The Kybalion.
All thinkers, in all lands and in all times, have assumed the necessity for postulating the existence of this Substantial Reality.
All philosophies worthy of the name have been based upon this thought. Men have given to this Substantial Reality (THE ALL) many names
-some have called it by the term of Deity (under many titles). Others have called it "The Infinite and Eternal Energy"
others have tried to call it "Matter"--but all have acknowledged its existence. It is self-evident it needs no argument.
The Hermetists believe and teach that THE ALL, "in itself," is and must ever be UNKNOWABLE.
"In its Essence, THE ALL is UNKNOWABLE."--The Kybalion.
And still more presumptuous are those who attempt to ascribe to THE ALL the personality, qualities, properties,
characteristics and attributes of themselves, ascribing to THE ALL the human emotions, feelings, and characteristics,
even down to the pettiest qualities of mankind, such as jealousy, susceptibility to flattery and praise, desire for offerings and worship,
and all the other survivals from the days of the childhood of the race. Such ideas are not worthy of grown men and women,
and are rapidly being discarded.
But while the essential nature of THE ALL is Unknowable, there are certain truths connected with its existence which the human mind finds
itself compelled to accept. and that without attempting to remove the veil of the Unknowable:
(1) THE ALL must be ALL that REALLY IS. There can be
nothing existing outside of THE ALL, else THE ALL would
not be THE ALL.
(2) THE ALL must be INFINITE, for there is nothing else
to define, confine, bound, limit; or restrict THE ALL.
It must be Infinite in Time, or ETERNAL,--it must have
always continuously existed, for there is nothing else to
have ever created it, and something can never evolve from
nothing, and if it had ever "not been," even for a moment,
it would not "be" now,--it must continuously exist forever,
for there is nothing to destroy it, and it can never
"not-be," even for a moment, because something can never
become nothing. It must be Infinite in Space--it must be
Everywhere, for there is no place outside of THE ALL--it
cannot be otherwise than continuous in Space, without break,
cessation, separation, or interruption, for there is nothing
to break, separate, or interrupt its continuity, and nothing
with which to "fill in the gaps." It must be Infinite in
Power, or Absolute, for there is nothing to limit, restrict,
restrain, confine, disturb or condition it--it is subject to
no other Power, for there is no other Power.
(3) THE ALL must be IMMUTABLE, or not subject to change in
its real nature, for there is nothing to work changes upon it
nothing into which it could change, nor from which it could
have changed. It cannot be added to nor subtracted from;
increased nor diminished; nor become greater or lesser in any
respect whatsoever. It must have always been, and must always
remain, just what it is now--THE ALL--there has never been,
is not now, and never will be, anything else into which it
can change.
The ALL IS THE ONE TRUE GOD wich there is nothing but The ALL, nothing trully exist but THE ALL ...confused ...good, do not worry.
THE ALL being Infinite, Absolute, Eternal and Unchangeable it must follow that anything finite, changeable, fleeting,
and conditioned cannot be THE ALL. And as there is Nothing outside of THE ALL, in Reality,
then any and all such finite things must be as Nothing in Reality.
Now do not become befogged, nor frightened--
There is a Reconciliation of this apparently contradictory state of affairs.
Be patient, we will reach it in time.

now you understand that there is only one true god wich we call THE ALL it is not just the god of christians or of muslims or jews or any other religion in this world THE ALL is the only thing that worth worship in this universe.
please when I say that god is everything I do not mean That god is a tree or a stone or matter generally or energy OR EVEN YOU as some fools in the history said that they are GOD (Mansur al-Hallaj as an exemple we will discuss this person and others like him in time) The all is not these things ...confused again ..well good I will give next the key to understand.
aaand we said that there is nothing inside or outside the all because the all is everything and if there is something inside or outside the all will not be the all ....then were do we live...think about this question carefully .
do not worry the answer will came in time.
