Ken McHardie
Ex-programmer. Overland traveller. Chronicler of the mental universe.
Ken's life bridges the logical and the mystical. After a decade as a computer programmer, he left the corporate world at 28 to travel overland across thirteen African countries, staying with Mbuti rainforest communities and reaching the Rwandan border as the 1994 genocide unfolded.
A Kundalini awakening followed eighteen months of daily meditation. In 2012 he travelled to the Amazon to work with Shipibo shamans, beginning a seven-year odyssey of experiential research, and fourteen years of study across neuroscience, quantum physics and epigenetics.
Twenty-five years as a technical writer taught him one thing above all: how to make the complex clear. The Kybalion Unlocked is that skill turned on the oldest master key we have.
Why this book
For over a century the Kybalion has been, in Ken's words, "a master key without instructions." It promised mastery of the mind and never showed how. The Kybalion Unlocked keeps every word of the 1908 text and adds a plain-English Unlocked chapter after each one, connecting each Hermetic idea to modern science and drawing the connection in 350+ illustrations.
