The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding.
BYJECS is streetwear built on the seven Hermetic principles written down in the Kybalion (1908). Every piece is made to be read twice: once with the eyes, once with the mind.
O, let not the Flame die out!
Cherished age after age in its dark cavern — in its holy temples cherished. Fed by pure ministers of love — let not the Flame die out!
Knowledge has always been guarded by a few: kept in caves and temples, passed from hand to hand, given as milk to those who are not ready and as strong meat to those who are. UNFADED is about that flame and the people who tend it — the Flamekeeper, the Vestal, the Sibyl, the Acolyte — and about the five steps written under the artwork: question, understand, perspectives, analyze, evolve.
Shop UNFADEDMentalism
“The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.”
Everything begins as thought. What you hold in the mind shapes what you build in the world.
Correspondence
“As above, so below; as below, so above.”
The same patterns repeat on every plane — in the stars, in the city, in you. Understand one and you begin to read the others.
Vibration
“Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”
Matter, energy and mind differ only in their rate of vibration. Change the frequency, change the state.
Polarity
“Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites.”
Hot and cold, love and hate: the same thing in different degrees. Extremes meet, and every paradox can be reconciled.
Rhythm
“Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides.”
All things rise and fall. The pendulum swings as far to the left as to the right — learn to ride the swing instead of being thrown by it.
Cause & Effect
“Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause.”
Chance is only a name for a law not yet recognized. Be a cause, not an effect.
Gender
“Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles.”
Creation needs both: the force that projects and the force that receives. Balance them, on every plane.
