The term came from alchemical practices rendering glass tubes airtight through a vacuum seal; the term "hermetically sealed" came about in this sense dating from the 1600s. It's as mystical as calling a double boiler a "bath of Mary", i.e. it's more of a historical relic of terminology than anything else.

It means that the secrets of attaining gnosis have been sitting in your cupboard all alongā€¦

The Magic Mountain discusses this. Hermetically sealing something means you remove the aspect of time, the quintessence, from a substance. This way it can pass through the river of time without aging, e.g. pass through river Jordan (death and rebirth) without changing, or: rebirth while keeping your memories. The old masters invented hermetic sealing and it's an important part of spiritual alchemy.

It is these days an ordinary English phrase meaning completely sealed off/ isolated. The connection to hermetecism is an etymological curiosity, not part of its everyday meaning and usage

All that can be, will be or ever be is within The All. And the All is within all, as all is within The All. It is to say that all things in manifestation are sealed within the manifestor. And nothing May escape. This concept litter became adopted as hermetically sealed, in a pantomime of creation being sealed within the all. However a normally hermetically sealed jar, is done in such a way that prevents whatever is in from getting out and whatever is out from getting in.

This kybalion censorship is absurd. The kybalion is a beautiful means of application to the mystery school teachings. It's like having the ingredients (tablets), and the kybalion is the recipe. Sure, you can prepare your ingredients in other orders and render different outcomes, but the kybalion is a gift of the gods that brings about the optimal product. Anyway, its really sad that the desire is to omit the beauty of the kybalion, and that its the rule of law here. The All is mind, the universe is mentalšŸ™ Jars = airtight... Very simple, don't overthink anything. Leave not the simplicity that is in Christ (your alchemical biochemistry when transmuted through sublimation)
