I read the corpus hermeticum and was going to read kybalion. Not worthy it then? I mean, wasn't it supposed to be somewhat similar? after all isn't its point presenting the philosophy and teachings of trismegistus?

I've never read it but from what I've heard the kybalion is just a dumbed-down version of the hermetica
