The Theory of
Everything which all scientists of the world are looking for has already been
existing in ancient times. It is found in what is known as Hermeticism.
At the core is
the Seven Hermetic Principles of Hermes Trismegistus (Thrice Greatest). The
seven principles explain the nature of all reality in the most perfect,
complete and concise statements.
The Seven Hermetic Principles and the Hermetic Philosophy
are now contained in the Kybalion written by Three Initiates.
The Seven
Principles together form the Master Key that unlocks all the doors of the
Temple of Knowledge. It is the Light of Understanding
that illuminates all the pathways of knowledge.
It is the highest
Source Knowledge above all other source knowledge. It is the ultimate core of
all cores. It contains The Principles of all principles.
THE
SEVEN HERMETIC PRINCIPLES
The principles of
truth are seven; the seven hermetic principles, upon which the entire Hermetic
philosophy is based, are as follows:
1.
The Principle of mentalism:
“The All is mind, the Universe is mental.”
2.
The Principle of correspondence: “As above, so below; as below, so above.”
3.
The principle of vibration:
“Nothing rests, everything moves; everything vibrates.”
4.
The principal of polarity:
“Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of
opposites; like and unlike are all the same; opposites are identical in nature,
but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all
paradoxes may be reconciled.”
5.
The principle of rhythm:
“Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and
fall; the pendulum swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to
the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.”
6.
The principle of cause and effect: “Every cause has its effect; every effect has
its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law
not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the
law.”
7.
The principal of Gender:
“Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principle;
Gender manifests on all planes.”
There is no
portion of the occult teachings possessed by the world which have been so
closely guarded as the fragments of the Hermetic Teachings which have come down
to us over the tens of centuries which have elapsed since the lifetime of its
great founder, Hermes Trismegistus.
The term occult simply means hidden or concealed. The reason
why it is hidden or not easily revealed is because it is the most powerful kind
of knowledge in the universe. The lips of wisdom are closed except to the ears
of understanding. A prudent man conceals knowledge. It is revealed only to
those who are ready for such power.
The principles of
the occult are usually hidden from view in plain sight. They are there for everyone to notice and realize in the workings of
nature, life and the universe.
But most people
having eyes yet unseeing and having ears yet unhearing. They perceive not,
neither do they understand because they do not have clarity of discernment.
Secret
Knowledge is the most powerful kind of knowledge. It is about knowing how things work and
understanding what’s going on.
