“As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…”

“As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…”  Hermes Trismegistus

This principle, which pervades all things, is perfectly exemplified in the video above where world famous scientist Neil DeGrasse Tyson answers the question of “what is the most astounding fact about the universe?” It is a fascinating example of Hermetic law.

The Seven Principles taught by Hermes Trismegistus
These are the seven principles taught by Hermes Trismegistus, also known as Hermes, the Greek God of travelers/thieves/commerce and the messenger of the Gods. He was also known as the great priest Thoth to the Egyptians.
“….it is understood that these ideas where passed from Master to Initiate for generations, for the purpose of personal growth and with the intention of achieving a greater and deeper understanding of the self, the world and beyond. For the student of religion, philosophy and science, the Hermetic teachings act as the key to tying all of the different schools of thought into one cohesive body of knowledge.”
The Seven Principles of the Universe:
1. Principle of Mentalism: “All is Mind”
2. Principle of Correspondence: “As is above, so is below.  As is below, so is above.”
3. Principle of Vibration: “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”
4. Principle of Polarity: “Everything is dual; everything has an opposite, and opposites are identical in nature but different in degree.”
5. Principle of Rhythm: “Everything flows, out and in; 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. Principle of Cause and Effect: “Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause.”
7. Principle of Gender: “Everything has its masculine and feminine principles.”

They are all similar in that they inculcate knowledge, wisdom and overstanding. In addition, they express easily universal & complicated truths of nature that often times can’t be under-stood by sheer intellect. Rather, cognitive reasoning models help to stimulate the lesson through inferential, evaluative and experimental modes.

THE WAY TO IMMORTALITY:

“Neter sheds light on they who shake the clouds of Error from their soul, and sight the brilliancy of TRUTH, mingling themselves with the ALL-sense of the Divine Intelligence, through LOVE of which they win their freedom from that part over which DEATH rules, and has the seed of the assurance of future Deathlessness implanted in him. This, then, is how the good will differ from the bad.”

“If you seek NETER (GOD), you seek for the beautiful. One is the path that leads unto NETER (GOD)–Devotion joined with Gnosis.”

“For the ill of ignorance does pour over all the earth and overwhelm the SOUL that’s battened down w/in the body, preventing it from finding salvation.”
