The Seven Hermetic Principles

.

technology and all the new science is
coming forth from our world in the last
few years but guess what there were
civilizations here over 10,000 years ago
they knew stuff that we're just
beginning to find out they knew stuff
that was so far Advanced that we
wouldn't even think about it one of the
things that we're going to talk about
today are the Hermetic principles now
these are principles about the nature of
Life on this planet that were created
over 5 thousand years ago but what's so
interesting about them no matter how old
they are they are scientifically
accurate at this moment right now but
before we go into them I'd like Alex to
take over for a minute here and give us
a little history about the hermatic
principles and then let's compare those
principles from 5,000 years ago to what
we know today the seven hermetic
principles are part of a school of
thought that goes back tens of thousands
of years but more recently we can
attribute this work to a book written in
1908 called the cabalian by three
initiates it's a story that revolves
around a particular character known as
Hermes Tris magistus which translates
roughly as Hermes the Thrice greatest
now through research and Academia
there's a lot of debate on whether or
not Hermes Tris magistus was an actual
historical figure or the result of a
coalescing of an ancient Think Tank
because Hermes Tris magistus shares
qualities and characteristics from other
characters in in ancient times such as
th the god of writing and wisdom in
ancient Egypt and Hermes the god of
communication the messenger of gods from
ancient Greece what's so important about
the seven hermetic principles as we will
find out in this video today is that it
gives us a framework for the mechanics
and the rules that govern reality itself
it's really cool and really exciting
when we start to see that ancient wisdom
starts to bridge into the world of
modern science such as quantum physics
into a focal point that gives us a sense
of empowerment and knowledge on how to
live in this world not just live in this
world but thrive in this world so let's
go on a little adventure and see what
kind of wisdom we can unfold
[Music]
today the first principle from the
Hermetic series is the principle of
mentalism well concept that they're
talking about is it our intelligence our
Consciousness our mental activity is
what is actually creating the world that
we live in well that sounds like a
really weird idea but guess what it is
Ultimate modern quantum physics even on
the founding day of quantum physics in
1927 Max plank one of the founding
fathers of this science
recognized that Consciousness is
creating our life experiences how you
are thinking and what you're believing
and how you behave is actually
manifesting the experiences we have in
this world well plank gave us the idea
that consciousness creates our life
experiences this idea from 1927 is as
valid today as it was then a recent
article in the journal Nature the most
prestigious scientific journal on this
planet by Richard con Henry a physicist
from John Hopkins University wrote an
article entitled the mental Universe
well I'm not going to go through all the
details of the article because it's all
summed up in the last sentence of the
article quote the universe is IMM
material it's mental and
spiritual live and enjoy the concept
that quantum physics has revealed is
that our mental character is actually
creating the world this is profoundly
important just from a simple scientific
point of view for example we talk about
the what we call the placebo effect
someone has an illness they take a drug
that is told to them to be what they
needed to heal themselves with they take
the drug they get better and then we
find out that the drug they took was a
sugar pill so the question is then what
healed this person and the answer was
the positive thinking that resulted from
the placebo effect well guess what
there's a consequence of negative
thinking that's called the noo effect
and most of the illnesses on this planet
can actually be really related back to
negative Consciousness the nobo effect
is the opposite of the placebo effect
yet both Placebo and nobo are mental
constructions and so basically what we
have to understand is our thinking
indeed is creating our world and there's
a difference between positive thinking
and negative
[Music]
thinking geometry is the math that
provides for structure in space the
geometry that we all took in school was
called ukian geometry if you remember
that's a geometry with squares and
triangles circles pyramids all these
kinds of objects and structure in space
well it's very interesting because the
ukian geometry is what we use to create
our world today the houses the buildings
even the technology and electronics Etc
all comes down to understanding geometry
of a ukan nature okay well here's the
issue is there a geometry that Mak makes
a tree is there a geometry that makes a
snail yes there is and it turns out it's
called fractal geometry it's a very
simple equation but here's the nature of
the equation that you solve the equation
and you get an answer but the neat part
is now you take the answer and feed it
back into the same equation solve it
again you get another answer take that
answer feed it back in it's an iteration
it's a repeat of the same pattern over
and and over again using guess what the
same original formula since you're using
the same equation the patterns in the
geometry repeat themselves at higher or
lower levels of organization so if
you're trying to understand a pattern at
a higher level of
organization then you could go back and
look for the same pattern at a lower
level of that mathematics make sense out
of it at the lower level and then take
that information and understand the
higher level it comes down to something
you've heard your whole life it's called
as above so below so basically it said
you can see the structure of the
universe in patterns that replicate in
self- similar fashion at any level of
organization it's very simple one that I
work with all the time is cell biology
you can look at the human say look at
all the functions in this human body
that's very complex 50 trillion cells
but guess what in a single nucleated
cell in your body all the functions that
you have in your body are already
present in the cell the cell has
respiration digestion excretion it even
cells even have an immune system it's
the same mechanism that's used in the
higher organization which is then a
human body in other words there's a
repetition in the structure from as
above to below not a new age idea but a
fundamental principle and fractal
geometry now an interesting point about
it is as far as we know fractal geometry
came into awareness in the 1980s with
mandal bro well obviously 5,000 years
ago they obviously knew it as well which
then says how smart are we or how smart
were the people that gave rise to us
this is an important part for looking at
the nature of the Hermetic principles
[Music]
the principle of vibration is so
interesting because everything in the
universe is moving all the time it's
always vibrating and moving when quantum
physics first look at the atom as the
earlier physicists they saw the physical
structures of protons neutrons and
electrons but as they started to take it
apart they found out at the very bottom
there wasn't anything physical it was a
Vortex of energy you can visualize
energy by taking a rock and dropping it
into to a pond well the energy of the
rock as it hits the water is translated
into the pond water what is the result
ripples that radiate out Ripples and
ripples radiating out that is the shape
of energy the energy is a force who is
shaping matter it's the energy
underneath the water it's continuously
vibrating waves and ripples come out of
atoms atoms are spinning vortexes of
energy and in the process the they make
waves and these ripples go out into
space everything in the know Universe in
regard to the physical experience is
based on atoms and all atoms are energy
vortices with ripples that radiate out
atoms are Nano tornadoes well let's
consider then the real tornado it's a
spinning Vortex of energy try and drive
your car through a tornado as you get to
the tornado the force field of that
vibration can actually lift up your car
and throw it away vortices of Energy
Nano tornadoes have force fields to them
I can see a tornado it's got all the
debris and the dirt and the dust that's
been picked up by the Windstorm and
thrown all around if you take the dirt
and dust out of the tornado it's still
an energy force field even though now
you can't see it an energy force is
invisible but you can feel it because it
will push on you you push on it that
feels physical as far as we know the
ancient people weren't talking quantum
physics but they obviously knew quantum
physics because they understood the
nature of the vibration even though they
live in a world like we live in the
world that appears to be
physical this ancient wisdom was built
into the Hermetic principles
[Music]
the hermitic principle of polarity talks
about the fact that there are opposites
but they're the same how can they be
opposites and be the same well let's go
back to the understanding of an atom and
I talked about the fact that an atom you
can see its action through the uh
ripples in a pond and it's sort of
actually what is called a sine wave and
a sine wave goes up and a sine wave goes
down and a sine wave goes up and it goes
down but there's a midpoint at the
midpoint if you look at the wave going
up we would say that's the positive but
when it goes back down to the midpoint
and goes under the midpoint that's the
negative so we talk about a graph with a
line positive above negative below but
guess what the same Ripple is positive
for some part and then negative for the
other part polarities represent an
extension of a Continuum that on one
side is one extreme of that Continuum
and the other side is the Other Extreme
they came from the same Ripple that's
going up and down and so when we look at
the world we have a tendency to focus on
the polarities good bad night day all
these different polarities that we have
generated all represent the same day and
night is a cycle you can plot it it's
all the same can I separate day from
night no you can't they're all the same
vibration but this is important for us
to understand because we have a tendency
to move to one side of the polarity move
to the other side of the polarity
and this creates a problem in our world
especially when we divide um let's say
politics or any level of Consciousness
we say this side it says this and this
side says that they look like opposite
sides but the truth is they're all on
the same wave length and the important
part for us to understand is where
should we be in this wave up and down
the midpoint because you say well that
side was negative if you erase it and
don't put it into your picture and you
only look at the positive side you're
not seeing the whole picture you need to
see both sides to make the picture life
experiences reveal the polarity between
good and bad these are teachings we
learn what is good and what is bad and
we recognize we're all on the same
emotional wavelength this is not a
modern concept this is a concept from
thousands of years ago but makes sense
in a world of quantum physics of the
energy the vibration and the wavelength
so the Hermetic principles again were
based on some knowledge way back then
that we are in our current world finally
recognizing but it brings up an
interesting fact how do they know all
this back 5,000 years
ago in the Hermetic principle of dealing
with rhythm recogniz this very simple
fact all atoms are actually energy
vibrations well a vibration has a rhythm
there's an up phase and a down phase and
an up phase and a down phase well this
Rhythm can also be present in our life
there are times when you're in harmony
with the going up and these are the good
feeling times these are great and there
are times when we're seem to be out of
Harmony but that's because the rhythm is
going down in the opposite polarity so
the point about the rhythm is if you can
choose and you can engage then you can
ride the Rhythm and then make your life
smooth rather than abrupt changes of
good bad good bad it's a flow it's a
wavelength historically this wavelength
characterizes much of the history of
this planet so the original people the
indigenous people they understood the
Rhythm they lived in the balance they
lived in the middle part so that their
lives were living in harmony it's
interesting because in our social
Evolution we started at balance went
spirituality with polytheism then
ultimate spirituality
monotheism and then there was a revolt
and it's called the Protestant
Reformation and they started to say well
wait maybe matter isn't as bad as the
church was claiming it was because the
church was at the top of the pole the
bottom of the pole was matter and the
church said well that stuff at the
bottom is not good and then that wave
started to come back down toward the
middle we crossed the middle it's called
theism the belief of Nature and God
being the same thing nature being the
physical reality God being the spiritual
reality and deism said they're both the
same thing well interestingly that deism
is the foundational principle of the
United States when it was first formed
by the founding fathers but it's a wave
it didn't stop at the midpoint well as
the wave started to go in the material
realm we started to let go of the
spiritual realm that matter now becomes
the most important thing well we let go
the spiritual so where does life come
from in the material world and they
answer they came up with was genes genes
represented the source of the physical
experience and then all of a sudden we
said yep spirit's not necessary we've
got genes there was a point where people
said there's something more than the
Physical Realm and they started to look
at healing in a different way they
started to recognize that you could heal
with energy you could heal with
consciousness people start to say yeah
but that's the invisible part the
material realm started to transition
back into what that there's a spiritual
realm that we've left out of the story
so if you understand we pull back and
look at the flow the flow is what a sine
wave and a sine wave shows us there's an
up and then a down and an up and a down
but the sine wave is the example of
Rhythm that you put both of them
together and then you can make a
vibration that goes up and down like
that so again the whole principle is
coming back at this
point so the point of caus and effect is
actions cause
reactions but reactions then alter the
original cause of the first action so it
doesn't have one cycle it's repetitious
the whole time everything is is action
reaction action reaction if you want to
understand how in the universe you see
something moving you automatically know
there must have been something that
pushed it in the first place to move so
the basic understanding of caus and
effect action reaction is built into our
world of view and our world
understanding well sometimes this might
be applied misdirect a scientist by the
name Michael Denton started to look at
the universe and started to recognize
that the waves of interaction of all the
things in the universe uh lead to a a
cause of a creation well the idea that
there is a creation LED some people to
say well if there's a creation there's a
Creator and well what's God to a lot of
people the energy the universe
everything that is but they make that
energy into a person the white bearded
guy up in the sky is the physical
Creator I say no but pering that there's
a creation they automatically with the
idea of cause and effect use that
principle to say Well there must be a
cause so what we're really beginning to
understand in the world of quantum
physics that everything is energy well
energy is interact with energies a
thought is a Creative Energy you can
create a thought but that thought being
an energy can alter the physical reality
of yourself even so your thoughts being
broadcast are a cause but the energy of
the thought engages with the energy of
the atoms of your body and are manifest
as an experience cause and effect that
just simplifies why the biology belief
is so important because your
Consciousness is a cause that results in
an effect as perceived in your body
so from the wave of an atom to the
intelligence of the human it's all been
divided into what we have perceived and
labeled as male and female but
recognizing all organisms have both
characteristics in a Cell they have both
energies a cell cannot live with just
male characteristics or with just female
characteristics I said what's the
difference male characteristics are
associated with structure and movement
female characteristics are associated
with vegetation and reproduction in
other words growth and this is
support both support and growth are in
every present cell you have the support
part which is your skeleton in fact
that's a big deal the muscles and a
skeleton but you have the vegetative
part well those are the organs of the
gut that are taking care of the
metabolism cleaning up the system over
the
Evolution the cells started to split
because of differentiation of function
and one cell says okay I'll handle the
support but I can only work with it if
you handle the vegetative so it took
both the male and female but you have to
work them together and the significance
about this is even in the cell both of
them are there but it's even in the
human in the human we have both a female
and male characteristic to it and the
simplest one is just look at the brain
there's a line right down the middle of
the brain that line separates what are
called the hemispheres left and right
well they're totally two different
functions the left hemisphere is
associated with intellectual thinking
and stuff like that the right hemisphere
is associated with emotion gender plays
an important role but then also
recognize this just like polarity that
we talked about before it's all on the
same wavelength they're not separate
from each other both are required
emphasize the left more intellectual
emphasize the right more emotional and
then label them as what male
intellectual female emotional they were
the same thing they were always a
Continuum of the same thing there is a
difference in gender yes but we have
created an artificial separation of that
through the programming that we acquire
in the first seven years of our life
human programming has caused us
separation you want to understand how to
live in harmony go back and recognize
each of the principles in the Hermetic
series because when you put them all
together it is a guide for us to thrive
into the future and it's interesting
because there's an old saying from Mark
Twain he said the older I get the
smarter my father
becomes and the idea is the older we get
in Civilization
now we can look back and say how smart
those people were at the very beginning
and we should honor
that we just made a list of the
mechanisms of how the universe work and
this is really great because when you
understand it then it says well if I use
these mechanisms I can manifest a life
but the big word that I just used was
use these mechanisms awareness of the
mechanisms and not using them is a waste
of your time and your life you have to
use these principles in the way you
carry out your life because they are the
principles that determine the character
of Life what do you care about in this
world what is it that excites you and
makes you feel like I love living in
this world find out what it is that
drives your heart what makes you feel
good and all that make it an
intention it's not just a knowledge but
an intention means I am driving toward
something what are you driving toward in
your life and this is the big issue
because most of us are saying I don't
want to that I don't want that if we
just go over the Hermetic principles it
says what's in your mind you can
manifest well then focus on that picture
because when you put that picture into
your Consciousness and then we start to
manifest our Consciousness through what
intention and that was the point now
that I have the picture now that I know
what I like I must make an intention and
activate that intention
to manifest the experience you are the
