Rooted in ancient wisdom, the esoteric principles of Hermeticism have been covertly taught for centuries. Originating from Hermes Trismegistus, these philosophies continue to discreetly impact the modern world. For example, look at the caduceus: it’s a common symbol used within the medical field, yet its true origins in Hermetic tradition are rarely known or understood. To truly grasp the power of these teachings, we first need to understand the word ‘esoteric.’
The Definition of Esoteric
Within its definition, the word ‘esoteric’ has two layers of meaning. First, knowledge that is widely known to the masses yet only a small number of people truly understand. This is wisdom hidden in plain sight, such as the caduceus. Second, and the focus of this post, refers to knowledge that is only known by a select few. In essence, this is the type of wisdom intended for those seeking a deeper understanding of reality. As we explore Hermeticism, knowledge traditionally concealed from the masses will be unveiled.
All Is Mind: The Universe Is Mental
Hermetic teachings are defined by seven core principles, or laws, that fundamentally orchestrate the operational mechanisms of our reality. These universal laws function with perpetual effect, regardless of whether you’re aware of them. Through conscious recognition and utilization, you can begin to align with these unseen forces.
To begin, the foundational principle of Hermetic teachings is Mentalism: “All is Mind, the universe is mental.” This means that reality originates from a singular point of unified consciousness. Our tangible existence is ultimately rooted in the energetic component of thought. When fully understood, the implications of this law contain the potential for remarkable transformation.
Reprogramming Your Paradigm
Whether positive or negative, your present moment reality is the direct effect of previously sustained thought patterns. Beliefs that shape habitual thought patterns are predominately instilled through external influence rather than deliberate installation. Understanding this concept, you can begin to take control of your own operational paradigm.
Whether installed through socialization or a different mechanism, limiting beliefs negatively influence behavioral tendencies and coinciding outcomes. Due to vibrational correspondence, internal paradigms influence external circumstances. Understand, you can intentionally reprogram limiting belief systems. During this process, thought patterns and behavioral habits are upgraded. Ultimately, physical circumstances will transform in direct accordance with your evolved mental paradigm.
