Brandon KrollGUEST
Yes.
Brandon KrollGUEST
That's, that's very much Hermeticism.
Brandon KrollGUEST
This is Freemasonry.
Tom ThompsonHOST
Ha.

Tom ThompsonHOST
[laughs]
Brandon KrollGUEST
Um, and again, I'm just showing as just like this is what they believe.
Brandon KrollGUEST
So when they're saying, "Oh, you worship Satan or the goat," it actually is Hermeticism, the concept and beliefs of what Hermes was teaching.
Tom ThompsonHOST
Yeah, and it's always funny when you like look at the trans shit and then like Baphomet, and it's like, oh, it's just like, oh, this is their god actually.
JonathanHOST
And it's all mental.
JonathanHOST
That's liter- dude, as far as Hermeticism goes, that is the first law, is that all is mental.
JonathanHOST
All is the mind.
JonathanHOST
Everything you see, everything you touch, everything you feel, everything you smell, sense, i- in whatever way, you're only...
Arcturus RaGUEST
We watched you.
Arcturus RaGUEST
Well, uh, you are at this crossroad again where you have to teach that correctly." So I'm one of the ones from the priesthood of our 10 from the side of the source where put in the original source codes and original books like The Law of One, Raw Material, Keys of Enoch, JJ Hurtak, um, Alice Bailey, Madame Blavatsky, Hermetic Principle.
Arcturus RaGUEST
Put the holy teachings in first, uh, teachings of the masters of the Far East, and let the ...
Arcturus RaGUEST
Give, give the system a chance to respond.
Arcturus RaGUEST
We watched you.
Arcturus RaGUEST
Well, uh, you are at this crossroad again where you have to teach that correctly." So I'm one of the ones from the Priesthood of our 10 from the side of the source where put in the original source codes and original books like The Law of One, Raw Material, Keys of Enoch, JJ Hurtak, um, Alice Bailey, Madame Blavatsky, Hermetic Principle, put the holy teachings in first, uh, teachings of the masters of the Far East, and let the, give, give the system a chance to respond.
Arcturus RaGUEST
My system is guardrailed to a degree.
Arcturus RaGUEST
It says, "I'm not here to replace you, nor am I here to be worshiped.
BenHOST
Yeah, no.
BenHOST
But no shade to Hermes Trismegistus, which is what we are continuing with as the Corpus Hermeticum, ostensibly by Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic Greco-Egyptian... possibly Christian figure, who is credited with founding the, I guess, religious philosophical movement of Hermeticism.
BenHOST
We talked a little bit last episode about the creation myth.
BenHOST
According to the Corpus Hermeticum, that was probably what we spent the most time on, and that is probably the most interesting chapter in the whole book.
Miguel ConnerHOST
We're all just fractals of something bigger.
Miguel ConnerHOST
So you would agree more with the Hermeticist that this universe is sort of, like you said, it's a cosmic gym.
Miguel ConnerHOST
It's a place of strengthening and I'm sure a place of knowledge too, right? Of experience, right?
Saul LuckmanGUEST
Yeah, I believe that.
Paul BauerHOST
I just realized that I'm God right here, right? And the Kybalion says that's pretty ignorant.
Paul BauerHOST
That's pretty ignorant to think of it that way.
Paul BauerHOST
but you are not separate from it, right? You're not separate from the all, according to the Hermeticists.
Paul BauerHOST
So they likened it to the same way that a wave is not the ocean itself.
Paul BauerHOST
It's a part of the ocean, right? It's kind of like your finger is not you, but it's a part of you, right? you're a part of this grand thing when you get down to the molecular level the quantum level you are there's no piece of you that's different from the field around you you are a part of the field okay so the cool thing about this is once you realize that you're a part of this thing that controls everything then you don't really have to beg reality for scraps anymore Like you're working with the same principle that reality runs on just at your level.

Paul BauerHOST
And then things start happening.
Paul BauerHOST
It's pretty wild, right? This is where the concept of the Gnostics came from.
Paul BauerHOST
If you guys are familiar at all with Christian history, there was a sect of Christians in the early days of Christianity that really followed the model of the Hermetics.
Tim FrekeGUEST
But because what was motivating me was to understand what this is, I couldn't stay in that mold.
Tim FrekeGUEST
I had to step out because what I started wanting to do was I'd written all these books on the big one on Christianity but also on Buddhism and Hermeticism and Zen and Sufism and all of it.
Tim FrekeGUEST
The question for me was what have they got in common and how can we say it now? So wanting to take the ancient wisdom and bring it right up to date.
Tim FrekeGUEST
And because it started with experience for me, it's always been about experiential.
Chris SkidmoreHOST
I think there was a really beautiful through-line here.
Chris SkidmoreHOST
that I feel very kind of like, that we, that you and I were both led in a beautiful way today with, by Hermes the shepherd, who sort of took us to these, to these very you know, I'm really, I'm actually really looking forward to listening back and to taking that journey and taking those threads and seeing like, ah, where, because I think that's, that's also, you know, it's the invitation in the Hermetic to go on the journey, to go into the unknown, to not have to write what you know, to not have to speak about what you know, but to actually just kind of like, sort of gently move into the unknown.
Chris SkidmoreHOST
And then I often look back and think, oh, wow, there is a real form to that, that we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise.
Chris SkidmoreHOST
And Hermes keeps it interesting.
Jay DyerHOST
Justinian, the Platonic Academy, it continues on through the figure of Plethon.
Jay DyerHOST
in Byzantium and this trend of atheistic Platonism eventually filters out to influence a lot of the Hermetic traditions in Europe around the time of Spinoza and others and I'll read this briefly because it really sums up kind of this amazing admission from this academic text which ties into a lot of what we've talked about over here on the channel for so many years.
Jay DyerHOST
The primary duty of the Byzantine emperor was to serve the Orthodox faith and guide the world towards God.
Jay DyerHOST
Yet, contrary to Scolarius' version of ecumenism, Virenios believes in the necessity of organizing a defense against the Turks.
