The Seven Hermetic Principles, attributed to Hermes Trismegistus as the teachings of the Egyptian God Thoth, relate to the dual reality of a relative physical existence on Earth. The seven spiritual dualities of opposing energies are:
- Mentality: The duality of mind & consciousness
- Correspondence: The duality of the above & the below, the inner & the outer, the micro & the macro
- Vibration: The duality of matter & motion, action & inertia, chaos & order, the frequency & wavelength of force & magnitude
- Polarity: The duality of paradox and positive & negative perspective
- Gender: the duality of male & female, yin & yang, masculine & feminine
- Rhythm: The duality of ebb & flow, rise & fall, expansion & contraction
- Cause & Affect: The duality of objective action & the subjective effects of chance & opportunity, fate & destiny, fortune & misfortune
The Absolute Nature of the experience of physical reality is attained by transforming the perspective of the Self to transcend the experience of relative duality, on a tris-megistus path where one’s destiny is hermetically sealed in truth.
Overcoming these 7 dualities requires the perspective of a Third Way. This allows Seven Hermetic Spiritual Choices, of the physical, mental & emotional nature of life:
- Mentality is the manifest perspective of the perceptual energy of mind, thought & consciousness; causing an awareness of emotional feeling as a matter of choice of physical experience
- Cause & Effect realises that: A choice of thought is the cause, a choice of emotion is the effect and a choice of experience is so created
- Correspondence is a choice of consciousness of the Self with an awareness of its Soul, which allows a conscious-awareness of the connection of the Soul with its Self and the confidence of its Self in its Soul. As above in the super-conscious imagination of the Soul, so below in the sub-conscious intellect of the Self.
- Vibration is a choice of frequency of mental thought with a choice of wavelength of emotional feeling, which allows a choice of vibration of physical experience
- Polarity ensures that every frequency of conscious thought has a choice of a positive, a neutral or a negative polarity, which determines the intensity of an experience
- Gender ensures that every wavelength of emotional feeling has a choice of male & female perception, or a balance of both
- Rhythm ensures that life flows with opportunity when consciousness is aware, gender is balanced, polarity is neutral, vibration is in harmony, correspondence is aligned and paradox is reconciled because the affect is the cause of a creative and an adjective reality, of personal choice
The Law of Attraction ensures that like energy unto itself is drawn, so whatever I mentally think and emotionally feel becomes my physical experience of life. Pure vibrations of mental & emotional energy are potentially, divinely, beneficially, creatively attractive.
The potential of Creative Ability is relative to the magnitude of emotional power, which is relative to the force of mental authority. Correspondence & confidence between the Soul and its Self ensures that mental authority is emotionally empowered to enable a divine physical ability to overcome the limitations of relative dual reality life.
