Hey folks, thought I would share some links pertaining to the one and only Hermes Trismegistus the father of alchemy and hermetic philosophy. Quite the interesting "man". Anyways there is plenty of esoteric knowledge within these links and I will allow them to speak for themselves. Very intriguing stuff. Hope you all enjoy!

Thanks for the links JCpenny420. I’m sure I’ve heard Terrence McKenna and possibly Alan Watts mention Hermetic philosophy in the past but I’m unfamiliar with the links you have provided. Very interesting read!

Yea it's a great topic. There are so many videos about it on youtube also. Hermes thrice great was said to have reincarnated 3 times. As above, so below.

The Hermetica has long been on my reading list but I haven't made it there yet. It's been said that all of Western thought is merely footnotes to Plato. So I've been concentrating on Plato. I'm a slow reader.
It seems to me immensely unlikely that mind is a mere by-product of matter. For if my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true. They may be sound chemically, but that does not make them sound logically. And hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms.

The metaphors are the backbone of the kybalon and the tablets. The secrets are guarded by them, only the most perceptive will be able to ascertain the secrets within. The unworthy and not so perceptive do not deserve to know the mysteries of life. One must put in the work to be granted the keys.

I myself had to read, re read and read again to understand much of it.

Try again, good luck! The knowledge is there for anyone to see, if perceptive enough.

Thank for this. I have no prior experience reading this and will treasure it.

The Hermetic Arcanum, an alchemical treatise concerning the acquisition of the Philosophers Stone, very interesting.
https://sacred-texts.com/alc/harcanum.htm

Mysteries of the Qabalah for anyone interested.
https://sacred-texts.com/eso/moq/index.htm

Another great straightforward book on Qabalah though I can't find it online is A Garden of Pomegranates by Isreal Regardie.

The Kybalion is awesome if one desired to read the philosophy in simple terms

Perhaps not. Perhaps one should read Popper
