Hermeticism and The Occult Thread Anonymous Fri Jan 17 04:53:59 2020 No.14553332 [Reply] [Original]

0) Balinas mentions the engraving on the table in the hand of Hermes, which says:
1) Truth! Certainty! That in which there is no doubt!
2) That which is above is from that which is below, and that which is below is from that which is above, working the miracles of one.
3) As all things were from one.
4) Its father is the Sun and its mother the Moon.
5) The Earth carried it in her belly, and the Wind nourished it in her belly,
7) as Earth which shall become Fire.
7a) Feed the Earth from that which is subtle, with the greatest power.
8) It ascends from the earth to the heaven and becomes ruler over that which is above and that which is below.
14) And I have already explained the meaning of the whole of this in two of these books of mine.
[Holmyard 1923: 562.]

>gentiles are soulless qlippoth
Will I gain a soul if I convert and become a Jew? I've been realizing through my meditation practices that I probably do have no soul. It feels like shit.

>In fact, Hegel himself is God, for his is the consciousness in the vanguard of mankind, the thinking speculative consciousness that first grasps the unity of man with God. In itself this is not much different from Rousseau's selfappointment as i'homme naturei, or Saint-Simon's announcement that he speaks with the voice of God. Hegel seeks to resolve the problem by creating a world in which all men can realize the fullness of freedom. His philosophy of history has, seemingly, two points of culmination, one being Hegel's divine mind, the other being the state, but it is through participation in the state that all men are to be made in the image of Hegel.

False. Magic has always been used for attaining physical things; read any old text about magic or look to societies that still practice it. Most magicians look down upon that sort of use, but even people like Evola and Guenon admit that it can be used in that way.

I was reading a book on Qabalah, and the person briefly mentioned that instead of being absorbed into the monad, it's possible to be "destroyed" by this absorption but somehow still differentiate yourself. You essentially become a God in your own right afterwards. Anyone know where I can read more about this? It presumably comes from Qabalah, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a concept in Hinduism.
