What is your cosmology? What is the way that you see the world fit together. Often we hear “As Above, So Below”. This principle As Above, So Below is one of the Hermetic Philosophy keys. What is important is asking the question to each of our selves.
- What is behind the principle “As Above, So Below”?
- What are the other Hermetic Principles that bring together a version of the Universe?
- Is there only one version or are there more than one version? Are there many versions?
- What is happening on the Earth and the humans that live here that perhaps takes its lead from the Heavens and Stars?
- What happens if there is no Leading Energy on Earth and humans just live and die?
- How do I relate all the seemingly terrible things happening in the world as it relates to the Cosmos?
- Is there a connection between the Cosmos and what is happening on Earth?
- Where am I in relation to the Cosmos? How do I make sense of it all?
The Spiritual Development helps each of us, newbies to long-term explorers, to create a cosmology or scaffolding where you can attempt to relate to the events outside of ourselves is actually connected to what is happening within our Mind.
We create the world with Mind, individually and group consciousness.
In the Hermetic Philosophy we all learn the 7 Principles that the material describes, and a final 8th Hermetic Principle that brings it all together.
Here are the 8 Principles:
- Every thing in Mental energy
- Every thing Corresponds, As Above, So Below
- Everything is Vibration
- Every thing is Rhythm and Moves, Nothing stands still
- Every thing is Polar Opposites, they attract each other
- Every thing is Cause and Effect
- Every thing is Masculine vibration in the Feminine, Feminine in the Masculine vibration
- Every thing is in Alignment with Every thing created – seen and unseen
