Hey Andre, appreciate you taking the time to comment! You're totally right that the Kybalion (1908) isn't an original Hermetic text and differs from the more ancient works like the Corpus Hermeticum and the Perfect Discourse. In the video, we wanted to explore both the roots of Hermeticism and its more modern interpretations. The Kybalion’s definitely more of a modern take, and it doesn’t align perfectly with the older writings. Thanks for pointing that out!
@@SymbolSage All books about Hermes, are decoys. The only truthful things about Hermeticism is that it is SEALED. He is a real son of God, busy working, Genesis 3:22. John 10:34, John 4:22 Everything you covered in the video is nonsense.
Hermetic text are sometimes very gnostic and world hating, and sometimes it is the complete opposites and world loving. Hermetic texts are full of contradictions which makes it hard to interpret sometimes.
That's quite insightful. I think it's partly because of how broad it is and the number of different traditions that it draws from, which can cause contradictions in the writings. It's also what makes it so complex and interesting to study.
Prof wouter Hangraff who is a prof of Histrory and Hermetic Philosophy states that . The hermetic believes in creating the devine from the physical world whilst the Gnostic regects all things physical. I beleive people could get confused when reading litrature such as The Hermetic order of the Golden Dawn OTO Thelema or Theosophy which combines both Philosophy's such as stoicism Qabalah vajrayana Buddhism which seems contradictive.
@@QvodInferivs The Hermetics see the universe as a beautiful creation made in the image of god, whereas Gnostics see it as a flawed creation that they are a prison in. But sometimes we see this world hating aspect show up in hermetic texts, hence the confusion.

Hmm Literally saw a live of a dude saying the Kybalion was NOT Hermeticism but New Thought. 🤔 He said those 3 'initiates' were masonic . Idk just saying
I can see where Hermeticism could be a key aspect of the pursuit of knowledge among secret societies, but these societies also promote tremendous pride in their knowledge and are very selfish with that knowledge. That rules out the hermetic nature of the societies. True Hermeticism must include humility and generosity.
Thank you for this beautiful video. Now I understand better the path I'm on and the destination I'm seeking. I greatly look forward to your future videos on this topic.
Saint John the Baptiist practised the simpler way of life instead of him teaching it as a philosophy well instead of him promoting the simpler way of life in any kind of heretical way.
The Kyballion was written by a lawyer from Pennsylvania, William W Atkinson. Not three initiates. Real Hermetica: The Corpus Hermeticum, The Asclepius, The Stobean Fragments, The Nag Hammadi Hermetica, The Emerald Tablet of Hermes, The Pupil of the Cosmos...we also have so many fragments of authentic Hermetica from ancient writers like Iamblichus and even Church Fathers Why even discuss the Kyballion? So much in the real texts to discover
I mean i'm just saying Absolutely not....Screw that without question unequivocally screw that...that's stupid... Or better yet, maybe you just need new teachers.If you haven't learned something in 20 years, maybe the teachers are the problem you've gummed up some simple things with so much BS, Yeah, I don't see it the usefulness of this topic.I don't see it
I get where you're coming from! Hermeticism definitely isn't for everyone, and it can seem a bit over-complicated at times. It might just not resonate with your current interests or views. Sometimes the way it's taught can make it feel more complex than it is. Appreciate you sharing your perspective though!
Haha, fair point! Hermeticism is definitely one of those topics where the more you learn, the more there is to explore. It can be a lifelong journey for some, but totally get why that might seem overkill to others!
The first principle makes all other principles unnecessary. Everything is mental so you can mentally change everything including those principles. That realisation is the ultimate end of one’s hermetic journey. It’s the end and the beginning.
Great job. I loved it. The only thing is that the Three Initiates were not three different people, it was William Walker Atkinson's pseudonym which referenced his three aspects (Spirit, Soul, Body)
Great job doing what? Reading a single sentence on each of the principles that are fully articulated in The Kybalion? I bet you could have read those sentences equally well.
Hermeticism is simply creation in a controlled station with all elements reflecting and vebrationg and creating something from sounds of the universe #shinyones equals in all degrees
Excellent video, Symbol Sage! However, your video was not the first video I've seen on UA-cam that presented the seven principles of Hermeticism - but it's an excellent video nonetheless.
good point to contemplate! That is why I tend to stay with 'just' connecting to Higher Self - not finished yet about it can be really so simple😅I think the knowledge about Mentalism is important as to help the C to fully open up as we open keys ?
Wasn’t all these stole and rewritten from Ancient Egypt. Then they invaded Egypt. Stop the nonsense, please. We all know what had happened with invaders stealing EVERYTHING, then make it like they created it.
I have been studying Hermeticism for nearly 25 years... and I need at least three more lifetimes to understand it. Western mysteries are beautiful things, they're deeply complex and rich. Modern day practitioners have lifetimes to explore the Great Work. I feel so blessed to have known about these practices since very young.
I ain't joinin any cults. But. Where do I "learn" hermeticism? I've been aware of it for quite some time now, but recently... recently I have (maybe 2-3 years) been trying to really assemble my own belief system per se as to how I personally see the world and cosmos working together. I came to stumble on hermetisicm. As a history geek Hermes Trigsmagistus came up and watched a video on him and thought, what really is hermeticism? I've come to find that my old beliefs were coming back and seemed a little refined and with knew information. But I found it strange how Hermetisicm either had the same philosophy or a new one seemed uncannily compatible. I wish to actually learn more, like practices and "rituals" to connect or ground with the universe. Ive practiced astral projection(succeeded 2x, 1 on purpose, 1 on accident) lucid dreaming(can't control it, it just happens and rarely). Ive always believed that the atoms in me could potentially communicate or at least effect neighboring atoms, creating a butterfly effect to potential fruition. I dont know. Its too long now. I just need an actual person i guess. Later.
I'm also new but as for studying hermeticism there's nothing better than just reading and studying the works themselves. You can watch all these AI videos and all the other yt videos about it but in the end reading them is necessary.
@@Mr.Skald_ I ended up picking up the 3 core books I guess you could say, shortly after posting this. The Kybalion, the emerald tablet and the corpus hermetica. I have enjoyed it better than these videos
@jeremiekonegni4957 That's good to hear although I hear (I'm new so don't take my word) the kybalion was written way after the corpus hermetica and is not hermeticism. The three initiates were actually one person. So be cautious when reading and keep in mind that it is not true hermeticism. I think we are on the right path tho 😆👍
ALL IS ONES BELIEF,EXPERIENCES,STUDIES OVER TIME THROUGH THE TRUE GOD ,CREATOR AND WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH IT🙏☯️🌈👁️💝
The 3 initiates was WW Atkinson
This is not Hermeticism, this is just the Kybalion (1908) A fake Hermetic text. Contradictory to the Corpus Hermeticum and the perfect discourse.

This was TOTALLY OFF!!!
Just another attempt to add Greek thought to the origin of Thought. And it is NOT. All Greek thought came From Kemet
A good overview of Hermeticism. It's a difficult topic so this made it accessible. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Kyballion is not hermeticism.
We've done a video about the Kybalion - and you're quite right.

William Shakespeare's 44th and 45th sonnets deal with the elements and also reflect Hermetic principles.
Yin/Yang is a Taoist concept, not Confucian.
If you study something for twenty years and need another twenty years to study it you should probably find someone else to study😂

Why would one view the soul as imperfect and need alchemy to make it perfect? I think of the soul as already perfect.

For the love of Hermes why do you have elevator music in the background the ENTIRE video? 2 mins in and I'm out. Gatt damm.

yep, the looped pseudo-spiritual muzak is an annoyance and distraction from the discourse.
What is theurgy?
