The Seven Hermetic Principles: Universal Laws of Reality

The Emerald Tablet Foundation

The hermetic tradition, attributed to Hermes Trismegistus ("Thrice-Greatest Hermes"), offers humanity's most precise understanding of how consciousness creates reality. These principles aren't philosophical abstractions—they're operational laws that govern both inner experience and outer manifestation.

Our research investigates how these ancient principles align with modern physics, psychology, and consciousness studies.

The Seven Universal Principles

1. The Principle of Mentalism

"The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental."

Everything exists within the infinite mind of The All. Our research documents how this principle aligns with consciousness-first theories in quantum physics and cognitive science.

2. The Principle of Correspondence

"As above, so below; as below, so above."

Patterns repeat across all levels of reality. Our studies show how this principle applies to fractal patterns in nature, psychological development, and social organization.

3. The Principle of Vibration

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."

All matter and consciousness exist in constant motion. Modern physics validates this ancient insight through wave-particle duality and quantum field theory.

4. The Principle of Polarity

"Everything is dual; everything has poles."

Opposites are identical in nature but different in degree. Our research explores how this principle applies to psychological integration and spiritual development.

5. The Principle of Rhythm

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides."

All manifestation follows rhythmic patterns. We study how understanding these cycles enhances personal growth and spiritual practice.

6. The Principle of Cause and Effect

"Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause."

Nothing happens by chance. Our research investigates how conscious application of this principle empowers intentional living and spiritual development.

7. The Principle of Gender

"Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles."

Creation requires both active and receptive principles. We explore how balancing these aspects supports psychological wholeness and spiritual creativity.

Hermetic Tradition in Modern Context

Ancient Egypt to Contemporary Science

The hermetic tradition bridges ancient Egyptian wisdom with Greek philosophy, influencing alchemy, astrology, and magic throughout history. Today, these principles find validation in quantum physics, systems theory, and consciousness research.

Our research documents how hermetic principles provide frameworks for understanding complex modern phenomena from holistic perspectives.

FAQ's on Hermeticism

Frequently asked Questions on Hermeticism

What is Hermeticism?

Hermeticism is a profound esoteric stream that arose in the spiritual atmosphere of Hellenistic Egypt around 300 BCE, bearing the wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus—a luminous figure uniting the archetypal forces of the Greek Hermes and the Egyptian Thoth. Rooted in the mysteries of the cosmos, it seeks to illuminate the nature of the divine, the essence of reality, and humanity’s sacred connection to the universe. Hermeticism weaves together alchemy, astrology, and theurgy as transformative paths, guided by the Seven Hermetic Principles—timeless laws that unveil the rhythms of creation and the spiritual ascent of the human soul.

What are the Seven Hermetic Principles?

The Seven Hermetic Principles (best understood in the Kybalion) are fundamental concepts in Hermeticism:

  1. The Principle of Mentalism: All is mind; the universe is mental.
  2. The Principle of Correspondence: As above, so below; as below, so above.
  3. The Principle of Vibration: Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.
  4. The Principle of Polarity: Everything is dual; everything has two poles; everything has its opposite.
  5. The Principle of Rhythm: Everything flows; everything has its tides; everything rises and falls.
  6. The Principle of Cause and Effect: Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause.
  7. The Principle of Gender: Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles

What practices are part of Hermeticism?

Hermeticism involves various practices including spiritual elevation, divine ascent, and works described in the "technical Hermetica". These may include:

  • Devotional worship of cosmic gods and the Godhead
  • Sacrifice of speech and singing hymns in sacred silence
  • Purification and refinement of the soul
  • Astral projection and divine ascent techniques
  • Contemplation and mystical union with the Divine

Practitioners may also incorporate practices from other magical and spiritual traditions.

Does Hermeticism require formal initiation?

Hermeticism as a whole does not require formal initiation. While some Hermetic groups may have their own initiation rituals, the core Hermetic texts do not mention a requirement for initiation. However, there are "mysteries" in Hermeticism involving spiritual elevation and divine ascent. Undertaking these practices, especially with guidance from someone experienced, could be considered a form of initiation.

How old are the concepts like the Law of Attraction in relation to Hermeticism?

The Law of Attraction, though widely recognized in modern times, finds its deeper origins within the ancient wisdom of Hermetic teachings. The Kybalion, a vessel for the eternal Hermetic principles, speaks of the Principle of Vibration—a cosmic truth illuminating the unseen forces of cohesion, molecular affinity, and the harmonics of creation. Within this principle lies the essence of what we now call the Law of Attraction, revealing that humanity has long intuited the power of thought and resonance as tools for shaping reality, rooted in the spiritual rhythms of the cosmos.

What is the Hermetic concept of the seven heavens?

Hermeticism reveals the soul’s sacred journey as an ascent through the seven heavens, each resonating with the spiritual forces of the seven classical planets. These celestial realms serve as stages of purification and awakening, where the soul relinquishes the veils of material influence and aligns itself ever more harmoniously with the divine cosmos. In this ascent, the soul reawakens to its eternal essence, drawing closer to the sublime unity of The One—a return to its divine origin, where spirit and source are reconciled in a radiant wholeness.

Who was Hermes Trismegistus?

Hermes Trismegistus, meaning "Hermes the Thrice-Greatest," is a legendary figure central to Hermeticism. He is believed to be a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. Hermes Trismegistus is considered the author of the Hermetic texts and is associated with wisdom, writing, magic, astrology, and alchemy

What is the origin of Hermeticism?

Hermeticism took shape in the spiritual atmosphere of Hellenistic Egypt around 300 BCE, uniting the profound religiosity of Egypt with the philosophical clarity of Greece. Its wisdom is ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus, a luminous figure of ancient knowledge, said to have walked the earth in the era of Moses. This sacred tradition reveals timeless truths about the divine, the cosmos, and the soul’s journey of transformation, offering a path toward higher understanding and spiritual renewal.
