Hermes Trismegistus

"He is too great to be called by the name "God." His is hidden, yet obvious everywhere. He is bodiless, yet embodied in everything. There is nothing that he is not. He has no name, because all names are His name. He is the unity in all things, so we must know him by all names and call everything "God."

"To simply love God in thought with singleness of heart, and to follow the Goodness of his will - this is philosophy, unsullied by intrusive cravings for pointless opinions."

"Birth is no the beginning of life - only of an individual awareness. Change into another state is not death - only the ending of this awareness. Most people are ignorant of the Truth, and therefore afraid of death, believing it to be the greatest of all evils. But death is only the dissolution of a worn out body. Out term of service as guardians of the world is ended when we are freed from the bonds of this mortal frame and restored, cleansed, and purified, to the primal condition of our higher nature."

- Hermes Trismegistus

I am currently reading the Golden Builders, which is a historical look of the influences of Hermetic Philosophy, the Rosicrucian's and Freemasonry.

The Hermetic Philosophy and enigmatic figure of Hermes (real or mythical) is really touching something deep within me. It's as if my soul or spirit is "remembering" it as I read about it. It is a most interesting (right word? I don't know) experience to say the least. I think that with certainty I have found the next path in the many branched tree of my life-changing gnostic journey.

Peace to all and a belated Merry Christmas
