According to Hermetic teachings, it is possible to transform your reality by applying the 7 Hermetic Principles. Here is how each of them can be used:
“The Whole is Mind; the Universe is Mental. Everything that surrounds us is the result of a mental state that precedes it. Thoughts create conditions and determine our existence. So to transform your reality, be aware of your thoughts, keeping them directed towards your goals, and external reality will be reflected in this sense.
“As above, so below, and as below, so above.” There is a correspondence between the different planes of reality. Our thoughts and emotions reflect the great truths of the universe. What we encounter externally is a mirror of our inner self. Live in alignment with this principle, being aware of the energy you emit into the world. Let’s explore this correspondence in more detail:
“Nothing stands still, everything moves, everything vibrates.” Everything in the universe, from matter to spirit, differs primarily due to the speed at which it vibrates. This includes not only physical objects, but also thoughts, emotions, and energies. The difference between the various manifestations of matter, energy, mind, and spirit results primarily from the different frequencies of vibration. Raise your vibrations through positive thoughts, emotions, and actions, knowing that you are the co-creator of your reality.
The Universal Vibration – This aligns with the modern scientific understanding that all matter, from subatomic particles to galaxies, is in constant motion.
Vibration Frequencies:
According to Hermeticism, the differences between the various manifestations of matter, energy, mind, and spirit result from different frequencies of vibration. This suggests a continuous scale of vibration, from the densest forms of matter to the subtlest manifestations of energy and spirit.
The Connection with String Theory:
String theory, an active area of research in theoretical physics, proposes that the fundamental particles of the universe are actually tiny one-dimensional filaments of vibrating energy, called strings. This theory suggests that:
All fundamental particles and forces are manifestations of a single type of object: vibrating strings.
The different vibrations of these strings give rise to the different particles and forces that we observe in the universe.
Just as different musical notes are produced by different vibration patterns in a guitar string, different particles are produced by different vibration patterns of these fundamental strings.
“Everything is dual, everything has two poles, everything has its opposite. Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree. Transcend duality, seek synthesis and balance between extremes.
The Principle of Polarity states that everything in the universe has an opposite. These opposites are, in reality, extremes of the same essence, with gradual variations between them. For example, hot and cold are extremes of the temperature spectrum, and love and hate are extremes of the emotional spectrum.
Temperature: Hot and cold are extremes of the same phenomenon, temperature. There is no clear line where hot becomes cold; it is a gradual transition.
Emotions: Love and hate are extremes of the emotional spectrum. Often, these emotions can morph into each other, showing that they are different degrees of the same thing.
Light and Darkness: Light and dark are extremes of the light spectrum. Darkness is simply the absence of light.
“Everything flows, outward and inward, everything has its tides. There is an ebb and flow, a pendulum swing manifest in everything. Be prepared for the cycles and phases of life, anticipating the next wave.
Rhythm manifests itself in various aspects of life and the universe:
In nature: seasonal cycles, moon phases, ocean tides.
In life: cycles of birth, growth, decline and death.
In economics: periods of prosperity and recession.
In emotions: alternation between happiness and sadness, enthusiasm and discouragement.
Hermeticists believe that it is possible to transcend, to some extent, the effects of the Principle of Rhythm. This is done through understanding and applying the “Law of Neutralization.”. This law involves:
Recognize rhythm in action.
Mentally polarize yourself at the desired point.
Allow the rhythm to manifest itself on the opposite plane, but mentally stay at the chosen point.
This practice requires awareness, will, and mental mastery, and is considered an advanced skill in Hermetic philosophy.
“Every cause has its effect, every effect has its cause.” Nothing escapes the Law, although there are many planes of causality. Take responsibility for your actions, understanding that what you are today is the result of what you did yesterday.
The Principle of Cause and Effect establishes that everything in the universe is subject to this law. Every event, action or thought has a cause that precedes it and an effect that follows it. This implies that nothing happens by chance; everything is the result of a chain of events and actions.
Health and Lifestyle: If you neglect your diet and exercise (cause), you are likely to experience health problems (effect). On the other hand, taking good care of your body (cause) results in better health and well-being (effect).
Interpersonal Relationships: Treating others with respect and kindness (cause) usually results in harmonious and positive relationships (effect). Negative actions, such as lack of respect, can lead to conflict and disagreements (effect).
“Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles.” These principles always work toward generation, regeneration, and creation. Balance the masculine energies of action with the feminine energies of reception within yourself.
Physical Plane: On the physical plane, the principle of gender manifests itself as sex, with masculine and feminine characteristics present in all living beings.
Mental Plane: On the mental plane, the gender principle manifests itself as masculine qualities (rationality, logic, action) and feminine qualities (intuition, creativity, receptivity).
Spiritual Plane: On the spiritual plane, the principle of gender manifests as creative and regenerative forces operating in harmony.
By following these principles consciously and consistently, you will have the keys to shaping your destiny and creating the reality you desire.
