Go to https://beyondhomosapien.com/ to learn more about Hermetic philosophy, Alchemy, magic, and the development of superpowers.
In this episode, we will explore the fascinating connection
between Hermetic philosophy and alchemy. We will delve into a bit
of the history of alchemy and how it emerged as a way to achieve
spiritual transformation. We will discuss the central tenets of
alchemy and how they align with the teachings of Hermetic
philosophy. At the end of the day, these are all the same Esoteric
belief system that dates back to Atlantis.
For more information on the ancient belief system of Atlantis and
the ancient world, check out this
book "Anacalypsis" by Hermeticist Godfrey Higgins.
Whether we are talking about Gnosticism, Hermetic philosophy,
Freemasonry, Alchemy, the Kabbalah, or Rosicrucianism, we are
discussing the ancient practices of reality creation and the
teaching that man can be "one with god". This viewpoint that
mankind was divine was deemed heretical by the Church during the
time of the Inquisition. As a result, the church began to demonize
the esoteric philosophies and created the need for an "underground"
philosophy. Thus, a "living language for the disciple of Hermes"
was created and alchemy was born.
On this episode, we will also delve into the symbolism of alchemy and how it relates to the journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. We will discuss the concept of the "philosopher's stone," which was believed to be a substance that could grant eternal life and enlightenment to those who possessed it. Was this actually possible? What does the allegory of the philosophers stone mean?
Finally, we will examine the role of the divine in alchemy and
how it relates to the broader themes of unity and balance in
Hermetic philosophy. Whether you are a seasoned expert in Hermetic
philosophy or new to the subject, this episode will provide a rich
and rewarding exploration of the connections between these two
fascinating traditions.
