The 7 Hermetic Principles
1. The Principle of Mentalism: "The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental". This suggests that the universe is a mental creation of a higher power and that reality is constructed through thoughts. 2. The Principle of Correspondence: "As above, so below; as below, so above". This principle suggests a resonance between the physical, mental, and spiritual planes. The microcosm mirrors the macrocosm, such as cells reflecting a body or planetary systems. 3. The Principle of Vibration: "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates". Everything in the universe—from matter to thoughts—is in a state of vibration, with higher frequencies associated with positive emotions and lower frequencies with denser, slower states. 4. The Principle of Polarity: "Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites". Opposites are, in fact, identical in nature but differ in degree (e.g., hot and cold are just different temperatures). 5. The Principle of Rhythm: "Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides". This principle explains that everything moves like a pendulum—what goes up must come down, highlighting the cyclic nature of life, emotions, and events. 6. The Principle of Cause and Effect: "Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause". There is no such thing as chance or luck; everything happens according to Law, meaning we can master our own reactions to create a new reality. 7. The Principle of Gender: "Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles". This applies to all planes—physical, mental, and spiritual—requiring a balance of both energies for creation, growth, and personal development.
