The legendary figure of Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes Thrice Great) is the inspiration for the spiritual teachings known as Hermeticism. He is a syncretism (joining) of the Greek deity Hermes, the winged messenger of the Gods, and his Egyptian counterpart, the Ibis-headed moon god Thoth.
The Way of Hermes involved altered states of consciousness in which practitioners went through a training regime that involved luminous visions, spiritual rebirth, cosmic consciousness, and union with the divine beauty of universal goodness and truth to attain the salvational knowledge known as gnosis.

I love your videos man, I miss studying philosophy and this fills the void perfectly
Episteme (Επιστήμη) translates to science not knowledge (Γνώση). The english language rarely lacks when it comes to vocabulary.
Look at all this originality
Thanks!
Literally sounds like Orthodoxy but with different names.
I love all this I’ve always just tried to explain to people knowledge comes from within its a journey that is individual and takes a life time
since i will be the comment that breaks comment number 222…let me ask the subscribers here 2 things 2 think on 2 day.
get it? Question 1) who is 222? what did it mean and what is it beyond the internet? how are you feeling at the exact moment you read the comment knowing i came in intent to honor the hermetic deities only here-
Question 2) whats the point of honoring topics of hermetism- if we cannot comprehend any of thoths thought alone? whats the point of messages if no one is uplifting nor elevating the format of what it is for and who is to come once someone activates it? are we aware it only takes one human to elevate the whole thought yet why arent we learning anything that tools from the hermetic principles have given us….? we have been destroying tablets as crystals yet are we using crystals appropriately? how are we advancing AI technology without even mastering this illuminati ass science first? like…listen here- you never need a mason if you fear them to know that we are low in 2023 than they were with all these principles that human in our day and age dont use.
i dont forgive, fu*k you…222 is like a gun sound for me so 223
aye its crazy to me how in 2023 ,we are still quoting things on the internet verses having ephinanies or intuition that grants fruitful permission to new sciences.
no one is near a new science of thought with thoth alone- leveling on what is what i want to say so…its like are we really in tune with what deities even expect ? 2023 is lost year to them to have me in the comment wondering what tf can you teach me quoting or misquoting legendary text from hermetic deitites?
see i know its here considering ,i dont watch videos that i already had comprehended years ago,and as far as years – i say them as stages cause whats the point of information when these tools havent even been shown how to use?
no ones gift is exactly alike so its confusing students to even be hearing our language at a infancy stage= i mean,how can you elevate your language before your bad behavior and thats the quote of the day right there? elevating your language before your bad behavior? nah
My mind keeps relating this to wave-particle duality and the holographic universe theory particularly the parts relating to Nous
Gnosis, you will be as God. Insanity at best. Evil at worst. Git behind me boi.
🙏
I have been enlightened before, I knew I was god. I also felt as if I knew everything and nothing at all. I had a rebirth and was given forgiveness. After this I chose to become mortal again, I fell into the trap of others acceptance. I wish to understand myself again but I do not know if I am worthy of such knowledge. I am afraid if I transcend again I will not be able to handle it. I am the problem and I struggle with this everyday. I pray I can learn and let go of bodily desire. Thank you for your time listening.
Have you even herd of Thoth's curse or do you not understand in life is no pretend to understand guess you know think could fake your Way pretend to known to even self deceiving even self unknown to even self divided became two the day you one you became two .5 just .5 true divided became two the day you one you became two split a piece of wood I AM there .

I want to be ur pupil 🥲🥹
Leave Hermes alone focus on yourselves.
Quit exposing psychology to herdsmen.
Frightenly relatable! 😐
I bought the hermetic traditions by julius evola. Gotta find time to read it
It's Neo-Platonism plus quasi gnostic horseshit, there saved you 53 minutes of wasting your time
