Hey folks, thought I would share some links pertaining to the one and only Hermes Trismegistus the father of alchemy and hermetic philosophy. Quite the interesting "man". Anyways there is plenty of esoteric knowledge within these links and I will allow them to speak for themselves. Very intriguing stuff. Hope you all enjoy!

Thanks for the links JCpenny420. I’m sure I’ve heard Terrence McKenna and possibly Alan Watts mention Hermetic philosophy in the past but I’m unfamiliar with the links you have provided. Very interesting read!

Thanks for the links! I've heard of the emerald tablet a bit, never studied it and also heard a lecture about the kybalion.. Im gonna check this out right now!

JCpenny420 · Dec 15, 2019

Yea it's a great topic. There are so many videos about it on youtube also. Hermes thrice great was said to have reincarnated 3 times. As above, so below.

The Hermetica has long been on my reading list but I haven't made it there yet. It's been said that all of Western thought is merely footnotes to Plato. So I've been concentrating on Plato. I'm a slow reader.

The metaphors are the backbone of the kybalon and the tablets. The secrets are guarded by them, only the most perceptive will be able to ascertain the secrets within. The unworthy and not so perceptive do not deserve to know the mysteries of life. One must put in the work to be granted the keys.

I myself had to read, re read and read again to understand much of it.

Try again, good luck! The knowledge is there for anyone to see, if perceptive enough.

Thank for this. I have no prior experience reading this and will treasure it.

The Kybalion is awesome if one desired to read the philosophy in simple terms

Perhaps not. Perhaps one should read Popper

Thanks for sharing. If anyone is interested in exploring this further, I stumbled on a really amazing 4-part series on spotify by CreativeCodex called “Carl Jung & Alchemy”. It is mostly focused on Jung’s life and work leading up to the red book but draws some really interesting connections to alchemy and hermetic philosophy.
