Hermetic
 or
the seven COSMIC PRINCIPLES

(elaborated by Sigrid after studying the Kybalion with the aim to make it understandable for all)

The whole philosophy is based on seven COSMIC PRINCIPLES, which for me together are the LAW OF LIFE.
If you live according to these principles, and not against them, you will find out what a creative power you have.
Thot, the Egyptian God of WISDOM = Hermes Trismegistos, "the thrice great Hermes" of the Greeks,
had once written them on emerald tablets, and thus handed them down to mankind. They were passed on and taught only in secret societies.
"The principles of truth are 7. He who knows and understands them possesses the master key by whose touch all the gates of the temple open. (the Kybalion)
These principles are valid in the whole cosmos, on all levels of BEING. They are ETERNAL and unchangeable.

"When the ears of the disciple are ready to hear, then come the lips to fill them with wisdom".
(from the Kybalion)

The Seven Hermetic Laws

1. the principle of the spirit
Everything is SPIRIT. Everything that surrounds us is spirit. Every life form, every stone, every flower, every human being.
Everything is spirit. You are in reality spiritual in nature.
You create it with your actions, words and thoughts.
( Your reality and all of us together, the reality of our world ).
Spirit is consciousness and energy. Quantum physics has now confirmed this.
Matter is manifested spirit. Matter is created by spirit, it is very dense energy.
Matter is created by causal thoughts and therefore matter is of spiritual origin.
If EVERYTHING is spirit, then EVERYTHING is connected with each other.
EVERYTHING IS ONE.
The source of LIFE is infinite CREATIVE SPIRIT.
CREATION is mental.
SPIRIT rules over matter.
Pay attention to your thoughts - they can create and destroy!
Be aware of your responsibility!
Which thoughts and words come out of you? What do you CREATE thereby?

2. the principle of the correspondences or analogies
As above - so below, as below - so above. As inside - so outside, as outside - so inside.
As in the large - so in the small.
The principle of correspondence is also referred to in the Lord's Prayer. As in heaven so on earth.
For everything that exists in the world, there is a correspondence on every level of existence.
( Your reality in your environment....our reality together in the world ).
You can therefore recognize the big in the small and in the small the big.
And so, how you are inwardly, think and feel you also experience your outside world,
and the outer world experienced by you always corresponds to what you yourself are inwardly:
If you are in HARMONY with yourself, you are equally in HARMONY with the outside world.
When you change, everything around you changes.
Everything that happens outside ALWAYS has to do with you.
What you are, manifests itself in the outside.
In your body, in your family, in your partnerships, in your job, in your free time, in your friends.
Your life is a mirror of your inner self. The way YOU think and feel is how YOU experience your environment.
Do you not like what YOU experience in your environment....change your thinking and feeling.

  3. principle cause and effect
Every cause has an effect - Every effect has a cause.
Every action produces a certain energy, which returns with the same intensity to the starting point, i.e. to the producer.
The effect corresponds to the cause in quality and quantity. Like must produce like.
Action = reaction.
Thereby the cause can be on many levels. Everything happens in accordance with the lawfulness.
Every human being is creator, carrier and overcomer of his destiny.
You reap what YOU sow.
If you sow oats, you get oats, if you sow hate, YOU get hate, if YOU sow love, YOU get love.
Every thought, every feeling, every deed is a cause that has an effect.
So there is no sin, no guilt, no coincidence and no luck,
but only CAUSE and EFFECT, which separate seconds, minutes, hours, days, years,
many centuries and existences apart and
and until they have been accepted by us in LOVE and thus dissolved
and thus have been dissolved, confront us again and again.
Coincidence does not exist. Coincidence is the name for an effect whose cause we do not know.
Every coincidence has a cause and falls to us intentionally.
Why do you have certain characteristics?
Where do your behavior patterns come from?
Consider with all your thinking, feeling, acting the effect.
If you feel hate for someone, hate immediately returns to you in at least the same intensity.
If you want to harm someone (the intention alone counts), you harm yourself in at least the same way!
So let go of hate, anger and fear and open yourself to unconditional TRUST and LOVE.
You alone are responsible for yourself and your experience! You alone carry the responsibility

4. the principle of resonance or attraction
Like attracts like and is reinforced by like.
Unequal repels each other.
Your personal behavior determines your personal circumstances and your entire life circumstances.
Everything in the universe vibrates on different frequencies.
This sends out in each case frequencies with which YOU go into resonance.
You draw energies thereby life circumstances and persons into your life who vibrate similarly with YOU.
Every thought, every word, every feeling carries a very special vibration.
Love, gratitude and joy for example vibrate higher than for example hate, envy and sadness.
Vibration is the carrier that attracts the particular situation.

LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE

Negative thoughts in turn attract negative thoughts and events.
Fears attract what is feared. Darkness attracts darkness, hate attracts hate,
addiction attracts addiction, aggressiveness attracts aggressiveness and leads to strife and violence
- and if we don't stop and turn around, we start a spiral downward,
which leads to depression, despair, unhappiness.
If you want to have different experiences, YOU would do well to change your feelings, thoughts and words.
YOU and only YOU determine on which frequency of vibration YOU want to move.

5. the principle of polarity
Everything has two poles....Everything has an opposite, contrast !
However, all opposites have the same origin ! They are just two sides of the same coin.
Opposites are always identical
Light-----Dark,
Hot------Cold,
Loud -----Quiet,
Good-----Bad,
Right--Wrong,
Light ------Shadow.
There is not one without the other. Everything can be regarded from two sides.
Thus opposites are identical according to your nature, only in the degree of their expression differently.
Just as heat and cold are two poles on a scale,
so are the positive and the negative two extremes, but identical in nature.
The extremes are really just two end points of the same thing.
With many different facets and degrees between the two endpoints...
...so between hot and cold can also be lukewarm
....or between light and dark also dim.
So there is also in every negative a little bit positive
and the more we come to the other end point all of it.
YOU determine on which pole YOU put YOUR attention.
Energy follows YOUR attention.
What do YOU feed when with what?
Flip the pole....the coin if you don't like something in your life....
YOU decide !!!

6. the principle of the rhythm or the vibration
Everything is constantly in motion and everything is subject to a predictable rhythm.
Inhale and exhale, ebb and flow, sunrise and sunset,
day and night, birth and death, action and reaction, high and low, wakefulness and sleep.
Everything is in the flow of time, everything has its perfect rhythm.
Even the Four Seasons carry you through the year with a definite rhythm.
The movement resembles that of a pendulum, which always swings equally strongly to the left as well as to the right.
Everything that tends to the right also tends to the left to the same extent.
The balancing and harmonizing is the rhythm.
If you get the feeling to balance rhythms and not to be dominated by them,
it will be possible for you to avert a constant up and down in YOUR life.
The more conscious you are, the closer you will come to the fulcrum of the pendulum,
and the less you will be affected by its movements.
Life is energy....Energy is constantly in motion. It moves in waves.
Overcome rigidity and live flexibility.!!!!!

7. the principle of gender
Gender manifests on all levels.
Everything has masculine and feminine elements.
Everything is male and female at the same time.
Everything consists of female and male energies.
Every human being carries feminine and masculine energies. YIN and YANG.
They are two ends of the same origin. They are ONE.
You yourself are also male and female at the same time.
The male Yang is active, giving and fiery, the female Yin is passive, waiting and feeling.
You feel well and in harmony with yourself when you keep Yin and Yang in balance.
And live both sides.
Then you are in your center and have the opportunity to overcome the polarity.
  

Each of us possesses creative power.
These seven principles enable you to create life the way you want it to be and the way that is good for you.
When you understand, feel and internalize all seven principles,
you will receive the "master key".
You will come to realizations and deep insights.
Always apply everything with love.
It is work, mental work, but it is worth it....For EVERYONE !!!!!
