The Hermetic Way of Life
Life is for living. This is a dictum. In a nutshell, it sums up the meaning of life very well. You as an individual energy who want to have a spiritual experience on planet Earth in the role of a human being, do so by living an earth life. THWOL is this way of life and CAN be a way for you to live this life. Just as when you play a parlor game for which rules are set from the outset, special rules also apply to you as a Holy Soul when you live through an earthly life in the Cosmic Universe - and broken down into the planetary system Earth. You are in this vast, seemingly endless hermetic space Cosmic Universe of which you are a child because - you are created in it. You have chosen to have your experiences on planet Earth in its special dimension to feel, what it's like to be human. And to learn and develop your character through the experience of "love and sorrow". Why else would you want to put yourself through all those dramas of "love and pain", if you don't have a valid reason for it - which is to develop yourself. Why do you want to develop? For love of yourself! For you as a Holy Soul self-love plays an important role. And if you live your life as a human being on planet Earth, nothing changes. Just as you - if you play a parlor game - stick to the rules of the game, in order to achieve the best possible game result for you. That's how helpful it is for you rules of the game for the "game of life" on planet Earth, must be observed. This can be important for your successes in life. How this success looks like in your life, is up to you to decide because you are your own master. No one but you knows as much about yourself as you do. Sometimes it matters more or less how much you know about yourself and your nature. I recently read, that there is this ancient mystical view that souls would "drink from the river of oblivion" before incarnating. I like this picture very much because I love to think and formulate in pictures. Based on my life experience in this incarnation, I can confirm, that some things remain hidden for a while or "rest in oblivion". But everything you need to know and experience about yourself, will be revealed to you when the time comes that you need to know. Nothing that is important for you to know remains hidden from you. Your life is FOR you - NOT AGAINST you because YOU have forged this plan of your life. Now I want to make the connection to the “game of life”. Just as you are well advised to know the rules of a parlor game, it is fine and very helpful for you to know, which rules apply to you - as well as to every fellow creature and every fellow human being - in the "game of life" on planet Earth. If you are well informed your life can be easier, if you observe the prevailing circumstances and laws. Why put obstacles in your own way when this is avoidable? That makes no sense. Unless, you want to slow down and every few years accumulated enough stones to build you a house. Jokes aside - it's not meant to be that funny. THWOL means your life path as an individual energy Holy Soul which comes from the Cosmic Universe - under the natural laws of this hermetic space, which specify the active principles and the resulting active mechanisms. For you - for me - for all of us, who live a life as individual energy here on planet Earth living is complex. You have your inner world and you have what you perceive to be your outer world. You are embedded in a family system. In addition, you are involved in what appears to be a very complex environment. Under your feet Mother Earth and above you the sky. And then all THAT, that takes place up there where you can't even look because your borders are the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds. You think you know a lot about yourself and your environment, about the sky, and about the universe. In many ways you are like the scientists and researchers who are trying to bring more and more light into those fields of the environment and the cosmos, where much is still unknown. You assume without being sure about some things. This is normal and part of being human. It is a great challenge - and it requires great courage - to go into this dimension on planet Earth, to gain experience here. Living a human life is complex. Add to that the challenge for the human spirit to take all THAT seriously. After all, what sense would it make to live this life and not take it to the full? If you perceive all THAT as not real, if you perceive all this as not, you would have a massive problem in yourself to take your earthly experiences to the full and to utilize them. You are here as an individual energy who wants to have a spiritual experience on planet Earth in the role of a human being, to develop your character and not to make you have a nice day. If someone really want to have a nice time, he should stay at home in the spirit world and does not expose himself to a reality, in which he must deal with water - shelter - hate - war. You don't need all of this on an energetic level to exist. Unless you want to mature in character and – gain wisdom. In the spirit world it is like here on planet Earth: If you make yourself comfortable in your TV chair, which is in your beloved comfort zone, with ice-cold coke and cookies, try to watch the telly all day long and put your feet up, you will be accurate learn zero percent. You stay where you are and don't have any experiences other than those, you've had from this same procedure for years: Always the same because always comfortable - always warm - always enough to drink and eat, and always telly. It just doesn't get you anywhere. If you stay in your comfort zone both in the spirit world and in a life on planet Earth, you will not develop. You are left to yourself and at the mercy of yourself.
Now you have courageously decided to go into a life on planet Earth, in order to learn properly and experience something properly ... . You incarnate in a family system that belongs to a certain culture, which in turn is connected to different rites and beliefs. You are born into a certain Zeitgeist - and as a result become a child of your time. You are confronted with existing as a human and you are exposed, to what that society in which you incarnate into considers "good or bad." Your parents have expectations of you that you are expected to meet, but deep within yourself, you have an inkling of why you are walking this earth life. You may have an idea of what "the whole thing" is supposed to be here - or not. Depending on how much water you "drank from the river of oblivion", you are more or less in the picture about yourself and what you want to achieve in this life. However - first of all you stand on your own two feet. You yourself are the basic prerequisite for your success in life. If you have incarnated within the last hundred years - the chance is high that this is the case :-) - you were born into an extremely conditioned society. On the one hand, this conditioning rubs off on you through the family in which you are incarnated. On the other hand, the Zeitgeist rubs off on you. Even the rippling Zeitgeist, carries in its energy colorings of the current level of conditioning of the entire human family. Where the epoch of active colonization of different regions of the world and peoples was already a massive conditioning campaign of the power system, that had been in office for more than 2000 years, the conditioning of national peoples towards their passivity and obeying authorities is a further stage of development. Although I love politics, in this text I will not go into political regulations and deeper topics, that take up the possibilities of manipulation by the prevailing political power apparatus. For your sake and – for my sake. I just don't want "1000 and 1" subchapters :-). Anyway. You incarnated into a massively conditioned society, which of course makes sense for you and your experience process. If you as a Holy Soul did not want to have this experience, you would not have incarnated here at this time - in this very human family - under this Zeitgeist - in just that family, into which you have entered. What changes in the course of colonization, and the conditioning, and flowering of diverse religious institutions, are the natural laws of the hermetic space Cosmic Universe. Where colonization was supposed to take the people away from their land - but also from their culture and the related natural beliefs - escalation level two (namely the conditioning of civilized living industrialized country residents) has ensured, that people are further and further away from themselves to bring outside. Why? I won't delve into that here either. However, I can state that a person who drifts further and further away from himself to the outside, is weak and less in his own strength. Weak peoples are easier to govern than peoples, whose citizens are intellectually high and cultivate a healthy self-awareness. To come back to THWOL, I want to address the Hermetic Law and its Seven Hermetic Legalities. Cosmic Universe equals hermetic space, equals Hermetic Law, equals Seven Hermetic Laws, equals working principles, equals working mechanisms, equals: THWOL. Before I talk about "The Hermetic Law" and its Seven Hermetic Legalities, I want to summarize again, that you came to planet Earth as an emotionally intelligent individual energy - which is a child of the hermetic space Cosmic Universe - in order to play the role of a human being, to have a spiritual experience. I want to emphasize very clearly: This experience that you have as a human being, is the spiritual experience itself. This spiritual experience is what you want to experience. In principle you do not need external spiritual currents, or that power system associated spiritual worlds, to experience being human as a human being. And - many millions of people feel the same way. It is those who say of themselves that they need neither esotericism nor NEW AGE - and certainly no religion to live their lives. These people say of themselves, that they are already human - and that is enough for them what they have to cope with. Likewise these people say, they don't need anything to hype up their lives and certainly not constructs of spiritual origin wafting around them. To be human, these people say, is enough for them. They are what makes them special and - THAT IS enough for them. I myself think that this view of life as a human being is recommendable. You exist as a human being in this dimension on this planet Earth - in this environment. As this person, you go through your life. You have everything you need for your “life as a human being” expedition in your luggage. You are perfectly equipped. You don't need extra worlds or external spiritual concepts, because for yourself “experiencing life as a human” is your spiritual experience. "The Hermetic Law" along with its associated Seven Hermetic Legalities provides the framework and conditions, under which THWOL takes place. "Modern Realism" - of which I spoke in the preface - is an attitude towards life which results from knowledge. Realization, that a person gains while applying and recognizing the Seven Hermetic Laws to their life as “working”. I'll write you something extra about Modern Realism in a so-called chapter. "The Hermetic Law" arrived on Mother Earth a good thirteen thousand years ago, in the planetary system Earth. At certain intervals of time messengers came into the Earth system, to gently but emphatically remind the human family of their original faith and "The Hermetic Law". Depending on the time and culture there were - and still are - a wide variety of names for these currents of faith, and presentations of the Hermetic Law. In their essence, the philosophies and perspectives are the same - only the respective cultures once gave their color to the same. What you will now be reminded of in 2023 is The Hermetic Law for what it is: That natural law of the Cosmic Universe, which has the same effect on all Holy Souls - regardless of which culture, which nation, which gender, which skin colour, which faith or religion, they belong to. Works because you are what you actually are: An individual energy, that originates from the Cosmic Universe and is therefore natively subject to the natural laws of the hermetic space Cosmic Universe. For you as a human being, it is helpful to know The Hermetic Law including its Seven Hermetic Legalities and to apply them to your life. If you want this yourself. This hermetic law formulates the rules of the Cosmic Universe, which apply to all energies that live a life on planet Earth, as a human being or fellow creature - including you. As a result I am now including the second chapter for you which has “The Hermetic Law” as its subject and content.
