Hermes Connects To The Mind Of God
Sep
It is time for us to advance our knowledge of the Hermetica and one cool place to start is the Poemander or the Divine Pymander.This amazing piece of writing Hermes tells of speaking with the Mind of God and you follow a conversation he has with the creator. This writing has an energetic component, the mere process of reading or listening to it seems to awaken long lost portions of your inner power and genius. These older texts went far beyond histories into the realm of transformation.
Hermes was a man who lived and breathed on this planet, centuries before Moses, in the land of Egypt. It is supposed that he was a king of Egypt, before the inclusion of the Pharaoh, and he was the teacher of all the spiritual Masters that lived. Not only that, but he was the teacher of Gods. And so, some time after his death, he was deified by the Egyptians and the Greeks. In Greek Mythology he is known to hold many roles.
From Wikipedia, we read the following in relation to those roles: “He protects and takes care of all the travelers, miscreants, harlots, old crones and thieves that pray to him or cross his path. He is the messenger of the gods and does his job very well. He is athletic and is always looking out for runners, or any athletes with injuries who need his help. Hermes is a messenger from the gods to humans, sharing this role with Iris. An interpreter who bridges the boundaries with strangers is a hermeneus. Hermes gives us our word “hermeneutics” for the art of interpreting hidden meaning. In Greek a lucky find was a hermaion. Hermes delivered messages from Olympus to the mortal world. He wears shoes with wings on them and uses them to fly freely between the mortal and immortal world.
Hermes, younger than Apollo, was the youngest of the Olympian gods. “Hermes, as an inventor of fire, is a parallel of the Titan, Prometheus. In addition to the syrinx and the lyre, Hermes was believed to have invented many types of racing and the sport of wrestling, and therefore was a patron of athletes.
