The 7 Hermetic Principles:
1. The Principle of Mentalism
“The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.”
Everything originates from consciousness
Reality is a projection of Divine Mind (and your mind)
You can reprogram your reality by mastering thought
2. The Principle of Correspondence
“As above, so below; as within, so without.”
Macrocosm mirrors microcosm
Universe is holographic — you are the whole in miniature
Self-work changes the world
3. The Principle of Vibration
“Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”
All things are frequency — thoughts, feelings, matter
You attract what you resonate with
Master your vibration → master your outcomes
4. The Principle of Polarity
“Everything is dual; everything has poles.”
Light & dark, good & evil, masculine & feminine
Opposites are the same thing at different degrees
Alchemy = transmute one into the other (fear → love)
5. The Principle of Rhythm
“Everything flows, out and in…”
Life moves in cycles, waves, seasons
Learn the timing of creation & destruction
Balance = riding the rhythm consciously (not being tossed)
6. The Principle of Cause and Effect
“Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause.”
No coincidences — all action produces a reaction
Become a causal being (not a reactive one)
Karma is not punishment; it’s balance
7. The Principle of Gender
“Gender is in everything…”
All creation involves masculine (logic, action) and feminine (intuition, receptivity)
True power = balance of both within
Divine Union births new realities
