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
