Хубаво четиво за начинаещи по темата, но ако вече вървите по пътя на себепознанието през които и да е негови аспекти - книжката вероятно ще ви се стори базисна и ще имате импулс да я прегледате избирателно вместо да я четете подробно.

The first part of this book, which is divided into three sections, shouts out to Hermetic author Hermes Trismegistus, Egyptian God Thoth, and Freemason author Manly P. Hall, who was inspired by Hermeticism.

Trismegistus's Hermeticism, from around 100 C.E., is monotheistic and denounces godlessness while agreeing that bad karma should injure one's fate. Some concepts introduced include: Logos or reason, mentalism, and manifesting the mental into the material world.

The second part of the book is devoted to explaining The Seven Hermetic Principles. The last of these is the Principle of Gender, and this chapter has an interesting analogy about atoms. An atom is created when electrons (negative) are drawn to a nucleus, which is created from protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral). I found this metaphor interesting since I often tell other people that I am "neutral at worst," and overall a positive person who "likes to keep things light." As it turns out, these are a masculine qualities.

The third and final part of the book has short chapters on astrology, alchemy, and magic.

Overall, this was an interesting find. I think I may have gotten some new insights into my research.

Това наистина е малка книга, която обаче описва добре херметичните принципи. Принципи, над които вероятно всеки от нас се е замислял в определен момент от живота си. Принципи, които вероятно ще осъзнаете, че се срещат под една или друга форма в различните религии и системи от убеждения.
Авторката се е постарала да разясни как всъщност действа всичко, до колкото и как идеите на Хермес Трисмегист са приложими в ежедневието ни и какво можем да направим, за да разширим съзнанието си и да спомогнем себеусъвършенстването си.
Бих препоръчала книгата на всеки, който си задава въпроси за това как работи вселената.
