Welcome back to 'Hermetic Dialogues', where we explore the profound wisdom of Hermetic philosophy. Today, we're diving into a fascinating concept that lies at the heart of Hermeticism: the Oneness of God.

The concept of the Oneness of God is a cornerstone of Hermetic thought, found throughout the Corpus Hermeticum and the Asclepius. It's the idea that all of existence, in its infinite variety, stems from and is ultimately united in a single divine source.

This idea is not only a cornerstone of Hermetic thought but also a bridge connecting various mystical and religious traditions with Hermeticism.

Hermeticism, with its ancient Egyptian roots, has captivated the minds of scholars and seekers of wisdom for centuries. Delving into the historical practices of the ancient Hermetists raises intriguing questions about their relevance in our modern era.

The purpose of the Hermetica is to heal the soul from its afflictions and restore the human spirit to its original condition of wholeness and divine consciousness. This is nowadays as relevant for our well-being as it was 2,000 years ago.

Welcome to another episode of 'Hermetic Dialogues'. This time, we're diving into a topic that's sure to captivate anyone interested in ancient wisdom and its modern implications: the Egyptian influences on the Hermetica.

The Hermetica is a collection of Greek texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. These texts have long been studied for their profound philosophical and religious insights. But what's interesting is how recent scholarship has shed new light on their origins.

For years, scholars primarily viewed these texts through the lens of Greek philosophy and early Christian thought. But now, we're seeing a shift in understanding.

Recent studies have revealed that many of the concepts found within the Hermetica have deep roots in ancient Egyptian religion and mythology. It's fascinating to see how these ancient Egyptian ideas have influenced such an important collection of texts.

The main character in the Corpus Hermeticum is Hermes Trismegistus. In ancient Greek religion, Hermes was the messenger of the gods, the patron saint of borders, and of those who had to cross boundaries, such as travelers and shepherds.

Hermes was associated with human activities that require alert intelligence, whether directed toward good or evil ends. Therefore, Hermes was also the patron of orators, poets, men of letters, inventors, and athletes, but also of thieves and liars.

The Way of Hermes or “Hermeticism” can be understood as the religious, spiritual, philosophical, and magical movement or milieu (if not quite a tradition properly, and not exactly a centralized or standardized thing) initiated by Hellenistic (or Hellenically-conversant) Egyptian priests operating in a Hellenistic context and attributed to the mythological figure Hermēs Trismegistos, which produced a series of religious, spiritual, philosophical, and magical texts.

It’s important to note that “Hermeticism” is a term that was only first used to describe such a thing starting in the Renaissance, and was never used in the classical period, whether by people inside or outside this movement; for them, it was just generically “Egyptian”. Hermeticism only started to be seen as its own thing starting in the (specifically Italian) Renaissance with the rediscovery of the Corpus Hermeticum.

Episode 1: What is Hermetic Spirituality?

The Hermetic writings, through wonder and astonishment at the beauty of the cosmos and the efficiency of nature, want to show us the importance of praising and worshiping the God who made all of this. Hermetic literature is ultimately concerned with only one thing: the glorification of and union with God, the source of the All.

In this episode, we go deeper into the question of what Hermetic spirituality is.
