So the first thing is, again, the flame and the circle.

Remember, flame and circle over and over again.

Now, Ryan, pull up what I have highlighted for what's called, from the Hermetica, it's the vision of Hermes.

Okay, now...

Hermeticism, which we'll get into in a minute, is based on an ancient, ancient understanding that disseminated from this.

And it's based on an understanding of natural law and how things in the universe function.

We'll explain how that got to that point, okay?

Just stay with me here for a minute.

This passage of all of Hermeticism, of every teaching, whether it's the Kabbalion or the Hermetica, it doesn't matter—

This is the most important passage of all.

And I always had focused on it.

And we talked about it last time.

I've always focused on it and been enamored by it.

And it says, and Hermes is talking to Source, the great dragon God, right?

Of everything.

He says, I wish to understand the nature of God and the nature of man, right?

And if you look right here, he says, it says right here, the answer is there is no difference between the nature of God and the nature of man.

There's one.

The second thing is, he says, God and man, mankind, is made up of only two things.

Light and life.
