They're messengers of ages.

They basically provide vast wisdom.

During a time when the stability of that age threatens the balance that exists, the messenger and the knowledge through messengers emerges.

meaning that this knowledge will never be allowed to die so what does hermeticism actually mean we're going to get into that in a second yeah hold on you're jumping ahead just a little bit too far here um we're going to go all over hermeticism in a second

Hermeticism, well, I guess I'll do it right now.

So hermeticism is based on the oldest knowledge that exists, period.

It's what we used to consider to be the truth of everything in reality.

It's based on what's called natural law.

So it's understanding how the universe functions, understanding how every relationship functions.

As above, so below.

As within, so without.

That's based on an understanding of relationships, meaning that there is no separation between this and above.

Everything's like a great stage or a play, right?

Everything's all working together like an orchestra, right?

all like music instruments are playing some beautiful beautiful play that we're acting on we're that we're on the stage of this great play sure balance nature the universe physics yeah and so hermeticism what it was was based on the oldest level of knowledge that existed for how everything functioned and hermes just happened to be the last of those archetypal messenger gods that existed before we sort of left that time period in that age

So he's exactly like Thoth.

You see Thoth, the ibis, right, in Egypt, who is passing all the knowledge.

It's the same thing.

They're essentially, they're not, they may be a real person, but they're an archetype that emerges, that has to.

Meaning that this knowledge is fundamental to the universe.
