The tenets of Hermetica West,
therefore,
represent a contemporary flowering of the sacred
wisdom tradition that has always served to inspire
poets,
artists, mystics, scientists & philosophers
throughout the ages. It is the express wish & purpose
of those associated with Hermetica West to further
advance
the cause & universal spirit of Hermeticism in
such a way that will ultimately help contribute to a
Global Renaissance of unheralded proportions, such as to bring to fruition many of the prophetic dreams of the ancient seers & philosophers of antiquity. The prospects for our "global village"
remain to be seen, but let us be inspired perhaps by
the kind of "free thinking" reminiscent
of the ancient city of Athens. To this end, may our
Hermetic "cyberport" serve as a convenient launchpad
to help steer the casual passerby or
philosophically-minded sojourner to the virtual
heights of Wisdom & Understanding! Yea, and may it
yet serve to invoke a deeper sense of connection with
the god-force within, so as to propel the spirit
of the dedicated aspirant to the very summit of Mount
Olympus, the legendary home of the gods! Indeed, no
matter what aspect of the divine may emerge from
within us, it is we for whom the gods exist. To
paraphrase upon the wisdom of the
Emerald Tablet, if the seed
of the god-force be in each one of us, then verily must it
follow upon the olde adage that: "...as above, so
below...". In other words, only as we learn to mirror
the divine can it ever truly begin to manifest in us.
Such is the nature of the eternal knowledge that
leads to the inner sanctuary of
Hermes.
