THE WAY OF HERMES — Part 11
The Breath of God & The Animation of the Soul
Tractate II — Illuminated Commentary (Section V)
Hermes is shown how the Divine Mind awakens the human soul:
God breathes Life into the soul
and the soul becomes aware.
Breath is the bridge:
-
Between body and spirit
-
Between conscious and unconscious
-
Between Earth and Heaven
The breath is the signature of God
moving through you — right now.
🧠 KEY INSIGHT
Every inhale is God remembering you.
Every exhale is you remembering God.
Breath reveals:
-
You are alive
-
You are sustained
-
You are connected
-
You are more than a body
As long as there is breath:
the soul is present.
🜂 The Triple Nature of Breath
| Breath Function | Spiritual Meaning |
|---|---|
| Inhale | Receiving divine Light |
| Holding | Becoming One with that Light |
| Exhale | Sharing Light with the world |
Breath is prayer
without words.
Hermes teaches that breath is
the movement of consciousness
through the vessel of flesh.
🌟 When Breath Awakens the Soul
If breath becomes aware:
This is the Hermetic Activation
built into your very biology.
Awakening is not somewhere else
— it is happening as you breathe.
🫁 🔥 Guided Hermetic Breath Practice
(30–60 seconds — do while reading)
1️⃣ Sit comfortably
2️⃣ Place hand over heart
3️⃣ Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 seconds
→ Imagine pure Light filling your chest
4️⃣ Hold for 2 seconds
→ “I AM Light”
5️⃣ Exhale gently for 6 seconds
→ Release fear, tension, and doubt
Repeat 3 times.
Feel the shift.
That shift is the soul awakening
— the Breath of God inside you.
❓ Reflective Question
What emotion changes
when you breathe with awareness?
Notice it.
Honor it.
That is Light transforming you.
