THE WAY OF HERMES — Part 12
The Soul’s Immortality & Its Union with the Light
Tractate II — Illuminated Commentary (Section VI)
Hermes receives one of the most powerful revelations
in all of Hermetic spirituality:
The soul cannot die.
The body dissolves.
The ego collapses.
Identity formed from the world fades.
But the soul?
The soul lives forever
because it is made of the same Light as God.
You are not trying to earn eternity —
you are eternity experiencing time.
🧠KEY INSIGHT
Death is not the end —
it is simply the soul taking off its disguise.
Everything temporary falls away:
fear, pain, limitation, the mask of personality.
And what remains is:
You
pure, conscious, and free.
🜂 The Two Lights Become One
Hermes is taught:
-
There is the Divine Light (Source)
-
There is the Soul Light (Your true being)
Awakening is when
these two lights recognize each other
as One Light.
There is no distance
between you and the Divine.
There never was.
🌟 The Fear of Death Dissolves
When the soul knows its nature:
-
Fear becomes impossible
-
Peace becomes natural
-
Freedom becomes permanent
Hermeticism promises:
You will not taste death
because you were never born as flesh
and you will never die as flesh.
You came from Light
and you return to Light
because you are Light.
🔥 Modern Spiritual Application
When you worry about the future:
Ask:
“Does this fear belong to my eternal self?”
It never does.
Eternity thinks differently.
Eternity leads with courage, creation, and joy.
✨ Activation Practice
Speak with conviction:
“The Light in me is everlasting.”
Inhale deeply —
hold for one heart beat —
release into peace.
You just aligned with eternity.
❓ Reflective Question
What would you do differently
if you fully believed
you are an immortal soul
experiencing a temporary world?
That answer = your next evolution.
