THE WAY OF HERMES — Part 5
The Moment of Awakening: The Return of the Soul to the Light
Poimandres — Illuminated Commentary (Section V)
There comes a moment in every soul’s journey
when the inner Light breaks through —
and the human suddenly remembers.
Hermes experiences this directly:
He is overwhelmed with divine radiance
and cries out:
“I have seen the Light that is in me!”
This is the true spiritual rebirth.
Not a ritual.
Not a belief.
But a realization.
🧠 KEY INSIGHT
Enlightenment is remembering the Light
you have always been.
🜂 What Happens at Awakening?
-
The heart expands
-
The mind becomes clear
-
Fear begins to lose its grip
-
The world reveals deeper meaning
You see:
-
Why you are here
-
Who you truly are
-
Where you are returning
This is Gnosis —
direct knowing of the divine self.
🌟 How the Soul Rises Back
Poimandres teaches:
The soul rises through the same seven spheres
it once descended
but this time:
✔ releasing fear
✔ releasing judgment
✔ releasing ego
✔ releasing attachment
The Archons now bow
to the rising Light of the awakened soul.
What once ruled you
now serves you.
🔥 Modern Spiritual Meaning
Awakening is:
-
A shift of identity
from human → divine -
A shift of power
from fate → will -
A shift of source
from outside → within
Once this shift begins,
there is no going back.
The soul will return
to its eternal freedom.
✨ Activation Practice
Say gently:
“I ascend in Light,
guided by the Mind of God.”
Inhale — feel the crown of your head lift.
Exhale — feel your heart widen.
The ascent has already begun.
❓ Reflective Question for Readers
