THE WAY OF HERMES — Part 25
The Sacred Gift of Mind — The God Within Humanity
Tractate III — Illuminated Commentary (Section XII)
Hermes asks:
“How does the human reflect the divine?”
Poimandres reveals the sacred answer:
The Mind of a human is the Mind of God
expressed through an individual soul.
The Mind is:
-
The image of the Divine
-
The bridge between Spirit and body
-
The seat of perception and creation
-
The throne of the soul
Mind is where God and human meet.
🧠 KEY INSIGHT
To awaken the Mind
is to awaken the God within.
This isn’t metaphor.
It is the core Hermetic truth:
You think as a human.
But your ability to think
comes from God.
🌟 The Three Functions of Sacred Mind
According to Hermes, the awakened Mind:
| Function | Description | Divine Role |
|---|---|---|
| Knowing | Recognizes truth | The Eye of Light |
| Reason | Understands order and beauty | The Wisdom of God |
| Intention | Directs creation | The Will of God |
When these function in harmony,
the Mind becomes a divine instrument.
🜂 Fallen Mind vs. Awakened Mind
| Fallen Mind | Awakened Mind |
|---|---|
| Confused | Clear |
| Reactive | Sovereign |
| Fear-based | Insightful |
| Seeks validation | Knows truth |
| Limited identity | Infinite identity |
Same Mind —
two different states of consciousness.
🔥 Modern Spiritual Application
Treat your mind
like sacred space.
Your thoughts are not random —
they are creative commands
that shape your destiny.
Feed your Mind:
-
Light
-
Beauty
-
Truth
-
Purpose
This is your spiritual discipline.
✨ Activation Practice
Touch your forehead gently with two fingers.
Close your eyes.
Say softly:
“I think with the Mind of God.”
Feel awareness widen
like a sky becoming clear after a storm.
This is your real Mind waking up.
❓ Reflective Question
Where have you been
underestimating the power of your own Mind?
That is exactly where
your divine potential is ready to emerge.
