THE WAY OF HERMES — Part 32

The One Law of Truth — The Root of All Reality (Part 1)

Tractate IV — Illuminated Commentary (Section II-A)

Hermes asks Poimandres:

“What is the law that governs all things?”

Poimandres answers:

All things come from One.
All things return to One.

This is the Hermetic Prime Law —
the foundation beneath every philosophy, science, and religion.

Unity is not an idea.
Unity is the structure of existence.

The many are expressions of the One.
Diversity is God discovering Itself through experience.

🧠 KEY INSIGHT (Part 1)

Separation is illusion.
Oneness is reality.

When the Lie of Separation rules:

• Fear increases

• Conflict spreads

• Identity shrinks

• Meaning disappears

When the Truth of Unity awakens:

• Peace arises

• Connection deepens

• Identity expands

• Life reveals purpose

🌟 What This Means for the Soul

You are not a fragment.
Not a mistake.
Not a random accident.

You are a unique expression
of the One Divine Mind.

And everything you meet
is also the One
in another form.

Hermes teaches:

“To love God, love the One —
which is everything.”

🔥 Modern Spiritual Application

If all is One…

• To harm another is to harm yourself

• To judge another is to judge yourself

• To awaken yourself is to awaken the world

This is cosmic responsibility.

The more you know yourself,
the more you recognize yourself in all.

✨ Activation Practice (Part 1)

Place hand on chest.
Feel your heartbeat.

Whisper:

“The One is in me.
I am in the One.”

You just aligned your heart
to the Truth behind all truths.

---

❓ Reflective Question

Where in your life
do you still feel separate —
from others or from the Divine?

That is where the Law of Truth is
calling for recognition.
