Are they important? Actually, they may be the most important principles ever put to paper. At least the Secret and Sacred Societies think so. Next question, are the Secret and Sacred Societies important?
Let’s see. Practically every world leader, past and present, is a member of one of these societies, including the majority of Royal Family members and U.S. Presidents. So yes, I believe they are critically important.
I will not get into the depths of the Hermetic Principles here, though there is plenty online if you are interested. Instead, I will focus on the first principle, as it is the beginning.
The all is mind. Everything is mental. In other words, we create reality with our thoughts.
Do we have proof of this?
Why yes, yes we do. It’s called Quantum Physics, also known as Quantum Mechanics or Quantum Theory, and in summary, it tells us that the universe is energy and that we create reality from our observations and judgments. There are many online articles and videos explaining this, though few are understandable without an advanced math degree. Dr. Quantum, however, explains it simply and in about five minutes here.
How important is Quantum Physics in our modern world? Let’s put it this way, practically every modern device in our world depends upon it. Without it, we wouldn’t be in a horse and buggy, but we wouldn’t be far from it.
Does that mean the universe, Earth, and my body are not real?
The mind makes them real. The experiences are real, which is the entire reason we are here in the first place. And to have these experiences, we need a body, and the soul is the energy that binds the two together. The mind, however, is expansive, limitless, you might say.
Which is why every time we build a more powerful microscope, we find smaller and smaller bits that we say are the primary building blocks of reality, just as when we build a more powerful telescope, you get the picture.
So what was the first-ever thing? A thought, or possibly a feeling, an emotion?
Just as every event, everything you own, every experience you’ve had, began with a thought, a feeling, or an emotion. Even the so-called spontaneous events that take place in our lives are merely triggers or catalysts that begin the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that then create our lives and the world we live in.
So this first thought, feeling, or emotion, this first energy, this awakening, is the Infinite Creator, Source, The All, God, etc. From this energy, the first division was defined, and masculine and feminine were separated. (I will get into this division in detail in later articles.)
Therefore, when masculine and feminine are rejoined to create, the Creator, The All, Consciousness, the mind, body, and soul are recreated in this density and dimension of the universe, which is, in itself, the creation of The All is Mind, or consciousness. The soul is the splinter of the All that separates from itself to experience its creation. The soul is you, as well as every conscious being in the multiverse, in every state of density and dimension, beyond imagination.
Though not all have activated souls, most are unconscious of it, though some have chosen. (More depth in later articles.)
Here on Earth, a school of the heart, we come to experience emotion, to activate our souls, to learn and grow, to test our character that we may activate our power tools, so to speak, the gifts of higher consciousness that come with awakening to your power, as every person has access to the Clairs activated when each of the upper Chakras is opened.
The chakras
The Heart Chakra opens Clairsentience, the Throat Chakra opens Clairaudience, the Third Eye Chakra opens Clairvoyance, and the Crown Chakra opens Claircognizance, or access to your higher self, the actual player playing the game, your future self, so to speak.
When fully activated, you will have far more than the five physical senses limiting us to the physical world of illusion. The Chakras have been downplayed by science, yet each Chakra has a cluster of neurons, not unlike those found in the brain, with the solar plexus, heart, and head Chakras being the largest clusters.
Fun fact, the Heart Chakra sends ten times the signals to the head as the head sends to the heart. The heart (soul) is the master Chakra that blends the signals coming from your three higher Chakras (Throat, Third Eye, and Crown) and the three lower Chakras (Root, Sacral, and Solar Plexus), although you must activate the full line to the Crown for the heart to have access to its fullest power, which is a truth that holds for every Chakra.
This energy system, the human form, was created and evolved from the natural species native to this planet, though only a second-level consciousness being. The alien species involved in this tinkering were not only off-world but on Earth and within the Earth as well.
This tinkering and evolution shifted our bodies toward a higher frequency of consciousness, moving us into the Third Density of Consciousness (Time/Space), within the Third Dimension of Space/Time.
The Shift that is coming is our shift to the next Density of Consciousness as Mother Earth is shifting to this higher energy, and it is in our best interest to align with her. There are also other transferred consciousnesses to Earth for their completion of the journey from third to fourth-level consciousness, from Solar Plexus to Heart (more on this in later articles).
The choice we are here to make
The choice we are here to make is simple, though that is not to say it is easy, as there are many karmic factors that play a part in our decision-making in this density, mainly our interaction with other souls and their journey to enlightenment.
The choices are:
Service to all and the greater good.
Service to self and the greatest good for self.
All other interests are distractions and part of the game. There are no mistakes, no wrong choices, and no wrong paths, as each choice is based solely on your energy level, which is how you see and interpret the world around you.
You could never have made a different choice than the one you made, positive or not, as you did not have the insight and vibration necessary at the time to have chosen differently. Now that you see it differently, you can make a more educated choice the next time around.
What does it mean to choose service to all and the greater good?
It means you must give more than you take, that you choose service for the greater good 51% of the time. This may appear to be an easy mark to hit, though you will find through your inner work that practically no one will make the grade until they become conscious of their impact in the world through deep reflection and meditative practices such as meditation, breath work, sacred plant ceremonies, yoga (real yoga, not the stretching yoga we practice here in North America), and working with energy healers, etc.
With that said, understand that many of the practitioners leading this work have yet to truly embrace it themselves, so choose your guides wisely.
What does it mean to choose service to self?
The second path, the path of service to self, is equally difficult to transcend to higher densities, with a passing grade of 95%. In other words, you must choose service to self 95% of the time.
This path skips the heart (love) and goes directly to the throat Chakra (wisdom), and wisdom without compassion (a form of love) can be used to control the masses through fear.
Question, if you were to remove all the humans from Mother Earth, would there still be evil? Name one evil in nature not directly linked to humankind.
We are the evil on this planet (service to self, conscious or unconscious), and yet, in higher states of consciousness, of oneness, we are the love, light, and truth as well.
The choice is yours.
Clearing karma for the service to all and the greatest good path
If this is your soul's desire, then you must clear the vessel of negative karma, which will stop your ascension to higher consciousness, as you will have to repeat this level's lessons to clear it. This is sticky stuff, like flypaper, and will not let go on its own.
What is Karma? It’s the relations and interactions you have with the world around you. If you become attached to the people, emotions, and happenings to the point that there are still ties and unresolved issues, you create Karma.
It’s almost impossible to come to this planet and not create Karma. That is not the issue, the issue is letting it go. To clear the Karmic ties, we must first look deep into the mirror at ourselves, honestly.
We must take responsibility for our actions in every situation, even the hard ones where everyone will tell you it’s not your fault. And it may not be, though you definitely played a part in it, and that is the part you must own, no matter how insignificant. Otherwise, you will remain a victim, as you have given your power away.
After all, if it’s not your fault, how are you going to fix it? Always remember that you played a part, even if that part was simply giving your power away.
By accepting your part in the play, you know that it was some of your decisions that helped shape the outcome. By owning those decisions, changing them, and making different choices in the future, you regain power over your life and story, thus changing the outcome from the inevitable (past) to the beneficial.
The next step is to let that shit go
Why would you carry that guilt from the candy you stole when you were seven? Would you do it again now? If not, why are you carrying that guilt and shame with you today? It not only doesn’t serve you, it doesn’t serve anyone around you either.
Let that shit go.
Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know before you knew it. And now that you’ve learned your lesson, let go of the pain and don’t repeat it. It’s that simple, though sometimes not easy, as we’ve been conditioned to hold on to these secrets as if we are the only ones who’ve stooped so low.
Nonsense. Everyone has these disruptive nuggets in their closet. Own it, learn from it, let it go, and forgive yourself.
I’ll leave you with this wisdom from one of my heroes, do the best you can until you know better. And then, when you know better, do better.
You’re a work in progress, my friends. Be kind to yourself, as you would a toddler learning to walk. Would you yell at her, embarrass, and belittle him every time he misstepped? Or would you have compassion, understanding that it is the very missteps he or she is making now that will lead to success in the future?
Do you believe you are different? Better? Not entitled to the same compassion? Love. Compassion. Gratitude. Forgiveness. They start with you, my friends, for you cannot give what you do not have within.
