Is Hermetics relevant for everyday life?
Or perhaps the better question is: HOW is Hermetics relevant in everyday life?
Enjoy a conversation with Grace Hui about incorporating Hermetic principles into your daily life, offering a sneak peek into how these teachings can elevate your experience.
Like every Wednesday, tonight we have CHI DO, available for all, and free on Zoom.

The Everyday Benefits of Living by Hermetic Principles
Imagine waking up every day with a clear sense of purpose, feeling truly fulfilled and aligned with your deepest desires.
While what would constitute a “good life” looks different for alot of people, it is safe to say that most want a life that has purpose and an existence that provides fulfilment.
Yet, we often find ourselves distracted by the world around us, sidetracked by what others are doing, and unable to see clearly what we are truly meant to do. Life then just passes us by, along with the opportunity to really make a difference.
How then do we know how to discern what is truly meant for us? How do we know what it is that we are meant to do and live life in integrity? How do we follow our own blueprint instead of becoming caught up unwittingly in someone else’s?
Hermetics is a system of living based on the writings of Hermes Trismegistus. It is an ancient set of principles that predate any religion.
Essentially, it is a manuscript on how to live life on earth in alignment with who we truly are. To live hermetically is to live life fully alive.
To live hermetically is to follow a path that is beautiful, all-encompassing, and rewarding. It contains everything you need to move beyond survival mode and truly thrive.
The Kybalion, a book written by The Three Initiates and based on the principles of Hermetic teachings, lists seven immutable principles that permeate every aspect of life. From our relationships with one another to our relationships with ourselves and the universe around and within us, these principles, if followed, support us in realizing our fullest potential on earth.
In a nutshell, these principles are:
1. The principle of mentalism
“The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.”
2. The principle of correspondence
“As above so below […] This principle embodies the truth that there is always a correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes of being and life. In other words, your outer world reflects your inner world.
3. The principle of vibration
“Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”
4. The principle of polarity
“Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.”
5. The principle of rhythm
“Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.”
6. The principle of cause and effect
“Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law.”
7. The principle of gender
“Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; gender manifests on all planes.”
While these principles may seem abstract, they are absolute truths in life. To the novice, these principles may not make much sense. They certainly did not to me when I first encountered them. While I could intellectually understand them, I was unable to put them into practice in a way that was anchored in my everyday life. In short, I was unable to bring them out of the book and manifest them in the physical in a way that served me.
It was not until I attended my first Hermetics Class, taught by Sovereign Ipsisimus Dave Lanyon, Hermetic Communication of the Divine Masculine and Feminine, that it began to click. There is so much jargon out in the world that pits the sexes against one another when in reality, both are needed for there to be flow in this world. I began to understand the delicate dance between the two different but complementary energies that bring forth beauty and creation in this world for all things that are of the light. I was hooked.
It is through attending this class that I got the missing link that I was unable to get from the books alone – the keys. I was intrigued! From there, I attended “How to Live a Hermetic Life,” which was a perfect way to integrate all that I have learned from the books in a practical way. I won’t ruin the surprise, but the spoiler alert is – there are WAY more keys!
I next attended the Hermetic Joy class, which again gave me more keys to integrate the Hermetic principles in my everyday life. What can be better than a life lived in a state of joy as opposed to the endless pursuit of happiness? With joy, there is passion, and with passion, there is creation. Humans need this in order to keep progressing. How empowering it is to know that I could shift out of stasis and that I was not just a victim to an endless stream of feelings and emotions!
For me, the jewel of the crown was “Relationships in the Hermetic Life.” All things in life are based on relationships, and we cannot truly have the experience we are meant to have in this life without relationships. We may avoid or minimize relationships out of fear of pain or suffering, but the truth is that we cannot accomplish and achieve many of the greatest things on earth without relationships. So, we can either hide away, or we can take charge of ourselves and learn how to navigate and build relationships that are in alignment with the Light.
Which will you choose? If you want to live a good life, and I believe you do (as I do), then learning and integrating the Hermetic principles into your everyday life will lift you out of the mundaneness of life and help you to truly have a meaningful experience!
