Parts of the Hermetica appeared in the 4th-century Gnostic library found in Nag Hammadi.— another famous tract is the Emerald Tablet of Thoth, which teaches the doctrine "as above, so below". The Hermetica are Egyptian-Greek wisdom texts from the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE, which are mostly presented as dialogues in which a teacher, generally identified as Hermes Trismegistus ("thrice-greatest Hermes"), enlightens a disciple. The texts form the basis of Hermeticism. They discuss the divine, the cosmos, mind, and nature. Some touch upon alchemy, astrology, and related concepts.

==Hermaphrodite== | |||
Through the perfect union of the two forces, as an example of the [[Gender Principle]] with Adam and Eve in the waters of sex with chastity, the pillar of the hermai is perfected and made into the image of God through the hierogamic union of the inner [[Christ-Sophia]]. This is represented in Alchemy of unified polarities. In this term of hermaphrodite we see Mercury-Hermes uniting with goddess of love. Her name is Venus or Aphrodite. When Hermes and Aphrodite unite they form [[Hermaphrodite]], perfect balance of unified male and female. A hermaphrodite really, truly has nothing to do with what people nowadays think that it is. The mystical understanding of a hermaphrodite, ithe etymology of the word comes from the union between Mercury and Venus (hermes-aphrodite), and is the hierogamic union of a god and goddess, a perfected being, the perfect balance and union between masculine and feminine, united as one. When we enter the sexual act, we mimic that process. We enter into a sacred temple, the union of polarities to form a unity. Because we are ignorant and subjected to the [[Sexual Misery]] programming on the earth, but we corrupt it with our lust, jealousy, pride, arrogance, with animal desire - the [[Houses of Ego]]. When we think with the [[Negative Ego]] mind and allow the [[Imposter Spirit]] to dwell inside of us, we do not have a clean, pure temple; our inner temple has been made into a brothel. | |||
