Plenty of food for thought, and to get busy at learning new ideas. A well done summary of Hermeticism. Thank you.

Imagine a world where every truth is just unvailed to us without gatekeepers saying what we should or not learn. That would be the day. Thanks once again for another incredible video.

In order to understand a little more about Hermeticism and also be entertained beyond belief, I recommend reading the Promethea series by Alan Moore and J. H. Williams III.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I find esotericism to be laughably silly and left wanting, but was a cool dive into the subject.

Glad you enjoyed it! I think partly esotericism appeals to a specific mindset, but I'd also say it's a matter of how one interprets the texts and how literally one takes it.

I'm seriously flattered that you were thinking about me, brother. And I promise to maintain a more regular schedule now that we've sort of settled in at our new temporary home.
