Entenda porque o CAIBALION não é hermetismo!

Welcome to another video of knowledge of humanity and today I want to start with controversy. Is it a hermetic or not? And I'm going to talk about it last time. So if you got a little like that, calm down, calm down, calm down, watch the video until the end, I'll explain everything to you cute, you will understand.

If you take the old videos here on the channel, videos from 10 years ago, 11 years ago, you will see that I am there saying that the Caibalion has the hermetic laws, I am explaining the hermetic laws of Caibalion, but that was the result of a space-time of a decade ago, and then I went to study hermeticism, and then I discovered some things that I want to share with you today.

when Caibalion calls what is inside hermeticism may be much deeper than just appropriating a name but also has a reflection of a cultural domain on a much older tradition and I want to use as an example Stoicism a philosophical current where there are some great thinkers like Epictetus like Marco Aurélio Roman emperor wrote his famous book Meditations Stoicism he is

a very profound philosophy that requires a lot of study, but it basically today in the modern world has become a story of like this: "Look, don't feel it, if you are rational you will win the world, so be rational and don't feel it." This is a generalization, a simplification of a much deeper philosophy than that.

First, Peter never said that you shouldn't feel. On the contrary, he said: "Feel, but don't let your emotions rule." They rule in the sense of being impulsive, of acting with anger. He said: "No, feel the emotions, work the emotions."

Understand emotions, realize that they exist, but don't let them be the balance of your decisions. Today stoicism has become a lot of loose sentences, many times out of context, many of them in the mouths of some coaches who are selling miraculous and miraculous courses.

All to say that you don't have to feel that the rational mind is the mind that commands, so you have to be as rational as possible. Do you realize what happened here? Stoicism remained in a way in the phrases, but the original philosophy basically diluted and lost itself. And that's what happened with Hermetism when the Caibalion was released. And now we need to understand what Caibalion is and why it is not Hermetism and what Hermetism is in this story.

In 1908 a book was published called "The Jackal". This book was published under the name of "Three Initiates" by an publisher that belonged to a guy named William Walter Atkinson. Our dear William Walker had already written books with pseudonyms.

three pseudonyms, two with Indian names and another with a magical name, Therion Key. He decided to write Caibalion with the name of three initiates to honor his three pseudonyms. But it was he who wrote the book, there is even a publication at the beginning of this publication,

French publication that came out with his name and was quickly removed from the market, in which he understood that he needed to do a different marketing of that and he put three initiates to bring a mystery to the book. Our dear Atkinson was part of a doctrine called New Thought. For you to understand this doctrine, you need to understand the thinking of people like Quimby.

who was a thinker, this guy was a kind of hypnologist, almost a doctor at the time, and he began to realize in hospitals that patients who had a more positive thinking, they used to heal faster than those who were more negative. He realized this, but that's where he went. He realized that if we think positively, the body

body is helped to cure a disease but he at no time said that positive thinking cures diseases he only put it in a way that if the person is more positive it facilitates the healing process from there a idea of a positivism was born but a positivism focused on a positive thinking from there this one of new touch new touch new thought was a doctrine that ended up

two different lines. One was founded by a church based on this doctrine, a Christian scientific church in Boston by a woman named Mary Edie. And other people continued a more esoteric second line saying that the mind controls reality. Realize, realize? This has nothing to do with hermeticism. Our dear Ati Kinson was a Newtott's fan.

wrote several books by Newtote and he wanted the Caibalion to be the great book that propagated the idea of Newtote. What is the difference between Newtote and the original hermeticism? Let's look at the hermetic principles and we will understand.

First we have to understand that at that time, in the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century, there was a rescue of spirituality, since the Renaissance, Illuminism, rational thinking had just passed. The occultists were trying in great

to a more rationalist side to explain the occultism and the mystical side. And it started at that moment to arrive a lot of things that would be the orient, the mysterious orient, whatever the people considered to be the orient at that time.

And then these writings from Egypt and India start to arrive. New Thoth is a great salad of all these things, but mainly of texts and writings that come from some Hindu philosophies. Hermeticism as a philosophy was an initiatory philosophy.

You had to practice that in silence, make reflections, analyze symbols, look at processes of external and internal alchemy, while the idea of ​​Kaibalion is to be a more commercial business, a more practical business, and more "look, do it this way that it will work". Not that hermeticism doesn't have a little of that, but that's already the beginning of this separation.

Another very important thing is that Hermeticism believed in a superior consciousness called "nous", that is, this consciousness was a mind that had all the knowledge of the universe, almost as if it were the idea of ​​a creative mind. And in this mind there is everything, not only the rational, the mental, there is also the physical, the matter, there are emotions, there are affections, feelings, instincts, the spirit,

all this is inside this mind never hermeticism said that only can change reality through a positive thought and in the Caibalion this is very clear why take hermeticism then because it was an ancient tradition it was a very fundamental tradition that came from a mysterious country like Egypt or ancient classical Greece and then you take it

the characteristics, put the characteristics you want, practice a lot of cultural appropriation to erase the original philosophical line and use the name to create a new one based on what you believe in, in the case of Atchikinson, Newtote. Well, but I promised to look at the hermetic principles and let's start with them.

The first is the principle of mentalism. I think I already gave a good idea that for Caibalion, the "nose" is everything. And this story that the mind shapes reality is not true. Caibalion will deal much more with an idea that everything is connected, that everything is part of a whole and that separation is the illusion. This is hermeticism. Caibalion will say: "No, look, there is a separation between us and the other planes. There is even a separation between us

And God, we can't reach God, and God would be this idea of this consciousness, this nous, which Caibal has spoken badly about. Original Hermetism speaks differently, it already has a philosophical paradox. Original Hermetism says that through the state of Gnosis, that is,

Through a altered state of consciousness, where you can reach a state of Gnosis, which is a state where knowledge is obtained not by rational ways, you can reach the consciousness of this Nous and drink from the source of this consciousness where there is knowledge.

So look how different it is. You work on your self-knowledge, talking to your own symbols, knowing your own universe inside of you, because you are connected, and by changing you, you change the universe. But this is not just at a mental level, at a level of "oh, I'm going to change", because this kind of idea gave rise to the law of attraction. That book that if you think you attract, and think with me,

I

Lula won every week in the mega scene. So this story is a story that was deturbed, taken from a base of Newtote and renamed hermeticism. The second is the law of correspondence. This one even has

a hermetic base, because in hermeticism it is said that what is above is like what is below. We have the Emerald Tablet, which is a text probably written by Arabs and that arrived in Europe in the Middle Ages, it was not written by Thoth, it was not written in Africa, it was not written in Egypt, it was not written by Atlantis. We have documented that these texts came from the Arabs, mainly from Arab alchemy, and won Europe in the form of the Emerald Tablet. In the Emerald Tablet we have this phrase, this hermetic axiom,

of what is above is like it is below but different from the caibal that says that things are analogous or original hermeticism does not say that there is analogy he says that there is connection so different from looking at the sky and saying yes there is a nebula there that looks like a human eye the universe is analogous in fact the name of this is pareidolia I look there and I

I see that it looks like an eye I see and I end up seeing an eye. But the idea of hermeticism is not this. The idea of hermeticism is that when things move in the universe, inside or outside, they are talking to each other. So what is above is like what is below in the sense of things talking, of things speaking the same language and when

one changes, the other also changes, consequently. Because again, separation is an illusion. Hermetism teaches that when a planet moves up there, our aspect is also moving. This is different from making certain types of analogies,

the world of the microcosm it is equal to the macrocosm only it is at a different level of consciousness or size this is what the caibal and speaks hermeticism says no all things have interrelationship the third is the law of vibration that says that everything

everything vibrates good this concept it was inspired by physics at that moment when the book was written where we started to discover that matter vibrates that matter energy and we have the law of Einstein's relativity we have the formula is equal to mc squared so influenced by this idea to say that everything vibrates

But then, okay. But then, Caibalion goes further. He starts to say that if you vibrate at a certain frequency, you attract what you want. Well, this also has nothing to do with original Hermetism. Original Hermetism talks about inter-correlation between things, emanating things so that you connect with other things. It's different from vibration. And why is it different?

The idea of vibration in Caibalion is almost like a radio tune that you are looking for in the tip exactly the place to attract what you want for your life. And then again, it falls into that idea, almost from the law of attraction, almost coach idea, that if you think deeply what you want, believe and vibrate that, you will attract that to you. This is not true again.

How many times you didn't vibrate, thought, believed, had faith, and the thing didn't come? Because it's not that way that it works. We tune energetically with places, with people, until then, ok, it's part, tuning, but it has a lot more to do with

our emotional field, how we are affected by things and people. So be a little careful, because it's not just vibrating out there, like a little rabbit from Duracell, it's vibrating and you attract everything you want. It's not that idea of original hermeticism. Original hermeticism says the following: "Integre-se com a nature".

Integrate with the universe. And integration will make you flow better into the universe where you live. This is very different from going out there vibrating or believing that anything will happen just because you vibrated positively. Then comes the story of the rhythm.

that everything has a rhythm, that everything happens through a rhythm, everything has its own tides. And this idea is soon dismantled with the idea of ​​evolution. Evolution has no rhythm. Evolution happens from time to time, it takes a leap. These leaps cannot be measured or cannot be fit into a rhythm. When we look at the universe, we see that many things are rhythmic.

We see the moon cycle, we see stations, we see orbits, there's a lot of stuff connected to time spaces, to rhythms, but not everything in the universe is rhythmic. We don't know, for example, how long a star will last. "Ah, a white anam star lasts 5 billion years." So it means that every white anam star, when it's 5 billion years old, will explode because it has a rhythm. No!

This is a prediction, it's something approximate, things happen for less or for more. There is no perfect, aligned rhythm. Look at, for example, solstices and equinoxes. They are rhythmic things on Earth. They never happen from one year to the next, on the same day or at the same time. Things change the

and over time things are changing. So in original hermeticism we talk about expansion of consciousness. We don't just talk about cycles, because cycles are things very much based on a very small space-time, where we can observe within that small space. But when we start extrapolating this to evolution, to the age of a star, the age of the universe, these things lose their meaning completely. And then the original hermeticism says that the beginner does not wait for the cycles.

He simply transforms based on what he wants to transform, expands consciousness and when integrating with nature, he takes advantage of natural flows to be able to better achieve what he wants to achieve. Then comes the principle of cause and effect. And you must be saying: "This one works." So let's understand this better. The horse has influence from New Thought and it also has Christian influence.

Caibalion he treats cause and effect almost like moralism almost like moral determinism when hermeticism only talks about cause and effect in a physical sense in the sense that if I do something will have a reaction contrary very similar to the law of physics if I curse someone someone can curse me back the person can ignore then

Every action I take has a reaction, but this reaction has no predefined morality. There is no one there judging the universe. Because when we take the Caibalion, the idea is that if I do good actions, I will have good results. If I do bad actions, I will have bad results. And this is an idea that does not fit into reality.

I ask you how many people in the world you know who are bad and who get good results and how many people you know who are good and who get bad results realize that the harvest the effect has nothing to do with our morality many times it will have to do with the actions we take as we take and where we take and even so in some cases they are things that are so

out of our control, because we don't know what the effect will be. Hermeticism invites us to try to predict the effects of our actions. This is a way of reflecting on yourself, on your own actions, and when something happens, you evaluate it as a result of a symbolic experience that will make your consciousness expand.

And finally, we have the principle of gender, which divides gender into masculine and feminine. And this is what I need to talk less about, because this is the same thing as the next one, which is the law of polarity. And, guys, it only broke in seven principles there in Hermetic, the seven laws there in Caibalho, because seven is the number of magic, seven is the magic number, seven musical notes, seven colors, seven this, seven that. So the seven became a symbol of what is totality. And then the gender appears to

to show that there is another polarity, male and female. But it doesn't work, because then comes the principle of polarity. And this is another paradox that exists between Caibalion and hermeticism. Caibalion says that there are poles, that these poles exist, that through these poles we experience the human experience. Original hermeticism does not speak of polarities. Original hermeticism speaks of triads.

always are three things because if I have a pole here with another pole here and stay one on each side nothing happens. Hermeticism then says that there is always a third thing. This third thing can be the attraction between these things, it can be friction between these things, it can be the crisis between thesis and antithesis and then it will generate a third thing which is the synthesis, which is the product of these things. The universe only exists, people, because

There are three things. There are two that can be the father and the mother, but there is the product, which is the third, which would be the child, or would be the creative, loving product of that union. But before, even from the product, there was a force that made those polarities, opposite or affinities,

because this is also another issue of hermeticism. When two people love each other, for example, love is not the opposite. There is no relationship between love and hate. There are two people loving each other. And from this love, which are two very close poles, a third thing will be born, which will be a relationship, it will be a child, it will be a job, it will be a project, it can be anything. But the very love, the very energy of love in those two people is already the third thing manifesting itself.

If you're not convinced yet, think about this: When the caibalion gives the example of the pendulum, there is a pendulum that goes to one side and to the other, to the poles. But he forgets to say that there is something that holds the pendulum. There is a third point. And usually, who controls the force of the pendulum is the third point that is holding the pendulum. So when we look more carefully, we see that the caibalion

It's not hermeticism. In fact, he contradicts hermeticism in several things of the essence of hermeticism. He has the name, he has things that were based on hermeticism, but then they changed it to become something of their own. He is a Newtote book. That is, if you like Caibarion, it's all right.

Just be careful not to call it hermeticism, because it is not. And we have to be very careful, because this is a deletion of a philosophy of a very ancient culture, such as the Egyptian, and the Greeks, two cultures that built this philosophy together. Hermeticism has philosophical bases within the Egyptian experience, and then it was reread, let's say, through the Corpus Hermeticum, which is a book, which is actually a compendium of several books organized by the Greeks.

which is already a kind of change from the original philosophy. We don't have many things about the original philosophy. But if you want to study original hermeticism, I recommend you study the Corpus Hermeticum, knowing that it was the Greeks who wrote it, but also study the Greek magical papyrus. Yes, papyrus were found, especially in Egypt, and that speak

most of them from the Hellenic era, where we have the use of hermeticism there in everyday life. As a bibliomancy, as spells, as spells, as ways of facing the world, it's really cool to start with these writings and then read things like Hermeticism, other texts that will help you deepen your hermeticism. You know who is a good daughter of the original? Alchemy. Alchemy is also a good field of study to find

the original hermeticism within it. Here's a warning then, so we can be careful with this kind of thing that tries to get the name. We have several examples of this. We have, for example, in literature, when we take a text from someone who is trying to pass himself by another person, we call it a pseudo. So, for example, we have

The pseudo-aeropathicist, who would be an author who tried to pass through another. We have the writings of Goetia, Salomon, which were not written by King Solomon at all. They are guillemotus manuscripts from the Middle Ages, written by Christians. But you put the name of King Solomon there,

"It was King Solomon who wrote that." It's the same thing with Caibalism and Hermeticism. This is a problem, because it can cause a historical erasure, an appropriation of a content, and then an erasure, and then a whole generation that is studying Hermeticism is studying something that is not Hermeticism. Let's remember then that the original Hermeticism

propõe o silêncio, a reflexão, ele propõe a mudança íntima, ele propõe a integração com a natureza, ele propõe a integração da sua consciência com a natureza e ele vai fugir dessa ideia de leis herméticas ou de dogmatizar o conhecimento filosófico. Vamos lembrar que o hermetismo não é uma religião, ele era uma filosofia e uma forma de ver o mundo.

And I reinforce here to finish the video. You don't need to throw your caibalhão out, you don't need to put it on the fire, none of that. Now you have a different understanding of it, you understand that it is another philosophical line. And if you like it and think it works, it's all right. Let's just not call it hermeticism, because otherwise it's a mess with hermeticism, isn't it? On Friday I'll come here to talk a little about this issue of cultural erasure, memories, I'll get into a subject that may be controversial,

I'm going to bring here a symbolic analysis of that movie "The Secret Agent", a Brazilian movie that has recently been very popular in the news, it won the Oscar. I'll talk a little about this movie on Friday, I'll tell you here. "Sphyrrhas Hermeticas", a pole here, another pole here, a force of attraction, which is the third, a loving sphyrra is born for you. A kiss in the heart.
