Editing Hermeticism (section)

== Core Principles ==

=== The All (God / Source) ===
Hermeticism teaches that there is a single ultimate reality often referred to as "The All," from which everything originates.

=== Mentalism ===
One of the central Hermetic ideas is that reality is fundamentally mental in nature: “The All is Mind.”

=== Correspondence ===
There is a harmony between different levels of reality, often summarized as: “As above, so below; as below, so above.”

=== Vibration ===
Everything in existence is in motion and vibrates at different frequencies, from the physical to the spiritual.

=== Polarity ===
All things have dual aspects (light/dark, hot/cold), which are extremes of the same underlying reality.

=== Rhythm ===
Reality operates in cycles and patterns, such as rise and fall, creation and dissolution.

=== Cause and Effect ===
Nothing happens by chance; all events follow causal laws.

=== Gender ===
Masculine and feminine principles exist in all things as complementary forces.
