'' The Great Geometer and Worker has made the world, not with his hands, but with his Word. You have to represent him as Present and always Existing, as the author of Everything, The One and the All, the one who created the Beings by his Will. ''

HERMES

(The Crater or The Monad

(Hermes Trismegistus to his Son Tat)

There is an ancient and ancient Divine Operation or Primordial Tradition = Pistis Sophia.

An incorruptible Old Wisdom = (Prisca theologia), which is jealously guarded, harshly maintained or firmly held as a beautiful Golden Chain through a close Ancient, Initiatic and Secret Theurgical ritual and Ceremonial relationship.

In this way, it is a spiritual relationship with certain beings and spirits related to the same origin of the Primordial Origin of the Divine Light.

In reality that Ancestral Truth is –essentially- an Esoteric, Hermetic, Kabbalistic Tradition of noble and secure Orphic roots.

Poimandres proclaims:

'' A Holy Word descended from the Light on Nature and a Pure Fire rose from the humid Nature towards the heights; It was subtle, penetrating and at the same time Active. ''

(Poimandres I)

Direct source of the Primordial Tradition that spiritually 'binds' that legendary Pure Talismanic Theurgic Magic of Divine Operation.

The one that manages to be able to approach the genuine process of transformation and ascension in a leisurely way.

However, it is fair to suppose that all those sublime and sweet characteristics of the divine bonds, uttered between the chants and Theurgical Magic Spells of proven Primordial Secret Revelation, are gathered in it.

Deep down, we can say, it is immaculate Ancestral Wisdom, framed within a proven and rigorous process of assimilation and reception.

Old and Ancestral enviable model of knowledge intermediary tradition.

Or, better to say, that it is a whole body of initiatory and mysterious ideas, structured in fine patterns and delicate congruent and very Secret teachings.

Undoubtedly, they are the ones who can, among their many experimental forms, even try to approach the imitation and reconstruction of the primordial and archetypal divine actions.

In the same way, they are remnants of millenary traditions received directly, carefully selected through the exclusive and hierarchical mediation of powerful astral deities.

“Ficino spoke of the magus in the same terms as his priest-physician. Magic is not a profane cultivation of demons but captures the heavenly gifts hidden in natural objects for the promotion of health. It is 'natural magic' that requires a superior mind in which celestial and earthly elements are combined and perfectly balanced ''

(Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, The Western Esoteric Traditions, Oxford University Press, 2008, 80).

For Master Ficino's spirituality, there was a single safe, rigorous and theurgical sacramental path, -Pansophia- of strong assimilation and reception of the seminal-Solar ideas from the divinity.

It is Path of Ascension and Staircase of HERMES ÓRFICO and PITAGÓRICO.

It is HEKA Theurgic and the Wisdom of the Ancient Tradition to achieve ascend the Ladder of the Philosophers or Way of Hermes.

THE LADDER of Hermes, in its two basic modalities, the spiral and the straight line, is unified with the fundamental concept of Hierarchy or of the harmony between the Hierarchical Order of the Universe.

It is similar to the substantial and logical expression or representation of the fluid Manifestation of the Infinite Chain of Being.

Maimonides, the Jewish philosopher, = (Moses ben Maimon, 1113-1204 AD), refers to the ladder as the worthy example of a firm and stable relationship, between man and Cosmos:

"I believed that the story of Jacob's ladder was an attempt to explain the relationship between the existence of Man on earth and the world of the celestial spheres"

(Guide to the Perplexed [xvii]).

The Old Masters of Floridos and Builders, left it embodied among the Hermetic-Sacred Stone of their Gothic Cathedrals.

And, at the same time, the Old Wise Alchemists find in it the expressive richness of all the profound symbols and a valuable catalog of sublime attributes.

Ars Notorious and Secret Secretorum of the Millennial Masters of The Golden Flower and Alchemical Stone.

Per Ignem ad Lucem = By Fire the Light. Mysterious attributes that reaffirm and mark stages or staggered states of the very elaboration and transformation of the alchemical Opus.

After the fall of Man an abyss opens to the world of Darkness.

But; there is an Old Path or Path of ascension that leads from Chaos to Light, through the alchemical ladder of Jacob.

Power of Thoth-Hermes- Mercurial Precept of the Flowery Masters: Hen Kai Pan = One and All.

Fulcanelli in La Mystére des Cathédrales, visualizes the Lady of Notre-Dame de Paris.

She, between her legs, holds the Alchemical Ladder.

It is the famous Scala Philosophorum of the central Portico. Magnum Opus Alchymicum = Alchemy.

Principles each of its stages and astrological-alchemical and zodiacal correspondence in Man.

'' Magnum Miraculum est Homo ''

First step-Saturnal. Seventh-Sun-alchemical solarization = Venerable Master and Kabbalistic YOD Principle of Solar-East-Gavel-Square-Sun correspondence.

7 alchemical-astrological steps to reach the Master in ascension or gradation = Hermetic Staircase.

Hermetic Staircase the one between steps alludes to something deeper than its structural and formal nature can contain. '' Hermes is the author of the Initiation Rituals ... almost all Masonic symbols are Hermetic in character ... ''.

(Manly. P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages)

It is the Royal Art = Ars Regio-Sacred Science of the Master.

All this in a referential framework of high Euclidean geometry:

'' Hic incipiunt Constituciones Artis Gemetriae secundum Eucyldem = '' The Constitutions of Geometric Art according to Euclid begins here ''

(Poema Regio)

It is Tradition that is manifested through solid documentary references that frame this knowledge as coming from a historical source and Templar Wisdom.

Tradition developed in Egypt and widely propagated through the well-known rigorous conceptual Pythagorean assimilation of the Geometer Euclid.

(Beswicke-Roys manuscript Ms 16th century, mentioning the `` wisdom of Hermes-Pythagoras '')

Es la Tradición perseguida y asimilada en el pensamiento espiritual refinado del Maestro de La Flor y filósofo de la época Isabelina, Dr. John Dee:

''The characteristic philosopher of the Elizabethan age was John Dee whose mathematical preface to the English translation of Euclid (1570) begins with an invocation to ' Divine Plato' and quotes Henry Cornelius Agrippa on the three worlds. Dee's preface is the work of Renaissance Neoplatonist organically connected with the Hermetic- Cabalist core of the movement, particularly as formulated by the most extreme of its exponents, Agrippa.''

(Frances Yates, The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age, London, 1979, p.88)

For these Flowery Masters, Euclides is fused with the wisdom of the educated and theurgical reception of the transmission-reception process from generation to generation.

And, through ceremonies, secret symbology and rules of the medieval organizations of the construction guilds.

'' I will show one of them, although I will leave others: that is, how the Science of Geometry began, and who were the creators of them and other Arts ... and how this worthy Science of Geometry began ''

(Cooke Manuscript-1410 AD).

In the valuable Cooke Manuscript, the knowledge of "this worthy scholar Euclid" is considered as an essential part of the transmission and primordial unique inheritance and of spiritual and physical sustenance:

"And in this Council was this Worthy Learned Euclid. .. ''.

(Ms. Cooke).

In the Grand Lodge Manuscript No. 1 (1583), Euclid is mentioned in X and XI and indicates:

'' ... and then the excellent cleric Euclides arrived ... ''

'' And the excellent Euclid gave him the name geometry, because that is how Masonry is known in ALL countries.

'' Mentioned Euclides, in the Document or Manuscript Inigo Jones (1607); VII '' ... and there they taught the Seven Sciences to the Egyptians, he had a worthy student whose name was Euclid and he learned very well and became a Grand Master of the Seven Sciences ... ''.

In the famous Dumfries Manuscript No. 4 (1710) Euclid is mentioned:

`` ... the excellent Doctor Euclid appeared ... ''.

The secret of Opus in Masonic Art is fundamentally a matter of High Spiritual Geometry.

There the secret of Mastery must be sought by the Master in an internal journey of urgent serious and rigorous study of a rigid discipline, to dispel ignorance.

It is important to point out that the novel late masonry (18th century), printed this knowledge in its new and reformed Constitutions of 1723.

In relation to Euclid's Problem 47, Dr. Anderson said: "... the foundation of all Freemasonry, sacred, civil and military."

'' The first clear definition of what has later become known as the Golden Ratio was given around 300 BC by the founder of geometry as formalized deductive system, Euclid of Alexandria ''.

(Mario Livio, The Golden Ratio, New York, 2002, p.3)

This mathematical-geometric principle is represented in mathematical literature with the Greek-Tau Letter meaning '' section '' '' the cut '', according to Livy.

All this Primordial Tradition is collected in Geometry in; The Elements of Euclid.

It is important to recognize that they were the monks already from 1120 with the possibility that from the same convents the knowledge and Primordial Tradition could be disseminated

(English Benedictine Monk Adelard De Bath-1070-1145 translates the Elements of Euclid into Latin).

The Proportions of the Temple are built according to the Geometric Pattern of Divine Proportions and it is oriented correctly.

The High Sacred Geometry condenses the reasoning in an abstract way and executes it from the "hand" of the Master of the Work.

Every Temple corresponds to the Cosmos in its astrological proportions in the Square of the circle = Lodge.

Let's see: Three Triangles per astronomical position = 12 Four 90 degree angles.

Each corner of the Temple = 4 corners of 90 degrees = 360 degrees = Geometry of the Square of the Temple and Circle = Man as Microcosm 4 Internal Elements.

Meanwhile, there is no doubt that Euclid, Pythagoras and Hermes are as valuable and pedagogically useful as those elements coming directly from what AJ Festugiere rightly calls literary mysteries or possibly from certain esoteric currents originating from the mystical Hebrew Kabbalah in the Order.

By the way: Hinc appellata mysteria: nec mysteria quae non occulta (Heptaplus).

Moreover, in fact, it is also totally meritorious to mention those origins of a literature of divine origin and inspiration with doctrinal norms and mystery rituals that reappear ordered from ancestral Neoplatonic and neo-Pythagorean sources and influences.

(Miguel Herrero De Jauregui, Orphic Tradition and Ancient Christianity, Spain, 2007,95)

"Both Orpheus and Hermes are patrons of a technical literature on the one hand (alchemy, astrology, medicine, botany) and a religious one on the other, which is transmitted, at least allegedly as literary moles, by a non-institutionalized paradose from teacher to disciple" .

(Herrero De Jauregui, 2007,97)

It should be clarified that trying to deny these Chains of Traditions and moral and spiritual teachings with fictitious arguments tied to the sole and exclusive meaning of the letter leads to frankly insubstantial results.

And, it would be, begin to deny their own essential pillars and conceptual foundations within the formative nature of the order.

Skipping, due to ignorance, is something else.

"Alchemy, the science of Hermes, is the first of the traditional sciences, which the candidate finds when entering the Chamber of Reflections"

(Pere Sánchez Ferré, 2014).

Curiously, some of them arrive, even trying to deny as unscientific, the origin and initiatory sense or the indisputable link and theological content of the ritual elements-symbola and synthemata- within the Masonic Order.

Not recognizing its millennial trajectory as depository and custodian of rich and pure elements linked to a tradition and duties (Charges) of Mystical origin.

Or is it that even now, "some" cannot or do not want to understand the liturgy of the first degree when it clearly tells them:

"So that you enter, like the neophyte in THE ANCIENT MYSTERIES.

(Liturgy of the Apprentice Degree, p. 35)

In the first place, there is a Superior Ancestral Hermetic Tradition or Perennial Sacred Science that we must look for within the constant symbolic allegories between the Ancient Masonic and non-Masonic Records.

(Serge Sauneron, The Priests of Ancient Egypt, Cornell University: 2000)

God as Circle and Geometric Absolute Truth.

'' Truth, for the Hermetists, was not an object of Scholarly inquiry that might adequately be discussed in the pages of a Philosophical Treatise, ut a Seen and Catalytic Force in their Personal Lives. Behind the text stand the Master and the Disciple, in Everyday Interaction ''

(Garth Fowden, The Egyptian Hermes, Preface XXIII)

The Primordial Tradition of Hermes (lat. Mercurius), is that of the Winged Messenger and faithful connoisseur of the Art of Healing the Ibis Thoth or Three Times Great.

Hermes is three times great by the Power of Wisdom in the Three mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms.

It is thanks to the Arabic literature that we can internalize Wisdom in numerous works of alchemy, medicine, astrology and high talismanic theurgy.

Ex Uno Omnia = Of THE ONE ALL.

`` I read Most Venerable Fathers, in The Writings of the Arabs, that when asked Abdala the Saracen about what was presented to him in this as a scene of the world as the most worthy of Admiration, he replied that nothing appeared to him more admirable than Man.

With whose Judgment that of Mercury is agreed -Magnum Miraculum Homo est '' = Great Miracle Oh! Asclepius, is the Man ''

(Count Florido de la Concordia, Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola. Very Elegant Prayer About The Dignity of Man).

A legendary Tradition integrated into the sacred ternary = Cosmology-Alchemy-Medicine.

"Everything that exists in the Universe is under the Dominion of the Planets and from Them receives its particular quality."

(Enrique Cornelio Agrippa, Occult Philosophy, Natural Magic, Chapter XXX, p.129)

We can say that the term and concept, 'Hermetic' is used to expose a body or doctrinal line = Gold Chain.

Varied and ancient tradition.

The Hermetic Treatises are known as the Corpus Hermeticum, - compiled roughly between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD

Some of them were preserved among the Greek Codices and in the Coptic Scattered Fragments of the important discovery of Nag Hammadi

(1945).

It is recognized that only the Latin Asclepius (lost the original Greek text), was well known by closed circles of the Convents between scholars and scholars.

They are Treatises that when we study them, we can find solid influence and Jewish, Gnostic and Greek elements.

But; Apart from the solid influences mentioned, the enormous fusion and assimilation of Egyptian elements = Hermaic chain = Hermetic chain-, surpasses it.

It is a Chain of Egyptian Tradition that describes cultural interactions with Egyptian antiquity.

`` An ignoras, O Asclepi, quo Aegyptus imago sit caeli aut, quod est verius, translatio aut descensio omnium ... ''

(Asclepio, 24)

The Primordial Tradition of the Egyptian Thoth descends from the scribes through Egyptian Rome and its spiritual continuation in the powerful - later - tradition of the Arabs.

(Festugiere, The Revelation of Hermes Trismegistus).

hen kai pan = ONE and All.

(The Way of La Toabey)
