Copenhaver's Corpus Hermeticum. AND IF ANYONE SAYS THE KYBALION, I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!

THIS, this AND ONLY THIS

The Kybalion is good but... it's not hermetics.

You have to be initiated to read the real stuff

>be cumbrain pagan
>realize that Christians are developing Platonism with Zoroastrianism to expand the metaphysics of personhood and its relation to divinity, breaking the sterility that had gripped the intellectual world since the death of Aristotle
>oh fuck, muh egypt, muh athens, muh pagan traditions
>better plagiarize the latest advances in ontology and epistemology in light of a christology-based anthropology and Neoplatonism that finally unites the Geist with finitude and its capacity to be divinized
>better slap on some old as fuck egyptian mythology figure to pose as the source of these new-age pseudo-mystery sub-platonic ramblings to claim validity and usurp historical primacy
>Plotinus doesn't care about it and only anally ravaged theurgists like Iamblichus fall for it because they are so desperate to invalidate the Christians who are btfo'ing of them at every turn
>fails and falls into obscurity
>corpus gets picked up again centuries later by Renaissance larping weeb-fags who have a hard on for "muh ancient occult egypt" and uncritically accept the Hermeticum as ancient wisdom to spite bigdick daddy Pope who won't let them research their proto-materialistic, humanistic drivel
>throughout history, larpers and dilettantes the world over continually resort to the texts because the writings are retarded enough to be accessible but vague enough to seem profound

Nah. Nothing is hidden anymore. You just have to know the keywords to know what to look for.

Surface-level keywords will only render you shit conspiracy theories on youtube and a Gaia subscription.

But the deeper you get into the studies, the deeper you'll know what you want to learn about. Once you have a name for your desire you can more easily find it.

You will not find sacred mysteries if you don't know what mysteries to search for. If you look for "sacred occult mysteries", at best you will find Blavatskyian Theosophy, which is fake esotericism.

But if you have names for that which you want to learn, then the world's your oyster.

Protip, OP: look into the alchemical traditions. Hermeticism. Martinism. Freemasonry. 17th century Rosicrucianism.

Also read Jung.

>Freemasonry. 17th century Rosicrucianism

embarrasing if you think that's the deepest level
