Subject: [BardonPraxis] Hermes Trismegistus
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 14:21:52 -0800 (PST)
I am reading "Fire In The Heart" by Kyriacos C. Markides. In this book,
he writes about his conversation with Daskalos, Greek Cypriot healer and
master of metaphysical knowledge. Daskalos said that, "Hermes
Trismegistus is any human being who reaches the state of superconscious
self-awareness. Anyone who has mastered his or her three bodies - the
gross material, the psychic, and the noetic - is a Hermes Trismegistus.
The winged god Hermes symbolizes flight - that is, the mastery of
exomatosis, or what others call 'astral travel'."
Also, "that the word trismegistus in Greek literally means 'the
thrice-great' - that is, the one who has attained mastery over the three
bodies and therefore can travel freely in these other dimensions of
existence, accumulating knowledge and wisdom and disseminating it to those
who carry on a life confounded within the lower levels of awareness."
This offered a new and different meaning for me, and I have a deep respect
for ancient and modern mystics that have preserved ancient teachings and
kept the flame alive.
