Hermeticism and Creative Visualization. Marcus Shiva

In the first part of the book we will study the Principles of Hermeticism. In our days the term "Hermetic" means secret, closed in such a way that nothing escapes, meaning that the disciples of Hermes always observed the principle of secrecy in its precepts. The ancient teachers asked for this secret, but never wished that the teachings should not be transmitted. They did not institute a religion, so that these principles could be used by all, but they did not belong to any creed. In fact, the "Hermetic Principles" are based upon the Laws of Nature, and as such belong only to the Divine Order."The doctrines have always been transmitted from 'Master to Disciple, ' from Initiate to Hierophant, from lips to ears. Although it is written everywhere, its truth has been purposely veiled with the terms of alchemy and astrology, so that only those who have the key may read it well. (The Caibalion). In the second part we will study about Creative Visualization. The brain is capable of other forms of mental imaging, besides visual images, simulating or recreating perceptual experience in all sensory modalities, including auditory images of sounds, taste images, olfactory images of odors, motor images of movements, and tactile images of touch, incorporating texture, temperature and pressure. Despite the ability to generate mental images over sensory modalities, the term "creative visualization" means the process by which a person produces and processes visual mental images in particular. However, creative visualization is closely related and is often considered part of fantasy, guided. In guided fantasy, a trained professional or master helps an individual or a patient to evoke and generate mental images that simulate or recreate the sensory perception of sights, sounds, tastes, smells, movements and touch, as well as imaginative or mental content that the participating subject experiences as challenging conventional sensory categories.
