Part 8/19:
One of the most profound Hermetic teachings is mental transmutation—the art of changing mental states, vibrations, and conditions akin to alchemy on the mental plane. Just as ancient alchemists sought to transmute base metals into gold, Hermetics aim to transform mental vibrations to achieve mastery over oneself and circumstances.
Since "The All is mind," manipulating the mind’s vibrations allows us to influence the universe itself. This means that all mental phenomena—thoughts, emotions, attitudes—are vibratory states that can be altered intentionally. By understanding and applying Hermetic formulas, individuals can reform their mental states, influence others, and even shape material conditions.
