The Seven Hermetic Principles

Are to be found in several writings and were written by Hermes Trismegistus 

The Asclepius and the Corpus Hermeticum are the most important of the Hermetica, writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, which survive.

Known also as the Master of all arts and sciences. perfect in all crafts, Ruler of the Three Worlds, Scribe of the Gods, and Keeper of the Books of Life, Thoth Hermes Trismegistus--the Three Times Greatest, the "First Intelligencer"--was regarded by the ancient Egyptians as the embodiment of the Universal Mind.
.
He was known by the Ancient Egyptians as The Great Great and the Master of Masters
The origin of the description Trismegistus or "thrice great" is unclear.
.
Copenhaver reports that this name is first found in the minutes of a meeting of the council of the Ibis cult, held in 172 BCE near Memphis in Egypt
.
Many Christian writers, including Lactantius, Augustine, Giordano Bruno, Marsilio Ficino, Campanella and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola considered Hermes Trismegistus to be a wise pagan prophet who foresaw the coming of Christianity.
.
They believed in a 'Prisca Theologia', the doctrine that a single, true theology exists, which threads through all religions, and which was given by God to man in antiquity and passed through a series of prophets, which included Zoroaster and Plato
.
And just why are we writing about this?
.
Because it is part of our heritage and sometimes it is interesting to know where things comes from
.
And yes there is indeed a single true history of humanity which one day we will be made aware of
.
There is also as we have written many times a Perrenial or Ancient Wisdom and all of the various writings by Socrates, Zoroaster, Plato, Hermes Trismegistus and other Masters speak the same wisdom
.
Their teachings and writings are as valid today as they were when they taught them thousands of years ago
