A free course inside the Everything IFS Academy
The Seven Hermetic Principles are often quoted, condensed into slogans, or treated as abstract metaphysical ideas. But in their original context, they were never meant to be motivational phrases or intellectual curiosities. They describe laws patterns that shape reality, consciousness, and human experience whether we notice them or not.
These principles come from the Hermetic tradition articulated most clearly in The Kybalion (1908), itself rooted in much older streams of metaphysical thought. Read carefully, they offer a framework for understanding how mind and matter interact, how change unfolds, and why inner experience mirrors outer movement.
This free course explores the Seven Hermetic Principles through classical Hermetic teaching and a lens thoughtfully informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS). It is not therapy, and it does not replace metaphysics or Hermetic philosophy. It is designed for those who want to engage these principles as living laws felt in the body, observed in patterns, and reflected in the inner world.
What This Course Offers
This course invites you to work with the Seven Hermetic Principles not as beliefs to adopt, but as lenses for perceiving reality more clearly.
Inside the course, you’ll explore:
Mind as the foundation of experience
Correspondence between inner and outer worlds
Movement and vibration as universal conditions
Polarity as a continuum rather than opposition
Rhythm as the law of rise and fall
Cause and effect beyond blame or fate
Gender as creative polarity, not social identity
Throughout the course, insights from Internal Family Systems (IFS) help illuminate how these principles show up internally how parts respond to change, polarity, cycles, and causation, and how steadier awareness can emerge without suppressing human experience.
This approach does not replace Hermetic teaching. It does not turn metaphysics into psychology. It offers another lens for noticing what is already there.
