Excerpts From: “Conversations with Hermes the Logician.”
Never before published. Found in South of France.




1. What is God? This is the first question.

God is that which contains itself.



2. How does God contain Himself?

By being in the world.



3. What is the world?

The magnitude of heaven.



4. What, then, is heaven?

The magnitude of God.



5. Where is man?

Man is in the world.

In Heaven.

In God.

Yet God is in man.



6. What is man?

That which contains God, without limiting God.



7. How can man contain God?

By being the piece similar to the whole, which in turn is self-similar in scale.

Man is the world within the world.

The heaven within the heaven.

The God within God.




8. Does God need man?

God is that which needs nothing--not even itself. God is completeness of itself. God is the fullness.



9. Why does man need God?

Because man recognizes God--man comes to know God. Man is God's sustenance.

God and man are united in the world.



10. Why do they teach us man 'fell'?

Because man is hidden from God--only from his own shadow can man perceive God's light.




11. What to you mean?

The man only knows the not-God. Yet man can come to know God independently. Man is the only one who can look upon God every day, and choose not to see Him.


12. Why does man not see God?

Because he has choice.



13. Why would man choose not to see God?

For the Truth to be revealed; and for God to be known; God must be concealed. Man is that which hides God.



14. I don't understand.

Sit, my Son, sit Tat. It is all revealed in you!



------------------------



1. You said that God is the fullness--which is the radiance. Explain.

That which is full is complete. That which radiates overflows. While God is full to completion, his radiance becomes the world.



2. Does God, then, overflow?

Nothing is outside of God. All is contained within. What could God overflow into?




3. You said, "The World."

You have spoken rightly, my son.
