Descrizione completa
The speaker analyzes the fourth discourse of the Corpus Hermeticum, comparing Hermes' teachings on the Divine Mind (Nous) with hadiths from the Ahl al-Bayt regarding intellect (Aql). The discussion highlights that true intellect is a spiritual gift chosen by the soul, distinguishing believers from those driven solely by bodily desires. A central theme is the microcosm-macrocosm relationship, where the human heart hosts armies of spiritual soldiers: angels of the intellect and demons of ignorance. The talk references narrations about Prophet Solomon and Jesus to illustrate that multiple spirits can inhabit a single entity, challenging the notion of a singular soul. The video further examines the ancient practice of ensoulment, where rituals were used to imbue statues, masks, and paintings with living spirits. Drawing on examples from the Bible, the Quran, and historical accounts of Egypt, the speaker argues that matter is not dead but asleep, capable of being awakened to host divine or lower intelligences through sacred art and alignment.
