课程名称：《赫尔墨克外星哲学》 课程概述： 《赫尔墨克外星哲学》是一门探讨赫尔墨克主义的宗教与哲学传统的课程，赫尔墨克主义基于被归于赫尔墨斯·特里斯梅吉斯图斯（意为“三重伟大”）的著作。这些著作深刻影响了西方的神秘传统，并被视为文艺复兴和宗教改革时期的重要文献。赫尔墨克主义主张存在一种“古典真神论”，即一种单一真理的神学存在于所有宗教中，且是神在古代赐予人类的。 许多基督教作家，如拉克坦提乌斯、奥古斯丁、托马斯·阿奎那等，都认为赫尔墨斯·特里斯梅吉斯图斯是一位预见基督教的智慧异教先知。赫尔墨斯的“三重伟大”源于《赫尔墨斯绿宝石》，其内容提到他掌握了宇宙智慧的三部分：炼金术、占星术和神秘仪式。赫尔墨克主义与1300年至1600年间科学发展的紧密联系，使其在当时受到极大的重视，吸引了许多科学家对魔法等相关艺术的探索，认为这些领域能够通过实验测试自然。 在赫尔墨克哲学中，终极现实被称为上帝、全体或一体。赫尔墨克主义强调单一的、超越的上帝观念，认为所有生物共同参与于这个宇宙的绝对存在。此外，赫尔墨克主义者还信奉古典真神论，认为历史上存在一种真实的单一神学。 赫尔墨克哲学提出的“上如其下”这一格言，在神秘和魔法领域中广为流传，指的是不同现实层面的相互联系。这一原则强调个人（微观宇宙）与宇宙（宏观宇宙）之间的相互映照，理解一个层面可以帮助理解另一个层面。 本课程旨在深入探讨赫尔墨克主义的思想、影响及其在科学、哲学中的重要性，让学员了解这一古老智慧如何影响现代思想及其在当今世界的意义。
Hermeticism, also called Hermetism, is a religious and philosophical tradition based primarily upon writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus ("Thrice Great"). These writings have greatly influenced the Western esoteric tradition and were considered to be of great importance during both the Renaissance and the Reformation. The tradition claims descent from a prisca theologia, a doctrine that affirms the existence of a single, true theology that is present in all religions and that was given by God to man in antiquity. Many Christian writers, including Lactantius, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Marsilio Ficino, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Giordano Bruno, Campanella, Sir Thomas Browne, and Emerson, considered Hermes Trismegistus to be a wise pagan prophet who foresaw the coming of Christianity. An account of how Hermes Trismegistus received the name "Thrice Great" is derived from the The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, wherein it is stated that he knew the three parts of the wisdom of the whole universe. The three parts of the wisdom are alchemy, astrology, and theurgy. The Poimandres, from which Marsilio Ficino formed his opinion, states that "They called him Trismegistus because he was the greatest philosopher and the greatest priest and the greatest king." The Suda (10th century) states that "He was called Trismegistus on account of his praise of the trinity, saying there is one divine nature in the trinity." Much of the importance of Hermeticism arises from its connection with the development of science during the time from 1300 to 1600 AD. The prominence that it gave to the idea of influencing or controlling nature led many scientists to look to magic and its allied arts (e.g., alchemy, astrology) which, it was thought, could put Nature to the test by means of experiments. Consequently, it was the practical aspects of Hermetic writings that attracted the attention of scientists. Isaac Newton placed great faith in the concept of an unadulterated, pure, ancient doctrine, which he studied vigorously to aid his understanding of the physical world. Many of Newton's manuscripts-most of which are still unpublished-detail his thorough study of the Corpus Hermeticum, writings said to have been transmitted from ancient times, in which the secrets and techniques of influencing the stars and the forces of nature were revealed. Philosophy In Hermeticism, the ultimate reality is referred to variously as God, the All, or the One. God in the Hermetica is unitary and transcendent: he is one and exists apart from the material cosmos. Hermetism is therefore profoundly monotheistic although in a deistic and unitarian understanding of the term. "For it is a ridiculous thing to confess the World to be one, one Sun, one Moon, one Divinity, and yet to have, I know not how many gods." Its philosophy teaches that there is a transcendent God, or Absolute, in which we and the entire universe participate. It also subscribes to the idea that other beings, such as aeons,angels and elementals, exist within the universe. Prisca theologia Hermeticists believe in a prisca theologia, the doctrine that a single, true theology exists, that it exists in all religions, and that it was given by God to man in antiquity. In order to demonstrate the truth of the prisca theologia doctrine, Christians appropriated the Hermetic teachings for their own purposes. By this account, Hermes Trismegistus was (according to the fathers of the Christian church) either a contemporary of Moses or the third in a line of men named Hermes-Enoch, Noah, and the Egyptian priest-king who is known to us as Hermes Trismegistus. "As above, so below." See also: Correspondence (theology) The Magician displaying the Hermetic concept of "As above, so below." These words circulate throughout occult and magical circles. The actual text of that maxim, as translated by Dennis W. Hauck from The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, is: "That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracle of the One Thing." Thus, whatever happens on any level of reality (physical, emotional, or mental) also happens on every other level. This principle, however, is more often used in the sense of the microcosm and the macrocosm. The microcosm is oneself, and the macrocosm is the universe. The macrocosm is as the microcosm and vice versa; within each lies the other, and through understanding one (usually the microcosm) a man may understand the other.
