Hermes and Christ
Hermes is not secretly Jesus. Hermetic ascent teaches knowledge of God, cosmos, mind, and rebirth; Christic Atonement teaches forgiveness, Sonship, surrender, and awakening from separation. Hermes teaches the architecture and sacred science of the dream. Christ reveals the final truth beyond the dream. Hermeticism maps the meaningful dream; Christ teaches awakening from it.
