What are human beings made of? We are multi-dimensional beings that bind energy, emotion and consciousness all in one piece.
Transcending personality and the constraints of time. As we navigate through these layers, notice what speaks to you. If something connects with your intuition at any moment, share it in the comments. The sharing of insights is essential to the vibrancy of this community
A soul that temporarily animates a body. The physical form is the densest expression of consciousness, but not its origin. It is simply the outermost layer of a much larger, more luminous ladder of light. So before we explore the higher realms, we start mastering the physical reality.
This physical body is the temple of experience. It's how consciousness interacts with matter, how the subtle worlds express themselves through action, sensation, and behavior. But Hermeticism insists on something profound. Nothing that appears in the body, begins in the body. Every physical imbalance has an energetic, emotional, or mental root.
The body is the final echo of deeper movements happening within the inner layers of the self. If you've ever felt that your body reacts to your emotions, your thoughts, or your stress, long before you consciously understand what's happening, tell me in the comments. This awareness is the beginning of hermetic perception.
Now beyond the physical exists, the layer that keeps us alive, even when we aren't consciously aware of it, the etheric body. This is the field of life force, the energetic blueprint that sustains and shapes the physical body. Ancient hermetics described it as the double a matrix of vitality that holds the structure of every organ and every cell.
Today science calls this the biofield. Hermetics saw it as the bridge between matter and energy. When your etheric body is strong, you feel vitality, clarity, presence. When it is weak, everything feels heavier. Even simple tasks become difficult. This is the layer affected directly by breath, by sunlight, by nature, and by the environments we expose ourselves to.
Now we move into a subtler realm, the astral body, the home of emotions. This is the layer where desires, fears, joys, anxieties, and longings vibrate. It's also the body you use every night when you dream, which is why dreams often feel symbolic, emotional, and real in ways your rational mind can't explain.
Have you ever entered a room and immediately sensed tension or harmony without anyone speaking a word that was your astral body? Perceiving the astral field of others? Hermes taught that emotions are not random. They are movements of astral energy. Joy expands this body. Anger distorts it, fear collapses it, love harmonizes it, and this is why emotional healing is not just psychological.
It is energetic. If this resonates with your personal experience, remember to like the video so this knowledge can reach more people seeking depth and clarity. From here, we move upward toward the lower mental body, the layer of logic, language, memory, and personal narrative. This is where thoughts arise, where beliefs solidify, where identity forms Hermes connected this layer to the first law, the law of mentalism.
The all is mind. The universe is mental. This means everything in your reality begins in this mental layer, your assumptions, your interpretations, your self-concept. When this layer is chaotic, life becomes chaotic. But when it becomes disciplined, reality begins to respond With coherence yet beyond logic and personal narrative exists.
Another mind a higher one. The higher mental body is the realm of intuition. Insight, symbolic intelligence, creativity, and connection to universal wisdom. It's the layer that receives inspiration. The sudden understanding that seems to come from nowhere. Hermetic believed. This body connects us to what Jung later called the collective unconscious.
This is the mind that perceives patterns, truths, archetypes, the kind of knowledge you don't learn. But remember now we ascend to the causal body. Also known as the soul body. This is the layer that survives death. It holds the memories of all your lifetimes, the lessons you came to learn, the tendencies you carry, the calmer you are resolving, and the trajectory of your spiritual evolution.
It is the continuity of your existence, not the personality, but the soul behind all personalities. Hermeticism teaches that the causal body is what travels from life to life, gathering experience, integrating wisdom, expanding consciousness. The body you wear changes the mind, you use changes. The emotional patterns change, but the soul remembers everything.
Finally, we reach the highest and most subtle of all the ethnic body. The divine spark within this is not a body in the usual sense. It is a state of pure awareness, the point where the human soul touches the infinite. This is your connection to the all the divine essence that Hermes called the undivided light moments of mystical union.
Profound silence, deep presence, or unexplainable oneness come from this level. Hermetic masters believe that most spiritual paths, regardless of culture, are ultimately attempts to awaken this layer and remember our true nature. He lies one of the most beautiful hermetic insights human beings don't climb toward divinity.
They awaken to the divinity that was always within them. Now, when we look at the seven bodies as a whole, something essential becomes clear. They interact as one system. A thought becomes an emotion. An emotion becomes energy. Energy becomes physical sensation, and the physical body reacts likewise.
Healing can begin at any layer and ripple upward or downward. Hermeticism teaches that manifestation travels from subtle to dense, from idea to emotion, to energy to matter, and awakening travels the opposite direction. From matter to emotion, to mind to spirit, which of these layers do you feel you are currently developing the most?
