The Hermetic tradition was a crucial factor in the development of Copernican cosmology as the Renaissance ushered in the golden age of alchemy with a flood of occult studies. Pagan mysticism has since remained the underlying religious philosophy of modern science. 🧵

The debt Copernicus owed to the Hermetica is shown by the fact that the three revolutionary ideas he was to famously propose—the Earth's motion in space, its rotation on its own axis, and the orbiting of the Earth and other planets around the sun—all appeared in the Hermetica.

Isaac Newton was greatly influenced by his study of alchemy, a field in which he was both a scholar and practitioner. His Hermetic obsession is evident in his contributions to the laws of motion, the theory of gravity, the advancements in optics, and the invention of calculus.

Newton famously translated the Emerald Tablet into English, which is the Hermetic text that gave birth to the infamous phrase "as above, so below." This phrase was popularized by the Satanist pioneers Blavatsky and Crowley, and it is also depicted in the image of Baphomet.

The Emerald Tablet focuses on the mechanics of the sun, as explained by Trismegestus which shares a strong similarity to Newton's theory.

“The sun's force is the greatest force of all, as it overcomes everything subtle and penetrates everything solid.”

The Emerald Tablet is the manuscript that contains the secrets of the philosopher’s stone, which is an alchemical potion that is believed to provide its consumer with immortality. This gnostic pursuit of ultimate enlightenment what transhumanists of today are striving towards.

The Kabbalistic tree of life is a gnostic version of the Ladder of Divine Ascent, with man traversing the celestial spheres, guided by occult knowledge and sorcery in place of Christ. It’s what Trismegistus describes as the ascension of the soul through the heavenly spheres.

A more complete depiction of the Copernican cosmological model was explained in the Hermetic text Poimandres. Notice how Hermes even describes the idea of an infinitely expanding universe, a fundamental principle of the Big Bang Theory.

The Large Hadron Collider is located at CERN, where a statue of Shiva symbolizes the Pagan sorcery revealed as the underlying religion that comprises the modern gnostic cosmology of Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Einstein, and their successors.

CERN Shiva represents their study of the “cosmic dance” of subatomic particles. Nataraja is a Hindu depiction of the god Shiva as the cosmic dancer. The god, who danced the universe into existence, preserves it, and will one day destroy it, is a symbol of shakti, or life force.

Theoretical physics is mirrored by Kabbalah, admittedly by many leading theoretical physicists themselves. Eduard Shyfrin demonstrated this in his book From Infinity to Man: The Fundamental Ideas of Kabbalah Within the Framework of Information Theory and Quantum Physics.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the occult origins of modern cosmology, which is backed by hundreds of pages of occult texts and far from what the Bible and Church Fathers taught. For more, please read my latest article and subscribe open.substack.com/pub/thereversi…
