The same emphasis on connection appears in discussions of mycelial networks, systems theory, symbolism, literature, and even the reports of those who describe psychedelic experiences as a sudden awareness of interconnectedness.

Perhaps correspondence persists because it reflects a deeply human way of perceiving the world: not as a collection of isolated facts, but as a web of relationships where patterns echo across scales, revealing unexpected similarities between the inner and outer, the personal and collective, the microcosm and the macrocosm. Instead of a search for hierarchy, it becomes a search for integration.

Alongside correspondence, the principles of Mentalism and Alchemy are some intriguing aspects of Hermetic thought.

This is perhaps why I was not surprised to see artificial intelligence described as a form of modern alchemy. Alchemy was never merely about transforming lead into gold or altering the physical properties of matter but was equally concerned with transformation itself—the transmission of forms, the transmutation of states, the movement between the concrete and the abstract.

In many ways, it was a philosophy of becoming. Mentalism extends this further through the proposition that reality is fundamentally mental in nature, drawing attention to the extraordinary capacity of imagination, symbolism, and thought.

Hence the popular phrase "imagination has no limits" echoed this principle for me, for the mind can conceive of worlds, possibilities, and structures far beyond the constraints of the body.

Yet Hermeticism is not a rejection of material reality. Rather, it exists in the tension between possibility and limitation, between what can be imagined and what can be enacted. To think alchemically is not simply to dream but to ask what can be transformed? what can be directed? and what remains bound by the conditions of existence.

It's really crazy yet powerful to have people verbalize and reflect what you're thinking. The more you think about what kind of energy you want to radiate; the more others will not only feel it but tell you exactly how you are trying to come across as. You wanna have the aura of a dark, ethereal, soul snatcher, you have to deeply think about it and meditate on it. Here's some tips:

-Enter into the dark void by meditating on how you want to be perceived in the dark or closing your eyes alone or with silence. Become that darkness and envision yourself as the black hole in space.

-Look into the mirror and enter into a trance whether its hand mirror or bathroom mirror and try to put yourself in a trance. The world and others hypnotize you through social media all day why not hypnotize yourself. You look into the mirror and say for example, "I am enchanting, "I am beautiful, I am magnetic, etc". Say it until you fall into a trance.

-Learn to embody after these steps you'll then start to embody the energy you want to become deeply and fully, however, for lasting results this has to be practiced frequently. Watch how your energy changes and see how people start to pick up on it.

Hello, finally time for new posts. I asked myself, "What should I post right now?" and "Which topic would be more useful to people if they think it is worth reading and spend a couple of minutes?" Then I realized, people who will read it(which is you, btw)could tell me what they want to learn.

So, please send me a dm or comment here. What topic would you like to see covered next? It could be related to observation, deduction, philosophy, psychology and even life, really. Just let me know and I will deliver something worth your time.
