The #mentalism (see [[Day 151 - MENTALISM - Jan 01]]) was taught by **Hermes - the #messenger between the gods and the earth in the greek #mythology**. He is the one that understands the concepts of the #divine and is able to download them into #matter. In roman mythology this entity is called Mercury, in egyptian mythology this is #Toth (which is a greek misspelling, btw) or Djahuty what he was really called. He is the one that understands the laws of the universe, saying that everything is created in principles of numbers. As a mathematician he understood that numbers were projected into #geometry, so he became an #architect to understand it. Also #biology is geometry, so he was also the first physician and the god of #medicine. He understood how to heal through numbers, music, geometry and he wrote the principles of how everything was created, he called that the #law of the universe. He is the one that designed the #pyramid. The concept he taught was called the _**Hermatism**_ and that’s why they created these schools that were only for a few people and they were closing this teaching for a few and that’s why they called it the Hermetic school because it was closed, it was Hermetic, because of #Hermes. #### Why were the schools closed for a few? In atlantean times the school was open for everybody, but by thime the population began to blame the priests as they were the ones connected with the gods, but there were problems with the earth: so why do we have those problems when the priests are in connection with the gods... The priests and priestesses were persecuted, trapped and killed in many cultures, so they emmigrated and closed the schools. The priests then began to hide themselves, operating in the hidden, and only select people as scholars where they saw they passed certain tests. Also christians, islam and other main religions killed the hermetics because of their different way of thinking It was not the social level determining if one could attend or not, but they needed the support of the #rich and powerful people to be able to #survive economically. Also, they were focused on their topics, not wasting energy with people that don't really care. You needed to really go for this. The hermetic people are clear about that if you really want something, you have to work hard for it, so spending time and ressources in people who are not really up to it would be a waste of energy. So they take care of their own energy.
