The ancient Hermetic principles were said to be sealed except to those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
The symbols chosen for this project were inspired by a book called the Kybalion by the Three Initiates, originally published in 1912, an unassuming work that explains the Seven Natural (or Hermetic) Laws of Truth, attributed to the wisdom of ancient Egypt.
The seven symbols in the image above each represent one of these natural laws, which were stated as: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause & Effect, and Generation or Gender. The meaning behind the symbols – the laws involved in every aspect of our lives – is what is most important; the symbols are merely placeholders, just as our physical lives represent the infinite, multidimensional nature of our souls. As magnificent and boggling as our physical bodies and this material Universe appear to be, they are but shadows of the even greater awe-inspiring reality of our meta-personal, holographic, multi-dimensional existence.
"What an awesome experience just watching these. I felt drawn in and at some point fell into a trance, only noticeable when I came back out a few seconds later and realized how deep the images took me. Really cool." - Dr. Jodine Turner, Author of
The Awakening and Keys to Remember.
"Actually, I've never used a screen saver before, but I will now. I greatly value the wisdom of the Hermetic laws, and to have sacred geometry symbols representing these principles is very meaningful for me. Now I can bathe in their beauty and wonder daily! Thank you for your insight, art, and wizardry."

Our intent is to share, with both text and images, a reflection of the deeper understanding that exists within us all. This collection of animations and these accompanying words are designed to be reminders of a philosophical system of alchemy we can apply to any situation, at any point in space or time. The alchemy we refer to is one of transmuting the base experiences of 3-D life on planet Earth into the golden understanding of the truth of our selves as co-creators with the infinite.
These symbols can act as signposts - mirrors of our awareness of interconnectedness - as we explore our own consciousness, recognize the interwoven context of inner and outer worlds, experience the amazingly diverse spectra of life, learn to transcend polarized thinking and feeling by allowing more compassion for ourselves and others, flow more effortlessly with the rhythms that life presents at every turn, become more adept at harnessing the stupendous fractal web of our individual and collective choices, and integrate the balancing lessons that come from grateful acknowledgment of the omnipresent creative wisdom in all life.
Mika & I hope you have as much fun exploring these universal symbols as we did collaborating on this project. May it serve as a catalyst for renewed enthusiasm, joyous kindness to self and others, and a useful metaphoric map of the truth we all share.
