Exploring The 7 Hermetic Principles & How To Use Them As A Way To Improve Our Finances
When it comes to achieving financial well-being, we often focus on practical strategies like budgeting, investing, and saving. While these are essential, there’s a deeper, often overlooked layer to financial success. Our relationship with money is not just about numbers—it’s tied to our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
In this post, we’ll explore how the 7 Hermetic Principles, derived from the ancient wisdom of The Kybalion, can help us master our finances from a holistic perspective. These universal laws—Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender—offer profound insights into the nature of reality and how we interact with the world, including our financial lives.
Let’s dive in and see how these principles can transform your approach to money and help you create a more balanced and abundant financial future.
The Principle of Mentalism
"The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental."
The Principle of Mentalism teaches us that our thoughts shape our reality. What we believe about money influences the actions we take and the outcomes we experience. If you believe financial success is within reach, your thoughts and actions will align to make it happen.
Application to Finances:
Mindset and Beliefs: Cultivate a positive money mindset through affirmations, gratitude, and visualization. These practices reinforce the energy of abundance and help you feel like you already have "enough."
Goal Setting: Set clear financial goals and take intentional steps to achieve them. It’s not enough to wish for financial success; you must also map out how you’ll get there.
Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Identify negative beliefs about money, like “money is the root of all evil,” and reframe them. Reflect on where these beliefs stem from—often, they’re rooted in societal or parental conditioning.
The Principle of Correspondence
"As above, so below; as below, so above."
This principle reveals that patterns exist across all planes—physical, mental, and spiritual. Your internal financial state (mindset) is often a reflection of external realities, such as the broader economy or systemic structures.
Application to Finances:
Macro and Micro Patterns: Pay attention to the larger economic trends to guide your financial decisions. For example, during periods of economic growth, explore income opportunities. During recessions, focus on saving and reassessing spending.
Personal Alignment: Align your financial decisions with your core values to ensure they resonate with your life’s purpose. Money can bring happiness when used in ways that reflect what you truly value.
Systemic Awareness: Recognize how societal structures impact individual finances. Policies influence spending and saving behaviors, creating patterns that affect the collective.
The Principle of Vibration
"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."
Everything, including money, has its vibrational frequency. Your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors influence this energy. The higher your vibration, the more likely you are to attract abundance.
Application to Finances:
Financial Energy: Treat money as energy that flows in and out of your life. A positive relationship with money keeps this flow healthy.
Attracting Wealth: Raise your vibrational frequency by maintaining positive emotions and actions around money.
Emotional Awareness: Avoid making financial decisions from low-vibration emotions like fear or anxiety. Instead, make choices rooted in joy, peace, and confidence.
The Principle of Polarity
"Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites."
Polarity reminds us that extremes exist in all areas, including finances. Wealth and poverty are two ends of the same spectrum. Finding balance is key.
Application to Finances:
Wealth and Poverty: Shift your financial habits to move closer to wealth and away from scarcity.
Balancing Extremes: Avoid extremes like oversaving without enjoying life or overspending without saving. Aim for moderation.
Resilience: Remember that downturns are temporary. Knowing this can help you remain optimistic and adaptable.
The Principle of Rhythm
"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall."
Rhythm reminds us that life moves in cycles, including our financial lives. Recognizing these cycles helps us plan and prepare.
Application to Finances:
Market Cycles: Understand the natural cycles of economic growth and decline to make smarter investment decisions.
Personal Financial Cycles: Budget not only for the month ahead but also for seasonal changes in expenses.
Emergency Funds: Save during periods of abundance to prepare for financial downturns.
The Principle of Cause and Effect
"Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause."
Every financial decision has consequences, whether immediate or long-term. Being intentional is essential.
Application to Finances:
Intentional Actions: Every dollar you save, invest, or spend creates a ripple effect. Be mindful of how these choices impact your financial future.
Long-Term Planning: Small, consistent habits—like saving regularly—lead to significant outcomes over time.
Avoiding Impulsiveness: Think through financial decisions to avoid negative consequences like debt or missed opportunities.
The Principle of Gender
"Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles."
This principle isn’t about biology—it’s about the interplay of action (masculine energy) and creativity (feminine energy). A balanced financial approach uses both.
Application to Finances:
Masculine Energy: Take decisive actions like setting ambitious goals or investing.
Feminine Energy: Cultivate patience and creativity by planning, saving, and nurturing your resources.
Balanced Strategy: Combine assertive action with thoughtful preparation. For example, create a diversified investment portfolio that includes both high-growth and stable options.
Mastering your finances goes beyond practical steps—it’s about understanding and aligning with the universal principles that govern all aspects of life. The 7 Hermetic Principles provide a roadmap for achieving a holistic approach to financial success.
Once I began embodying these truths, my financial life transformed. From eliminating $20,000 in debt to building a $40,000 investment portfolio and achieving consistent $10,000 months in my business, these principles were game-changers.
