Hermeticism

The Principle of Mentalism

The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.

The first Hermetic principle establishes that the fundamental nature of reality is consciousness. The entire universe exists within the infinite Mind of The All. Everything that appears to exist is a mental creation held within this Universal Mind, making thought the primary creative force.

The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.
