Event Description

Solering Atrium would like to invite all Rosicrucian Order members as well as non-members to our in-person Open Meeting and Discussion.

Secret Sermon on the Mountain
(The Initiation of Tat)
From The Corpus Hermeticum translated by G. R. S. Mead, adapted for modern readers.

The Secret Sermon on the Mountain is the thirteenth tractate of the Corpus Hermeticum in the collection that has come to us through fifteenth century Constantinople. It is a dialogue between Hermes and his child Tat regarding mystical rebirth. The tractate concludes with a great invocation to the Divine.

Tat: In the General Sermons, father Hermes, you spoke in very unclear riddles about Divinity, and when you said that no one could be saved before Rebirth, you concealed your meaning.
Further, when I became your Suppliant, on descending the mountain, after you conversed with me, and when I longed to hear the Sermon on Rebirth (for this beyond all other things is just the thing I do not know), you said that you would give it to me, “when you have become a stranger to the world.” For this reason, I prepared myself and made my thought a stranger to the world-illusion. Now, complete what I lack with what you said you would give me, the tradition of Rebirth, setting it forth in speech or in the secret way.
O Thrice-greatest one, I do not know from what matter and what womb we come to birth, or from what seed.
Hermes: Wisdom that understands in silence is the matter and the womb from which human beings are born, and the True Good is the seed.
Tat: Who is the sower, father? I am altogether at a loss. Hermes: It is the Divine Will, my child.
