Summary
In this podcast, you’ll learn the first Hermetic Principle, Mentalism, and how your mind shapes your lived reality through the meanings you assign, the attention you rehearse, and the actions you take. Chris breaks down how “raw data becomes a story, the story creates emotion, emotion pressures action, and action creates consequences,” then ties it directly to Adlerian psychology, mindset training, and practical personal responsibility. If you’re into Hermetic Principles, manifestation with backbone, mental discipline, and self mastery that actually changes behavior, this episode gives you a clear framework to stop confusing interpretation with reality and start steering outcomes on purpose.
You can expect concrete tools you can use immediately in relationships, work, and daily life, including widening the gap between stimulus and response, generating three plausible meanings before you react, and running an “attention audit” so you stop feeding resentment loops, doomscrolling, and negative self talk. Chris also shares a relationship repair line that turns accusation into curiosity, plus a simple morning and night practice to train your mental filter and build evidence based confidence. This is for anyone who wants stronger emotional regulation, cleaner communication, better relationships, and a spiritual lens that stays grounded in standards, values, and real world results.

| 0:00.0 | Grand Rising, guys. Today I'm getting started a little bit later than normal, but I'm doing |
| 0:03.7 | something for the first time. Instead of typing a Christmas corner, I'm recording one. Over the next couple of weeks, maybe, maybe the next week and a half, Christmas and the holidays are going to fuck up my schedule a little bit. But my goal is to record the hermetic principles and what they mean to me and how you can implement them in your life. And this is one of those things that I'm doing because I want to help instill it in my own life and journaling about it, |
| 0:24.7 | writing about it, creating this content is going to help instill these in me because I'm creating |
| 0:29.2 | a platform. I'm creating a bill. It's not the right word. I'm creating, I don't know, |
| 0:37.2 | the platform is not the word I'm looking for. I'm |
| 0:38.9 | creating something tangible that you guys can reference to, to like help explain these hermetic |
| 0:43.8 | principles to you. Um, I'm doing this for a few reasons that the first one is what I just said. The other one |
| 0:49.7 | is that when we create our church and we start implementing the things that we're trying to implement, |
| 0:54.7 | the hermetic principles will be the foundation of the church. |
| 0:57.8 | And without getting too much into the whole church aspect, what we do when we do the church |
| 1:02.3 | is not to remove people away from their religion or their faith. |
| 1:05.0 | It's just to add other insights that could potentially benefit their life. |
| 1:08.6 | So with that being said, I want to jump directly into this. |
| 1:11.9 | The first hermetic principle is mentalism. The all is mind. The universe is mental. The all is |
| 1:18.6 | ultimate reality and spirit. So when we refer to the all, we mean the ultimate reality and spirit. |
| 1:24.8 | The principle is saying that mind isn't just something that happens inside the |
| 1:28.7 | universe. Mind is the medium through which your reality is experienced and shaped. So in other words, |
| 1:35.0 | your inner world doesn't merely react to life. It selects, interprets, organizes, and then aims your |
| 1:40.4 | behavior and your behavior build your outcomes. You see reality hits you as raw data, |
| 1:45.1 | then your mind turns it into a story, then your story produces emotion, the emotion pressure is |
| 1:50.1 | action, and then action creates consequences. Mentalism is basically saying that if you want to |
| 1:54.8 | change the consequence, you have to be honest about the meaning that you assign to the story. |
