One of the very best talks yet! You had me scrambling from the Hermetica to Bruno on Amazon. Fascinating realizations on the origin of modern day religion, grounded in ancient Egypt. How wonderful it feels, to hear truths that would have left you burning at the stake, centuries ago.

Tommy,
In my quest I have had the great fortune to be exposed to many teachings/books, but I had never heard of the Hermetica before. I found the podcast amazing on the Hermetica. Am I the rule or the exception to my new found awareness of this treasure? I can't wait to get my copy of the book you recommended on Hermetica. Thank you, Dale.
