The Pymander treatise not only belongs to the most important type
of the literature attributed to Hermes Trismegistus but is also the
most important document within that type. It constitutes, so to
speak, the Ground Gospel of the Hermetic Communities, in the form
of a revelation or apocalypse received by the founder of the
tradition. That founder, however, is not so much a historical
personage as the personification of a teaching-power or grade of
spiritual illumination -- in other words, of one who had reached
the Hermetic or rather "Thrice-greatest" state of consciousness or
enlightenment. This stage of enlightenment is characterized by a
heightening of the spiritual intuition that made the mystic capable
of receiving the first touch of cosmic consciousness, and of
retaining it in his physical memory when he returned to the normal
state. The setting forth of the divine teaching is thus naturally
in the form of apocalyptic scenes but of an ordered and logical
nature. The treatise purports to be a setting forth of the
spiritual "Epopteia" ("seeing beyond") of the Inner Mysteries, the
Vision revealed by the Great Initiator or Master Hierophant, the
One Mind of all-masterhood. This Vision, as we are told by many
seers and prophets of the time, was incapable of being set forth by
"tongue of flesh" in its own proper terms, since it transcended the
consciousness of normal humanity. Being in itself a living potent,
intelligible reality, apart from all forms either material or
intellectual in any way known to man, it pervaded his very being
and made his whole nature respond to a new key of truth, or rather,
vibrate in a higher octave so to say, where all things while
remaining the same, received a new interpretation and intensity.
