PREFACE

Since time immemorial, evil has been growing in extent around the world. It has become deep-seated in every aspect of life, but it is not only embodied in persons’s acts and misdeeds, but is also present in abstract and concrete things. It is deep-rooted and omni-present everywhere and is hidden in almost everything in varying degrees.

You wake up in the morning, you can find garbbage in front of your gate left by your next door neighbor, or you can find your neighbor’s car out there blocking your entrance. These remain only mundane things you may have encountered in your daily life before, yet the underlying evil Maria Akif went through in her challenging life was of another nature.

Maria has been living a quiet and peaceful life matching serenity of the soul with that of the body, until one day, everything started to change dramatically, then it went from bad to worse.

Her only sin was that she was too good for persons around her and was not fitting into the devilish puzzle they designed for themselves, it was rather a maze not a puzzle.

Her only sin was that her presence was a nuisance to those with evil intentions. 

Her only sin was that she was a peace seeker,  hoping that the evil realm would one day change and become a dream world. 

Her only sin again might be her spreading goodness and shining with good ideals like a zultanite gem in a claddagh ring.

She empersonified goodness in this world heavily sunk in the morass of evil and ill intentions.

Her friend Igor, in an attempt to help her overcome hard times, initiated her to the teachings of Hermes trismegistus, the greek and egyptian greatly wise philosopher. 

Maria starts palliating her attitude to life as she aims to apply the seven pillars of the hermetic philosophy : Mentalism, Correspondance, Vibration, Rhythm, Polarity, Cause and effect, Gender.

She came to realize that there is no good without evil and that they are two extreme poles of the same thing. She learnt how to capt energy with her mind and neutralize evil. Since everything is in motion and nothing stays the same, she started reconciling with herself and her feminism. Her insight regarding Gender and life changed, she is convinced that everything has a masculine and a feminin side to varying degrees. This was a consolation to her. In this way, her life knew more comfort, stability and radiance.

Chapter I. The moving doll

Maria went to a flea market looking for some rare medieval treasures. Her attention was drawn to a beautiful standing doll who can walk and wink with cute hazel eyes. Her bair was brownish and curly like Maria’s. The doll came from a medieval era, wearing a green handmade knitted hat and a greenish strawy dress with white socks and shoes on her tiny and tidy feet.

She liked the immaculately sparkling doll so much that she decided to buy it for as little as 5 dollars only and started looking into more items for sale. She found an old jewish candelabre and a decorative copper jewish plate to be hung on walls. She bought the three items and left the shop in a hurry.

Maria’s mom noticed the doll standing at a corner in Maria’s bedroom and started nagging at her daughter :

« What, the hell, are you looking for ? this doll is winking and moving her legs like the heroine in the phantom of the opera, you should get rid of it immediately » said the frenzied lady.

« But mom.. she’s beautiful, Her dress is dazzling ! » said Maria.

« Tomorrow is Halloween, I don’t want to see things like this here ! you ruggid doll, vanish into hell ! » said the mother scared at the moving doll.

The following day, Maria’s mother took the poor doll and put it in the trunk of the car, hoping not to see it on the halloween. In the evening, she went with her friend Sara to do some shopping. As she tried to put what she bought in the trunk of the car, her eyes catched the mobile creature winking at her.

« It is outrageous, I cannot bear seeing this bloody doll this evening, it is a bad omen ! » said the lady angrily.

« Give it to me, give it to me ! » said the mother’s friend, « my daughter Reem likes porcelain dolls like this one, i will give it to her » shouted Sara.

« Then, you take it, I dont want to see it again» said Maria’s mother.

The moving doll started mechanically stepping with her legs like a baby child and winking as if in euphoria.

Sara took the doll hugging it like a close buddy and vanished into her house.

That evening, Maria had a series of terrible stomachache, convulsions and spasms. She felt like a knife was stubbing her stomach and side ribs. She started screaming and the pain was so unbearable that she started having very low blood pressure to the point of vomitting all she had in her guts, she felt she was about to die and started screaming loudly. Her mother gave her some soothing pills.

Late at night, Maria resorted to sleep and saw the doll in her dreams talking to her and warning her not to trust Sara. She saw, in her dreams, Sara using pins on the doll’s body. The doll was wrapped in a cloth, like a stinking mummy, and Sara was reciting psalms over it to make Maria feel pain and torture. After that, Maria woke up shouting as she felt strangled to death.

Chapter II. The spell

Maria put the candelabra and the plate on an egyptian wooden drawer gilded in gold. The plate contained some hebrew inscription inside a pentacle and things she could not decipher and yet, Maria liked keeping mysterious an esoteric things. She would lighten up few small candles and put them in the candelabra’s holders. This would quieten her down in the darkness of the lonely night.

Time elapsed, the doll would return and appear in her dreams carrying the candelabra, escorted by two strong men talking in a language she could not decipher.

The two men recited something quickly in  weird language but they vanished quickly as they recited their psalms. The ritual would repeat itself in her dreams so often.

Maria was a traveller. Indeed, her soul would carry her to remote places she never saw before. She saw Jerusalem in her dreams and prayed at the Maria Magdalena cathedral. She flied to Mount Zion and  the scene would come through her mind like a sequence of flash movies.

Maria saw all those places and knew their names and made special prayers there only to wake up, and find out that she was only dreaming.

That was not the first or the last time it happened to her, her soul would fly overseas and take her to remote countries for as short as half an hour and would bring her back to her home.

She was an ever flying traveler. She would see her soul escorted by big creatures like pelicans flying from each side to protect her, they seemed to be more like dinosaurs with wings.

Maria used also to have visits from jewish wizards, and families in her dreams. She would not understarnd why.

One day, she décidés to put aside over an old egyptian wooden drawer all the jewish items she cherished and forgot about them.

Chapter III :  Dark Evil 

Aaliyah, Maria’s sister, who met her beloved husband at work, changed totally after their marriage that lasted twenty years ago, as her character became identical to her husband’s and she no more had the same personality as before. Twenty years is a long time but not long to the point of loosing one’s identity.

After that damned marriage, Aaliyah had psychological troubles. She would change her mood quickly and could loose consciousness at any time. What is shocking is that she started having fits and she would give forecasts about her surrounding acquaintances. 

« That is like exhorcism ! isn’t it » said Maria to her mother.

« I don’t know » answered her mother.

« I think her husband’s family are behind her mood and state » went on the mother.

Aaliyah’s caracter became of great complication. Not only she learnt whimsical reactions from her husband but that was coupled with scepticism and ill intentions.

She became, like her sick husband, believing that everyone around her could make a spell to her. She was abnormally sceptical to the point of not dealing with her neighbors and family members nor anyone. She has not a single friend in her life.

One day as she lost consciousness, in one of her terrible famous fits, she started talking about each one of her family member, warning them of great misfortunes coming in their way.

She talked focusing on Maria and told that the latter was under a jewish spell and began describing the person who casted the spell to her.

She baffled everyone with her shocking forcasts and she spared no one, as if everyone was subject to a spell of black magic.

Maria made no head or tail from those nonsense uttering, so not knowing what to do, she was confused and started thinking about people with the description Aaliyah talked about.

She could identify nobody with that depiction and her mental health began to suffer as a consequence of that. Maria was thinking all the time and ruminating in vain, although she does not pay heed to such trivial things.

Maria started seeing nightmares under the influence of that forecast. She was about to go nuts. She knew that she liked jewish food and would often cook some jewish delicious recipes but does that have a link with the spell. That was truly amazing. She felt the forecast in itself was a spell cast on her.

« You should not pay heed to Aaliyah’s words, she is almost crazy and I feel she is going to drive everyone crazy» told Sara to her daughter Maria.

Anyone in Maria’s heels could help thinking about those forecasts and not having a headache.

Despite her mother’s warnings, Maria started doing some research about black magic in an attempt to understand more about spells and curses.

She found out that black magic was deep-seated since ancient times and that some curses were targeting special persons. Those acts were undertaken with the help of items like dolls representing the target, being stabbed with a needle to make that target feel pain and torture, or inscriptions on items like candles, cloth or natural items referring to the target. It was also used with animal limb, whiskers, bones, heads, nails or skin. Some dangerous magicians could use even human limbs and blood. 

One finds also magic being made with part of the soil like sand and rocks. Photos of the target are also used sometimes. The act is accompanied while repeating recitations to draw the desired thing or curse, at times with some encens burning.

Maria also could discover many types of magic, namely, necromancy, practiced in the late Middle Ages, where demonic magic was usually performed in groups surrounding a spiritual leader in possession of necromantic books. 

Geromancy was also practiced during the Renaissance period and it was a form of divination where a person would cast sand, stone, or dirt on the ground and read the shapes in it. 

Hydromancy  is a form of divination using water to allow the practitioner to see illusionary pictures within it. 

Aeromancy, is also a divination consisting in tossing sand, dirt, or seeds into the air and studying and interpreting the patterns of the dust cloud or the settling of the seeds.

Pyromancy is the art of divination which consisted of signs and patterns from flames. 

Chiromancy  is a form of divination based on reading palms and based on intuitions and symbolism with some symbols linked to astrology. 

Scapulimancy  was a form of divination using an animal's scapula to read the future. It was generally broken by heating it with hot coals until it broke.

Since ancient times, witches have been prosecuted and practising magic was considered a hideous crime. Nowadays, it has become rife and practised sometimese openly.

In the twenthieth and twenty-first century, witches have been trialed and executed across europe for whitchraft. Many spell books were burned or made disappear, only few of them were hidden or have been classified surviving to that.

Chapter IV : Wandering souls

As a spiritual traveler, Maria lays down and close her eyes, her soul starts flying over the seas and in the skies. This has nothing to do with witchcraft. It was done without her being conscious and unvoluntarily. She was one of those persons who can leave their bodies and travel with their spirit anywhere.

She travellled with her spirit more often than in reality and she has seen countries she never visited before by just breathing heavily.

Maria’s soul was as pure as a white dove, flying in heavens, seeing sacred things and persons. 

Maria’s spirit was often escorted or taken by special locomotives and jets.  These were either  strange unusual creatures resembling to giant flying birds  or  pegasus.

No doubt, Maria was not an ordinary person as her soul flies to encounter other special souls like her overseas.

Maria’s soul, at times, would cross a sort of star gate and travel throughout space and time and see things quickly happening in the world in a snapshot like manner.

She could not understand many things as she was not really interested to know things that are irrelevant to her.

Yet, she was intrigued by many places she visited in her dreams like some sacred places she saw and enjoyed.

Yanis was a young gentleman that Maria met one day as she was attending a music concert. He was giving her a lot of attention  as he introduced himself to her. Maria felt at ease with him and found him well educated and well bred. He was also cultivated and very polite.

Yanis showed his interest to Maria many a times but the latter was like blindened by things going on in her life.

She learnt, later on, that he married a young woman and left to live with her in another city. That was a hard blow to Maria’s psyche. She decided to forget about him and live her life peacefully.

One day, she came across Yanis again. To her surprise, Yanis left the young lady he married. Things went awry and he wanted to resume seeing Maria.

Maria felt disappointed by his previous engagement, or to say the least betrayed. She, then, was trying to turn on the page and never think about Yanis again.

Strangely enough, the latter needed Maria just at the time when she felt not useful for him or for anybody.

She was not knowing what to do. Maria was actually avoiding seeing Yanis. She tried to be heedless and not pay attention to his phone calls or texting. 

Ironically, Yaniss was insisting to talk to her. He tried to seduce her. The two were feinging being just friends. However, for Yanis, Maria was more than a friend.

Yaniss was trying hard to get closer by talking about his plans for marriage . But, Maria looked indifferent and just changed the course of the conversation.

Days and months have passed, Yaniss wrote to Maria a letter in which he expressed his admiration and appreciation for her person. He hesitated about talking to her about his love.

Maria was not paying any attention to that letter. She just replied by a thank you note.

Yanis desperately tried to draw her attention to his feelings but no way. He just felt frustrated.

For Maria, Yanis was the perfect groom. Nevertheless, letting her down one day was a cruel thing to do and she was not ready to sacrifice her life for someone who disappointed her before.

Maria also found that Yanis was no more the same young men she met one day. He became bad-tempered and she would not tolerate his possessiveness. She decided to forget about Yanis.

For Yanis, that was insane to dump him and thought may be she was juste going through hard times.

« Maria, I think something seriously strange is happening to you. I don’t believe in magic and spells but your case is truly worrying and worth examining » said Yanis.

Maria pondered for a while about the word « spell » and realized it meant nothing as it was repeated continously by her sister and family and now by Yanis ! 

Maria was an altruistic person and was always giving charity to persons and animals alike. She could feel and understand the majority of creatures in her surroundings except for men. 

While, she was rumbling down town she met Rayan. Rayan was enamored with Maria if it were not for his wife. It happened that he had some troubles with the latter and a separation was due to take place, but their marriage turned into one of convenience.

" I was thinking about you last week ! » said Rayan.

« Why don’t we take a cup of coffee together ? » he went on.

Maria was wondering how Rayan was able to change his mind so quickly and talk to her this way especially that he’s still with his wife and no divorce was on the horizon.

He was insisting to see Maria and trying hard to get a date, but she just muttered something not acquiescing and not disapproving.

After the few words they exchanged, the two left, but Maria was kind of disgusted AT how can a man think about two women at once! Then she decided to forget about Rayan and stop answering his Valls as well to avoid him. She got fed up of pretentious people cheating.

She ultimately thought she needed no one in her life, but may be others needed her more.

Chapter V : Premonitory feelings

Maria had also another special gift, that of feeling what is going on and what is being said in her absence. She feels like waves of wind bearing bits and parcels of conversations to her ears. She was good at mind reading as she can feel what other people are thinking about her as well.

That makes her confused about many things, and despite it all, she does not know how to handle that matter and how to behave accordingly.

Maria’s reputation as a special person would often disturb many of her peers and earn her many ennemies for her, even among people she would not really know quiet well.

She lives a hard life because of that but she cannot change her lurid fate. If she’s not well liked because she’s a disctinct person, then it is out of hand and beyond her control.

Maria is a good communicator although she prefers to listen more than talk, because that is wiser and safer for her. Silence for hier was the Key.

She is a good listener, and likes to listen to others. But often others around her talk much more than her and do not pay heed to her feelings and what she has to say.

She is actually a discreet person so it does not matter after all if she’s being listened to. She keeps her most confidential secrets to herself. As such, many people find her quiet and strange most of the time and do not know what is in her small but equivocal brain.

Chapter VI : Psalms of salvation

Maria was determined to fight evil in her life and decided to recite daily psalms from the holy book to protect her life from the diabolic spell. She was often muttering few recitations that sometimes could have a good effect on stabilizing things and settling some issues in her life. She took them as daily rituals.

That means that the spell exists and that some supernatural powers are casting a bad influence on what she’s living. Are these powers performing rituals and what kind of spell is this ? so many unanswered questions were crossing her mind.

Maria was often alone and that comprised more risk for her being overwhelmed by negative powers. She tried to get more involved with people but was often drawn to seclusion to understand what’s going on around her and be at peace with her soul.

She was like a yugi or a guru always contemplating what was around in inspection and introspection and trying to understand messages that could be drawn from everything.

She also often dreamt of some persons telling her what to do to get healed from negative and evil powers. The only thing is that she forgets quickly about her dreams. A thing she could not understand. Once in Jerusalem, she dreamt of a jewish old man with grey hair and a beard giving her a paper containing some piece of advice to her on what to do. Unfortunately, as usual, she forgot what was written in the paper. 

Apparently, evil powers are trying hard to harm her.

As she is fond if nature, she remains sometimes alone in a cottage in the countryside and listens to the voice of nature. She gets more power and virbrating energy to face her troubles.

She has a strong interaction with elements of nature, she can feel wood, stones, water and the roaring winds. The sounds of nature play like music to her ears and her blood circulation is regenerated afterwards.

She acquired that gift of feeling natural things to the point of feeling any items made of energetic material, she can feel it and get an upload of energy and power, her blood flows quickly and her temperature changes. It is akin to the process of a battery upload.

In this way, Maria can interact with nature and has a strong feeling of what is being said and done around her.

What is sad and frustrating is when she cannot change anything although she knows the outcome and what’s going on. 

Maria’s life is full of ups and downs but although she has many gifts, her life is made difficult by evil doers. She is doomed to help others and facilitate for them many things, she can absorp negative things, whereas she suffers and draws troubles for her life, just like a candle lightening  up what is around and melting her way towards extinction.

She usually wakes up in the morning and goes to follow her charity service trying to help those in need, then starts off to work and then once out of work, she goes shopping for the charity first, then for her home. After that she can go to the charity service again, if she’s not tired at the end of the day.

Maria remembers that, in one of her dreams, she was guided to a big mountain in jerusalem of which she could barely discern the name « Mount Zion ». She discovered that the mount really existed in reality in a sacred place and decided to go there.

She took a flight to tel aviv and headed to that mount with her friend Marwa who guided her to the peak of the mountain.

Maria felt she already knew the place and decided to continue climbing and went up alone and scrutinzed the place the whole afternoon until sunset.

At some point, she noticed some smoke diffused into the air arising from the right corner of the mount and hurried up to see who is there. She found a big and deep cave into the mountain and heard some noise and voices. 

At the entrance of the cave, a big candelabra was drawn on the wall besides a big tree whose branches were spreading right and left on the walls and whose stems were deep-rooted on the ground. On another wall, there was a large red pentacle with quite weird symbols and handwritings in hebrew.

Maria stepped quickly inside. To her surprise, she found a guru like old man stirring a cooking pot on bushes that has been set up on fire, while performing some rituals and reciting some psalms. Close to him, were a couple, a young man and a woman standing beside him, crying and wailing as if disturbed by the whole thing done there. The lady was shouting «Set me free.. set me free ! ».

Maria was scared but remained silent, standing and watching not moving a limb. She was dumbfounded and speechless at that horrible scene. 

After a while, the couple left and the guru turned to Maria and asked her to sit on a rock that was carved in hebrew scripts.

The man told her that she had a spell and that the spell had to be removed. With no further details, Maria was tired and puzzled by what she saw. She just left the cave and promised the guru to come back later on when she is ready to be healed.

CHAPTER VII : The LIGHT WORKER

Maria decided to take leave from work and have a trip to the south where the beach and windy weather. She took the plane alone and to her surprise, there was an old lady in the seat beside her. The lady was asking for her permission to go to the lavatory every now and then.

There remains only 15 minutes for the plane to land off. Maria was stressed a bit. The lady beside her reassured her and started talking to her. 

Maria told her that she felt upset for something and that her intuition proved always right. The lady started asking her few questions.

« Do you have a special bond with animals ? » asked the lady.

« Yes, always, I like to help them » answered Maria.

« Can you read other’s mind and feel things happening or to happen beforehand » asked again the lady.

Maria was answering innocently the successive questions.

She realized that she forgot her credit card and had to call her family to send her Money. That is why she felt upset.

« You are one of the light workers. Light workers might have difficulties in their lives but are always carrying other’s troubles and helping them. They are highly intuitive, empathetic and sensitive. They spread love everywhere and are very spiritual » said the lady.

« Call me in case you want to talk about anything » she went on.

« Thank you » answered Maria with a broad smile.

Maria received so much information about her life earlier that she had enough of everything. That was the last straw, to go to a trip to take a buff of air and have another person talking about her life.

She was intrigued to learn more about this type of humans called « light workders ». Was she a distinct spesies of human ?! here is another question to answer.

Once in her room, Maria resorted to sleep and forgot about everything. She let the paper with the lady’s number slip from her bag as she was entering the hotel.

CHAPTER VIII : HERMETIC TEACHINGS

Maria was rumbling down town engrossed in a train of thought about all that was being told to her about her life. As she was walking absent-minded, a hand tapped over her shoulder, she turned quickly and that was a big surprise, it was Igor Marinov, one of her past aquaintances that she missed for many years.

« No ! Igor.. what came over you to disappear like a grain of salt in the ocean for years ? » she shouted.

« I miss you, how have you been ? » came the reply with a big warm hug.

« I was looking for your contact details but in vain ! » she answered.

« Let’s talk over some coffee, dear friend, am really glad to find you.. after all these years » told her Igor.

The two actually were thinking one day to marry each other, if it were not for Igor’ career. Igor was a diplomat who was ordered to leave to New Zealand with no further delay. He left at a time they were still thinking about their relationship. Igor was the most romantic man she has ever met in her life. At his last departure, he bid her farewell with a rosey bunch of flowers and sweet unforgettable words that no one expressed before.

Igor noticed the changes in her complexion growing with age. Her hair started getting some grey hue, whereas, Igor’s face gained creases and a beard. His face was still fringed by some strawy hair dangling over his emerald green eyes. 

« You lost your hair, Igor » said Maria inspecting her friend from head to toe.

Igor married a russian woman called Natalya and was traveling around the world. He was talking to Maria a lot about his family.

Maria interrupted him by sadly relating what she was going through in her life : despair, depression, disappointment, shock, sorrow, loneliness, deprivation, contempt, animosity, hatred, discrimination, greed, revenge, lies, worries, seclusion, jealousy, weakness, injustice and helplessness. All of a sudden, Igor reacted to her.

« Have you ever read the hermetica, do you know about the Emerald Tablet of Hermes trismegistus ? » he asked.

« No, what is it about ? » asked Maria.

« Well, the Emerald Tablet was written by Hermes trismegistus, a philosopher from ancient greek and egypt who created the seven principles about life and the universe. It is a wise philosophy based on the following points :

-Mentalism : meaning that « all is mind ». Life and the universe with all its aspects is the spirit and a mental creation, whish explains how energy is subordinate to the mind.

-Correspondance : That which is below corresponds to what is above and that which is above corresponds to that which is below « as above as below ; as below as above ».

-Vibration : « Everything is in motion » the difference between different manifestations of matter, energy and mind is determined by varying rates of vibration.

-Polarity : « Everything is dual » affirming the principle of reconciliation of opposites. In this case « good and evil » are but poles of the same thing. One should know how to transmute evil into good by applying this principle

-Rhythm : Everything moves in and out ; up and down ; forward and backward, left and right ; in a pendulum-swing like manner, allowing for neutralization to be achieved.

-Cause and Effect : « Everything happens according to law », therefore one can know the cause to master the orientation of one’s life.

-Gender : The masculine and feminin are elements that are omnipresent in everything in the universe.

« I bet you should deepen your understanding of this philosophy I applied in life lately. It can help you understand your life and how to manage the underlying evil you are facing. » added Igor with his sparkling peridot eyes.

« Remember, the universe is mental, so rule your universe with your mind ! » added Igor.

« Should you need more information on this, I am here to guide you, my forever friend ! » he concluded.

Maria started pondering over the philosophy of the trice greatest wise Hermes, the wizard of all times.

Maria started doing research about Hermes and she learnt that he is a well-known figure in ancient hellenic Egypt that was thricely great given his wisdom in fields like astrology Alchemy and medicine. He left a heritage of few written texts, namely the Emeral Tablet and the Hermetica, a compilation of dozens of texts. 

After reading certain excerpts and translations of his texts, Maria felt her thinking was akin to Hermes’, his principles were in great harmony with her way of seeing things. That was actually of a great support to her in that critical moment of life.

Maria started reading scripts of Hermes’s conversations with Asclepius at times and his conversations with his son tat at others. These scripts were full of wisdom and philosophical meditations to be studied. She read some quotes as follows: 

“Such a person does not cease longing after insatiable appetites, struggling in the darkness without satisfaction. This tortures him and makes the fire grow upon him all the more.”she read in the Hermes Trismegistus, Hermetica: The Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius.

“Such a person does not cease longing after insatiable appetites, struggling in the darkness without satisfaction. This tortures him and makes the fire grow upon him all the more.”shuch quotes were mentioned in the Hermes Trismegistus, Hermetica: The Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius

“Birth is not the beginning of life - only of an individual awareness. Change into another state is not death - only the ending of this awareness.”― Hermes Trismegistus, Corpus Hermeticum.

“Nothing stands still - everything is being born, growing, dying - the very instant a thing reaches its height, it begins to decline - the law of rhythm is in constant operations....”― Three Initiates, Kybalion: A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece.

“Do not make the mistake of supposing that the little world you see around you - the Earth, which is a mere grain of dust in the Universe - is the Universe itself. There are millions upon millions of such worlds, and greater. And there are millions of millions of such Universes in existence within the Infinite Mind of THE ALL”― Three Initiates, Kybalion: A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece.

Maria started an introspection, noticing how she likes nature and all the elements of the universe, She started working more on her deep breathing and feeling the four elements of nature : air, water, fire and earth.  After all these elements of creation have all a power within themselves.

Maria is convinced that everything has got a certain energy within itself. She thinks that the universe is like a tree the subbranches of which are but a miniature of the all. The All is present in everything in air, in water, in fire, in stones, in animals, in humans and it is spiralling within each element.

Each molecule is a tiny bit of the universe. She started enjoying everything in her life, doing a lot of meditation, thinking positively and using her will to draw good things in her life.

Being a big thinker, Maria was using her senses to feel everything around to understand her universe.

She felt close to God, to heavens, to every creature. She felt her awareness being opened up to new understanding. Her spirit was lightly exalted into the seven heavens. She felt sparkling like a lonely star in the seventh sky.

Maria was radiating goodness and vibrating with every single molecule, feeling the All and the universe around.

She was getting closer to the essence of life. She felt regenerated or rather immortal.

Her intuition got stronger and she could feel everything coming towards her. Knowledge was flowing into her mind The key to her happiness was between her hands.

Maria was swinging to the rhythm of the pendulum-like attitudes and trying to transmute every situation to her interest.

She realized that life was easier than she has ever imagined and everything was going inside her mind.

Thanks to the hermetic philosophy, she could ponder on how to face the duality and extreme polarity in her life. She was vibrating to the rhythm of every phenonomon. Her personal philosophy, just like Hermes’s, was giving importance to the mind, spirit and soul. Both Maria and Hermes thinking was in motion just like everything in the universe.

Hermes trismegistus well deserved its nickname, being thrice greatly wise for his philosophy, knowledge and wisdom.

Her little head was like a planet orbitting in a well known space where white and black are harmoniously merging together and completing each other. Likewise, love and hatred, men and women, mobile and immobile, good and evil, positive and negative, life and death are identical.
