About the Author

Matthew Barnes is an avid learner who spent his early years in North Carolina. He was born in Greenville, NC and has lived in New Bern, Roanoke Rapids, Henderson (where he spent most of his childhood) and Raleigh, where he attended the University of North Carolina State. After obtaining degrees in Biochemistry and Chemistry, he attended Chiropractic School in Marietta, Georgia, where he graduated third in his class. Since that time, he has studied acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and settled down in rural Tennessee with his wife, 3 cats, 4 dogs, a crazy mother-in-law and a partridge in a pear tree. He has been in Tennessee for over 20 years now.
His main interests are learning, exploring, exercising and writing. Most of his works so far have been on spiritual-type themes, though he has also written a book on self-investing- another one of his hobbies.

From the Author

I came across the Hermetic teachings years ago first by way of The Kybalion. Up to that point, I had an image of what I imagined Egyptian thought to be in my head. Boy was I in for a surprise.The ancient Egyptian teachings of Hermes were far different than what I had held in mind as Egyptian. The teachings were practical, and for me, a complete system of religious philosophy that included both our Western religious concepts of faith and prayer to a higher being as well as the Eastern religious ideas of meditation and enlightenment.  These teachings, it turns out, was the inspiration behind the Renaissance, which means "re-birth", and have been the (mostly uncredited) inspiration behind much of our modern science and modern thinking.  The Hermetica has turned out, for me, to be right up there with The Tao Te Ching. Whereas the Tao Te Ching concerns itself mostly with practical day to day living, The Hermetica dives into the purpose of life and why we are here. I really like that.  --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Matthew Barnes is an avid learner who spent his early years in North Carolina. During college, he experienced a stint with depression which led him to the works of the Eastern philosophers. He started writing simplified versions of the works he was inspired by in response to a friend that was struggling with religion. He hopes his attempts at simplifying the philosophies of ancient spiritual traditions will make them more accessible to Western minds, and in turn, will help bring peace to those, like his friend, who have found themselves lost in a world that, at times, seems so devoid of meaning and hope.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the Hermetica
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 5, 2020
The text adds stuff about rockets, cameras, supernovas, and "Om", Allah (?), "vibrations", replaces Atum with "IT", and removes all the Gods, removes Hermes hymn, adds new parts, and presents itself just like the original text...

That's insulting to Hermes, because it misrepresents his teachings and replaces them with someone elses.

You don't see Hindus rewriting the Bhagavad Gita, and adding new parts, and presenting it like the original, because they don't insult ancient texts. They add their interpretation separately, as a commentary.

Basically, it's a commentary.
