Hermeticism has its place in society. They didnt burn everyone at the stake and murder off countless souls to smother that flame out and usher in christianity for no reason. It is apart of this greater revolving set of rules or principles that govern this universe. I think it heavily ties into Christ Consciousness.

We are an incredible species, but we have an unfortunate forced amnesia. While we may be able to retain the mentality and understanding of things like the 7 principles of the universe, I feel as if there is another piece to the puzzle that puts all of that into action that we cannot seem to uncover or remember.

I definitely do not believe that life is meant to be full of struggle and physical pain though, but more instead the result of our search for knowledge. We are still under the rule of some nefarious group/entity/god whatever you would like to reference it as, and as the result we still have this amnesia, but our desire for knowledge continues to grow.

I would say that modern man is spiritually nutrient deficient.. While things like Acacia, Psilocybin, DMT may act as that nutrient buffer for the spirit, the offset is that it changes the frequency of the body and as a result the human conciousness IE your spirit has what is called in the radio telecommunications world as a weak signal or poor connection to the body temporarily while it manually searches for that signal, hence why you experience the "trip" or lapse in cognitive ability.

I once had a powerful experience where I was in the Black Knight Satellite circling the globe, I was living the life of every human whom had ever lived and recording the history of the human race through the eyes of every living soul. I could live lives in seconds, all while the time dilation made it seem as if I experienced the entire collective universe life by life.

I do not rule anything out anymore. I remember as a kid having a very experienced personality, I remember getting my booster shots and saying "this is it, time to forget" and then going to sleep for 20 years, waking up consciously and saying "its time to get started"

This life is extremely odd, and I feel like its only seemed boring because we have been massively suppressed spiritually...
