I quote “While Hermeticism speaks of a divine spark within each individual—a fragment of the All—Buddhism teaches the concept of non-self (anatta), denying a permanent, unchanging self.”
Eastern mystics says ‘sabhi sayane ek mat’ means all awakened beings define the absolute in same way, so if we are not able to understand similarity between them then we are at fault and our interpretation is faulty.
Here Hermeticism is denoting it as light but it is twinkling light like Star, so it is not constant but changing. And Buddh’s anatta also means it is not a noun or fixed thing but a flow.
I quote “Everything has dual aspects; opposites are identical in nature but different in degree.”
The polarity exists because the nature if mind is to divide everything into two. When we go beyond mind by practising meditation then we are able to see the whole at once!
Yes, the first law says all is mind - even the opposites are part of it - of one unified thing - and the opposites also not separate - they are just different in degree. Ie: darkness is not a thing in itself, just absence of light.
For me it means our thoughts have created the world that we perceive around us. And for everyone this world is different because everyone looks at it with themself as Hero in it!

I kinda do understand the similarity - the All here is similar to that "Buddha nature". They are definitely not static.
Excellently described. Kudos to you.
thanks a lot!
