Psychologist-Turned-Hermeticist Releases Modern Guide to the Seven Hermetic Principles
The Californer/10318321

AMSTERDAM - Californer -- Psychologist and consciousness researcher Frater C.D.M. has released his debut book The Code of Reality, offering a practical interpretation of the ancient Seven Hermetic Principles. The book aims to help readers understand the hidden structures behind their thoughts, emotions, and reality itself, without the usual cliches and dogma found in most self-help books.

Written for modern seekers, skeptics, and creatives alike, The Code of Reality bridges timeless metaphysical insights with contemporary psychology, neuroscience, and systems theory. Instead of presenting esoteric knowledge as abstract or mystical, Frater C.D.M. translates it into clear, actionable tools for self-awareness and change. It explores core Hermetic teachings such as Mentalism, Polarity, Rhythm, and Cause and Effect as symbolic lenses to analyze and rewire internal thought structures.

Each chapter includes practical exercises, diagrams, and personal mapping techniques designed to induce deep self-inquiry. According to author Frater C.D.M:

"If readers approach this work and the exercises with rigorous honesty, I can almost guarantee they won't recognize the person they've become by the end of that journey."

The Code of Reality also includes access to a free interactive workbook that allows readers to log insights, track psychological patterns, and print their progress. This platform makes it easy to integrate what the book teaches into everyday life, both digitally and offline.
