Despite its triumphs, modern science remains limited to describing phenomena rather than uncovering the principles that generate them. Physics and chemistry explain how matter moves and interacts but cannot reveal why existence began. Hermetic philosophy proposes that beneath these laws lies a unifying intelligence—the Great Spirit, the One Mind, the All. What science calls “natural law” is but the outer reflection of an inner creative force: Magick. Far from superstition, Magick is the process by which consciousness becomes matter and matter returns to awareness. This essay explores Magick as the foundation of existence, where both the scientist and the Sage pursue the same Great Work—the reconciliation of the measurable with the infinite. “The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.” — The Kybalion
