לא בהכרח ...
זה מה שהספרי תקשור כותבים , המקורות שאני מכיר אומרים שהוא נקרא thrice great על שום "This last account of how Hermes Trismegistus received the appellation "Trismegistus," meaning "Thrice Great," is
derived from statements in the The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, that he knows the three parts of the wisdom of the whole universe.[18] The three parts of the wisdom are alchemy, astrology, and theurgy. The pymander, from which Marsilio Ficino formed his opinion, states that "they called him Trismegistus because he was the greatest philosopher and the greatest priest and the greatest king."[19]" מוויקפדיה , יש גם ערך בעברית אבל הוא פחות מפורט .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_Trismegistus הרמס העניק לי השראה רבה מתחילת דרכי , מאז שהתחלתי להתעניין במאגיה ההרמטית . הרמטי - זה על שמו ומשם גם נובע המשמעות של "סגור" במובן של קבוצות סגורות של אנשים את בטוחה שקראת את טבלת האיזמרגד ולא איזה שהוא "תקשור" שמתקרא כך ? הנה , זאת הגירסה של אייזק ניוטון !!!
Translation of Issac Newton c. 1680. 1) Tis true without lying, certain & most true. 2) That wch is below is like that wch is above & that wch is above is like yt wch is below to do ye miracles of one only thing. 3) And as all things have been & arose from one by ye mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation. 4) The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, 5) the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth its nourse. 6) The father of all perfection in ye whole world is here. 7) Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth. 7a) Seperate thou ye earth from ye fire, ye subtile from the gross sweetly wth great indoustry. 8) It ascends from ye earth to ye heaven & again it desends to ye earth and receives ye force of things superior & inferior. 9) By this means you shall have ye glory of ye whole world & thereby all obscurity shall fly from you. 10) Its force is above all force. ffor it vanquishes every subtile thing & penetrates every solid thing. 11a) So was ye world created. 12) From this are & do come admirable adaptaions whereof ye means (Or process) is here in this. 13) Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of ye philosophy of ye whole world. 14) That wch I have said of ye operation of ye Sun is accomplished & ended. [Dobbs 1988: 183-4.]
