The Corpus Hermeticum. By G. R. S. Mead. Full Audiobook
The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of Egyptian-Greek wisdom texts from the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, which are mostly presented as dialogues in which a teacher, generally identified as Hermes Trismegistus, enlightens a disciple. The texts form the basis of Hermeticism, a religious and philosophical tradition that emphasizes the pursuit of spiritual knowledge and the attainment of divine wisdom.
The Corpus Hermeticum is divided into 17 treatises, each of which explores different aspects of the Hermetic philosophy. The first treatise, Poemandres, describes the creation of the universe and the nature of God. The second treatise, To Asclepius, discusses the nature of the soul and the afterlife. The third treatise, The Sacred Sermon, explores the nature of God and the relationship between the divine and the human. The fourth treatise, The Cup or Monad, discusses the nature of the universe and the role of humanity in it. The fifth treatise, Though Unmanifest God Is Most Manifest, explores the nature of God and the relationship between the divine and the human. The sixth treatise, In God Alone Is Good And Elsewhere Nowhere, discusses the nature of God and the relationship between the divine and the human. The seventh treatise, The Greatest Ill Among Men is Ignorance of God, explores the nature of God and the relationship between the divine and the human. The eighth treatise, That No One of Existing Things Doth Perish, discusses the nature of the universe and the role of humanity in it. The ninth treatise, On Thought and Sense, explores the nature of the mind and the senses. The tenth treatise, The Key, presents itself explicitly as a summary or abridgement of the General Sermons (CH II-IX), and discusses the Hermetic view of knowledge and its role in the lives and afterlives of human beings . The eleventh treatise, Mind Unto Hermes, discusses the nature of the mind and the relationship between the divine and the human. The twelfth treatise, About The Common Mind, explores the nature of the mind and the relationship between the divine and the human. The thirteenth treatise, The Secret Sermon on the Mountain, discusses the nature of God and the relationship between the divine and the human. The fourteenth treatise, The Greatest Evil in Man is Falsehood, explores the nature of truth and falsehood. The fifteenth treatise, A Universal Sermon, discusses the nature of God and the relationship between the divine and the human. The sixteenth treatise, The Cup or Monad, discusses the nature of the universe and the role of humanity in it. The seventeenth treatise, The Secret Discourse on the Mountain, discusses the nature of God and the relationship between the divine and the human.

It has been translated into various languages and has been the subject of numerous commentaries and interpretations.
