Hermetic Ethics

Are there any books that talk about an hermetic ethics?

The Kybalion only mentions ethics implicitly when talking about beings on the Spiritual Plane using their powers in the "wrong fashion" and the subsequent "punishment".

I think there can be an ethical system built around the principle of Rhythm.

Note: I am unsure if all this falls into the book's (bad) stance on "metaphysics".

The "main" rhythm, from which all other lesser and multiple rhythms act on, is the rhythm of the creation of the mental universe, the emanation of the Mind of the All, and the absorption back to source. Of the two poles absorption can be seen as the superior one as it is the one closer to the All. Now that we have established a direction (and presumably a value judgement of good) to the main rhythm, all other multiple and particular rhythms (which act on all of the multiple dualities and decisions) of all the particular egos may also be assigned a direction and a value judgement of good.

Anyway, this is just my half-baked insight on the matter. Are there hermetists that wrote about a hermetic ethical system?

Renaissance alchemy
The Kybalion is kind of a wacky source, OP, it gets memed pretty hard here but considering the ambiguous authorship and the esoteric nature of the subject matter why do you care what it says at all?

pre-utilitarian ethics are all half-baked

I am an occult-let, was I memed into believing it has authority on alchemy?

You should start with the Greeks and Italians

>I am an occult-let, was I memed

Have you read anything after Kybalion? I'm struggling to find something more specific that isn't too occultish or too vague. I'm starting to think I won't get anywhere unless I'm initiated.

So are utilitarian ethics, nobody is capable of predicting which actions will actually result in maximizing all utility over all time. It's an inhuman ethic focused on efficiency, not morality, not interpersonal relationships, not society as a whole, not God. It's self-assured bourgeois ideology, not a serious ethical system that can withstand scrutiny outside of the classrooms of men whose souls have already been bought and sold by the liberal institutions that thrive on utilitarian delusion.

Look into Chaldean philosophy, and look to understand it in other light

antinatalism solved this.
