It really depends on the translation you use to decipher it. They are all different (ala Bible different).
This one:
1) This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth:-
2) As below, so above; and as above so below. With this knowledge alone you may work miracles.
This makes me think of the vibrations of energy. How if it vibrates at just the right frequency, solids can exist. And how there is just really energy, above and below those frequencies.
3) And since all things exist in and eminate from the ONE Who is the ultimate Cause, so all things are born after their kind from this ONE.
This makes me think of the Big Bang and how we don't know what lies on the other side of a singularity.
4) The Sun is the father, the Moon the mother;
Again, the Sun is high energy nuclear reaction, the moon is solid state. Same with 6, 7, 7a, 8, 11a. I don't have it all worked out, never really thought too much about it, just an inkling that it was a familiar concept. I am sober, btw. hahaha
5) the wind carried it in his belly. Earth is its nurse and its guardian.
6) It is the Father of all things,
6a) the eternal Will is contained in it.
7) Here, on earth, its strength, its power remain one and undivded.
7a) Earth must be separated from fire, the subtle from the dense, gently with unremitting care.
8) It arises from the earth and descends from heaven; it gathers to itself the strength of things above and things below.
9) By means of this one thing all the glory of the world shall be yours and all obscurity flee from you.
10) It is power, strong with the strength of all power, for it will penetrate all mysteries and dispel all ignorance.
11a) By it the world was created.
12) From it are born manifold wonders, the means to achieving which are here given
13) It is for this reason that I am called Hermes Trismegistus; for I possess the three essentials of the philosophy of the universe.
14) This is is the sum total of the work of the Sun.
