In this presentation, Roger explores a profound turning point in Western spiritual history: the moment wisdom shifted from guiding souls after death to transforming the minds of the living. Drawing from Hermetic philosophy, Egyptian wisdom traditions, Greek thought, and The Poimandres, it traces the concept of metanoia—the radical transformation of the mind that awakens foresight (pronoia) and direct knowledge of the divine. Centered in Alexandria around the turn of the eras, this teaching reframed ancient funerary texts into living instruction, revealing how wisdom must be mediated, embodied, and ultimately transcended. Through figures like Petosiris, Nechepso, Hermes Trismegistus, and resonances with the Gospel of John, this presentation illuminates the Hermetic path from harmony and fate toward liberation, silence, and the deathless life of light.
