Declaration of Principles

Taking into account that the human being, whatever his national, social and cultural backgrounds are, carries, albeit not always conscious, the same aspirations in relation to self-knowledge, to individuation and to transpersonality, the Hermes Research Society acknowledges that the essence of all spiritualities and respective practices, as long as they remain linked to an authentic traditional affiliation, are an heritage of Mankind. As such, they should be unconditionally and widely shared in a perspective of frank dialogue and encounter, whenever possible free of any sectarian and dogmatic demonstrations.
