Hmm great post... I guess some comparable occult truths could be those found in the Kybalion:
The Principle of Mentalism
“The all is mind; the universe is mental.”
The Principle of Correspondence
“As above, so below, as below, so above. As within, so without, as without, so within.”
The Principle of Vibration
“Nothing rests; Everything moves; Everything vibrates.”
The Principle of Polarity
“Everything is dual, everything has poles and everything has its pair of opposites; Like and unlike are the same; Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; Extremes meet; All truths, are but half-truths; All paradoxes may be reconciled.”
The Principle of Rhythm
“Everything flows, out and in; Everything has its tides; All things rise and fall.”
The Principle of Cause and Effect
“Every cause has its effect; Every effect has its cause.”
The Principle of Gender
“Gender is in everything; Everything has its masculine and feminine principles.”
The Principle of Mentalism “The all is mind; the universe is mental.”
ALL is information; ALL is energy. The mind is only needed to perceive that information, AFTER energy creates motion and therewith the loss of potentiality, which then creates momentum (balance within motion) within which ALL segregated itself into individual ONEs (potential), and for the communication between them the need for a mind comes into existence.
In short: Information comes before perception. The mind cannot create information; it transmutes out of information. Also "mental-ISM" is an idol; a belief system offered to one by another one, and thereby against the laws of nature (the rules that define how motion operates).
As above, so below, as below, so above
1st natural law: "opposites must coexist, because they're defined by each others coexistence within motion", because motion is defined as the movement from a beginning towards an end, thereby creating fundamental barriers for all existence within motion.
As within, so without, as without, so within.
Incorrect. ALL is ONE within energy. There is no without within the motion of energy. The segregation of differences is based on the need for inspiration towards self sustenance, because energy creates motion; and motion creates energy, which means energy is not just the source of all information, but it represents self sustenance (the intent for all existence).
Correct, but the vibration represents the communication (resonance) between forward motion and the resistance to that motion (the balance within motion aka momentum). The motion represents the natural order; while all existence within the temporary momentum represent chaos mimicking (through resonance) the information the natural order offers through motion as inspiration for adherence to self sustenance.
Everything is dual
Incorrect. Duality is the deception. Natural opposites are defined by each others coexistence within motion, while duality allows the parring of belief based assumptions (aka affixed fiction that ignores the reality of motion). This is what creates all the conflicts, since coexistence within energy has no conflicts. We act upon our beliefs (fiction) while ignoring motion (reality). All conflicts are based on believer vs non-believer.
If one proclaims a "truth" into motion, one a) ignores that motion disproves all proclaimed "truths" as "lies" and b) one creates a substitute offer of information to all other ones, which creates a contradiction and thereby the conflict between those who believe the fiction, and those who oppose it by not believing it. It's entirely irrelevant what they believe; only that they believe, because the conflict puts both sides into the ignorance of reality. This is how they control both sides of every conflict.
“Everything flows, out and in; Everything has its tides; All things rise and fall.”
That represents the cycles (spirals!?) of loss and recharge of potentiality through motion. Forward motion represents loss of potentiality (ones wants aka temptations pulling us towards an end; death), and the resistance towards the forward motion within temporary momentum represents the strive of potential towards unification aka the recharge of potentiality (ones needs; the adherence to self sustenance; the instinctive struggle to uphold life over death.)
“Every cause has its effect; Every effect has its cause.”
2nd natural law; "all actions have consequences within motion". They leave out motion to allow themselves to be the ones making the judgments for all other ones. the consequences of each action is defined by ones free will of choice to either adhere to self sustenance (recharge) or ignore it (loss), which puts the sole authority over self one ONEs free will of choice, which is why the other (((ones))) deceive us to ignore self by offering a false (unquestionable) authority, whcih demands our consent...our belief; our faith, whcih then allows the others ones to act "in the name of" that false idol of authority that represents our ignorance of self.
(((they))) act "In Nomine" Patris (the ALL), et Filii (the ONE), et Spiritus Sancti (the spirit (to breath) bond from ONE to ALL).
Everything has its masculine and feminine principles
Yes, that's once again the coexistence of natural opposites within motion, and the balance between those two represents self sustenance; in this case; procreation. So individual adherence to self sustenance leads to unity; leads to shared responsibilities of sustaining creation set into motion, because motion corrupts creation when not sustained.
This also means that the only "self" we can sustain is within our blood; the shared identity of our bloodlines, which represent residue within loss/recharge cycles (spirals).
You add some excellent points. These renditions of the hermetic principles were just the first ones I found online, but they don’t convey the more nuanced information present in the whole book. Where you take issue with the phrase “everything is dual” that chapter drives home the point that “all paradoxes can be reconciled” because at the root, the duality is an epi-phenomenon of the true phenomenon, oneness, or THE ALL.
If ONE has self discernment within ALL, then "paradoxes" aka opinions; assumptions, proCLAIMED as truth or false, represent a contradiction to reality. Why? Because ALL (energy in motion) represents the source of all information for each ONE within, so ONE cannot act as a substitute source for other ONEs without ignoring adherence to ALL. That's selfish.
The origin of selfishness is ONE claiming ownership over that which ALL offers each one. It's ONEs selfish ignorance of coexistence within ALL. Nature doesn't name anything; it doesn't brand information, because motion would disprove any claim. Instead nature offer information as inspiration to our senses through the consequences of actions set into motion, which is why real communications requires all our senses to resonate with all around us.
Language is a corruption of communication and it causes the "ego", and the inner monologue, which represents a constant temptation to selfishly proCLAIM our self imposed beliefs (assumptions). They put a SPELL on us with language (in the beginning was the word...).
Everything we proclaim with language, we uphold as fictitious beliefs, to which we then adhere, while ignoring adherence to reality. And this is also what created the weakness that attracted parasites to exploit it ruthlessly. Their entire spiel is about keeping us ignorant of reality by offering us fiction endlessly.

I love this line of thought...
We spell a sentence for someone using the laws of grimoire. I eagerly await the day when our latent telepathic ability returns.

Hear hear! I got the physical book one Christmas and flip through it almost annually to refresh myself.
Really great book. Left me hungry for more, but finding mystic texts that are as well-written is not easy.
