The Seven Hermetic Principles, derived from the Hermetic philosophy outlined in the "Kybalion," encompass metaphysical concepts that explain the nature of reality and human interaction with it. These principles are: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. Each principle highlights a fundamental aspect of the universe and the interaction of energy and matter.

Transposing these onto the Seven Cooperative Principles—Voluntary and Open Membership, Democratic Member Control, Members' Economic Participation, Autonomy and Independence, Education, Training and Information, Cooperation among Cooperatives, Concern for Community—might not map directly or vividly, but there are abstract connections that can be drawn through the broader implications of cooperation, mutual benefit, and universal harmony that both sets of principles promote. Here’s a brief exploration of possible connections:

While the Hermetic Principles are metaphysical and deal with universal energies and laws, the Cooperative Principles are practical guidelines for organizational governance and community interaction. The connection between them is more philosophical and abstract rather than direct and vivid, emphasizing the universal themes of balance, interdependence, and mutual growth.
