Illustration: Bas-relief of Thoth-Hermes, regarded as the god or divine being who founded the Hermetic School of Ancient Egypt. One of many surviving images. Thoth is pictured with the head of an ibis, a river bird that inhabited the banks of the Nile.
NOTE: This is the follow-up talk to The Parable of the Golden Eggs where I said I would title it Poimandres, The Shepherd of Mind -- but I prefer the above title. Poimandres is a text in the Corpus Hermeticum which I might consider at some point. The text I quote in this talk is called Asclepius. It contains the words divina sensu, literally, "divine sense."
