Hello Knowflakes, quote: "It is true, certain, and without falsehood, that whatever is below is like that which is above; and that which is above is like that which is below: to accomplish the one wonderful work. As all things are derived from the One Only Thing, by the will and by the word of the One Only One who created it in His Mind, so all things owe their existence to this Unity by the order of Nature, and can be improved by the Adaptation to that Mind.Its Father is the Sun; its Mother is the Moon; the Wind carries it in its womb; and its nurse is the Earth. This Thing is the Father of all perfect things in the world. Its power is most perfect when it has again been changed into Earth. Separate the Earth from the Fire, the subtle from the gross, but carefully and with great judgment and skill. It ascends from earth to heaven, and descends again, new born, to the earth, taking unto itself thereby the power of the Above and the Below. Thus the splendor of the whole world will be thine, and all darkness shall flee from thee. This is the strongest of all powers, the Force of all forces, for it overcometh all subtle things and can penetrate all that is solid. For thus was the world created, and rare combinations, and wonders of many kinds are wrought. Hence I am called HERMES TRISMEGISTUS, having mastered the three parts of the wisdom of the whole world. What I have to say about the masterpiece of the alchemical art, the Solar work, is now ended."
I have heard of the Tablet for some time now and decided to research it. In my research, I discovered that the alchemists believed that the Emerald Tablet dated from the dawn of time and contained the divine revelation of the mechanics of creation. The tablet was the single authority and guided their theoretical and experimental work, and its author, Hermes Trismegistus, was regarded as a real person who had achieved union with the One Mind of the whole universe. Furthermore, The Emerald Tablet Alchemy for Personal Tranformation is a book that partly emphasizes the importance of treasuring our imagination. The very first expression of matter is the outline of its form, the image of it within the One mind. That image-making power of consciousness is known as “imagination,” though the ancients would have referred to it as the word or thought of God. According to the Emerald Tablet, the power is reflected in the Below in the mind of man. Moreover, the alchemists believed that the common act of “imagination” was some how connected to the transformation of matter. They suspected that the imagination, in all its chaotic forms—from the horrifying creatures of nightmares to the lofty visions of science—is at the heart of the first matter. It is the “imagination” that we discard in our youth as having no value; it is the imagination that is familiar to all, both rich and poor; it is the imagination which is hidden and yet known to everyone; it is the imagination that is “a stone and no stone.” The author of this book, Dennis William Hauck, illustrates that if we look up the definition of imagination in the Lexicon of Alchemy, we read that “imagination is the Star in Man, the celestial or supercelestial body.” Therefore, the imagination is a divine gift, the piece in heaven concealed in man. For now, this is what I summarized in what I have read; I will be back later… Any thoughts? ------------------ ~*Silverstone~* IP: Logged |

The Emerald Tabletby Hermes Trismegistus As Above, So Below The Emerald Tablet Truly, without Deceit, certainly and absolutely — That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, in the accomplishment of the Miracle of One Thing. And just as all things have come from One, through the Mediation of One, so all things follow from this One Thing in the same way. Its Father is the Sun. Its Mother is the Moon. The Wind has carried it in his Belly. Its Nourishment is the Earth. It is the Father of every completed Thing in the whole World. Its Strength is intact if it is turned towards the Earth. Separate the Earth by Fire: the fine from the gross, gently, and with great skill. It rises from Earth to Heaven, and then it descends again to the Earth, and receives Power from Above and from Below. Thus you will have the Glory of the whole World. All Obscurity will be clear to you. This is the strong Power of all Power because it overcomes everything fine and penetrates everything solid. In this way was the World created. From this there will be amazing Applications, because this is the Pattern. Therefore am I called Thrice Greatest Hermes, having the three parts of the Wisdom of the whole World. Herein have I completely explained the Operation of the Sun. ------------------ ~I intend to continue learning forever~"Fayte" ~I am still learning~ Michangelo The Door to Gnosis is never permanently locked...one only needs the correct keys and passwords. The pious man with closed eyes can often hold more ego than a proud man with open eyes. Out of the mouth of babes commeth wisdom that can rival that of sages. In the rough, or cut and polished..a diamond is still a precious gem. -NEXUS-

Lotus.. Quote: I believe there are ten Emerald TabletsSo do you think that some of them have been discovered? Fayte, That is another version, right? I don't know about you ladies, but I think a lot of Hermes Trismegistus' theory of the Emerald Tablet actually parallels to other great works... ------------------ ~*Silverstone~* IP: Logged |

Fayte... I wonder if his work was actually altered or if it's just mythos!
The book, The Emerald Tablet Alchemy for Personal Tranformation goes more into depth... The book puts a lot of emphasis on our imagination and our self-reliance, as it breaks down Hermes' message. I will be back soon! ------------------ ~*Silverstone~* IP: Logged |

Lotus... quote: they are clear emerald green..just like they are named..perfect emerald..almost like glass. ...
I am not completely finished with the book, but honestly I do not think that the Emerald Tablet was an actual tablet or crystal with green colors and so on; I think the name itself is a metaphor to project a higher meaning, but certainly not those of a colorful crystal and so on...what do you ladies think? ------------------ ~*Silverstone~* IP: Logged |
