The Emerald Tablet 101
The Emerald Tablet is an Ancient Egyptian work written by Hermes Trismegistus that is supposed to represent a step-by-step instruction manual for the Alchemical process of turning ordinary metals like lead into something much more valuable- like gold.
The manual consists of fourteen cryptic, symbolic statements, that many have tried to decipher over the course of thousands of years.
I believe the fourteen statements of the Emerald Tablet to be a symbolic guide to a far greater treasure than the conversion of lead into gold. I believe it to be, instead, a symbolic guide to the awakening of the human soul. I believe it to be a guide to the conversion of a base and petty human being into an awakened soul, the likes of which we have seen in the Jesuses and the Buddhas of our world.
In the Christian Bible, it is said that Adam fell into a deep sleep. Nowhere in that Bible does it say that he woke back up. The purpose of the Emerald Tablet, I believe, is that very awakening.
Excerpt from Chapter Seven
When I awakened
It was if my Mind,
The Consciousness within Me,
Separated
From the body
I once took
To be my entirety
And soared upward,
Or beyond,
Or within
It was as if
My understanding had expanded
To the breaking point,
And the borders
That had once contained it
Were overwhelmed
And overcome
Once free
My Consciousness bursth forth
And expanded
In all directions forever-
There were no barriers left
To hold it in
Before my Mind's Eye
Opened a world and a truth
I could have never imagined
Had I lived
A million years,
And I experienced Myself-
My true Self
In My entirety,
As well as a Great Light
Of pure Consciousness
That emanated
From the Center of existence
Out into all that is
Was, or will be
