Nag Hammadi Scrolls... yes, well... when the time permits it's on my list. In the meantime, I'd be happy to have you tell us what you know of Thoth and the "turquoise stele". Any help would be greatly appreciated. In the Light... A ------------------ "The ALL is MIND; the Universe is Mental." *** The Kybalion IP: Logged

Registered: Dec 2011	posted January 11, 2004 12:13 PM It always seemed to me that the substance referred to in the Emerald Tablet was Thought. I concur with uriel that the Nag Hammadi Documents are very illuminating. I liked the Pistis Sophia as well. IP: Logged
uriel203 unregistered	posted January 12, 2004 10:39 AM of course i would hesitate to make any interpretation of the writings of Hermes Trismegistus.i prefer to read such works as the Divine Pymander then meditate on the themes contained within. one of the most ancient references to the Emerald Tablet however, concern the Egyptian Book of the Dead, specifically Chapter LXIV "the book of coming forth by day" which was said to be graven on an "ironstone stele, with letters inlaid with lapis lazuli" found in Hermopolis (Thoth's nome)at the feet of a statue of the ibis headed god of wisdom. this section, being perhaps the oldest chapter, leads to the hypothesis that Thoth was the author of the entire book of the dead, which, being copied from the emerald tablets must contain much of his wisdom.

uriel203 unregistered	posted January 12, 2004 12:11 PM Yes Fishkitten iv'e always considered there to be a general etymological connection between the word "thought" and the Egyptian god "Thoth", whose primary attribute is rational abstract thought. (he was said to have brought mathematics,astronomy,and writing to mankind) IP: Logged
Aselzion Moderator Posts: 113 From: North Andover, MA Registered: May 2009	posted January 31, 2004 04:26 PM Greetings... I was revisiting "The Emerald Tablet of Hermes" the other evening, and this is where my thoughts began to spiral: The entire document contains 13 statements, in 2 paragraphs, the first paragraph contains 5 statements, the second, 8. 8/5 = 1.6 and this is an approximation of Phi or the Golden Ratio. (1.618034) 5 is the number of adaptation, the pentagram and man. 5 is related to Mercury in Numerology. Mercury is another name for Hermes! 5 is also related to the Pentagram, which is a perfect depiction of the Phi ratio in action. The 5th sign in the zodiac is Leo, ruled by The Sun. Note the reference in the last line to "alchemical art.. the Solar Work". Hrmm. In Qabalah the fifth Sphere on the Tree of Life is called Geburah (Severity); it is also called Din (Justice). This Sphere is associated with the planet Mars, and Mars traditionally rules the sign Scorpio in ancient astrology. The second paragraph contains 8 sentences. 8 is the number of rhythm, strength and mastery. The eighth Sphere on the Tree of Life is Hod (Splendor) and this Sphere is associated with the planet Mercury. Now in numerology, 8 is attributed to the planet Saturn. Saturn is associated with the metal lead. Alchemy is the process whereby base metals (lead) are transmuted into Gold... allegorically this is the transformation or perfection, if you will, of the Soul. The 8th sign in the zodiac is Scorpio, and the 8th house rules death, sex and practical occultism. Two keywords often associated with Scorpio are tranformation and regeneration or what might be termed Spiritual Alchemy! 13, the total number of statements in the document is the number of Tarot Higher Arcana 13 or Death. This card is related to the astrological sign Scorpio. (see above) 13/8 = 1.6 again, the approximation of Phi which is evidenced in all of nature. Just a little food for thought... Happy Spiraling... A P.S. For any heavily Virgoan knowflakes out there checking up on on me... The translation of the Emerald Tablet that I was using contained 13 statements. The translation I posted at the beginning of this thread contains only 12; but this version combined 2 separate thoughts into one sentence. So my use of the 13 stands. P.P.S. This method of spiraling is pretty Qabalistic, but I think it bears some merit. In the Light... A ------------------ "The ALL is MIND; the Universe is Mental." *** The Kybalion IP: Logged
FishKitten Knowflake Posts: 35 From: On the trail of the Old Ones... Registered: Dec 2011	posted January 31, 2004 04:40 PM Hi Aselzion. I was just wondering if you got the e-mail I sent you a week or two ago. I have had some trouble lately with my messages going astray somewhere in cyberspace. IP: Logged
Aselzion Moderator Posts: 113 From: North Andover, MA Registered: May 2009	posted January 31, 2004 07:52 PM Hi FishKitten... Yes, I actually did get your e-mail, do not fear. My time has been pretty compromised lately by work and my studies, which have been demanding much of my attention these days. I plan to compose a more personal reply to both your letter to Linda and your e-mail, but Life seems to be happening at a fairly quick pace these days... Thanks for your patience, I am sure we have much to discuss... In L.V.X. eternal... A ------------------ "The ALL is MIND; the Universe is Mental." *** The Kybalion IP: Logged

FishKitten Knowflake Posts: 35 From: On the trail of the Old Ones... Registered: Dec 2011	posted February 01, 2004 01:16 PM No worries, Aselzion. I'm in no rush. I just wanted to make sure the e-mail went through. Randall...I have no idea what is going on that e-mails keep getting eaten. I was unable to send anything to Ra for a long time. If the e-mails made it through at all, they were blank. It happened with a few other people as well. It is interesting that the same kinds of things are happening to you. At least that tells me that the problems are probably not related to something I'm doing. Of course, I still consider the telephone a miracle device, so it is always possible that I have gone technologically astray somewhere. IP: Logged

Montana Rain unregistered	posted February 25, 2004 03:27 AM Hello everyone...Aselzion...it seems as if everyone has touched on the meaning of the tablet...In this Trinity is hidden the wisdom of the whole world. We posses all the powers concealed in nature, not for destruction but for exaltation and regeneration of matter, in the three departments of nature. In this manner the world was created...The Secret Teachings of All Ages...Manly P. Hall, answers a lot of questions... Peace to your Soul Love to your Heart...Montana Rain IP: Logged
Aselzion Moderator Posts: 113 From: North Andover, MA Registered: May 2009	posted February 25, 2004 11:13 PM Thanks Montana... I love Qabalah and Alchemy, and these writings are great food for metaphysical chatter and conjecture. I do have Manly Hall's book, that is where I got the translation of the Emerald Tablet that I included at the beginning of this thread. That book (The Secret Teachings of All Ages)is a wonderful resource for any serious students in metaphysics! In the Light...

Aselzion Moderator Posts: 113 From: North Andover, MA Registered: May 2009	posted March 11, 2004 11:39 AM Greetings... Montana... slow? In relation to what? We absorb and are presented what we need to know, when we need to know it. To say slow is to almost imply a competition of sorts, and I don't think that's really the point. I have often come across books at one time that I knew I needed to have, but was not really "ready for" at the time. Then, a week, or a month or a year or a decade (or more) goes by, and something in that book calls out to the Soul. As the ancients taught... when the student is ready the teacher appears. Or conversely, when the teacher (or teaching) appears, the student is ready. Hold on and enjoy the ride... Blessings...

trilioth Newflake Posts: 0 From: Big Level, MS, USA Registered: Aug 2011	posted July 25, 2005 03:09 AM wow! I just fond this today... was running my myrid of searches through varies halls of www and found thoth here i just wanted to understand my tarot deck finding the emerald tablets i have been doing related research ALL DAY LONG any how my first suggestion: maybe the secret shouldn't be exposed here secrets and code are often left-- as was some hints from Linda-- to the dicovery of the student second suggestion: find the key open the door I would quote but I lost the sphinx third suggestion: that the water is part of the solution to the problems of this age, and our guardians will come foreward, as they were in the days of atlantis, when invited to the fore, and reveal certain secrets, when we as a whole are ready... personally i think it will take a catalyst fourth suggestion: alchemy is near the truth but I would say it pertained mostly to the soul level I see(k) much symbology, I feel a personal connection to thoth somehow simular vibrations maybe Mainly due to my knack for research and my desire to communicate with my peers for i am a seeker the question is who are the true seekers? and what is my resposibility to disgression of the secret my guess is that a true seeker points his peers in the right direction but does not reveal all of the journey may be that is what thoth is doing cause he could have spelled in out i bet oh i found the quote: quote: Deep 'neath the rocks, I buried my spaceship, waiting the time when man might be free. Over the spaceship, erected a marker in the form of a lion yet like unto man. There 'neath the image rests yet my spaceship, forth to be brought when need shall arise. need is the key i bet somewhere it meantiions a key that will bring down a wall. What keeps me drawn to it is that it connects a lot of dots in my research and seems to hint a fulfilling of prophecies for this age. I think it has a lot to do with the Masters return to public view, "when man might be free." ------------------ Daniel Son "It's just a phase and I want it to be over soon!"

trilioth Newflake Posts: 0 From: Big Level, MS, USA Registered: Aug 2011	posted July 25, 2005 03:52 AM oh yeah, btw I am still reading it for the first time. Aselzion... The Qabalah, I have not studied much--if any, but I have been studing numerology as presented by Linda. I am finding that I am liking the oldest documents, like this emerald tablet. It seems to help me uncover truth in some "newly" presented revelation. Usually revelation leans on the students understanding of ancient wisdom. Share International claims to be backed by Masters even a master who is not forth coming of his name, as well as a Master who claim to hold the position of Christ in the Heirarchy related to Earth. Many of Benjamin Creme's books I have studied, bought a hundren dollars worth used from amazon. All that was listed on the site. Now I see there is a new one. I am discussing this issue [url=]else where[/url] Most of all I feel I have to do my homework on anyone or any teaching that claims secrets of the divine. Must be that vibe of mine. ------------------ Daniel Son "It's just a phase and I want it to be over soon!" "Just A Phase" from Make Yourself by Incubus IP: Logged
