Emerald Tablet, Alchemy, Helena Blavatsky, Fulcanelli, Isaac Newton

The Emerald Tablet is an ancient artifact that reveals a profound spiritual technology, which has
survived to this day despite centuries of effort to suppress it. Encoded within the tablet's mysterious wording, is a powerful formula that works in very specific and comprehensible steps on all levels of
reality at once -- the physical, the mental, and the spiritual -- and shows us how to achieve personal
transformation and even accelerate the evolution of our species.

Emerald Tablet

The source of alchemy and the Hermetic sciences, the tablet's universal approach made it forbidden
knowledge, condemned by patriarchal powers for thousands of years, from the Egyptian priesthood to the medieval Church, to our modern politicians and religious leaders.

To ensure the survival of such "dangerous" principles, which guide people to higher states of consciousness, the ancients concealed their knowledge in a succinct declaration that has become a time capsule of wisdom for future generations.

Molded out of a single piece of green crystal, the Emerald Tablet carries a prophetic message full of
hidden meaning. It is also made of many chemical compositions unbeknown to many human beings.

Although its true origin is lost in legends that go back over 10,000 years, the wondrous artifact was translated into Greek by Alexandrian scholars taught by Egyptians priests and actually put on display in Egypt in 330 BC. Around the year 400 AD, it was reportedly buried somewhere on the Giza plateau to protect it from religious zealots who were burning libraries around the world at that time. Many believe the tablet still lies hidden there. Working only with these early translations, many seekers of truth recognized in subsequent centuries that the Emerald Tablet contained a secret formula for transforming reality.

Many alchemical drawings such as this one called the Azoth of the Philosophers are really schematic diagrams of the steps and operations of this Emerald Formula. The alchemists used these diagrams like Eastern mandalas and meditated on them in their laboratories to achieve altered states of consciousness.

The unaccredited source of many of our mystical and religious traditions, the tablet also inspired over 3,500 years of alchemy, a period in which some of the most creative minds in the world delved into the intertwined mysteries of matter, energy, soul, and spirit. Most medieval alchemists had copies of the tablet hanging on their laboratory wall.

Azoth of the Philosophers

It was the only guidance they needed in both their meditation and practical work; it served as their Rosetta Stone for deciphering the deliberately obscured terminology of their art. The text:
1. It is true without untruth, certain and most true
2. That which is below is like that which is on high, and that which is on high is like that which is
below; by these things are made the miracles of one thing.
3. And as all things are, and come from One, by the mediation of One, So all things are born from
this unique thing by adaptation.
4. The Sun is the father and the Moon the mother.
5. The wind carries it in its stomach. The Earth is its nourisher and its receptacle.
6. The Father of all the Theleme of the universal world is here.
6. Its force, or power, remains entire
7. If it is converted into Earth
7a. You separate the Earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, gently with great industry.
8. It climbs from the Earth and descends from the sky, and receives the force of things superior and
things inferior.
9) You will have by this way, the glory of the world and all obscurity will flee from you.
10. It is the power strong with all power, for it will defeat every subtle thing and penetrate every
solid thing
11. In this way, the world was created.
12. From it are born wonderful adaptations, of which the way here is given.
13. That is why I have been called Hermes Trismegistus, having the three parts of the universal
philosophy.
14. This, that I have called solar Work, is complete.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Interpretation From Madame Helena Blavatsky: Helena Petrovna Blavatsky was a Russian occultist, philosopher, and author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. She gained an international following as the leading theoretician of Theosophy, the esoteric religion that the society promoted.

1. What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is similar to that which is below to
accomplish the wonders of the one thing.
2. As all things were produced by the mediation of one being, so all things were produced from this
one by adaptation.
3. Its father is the sun, its mother the moon.
4. It is the cause of all perfection throughout the whole Earth.
5. Its power is perfect if it is changed into Earth.
6. Separate the Earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, acting prudently and with judgment
7. Ascend with the greatest sagacity from earth to heaven, and unite together the power of things
inferior and superior
8. Thus you will possess the light of the whole world, and all obscurity will fly away from you.
9 This thing has more fortitude than fortitude itself because it will overcome every subtle thing and
penetrate every solid thing.
10. By it, the world was formed.
[Blavatsky 1972: 507.]

Interpretation From Fulcanelli (translated from the French by Sieveking)
1) This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
2) As below, so above; and as above so below. With this knowledge alone you may work miracles.
3) And since all things exist in and emanate from the ONE Who is the ultimate Cause, so all things
are born after their kind from this ONE.
4) The Sun is the father, the Moon the mother
5) The wind carried it in his belly. Earth is its nurse and its guardian.
