The Riddle of the Emerald Tablet

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus is a mysterious text renowned in the Middle Ages and beyond as part of the Hermetica, a mostly-lost alchemical literary tradition. The Emerald Tablet itself is an ancient mystical riddle. Below is the solved version, reconstructed from many centuries ago and published for the first time (you can easily find the traditional unsolved version of the Emerald Tablet in many translations by searching online).

The Solution to the Riddle of the Emerald Tablet:

This is assuredly true:
Humans above the ground can learn from the rocks and stones below the ground,
Just as rocks and stones below the ground have been listening to the humans above the ground.
And herein we will tell you of a miracle that they are all a part of.
Here is what the emeralds have learned, and what the emeralds say:
The world is one thing altogether. It is true!
Thus all that happens in the world is happening to the world, and the world itself is conscious of it.
The Sun is the father of this world.
The Moon is known as its mother.
The wind is more responsible for the world and its consciousness than you may know.
It is the planet Earth that sustains it, this one thing that is the world altogether.
God/the good thing did bid this world exist, and if God/the good thing is fully manifest in the world, the one thing will be perfected at last.
Understand spirit and nurture it with goodness, rejecting vulgar and materialist viewpoints.
Become wise and careful.
Integrate your flights of spirit well; do not forget this lesson.
It is important and brings glory to your intellect to see the world this way.
This lesson will be repeated a thousand years from now if you share it well.
The force of this world’s unity is the strongest force known within it. This unity snakes through all things subtle and all things solid on Earth, and cannot be subdued.
By this unified world your human world was created.
This unified world gives birth to many adaptations.
This was written by Hermes Trismegistus, who studies God, humans, and Earth: all three.
This Earth and its grand elaborations reveal themselves to be the great work of the Sun, a work that is both complete and incomplete, for it is fully formed and ever changing.

In understanding the profundity of this mystical riddle, it may be helpful to keep in mind that humans could not have technically confirmed that Earth is in fact a planet until we were able to photograph it from space or orbit. I specify the reference to planet Earth in the solution, but the wording in English translations of the riddle is more vague, and in fact there’s reason to believe that most if not all people for most of history had vague and varying ideas about what Earth is. Perhaps less so emeralds.

The title of the Emerald Tablet is in fact a clue to its riddle’s provenance and solution: the message originally comes from mineral intelligence channeled through a person who gave himself the pen name Hermes Trismegistus, and refers to a mystical unified theory about our green planet, Earth.

On pillars

Posted on May 9, 2022 by Lync Dalton ~WEPWAWET~ history invocation Khemeticism life in progress right human relations 60

You never used to hear about societies working without pillars of the community, and enough of them. With their elevation in society, they necessarily become its patrons. The concept of noblesse oblige is that of the upper classes making sure that the rest of the people have a good society to function in, such that it is a symbiotic and positive relationship that is easy to maintain, even across generations. That is a natural mechanism in any sustainable society. These pillars are automatically held up to high standards of behavior and judgment, and society needs that. It’s almost architectural. These are supposed to be the people who hold up the roof of civilization, and the whole structure is better for it. Ptah was a god in ancient Egypt that evoked such an archetype. He is mostly acknowledged as a god of architecture and craftsmanship, but part of his doctrine involved setting a divine example for those humans at the top of society who had an extra measure of prosperity and therefore shouldered extra responsibility in their communities.

Sacred writ

Posted on April 24, 2022 by Lync Dalton ~WEPWAWET~ history life in progress Religions sacred text 1

If you have a holy book that you cherish, it is almost certainly connected to some religion or another. It’s very important that a holy book have sound and adequate morals that it conveys. It’s very important to pay attention to the valid moral elements of the holy writ, and not to take its message too much out of context.

In the case of the Bible, for instance, it’s best to keep in mind its unique context in history, also to consider how modern politics have shifted in ways that demand further interpretation of the spirit of the work, and to stay away from falling into the quagmire of fundamentalism. Fundamentalism is an aggressive interpretation of scripture and/or religion that takes excerpts out of context and/or has a tendency to focus on the wrong points. Looked at in-depth, fundamentalism often becomes indistinguishable from superstition, and at that point, it usually carries no philosophy whatsoever. Superstition beggars belief.

Another way that fundamentalism can creep in is when something entirely out of context is selected from a sacred writ and applied to the reader’s life or the contemporary world without a clear connection to the moral message of the scripture. Again, to use the Bible as an example, it is particularly rewarding to read entire chapters in order to complete one book at a time rather than read random excerpts, and to pay close attention to the spirit of the work and its moral message in context (though this would be less applicable in the case of Psalms, for instance). Many people actually use the Bible for divination (instead of using the tarot, for instance) by flipping through it randomly and applying whatever text their eyes land on to their current situation or whatever question they’re focusing on. This is not equivalent to Bible study, and tends not to convey the same things a complete book of the Bible communicates.

Certain kinds of fundamentalists have promoted the idea that Earth is about 6,000 years old, and others have promoted the idea that we can use ancient imagery talking about time and its vagaries to conclude we have to wait hundreds of thousands of years to reach the Satya Yuga. Both theories can be disheartening. In truth, humans in general have never been as good at calendars as we are now, and old scriptures are at their best when we interpret them responsibly and deftly.

Good and evil

Posted on April 20, 2022 by Lync Dalton ~WEPWAWET~ Apocalypse futurism life in progress 1

There was a political doctrine in the 20th Century (1900s) that advocated and preserved evil in the world for the simple reason that eventually there would need to be an Apocalypse of sorts, for a short period of time, after which everything would get better. People were told in prophecies all over the world to expect that coming formula.

The doctrine could even be found in mainstream political parties in some countries.

Sometimes things fall apart and putting them back together in conscientious, inspired, and well-intentioned ways is the best humans can do for one another and themselves. Sometimes it creates necessary innovation, or just convinces us that best practices are best. That can be one of the main mechanisms of things getting better.

But promoting evil sounds circular and wrong-headed, and it is wrong. It’s a clear example of folly, and not the minor sort of folly. That’s the attitude that’s encouraged people in modern times to opine that good and evil should be or must be balanced in equal measure, seemingly on the principle that balance itself is a good or necessary thing. That is cribbed directly from fiction, one assumes. In reality, civilization routinely rejects evil, enough so that the average person can breathe and relax. The real and correct balance between good and evil is choosing and promoting the good while constantly beating back any evil and keeping the ravages of evil away from humanity and our sphere of influence.

For most of human history, people acknowledged that any evil allowed to run rampant was a state of imbalance.

The Apocalypse was almost certainly going to happen at some point (or something that felt sufficiently apocalyptic, although it wasn’t necessarily going to look like it does in the movies, and right now it looks like this, and should definitely get no worse), and technically speaking, the transition between a decaying modern world and a futuristic one could’ve gone smoothly. But humans and change, ya know?

We’re on the precipice of the futuristic world, and it is going to be one of the most inspiring times in human history if we can pull off preserving what’s good about our systems and infrastructures and building upon them in ways that will start to seem quite natural soon. Preserving human rights is fundamental on all sides. Systems and the people in them must shore up their ethics as soon as possible, or the Apocalypse will not necessarily be just a temporary hiccup, but something even worse, which would be extremely tragic.

Humans only invented the concept of money once. It happened in Africa.
The worldwide bovine spiritual leader of cows is referred to as Least Dangerous Cow. The bovine world leader of cows is referred to as Most Dangerous Cow.
In the 18th Century (1700s), most early Americans (United States of America) spoke with what sounded like Scottish accents. This had to do with morphic fields as well as where people emigrated from and how they identified.
Demons should be vanquished now (note: remind them that they’re vanquished, if you run into one, and see if that helps). There were demons once, of various origins. Goetic demons had some of the most recognized demonic names, like Asmodeus and Belial. In what you might call “fae culture”, demons often chose exotic-sounding (to them) English language names for themselves like Actress and Gross boy.
Certain animals have created agreements with humanity to exchange meat for respectful maintenance of their thus-abbreviated lives and full numbers. They’ve noticed that they tend to like their lives that way if the agreement is honored correctly.
According to Earth Logos, EFL (English as a first language) speakers are significantly less likely to become hyper fluent in another language. ESL (English as a second language) speakers starting at many certain various languages are extremely likely to become hyper fluent in English.
The Moon in the birth chart has a lot to do with physical beauty. The Moon is one of the most beautiful things you can possibly see in the sky.
Civilization has never fallen entirely. That’s not exactly how it happens (so far).

Good ships (the ancient African trade guilds had them)

Posted on January 30, 2022 by Lync Dalton ~WEPWAWET~ history life in progress shamanry 0

In the ancient world, Africans knew where everything was, more or less. They had enormous ships of ingenious design that could cross the oceans with ease. It has been long known that Africans and later Vikings both probably discovered parts of the Americas long before Western Europeans arrived there bringing war. It’s true. Africans seemed to consider the Americas full of good destinations for fair trade, and they didn’t stop at crossing the Atlantic. They traveled everywhere, discovering landmass after landmass.

Doing past life work last year, I uncovered reports from King Solomon of ancient Israel (reign circa 970–931 B.C.) that he was aware (during his lifetime) of many West Africans knowing about every continent besides Australia, and that they could describe where they were and what they were like, along with islands in every ocean, and had done trade most everywhere. He also reported that the designs of their ships were proprietary to specific trade guilds and kept secret, and that you could not buy them.

Carvings of mysterious objects that look like vehicular machines at the Temple of Seti I at Abydos

At the Temple of Seti I at Abydos in Egypt, there are famous carvings depicting mysterious objects that many people have speculated to be early aircraft, technological prophecy, or UFOs. The carvings resemble vehicles. My process as a shaman has uncovered that the carvings in question may depict highly sophisticated seafaring ships from other kingdoms in Africa outside of Egypt. The kings of Egypt did not have any such ships, but perhaps felt that they could in a sense “own” them by having them carved in relief at the temple, according to what we know of the ancient Egyptian belief system. King Seti I (reign circa 1294–1279 B.C.) named himself after Set, a god of immigrants and foreign lands, and perhaps it stands to reason that he might have shown particular interest in foreign technologies. These carvings may be the best surviving record of what those astounding ancient African vessels really looked like.
