Emerald Tablet XIII: The Keys of Life and Death
“Deep in Earth's heart lies the flower, the source of the Spirit.”
“The Earth is living in body as thou art alive in thine own formed form.”
“The secret of Amenti,” Thoth wrote, is “the secret of restoring the balance of poles.”
“Know ye, O man, that thy form is dual, balanced in polarity while formed in its form.”
Only in this individual balance can we “draw on the balance of Earth.”
“List ye, O man, whilst I give the secret so that ye, too, shalt taste not of change … ”
“One hour each day shalt thou lie with thine head pointed to the place of the positive pole (north). One hour each day shalt thy head be pointed to the place of the negative pole (south).”
“Whilst thy head is placed to the northward, hold thou thy consciousness from the chest to the head.”
“And when thy head is placed southward, hold thou thy thought from chest to the feet.”
By following his advice, Thoth wrote that we too can learn to “hold off the fingers of Death.”
“If thou be old, thy body will freshen and thy strength will become as a youth's.”
“First lie at rest with thine head to the eastward. Fold thou thy hands at the Source of thy life (solar plexus).”
“Place thou thy consciousness in the life seat. Whirl it and divide to north and to south. Send thou the one out toward the northward. Send thou the other out to the south. Relax thou thy hold upon thy being.”
“Forth from they form will thy silver spark fly, upward and onward to the Sun of the morning, blending with Light, at one with its source.”
This, Thoth wrote, is how the “great Souls” learn to change “at will from life unto life,” and the secret of time can teach us to “remember the lives of the past.”
“Great is the secret yet easy to master.”
“When upon thee death fast approaches, fear not but know ye are master of Death.”
“Relax thy body, resist not with tension. Place in thy heart the flame of thy Soul. Swiftly then sweep it to the seat of the triangle.”
“Hold for a moment, then move to the goal. Thy goal is the place between thine eyebrows, the place where the memory of life must hold sway.”
“Hold thou thy flame here in thy brain-seat until the fingers of Death grasp thy Soul. Then as thou pass through the state of transition, surely the memories of life shall pass, too.”
“Then shalt the past be as one with the present. Then shall the memory of all be retained. Free shalt thou be from all retrogression.”
“The things of the past shall live in today.”
