Emerald Tablet XIV: Becoming Thrice Greatest
“This Earth is but a portal, guarded by powers unknown to man.”
“Man in the future will deny the mysteries but always the way the seeker will find.”
Thoth wrote that humans must make of his wisdom a religion, “for only thus will its essence remain.”
“Regions there are two between this life and the Great One, traveled by the Souls who depart from this Earth.”
“Duat, the home of the powers of illusion. Sekhet Hetspet, the House of the Gods. Osiris, the symbol of the guard of the portal, who turns back the souls of unworthy men.”
“Beyond lies the sphere of the heaven-born powers, Arulu, the land where the Great Ones have passed.”
This, Thoth wrote, is his “Ancient home” where he will return to “join the Great Ones” when his “work among men has been finished.”
“Ba is the essence, living forever. Ka is the Shadow that man knows as life.”
“Ba cometh not until Ka is incarnate.”
“In the primeval, dwell three unities.”
“These are the equilibrium, source of creation: one God, one Truth, one point of freedom.”
“Three come forth from the three of the balance: all life, all good, all power.”
“Three are the qualities of God in his Light-home: Infinite power, Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Love.”
“Three are the powers given to the Masters: To transmute evil, assist good, use discrimination.”
“Three are the things inevitable for God to perform: Manifest power, wisdom and love.”
“Three are the powers creating all things: Divine Love possessed of perfect knowledge, Divine Wisdom knowing all possible means, Divine Power possessed by the joint will of Divine Love and Wisdom.”
“Three are the circles of existence: The circle of Light where dwells nothing but God, and only God can traverse it, the circle of Chaos where all things by nature arise from death, the circle of awareness where all things spring from life.”
“All things animate are of three states of existence: chaos or death, liberty in humanity and felicity of Heaven.”
“Three necessities control all things: beginning in the Great Deep, the circle of chaos, plenitude in Heaven.”
“Three are the paths of the Soul: Man, Liberty, Light.”
“Three are the hindrances: lack of endeavor to obtain knowledge, non-attachment to god, attachment to evil.”
“Above the sky, like a rainbow of Fire and Sunlight, were formed the spirits.”
“Then from the midst of the Fire came a voice: Behold the Glory of the first Cause.”
“I attained, as it were, to the God of all Gods, the Spirit-Sun, the Sovereign of the Sun spheres.”
“There is one, even the First, who hath no beginning, who hath no end, who hath made all things, who govern all, who is good, who is just, who illumines, who sustains.”
“Then from the throne, there poured a great radiance, surrounding and lifting my soul by its power.”
Thoth wrote that he was taken to Arulu and “stood before the Lords in their Houses,” who opened the Doorway that allowed him to “glimpse the primeval chaos,” the “secret heart of the cosmos.”
“Shuddered my soul to the vision of horror, shrank back my soul from the ocean of darkness.”
“Then saw I the need for the barriers, saw the need for the Lords of Arulu … Only they could guard God's creation.”
“Saw all the souls who had conquered the darkness. Saw the splendor of Light where they dwelled.”
Thoth wrote that he longed to join them, but also longed for the path he had chosen to complete his work among men.
“Passed I from the Halls of Arulu down to the earth space where my body lay.”
“Arose I from the earth where I rested. Stood I before the Dweller. Have my pledge to renounce my Great right until my work on Earth was completed, until the Age of darkness be past.”
“Through the dark ages, waiting and watching, my Spirit shall remain in the deep hidden land.”
