Dear Greats,
The Emerald Tablet was originally birthed into this world by Hermes Trismegistus and has since been translated by countless Greats.
It is a foundational alchemical text that speaks to the nature of existence and the power of transmutation; some believe it to describe God.
The below translation was found amongst Isaac Newtons notes - yes, the man who discovered the laws of gravity. Enjoy.
“Tis true without error, certain & most true.
That which is below is like that which is above & that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing.
And as all things have been & arose from one by the mediation of one: so, all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse.
The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.
Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry.
It ascends from the earth to the heaven & again it descends to the earth & receives the force of things superior & inferior.
By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world
& thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
Its force is above all force. For it vanquishes every subtle thing & penetrates every solid thing.
So was the world created.
From this are & do come admirable adaptations whereof the means (or process) is here in this. Hence, I am called Hermes Trismegistus, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.
That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished & ended.”
The ability to conjure the above passage speaks to the transmutational power of Hermes Trismegistus who absorbed truths and transformed them into words.
The Emerald Tablet is proof of itself - Meditate on that, you won’t regret it.
Hermes The Giant, an entity on whose shoulders we now stand.
The modern minds takes for granted that which hitherto was a grand discovery. The Emerald Tablet has created shockwaves through time and is foundational for many Great creations since.
“That which goes up, must come down.” - Isaac Newton on the Laws of Gravity. Seemingly, hermetic philosophy translated into hard science.
Philosophy allows us to understand that which science clamours to explain in its desperation for measurable truths - I digress…
The 7 Immutable Hermetic Principles are as follows:
Below are 7 immutable principles derived from Hermetic philosophy, you can read about these in The Kybalion.
The principle of Mentalism.
The principle of Correspondence.
The principle of Vibration.
The principle of Polarity.
The principle of Rhythm.
The principle of Cause and Effect.
The principle of Gender.
These Principles are Powerful and can be harnessed throughout ones life, understanding them will enable you to craft your reality with alchemical power. Use it wisely.
I guess if you’re reading this then you’re already one of the Greats.
