EMERALD TABLET XV |
| Secret of Secrets (supplementary tablet) |
| |
| Now ye assemble, my children, waiting to hear
the Secret of Secrets which shall give ye power
to unfold the God-man, give ye the way to Eternal
life. Plainly shall I speak of the Unveiled Mysteries.
No dark sayings shall I give unto thee. Open
thine ears now, my children. Hear and obey the
words that I give. |
| |
| First I shall speak of the fetters of darkness
which bind ye in chains to the sphere of the
Earth. |
| |
| Darkness and light are both of one nature,
different only in seeming, for each arose from
the source of all. Darkness is disorder. Light
is Order. Darkness transmuted is light of the
Light. This, my children, your purpose in being;
transmutation of darkness to light. |
| |
| Hear ye now of the mystery of nature, the relations
of life to the Earth where it dwells. Know ye,
ye are threefold in nature, physical, astral
and mental in one. Three are the qualities of
each of the natures; nine in all, as above, so
below. |
| |
| In the physical are these channels, the blood
which moves in vortical motion, reacting on the
heart to continue its beating. Magnetism which
moves through the nerve paths, carrier of energies
to all cells and tissues. Akasa which flows through
channels, subtle yet physical, completing the
channels. Each of the three attuned with each
other, each affecting the life of the body. Form
they the skeletal framework through which the
subtle ether flows. In their mastery lies the
Secret of Life in the body. Relinquished only
by will of the adept, when his purpose in living
is done. |
| |
| Three are the natures of the Astral, mediator
is between above and below; not of the physical,
not of the Spiritual, but able to move above
and below. |
| |
| Three are the natures of Mind, carrier it of
the Will of the Great One. Arbitrator of Cause
and Effect in thy life. Thus is formed the threefold
being, directed from above by the power of four.
Above and beyond man's threefold nature lies
the realm of the Spiritual Self. Four is it in
qualities, shining in each of the planes of existence,
but thirteen in one, the mystical number. Based
on the qualities of man are the Brothers: each
shall direct the unfoldment of being, each shall
channels be of the Great One. |
| |
| On Earth, man is in bondage, bound by space
and time to the earth plane. Encircling each
planet, a wave of vibration, binds him to his
plane of unfoldment. Yet within man is the Key
to releasement, within man may freedom be found. |
| |
| When ye have released the self from the body,
rise to the outermost bounds of your earth-plane.
Speak ye the word Dor-E-Lil-La. Then for a time
your Light will be lifted, free may ye pass the
barriers of space. For a time of half of the
sun (six hours), free may ye pass the barriers
of earth-plane, see and know those who are beyond
thee. Yea, to the highest worlds may ye pass.
See your own possible heights of unfoldment,
know all earthly futures of Soul. |
| |
| Bound are ye in your body, but by the power
ye may be free. This is the Secret whereby bondage
shall be replaced by freedom for thee. |
| |
| Calm let thy mind be. At rest be thy body:
Conscious only of freedom from flesh. Center
thy being on the goal of thy longing. Think over
and over that thou wouldst be free. Think of
this word-La-Um-I-L-Gan-over and over in thy
mind let it sound. Drift with the sound to the
place of thy longing. Free from the bondage of
flesh by thy will. |
| |
| Hear ye while I give the greatest of secrets:
how ye may enter the Halls of Amenti, enter the
place of the immortals as I did, stand before
the Lords in their places. |
| |
| Lie ye down in rest of thy body. Calm thy mind
so no thought disturbs thee. Pure must ye be
in mind and in purpose, else only failure will
come unto thee. Vision Amenti as I have told
in my Tablets. Long with fullness of heart to
be there. Stand before the Lords in thy mind's
eye. Pronounce the words of power I give (mentally);
Mekut-El-Shab-El Hale-Sur-Ben-El-Zabrut Zin-Efrim-Quar-El.
Relax thy mind and thy body. Then be sure your
soul will be called. |
| |
| Now give I the Key to Shamballa, the place
where my Brothers live in the darkness: Darkness
but filled with Light of the Sun-Darkness of
Earth, but Light of the Spirit, guides for ye
when my day is done. |
| |
| Leave thou thy body as I have taught thee.
Pass to the barriers of the deep, hidden place.
Stand before the gates and their guardians. Command
thy entrance by these words: "I am the Light.
In me is no darkness. Free am I of the bondage
of night. Open thou the way of the Twelve and
the One, so I may pass to the realm of wisdom." When
they refuse thee, as surely they will, command
them to open by these words of power: "I
am the Light. For me are no barriers. Open, I
command, by the Secret of Secrets-Edom-El-Ahim-Sabbert-Zur
Adom." Then if thy words have been "Truth" of
the highest, open for thee the barriers will
fall. |
| |
| Now, I leave thee, my children. Down, yet up,
to the Halls shall I go. Win ye the way to me,
my children. Truly my brothers shall ye become. |
| |
Thus finish I my writings. Keys let them be
to those who come after. But only to those who
seek my wisdom, for only for these am I the Key
and the Way. |
