EMERALD TABLET V |
| The Dweller of Unal |
| |
| Oft dream I of buried Atlantis, lost in the
ages that have passed into night. Aeon on aeon
thou existed in beauty, a shining through the
darkness of night. |
| |
| Mighty in power, ruling the earth-born, Lord
of the Earth in Atlantis' day. King of the nations,
master of wisdom, Light through Suntal, Keeper
of the Way, dwelt in his Temple, the Master of
Unal, Light of the Earth in Atlantis' day. |
| |
| Master, He, from a cycle beyond us, living
in bodies as one among men. Not as the earth-born,
He from beyond us, Sun of a cycle, advanced beyond
men. |
| |
| Know ye, O man, that Horlet the Master, was
never one with the children of men. Far in the
past time when Atlantis first grew as a power,
appeared there one with the Key of Wisdom, showing
the way of Light to all. |
| |
| Showed he to all men the path of attainment,
way of the Light that flows among men. Mastering
darkness, leading the Man-Soul, upward to heights
that were One with the Light. |
| |
| Divided the Kingdoms, He into sections. Ten
were they, ruled by children of men. Upon another,
built He a Temple, built but not by the children
of men. |
| |
| Out of the Ether called He its substance, moulded
and formed by the power of Ytolan into the forms
He built with His mind. Mile upon mile it covered
the island, space upon space it grew in its might.
Black, yet not black, but dark like the space-time,
deep in its heart the Essence of Light. Swiftly
the Temple grew into being, moulded an shaped
by the Word of the Dweller, called from the formless
into a form. |
| |
| Builded He then, within it, great chambers,
filled them from forms called forth from the
Ether, filled them with wisdom called forth by
His mind. |
| |
| Formless was He within his Temple, yet was
He formed in the image of man. Dwelling among
them yet not of them, strange and far different
was He from the children of men. |
| |
| Chose He then from among the people, Three
who became his gateway. Chose He the Three from
the Highest to become his links with Atlantis.
Messengers they, who carried his councel, to
the kings of the children of men. |
| |
| Brought He forth others and taught them wisdom;
teachers, they, to the children of men. Placed
He them on the island of Undal to stand as teachers
of Light to men. |
| |
| Each of those who were thus chosen, taught
must he be for years five and ten. Only thus
could he have understanding to being Light to
the children of men. Thus there came into being
the Temple, a dwelling place for the Master of
man. |
| |
| I, Thoth, have ever sought wisdom, searching
in darkness and searching in Light. Long in my
youth I traveled the pathway, seeking ever new
knowledge to gain. Until after much striving,
one of the Three, to me brought the Light. Brought
He to me the commands of the Dweller, called
me from darkness into the Light. Brought He me,
before the Dweller, deep in the Temple before
the great Fire. |
| |
| There on the great throne, beheld I, the Dweller,
clothed with the Light and flashing with fire.
Down I knelt before that great wisdom, feeling
the Light flowing through me in waves. Heard
I then the voice of the Dweller: "O darkness,
come into the Light. Long have ye sought the
pathway to the Light. Each soul on earth that
loosens its fetters shall soon be made free from
the bondage of night. Forth from the darkness
have ye arisen, closer approached the Light of
your goal. Here ye shall dwell as one of my children,
keeper of records gathered by wisdom, instrument
thou of the Light from beyond. Ready be thou
made to do what is needed, perserver of wisdom
though the ages of darkness that shall come fast
on the children of men. Live thee here and drink
of all wisdom. Secrets and mysteries unto thee
shall unveil." |
| |
| Then answered I, the Master of Cycles, saying: "O
Light, that descended to men, give thou to me
of thy wisdom that I might be a teacher of men.
Give thou of thy Light that I may be free." |
| |
| Spoke then to me again, the Master: "Age
after age shall ye live through your wisdom.
Aye, when o'er Atlantis the ocean waves roll,
holding the Light, though hidden in darkness,
ready to come when e'er thou shalt call. Go thee
now and learn greater wisdom. Grow thou through
Light to Infinity's ALL." |
| |
| Long then dwelt I in the Temple of the Dweller
until at last I was One with the Light. |
| |
| Followed I then the path to the star planes,
followed I then the pathway to Light. Deep into
Earth's heart I followed the pathway, learning
the secrets, below as above; learning the pathway
to the Halls of Amenti; learning the Law that
balances the world. To earth's hidden chambers
pierced I by my wisdom, deep through the Earth's
crust, into the pathway, hidden for ages from
the children of men. Unveiled before me, ever
more wisdom until I reached a new knowledge:
found that all is part of an ALL, great and yet
greater than all that we know. Searched I Infinity's
heart through the ages. Deep and yet deeper,
more mysteries I found. |
| |
| Now, as I look back through the ages, know
I that wisdom is boundless, ever grown greater
throughout the ages, One with Infinity's greater
than all. |
| |
| Light there was in ancient Atlantis. Yes, darkness,
too, was hidden in all. Fell from the Light into
the darkness, some who had risen to heights among
men. Proud they became because of their knowledge,
proud were they of their place among men. Deep
delved they into the forbidden, opened the gateway
that led to below. Sought they to gain ever more
knowledge but seeking to bring it up from below. |
| |
| He who descends below must have balance, else
he is bound by lack of our Light. Opened, they
then, by their knowledge, pathways forbidden
to man. |
| |
| But, in His Temple, all-seeing, the Dweller,
lay in his Agwanti, which through Atlantis His
soul roamed free. Saw He the Atlanteans, by their
magic, opening the gateway that would bring to
Earth a great woe. Fast fled His soul then, back
to His body. Up He arose from His Agwanti. Called
He the Three mighty messengers. Gave the commands
that shattered the world. |
| |
| Deep 'neath Earth's crust to the Halls of Amenti,
swiftly descended the Dweller. Called He then
on the powers of the Seven Lords wielded; changed
the Earth's balance. Down sank Atlantis beneath
the dark waves. |
| |
| Shattered the gateway that had been opened;
shattered the doorway that led down below. All
of the islands were shattered except Unal, and
part of the island of the sons of the Dweller.
Preserved He them to be the teachers, Lights
on the path for those to come after, Lights for
the lesser children of man. |
| |
| Called He then, I Thoth, before him, gave me
commands for all I should do, saying: "Take
thou, O Thoth, all of your wisdom. Take all your
records. Take all your magic. Go thou forth preserving
the records until in time Light grows among men.
Light shalt thou be all through the ages, hidden
yet found by enlightened men. Over all Earth,
give WE ye power, free thou to give or take it
away. Gather thou now the sons of Atlantis. Take
them and flee to the people of the rock caves.
Fly to the land of the Children of Khem." |
| |
| Then gathered I the sons of Atlantis. Into
the spaceship I brought all my records, brought
the records of sunken Atlantis. Gathered I all
of my powers, instruments many of mighty magic. |
| |
| Up then we rose on wings of the morning. High
we arose above the Temple, leaving behind the
three and Dweller, deep in the Halls 'neath the
Temple. Down 'neath the waves sank the great
Temple, closing the pathway to the Lords of the
Cycles. Yet ever to him who has knowing, open
shall be the path to Amenti. |
| |
| Fast fled we then on the wings of the morning,
fled to the land of the children of Khem. There
by my power, I conquered and ruled them. Raised
I to Light, the children of Khem. |
| |
| Deep 'neath the rocks, I buried my spaceship,
waiting the time when man might be free. Over
the spaceship, erected a marker in the form of
a lion yet like unto man. There 'neath the image
rests yet my spaceship, forth to be brought when
need shall arise. |
| |
| Know ye, O man, that far in the future invaders
shall come from out of the deep. Then awake,
ye who have wisdom. Bring forth my ship and conquer
with ease. |
| |
| Deep 'neath the image lies my secret. Search
and find in the pyramid I built. Each to the
other is the Keystone; each the gateway that
leads into Life. Follow the Key I leave behind
me. Seek and the doorway to Life shall be thine.
Seek thou in my pyramid, deep in the passage
that ends in a wall. Use thou the Key of the
Seven, and open to thee the pathway will fall. |
| |
| Now unto thee I have given my wisdom. Now unto
thee I have given my way. Follow the pathway.
Solve thou my secrets. Unto thee I have shown
the way. |
