The Legendary Emerald Tablet And Its Secrets Of The Universe

Another fun though inconclusive article that I can shed more light upon. As with all such ancient wisdom texts, the key to understanding them is the symbology used, and this article does mention the term esoteric. It is beyond obvious in this instance that the so-called Emerald Tablet shown here and supposedly found translated elsewhere is someone's effort to present and profit from an alternative literal storyline. The original symbolism comes out of ancient pre-Ptolemy Egypt, so any real tablet would not be in Greek. Furthermore, the entire concept is symbolic like AmenMoses' two tables of stone and similar concepts. There is indeed a literal body of wisdom that was being referred to and it can be seen in the Doctrine of Two Spirits outline, which is also the true contents of the Two Tables of Stone from Exodus. The text and idea of Ten commandments were inserted much later by religious leaders, but the prophets themselves left proof of the truth.

To better understand the so-called Emerald Tablet of Thoth one must clear up key misconceptions about the symbolism. Just like the Two Tables of Stone in Exodus, the assertion of stone tablets comes from a misinterpretation of the meaning of table in this context. A table is a list of items and if you look at the Doctrine of Two Spirits, you see two tables of seven lines each. This is in part alluded to with the idea of ten commandments written on two stone tablets. Next, notice that the tablets most often shown look just like dual Egyptian Stelae as well the shape of the two feathers shown as the "crown" of Amun. The two feathers usually show seven vertical divisions, matching the number items that should be on each stone. Here are some further quick insights into that fact, and there is much more elsewhere.

Zechariah 3:9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, said the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

Proverbs 9:1 Wisdom has built Her house; She has hewn out Her seven pillars.

Revelation 5:6 (reconstructed) And I beheld, and, lo, within the midst of the throne and of the four creatures, and within the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Next is to understand what the symbolism of stones, gems, and crystals actually means. Stone is one of the symbols for wisdom that alludes to pivotal knowledge that has stood the tests of time. Stone is also a symbol for ancient wisdom. On the other hand, crystals symbolize spiritual wisdom and gems are spiritual wisdom more valuable than gold. An emerald is a green and highly valued gemstone and green is one symbol for life. Thereby, emerald symbolizes spiritual wisdom about life. Among the tales about the emerald tablet is the assertion that the information would fit on a single gemstone.

Now look again at the Doctrine of Two Spirits, and keep in mind the same dualism seen in Egypt and AmenMoses' Two Tables of Stone. The two "spirits" or ways are also symbolized as light and dark, air and earth, and other dual pairs. Life and death are another. Thereby, the two tables are the wisdom related to life and death and very specifically, the upper half (truth, wisdom, compassion, justice, etc.) is symbolized as life and the lower is associated with death. With that understanding, and the fact that the "emerald table" of Thoth refers to spiritual wisdom about life, the upper half of the Doctrine of Two Spirits is the "emerald table.' It is also vital to understand that dualism is wisdom and both light and dark, life and death, etc. must be understood before there is any true wisdom. Thereby, the dualism seen in Egypt and elsewhere requires that there be two tables, whether on separate stones or gems or merely on opposite sides. Both would fit the symbolic requirements. Remember the Hall of Two Ways or two truths?

Enough for now...
