Emerald Tablet 13 ~ Interpreted by: Paul Germana
Listen O’ Humanity, hear the Wisdom! Hear the Word that will fill you with Life. Hear the Word that will banish Darkness. Hear now the voice that banishes the night. Mystery & Wisdom have I given to my children; knowledge and power, descended from olden time. Don’t you know that all is opened unto us when we find the Oneness of all? One will we become with the Masters of Mystery, the Conquerors of Death and the Masters of Life. You will learn of the Flower, the Blossom Of Life what shines in The Halls Of Amenti. In Spirit shall you reach those Halls and bring back the Wisdom, which lives in the Light.
Know always that the gateway to power is secret. Know that the gateway to life is through death. Yes, through death but not as ye know death; a death that is Life and is Fire and is Light. Do you desire to know the deep, hidden secret? Look in your heart where the knowledge is bound. Know that within, the secret is hidden, the source of all life and the source of all death. Listen now Humanity, while I tell you the Secret, and reveal unto you the many secrets of olden time. Deep in Earth’s Heart lies the flower, the source of the Spirit that binds us all in its form. You should know that Earth is living embodied, as you are alive in your own form. The Flower Of Life is as thine own place of Spirit and streams through the Earth, (as yours through you) giving life to Earth and all of her children, renewing the Spirit, even from form to form. This is the Spirit that forms your body, shaping and moulding its full form. Know O Human, your form is dual, balanced in polarity while verily fashioned into its shape.
Know that even if Death quickly approaches, it is only because your balance is shaken. It is because one pole has been lost to it’s place. Know that the secret to life in Amenti IS the secret of restoring full balance to ones poles. All that exists has form and is living now because of the Spirit of life in its poles. Can you not see, that in Earth’s Heart is the balance of all things that exist and have being on its face? The source of your Spirit is drawn from Earth’s Heart; in your formation you are one with Earth. When you have learned to hold your own balance, then YOU shall draw on the balance of Earth. Then you will exist as long as the Earth does, changing form only when the Earth changes, never tasting death. Being at one with the planet, you may hold your form till all things pass away.
Listen O Human, while I give the secret, so that you too may taste of no change. For one hour each day, lie with your head pointed to the place of the positive pole (north). Also for one hour each day, let your head be pointed to the place of the negative pole (south). While your head is placed northward, spread your consciousness from your chest unto your head. The FLOWER will regenerate you! When your head is placed southward, keep your thoughts focused from your chest to your feet. Hold these in balance everyday and balance will retain the whole of its strength in you. Yeah!!! If you’re old, your body will freshen and your strength will become as a youth’s. This is the Secret known unto The Masters, whereby they hold off the fingers of Death. Do not neglect to follow the path I am showing you, for when you have passed beyond a hundred years, to abandon it will mean the sure coming of Death. Hear now my words, and follow the pathway. Keep your balance and live on; you will taste of eternal life and joy for always!
Hear O’ Human, and listen to my voice; listen to what Wisdom tells us about Death. When at the end of thine appointed works, you may desire to pass away from this life, unto the plane where the Suns of the Morning live and have being as The Children Of Light. Pass without pain, pass without sorrow unto that plane, where there is eternal Light. First lie at rest, with your head eastward; fold your hands at the Source of your life (the solar plexus). Place your consciousness in that life seat. Whirl it and divide it north and south. Send the one part out northward and the other, send out towards the south. Relax these also of any hold upon your being. Then out forth from your form will the silver spark fly, upward and onward unto The Sun Of The Morning, blending with Light, at one with its Source; and it shall flame there until desire is created once again.
Then you will return to a physical place; in a bodily form. Listen O’ Human; thus pass the Great Souls, changing at will from life unto life. Thus ever passes the Avatar, willing his Death, even as he wills his own life; both are the same to him. He lives ever without fear, without doubt, without shame or despair. Listen Humanity, drink of my wisdom; learn the Secret, what is Master of Time. Learn how those you call Masters are able to remember the lives of the past. Great is their secret yet easy to master, giving to YOU the mastery of time. If death fast approaches fear not and know YOU are the Master Of Death.
Relax your body, resisting not with tension. Place in your heart the flame of YOUR Soul. Swiftly then sweep it to the Seat Of The Triangle. Hold for a moment, then move to the Goal. This is thy goal, the place between thine eyebrows, the place where the memory of life must hold sway. Hold Thou thy flame there in thy brain-seat until the fingers of Death grasp thy Soul. Then as thou pass through the state of transition, surely the memories of life shall pass on too. Then shalt the past be as one with the present. Then shall the memory of all be retained. Free shalt thou be from all retrogression. The things of the past shall live on forever in Today!
