The Tablet of Thoth

Preface:
The history of the tablets translated in the following pages is
strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists.
Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some
36,000 years B.C. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean
Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after
the sinking of the mother country.
He was the builder of
the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops.
In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom
and also securely secreted records and instruments of
ancient Atlantis.
For some 16,000 years, he ruled the ancient race of Egypt,
from approximately 52,000 B.C. to 36,000 B.C. At that time,
the ancient barbarous race among which he and his followers
had settled had been raised to a high degree of civilization.
Thoth was an immortal, that is, he had conquered death, passing
only when he willed and even then not through death. His vast
wisdom made him ruler over the various Atlantean colonies,
including the ones in South and Central America.
When the time came for him to leave Egypt, he erected the Great
Pyramid over the entrance to the Great Halls of Amenti, placed
in it his records, and appointed guards for his secrets from
among the highest of his people.
In later times, the descendants
of these guards became the pyramid priests, by which Thoth
was deified as the God of Wisdom, The Recorder, by those in the age of darkness which followed his
passing. In legend, the Halls of Amenti became the underworld,
the Halls of the gods, where the soul passed after death for
judgment.
During later ages, the ego of Thoth passed into the bodies of
men in the manner described in the tablets. As such, he
incarnated three times, in his last being known as Hermes,
the thrice-born.
In this incarnation, he left the writings known
to modern occultists as the Emerald Tablets, a later and far
lesser exposition of the ancient mysteries.
The tablets translated in this work are ten which were left
in the Great Pyramid in the custody of the pyramid priests.
The ten are divided into thirteen parts for the sake of
convenience.
The last two are so great and far-reaching in
their import that at present it is forbidden to release them
to the world at large. However, in those contained herein are
secrets which will prove of inestimable value to the serious
student.
They should be read, not once, but a hundred times for only
thus can the true meaning be revealed. A casual reading
will give glimpses of beauty, but more intensive study will
open avenues of wisdom to the seeker.

But now a word as to how these mighty secrets came to be
revealed to modern man after being hidden so long.
Some thirteen hundred years B.C., Egypt, the ancient Khem,
was in turmoil and many delegations of priests were sent to
other parts of the world.
Among these were some of the
pyramid priests who carried with them the Emerald Tablets
as a talisman by which they could exercise authority over
the less advanced priest-craft of races descended from
other Atlantean colonies.
The tablets were understood
from legend to give the bearer authority from Thoth.
The particular group of priests bearing the tablets emigrated
to South America where they found a flourishing race,
the Mayas who remembered much of the ancient wisdom.
Among these, the priests settled and remained. In the tenth
century, the Mayas had thoroughly settled the Yucatan,
and the tablets were placed beneath the altar of one of
the great temples of the Sun God.
After the conquest of
the Mayas by the Spaniards, the cities were abandoned
and the treasures of the temples forgotten.
It should be understood that the Great Pyramid of Egypt has
been and still is a temple of initiation into the mysteries.
Jesus, Solomon, Apollonius and others were initiated there.
The writer (who has a connection with the Great White
Lodge which also works through the pyramid priesthood)
was instructed to recover and return to the Great Pyramid
the ancient tablets.
This, after adventures which need not be detailed here, was
accomplished. Before returning them, he was given permission
to translate and retain a copy of the wisdom engraved on
the tablets.
This was done in 1925 and only now has permission been
given for part to be published. It is expected that many will scoff.
Yet the true student will read between the lines and gain wisdom.
If the light is in you,
the light which is engraved in these tablets will respond.
Now, a word as to the material aspect of the tablets. They consist
of twelve tablets of emerald green, formed from a substance
created through alchemical transmutation. They are imperishable,
resistant to all elements and substances. In effect, the atomic
and cellular structure is fixed, no change ever taking place.
In this respect, they violate the material law of ionization. Upon them are engraved characters in the ancient
Atlantean language:
characters which respond to attuned thought waves,
releasing the associated mental vibration
in the mind of the reader.
The tablets are fastened together with hoops of golden-colored alloy
suspended from a rod of the same material. So much for the material
appearance.
The wisdom contained therein is the foundation of the
ancient mysteries. And for the one who reads with open eyes and
mind, his wisdom shall be increased a hundred-fold.
Read. Believe or not, but read. And the vibration found therein
will awaken a response in your soul.
In the following pages, I will reveal some of the mysteries which as
yet have only been touched upon lightly either by myself or other
teachers or students of truth.
Man's search for understanding of the laws which regulate his life
has been unending, yet always just beyond the veil which shields the
higher planes from material man's vision the truth has existed, ready
to be assimilated by those who enlarge their vision by turning inward,
not outward, in their search.
In the silence of material senses lies the key to the unveiling of
wisdom. He who talks does not know; he who knows does not
talk.
The highest knowledge is unutterable, for it exists as an
entity in lanes which transcend all material words or symbols.
All symbols are but keys to doors leading to truths, and many times
the door is not opened because the key seems so great that
the things which are beyond it are not visible.

If we can understand that all keys, all material symbols are
manifestations, are but extensions of a great law and truth,
we will begin to develop the vision which will enable us to
penetrate beyond the veil.

All things in all universes move according to law, and the law
which regulates the movement of the planets is no more immutable
than the law which regulates the material expressions of man.

One of the greatest of all Cosmic Laws is that which is responsible
for the formation of man as a material being.
The great aim of
the mystery schools of all ages has been to reveal the workings
of the Law which connect man the material and man the spiritual.
The connecting link between the material man and the spiritual man
is the intellectual man, for the mind partakes of both the material
and immaterial qualities.
The aspirant for higher knowledge must
develop the intellectual side of his nature and so strengthen his will
that is able to concentrate all powers of his being on and in the
plane he desires.

The great search for light, life and love only begins on the material
plane. Carried to its ultimate, its final goal is complete oneness with
the universal consciousness. The foundation in the material is the
first step; then comes the higher goal of spiritual attainment.
In the following pages, I will give an interpretation of the Emerald
Tablets and their secret, hidden and esoteric meanings.
Concealed
in the words of Thoth are many meanings that do not appear on
the surface.
Light of knowledge brought to bear upon the
Tablets will open many new fields for thought.
"Read and be wise" but only if the light of your own consciousness
awakens the deep-seated understanding which is an inherent
quality of the soul.
