Excerpts Of The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus

Mike G. on 12 11, 2009

“Truth without falsehood, certain and most true, that which is above is the same as that which is below, and that which is without is the same as that which is within, for the performance of the miracles of the One Thing. And as all things are from One by the mediation of One, so all things have their birth from this One Thing by adaptation.
The Sun is its Father, the Moon its’ Mother. The Wind carries it in its’ belly, and its nurse is the Earth. This is the Father of all perfection or consummation of the whole world. Its’ power is integrating if it be turned into earth. Thou shall separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, suavely and with great skill and ingenuity. It ascends from the earth to heaven and descends again to earth, and receives the power of the superiors and all the inferiors.
So thou hast the glory of the whole world; therefore let all obscurity flee before thee. This is the strong force of all forces, overcoming every subtle and penetrating every solid thing. So the world was created. Hence we are all wonderful adaptations of which this is the manner. Therefore am I called Hermes Trismegistus, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world. This completes what I have to say concerning the Operation of the Sun.”
