After we sifted some of the wisdom of deciphering Tablet I of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, let us delve into exploring what we can sniff out from Tablet II hoping to raise awareness of the importance of this mystical and ancient treasure for the human race.
And as I imagine myself cracking a nutshell while browsing between the vagueness of its lines I could not resist picking out of my library shelves the Nut Cracker for Tschaickovsky to assist me in roaming into my trance mode in search of inspiration and enlightenment.
Tablet II:
Deep in Earth Heart lies the Halls of Amenti
Far beneath the islands of sunken Atlantis
Lets us initiate our deciphering by applying some vivid imagination in an attempt to tackle Tablet two and its wonders.
This is an indication to the location of the Halls of Amenti which represents a major clue in the whole of the Emerald Tablets since it is the sanctuary of Thoth and the Place where he sustained his immortality and accordingly gained his eternity.
If we look at the term heart used to pinpoint the location of Amenti from a metaphorical perspective we would do well if we take into consideration that everything in our existence tends to have a heart, and that is why I chose the picture above to illustrate that an apple is with a heart just as everything surrounding our reality.
Now if we consider that there is an outer space to every surface wouldn’t the heart represent the inner space of whichever that we intend! And if we are to stretch further in our imagination wouldn’t that also mean that this consciously invisible inner space would also belong to the subconscious realm of our realization. Hence I will refer to it as a sub or inner dimension in opposite to the outer dimension which we perceive in our three dimensional world concept.
And since the heart of earth the core plays a major role in stabilizing the magnetic field that makes it possible for us to exist in the environment we live within therefore is the explanation of the following verse of the tablet:
Halls of the Dead and halls of the Living
Bathed in the fire of the infinite All
It clearly relates life and death the two forces that dictates and shapes our space-time and our destiny.
As we notice in the verse to follow; Far in the past time, lost in the space-time, the mentioning of past time and space-time is in fact intended to give hint to the hidden purpose of what is in mind. That would explain my above mentioned reference of inner and outer dimensions in our three dimensional world concept.
Verse;
seeing the children of men in their bondage
Bound by the force that came from beyond
Knew they that only by freedom from bondage
Could man ever rise from the Earth to the Sun,
What is that force and what bondage are we supposed to be freed from else then life and death and therefore unite with Thoth through eternity as creatures of light.
Verse;
Down they descended and created bodies taking the semblance of men as their own
The Masters of everything said after their forming.
We are they who were formed from the space dust
Partaking of life from the infinite All;
Living in the world as children of men
Like and yet unlike the children of men.
There are several quotations from the book of Enoch, the old testament, the new testament, and the Quran all referring to an existence of a hybrid race, a mix of more than one race that formed apparently after the flood which coexisted with the human race and that may in fact shed needed light on further explaining why Darwin’s theory of evolution got stuck with a dead end referred to scientifically as the missing link.
In Jewish and Christian theology Genisis; 6:4, Numbers 13:33 and Ezekiel; 32 27, they are referred to as the Nephilim regard to be the offspring of sons of God and daughters of men who inhabited the ancient land of Canaan in historical philistine, where as in Quran there is a reference that we were formed from the descendants of another people, in Surat Al An’am, the cattle; 6 verse 133: (And your Lord is the Free of need, the possessor of mercy. If He wills, he can do away with you and give succession after you to whomever He wills, just as He produced you from the descendants of another people). They were the giants that I dedicated a previous article in their cause, follow the link Giants on our website for further information explaining their whereabouts and how they came into being, you will also find an ample of valuable information extracted from the Book of Enoch connecting the puzzle in your head together to begin to make more sense.
Having that said; there is another mentioning in the Quran that referred to Allah addressing Satan indicating that Satan will eventually share with man and mans offspring. Surat al Isra 17:64: (And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them.” But Satan does not promise them except delusion.) This would add further elaboration on the kind of hybrid offspring, considering that the giants were of a violent destructive nature to the rest of mankind, where as Thoth refers to another kind of hybrid made from the dust of light.
There are two kinds of hybrid that may be sharing space in our three dimensional world.
Verse from Tablet II:
Then for a dwelling place, far beneath the earth crust
Blasted great spaces they by their power
Spaces apart from the children of men
Surrounded them by forces and power,
Shielded from harm they the halls of the Dead.
Apparently, this can only mean blasting a parallel world belonging to a parallel dimension of space-time that coexists within our own yet beyond our perception with a force field separating the two worlds and keeping them apart.
The last line is what I find interesting since it mentioned shielding the hall of the Dead from harm a notation to the fragile nature of the halls of death as if to hint at an existing possibility of penetrating or exiting it at one stage and that also has another reference as we will find out while we pursue ahead through the Emerald Tablets.
Side by side then, placed they other spaces
Filled them with life and with light from above
Built they then the halls of Amenti
That they might dwell eternally there
Living with life to eternity’s end.
The reference to parallel worlds in here is very clear, where as the specified other spaces are just as clear that it contains the very substance of eternity life force, the Halls of Amenti.
Thirty and two were there of the children
Sons of Light who had come among men
Seeking to free from the bondage of darkness
Those who were bound by the force from beyond
The thirty-two stands for thirty-two paths to wisdom according to Jewish Kabala, but what the kabala fails to reveal is that the thirty-two also stand for thirty-two advanced beings emissaries to rehab mankind into living management on a new earth. And to be able to comprehend why thirty-two we need to look at the number from the basics of as above as below.
In our world we have East, West, North, and South and the above and below, repeat this calculation for the underworld, then repeat for a parallel world for each world that makes six for each multiplied by four equals, thirty-two.
There is further explanation related to this number but as we go by we will get back to the additional in due time and when we get to its relevant section.
Now, if we are to go back to the Quran it clearly states in Surat al Rahman the existence of two sunsets and two sunrises and it also explains a lot more in relation to more than one world and different dimensions and the advancement of Jinn in space travel and astral physics. 55:17-: [He is] Lord of the two sunrises and Lord of the two sunsets. Where as in the first Surat al Fatiha 1:2, [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And there is much further indications related to supporting the theory related to multi-dimensions, plural worlds, multi-universe, and the ever expansion of the skies in the Quran as well.
Deep in the Halls of Life grew a flower, flaming
Expanding driving backward the night
The flower-shaped flame which is the symbol of life force due to the nature of life which grows out of a seed like a flower.
Placed in the centre a ray of great potence, Life
Giving, Light giving, filling with power all who came near it.
Placed they around it thrones, two and thirty
Placed for each of the Children of Light
Placed so that they were bathed in the radiance
Filled with the Life from the eternal Light
As you may notice that the ray of great potence was placed in the center and as previously mentioned above when there is a center there is the inner and there is the outer.
And since we are all a form of energy in origin (read my article Human metamorphosis) Light is the basic and most pure substance of that energy, therefore the Ray of great potency granting life, light, and power.
There time after time placed they their first created bodies
So that they might be filled with the Spirit of Life
One hundred years out of each thousand must they
Life giving Light flame forth on their bodies
Quickening awakening the Spirit of life
If we are to understand their need to recharge every one hundred years out of thousand passing years we need to imagine our origin before we take our human form when we were in the many stages that preceded the temporal human form and how we will end up after our astral body departs from our physical body and rejoins the substance of light in later stages.
Our transformation cycle as humans may extend to a hundred and forty or even fifty years in our earthly life cycle, theirs is a thousand years and that is in reference to Time, after time phrase mentioned in the first line, life on earth my equal to several hours and a couple of days in comparison to life in other dimensions.
There in the circle from eon to eon
Sit the Great Masters
Living a life not known among men
There in the Halls of life they lie dormant
Free flows their Souls through the bodies of men
Time after time, while their bodies lie dormant
Incarnate they in the bodies of men
Teaching and guiding onward and upward
Out of the darkness into the light
There in the Hall of Life, filled with their wisdom
Known not to the races of man, living forever beneath the cold
Fire of life, sit the children of Light
Times there are when they awaken
Come from the depths to the lights among men
Infinite they among finite men
These great Masters are what we will get back to later as we go to further expand in elaborating on the number thirty-two.
He who by progress has grown from the darkness
Lifted himself from the night into light
Free is he made of the Halls of Amenti
Free of the Flower of Light and of Life
Guided he then, by the wisdom and knowledge
Passes from men, to the Master of Life.
There he may dwell as one with the Masters
Free from the bonds of the darkness of night
Seated within the flower of radiance sit seven
Lords from the Space-Times above us
Helping and guiding through infinite wisdom
The pathway through time of the children of men
The above is clearly meant to entice us to work on self-improvement and to develop our spirituality and the goodness in us and endeavor to become advanced human beings to prepare ourselves to pass to the afterlife where true eternity is and where the flower of life is awaiting to embrace us, within its ray of enlightenment and eternity beside the great seven masters in charge of us and our affairs.
The last line is what attracts me to explore, that is the pathway through time of the children of men, the awaited and inevitable transition is fulfilled through time that is the time we spend on earth during this life cycle to accomplish our human metamorphosis and transform into eternity.
Mighty and strange, they
Veiled with their power
Silent and all-knowing
Drawing the Life force
Different and yet one with the
Children of men
Aye, different, and yet one
With the Children of Light
Custodians and watchers of the forces of man’s bondage
Ready to loosen when the light has been reached
First and most might
Sits the Veiled presence. Lord of Lords
The infinite Nine
Over the other from each
The lords of the cycles
Three, Four, Five and Six, Seven, Eight
Each with this mission, each with his powers
Guiding, directing the destiny of man
There sit they, might and potent
Free of all time and space
First I would like to draw your attention to the number of the masters, they are seven, and infinite Nine is clearly the one in charge that leaves six running our affairs this is to correlate what I aforementioned in my note on the number thirty-two above.
As for starting with three till eight that is because the One and complimentary two belongs to the all mighty and divine maker, as for the infinite Nine, the attributes of number Nine are that it is actually the last digit number from zero in comparison to number one which is the first digit number from zero that is.
Zero is an infinite both ways, you go infinite minus zero or infinite plus, this is where the one begins while two compliments.
Not of this world they
Yet akin to it
Elder Brothers they
Of the children of men
Judging and weighing
They with their wisdom
Watching the progress
Of the Light among men
There before them I was led by the Dweller
Watched him blend with ONE from above
Those are the watchers who are directly in charge of our worldly affairs they are the Master of the guardian angels that watch over us and keep records of our progress in this earthly cycles.
Note that there is a ray of light that generates from every being and we are included, and as we progress the ray of light shapes into different colors and brightness or dimness based upon the level we reach in our progress, an angel would immediately know which level and what category we are at by observing our ray, its shape and its level of brightness or dimness and so on and so forth.
The origin of the light circle on top of saints and prophets heads in illustrations and medieval paintings and drawings have an origin after all.
The dweller takes Thoth to meet face to face with the maker
You may read the (book of Enoch) to get a clearer picture of what is meant in here. I strongly believe that Enoch was actually Thoth among tens of other names he was known of throughout history (read or listen to the true identity of Thoth is revealed).
Then from He came forth a voice saying
Great art thou, Thoth, among children of men
Free henceforth of the Halls of Amenti
Master of Life among children of men
Taste not of death except as thou will it
Drink thou of Life to Eternity end
Henceforth forever is Life
Thine for the taking
Henceforth is Death at the call of thine hand
Dwell here or leave here when thou desireth
Take thou up Life in what form thou desireth
Child of the Light that has grown among men
Choose thou the work, for all should, must labor
Never be free from the pathway of light.
This is a continuation of the record of the encounter that took place between the God and Thoth which was also detailed in the Book of Enoch when Enoch or Thoth was granted eternity.
One step thou have gained on the long pathway upward
Infinite now is the mountain of Light
Each step thou taketh but heightens the mountain;
All of they progress but lengthens the goal
Approach ye ever the Infinite Wisdom
Ever before thee recedes the goal
Free are y made now of the Halls of Amenti
To walk hand in hand with the Lords of the world
One in one purpose, working together
Bring of Light to the children of men.
What I find most fascinating in this paragraph is the indication to labor in self-improvement, the progress, yet above all the long journey which is as infinite as the Light and eternity granted to Thoth.
He was told by the Creator that his journey is a continuous effort that increases as he progress, which would mean that the mission will be continuous and the responsibility will only grow stronger in the afterlife and based upon evaluating once earthly achievements ones assignment would be dictated in the beyond if one chooses to share a place amongst the angels of heavens.
Then from his throne came one of the Masters
Taking my hand and leading me onward
Through all the Halls of the deep hidden land
Led he me through the Halls of Amenti
Showing me the mysteries that are known not to man
Through the dark passages, downward he lead me
Into the Halls where site the dark Death
Vast as space lay the great Hall before me,
Walled by darkness but yet filled with light.
This paragraph reminds me of a verse from the Quran which is so similar in its detailed description of this wall, in surah Al Hadid; 57:13 it says; (On the [same] Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to those who believed, “Wait for us that we may acquire some of your light.” It will be said, “Go back behind you and seek light. “And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing mercy, but on the outside of it is torment). There are several thousand years between the two books, is that a coincidence or is it a reminder that the source of enlightenment to humanity is but one.
Before me arose a great throne of darkenss
Veiled on it seated a figure of night
Darker than darkness sat the great figure
Dark with a darkness not of the night
Before it then paused the Master, speaking
The world that brings about Life, saying;
“Oh master of darkness
Guide of the way from Life unto Life
Before thee I bring a Sun of the morning
Touch him no ever with the power of night
Call not his flame to the darkness of night
Know him, and see him
One of our brothers
Lifted from darkness into the Light,
Release thou his flame from its bondage
Free let it flame through the darkness of night.”
Raised then the hand of the figure
Forth came a flame that grew clear and bright
Rolled back swiftly then curtain of darkness
Unveiled the Hall from the darkness of night
This is an account of the encounter between Thoth and the Master that led him who was Gabriel and the angel of death.
Then grew in the great space before me
Flame after flame, from the veil of the night
Uncounted millions leaped they before me
Some flaming forth as flowers of fire
Others there were that shed a dim radiance
Flowing but faintly from out of the night
Some there were that faded swiftly
Others that grew from a small spark of light
Each surrounded by its dim veil of darkness
Yet flaming with light that could never be quenched
Coming and going like fireflies in springtime,
Filled they the space with Light and with Life
Then spoke a voice, mighty and solemn, saying
These are lights that are souls among men growing and fading, existing forever
Changing yet living, through death into life
When they have bloomed into flower
Reached the zenith of growth in their life,
Swiftly then send I my veil of darkness
Shrouding and changing to new forms of life
What Thoth was seeing in this episode was none else than souls of beings each lights and radiance is based on its merits and achievements.
Steadily upward throughout the ages, growing
Expanding into yet another flame
Lighting the darkness with yet greater power
Quenched yet unquenched by the veil of the night.
So grows the soul of man ever upward
Quenched yet unquenched by the darkness of night
I, Death, come and yet I remain not
For life eternal exists in the All
Only an obstacle, I in the pathway
Quick to be conquered by the infinite light
Awaken, O flame that burns ever inward,
Flame forth and conquer the veil of the night.
A clear statement that we are light origin beings and on a transit phase of our life journey, once our earthly phase is expired, we move to another phase to be decided upon our merits and achievements and ever-advancing even after our earthly death, a magnificent recycling process that never stops.
Then in the midst of the flames
In the darkness grew there one that
Drove forth the night, flaming, expanding, ever brighter, until at last was nothing but Light.
Then spoke my guide, the voice of the master
See your own soul as it grows in the light
Forward with the mysteries of the Children of Light, mysteries that man may never yet know of until he, too, is a Sun of the Light.
Backward then HE led me into the Light
Of the hall of the Light, knelt I then before the great Masters, Lords of all from the cycles above
Spoke HE then with the words of great power saying
Thou hast been made free of the Halls of Amenti
Choose thou they work among the children of men.
We realize from this paragraph that not only Thoth was given eternal life and enlightenment but he was also granted to choose his assignment in life.
Then spoke I:
O, great master, let me be a teacher of men, leading them onward and upward until they, too are lights among men; freed from the veil of the night that surrounds them, flaming with light that shall shine among men.
Spoke to me then the voice;
Go, as ye will, of your destiny, free to take or reject at will, take ye the power, take ye the wisdom, shine as a light among the children of men.
Thoth has chosen his assignment, and since Thoth is also Melchizedek this very popular personality mentioned in the Old Testament and the New Testament as well (read or listen to several of my articles The Enigma of Melchizedek, the Cave of Ages). This unique personality was a teacher to Abraham, King David, King Solomon, and probably all of the rest of prophets, since it was recorded historically that they all had an encounter with at once stage of their lives.
Upward then, led me the Dweller,
Dwelt I again among the children of men
Reaching and showing some of my wisdom
Sun of the Light, a fire among men,
Now again I tread the path downward
Seeking the light in the darkness of night
Bold ye and keep ye, preserve my record
Guide shall it be to the children of men
This is a clear message from the past of humanity to those who will to listen and those who will to heed.
Enjoy
