Appendix One<br />

The Emerald Tablet<br />

Without lie, certain and most true:<br />

What is below is like what is above, and what is above is like what is below, to<br />

accomplish the miracle of the One thing.<br />

In truth, and without Lie, And just as all things have been from the one, so also<br />

they are born from this one thing by adaptation.<br />

Its father is the sun, its mother the moon. The wind has borne it, its nurse is the<br />

earth. This one thing is the father of all things in the universe.<br />

Its power is perfect, after it has been united with the earth.<br />

Separate earth from fire, the subtle from the dense, with gentle heat and much<br />

devotion.<br />

In great measure, it ascends from earth to heaven, descends again toward earth,<br />

and receives the force of the things above and below.<br />

Thus you will possess the glory of the world, all obscurity shall flee away from<br />

thee.<br />

This is the force of all force, it will overcome everything subtle, and penetrate<br />

everything solid.<br />

In this manner, the world was created, but the map of this road is hidden.<br />

For this reason I am called "Hiram Telat Machasot"- one in essence, but three in<br />

aspect. In this trinity is the wisdom of the whole world.<br />

And so I have been called: Hermes thrice greatest, having the three parts of the<br />

philosophy of the world.<br />
