The Emerald Tablet (Tabula Smaragdina)
"THE SECRET WORKS OF CHURAM TELAT MACHASOT (HERMES
TRISMEGISTUS)"
(Literally: "The Secret Works of Hermes Trismegistus the Three-In-One Who Hides His One Essential Nature in Three places of Safekeeping or Modes of Expression)
"It is true, no lie, certain, and to be depended upon, the superior agrees with the inferior,and the inferior with the superior [i.e., As above, so below], to effect that one truly wonderful work.
"As all things owe their existence to the will of the ONLY ONE, so all things owe their origin to THE ONE ONLY THING, the most hidden, by the arrangement of the ONLY GOD. The Father of that ONE ONLY THING is the Sun, its Mother is the Moon, the Wind carries It in its belly; but Its Nurse is a Spirituous Earth. That ONE ONLY THING (after the ONE LIFE) is the Father of all (wonderful) things in the Universe. Its power is perfect, after It has been united to that Spirituous Earth.
"Separate that Spirituous Earth from the dense or crude by means of a gentle heat with much attention. "In great measure it ascends from the Earth up to Heaven, and descends again, newborn, on the Earth, and the superior and the inferior are increased in power.
"By this thou wilt partake of the honors of the whole world. And darkness will fly from thee. This is the strength of all powers. With this thou wilt be able to overcome all things, and to transmute all what is fine and all what is coarse.
"In this manner the world was created; the arrangements to follow this road are hidden. For this reason I am called CHuRaM Telat Machasot, One in Essence, but Three in Aspect. In this Trinity is hidden the wisdom of the whole world.
"It is ended now, what I have said concerning the Work of the Sun. Finish of the Tabula Smaragdina."
