Thoth-the-Atlantean —The Emerald Tablets“I began preaching to people the beauty of religion and knowledge.“O people, men born on the Earth, who indulge in drunkenness, sleep,and the ignorance of God! Sober up, cease your surfeit, awake from yourdullness!“Why do you give up yourselves to death while you have power topartake of immortality?“Depart from the dark path, be partakers of immortality, abandonforever your vices!“Nowhere but in God can you find good!”(From Hermes’1 address to the Egyptians)Atlantis was an archipelago consisting of two large islands situatedin the Atlantic Ocean near the Mediterranean Sea. There existed a highly developed civilization of the Atlanteans. The most important pointabout this civilization is that it possessed the true religious-philosophicalknowledge, which allowed many people to advance quickly in their development — up to the Divine level — and accomplish thus their personalhuman evolution.However, with time Atlantis’ spiritual culture degraded, and as aresult the power in the country was taken over by aggressive people, whopreferred black magic and domination over others rather than the prinHermes Trismegistus is the name of Thoth-the-Atlantean in His next incarnation inEgypt.19

ciple of the true spiritual development. Then God made the islands ofAtlantis sink into the ocean.But the higher spiritual knowledge was preserved by some Atlanteans, Who achieved Divinity. They brought it into Egypt and other countries, where this knowledge existed for some time providing a basis forthe local spiritual culture.About the Emerald Tablets2In the Emerald Tablets, Thoth-the-Atlantean explains the reason forthe destruction of Atlantis: confidential knowledge was imparted to unworthy people and the latter began using it for evil purposes. They adopted also bloody sacrifices — and this resulted in numerous incarnationsof hellish beings among people.When the destruction of Atlantis happened (two islands submergedinto the ocean one after another according to the Divine Will), Thoth-theAtlantean moved to Egypt (Khem) with a group of other Divine Atlanteans.The Primordial3 advised Thoth thus: “Go forth as a Teacher of men!Go forth preserving the records (with Teachings) until in time the Lightgrows among men!“Light4 shall You be all through the ages, hidden yet found by enlightened men.“For working on all the Earth, give We You power, free You to give itto others or take it away.”And then Thoth worked as a Representative of the Primordial. Thoth relates that He went the entire Path to Mergence with thePrimordial. He writes that anyone can traverse this Path. The Path necessarily contains obstacles, which create difficulties for travelers: these difficulties prevent weak, ethically unworthy, or intellectually immature peopleThis chapter presents a selection of excerpts (compiled and edited by Dr.V.Antonov)from the book of Divine Thoth-the-Atlantean discovered by Dr.M.Doreal in his expedition to the pyramids in South America.3The Primordial Consciousness, the Creator, God-the-Father, Jehovah, Allah, Tao,Svarog, and other names used in different languages — all these are synonyms.4Light is not a symbol but a real state of the Divine Consciousness.210

from going further. “Go! But do not take with you the unwise, insincere,weak!” says Thoth.Thoth gives basic recommendations for initial harmonization of thechakra system. For fulfilling just these recommendations He promiseshealth and longevity. 5On the higher stages of meditative practices (i.e. on the stage of Buddhi Yoga), one has to dive with the consciousness into the Depths of themultidimensional space and cognize there “star worlds” and the Light ofthe Great Fire on the Path to the Abode of the Primordial6. There are alsoother spatial dimensions, which are “vacant to all seeming, yet hiddenwithin them are the keys ”7Thoth also explains one of the higher meditations — the Temple andits particular variation — the Pyramid.ing:About the history of His own spiritual ascent Thoth says the follow-“Once in a time long forgotten, I, Thoth, opened the doorway, penetrated into other spaces and learned of the secrets concealed.“Often did I journey down the dark pathway unto the space wherethe Light ever glows.“Long then dwelt I in the Temple of the Primordial until at last I wasOne with the Light.”Later Thoth incarnated again in Egypt as Hermes Trismegistus (Thriceborn)8.***Thoth gives the following directions to spiritual seekers:Preserve and keep the command of the Primordial One:See information about the chakras and methods of working with them in [6].The Primordial Consciousness; synonyms: the Creator, God-the-Father, Jehovah,Allah, Tao, Svarog and other terms in different languages.7Th
