The mind-expanding wisdom of the Emerald Tablet, simplified! 

The Emerald Tablet is an Ancient Egyptian work written by Hermes Trismegistus that is believed to represent a step-by-step instruction manual for the Alchemical process of turning ordinary metals like lead into something much more valuable, like gold.

The manual consists of fourteen cryptic, symbolic statements that many have tried to decipher over the course of thousands of years. 

I believe the fourteen statements of the Emerald Tablet to be a symbolic guide to a far greater treasure than the conversion of lead into gold. I believe it to be, instead, a symbolic guide to the awakening of the human soul. I believe it to be a guide to the conversion of a base and petty human being into an awakened soul, the likes of which we have seen in the Jesuses and the Buddhas of our world. 

In the Christian Bible, it is said that Adam fell into a deep sleep. Nowhere in that Bible does it say that he woke back up. The purpose of the Emerald Tablet, I believe, is that very awakening.

I began my journey into the ideas of the ancient Egyptians years ago while trying to study alchemy. At that time, the Emerald Tablet was a curiosity, but I made very little headway into the deeper meanings. Later, I studied the Hermetica and eventually the Kybalion and discovered that I really liked the philosophy of those teachings. I saw in the ancient Egyptian teachings both sides of the religious and spiritual thought that seem to make up our modern religions: the idea of a diety as found in Christianity and other western religions, but also the idea of awakening as in the Zen and Buddhist type traditions. For me this Egyptian philosophy has been the perfect merger, and maybe the original root, of these two sides of spiritual, philosophical and religious thought.
