The Seven Lords
Welcome back to all of our readers and thank you for your wonderful response and comments on our Deciphering attempt of the Emerald tablets the source of profound and divine wisdom which represents the very foundation of spirituality development of human species ever since the dawn of man.
Thoth began with:
Hark ye O man, and list to my Voice.
Open thy mind-space and drink of my wisdom.
What did he mean by opening thy mind-space, As intriguing as he always is his wisdom exceeds far beyond our cognitive potentials unless we follow his guidelines and look beyond words with a third eye tool so that we may grasp his wisdom.
Our minds are without boundaries and the only limits that stand between us and our comprehension of the purpose of existence is our recognition of the role of this purpose which is servitude, Servitude and surrender to the order of the multi-verse and the laws and canons of creation.
By opening our space mind we would be enabling our consciousness to unite with the ultimate consciousness that surrounds all of our spheres and dimensions be it visible or that which is not visible or perceived by our physical awareness, such as that of space/time of different dimensions and parallel worlds existing within our own world.
Dark is the pathway of LIFE that ye travel.
Many the pitfalls that lie in thy way…
Seek ye ever to gain greater wisdom.
Attain and it shall be light on thy way.
Open thy SOUL, O man, to the Cosmic
and let it flow in as one with thy SOUL.
LIGHT is eternal and darkness is fleeting.
Seek ye ever, O man, for the LIGHT.
Know ye that ever as Light fills thy being,
darkness for thee shall soon disappear.
The source or man’s darkness originates from within him and his desires to attach his existence to the fetters of life which is the cause of man’s ill behavior and strife, such misleading fetters clouds our judgment and drifts us away from the enlightened path meant to guide our souls towards the eternal light and unite us with the ultimate Soul energy of our Creator.
Open thy souls to the BROTHERS OF BRIGHTNESS.
Let them enter and fill thee with LIGHT.
Lift up thine eyes to the LIGHT of the Cosmos.
Unless we empty the mind from the dark and negative forces our minds will not have any empty space for positive forces to fill in the vacancy and eventually vacuums out the darkness from our consciousness and cleanse our Soul energy which is the source of all Life to all beings and all entities be within our world or any other…
Keep thou ever thy face to the goal.
Only by gaining the light of all wisdom,
art thou one with the Infinite goal.
Seek ye ever the Oneness eternal.
Seek ever the Light into One.
By keeping our faces directed to the goals we are simply applying the first law of self-improvement and our self- improvement is the sole purpose of our Creator and the very reason behind sending us messages and messengers and prophets starting with Adam the father of our Kind and this is the infinite goal that leads to the Oneness with the eternal light of the Creator.
How do we keep our faces to our goal; we clear our intentions and persist in our pursuit of righteousness and avoid hesitation and deviation from our intended path of enlightenment drawn to all of us by prophets and ancients wisdom of holy books and ancient scripts provided to man by the divine forces that surrounds our existence with mercy and love and lots of clemency to drive our repentance and our commitment to the goal of self-improvement.
Hear ye, O man, list to my Voice
singing the song of Light and of Life.
Throughout all space, Light is prevalent,
encompassing ALL with its banners of flames.
Seek ye forever in the veil of the darkness,
somewhere ye shall surely find Light.
Hidden and buried, lost to man’s knowledge,
deep in the finite the Infinite exists.
Lost, but existing,
flowing through all things,
living in ALL is the INFINITE BRAIN.
The infinite Brain is the divine and infinite consciousness that is repeatedly referred to in the Emerald Tablets.
This consciousness exists within our universe and the multi-verse and it contains the preserved board which is referred to in Holy Quran as Al Lawh al Mahfouze (اللوح المحفوظ) or what is better known to the western culture as the Akashic Records, Akasha means Ether space in ancient Sanskrit language, in it imprinted the divine wisdom and knowledge related to all creation of every single beings with a life flow in his form in every space time and every dimension visible or invisible within all realities that we are aware or unaware of since the first big bang of creation and by saying first I adhere to the belief of many other big bangs for every universe that exist in our multi-verse Cosmos…
In all space, there is only ONE wisdom.
Through seeming decided, it is ONE in the ONE.
All that exists comes forth from the LIGHT,
and the LIGHT comes forth from the ALL.
Everything created is based upon ORDER:
LAW rules the space where the INFINITE dwells.
Forth from equilibrium came the great cycles,
moving in harmony toward Infinity’s end.
Order is the motion of creation and the Law is what keeps creation in order, Equilibrium is the essence of perfection, we refer to it as the balance of things which is also referred to in the Holy Quran in Surat Al Rahman 55 verse 7; “(وَٱلسَّمَآءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ ٱلۡمِيزَانَ (٧ – And the sky He hath uplifted; and He hath set the measure, (7) “.
The measure is intended to be the Balance. Note that the verse number is also Seven…
Know ye, O man, that far in the space-time,
INFINITY itself shall pass into change.
Hear ye and list to the Voice of Wisdom:
Know that ALL is of ALL evermore.
Know that through time thou may pursue wisdom
and find ever more light on the way.
Know that through time thou may pursue wisdom
and find ever more light on the way.
Aye, thou shall find that ever receding,
thy goal shall elude thee from day unto day.
Infinity itself shall pass into change, because infinity will eventually reach to its expiration towards eternity and once it reaches eternity it will become finite by overcoming and surpassing the space –time factor. In short; infinity becomes finite when it reaches eternity where time does not apply…
Long time ago, in the HALLS OF AMENTI,
I, Thoth, stood before the LORDS of the cycles.
Mighty, THEY in their aspects of power;
mighty, THEY in the wisdom unveiled.
Led by the Dweller, first did I see them.
But afterwards free was I of their presence,
free to enter their conclave at will.
Oft did I journey down the dark pathway
unto the HALL where the LIGHT ever glows.
The seven lords presides over the seven gates of consciousness or in a laymen term the seven skies or seven heavens. We know from the story of Muhammad ascension to meet with God lead by and escorted by arch angel Gabriel, that beyond the seven skies lies a place called in Arabic سدرة المنتهى Sidrat al Muntaha which means metaphorically in English a Lote tree that marks the end of the seventh heaven and the beginning of the realm of Eternity and the Throne of God, the boundary where no creation can pass, according to Islamic beliefs, where time does not apply, it is a space of no space…
Surah An-Najm And verily he saw him yet another time (13) By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary, (14) سُوۡرَةُ النّجْم وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ (١٣) عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ (١٤).
Learned I of the Masters of cycles,
wisdom brought from the cycles above.
Manifest THEY in this cycle
as guides of man to the knowledge of ALL.
Seven are they, mighty in power,
speaking these words through me to men.
Time after time, stood I before them
listening to words that came not with sound.
I would like to consider the cycles in the Emerald tablets to represent time thus reality, therefore the wisdom referred to above is a wisdom from another reality brought down by the masters of cycles “realities“ to our reality.
Such wisdom which came not with sound meaning was not conveyed vocally but rather telepathically through the consciousness of mind as thoughts…
Once said THEY unto me:
O man, wouldst thou gain wisdom?
Seek for it in the heart of the flame.
Wouldst thou gain knowledge of power?
Seek ye it in the heart of the flame.
Wouldst be one with the heart of the flame?
Seek then within thine own hidden flame.
The flame is a flame of eternal light and not a flame of fire, while thine light is the light from within which is the light embedded within the structure of our Souls.
Many the times spoke THEY to me,
teaching me wisdom not of the world;
showing me ever new paths to brightness;
teaching me wisdom brought from above.
Giving knowledge of operation,
learning of LAW, the order of ALL.
Spoke to me again, the Seven, saying:
From far beyond time are WE, come, O man,
Traveled WE from beyond SPACE-TIME,
aye, from the place of Infinity’s end.
When ye and all of thy brethren were formless,
formed forth were WE from the order of ALL.
Not as men are WE,
though once WE, too, were as men.
Out of the Great Void were WE formed forth
in order by LAW.
For know ye that which is formed
truly is formless, having form only to thine eyes.
This is an important reference to our very spiritual nature and the very origin of our Soul formation. Our origin is Soul or the energy of all Life. And by saying they also once where as men they meant that they did passed through an inevitable phase of metamorphosis, a stage of transformation from a primitive to a more advanced form of life in a process of recycling of energy in a purification process to cleanse whatever pollution contaminates their souls through the journey of evolution.
Such form is related to the category of Angels which is the highest Rank creatures can attain.
Angels are of pure light substance, however, some angels are angels by birth, others are by attainment and through evolution process, if we follow the path of enlightenment we too may at one stage reach the angelic level if we earn it.
Spirits of beings becomes souls when it is separated and detached from the physical form it occupies which is the living body of beings.
And again, unto me spoke the Seven, saying:
Child of the LIGHT, O THOTH, art thou,
free to travel the bright path upward
until at last ALL ONES become ONE
Child of the Light referrers to being driven by the Soul and to be able to travel the bright path upward one needs to free oneself from the fetters of life and surrender to the canons of servitude which is the reason of our creation, self-improvement is the Key as previously mentioned.
Forth were WE formed after our order:
THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT–NINE.
Know ye that these are the numbers of cycles
that WE descend from unto man.
Each having here a duty to fulfill;
each having here a force to control.
Yet are we ONE with the SOUL of our cycle.
Yet are WE, too, seeking a goal.
Far beyond man’s conception,
Infinity extends into a greater than ALL.
There, in a time that is yet not a time,
we shall ALL become ONE
with a greater than ALL.
Time and space are moving in circles.
Know ye their law, and ye too, shall be free.
Aye, free shall ye be to move through the cycles–
pass the guardians that dwell at the door.
We will realize from this passage that they too, the lords of the cycles are born for servitude to the purpose they were created for.
And one could not help asking why they starting their numbering from Three up to nine, what happened to the one and two!
Well, this will lead us back to the Sidrat al Muntaha mentioned above. As said; sidrat al muntaha contains the Throne of God where no other being may dwell or exist by the presence of God, however there is only one category of angels that are permitted to coexist within the Sidrat al Muntaha and they are the bearers or the angels that carries the Throne of God. As also referred to them in the Holy Quran as Hamalt al Arsh;
This probably makes them number two in order to number one which is God the Creator of All.
Hamalat al-‘Arsh are the angels carrying the arsh (throne) mentioned in the following ayah:
“Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of Allah) and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah) (saying): “Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the torment of the blazing Fire!” (Surah al Mu’min, 7)
“And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.” (Surah al Haqqah, 17)
Then to me spoke HE of NINE saying:
Aeons and aeons have I existed,
knowing not LIFE and tasting not death.
For know ye. O man, that far in the future,
life and death shall be one with the ALL.
I personally would like to believe that number nine would most probably be arch angel Gabriel since he was the one in charge of conveying the word of God to mankind.
In the Holy Quran it again elaborates further on the subject of Life and Death by the following verses from Surat Al Mulk.
سُوۡرَةُ المُلک
بَـٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ قَدِيرٌ (١) ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ أَيُّكُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ عَمَلاً۬ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡغَفُورُ (٢)ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمَـٰوَٲتٍ۬ طِبَاقً۬اۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلۡقِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ مِن تَفَـٰوُتٍ۬ۖ فَٱرۡجِعِ ٱلۡبَصَرَ هَلۡ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍ۬ (٣)
Surah Al-Mulk Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things. (1) Who hath created life and death that He may try you which of you is best in conduct; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving, (2)Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One’s creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts? (3).
We notice here that it was conveyed to us that Life and Death were created just like other things were that would leads to the conclusion that life and death are not the beginning and end but rather the means to get to the finale end which would be Eternity and unity with the One, the Creator of all.
Each so perfected by balancing the other
that neither exists in the Oneness of ALL.
In men of this cycle, the life force is rampant,
but life in its growth becomes one with them ALL.
Again all is created with balance to keep it in order.
Here, I manifest in this your cycle,
but yet am I there in your future of time.
Yet to me, time exists not,
for in my world time exists not,
for formless are WE.
Life have WE not but yet have existence,
fuller and greater and freer than thee.
In this paragraph we notice that the non existence of time is in fact Eternity.
Man is a flame bound to a mountain,
but WE in our cycle shall ever be free.
Know ye, O man, that when ye have progressed
into the cycle that lengthen above,
life itself will pass to the darkness
and only the essence of Soul shall remain.
The soul which is the living force that drives us was created long before it occupied our physical bodies which it was assigned to live within therefore granting it the life form that we are all familiar with.
The physical body withers while the soul remains eternal.
Then to me spoke the LORD of the EIGHT saying:
All that ye know is but part of little.
Not as yet have ye touched on the Great.
Far out in space where LIGHT beings supreme,
came I into the LIGHT.
Formed was I also but not as ye are.
Body of Light was my formless form formed.
Know I not LIFE and know I not DEATH,
yet master am I of all that exists.
Seek ye to find the path through the barriers.
Travel the road that leads to the LIGHT.
Spoke again to me the NINE saying:
Seek ye to find the path to beyond.
Not impossible is it to grow
to a consciousness above.
For when TWO have become ONE
and ONE has become the ALL,
know ye the barrier has lifted,
and ye are made free of the road.
Grow thou from form to the formless.
Free may thou be of the road.
When two have become one, that means when our physical bodies exist no more in its physical form yet our spirit detach and becomes soul that soul carries within it the good that is of enlightened nature and units with the source of its energy and the source of its origin, its Creator the primal Soul and the origin of All. Once this is succumbed to the Laws of creation and its balance freedom shall be achieved.
Thus, through ages I listened,
learning the way to the ALL.
Now Lift I my thoughts to the ALL-THING.
List ye and hear when it calls.
O LIGHT, all prevailing,
One with ALL and ALL with ONE,
flow thou to me through the channel.
Enter thou so that I may be free.
Make me One with the ALL-SOUL,
shining from the blackness of night.
Free let me be of all space-time,
free from the Veil of the night.
I, a child of LIGHT, command:
Free from the darkness to be.
Formless am I to the Light-Soul,
formless yet shining with light.
Know I the bonds of the darkness
must shatter and fall before light.
Now give I this wisdom.
Free may ye be, O man,
living in light and in brightness.
Turn not they face from the Light.
Thy soul dwells in realms of brightness.
Ye are a child of the Light.
Turn thy thoughts inward not outward.
Find thou the Light-Soul within.
Know that thou art the MASTER.
All else is brought from within.
Grow thou to realms of brightness.
Hold thou thy thought on the Light.
Know thou art one with the Cosmos,
a flame and a Child of the Light.
This is a clear indication to the source of self-improvement and advancement towards the final transformation in the afterlife..
By looking within we progress upwards towards the eternal light that is the only way…
Now to thee gave I warning:
Let not the thought turn away.
Know that the brightness
flows through thy body for aye.
Turn not to the DARK-BROTHERS
that come from the BROTHERS OF BLACK.
But keep thine eyes ever lifted,
thy soul in tune with the Light.
It is crucial we persevere and persist in our struggle towards enlightenment away from the dark brothers forces which are also within us. Though, such forces have a separate origin yet it coexist with us side by side from the day we are born till we die, it is referred to by the ancient Egyptians as the KA and in Arabic the Qarine, which stands for an invisible being known to play a major role in eluding man from the path of enlightenment.
In Arabic culture the Qarine or KA is of Jinn origin, Jinn in Arabic stands for an invisible entity or being or Aliens in western culture.
There is also a reference for such forces in the Holy Quran, infact, there is a whole surat dedicated to elaborate about them and it is the Surat al Jinn you will find it very interesting to read if you are interested to know more about what in western culture are called Aliens. There are many interpretations of the Quran in different languages including English.
As for the Karin here is some of what is mentioned in the Quran about them.
Surat Fussilat verse 25: وَقَيَّضۡنَا لَهُمۡ قُرَنَآءَ فَزَيَّنُواْ لَهُم مَّا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيہِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ فِىٓ أُمَمٍ۬ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ خَـٰسِرِينَ (٢٥) And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Verily they were ever losers. (25) and another verse in Surat al Zukhruf verse 36; وَمَن يَعۡشُ عَن ذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ نُقَيِّضۡ لَهُ ۥ شَيۡطَـٰنً۬ا فَهُوَ لَهُ ۥ قَرِينٌ۬ (٣٦ — And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade; (36)
I am not aware if there are any similar references in other Holy books such as the Old and the New Testament or any other ancient texts but we would very much appreciate the public assistance in this matter.
Take ye this wisdom and heed it.
List to my Voice and obey.
Follow the pathway to brightness,
and thou shall be ONE with the way.
The only phrase that remains for me to conclude this deciphering is an invitation to all of us to heed the warning of Thoth and follow his wisdom.
Till our next deciphering I bid all of thee good health, prosperity and inner peace.
Enjoy
Adam El Masri
