THE EM ERALD TA B LETS of

THOTH THE ATLANTEANBy

DR. M. DOREAL

When the time came for Thotb to leave Egypt, he erected the Great Pyramid over the entrance to the Great Halls of Amenti, placed in it his records and certain mechanical devices. He then ap­pointed from among the highest of his people, guards to protect his mighty se­crets. In later times, the descendants of these guards became the Pyramid Priests while Thoth was deified as the God of Wisdom, the P.ecorder, by those in the age of darkness which followed his pass- ing. In legend, the Halls of Amenti be­came the Under-world, the Halls of the Gods where the soul passed after death for judgment. During later ages the ego of Thoth passed into the bodies of men in the manner described in the Tablets. As such he incarnated three times, and in his last incarnation he was known as Hermes, the Thrice-born.

The Brotherhood publications has produced a most attractive bidding of Dr, Boreal1s translation with a cover design of the original Tablets. The de­mand for this book on the Atlandear: Mys­teries has been so great that it is in its eleventh edition,

Color, in the ancient world, was a very mysterious thing for color as we know it today was not present. The most ancient records show that distinction of color is of very recent date. Max Muller says, "It is well known that the dis­tinction of color is of recent date; that Xenophanes knew only three colors of the rainbow: purple, red and yellow and that Aristotle speaks of the tri-colored rain­bow; that Democritus knew of no more than four colors: black, white, red, and yel­low." Geiger says, "that fifteen or twenty thousand years ago, man was con­scious of only one color. He could not distinguish any difference in coloration between sky, trees, grass, earth or any­thing else. He could only distinguish light from darkness."

Pictet finds no name for color in early Indo-European language, and Max Muller finds no Sanskrit root-word for any reference to color.

Nowhere in the Bible, Rig-Veda, Zend-Avesta or the Homeric poems do we find the color of the sky mentioned. The Rig-Veda and Zend-Avesta are both largely taken up with descriptions of the sky and heavenly bodies; yet nowhere is there

any mention o f the c o lo r of th e sky. In the Bible the sky and heavens are men­tioned more than four hundred tim es, and y e t th ere is no mention o f the c o lo r of the sky.

In Greece and A sia Minor, where the poems of Homer were composed, the sky is the most b e a u tifu l blue of any place upon e a rth ; y e t nowhere in the poems of Homer do we find the co lo r of the sky men­tion ed .

Etymology proves th a t the word 'blue' is descended from the an cien t word, 'b la c k ’ . The Chinese word, ’H i-u -an ’ , which now means 5 sk y -b lu e5, form erly meant 'b la c k '. The word ' n i l ' , which in P ersian and Arabic means 'b l u e ', is de­riv ed from the name, 'M ile ', which means the 'b lack r i v e r ' . I t is hard ly p ossib le th a t a t a time when man recognized only two co lo rs which they c a lle d red and b lack , th a t th ese appeared to them as

Under red they included white and yellow and th e ir in term ed iate t i n t s , while under b lack they included a l l shades of green and b lu e . As sen sation s of red and black came in to e x is te n ce by the d iv isio n s of the o r ig in a l u n ita l c o lo r se n sa tio n , in process i f time th ese d ivid ed ; f i r s t red divided in to re d -y e l­low, then th a t red in to red -w h ite . Black divided in to b lack -g reen , then to b lack - b lu e, and during the l a s t th ree thousand y e a r s , these have s p l i t in to the enormous number of shades of color we now p erceiv e and name.

Ability to perceive many color-shades indicates high development of the ego for the source of three-dimensional colors is in higher dimensions.

In h i s t o r i c a l an cien t tim es the ego had not reached the s ta te where i t could re ce iv e the l ig h t which f i l te r e d through from oth er p lan es . The f i r s t mention of the opening o f th is sense in man was the bow or rainbow of God placed in the sky, as a sign to Noah th a t the world had be­come p u rified and th a t c o lo r , the emana­tio n of a s t r a l or c e l e s t i a l l i g h t , could now p en etra te the l i t e r a l darkness of the m a te ria l p lan e . The an cien ts who were able to p erceiv e c o lo r were those who had l i f t e d th e ir consciousness from the le v e l of th e ir fe llo w s, and th is power was in those days looked upon in much the same l ig h t th a t c la irv o y an ce or o c c u lt powers a re today. For th a t reason those who had th a t power never made r e f ­erence to co lo r in connection with God, the Heavens, or oth er things p erta in in g to higher p lan es. U n til the power of p ercep tion is expanded, man can never see th e g re a te r and more v ib ran t co lo rs which a re an in te g ra l p a rt of the c e l e s t i a l harm onics. Thus in an cien t days the man who was able to p erceiv e c o lo r was more c lo s e ly attuned to God than h is fellow s and l i t e r a l l y heard unspeakable words th a t he could not u t te r to h is fellow s who lacked h is sense of color p ercep tio n .

In the f a r p a s t , (and by th is I mean be­fo re h i s t o r i c tim es) in oth er c y c le s , man a tta in e d the f u l l v is io n of c o lo r , and in gaining i t a lso gained the power to look in to o th er planes and dimensions which were p en etrated by the variou s co lo r-en erg y waves.

In the g r e a te r , Macrocosmic World th ere a re waves of l ig h t and c o lo r , un­imaginable in the f i n i t e W orld,and these a re glimpsed as c e l e s t i a l harmonics by the enlightened soul which is ab le to p en etra te to the v a s te r realm where God, the Cosmic Consciousness m an ifests as L ig h t.

In a l l g re a t an cien t r e lig io n s and p h ilo so p h ies, God was symbolized as L ig h t, and a l l emanations from the Supreme Source were in the form of L ig h t. Ac­cording to a n c ie n t, s e c r e t teach in g , handed down by word of mouth, th ere were th ree g re a t primary c o lo rs through which God f i r s t m anifested in the m a te ria l world and th ese were yellow , blue and re d . The co lo r ’b la ck ’ was a lread y inthe space in which worlds were c re a te d and i t was upon th is black lig h t or c o lo r th a t the primary c o lo rs from the Macro- cosmic World played to produce c r e a t io n .
