"The Emerald Tablets of Thoth": A Lovecraftian Plagiarism

3/26/2014

57 Comments

 
Yesterday I talked a bit about the Shaver Mystery, the 1945 hoax in which writer Richard S. Shaver claimed that he had descended under the earth, encountered a fantastically ancient race possessed of high technology, and reported the shocking truth only under the guise of fiction. In reality, of course, the hoax was the joint work of Shaver, a former mental patient, and Amazing Stories editor Ray Palmer (who wrote more than two-thirds of the Shaver material and soon after started Fate magazine, the nonfiction title that launched the Kenneth Arnold UFO claims), but I didn’t know when I discussed this yesterday was the debt that Palmer and Shaver owed to H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard, whose tales of lost civilizations and underground races (cf. Lovecraft and Heald, “The Mound,” or Lovecraft, Shadow Out of Time) were the direct predecessors of Shaver’s, mitigating and transmitting earlier claims from sources like Bulwer-Lytton’s Coming Race, Frederick S. Oliver’s Dweller on Two Planets, and various hollow earth theories from the Victorian era. From Lovecraft, too, we see echoes in the idea that the ancient people were a space-faring race and that the Elder Race (his words: cf. Lovecraft’s Elder Things, Ancient Ones, and Old Ones) would return from the stars.
In discussing this with Jeb J. Card yesterday, Card pointed me toward facts I was not aware of but which help to confirm the important role the Lovecraft Mythos played in the development of fringe history and ufology. Card told me about the Lovecraftian influence on the neo-Theosophist Maurice Doreal (Claude Doggins), the author of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, often cited in fringe literature as genuine ancient texts from Atlantis. From Dweller on Two Planets Doreal incorporated into his vision of the cosmos the alleged lost civilization hiding out beneath Mount Shasta in California, and he adopted the Shaver Mystery as part of his own burgeoning mythos as the 1940s progressed and Palmer began recommending Doreal’s work to Shaver fans.

Doreal wrote a pamphlet called “Mysteries of the Gobi” about an underground race beneath that desert, and I wonder if that wasn’t a source for some of Peter Kolosimo’s Gobi claims. I’ve never read it, so I don’t know. What I do know is that Doreal’s claims were explicitly Lovecraftian. His underground race were serpent people, and they were ancient aliens from another world—essentially Robert E. Howard’s serpent people. Both shared the same description: humans with snake heads. In a later pamphlet, “UFOs: An Occult Perspective” (1948), they were asserted to be primeval and entombed under the earth in suspended animation—just like the reptilians of “The Nameless City,” which Lovecraft wrote in 1921 but which Doreal would have read in Fanciful Tales in 1936 or Weird Tales in 1938. Doreal appropriated from Howard the idea that the snake men masquerade as humans and have taken positions of power in human society.

But even more interesting is Doreal’s more or less explicit plagiarism of Lovecraft in Emerald Tablets, in which he has reimagined the serpent race in terms Lovecraft associated with the Old Ones, apparently equating the two groups in a way Lovecraft only occasionally and partially implied. I had never read these tablets in their entirety because, frankly, they are fakes so I never had any incentive to read so much drivel. It turns out that they contain some very interesting evidence.

Although Doreal claims that he found and translated these tablets—named for the ninth-century Hermetic text to which it bears little resemblance—in the Great Pyramid of Giza in 1925, this is an almost certain fiction, and the “translations” weren’t published until the late 1930s or 1940s. I want to take a look at a passage from Tablet 8 side-by-side with the parallel text from the Necronomicon fragment given in “The Dunwich Horror” and the Cthulhu theogony in “Call of Cthulhu” to show the textual dependency of Doreal on Lovecraft. The passage begins with a paraphrase of Old Castro’s claims from “The Call of Cthulhu,” rendering the Old Ones as “children of shadow” but preserving the claim that they are to be found under the earth. From there, he plagiarizes “Dunwich,” but almost certainly from the version given by August Derleth in The Lurker at the Threshold, which alters the text in small but significant ways, emphasizing the punishment of the Old Ones by his Elder Gods. It is Derleth’s version of Lovecraft that informs Doreal, though Doreal has inverted the relationship between the Old Ones and their human servants, subordinating the supernatural to the mortal.
EMERALD TABLETS
Far in the past before Atlantis existed,
men there were who delved into darkness,
using dark magic, calling up beings
from the great deep below us.
Forth came they into this cycle.
Formless were they of another vibration,
existing unseen by the children of earth-men.
LOVECRAFTIAN FICTION
Nor is it to be thought that man is either the oldest or the last of earth’s masters, or that the common bulk of life and substance walks alone. The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them, They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen. (Lovecraft, “Dunwich”)

These Great Old Ones, Castro continued, were not composed altogether of flesh and blood. They had shape - for did not this star-fashioned image prove it? - but that shape was not made of matter. (Lovecraft, “Cthulhu”)

“You will, of course, realize that all my stories, unconnected as they may be, are based on one fundamental lore or legend: that this world was inhabited at one time by another race, who in practicing black magic, lost their foothold and were expelled, yet live on outside, ever ready to take possession of this earth again.” (apocryphal quote attributed to Lovecraft in various printed sources by August Derleth after 1937, based on a letter from Harold Farnese)

Only through blood could they have formed being.
Only through man could they live in the world.

But at that time some force from outside must serve to liberate Their bodies […] the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. (Lovecraft, “Cthulhu”)

In ages past were they conquered by Masters,
driven below to the place whence they came.
But some there were who remained,
hidden in spaces and planes unknown to man.
Lived they in Atlantis as shadows,
but at times they appeared among men.
Aye, when the blood was offered,
for they came they to dwell among men.

In the form of man they amongst us,
but only to sight were they as are men.
Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted
but appearing to man as men among men.
Crept they into the Councils,
taking forms that were like unto men.
Slaying by their arts
the chiefs of the kingdoms,
taking their form and ruling o'er man.
Only by magic could they be discovered.
Only by sound could their faces be seen.
Sought they from the Kingdom of shadows
to destroy man and rule in his place.

But, know ye, the Masters were mighty in magic,
able to lift the Veil from the face of the serpent,
able to send him back to his place.
Came they to man and taught him the secret,
the WORD that only a man can pronounce.
Swift then they lifted the Veil from the serpent
and cast him forth from the place among men.

Their hand is at your throats, yet ye see Them not; and Their habitation is even one with your guarded threshold. Yog-Sothoth is the key to the gate, whereby the spheres meet. Man rules now where They ruled once; They shall soon rule where man rules now. After summer is winter, and after winter summer. They wait patient and potent, for here shall They reign again. (“Dunwich”)

To this we must add the paragraph that follows this in Lurker at the Threshold, written entirely by Derleth, which imposes the “Fall of Cthulhu” narrative where the Elder Gods defeat Cthulhu and the Old Ones, reflected in Doreal’s defeat of the shadow powers by the Masters:

’Twas done then as it had been promis’d aforetime, that He was tak’n by Those Whom He Defy’d, and thrust into ye Neth’rmost Deeps und’r ye Sea, and placed within ye barnacl’d Tower that is said to rise amidst ye great ruin that is ye Sunken City (R’lyeh), and seal’d within by ye Elder Sign, and, rag’d at Those who had imprison’d Him.

And from “Through the Gates of the Silver key”:

And while there are those who have dared to seek glimpses beyond the Veil, and to accept HIM as a Guide, they would have been more prudent had they avoided commerce with HIM; for it is written in the Book of Thoth how terrific is the price of a single glimpse. (Lovecraft, “Through”)
Yet, beware, the serpent still liveth
in a place that is open at times to the world.
Unseen they walk among thee
in places where the rites have been said.
Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth’s fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread. (“Dunwich”)
Again as time passes onward
shall they take the semblance of men.
By Their smell can men sometimes know Them near, but of Their semblance can no man know, saving only in the features of those They have begotten on mankind; and of those are there many sorts, differing in likeness from man’s truest eidolon to that shape without sight or substance which is Them.
Called may they be by the master
who knows the white or the black,
but only the white master may control
and bind them while in the flesh.

And at their coming again none shall dispute them and all shall be subject to them. Those who know of the gates shall be impelled to open the way for Them and shall serve Them as They desire, but those who open the way unwittingly shall know life but a brief while thereafter. (Derleth, Lurker)

Note the careful reversal Doreal imposed here, making humans masters over the subterranean powers.
It’s probably worth noting that in the passage quoted above from “Through the Gates of the Silver Key,” Lovecraft makes the Necronomicon refer to a semi-fictitious Book of Thoth (found in references in Ptolemaic texts to a book that allows for perception of the gods), which must in Doreal’s mind be identical with the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean.

You might say that all of this is a coincidence, but after this, Doreal goes on to plagiarize the Hounds of Tindalos from Frank Belknap Long’s 1929 short story of the same name in all their essential details, in a way that is unmistakeable:

List ye, O man,
to the depth of my wisdom.
Speak I of knowledge hidden from man.
Far have I been
on my journey through SPACE-TIME,
even to the end of space of this cycle.
Aye, glimpsed the HOUNDS of the Barrier,
lying in wait for he who would pass them.
In that space where time exists not,
faintly I sensed the guardians of cycles.
Move they only through angles.
Free are they not of the curved dimensions.

Strange and terrible
are the HOUNDS of the Barrier.
Follow they consciousness to the limits of space.
Think not to escape by entering your body,
for follow they fast the Soul through angles.
Only the circle will give ye protection,
save from the claws
of the DWELLERS IN ANGLES.
[Speaking in a trance in which the speaker travels space-time]: I watch the migrations from Atlantis. I watch the migrations from Lemuria. I see the elder races […] By simply straining I can see farther and farther back. Now I am going back through strange curves and angles. Angles and curves multiply about me. I perceive great segments of time through curves. There is curved time, and angular time. The beings that exist in angular time cannot enter curved time. It is very strange. […] But they (the Hounds) scented me. Men awake in them cosmic hungers. We have escaped, momentarily, from the foulness that rings them round. They thirst for that in us which is clean, which emerged from the deed without stain. […] The Hounds of Tindalos [can] only reach us through angles. We must eliminate all angles from this room. I shall plaster up all of the corners, all of the crevices. We must make this room resemble the interior of a sphere. (Long, “Hounds”)
I don’t think there’s any mistaking the dependence of Doreal on pulp fiction. How any ancient astronaut theorist or fringe historian could read this and not recognize the textual origins of the passage is beyond me, except through the relatively strong wall that kept science fiction and fantasy stories confined to a literary ghetto through the middle twentieth century.

But what we see here is proto-science fiction feeding into Theosophy, which in turn inspires Lovecraftian fiction before feeding back into neo-Theosophical fringe history and ufology. No wonder Helena Blavatsky chose the ouroboros as the symbol of Theosophy. The whole sci-fi fringe history complex is a closed loop.

I think I pointed out the Serpent Men connection in a comment earlier this year, but I didn't notice the rest. Can't say I'm surprised.

Another specific parallel to one of the Emerald Tablet passages above,

"But, know ye, the Masters were mighty in magic,
able to lift the Veil from the face of the serpent,
able to send him back to his place.
Came they to man and taught him the secret,
the WORD that only a man can pronounce.
Swift then they lifted the Veil from the serpent
and cast him forth from the place among men"

can be found in Howard's The Shadow Kingdom:

"No snake-man wears this"-
he indicated the dragon armlet--"nor can any say these words," and
again Kull heard the strange phrase; "Ka nama kaa lajerama."

Brule then says of the words, "none but a real man of men may speak them, whose jaws and mouth are shaped different from any other creature."

At least Doggins had the presence of mind to rearrange the phrasing a little bit in some of the plagiarism. It's slightly less word-for-word than some of the knockoffs I've seen.

I am now translating the words of THOTH the atlantean in simple english, so everyone can understand. I will publish the video in a few weeks.

Please, check it out, and the text of The Emerald Tablets of THoth will make sense. I am amazed, every day I working to translate.

I know it is real, becuase, a lot is criptical written, and off course has to do with Astral traveling, which is also real.

I write this to you, because when I am ready and publish, I would like to tell me what you think of the new simple text.

Off course if you want.

Here's something interesting - the reptilian mythology embraced by the likes of David Icke seems to have originated with the 1984-1985 TV series "V" - the creator/director was Kenneth Johnson.

Could this possibly have been the Kenneth Rayner Johnson who wrote "The Fulcanelli Phenomenon" ?

It would appear not.

One was born in 1942 and is billed as "... an American screenwriter, producer and director. He is known as the creator of the V science fiction franchise as well as The Bionic Woman (1976–78), The Incredible Hulk series (1977–82), and the TV adaptation (1989) of Alien Nation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Johnson_%28producer%29

The other "... was born in 1965 and became a Christian at the age of 12. He quickly realized there were differences in doctrine in various denominations and sought out to prove to himself the correct interpretation of these issues that divide Christians. After an intensive study of the first century church he sought to bring back the teaching of the disciples of the 12 apostles. He has authored numerous books and made ancient Jewish scrolls available to the English speaking world."

I appreciate your research. I've been unable to find other sources which show the similarities between Lovecraft's mythos and Sharpe's myhtos. Amazing Stories seems to have promoted the "Shaver Mysteries" as nonfiction to increase sales. Harlan Ellison claims that Shaver admitted that the "Shaver Mysteries" were pure fiction. However, Shaver claimed that he only said this because Ellison was harassing him.

I find this fascinating as a science fiction fan and as a ufologist but may I point out that stories of intelligent reptilian beings antedating mankind are found in many ancient mythologies, not just American pulp fiction? The mythology of India, the myths of the Hopi and Zuni tribes of North America as well as other sources all feature that kind of lore...perhaps you'd care to address that?

Yes lovecroft is absolutly a huge influence on modern esotheric. Funny thing is, he himself was pretty much influenced by the original emerald tablet myth. alchemical texts from the 8th century. of course they don't contain anything of the stuff modern authors talk about. even newton wrote a translation of them, because he was a fan of alchemy. all the stuff about indestructable matterials and such are a hoax. the tablets themself if they ever existed are gone since ages.
the original author proclaimed that he found the texts under a hermes statue in vault in the hands of a corpse sitting on a golden throne. but in fact it looks like they were made in arab. hint hint secret codecs from an old arab ->necronomicon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Tablet#The_tablet_text
all the transcendal effects of the tablets is borrowed from some totaly different tablets: the Jade Books in Heaven.

I recently read Lovecraft's "The Thing on the Doorstep and other Weird Stories," and happened to follow it up with "The Emerald Tablets of Thoth The Atlantean" by Doreal. Throughout the reading of the Tablets I had the notion that Lovecraft was inspired by them. By the time I read the 15th tablet, I had the sneaking suspicion that it was the other way around and that Doreal might be a suspicious "translat[er]". Then, when I could find no archeological information from respected sourced about the emerald tablets, it made it all the more suspicious.
Kudos to you for making it plain here!

If I had never went through the process I would be on the same side of the fence as this guy.
I would have read the emerald tablets and quipped "it's all myth! Fantasy! Fairy tales!
I was never baptised, never had any faith pushed on me. Grew up in rough circles in the western world, where any talk of such would be met with ridicule.
I started doing energy work a few years ago. Crystal energy healing and reiki and all such as.
I can tell you 100%, the emerald tablets are a guide to balance the body, heal all ailments and develop the spirit.
I say again. I would never have believed. Nor would I expect you to so easily change your opinion/belief system. It's just too far out there without the experience of seeing.
It took me a long time to accept it myself.
I forget in which tablet but he explains "to balance the body lay with head pointed south for 1 earth hour, with "YOUR ENERGY" focused in the lower body, then turn around to the north and focus "YOUR ENERGY" to the upper body." Or words similar.
This is the energy I use in healing sessions.
Any person who I've performed on will tell you it definitely works.
I believe calcium is the key, or lack of calcium will unlock the endocrine system and release you from the prison of your own mind. Along with deep breathing and silence of the mind.
I suffered onset food allergies when I started becoming sensitive to subtle energies.
I stopped eating dairy at my own will and ended up depleting myself of calcium.
In amongst broken bones and other related problems my glands started firing up and rapid healing started taking place.
Following other things in the tablets I can project my mind. I can give myself endorphin rushes at will. There's a long list of "magical mystical occult" talents, tricks and skills.
But you have to open the pineal gland to be able to see the true meaning in any esoteric texts.
And people will never see there is a whole other world within because they're too scared to open the mind.
So they will never EVER read these texts and receive the true message.
Quite sad really.

You do realize that there is only ONE tablet and it wasn't even written on an actual tablet? It dates back to around the 6th-8th century and was first found in an arabic book entitled "Kitāb sirr al-ḫalīqa". The "tablets" you speak of are nothing but a hoax "translated" by a man named Dr. Michael Doreal who was given "permission" by a group of "supernatural beings" called "The Great White Brotherhood" which was first mentioned by Helena P. Blavatsky and later by Aleister Crowley. Yeah good luck with that brother... I'll just stick to the ONE and ONLY emerald tablet (AKA the Smaragdine Table or Tabula Smaragdina) which speaks of the relationship of the micro and macrocosm. There could be some lessons to be learned in what you are reading (as with all fiction) but what you are reading is nothing more than a fictional novel. To anyone reading this do not confuse the real emerald tablet (which was translated by many people including Isaac Newton) with this story claiming to be written 38,000 years ago translated by some guy in 1925. Even in Doreal translations it says the connection between material man and spiritual man is intellectual man. So please, use your brain and realize that this is a work.

The mistake you are making is called syllogic. A cat has 4 legs. That dog has 4 legs therefore it's a cat. Ex-christians make the same mistake. Christianity is a complete farce therefore God does not exist. Why? Assume there is a transcendent all pervasive supreme being manifest in all things. Good karma good things. But to conclude that because of your new found spirituality that it's because of the emerald tablet (the real one by the way is about 16 lines of crap) is syllogic. (aka nonsense)

Imagine for a moment that a variety of alien races exist, some of which are reptilian as well as a terrestrial race of reptilians who evolved from the dinosaurs. And it's necessary to also imagine that the people in charge know this but they think we'd freak out if we also knew. And then, finally, the last assertion is that telepathy is not only real but it's possible to both direct this at someone and to do so in first-person perspective while imitating the recipient's own voice/dialect. The net result would be the ability to fake you into thinking that the sender's ideas are your own since we take this to be the voice of our conscience.

In this scenario there would be what we might see as "good guys" and "bad guys". Likewise, the good-guy aliens then might try to educate us--the clueless--to the reality of the world around us and to the existence of these bad-guy aliens. I would guess that they'd be frustrated that our own government wouldn't acknowledge their presence. As a result they'd then likely use any method possible to educate us, for example, by inspiring authors telepathically to write about these things.

So if it looks like author after author is writing about the same subject material over and over again, one could suggest that the good-guy aliens are literarily hitting us over the head with this material.

Its interesting you say this, Justin. I am coming to believe that the universe is far more strange than most people realize.
In my opinion, human imagination is not only informed by a timeless, universal consciousness, but actively participating in the manifestation of infinite realms of potential realities.
I have found so many of the thoughts, concepts, storylines, etc. of the sci fi and fantasy writers with whom I've resonated from my own youth, as well as stories that I myself have written, to be included in current themes and memes, not just in fiction, but emanating throughout current Reality.
Perhaps I've finally fallen off the deep end. Is anyone else in the community experiencing anything similar?

I am surprised that nobody mentioned how the circumstances surrounding how Doreal was able to translate the tablets sounds VERY similar to how Joseph Smith claimed he translated the teachings that became the book of mormon. A secret group/person gave me the privilege of reading/translating some incredible ancient text that nobody else can/will ever see, but trust me it's all true, huh? Call me a skeptic but it's a little hard to believe something with suck dubious origins. Admittedly the translations of Doreal don't seem to contain malicious material, but that doesn't make them any more or less legit in my opinion. Of course even fiction can still be very useful and thought provoking so perhaps reading them isn't a complete waste of time.

Seems there is mention that Isaac Newton first translated the Emerald Tablets of Thoth in the 17th century. Reportedly originally written by Thoth, who is described as a Atlantian Priest-King around 36,000 B.C... Later the Egyptian god Thoth, reported to be 'the father of Occult Wisdom, the founder of Astrology and the discoverer of Alchemy'.
Seems also that the Tablets may have been first mentioned in the 7th century as the Smaragdine Table

The Tablets have been described as rectangular green slabs or plaques with unique, bas-relief lettering. A lettering which appears similar to the ancient Phoenician script. And while the many translations over the centuries all source their origin from these carved emerald stones, the “original” objects are nowhere to be found … at least not to this day, but that would be understandable if they were real.

I think this story has some credibility, although would like to see the tablets and understand how they were translated. It is easy to conform to traditional archaeology and the history given to us by religious text or the winners of battle, who produce propaganda.

We live in a world of socially engineered control, where we self police and believe nothing without peer review or physical evidence. I think some of the psychology and philosophy within the supposed translated Emerald Tablets is very good, credible and worth contemplation.

I continually get dragged back to your page looking for some kind of constructive criticism to balance out different topics I read about. I never find it here. Instead I find a fringe author who wrote a book proclaiming the potential authenticity of what H.P. Lovecraft supposedly dreamt, cherry picking a work he CONFESSES not to have read to merely discredit it. It being a work that shares more in common with said author's writing, Jason, than anything else I've yet to read, you've written. Having read Lovecraft, the translations of the "Emerald Tablets of Thoth", and a few articles you've written, I can safely say the only drivel I've read recently is your own.

Peace and Blessings. This article is very informative. But I can say definitively that the alleged 'source' of the information contained within the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean affect the Work very, very little.

Let us consider the fact that, over 1800 years ago, the largest compilation of wisdom in world history was systematically scourged from the planet earth. I speak, of course, of the Egyptian Mystery System, which was an international dispensary of Otherworldly Wisdom, whose idea of 'salvation' was to transform a scrawny human being into a GOD, akin to their own Osiris/Ausar or Heru/Horus/Hercules. The later character being amalgamated with Apollonius of Tyana into the composite character known as 'Jesus Christ'. (scoff) Through the devilry of the Roman Empire/Roman Catholic Church, thousands and perhaps millions of years of scientific, spiritual, religious, artistic, occult wisdom was destroyed. The fragments that remained scattered to the four corners of the Earth, with a very healthy portion taken by the MOORS into Arabia, and later into SPAIN, where they lived for 800 years civilizing the 'hairy barbarians' they found there - the self-same ones who destroyed the Fountain of Life in Egypt. (Let it be known that Egypt is the custodian of the Atlantean Mystery System.) The MOORS seeded the Ancient Egyptian Wisdom in Europe, which set ablaze what they call the Renaissance, the development of numerous esoteric and occult mystery schools (the 'alchemists', Rosicrucian, Masonry, and the Western Mystery Tradition), and the overall raising European culture out of the Dark Ages into full life. Of course, it took yeeaaaars for the damage done by the Roman Catholic Church to World Wisdom to be recovered, and it stands as truth that there is much work left to be done.

And it is with such understanding we can analyse the Emerald Tablets and realize that it is no mere plagiarism; rather, it is an effort at recovering the history and THOUGHT (Thoth) of the Ancients. There is enough Truth here to dispel at least a portion of the cultured ignorance and naivety of modern humanity. I leave you with a portion from the book on trial:

"Man is a flame, bound to a Mountain, until by struggle at last he is free."

"Focus thy thought inward, not outward. Only by struggling thy utmost can LIGHT pour into thy Brain."

"Great Spirit of Light that shines through the Cosmos, draw my flame closer in harmony with Thee. Lift up my flame from out of the darkness (ignorance), magnet of Fire that is ONE with the ALL. Lift up my SOUL, Thou Mighty and Potent. Child of the LIGHT, turn not away. Draw me in power to melt in Thy furnace, One with All Things and ALL THINGS in ONE. Fire of the Life-Strain and ONE with the COSMIC BRAIN. (Amen-Ra.)"

Jesus was Stuck in a Cave [big round opening, no other entrance to the outside world; like a tunnel is] went to Hades [undergound] "Taught"(by) the Spirits and came back with the Keys of Life and Death.

Thoth had the staff of Vibration
Jesus had the Word [vibration]

Thoth starts with "Once my people were great" [so now lost]
Jesus came for the "Lost Tribe"

and this is just the tip of the iceberg.. we can take this back all the way to mesopotamian and proto semitic mythologies..

Thoth was given by the Amenti the power of "Aniti Earth Force" which is anti gravity..
Jesus after he "ressurected" ascended Full Body into the Sky..

Guys and Gals. I was just visited by the Her Emanance and Supreme Nagas Supreme of the Archons. You have not been allowed to hear her name before now. She speaks only to me randomly. I have the truth for your life, forever, and you never have to doubt them. The obligation you have inherited from the first cause in the mental realm to think is now waived, for only I have this truth from her and it is not from an inferior brain, for it is not from my brain or that of a human being, but from greater than us more distant as ant from an elephant. She revealed it to me because only I have the required exact body weight, skin color, eye color and the appropriate mole of intelligence in the correct eye. a
Apparently the truth is that all thought revealed to you before now was mostly correct, as all truths are not half truths, they are 3/4 truths. So be relieved my fellow Earthlings the answer you have ached for has arrived. All 3/4 truths are mental, but only to those who cannot, for circumstances that arise from the condition of the brain of every human, and 1/4 divine which no human can hope to never comprehend. The creator of all is unknowable. That is a truth. Knowing this to be THE TRUTH and that you cannot grasp it on your own in roundabout, because you are inferior to me. Only I have the markings and they will never come again. I am nonetheless telling you these things to spurn your growth onward and upward, tending toward the positive, despite the fact that the pendulum appears to swing to the negative as much as the positive is not a law of nature at all, the negative being so imperceptibly less than the positive, so that the tendency is explained by the law as you know it to be now that what goes up must come down, what goes left will eventually be right, and white will darken to black.

NoNe to prove you can handle the truth you must plant a seed of recompense. How do I plant a seed that is not a seed? You plant it in your mind. The words revealed to me are in a book I wrote. You must buy my book, pay for a photo, see the movie, twice, because money is worth what you are willing to spend and even on the gold standard isn't worth anything if you cannot manage to vibrate your personage at at a higher vibration than any Human before you. It's beyond truth to say that I have enough, even and yet it is true that enough is enough of money, because I do have some of yours yet. Yet no truth is in the enough truth for you. I cannot feed the world. I cannot help you except to give you this truth and let you go your way, assured you are on the path of compliance, and my words reveal the only truths you need to follow a The Path. Rules of The PathPath, in which all compliance is never enough, although enough is enough, are in the book. The answer is Really clear to me. Love will feed you even in drought and flood. Chew on the rays of the Sun for sustenance. For you are but chlorophyll in a blade of grass compared to me. Do try to catch up to me, even though you cannot, for you are but human. And as supreme Human, the Humana, and in understanding now and in history, I am the only human, the chosen human, and only I can grasp it. But with your seed of Faith as a demonstrated by purchase of my words I can help you. So read my words and grow and KNOW that truly love is the answer. Feed your children love inside to you, use it as money to trade amongst yourselves with my word. Do not be open to doubt now, or question, for by questioning already you have followed a tight and steep path to my words. Read and re-read the answers given and know that you can, one day when you grow enough get it, use it. You are on the path that I have trod, and yet my path cannot be trod by another.

Really people?

ok.. so when i read your little (example) of sarcastically coming up with a story to try and prove that anyone can do it an people will believe it. i feel nothing. when i read the emerald tablets (fiction or real) i recognize many truths and many concepts that i pondered and thought about long before hearing about them, or any other text for that matter..

personally, it doesn't matter what i read, listen to or watch. my inner connection to the spirit is what allows me (and anyone really) to discern the difference between truth and error.

this world is truth mixed with error. without the eyes to see the difference every bit of knowledge from every source is a deadly concoction that will alter your perception of reality.

if you find no value in the material. avoid it, that's freedom of choice. for those who can understand and see, let them see. star wars is a fiction, yet there are great truths embedded within its story's... humans have done this for thousands of years. and we will continue to do so for thousands more...

after all, we have all been lied to about a great many things, and the bulk of the lies come from the supposed ( official trusted sources) and they are not accidental.

Did you care to look into when the actual tablets were discovered, or did you just want to use a lot of words to mock the ridiculous people who plagiarized the original work? They were supposedly found in the Great Pyramid, so 2560 BC -- A LITTLE before the 1920s, but keep ranting. (I'm not checking the notify button since I found this site upon unfortunate accident, so feel free to rant there, too.)

Actually, Sir Isaac Newton translated (& published commentary on) the tablets from Latin and he died 1727.
So please explain how Lovecraft could've had any influence over the author of tablets already translated & studied by scholars worldwide for centuries before Lovecraft ever existed?

Sci-fi geeks need to get their heads out of their a$$ and do some actual historical research based in REALITY!

Where does it say that Newton translated the tablets of Thoth?

I can only find sources saying he translated the single ' Emerald Tablet'

your comment is actually hilarious,

did u ever care to dig in all ancient/sacred text?
the bible is plagerized from early semitic, egyptian and mesopotamian (sumerian) texts yet it is worldwide regarded as authentic texts.

not to forget that they altered and textual raped the original texts like the pieces they extracted from the dead sea scrolls.

and let's not get into the inclusion of buddhistic and hinduistic concepts in the new testament.

many of the islamic customs date back way before the quran and were already present in the Akkadian culture..

for that matter, keep turning a blind eye to the fact that the ongoing war between YW (yaw) and Baal Hadad transformed to a war between Yahweh and Allah.. which neither never were El Elyon to begin with regardless however both claim they are.

I find that the center of all theological matter is based on the understanding of fundamental truths. So, perhaps we ask ourselves, "What is truth?" If truth is based on both fact and personal experiences, how are we to define such an idea? All of these theological interpretations also have another theme, "The search for higher power" or intelligence beyond what we know. Through these experiences, it is my understanding that there is both intelligence and ignorance passed down through millennia with the innate desire to understand who we are and where or what we are created from. There are many similarities between the psychological and physiological processes of trauma in humans in relation to theological approach. So, let's go back to understanding the basis. What may be true to some may be false for other based on experience? This does not make the understanding of truth more substantial or the same for the latter. The ever noted desire and need to apply a theological perspective in an approach to understand a conscious feeling within our own human development may be the only truth society as a whole can agree on. Even to dispell the idea of God, one must first admit they have an idea of God. Thus, there will always be. As above so below. 💜

Excerpt NOT from Doreal's interpretation of The Emerald Tablet III: The Key of Wisdom:

Repeat thou not extravagant speech,
neither listen thou to it,
for it is the utterance of one
not in equilibrium.
Speak thou not of it,
so that he before thee may know wisdom.

Silence is of great profit.
An abundance of speech profiteth nothing.
Exalt not thine heart above the children of men,
lest it be brought lower than the dust.
If thou be great among men,
be honoured for knowledge and gentleness.
If thou seeketh to know the nature of a friend,
ask not his companion,
but pass a time alone with him.
Debate with him,
testing his heart by his words and his bearing.

I don't see any real sign of plagiarism. The closest would be the bit about angled and curved dimensions. However, from the reading I've done, it looks more and more like we're dealing with a 'single-source' phenomenon. That is, a common source which far pre-dates 20th century writers. Some food for thought:

Well, what occurred to me was that if this guy Doreal was indeed just an uneducated store clerk, he certainly had one up on Joseph Smith. For a forgery the so called translation of the "tablets" reads very well unlike the original book of Mormon which is a rambling mess. Not bad for an otherwise uneducated store clerk? Did he have help plumbing Lovecraftian lore perhaps? Looking at the single tablet is also perplexing as the reading changes from talking about a "thing" and "things" to references of "it" and "its" .. Even if you only have an inkling of philosophy "it" is pretty underwhelming.

I'll give doreal this he's done some homework in tablet 1 he sites a magnetic flip ending Atlantis he also makes reverence to dmt and the flower of life geometric shapes like the metaron cube made of circles.I also think there is compelling evidence to suggest Egyptian megalithic monuments were constructed long before academia would have us believe so the timeline is not as crazy as it sounds.

You admitted TWICE to not even bothering to read stuff, and we are supposes to take you seriously? All you're doing is copying/pasting random things and running your mouth to hear your head rattle. You're just as bogus as everything else you claim is. How ridiculous.

I read all the comments. Shudder...So many arrogant responses, the most insufferable being the author of the article having "not even read it". To claim plagiarism because 2 sources touch on similar concept (that have been echoed through the ages btw) is laughable.

Underground beings, serpent people, never mentioned before in any religion, ever <eyeroll>.

I am pleased I read the article though, because the hounds, curves, and angles concepts are clearly suspicious, and (for me) threw doubt on the whole authenticity of the Doreal translation... well for a few moments anyway.

But what I realize, is that we can't be sure where even that concept was derived. A dream, DTM(implanted), or research and claimed as Lovecraft's work. We just don't know, except the author of course, who knows apparently knows everything about something he has never even read.

I however "have" been listening to the tablets from Doreal every single night before bed for last 3 months. It started as an interest ad has since become a very big part of my life. I cannot possibly explain in words the positive effect this has had on my life. Which is why I am taking the time to write a comment, where I normally wouldn't bother.

If some person on the internet (author) somehow convinces you its all a fraud and not worth study, and you are ultimately put off listening to the genius work (via Doreal's translation) that would be a mistake of incalculable proportions.

I "also" testify that the north south positional healing works.

I will NEVER accept that a "store clerk" just "made this up". The tabletS are the only work of I have ever been exposed to that I would consider to be incontrovertibly the work of a higher being.

To the author. Shame on you for your CNN-level fact checking of work that you have never even read.

To readers. I urge you to read Doreal's work over an over until the words enter your soul, and make it part of your life. It is nothing short of life-changing.

"Oh Man! in thy wisdom; discourse with the ignorant, as well as the wise."

Wow. What started as disbelief and discard has turned into the closest I can find of a study group of the emerald tablets. That in itself bears the essence of the truths therein.
Hope everyone on here survived the covid.
