CITY OF REVELATION John Michell 1972 Page109 "At the root of our traditional units of measurement is the ancient, mystical science of numbers, to which Plato makes an obscure reference towards the end of Epinomis, here quoted from Lamb's translation. The most important and first (study) is of numbers in themselves: not of those which are corporeal, but of the whole origin of the odd and the even and the greatness of their influence on the nature of reality. When he has learnt these things, there comes next what they call by the very ridiculous name of geometry, when it proves to be a manifest likening of numbers not like one another by nature in respect of the province of planes; and this will be clearly seen by him who is able to understand it to be a marvel, not of human but of divine origin. And then, after that, the numbers thrice increased and like to the solid nature, and those again which have been made unlike, he likens by another art, namely that which its adepts call stereometry.' The text is probably corrupt, the expressions are unfamiliar and it is hard to follow Plato's meaning. But the reference, both here and in another passage in Laws, is to some method of relating different classes of phenomena to one numerical system, by which the adept may come to understand the unifying principle in nature. Of this knowledge Plato declares that it is the greatest of all blessings both to him who possessed it and to his community, but if it can not be acquired, the best substitute is simple faith in God since, on the / Page 110 / word of an initiate, matters are far better arranged than we can possibly conceive. He continues, 'Every diagram and system of number and every combination of harmony and the agreement of the revolution of the stars must be made manifest as one in all to him who learns in the proper way, and will be made manifest if a man learns aright by keeping his eyes on unity; for it will be manifest to us as we reflect, that there is one bond naturally uniting all these things.' The number 666 in metrology The number which above all others acts as a bond between the various units of measurement is the perfect number of Chaldean mathematics, 666. For example, 666 feet = 150 cubits + 150 MY while 666 square feet = 90 square MY. Also 6660 square yards = 902 square MY and 66,600 square feet = 1502 square cubits. The Babylonians had a decimal system, but they also reckoned in units of 6, 60 and 600 and a curious survival of this system is found in the letters which the Romans used as numerals, for the sum of I, V, X, L, C and D is 666.
THE DEATH OF GODS IN ANCIENT EGYPT Jane B. Sellars 1992 Page 204 "The overwhelming awe that accompanies the realization, of the measurable orderliness of the universe strikes modern man as well. Admiral Weiland E. Byrd, alone In the Antarctic for five months of polar darkness, wrote these phrases of intense feeling: Here were the imponderable processes and forces of the cosmos, harmonious and soundless. Harmony, that was it! I could feel no doubt of oneness with the universe. The conviction came that the rhythm was too orderly, too harmonious, too perfect to be a product of blind chance - that, therefore there must be purpose in the whole and that man was part of that whole and not an accidental offshoot. It was a feeling that transcended reason; that went to the heart of man's despair and found it groundless. The universe was a cosmos, not a chaos; man was as rightfully a part of that cosmos as were the day and night.10 Returning to the account of the story of Osiris, son of Cronos god of' Measurable Time, Plutarch takes, pains to remind the reader of the original Egyptian year consisting of 360 days. Phrases are used that prompt simple mental. calculations and an attention to numbers, for example, the 360-day year is described as being '12 months of 30 days each'. Then we are told that, Osiris leaves on a long journey, during which Seth, his evil brother, plots with 72 companions to slay Osiris: He also secretly obtained the measure of Osiris and made ready a chest in which to entrap him. The, interesting thing about this part of the-account is that nowhere in the original texts of the Egyptians are we told that Seth, has 72 companions. We have already been encouraged to equate Osiris with the concept of measured time; his father being Cronos. It is also an observable fact that Cronos-Saturn has the longest sidereal period of the known planets at that time, an orbit. of 30 years. Saturn is absent from a specific constellation for that length of time. A simple mathematical fact has been revealed to any that are even remotely sensitive to numbers: if you multiply 72 by 30, the years of Saturn's absence (and the mention of Osiris's absence prompts one to recall this other), the resulting product is 2,160: the number of years required, for one 30° shift, or a shift: through one complete sign of the zodiac. This number multplied by the / Page205 / 12 signs also gives 25,920. (And Plutarch has reminded us of 12) If you multiply the unusual number 72 by 360, a number that Plutarch mentions several times, the product will be 25,920, again the number of years symbolizing the ultimate rebirth. This 'Eternal Return' is the return of, say, Taurus to the position of marking the vernal equinox by 'riding in the solar bark with. Re' after having relinquished this honoured position to Aries, and subsequently to the to other zodiacal constellations. Such a return after 25,920 years is indeed a revisit to a Golden Age, golden not only because of a remarkable symmetry In the heavens, but golden because it existed before the Egyptians experienced heaven's changeability. But now to inform the reader of a fact he or she may already know. Hipparaus did: not really have the exact figures: he was a trifle off in his observations and calculations. In his published work, On the Displacement of the Solstitial and Equinoctial Signs, he gave figures of 45" to 46" a year, while the truer precessional lag along the ecliptic is about 50 seconds. The exact measurement for the lag, based on the correct annual lag of 50'274" is 1° in 71.6 years, or 360° in 25,776 years, only 144 years less than the figure of 25,920. With Hipparchus's incorrect figures a 'Great Year' takes from 28,173.9 to 28,800 years, incorrect by a difference of from 2,397.9 years to 3,024. Since Nicholas Copernicus (AD 1473-1543) has always been credited with giving the correct numbers (although Arabic astronomer Nasir al-Din Tusi,11 born AD 1201, is known to have fixed the Precession at 50°), we may correctly ask, and with justifiable astonishment 'Just whose information was Plutarch transmitting' AN IMPORTANT POSTSCRIPT Of course, using our own notational system, all the important numbers have digits that reduce to that amazing number 9 a number that has always delighted budding mathematician. Page 206 Somewhere along the way, according to Robert Graves, 9 became the number of lunar wisdom.12 This number is found often in the mythologies of the world. the Viking god Odin hung for nine days and nights on the World Tree in order to acquire the secret of the runes, those magic symbols out of which writing and numbers grew. Only a terrible sacrifice would give away this secret, which conveyed upon its owner power and dominion over all, so Odin hung from his neck those long 9 days and nights over the 'bottomless abyss'. In the tree were 9 worlds, and another god was said to have been born of 9 mothers. Robert Graves, in his White Goddess, Is intrigued by the seemingly recurring quality of the number 72 in early myth and ritual. Graves tells his reader that 72 is always connected with the number 5, which reflects, among other things, the five Celtic dialects that he was investigating. Of course, 5 x 72= 360, 360 x 72= 25,920. Five is also the number of the planets known to the ancient world, that is, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus Mercury. Graves suggests a religious mystery bound up with two ancient Celtic 'Tree Alphabets' or cipher alphabets, which as genuine articles of Druidism were orally preserved and transmitted for centuries. He argues convincingly that the ancient poetry of Europe was ultimately based on what its composers believed to be magical principles, the rudiments of which formed a close religious secret for centuries. In time these were-garbled, discredited and forgotten. Among the many signs of the transmission of special numbers he points out that the aggregate number of letter strokes for the complete 22-letter Ogham alphabet that he is studying is 72 and that this number is the multiple of 9, 'the number of lunar wisdom'. . . . he then mentions something about 'the seventy day season during which Venus moves successively from. maximum eastern elongation 'to inferior conjunction and maximum western elongation'.13 Page 207 "...Feniusa Farsa, Graves equates this hero with Dionysus. Farsa has 72 assistants who helped him master the 72 languages created at the confusion of Babel, the tower of which is said to be built of 9 different materials We are also reminded of the miraculous translation into Greek of the Five Books of Moses that was done by 72 scholars working for 72 days, Although the symbol for the Septuagint is LXX, legend, according to the fictional letter of Aristeas, records 72. The translation was done for Ptolemy Philadelphus (c.250 BC), by Hellenistic Jews, possibly from Alexandra.14 Graves did not know why this number was necessary, but he points out that he understands Frazer's Golden Bough to be a book hinting that 'the secret involves the truth that the Christian dogma, and rituals, are the refinement of a great body of primitive beliefs, and that the only original element in Christianity- is the personality of Christ.15 Frances A. Yates, historian of Renaissance hermetisma tells, us the cabala had 72 angels through which the sephiroth (the powers of God) are believed to be approached, and further, she supplies the information that although the Cabala supplied a set of 48 conclusions purporting to confirm the Christian religion from the foundation of ancient wisdom, Pico Della Mirandola, a Renaissance magus, introduced instead 72, which were his 'own opinion' of the correct number. Yates writes, 'It is no accident there are seventy-two of Pico's Cabalist conclusions, for the conclusion shows that he knew something of the mystery of the Name of God with seventy-two letters.'16 In Hamlet's Mill de Santillana adds the facts that 432,000 is the number of syllables in the Rig-Veda, which when multiplied by the soss (60) gives 25,920" (The reader is forgiven for a bit of laughter at this point) The Bible has not escaped his pursuit. A prominent Assyriologist of the last century insisted that the total of the years recounted mounted in Genesis for the lifetimes of patriarchs from the Flood also contained the needed secret numbers. (He showed that in the 1,656 years recounted in the Bible there are 86,400 7 day weeks, and dividing this number yields / Page 208 / 43,200.) In Indian yogic schools it is held that all living beings exhale and inhale 21,600 times a day, multiply this by 2 and again we have the necessary 432 digits. Joseph Campbell discerns the secret in the date set for the coming of Patrick to Ireland. Myth-gives this date-as-the interesting number of AD.432.18 Whatever one may think-of some of these number coincidences, it becomes difficult to escape the suspicion that many signs (number and otherwise) - indicate that early man observed the results of the movement of Precession and that the - transmission of this information was considered of prime importance. With the awareness of the phenomenon, observers would certainly have tried for its measure, and such an endeavour would have constituted the construction-of a 'Unified Field Theory' for nothing less than Creation itself. Once determined, it would have been information worthy of secrecy and worthy of the passing on to future adepts. But one last word about mankind's romance with number coincidences.The antagonist in John Updike's novel, Roger's Version, is a computer hacker, who, convinced, that scientific evidence of God's existence is accumulating, endeavours to prove it by feeding -all the available scientific information. into a comuter. In his search for God 'breaking, through', he has become fascinated by certain numbers that have continually been cropping up. He explains them excitedly as 'the terms of Creation': "...after a while I noticed that all over the sheet there seemed to hit these twenty-fours Jumping out at me. Two four; two, four. Planck time, for instance, divided by the radiation constant yields a figure near eight times ten again to the negative twenty-fourth, and the permittivity of free space, or electric constant, into the Bohr radius ekla almost exactly six times ten to the negative twenty-fourth. On positive side, the electromagnetic line-structure constant times Hubble radius - that is, the size of the universe as we now perceive it gives us something quite close to ten to the twenty-fourth, and the strong-force constant times the charge on the proton produces two point four times ten to the negative eighteenth, for another I began to circle twenty-four wherever it appeared on the Printout here' - he held it up his piece of stripped and striped wallpaper, decorated / Page 209 /
with a number of scarlet circles - 'you can see it's more than random.'19 So much for any scorn directed to ancient man's fascination with number coincidences. That fascination is alive and well, Just a bit more incomprehensible"

NUMBER 9 THE SEARCH FOR THE SIGMA CODE Cecil Balmond 1998 Cycles and Patterns Page 165 Patterns "The essence of mathematics is to look for patterns. Our minds seem to be organised to search for relationships and sequences. We look for hidden orders. These intuitions seem to be more important than the facts themselves, for there is always the thrill at finding something, a pattern, it is a discovery - what was unknown is now revealed. Imagine looking up at the stars and finding the zodiac! Searching out patterns is a pure delight. Suddenly the counters fall into place and a connection is found, not necessarily a geometric one, but a relationship between numbers, pictures of the mind, that were not obvious before. There is that excitement of finding order in something that was otherwise hidden. And there is the knowledge that a huge unseen world lurks behind the facades we see of the numbers themselves."
FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS A QUEST FOR THE BEGINNING AND THE END Graham Hancock 1995 Chapter 32 Speaking to the Unborn Page 285 "It is understandable that a huge range of myths from all over the ancient world should describe geological catastrophes in graphic detail. Mankind survived the horror of the last Ice Age, and the most plausible source for our enduring traditions of flooding and freezing, massive volcanism and devastating earthquakes is in the tumultuous upheavals unleashed during the great meltdown of 15,000 to 8000 BC. The final retreat of the ice sheets, and the consequent 300-400 foot rise in global sea levels, took place only a few thousand years before the beginning of the historical period. It is therefore not surprising that all our early civilizations should have retained vivid memories of the vast cataclysms that had terrified their forefathers. A message in the bottle of time 'Of all the other stupendous inventions,' Galileo once remarked, what sublimity of mind must have been his who conceived how to communicate his most secret thoughts to any other person, though very distant either in time or place, speaking with those who are in the Indies, speaking to those who are not yet born, nor shall be this thousand or ten thousand years? And with no greater difficulty than the various arrangements of two dozen little signs on paper? Let this be the seal of all the admirable inventions of men.3 If the 'precessional message' identified by scholars like Santillana, von Dechend and Jane Sellers is indeed a deliberate attempt at communication by some lost civilization of antiquity, how come it wasn't just written down and left for us to find? Wouldn't that have been easier than encoding it in myths? Perhaps. "What one would look for, therefore, would be a universal language, the kind of language that would be comprehensible to any technologically advanced society in any epoch, even a thousand or ten thousand years into the future. Such languages are few and far between, but mathematics is one of them" "WRITTEN IN THE ETERNAL LANGUAGE OF MATHEMATICS"

This is known as the 'Grand Gallery', unique to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only one to have a magnificent grand gallery in its ascending system. It is a hall 153 feet long and 7 feet wide at the floor level, and about 28 feet high, angling upward at the same slope. The walls rise in seven courses of polished limestone. On both sides of the central 2 foot passage are two narrow ramps 18 inches wide and slotted at regular intervals. The purpose of these ramps is unknown, and the purpose of this gallery still remains a mystery. Logic would assume the slope was right for construction and later maintenence, such as cleaning out accumulated silt and mud (after stopping and draining the pump, of course). The steps would tend to catch swirling bits of sediment from the gentle flow of water. The Grand Gallery ends at the passage to the 'Kings Chamber'.

The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation The-Tibetan-Book-of-the-Great-Liberation-Padma-Sambhava ... Bardo Thodol - Wikipedia (2005) The Tibetan Book of the Dead [English title]: The Great Liberation by Hearing in the Intermediate States [Tibetan title]; composed by Padma Sambhava:The Bardo Thodol (Tibetan: ??????????????, Wylie: bar do thos grol, "Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State"), commonly known in the West as The Tibetan Book of the Dead, is a terma text from a larger corpus of teachings, the Profound Dharma of Self-Liberation through the Intention of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones,[1][note 1] revealed by Karma Lingpa (1326–1386). It is the best-known work of Nyingma literature.[3] In 1927 the text was one of the first examples of both Tibetan and Vajrayana literature to be translated into a European language and arguably continues to this day to be the best known.[4][5] The Tibetan text describes, and is intended to guide one through, the experiences that the consciousness has after death, in the bardo, the interval between death and the next rebirth. The text also includes chapters on the signs of death and rituals to undertake when death is closing in or has taken place. The text can be used as either an advanced practice for trained meditators or to support the uninitiated during the death experience.Etymology The Tibetan bar and its Sanskrit cognate antara mean ‘between.’ The Sanskrit bhava means a place of existence. Thus antarabhava means ‘an existence between,’ translated into Tibetan as bardo. Original text Centuries old Zhi-Khro mandala, a part of the Bardo Thodol's collection, a text known in the West as The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which comprises part of a group of bardo teachings held in the Nyingma (Tibetan tradition) originated with guru Padmasambhava in the 8th century. bar do thos grol "Great Liberation through Hearing: The Supplication of the Bardo of Dharmata" (chos nyid bar do'i gsol 'debs thos grol chen mo), the bardo of dharmata (including the bardo of dying); kar-gling zhi-khro The Profound Dharma of Self-Liberation is known in several versions, containing varying numbers of sections and subsections, and arranged in different orders, ranging from around ten to thirty-eight titles.[1] The individual texts cover a wide range of subjects, including meditation instructions, visualizations of deities, liturgies and prayers, lists of mantras, descriptions of the signs of death, indications of future rebirth, and texts such as the bar do thos grol that are concerned with the bardo-state.[1] Three bardos The chikhai bardo or "bardo of the moment of death", which features the experience of the "clear light of reality", or at least the nearest approximation of which one is spiritually capable; "Life", or ordinary waking consciousness;

In Christianity, 666 is called the "number of the beast" in (most manuscripts of) chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation of the New Testament. 666 (number) - Wikipedia Wikipedia n mathematics IN RELIGION 666 (six hundred [and] sixty-six) is the natural number following 665 and preceding 667. In Christianity, 666 is called the "number of the beast" in (most manuscripts of) chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation of the New Testament. 666 (number) - Wikipedia Wikipedia n mathematics Main article: Number of the beast In modern popular culture, 666 has become one of the most widely recognized symbols for the Antichrist or, alternatively, the devil. Earnest references to the number occur both among apocalypticist Christian groups and in explicitly anti-Christian subcultures. References in contemporary Western art or literature are, more likely than not, intentional references to the Beast symbolism. Such popular references are therefore too numerous to list. It is common to see the symbolic role of the integer 666 transferred to the numerical digit sequence 6-6-6. Some people take the Satanic associations of 666 so seriously that they actively avoid things related to 666 or the digits 6-6-6. This is known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia. The Number of the Beast is cited. Other occurrences

THE DAILY MAIL Jonathan Cainer Tuesday, December 6, 2005 Page 56 HI JONATHAN. Next year we will have the date 6-6-6 upon us. Can we expect the Antichrist to be born on this day? Or will the Devil show his hand in some other way? Dear Jim, It is hard to imagine that the Prince of Darkness has to sit around waiting for his number to come up before he can make a move. But then again, they do say 'the devil is in the detail' I predict 6.6.06 will pass quite safely for us all, though - even at 6 minutes and 6 seconds past 6

QUESTION ? HOW LONG IS THE GRAND GALLERY IN THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA 153 x 12 = 153 = 1836 = 1836 = 153 = 12 x 153 QYESTIN HOW LONG IS THE GRAND GALLERY IN THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA Grand Gallery & Kings Chamber - Atlas Publications 20m.com Following the ascending passage, up at its 26-degree angle, after 124 feet, we finally arrive at a large open space. This is known as the 'Grand Gallery', unique to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only one to have a magnificent grand gallery in its ascending system. It is a hall 153 feet long and 7 feet wide at the floor level, and about 28 feet high, angling upward at the same slope. The walls rise in seven courses of polished limestone. On both sides of the central 2 foot passage are two narrow ramps 18 inches wide and slotted at regular intervals. The purpose of these ramps is unknown, and the purpose of this gallery still remains a mystery. Logic would assume the slope was right for construction and later maintenence, such as cleaning out accumulated silt and mud (after stopping and draining the pump, of course). The steps would tend to catch swirling bits of sediment from the gentle flow of water. The Grand Gallery ends at the passage to the 'Kings Chamber'. This is known as the 'Grand Gallery', unique to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only one to have a magnificent grand gallery in its ascending system. It is a hall 153 feet long

This is why Tutankhamun was entombed in nine layers of coffin. This is why the pyramid skirts of the two statues, guarding the entrance to the Burial Chamber, were triangular (base 3), when the all-seeing eye-skirt of Mereruka contained a pyramid skirt with a base of four sides.

LIFE THE CREATIVE METAMORPHOSIS LIFE THE CREATIVE METAMORPHOSIS LOOK ABROAD THROUGH NATURE’S RANGE NATURE’S MIGHTY LAW IS CHANGE.” Robbie Burns We are in search of examples of nature’s supreme intelligence at work, is their perhaps a greater power pulling the strings of what we humans generalise in the word “evolution”. Yet within that generalisation there are distinct types of evolution. Here are a trio of our own citations, however your contributions are immensely valuable and we need to hear from you with those most remarkable examples that you find to be truly unaccountable to one overriding theory. Thank you in advance Redbeck Some creatures seem to have perfectly adapted to their environment. Take the koala. Thanks to a specialised digestive system, it survives on those very fibrous, low on nutrients and, to most other animals, poisonous eucalypt leaves.
Or the queen of camouflage: the leafy seadragon of southern Australia. It’s a kind of seahorse which, thanks to the development of a number of plant-like protuberances, looks exactly like a clump of floating seaweed. Not only does this render the seahorse invisible to potential predators but, when tiny shrimp take shelter encouraged by its leafy appendages - unwittingly embracing the seahorse as a safe haven of greenery – therefore becoming an easy meal for their flamboyantly disguised host.
Some plants, such as the Venus Fly Trap, are carnivorous. Usually plants obtain nitrogen, a chemical element vital to any plant’s survival, extracted from the soil through their roots. These plants, however, usually grow in areas where the soil lacks nitrogen. Therefore they are unable to obtain sufficient nitrogen from their environmental soil base. In order to thrive in such nitrogen-poor soil environment, these carnivorous plants supplement this deficiency by capturing insects in trap-like leaves. The insects thus become the alternative source of nitrogen for the plant allowing it to survive and flourish in a nitrogen-poor habitat.
Re: LIFE THE CREATIVE METAMORPHOSIS How will we fit to our environment in a world of smog and flood? Should we even evolve to fit to a wicked world or should we die to love for a pure one. The human can survive, should the human survive if it renders itself to have to survive in a world of micro plastics and chemical castration? The moment Cypress trees become carnivorous we should sign over our right as the apex creature, that’s a deadly combination, or the Goliath bird eating spider.

Re: LIFE THE CREATIVE METAMORPHOSIS Giant Tube Worm First discovered in 1977, giant tube worms [Riftia pachyptila] are invertebrates that can reach 8 feet in length and 1.6 inches in diameter. Capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, they are often found near boiling-hot hydrothermal vents — fissures on the seafloor that release fluids. Their bodies are anchored to rocks and encased in hard, white tubes with rose-bud openings called “plumes.” These plumes take in hydrogen sulphide from the water, which the worms convert into sulphur crystals in order to produce energy. Found in the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California
At first glance a wombat is a fuzzy little marsupial with a friendly face and calm demeanour. You’d probably immediately want to hug him. However, appearances are deceptive: Wombats have rodent-like teeth and can get aggressive if they feel threatened. Wombats demonstrate surprising evolution in other ways, too. Unlike other marsupials, their pouches face backwards and their faeces are cube-shaped like building bricks. To protect the tunnels in which they live and their family communities, on sensing danger they dive into them headfirst and stick up their rump, which over time has become tough enough to thwart predators. The rear end of the wombat is hard as rock, used for defence, burrowing, bonding, mating and possibly violently crushing the skulls of its enemies against the roof of its burrow.

THE FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS Graham Hancock 1995 Page 273 "The precessional numbers highlighted by Sellers in the Osiris myth are 360, 72, 30 and 12." "These he joined to the 360 days of which the year then consisted (emphasis added)." "Elsewhere the myth informs us that the 360 - day year consists of "12 months of 30 days each". Note 6 And in general,as Sellers observes , "phrases are used which prompt simple mental calculations and an attention to numbers ". note 7 "Elsewhere the myth informs us that the 360-day year consists of '12 months of 30 days each'. Thus far we have been provided with three of Seller's precessional: 360, 12 and 30. The fourth number,which occurs later in the text, is by far the most important. As we saw in Chapter Nine, the evil deity known as Set led a group of conspirators in a plot to kill Osiris. The number of these conspirators was 72."

9 is a composite number, its proper divisors being 1 and 3. It is 3 times 3 and hence the third square number. Nine is a Motzkin number.[1] It is the first composite lucky number, along with the first composite odd number and only single-digit composite odd number. 3 times 3 is one more than 2 times 2 times 2. Thus, 9 is a positive perfect power that is one more than another positive perfect power, and it can be proved by Mihailescu's Theorem that 9 is the only number having this property. 9 is the highest single-digit number in the decimal system. It is the second non-unitary square prime of the form (p2) and the first that is odd. All subsequent squares of this form are odd. Since 9 = 321, 9 is an exponential factorial.[2] A polygon with nine sides is called a nonagon or enneagon.[3] A group of nine of anything is called an ennead. In base 10, a positive number is divisible by 9 if and only if its digital root is 9.[4] That is, if any natural number is multiplied by 9, and the digits of the answer are repeatedly added until it is just one digit, the sum will be nine: The number 9 is revered in Hinduism and considered a complete, perfected and divine number because it represents the end of a cycle in the decimal system, which originated from the Indian subcontinent as early as 3000 BC. What Does The Number Nine Mean In The Bible? | Resource The number nine is the third of the three numbers symbolizing different aspects of completion. Since the number nine is also the last of the numbers in the ... With the number nine, the journey through the divine numeric code of the bible ends. Like the number eight, the number nine does not appear explicitly in its simplest form very often. But both the explicit use of the number nine, and other well-known numbers which sum to the number nine, are very significant to the message of the bible. The number nine is the third of the three numbers symbolizing different aspects of completion. Since the number nine is also the last of the numbers in the biblical code, its meaning is as logical as you should expect. The number nine is the symbol of what brings things to an end. There are examples of this symbolism in everyday life. For example, the ninth month ends a woman's pregnancy and results in a new life. The ninth planet ends the reach of the known solar system. And of course, within the Arabic numeral system, the number nine is the last digit before you add another position and begin again. As with the numbers before it, the number nine builds on the immediately previous number by adding another dimension. The number eight symbolises completion - but not in the sense of an ending. While the number eight symbolizes completion in the sense of completed development, or making entire, or fulfillment of intent, the number nine adds the meaning of finality. It represents the end or conclusion. When it appears explicitly in the scripture, it carries with it this connotation of conclusion - the end of a life or the end of a state of being. When other well-known numbers with combinations of digits that add to the number nine appear explicitly in the bible, they often have even a more specific symbolism: the end of time.

LAPIS PHILOSOPHORUM Philosopher's stone - Wikipedia The philosopher's stone, more properly philosophers' stone or stone of the philosophers (Latin: lapis philosophorum) is a legendary alchemical substance capable of turning base metals such as mercury into gold (chrysopoeia, from the Greek ???s?? khrusos, "gold", and p??e?? poiein, "to make") or silver. It is also called the elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and for achieving immortality;[1] for many centuries, it was the most sought goal in alchemy. The philosophers' stone was the central symbol of the mystical terminology of alchemy, symbolizing perfection at its finest, enlightenment, and heavenly bliss. Efforts to discover the philosophers' stone were known as the Magnum Opus ("Great Work").[2] History?[edit] Antiquity?[edit] The earliest known written mention of the philosophers' stone is in the Cheirokmeta by Zosimos of Panopolis (c. 300 AD).[3] Alchemical writers assign a longer history. Elias Ashmole and the anonymous author of Gloria Mundi (1620) claim that its history goes back to Adam, who acquired the knowledge of the stone directly from God. This knowledge was said to be passed down through biblical patriarchs, giving them their longevity. The legend of the stone was also compared to the biblical history of the Temple of Solomon and the rejected cornerstone described in Psalm 118.[4] The theoretical roots outlining the stone's creation can be traced to Greek philosophy. Alchemists later used the classical elements, the concept of anima mundi, and Creation stories presented in texts like Plato's Timaeus as analogies for their process.[5] According to Plato, the four elements are derived from a common source or prima materia (first matter), associated with chaos. Prima materia is also the name alchemists assign to the starting ingredient for the creation of the philosophers' stone. The importance of this philosophical first matter persisted throughout the history of alchemy. In the seventeenth century, Thomas Vaughan writes, "the first matter of the stone is the very same with the first matter of all things".[6] Middle Ages?[edit] Early medieval alchemists built upon the work of Zosimos in the Byzantine Empire and the Arab empires. Byzantine and Arab alchemists were fascinated by the concept of metal transmutation and attempted to carry out the process.[7] The 8th-century Muslim alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan (Latinized as Geber) analyzed each classical element in terms of the four basic qualities. Fire was both hot and dry, earth cold and dry, water cold and moist, and air hot and moist. He theorized that every metal was a combination of these four principles, two of them interior and two exterior. From this premise, it was reasoned that the transmutation of one metal into another could be affected by the rearrangement of its basic qualities. This change would be mediated by a substance, which came to be called xerion in Greek and al-iksir in Arabic (from which the word elixir is derived). It was often considered to exist as a dry red powder (also known as al-kibrit al-ahmar, red sulfur) made from a legendary stone—the philosophers' stone.[8][9] The elixir powder came to be regarded as a crucial component of transmutation by later Arab alchemists.[7] In the 11th century, there was a debate among Muslim world chemists on whether the transmutation of substances was possible. A leading opponent was the Persian polymath Avicenna (Ibn Sina), who discredited the theory of transmutation of substances, stating, "Those of the chemical craft know well that no change can be effected in the different species of substances, though they can produce the appearance of such change."[10] According to legend, the 13th-century scientist and philosopher Albertus Magnus is said to have discovered the philosophers' stone. Magnus does not confirm he discovered the stone in his writings, but he did record that he witnessed the creation of gold by "transmutation".[11] Renaissance to early modern period?[edit] THE SQUARED CIRCLE
The Squared Circle: an alchemical symbol (17th century) illustrating the interplay of the four elements of matter symbolising the philosophers' stone The English philosopher Sir Thomas Browne in his spiritual testament Religio Medici (1643) identified the religious aspect of the quest for the philosopher's Stone when declaring: The smattering I have of the Philosophers stone, (which is something more than the perfect exaltation of gold) hath taught me a great deale of Divinity. — (R.M.Part 1:38)[12] A mystical text published in the 17th century called the Mutus Liber appears to be a symbolic instruction manual for concocting a philosopher's stone. Called the "wordless book", it was a collection of 15 illustrations. In Buddhism and Hinduism?[edit] Main article: Cintamani The equivalent of the philosophers' stone in Buddhism and Hinduism is the Cintamani, also spelled as Chintamani.[13] It is also referred to[14] as Paras/Parasmani (Sanskrit: ???????, Hindi: ????) or Paris (Marathi: ????). In Mahayana Buddhism, Chintamani is held by the bodhisattvas, Avalokiteshvara and Ksitigarbha. It is also seen carried upon the back of the Lung ta (wind horse) which is depicted on Tibetan prayer flags. By reciting the Dharani of Chintamani, Buddhist tradition maintains that one attains the Wisdom of Buddhas, is able to understand the truth of the Buddhas, and turns afflictions into Bodhi. It is said to allow one to see the Holy Retinue of Amitabha and his assembly upon one's deathbed. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition the Chintamani is sometimes depicted as a luminous pearl and is in the possession of several of different forms of the Buddha.[15] Within Hinduism it is connected with the gods Vishnu and Ganesha. In Hindu tradition it is often depicted as a fabulous jewel in the possession of the Naga king or as on the forehead of the Makara.[citation needed] The Yoga Vasistha, originally written in the 10th century AD, contains a story about the philosophers' stone.[16] A great Hindu sage wrote about the spiritual accomplishment of Gnosis using the metaphor of the philosophers' stone. Saint Jnaneshwar (1275–1296) wrote a commentary with 17 references to the philosopher's stone that explicitly transmutes base metal into gold. The seventh century Siddhar Thirumoolar in his classic Tirumandhiram explains man's path to immortal divinity. In verse 2709 he declares that the name of God, Shiva is an alchemical vehicle that turns the body into immortal gold. Properties?[edit] The most commonly mentioned properties are the ability to transmute base metals into gold or silver, and the ability to heal all forms of illness and prolong the life of any person who consumes a small part of the philosopher's stone diluted in wine.[17] Other mentioned properties include: creation of perpetually burning lamps,[17] transmutation of common crystals into precious stones and diamonds,[17] reviving of dead plants,[17] creation of flexible or malleable glass,[18] or the creation of a clone or homunculus.[19] Names?[edit] Numerous synonyms were used to make oblique reference to the stone, such as "white stone" (calculus albus, identified with the calculus candidus of Revelation 2:17 which was taken as a symbol of the glory of heaven[20]), vitriol (as expressed in the backronym Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem), also lapis noster, lapis occultus, in water at the box, and numerous oblique, mystical or mythological references such as Adam, Aer, Animal, Alkahest, Antidotus, Antimonium, Aqua benedicta, Aqua volans per aeram, Arcanum, Atramentum, Autumnus, Basilicus, Brutorum cor, Bufo, Capillus, Capistrum auri, Carbones, Cerberus, Chaos, Cinis cineris, Crocus, Dominus philosophorum, Divine quintessence, Draco elixir, Filius ignis, Fimus, Folium, Frater, Granum, Granum frumenti, Haematites, Hepar, Herba, Herbalis, Lac, Melancholia, Ovum philosophorum, Panacea salutifera, Pandora, Phoenix, Philosophic mercury, Pyrites, Radices arboris solares, Regina, Rex regum, Sal metallorum, Salvator terrenus, Talcum, Thesaurus, Ventus hermetis.[21] Many of the medieval allegories for a Christ were adopted for the lapis, and the Christ and the Stone were indeed taken as identical in a mystical sense. The name of "Stone" or lapis itself is informed by early Christian allegory, such as Priscillian (4th century), who stated, Unicornis est Deus, nobis petra Christus, nobis lapis angularis Jesus, nobis hominum homo Christus (One-horned is God, Christ the rock to us, Jesus the cornerstone to us, Christ the man of men to us.)[22] In some texts it is simply called 'stone', or our stone, or in the case of Thomas Norton's Ordinal, "oure delycious stone".[23] The stone was frequently praised and referred to in such terms. It needs to be noted that philosophorum does not mean "of the philosopher" or "the philosopher's" in the sense of a single philosopher. It means "of the philosophers" in the sense of a plurality of philosophers. Appearance?[edit] Philosopher's stone as pictured in Atalanta Fugiens Emblem 21 The first key of Basil Valentine, emblem associated with the 'Great Work' of obtaining the Philosopher's stone (Twelve Keys of Basil Valentine). Alchemical authors sometimes suggest that the stone's descriptors are metaphorical.[29] The appearance is expressed geometrically in Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens. "Make of a man and woman a circle; then a quadrangle; out of this a triangle; make again a circle, and you will have the Stone of the Wise. Thus is made the stone, which thou canst not discover, unless you, through diligence, learn to understand this geometrical teaching."[30] Rupescissa uses the imagery of the Christian passion, telling us it ascends "from the sepulcher of the Most Excellent King, shining and glorious, resuscitated from the dead and wearing a red diadem...".[31] Interpretations?[edit] The various names and attributes assigned to the philosophers' stone has led to long-standing speculation on its composition and source. Exoteric candidates have been found in metals, plants, rocks, chemical compounds, and bodily products such as hair, urine, and eggs. Justus von Liebig states that 'it was indispensable that every substance accessible... should be observed and examined'.[32] Alchemists once thought a key component in the creation of the stone was a mythical element named carmot.[33][34] Esoteric hermetic alchemists may reject work on exoteric substances, instead directing their search for the philosopher's stone inward.[35] Though esoteric and exoteric approaches are sometimes mixed, it is clear that some authors "are not concerned with material substances but are employing the language of exoteric alchemy for the sole purpose of expressing theological, philosophical, or mystical beliefs and aspirations".[36] New interpretations continue to be developed around spagyric, chemical, and esoteric schools of thought. The transmutation mediated by the stone has also been interpreted as a psychological process. Idries Shah devotes a chapter of his book The Sufis to providing a detailed analysis of the symbolic significance of alchemical work with the philosopher's stone. His analysis is based in part on a linguistic interpretation through Arabic equivalents of one of the terms for the stone (Azoth) as well as for sulfur, salt and mercury.[37] Creation?[edit] Main article: Magnum opus (alchemy) The philosophers' stone is created by the alchemical method known as The Magnum Opus or The Great Work. Often expressed as a series of color changes or chemical processes, the instructions for creating the philosopher's stone are varied. When expressed in colors, the work may pass through phases of nigredo, albedo, citrinitas, and rubedo. When expressed as a series of chemical processes it often includes seven or twelve stages concluding in multiplication, and projection.

THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE A QUEST FOR THE SECRETS OF ALCHEMY Peter Marshall 2001 "The Philosopher's Stone is called the most ancient, secret or unknown, natural, incomprehensible, heavenly, blessed, sacred Stone of the Sages. It is described as being true, more certain than certainty itself, the arcanum of all arcana - the Divine virtue and efficacy, which is hidden from the foolish, the aim and end of all things under heaven, the wonderful epilogue or conclusion of all the labours of the Sages - the perfect essence of all the elements, the indestructible body which no element can injure, the quintessence; the double and living mercury which has in itself the heavenly spirit - the cure of all unsound and imperfect metals - the everlasting light - the panacea for all diseases - the glorious Phoenix - the most precious of all treasures - the chief good of Nature."

"On my return to Wales I was surprised to find out that my neighbour was a great admirer of Ibn ' Arabi, a Sufi poet and thinker who was born in Murcia in south-east Spain in 1165, Islamic spiritual alchemy reached its supreme expression in his works, but she warned me that' he was not easy to understand, He would often quote the prophet Muhammad: 'The first gift God gave me was reading between the lines!' In his own writings, as in other alchemical works, it is necessary 'to read between the lines' since there are many levels and hidden meanings. They are all journeys of the soul towards God. His full name was Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn ' Ali Muhyi ai-Din al-Hatimi al-Andalus. In hIs youth, Ibn ' Arabi was exposed to the gnostic and mystical tradition of the Sufis in Andalusia. He had a thorough grounding in the Qur'an but was not deeply impressed by philoso-phers, preferring the works of 'sages' (hakim). His one exception was the 'divine Plato'. He felt theology and philosophy were not entirely in vain, but those who relied on their intellect could only grasp it tiny part of the truth. In Ibn ' Arabi's view 'there is not one single thing that cannot be known through revelation [kashf] or spiritual experience [wujad}'.l Only the man of faith would be able to reach the seventh heaven and experience the full light of God. Ibn 'Arabi remained for thirty years in Seville, the capital of the empire of the Almohades dynasty. He travelled widely throughout the Islamic world, from Spain to Morocco, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, / Page 245 / Iraq, the Holy Land and Asia Minor. He eventually ended up in Damascus in Syria where he died in 1240. His travels led him to believe that God reveals himself in this world whatever one:s religion: My heart is capable of every form: A cloister for the monk, a fane for idols, A pasture for gazelles, the votary's Ka'ba [temple], The tables of the Torah, the Qur'an. Love is the creed I hold: wherever turn His camels, Love is still my creed and faith.2 As a devout if unorthodox Muslim; he made the great pilgrimage to Mecca. But his real travelling was within. From an early age, he experienced visions of divine light. Indeed, his works - which run to more than 400 - are records of his spiritual development and inner transformation. Ibn 'Arabi wrote no direct works on practical alchemy, but the spirit of spiritual alchemy pervades his writings. In his Bezels of Wisdom. (Fusus al-hikam) and the Meccan Revelations (al-Futahat al Makkiya), he expressed his belief in the Oneness of Being: the One in the Many and the Many in the One. He gave the most important exposition of this central Sufi conception of nature in terms drawn from the Qur'an and from the Hermetic sources. There is no separation of God from the Creation; he is the Creation. All things and beings are his emanations. Whereas the Qur'an says: 'there is but one God', Ibn- , Arabi asserts: 'there is nothing but God'.3 He rejects the notion of there being any intermediaries such as a First Cause or Demiurge; there is but the 'One and Only'. God is Light and the objects in the world - animals, trees, microbes - are all manifestations of His Light. In the Meccan Revelations, Ibn , Arabi describes the resplendent vision which the blessed can hope to experience as they gather on a snow-white hill in the presence of God: 'The Divine light pervades the beings of the elect and radiates from them, reflected as if by mirrors, on everything around them. The spiritual enjoyment produced by the contemplation of this reflection is even greater than that of the Vision itself.'4 At the same time, the notion of the Logos or the Word plays an important part in Ibn ' Arabi's thought. The archetypes of all things are aspects of God's Names and Qualities which exist in a latent state in the Divine InteHect. God gives them being so that they become / Page 246 / manifested, yet what is seen in the sensible world is only the shadow of the archetypes. The Qur'an says that the Absolute reveals itself in ninety-nine Divine Names but Ibn 'Arabi suggests that they are num- berless. The Logos, however, consists of the twenty-two Divine Names which take the form of different energies and are manifestations of the divine essence. The 'Great Waves', he says, are called gold and silver. They are all expressed in the spirit of Muhammad who is the supreme model of the Perfect Man (a/-lnsan a/-kami/).5 He is an ideal which ordinary humans can emulate in the processing of realizing their divine nature. By reaching the centre of himself, the seeker has knowl-edge of God and of all things. In the Qur'an, it is written: 'He who knows himself knows his Lord.' The more one approaches one's inner reality, the more one is in tune with the cosmos. As humans we descend from the Absolute - a devolution - but we can also ascend to the Absolute - an evolution - with the Perfect Man as our ideal. This involves the Sufi goal of 'passing away' (al-fana) which is not so much an annihilation of the self but the passing away of ignorance and a growing awareness of the oneness of all things. Ibn ' Arabi says that you must 'die before you die', that is, pass away from the illusion of separateness. He uses the metaphor of a mirror to illustrate this point. When a person of ordinary intellect looks at a mirror he sees a reflected image of himself but not the mirror. The mirror is veiled from him. But at a higher lever of understanding, the mirror is not a veil for in it he sees not only himself but the Form of the Absolute assuming his own form. Indeed, God is never to be seen in immaterial form. 'The sight of God in woman,' Ibn ' Arabi says, 'is the most perfect of all.'6 In the Qur'an it is written: 'All men are asleep; only when they die do they wake up.' Ibn ' Arabi went further and said: 'The whole of life is a dream within a dream.' He also calls this world the 'shadow' of God: the archetypes are dark because they are distant from the light of Being just as a faraway mountain appears black. But even when we wake up and mystically experience the Absolute in 'unveiling' (kashf) and 'immediate tasting' (dhaq), the Absolute is unknowable in itself, and remains the mystery of mysteries.7 It was the aim of Ibn ' Arabi's life, as it was with all the Sufis, to stand in the light of God. Dreams and visions played a particularly important role for him: they are the 'inward eye' of the heart through which one can see everyday experiences as reflections of the archetypal / Page 247 / ideas of the Absolute. He relates one such vision in the Journey through the Night (Kitab al-isra) which describes the ascent of the body to the Throne of Light through the seven heavens where he meets different prophets (including Idris-Hermes). On the journey, he is asked: Tell me, friend, which place you want me to take you to. . . -I want to go to the city of the Messenger, in search Of the Station of Radiance and the Red Sulphur. Red Sulphur is clearly a synonymior the Philosopher:s Stone. I found the work to be a wonderful example of spiritual alchemy. The journey not only has the goal of finding the Red Sulphur but clearly reflects the different stages of the alchemical process in spiritual terms. It begins with the dissolution of the seeker's corporeal nature and the release of his spirit, which is then followed by a period of punishment by fire. He continues the ascent through the heavens until eventually he becomes 'nothing but light' in the seventh heaven. He then obtains the meaning of all the Divine Names and sees that they all 'referred to one and the same Object Named and to a single Essence: this Named was the object of my contemplation, and this Essence was my very own being'. Ibn ' Arabi realizes that the whole journey is within, a process of realizing his true self: 'The journey I had made was only inside myself, and it was towards myself that I had been guided: from this I knew that I was a servant in a state of purity, without the slightest trace of sovereignty.'8 He discovers the Red Sulphur and is totally transformed by the experience. It is a moment of absolute knowledge of the self and of the universe: 'For when you know yourself, your -"I-ness" vanishes and you know that you and God are one and the same.'9 The quest for the Red Sulphur is not so much the attainment of a goal, but simply the realization of who and where you are, of rediscovering your essential nature as part of the Oneness of Being. On reading the work, I felt that Ibn ' Arabi had truly attained the goal of spiritual alchemy, union with the divine ground of our being and a vision of eternity. The supreme experience still eluded me but at least I had a stronger sense of the goal and of what I might expect. Despite their different historical and cultural backgrounds, I was struck by the similarities between Sufi and Taoist spiritual alchemy and between their greatest exponents Ibn ' Arabi and Lao Tzu. While / Page 248 / the former was prolific and the latter wrote nothing they seem to have come to the same conclusions about the inner transformation of the sage or Perfect Man. Although they believed that the Absolute or the Tao existed, the ultimate ground of existence remained the mystery of mysteries for both of them.10 I felt they had both touched on funda-mental truths about the universe and our place within it which are valid for all cultures and times. Despite the struggle between the Christian kings and the Muslim caliphs in Spain, there were periods of peace when there was consider- able coming and going of Christian scholars to the Islamic centres of learning across the wavering frontiers. They were not only eager to obtain Arabic translations of Greek works of philosophy, but keen to acquaint themselves with the Muslim contribution to science in general and to alchemy in particular which was an entirely new subject for them. The first Arabic work on alchemy to appear in Latin manuscripts in Europe in the thirteenth century was the anonymous Turba Philosophorum, or The Assembly of the Sages, a remarkable work of great philosophical interest and literary merit. It may well have been written around 900 by Uthman ibn Suwaid, of Akhmin in Egypt. The author quotes from the Alexandrian alchemists so he must have been in touch with the fountainhead of the Hermetic tradition in Egypt. Hermes and Zosimus are mentioned and Panoflus cites the famous triadic formula attributed to Ostanes and first mentioned by the Alexandrian alchemist Democritus: 'Nature rejoices in Nature, Nature contains Nature, and Nature overcomes Nature.'11 The Turba takes the form of a dialogue between twelve philoso-phers who meet to discuss the nature of alchemy. The speeches are full of rhetorical flourishes and are often addressed to 'O, all ye Seekers after this Art'. The sages have Greek names and some refer to real historical characters, such as Pythagoras, Socrates, Aristotle and Democritus. The author clearly knew his early Greek philosophy for they express theories which they were reported to have espoused. Pythagoras, for example, discusses the relations between numbers and the 'alchemical symbol of Man'. In fact, the Turba is the earliest evidence of Greek philosophy in Arabic literature.12 But while the Hermetic cosmology is given as a context for alchemy, the author makes his Islamic faith clear. He asserts that nature is uniform, that all / Page 249 / creatures of the upper and lower world are composed of four elements, but also that the creator of the world was Allah. The work contained the first full discussion of the Philosopher's Stone that I had come across since Zosimus. The philosopher Belus declares: A report has gone abroad that the Hidden Glory of the Philos-opher is a stone and not a stone, and that it is called by many names, lest the foolish should recognise it. Certain wise men have designated it after one fashion, namely, according to the place where it is generated; others have adapted another, founded upon its colour, some of whom have termed it the Green Stone; by some other it is called -the Stone of the most intense Spirit of Brass, not to be mixed with bodies. . . some have distinguished it astronom-ically or arithmetically; it has already received a thousand titles, of which the best is: - 'That which is produced out of metals'. So also others have called it the Heart of the Sun, and yet others ha-ve declared it to be that which is brought out of quicksilver with the milk of volatile things.13 At first sight all this is very bewildering, but the names are not mutually exclusive; indeed, they describe different aspects and properties of the Philosopher's Stone. This is made clear at the end of the work by Agmon, who suggests that the names are multiplied so that the 'vulgar' might be deceived. Rest assured, he tells us, that 'the Stone is one thing'. But how can we recognize it? By its properties, of course, which are indeed impressive: The strength thereof, shall never be corrupted, but the same, when it is placed in the fire, shall be increased. If you seek to dissolve it, it shall be dissolved; but if you would coagulate it, it shall be coagulated. Behold, no one is without it, and yet all do need it! There are many names given to it, and yet it is called by one only, while, if need be, it is concealed. It is also a Stone and not a stone, spirit, soul and body; it is white, volatile, concave, hairless, cold, and yet no one can apply the tongue with impunity to its surface. If you wish that it should fly, it flies; if you say that it is not water, you speak falsely.14 It is clear here that the Islamic alchemists saw their art as a form of spiritual transformation in the same way as the ancient Egyptians. / Page 250 / What a:pplies to metals also applies to humans. The 'Philosopher' mentioned in the following passage would seem to be our old friend Zosimus: the definition of the Art is the liquefaction of the body and the separation of the soul from the body, seeing copper, like man, has a soul and a body. Therefore, it behoves you, O all ye seekers of the Doc-trine, to destroy the body and extract the soul therefrom! Wherefore the Philosopher said that the body does not penetrate the body, but that there is a subtle nature, which is the soul, and it is that which tinges and penetrates the body. In nature, therefore, there is a body and a soul.15 The Turba Philosophorum played a pivotal role in the transition. of Egyptian alchemy via the Muslims to Europe. It also ensured the continuity of the Hermetic tradition. Its special combination of philos- ophy, religion and science became typical of medieval European alchemy. The other famous text bequeathed by the Islamic alchemists to the West is the Tabula Smaragdina, better known as the Emerald Tablet. In my opinion, it is the most profound single work of spiritual alchemy to emerge from the whole Hermetic tradition. An Arabic version exists in the works of Jabir which dates it to at least the eighth century. Translated from Arabic into Latin, it was reprinted countless times in the Middle Ages in Europe. It is one of the most influential documents to emerge from the Hermetic tradition and a key text in the under- standing of all subsequent alchemy. Nothing stands so powerfully as the words themselves: The Words of the Secret Things of Hermes Trismegistus
1. True it is, without falsehood, certain and most true. That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above, to accomplish the miracles of the one thing. 2. And as all things were by the contemplation of the one, so all things arose from this one thing by a single act of adaptation. 3. The father thereof is the Sun, the mother the Moon. 4. The Wind carried it in its womb, the Earth is the nurse thereof. / Page 251 / 5. It is the father of all the works of wonder throughout the whole world. 6. The power thereof is perfect. 7. If it be cast on to the Earth, it will separate the element of the Earth from that of Fire, the subtle from the gross. 8. With great sagacity it doth ascend gently from Earth to Heaven. 9. Again it doth descend to the Earth, and uniteth in itself the force from things superior and things inferior. 10. Thus. thou wilt possess the glory of the brightness of the whole world, and all obscurity will fly from thee. 11. This thing is the strong fortitude of all strength, for it overcometh every subtle thing and doth penetrate every solid substance. 12. Thus was the world created. 13. Hence there will be marvellous adaptations achieved, of which the manner is this. 14. For this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistus, because I hold three parts of the wisdom of the whole world. 15. That which I had to say about the operation of the Sol is completed.16 The work is attributed to our old friend Hermes Trismegistus the 'Thrice-blessed' who has 'three parts of the wisdom of the whole world' and access to the three realms of being: the earth, the Under-world and the heavens. There have been countless interpretations of the Emerald Tablet and I thought long and hard about the elusive meaning of this mystical text. First, I found a familiar idea from ancient Egypt: 'that which is above is like to that which is below' or, to put it more succinctly: 'As above, so below.' The same forces work through the earth as they do throughout heaven, in the microcosm of humanity and in the macro-cosm of the universe. There is a correspondence and a sympathy between the two which only have the appearance of separation: 'that which is below is like to that which is above'. What are the miracles of the one thing'? They are the miracles of the universe as a whole, of its unity in diversity, of the fact that All - is One, and One is All, 'as all things were by the contemplation of the one'. A single consciousness permeates all beings and things, known as God, anima mundi, Universal Mind, Great Spirit, world./ Page 252 / soul. In the Hermetic tradition the universe is often represented by the circle, the symbol of eternity and of gold. . What follows next in the Emerald Tablet would seem to be a version of the creation myth of ancient Egypt. Re, symbolized by the sun, told the names of the creation to Thoth, symbolized by the moon, who by uttering them brought them into existence - the 'single act of adaptation'. The Wind is the goddess Nut, and the nurse is Earth, the god Geb, reversing as the ancient Egyptians did the familiar notion of mother earth and father sky. At the same time, this would seem to be an alchemical allegory of the chemical wedding of the sun and the moon, Sol and Luna, who represent the universal male and female principles as well as gold and silver, sulphur and mercury. They produce the 'one thing', the power of which is perfect - the Philosopher's Stone. If cast on earth (prima materia) it dissolves it, separating the 'element of the Earth from that of Fire, the subtle from the gross'. In the process of distillation, it ascends to heaven (as vapour) and descends to earth (as sublimate). In addition, it unites through coagulation 'the force from things superior and things inferior', the great and the small. Of course, the whole alchemical process of the transformation of the elements is a spiritual allegory, describing the separation of the soul from the body ('the subtle from the gross') and its transformation into a purer form. If the work is successful, you become enlightened: 'all obscurity will fly far from thee'. What does the Emerald Tablet tell us about the nature of the Philosopher's Stone? It focuses the power of the universal mind, it is 'the strong fortitude of aIr strength, for it overcometh every subtle thing and doth penetrate every solid substance'. The alchemist thus mirrors the work of the Creator in the Creation; 'thus was the world created'. And if the alchemist can discover the Philosopher's Stone he or she will be able to achieve 'marvellous adaptations', not only wit~ matter, but also with spirit, not only in the laboratory but in him or herself and in the world at large. In a sense, the writing of the Emerald Tablet is an alchemical experiment itself. At the end, the Great Work is done. Thus Hermes finishes by saying: 'That which I had to say about the operation of the Sol is completed.' Throughout the Emerald Tablet there is a deep awareness of the beauty and magnificence of the Creation. It celebrates 'all the works of / Page 253 / wonder throughout the whole world' and 'the glory and the brightness of the whole world' which the enlightened and transformed person, awakened from the dark slumber of ignorance, freed from the dross of material things, will be able to contemplate. It charts the voyage of the soul as it returns to its divine ground across the sea of materiality. The exact origins of the Emerald Tablet are not clear. One probably Jewish legend claims that it was discovered by Sara, the wife of Abraham, who entered a cave near Hebron after the Flood and found it engraved in Phoenician characters on an emerald plate held in the hands of the corpse of Hermes Trismegistus. Other European commentators in the Middle Ages ascribed it to Alexander the Great or to the Pythagorean sage Apollonius of Tyana, giving it a Greek rather than a Middle Eastern origin.17 An Arabic writer, on the other hand, claims that there were three philosophers called Hermes, one who built the pyramids in Egypt (Thoth?), one who came from Babylon and who taught Pythagoras, and a third who lived in Egypt and wrote on alchemy. In fact, the 'three' Hermes would seem to describe the ancient origins, diffusion and continuity of the Hermetic tradition. The exact date and authorship of the Emerald Tablet are also unknown. Apart from the abridged Arabic text of it discovered in the works ascribed to Jabir, a version came to light in The Secret of Creation, wrongly attributed to Apollonius of Tyana, which was written in the ninth century.18 It was probably translated from Syriac but may have been based on a much earlier Greek original. Whatever the exact origins of the text, when it was translated into Latin by Hugh of Santillana in the twelfth century, it became the bible of the medieval alchemists in Europe. It remains the greatest document of the Hermetic tradition. But where did all this leave me in my search for the Philosopher's Stone? I had heard again the elusive voice of Zosimus in the Turba that it 'is a stone and not a stone'. I had been told by the Emerald Tablet that 'it overcometh every subtle thing'. But. would obscurity ever fly from me? Would I really be able to witness those 'marvellous adaptations' held tantalizingly before my vision? Would I ever on my journey find the Red Sulphur of Ibn ' Arabi and the divine light deep within myself? I decided to continue my quest amongst the extraordi-nary characters and arcane texts which brought alchemy from the Middle East to Europe in the twelfth century."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia One Thousand and One Nights (Arabic:Alf Laylah wa-Laylah)[1] is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights, from the first English-language edition (c. 1706–1721), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment.[2]
