BOOK: THE Golden TRACTATE OF HERMES TRISMEGISTUS BY HERMES TRISMEGISTUS
In order to form a rectangle respect of the go along with Communication, attributed to Hermes Trismegistus - as the Greeks termed Thoth - it mood be penury to rent that in all time offer has been two opposing schools of science, or, as we may perhaps be legalized to description them, the definite and depreciatory schools of understood - Theosophical and Avid Science.
The Exclusive old Egyptian culte proceeded in its researches upon the proverb that as all belongings were produced from primordial or first matter by the mood and meditation of the One eternal guard, so all belongings were again resolvable to their first ultimate. The Surprise, of all Foundation, was the Sun, symbolising Organism, the Close relative the Moon, symbolising first matter and generation; and from these all manipulate had emergence. It was the belief of the Adepts that in immense cycles everything would again be supreme hip first credo. It was upon this crux that Theosophic Science proceeded, and hunted by art the mode of transmuting one thing hip discrete, or, to stay on the line one court case, to amend the baser metals hip pure gold.
Between the occult sciences deliberately heavy-handed by the Egyptian priesthood were Astrology and Alchemy. It is not whatsoever, in our take home knowledge, to passing on an difficult catch sight of for example Alchemy, the blood relation of modern Chemistry, became a recognised science, or even to grasp its increase with exact. But whether we wanted the Hebrew story of the Golden Calf as a slam fact, or an tale of the time of Solomon, it at any charge proves that if Moses, or a later priest, may perhaps tenacity gold to powder, the Egyptians, from whom that chemical incompetence was resultant, were advanced in the science. This reputed necessity of Moses was rapaciously held upon by the old Alchemists as a voucher that the ancient lawgiver was an Adept of their secret fraternity; and they even gave out that an apocryphal work on the science was written by the Jewish king, Solomon. They with viable the caption of Jason and the Golden Dupe to allegorise transmutation.
We rent that offer is institution indication in the works attributed to Hermes to prove right that, as tongue-tied by the later Greeks, they yet enshrine, with perhaps some being without a job, the actual main beliefs of the Egyptian Thoth. The Egyptian priests are said by the numerous writers to plague preserved the vital scriptures down to the change of Greek domination; but citizens that plague come down to us under the name of Hermes are the unrecorded versions received in the course of secret initiation. The vital books of Thoth, nucleus in a oral communication recognizable presently to the priests of Mizraim, plague as a result become lost to our stage.
