The Emerald Tablet and the Secrets of Alchemy

I was originally going to make a Discord announcement video, but I thought, hey, let’s spice things up with some alchemy! After you finish watching, hop on into the Mr. Mythos Discord 🔥 bit.ly/mrmythosdiscord 🔥

Also check out my video "The Sleeping Prophet of Atlantis" which touches on the Emerald Tablet's possible Atlantean connection! 🧿 https://youtu.be/9lDGT7qqrlw

maybe the real philosopher’s stone was the friendships we made along the way

Mr Mythos really has the best production out there. Just and absolute cut above anyone else in the business, even the corporate tv channels. I’m sad that I mostly listen to his work in the car so I often miss out on his superb editing.

As above so below: entering in sync, getting “tuned”, we feel it when we’re doing something meaningful that “helps develop our soul / transform a base substance into something precious”. “Soul growth” is far more rewarding than simply getting financially rich, as the narrow mind conceives success. And all we need to a change of mindset, some courage and a few people to guide us to our own growth 👍🏼

My interpretation of, "as above, so below" is that a person can make their own heaven on earth. They don't have to wait until they die to be in heaven.

I think it's an early articulation of the idea that our universe has a "source code", and that we may be able to know and manipulate things according to a structure that is universally ultimate and not as drastically spontaneous as we once believed. This likely led to the idea of science.

Mister Mythos, I absolutely have to hand it to you... the channel, your content, your unbiased delivery, and just the overall atmosphere of your channel is a breath of comforting air. You aren't just a deep thinker - or philosopher I should say - but a *clear* thinker AND philosopher - which is by far, an absolute rarity these days (thus the admiration!). Thank you, as always, and I am more than happy to support your cause.. until as they say *the damn wheels fall off!!!* 😎

All I know is that some kid and his brother were able to bring an arm back and his brother's body back while beating up a perfect evil clone of his father.

I had a legitimate spiritual experience watching this. This was a catalyst for it. The next step along the journey. It was part of the process that continues to unfold in life. It took me almost an hour to get through this video. I had to pause and go back many times to look within for things to become more clear. The words of the tablet are like this video, and this comment. Merely a catalyst for people to look within and ask themselves "why?" then "how?". I had a "conversation" with "myself". However, it felt more like a dialogue. The answers weren't always in words, but they could be transcribed into words with some effort and creativity.

Still, it was all too much to truly convey here so that someone who hadn't experienced it could understand firsthand just from reading this. The words themselves hold no power or meaning without the context of the experience. They were like placeholders or reminders for the true depth and scope of the concepts they tried to convey. Words are not those things themselves. One would need more than a dictionary to apprehend their true power, as they themselves have no inherent power without the conscious awareness of being. The words are like the actions and creations they're intended to inspire. They hold the awareness and expression of "being" together. This is an ongoing process that didn't stop with any of these great philosophers and magicians. It doesn't stop with any of us.

The whole point of a life is to continue the process of being through conscious awareness and expression. To bring the concepts, ideas, awareness, power, and process of "above", "below". To change these higher truths into "earth", in which their power may become "perfect". To continue in the merging of "above" and "below" into "the one" from which they both came in an infinite process of creation. This is an ongoing process that must continue in order for "being" to continue and evolve in it's emergence. The process IS "being". The human mind and body is the alchemical vessel.

I'm well aware of how nonsensical these words may sound to those who don't look within to truly contemplate their meaning. Much like that of the tablet, these words require the conscious awareness and contemplation of "being" to take on meaning and power. I, myself, might read them back later and find that the profundity and power that previously embodied them has left. They were merely partners with the experience of the concepts they were meant to record and convey.

The power is in yourself. Your mind, body, and spirit. All wise words will tell you to look within to see beyond yourself. They are anchors, like the creation we take part in with our being, for what is above. What is above cannot continue without roots in that which is below. Nor can what is below manifest without that which is above. They are connected by the source of all creation. The one. Together, we take part in the great divine "see-saw" of "being".

The greatest obstacle to living your life with this purpose is fear. If you can live consciously and find a way to overcome your fear while maintaining the highest possible level of discernment and purpose, you will achieve in life the goal of "being", so that it may continue, above and below.


Update: This was a pretty "raw" comment I made right after the experience I attempted to describe. It's the next day and I'm "back to normal". To anyone concerned I've lost it, I'm happy to report that's not the case as I sit here sipping my coffee and reading this back in a less "altered" state. It's really hard to write stuff like this in a way that doesn't sound potentially "concerning" to most people. I got a good chuckle out of it myself but stand by the legitimacy of the experience I had. I blame the inefficiency and ambiguity of words (as well as my lack of prowess in using them) for this more than any kind of latent mental illness. For what it's worth, I still understand this stuff no better than anyone else interested in this kind of subject matter or spiritual endeavors. Having experiences related to this gives nobody any authority to be prescriptive or feel superior to anyone else. It's always prudent to keep your own discernment at the forefront when reading stuff like this. Either way, I still think it's good to contemplate this stuff and continue to look within to see what YOU can experience and come up with. Nobody else's experience or description of these matters is more important to you than your own.

The philosopher stone is ones consciousness on the highest level / freq. Being able than to turn cheap metals into gold is a metaphor / allegory, like every step is.

Would really love to see more videos diving into Hermeticism and Qabala from you. Seeing a new video from you is always the highlight of my day(:

Keep up the good work, Mr Mythos. I’m enjoying your videos.

My favorite one so far. After listening to Terrence McKenna’s take on the Gnostics and hermeticism it became one of my favorite occult subjects. Please make more videos on this! Cheers Mr. Mythos.

I follow this channel for the same reason I enjoy talking to people because sometimes I can find a great idea that helps me understand the world just a little bit better. I bring that up because I had a conversation a few years back about what the Emerald Tablet could be thanks to our love for Full Metal Alchemist and Alchemy in general and I had the epiphany that the idea of changing lead into gold wasnt a literal thing but a spiritual one and I think its the same lesson that Ed learned when he gave up his own alchemy for his brother.

To get to the point you could use it, you have to let go of any want to use it.
All gold is, is a shinny rock we are told is valuable.

The philosopher's stone doesn't actually turn lead to gold, that's a metaphor. It's meant to turn man (lead) to divine beings (gold).

Rudolph the Second pops up so much in videos like these. What wasn't the man into?

a wise man once said nothing

Every single one of your videos is thought provoking and insightful, even those that are only a few minutes long, fantastic work please keep them coming and thank you for all the hard work and effort you obviously put into them 😁👍

Interesting to note that the interpretation of it being an allegory alluding to the soul is the approach C.G. Jung had to alchemy at one time, and had it apparently partly influenced his development of his process of individuation, as described in his red book
