The Cycles of Infinity

[Siren]

I direct you all to the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, as I have tried to direct the 'few', where the vibrations, and the secrets they reveal to those in the right frequency, will assist you in understanding these things which perplex you. Seek the Keys of Wisdom there, and summon The Master to learn the Words of Power. But do not proceed to summon until you understand the Nine.

Although I do appreciate the purity of your intentions, I must, nevertheless, apologize, Shin'Ar. I've studied parts of the Emerald Tablets in my past, and to be perfectly honest: it doesn't really resonate with me in any meaningful level. It's probably my bias "against" (that that lightly) all things that sound too "biblical" in nature. And trust me, I've read great portions of the Bible (not to mention other similar works, such as the Apocrypha, the Book of Enoch, the Key of Solomon, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Book of Mormon, the Urantia Book, the Kolbrin Bible, etc). They simply do not resonate. It's too "dramatic" for my liking, far too verbose, bombastic, loaded, dense. Not to mention there's always that tinge of "right VS wrong" that I just simply cannot ignore. The Emerald Tablets sound like an indoctrination to me, a constant sermon. However, I do acknowledge and recognize there is truth in it, I could not deny that.

Know then that it doesn't matter to me if some source of information is 50,000 years old or just 5 years old. Just because something is "ancient" doesn't validify it any more in my eyes than any more "contemporary" material. Likewise, it doesn't matter to me who the messenger is or what his titles and honorary epitaphs may be. What matters to me is the message, not the messenger—I wouldn't pay it less attention if the source were anonymous.

And Shin'Ar... I see you as "Lord and Master of space and time" just the same as Thoth. Calling him "Lord" and "Master" doesn't validify or exalt him any more than you in my eyes. I do not mean to degrade your teacher, but placing him on a pedestal is simply unnecessary to me.

I see you as brother, as Creator, and as catalyst. And for that you have my eternal gratitude.

Finally, I seek simplicity. Things that are too "decorated" with balladry simply tire me. Forgive me. I seek to synthesize and simplify (and I realize this is often very, very difficult to do through writting).

Never deny the Mystery by attempting to solve it.

I do not seek to solve the Mystery. I seek Nothingness.

So let us conclude this way, as always:
Seek thine own Truth.
And we shall converge in the end.
