The emerald tablet is a waist of time and research.The quotes go far back but the emerald tablet myth is just that a myth but there are certain things that go beyond myth and fiction.I luv discussions on the philosophers stone to me its quit interesting.The myth of the stone goes far back way beyond egypt.The true stone was a spiritual foundation of hidden knowledge built by the philosophers upon the grounds of religion.It was said the stone was the foundation of something real something that if sought after would be hard to understand because what you can achieve.Like the old bible quote" building a church on this rock" its a foundation that never breaks and lifts the human soul to the divine state of being this is also water'd down by many other groups that lead people astray with promising things but in reality it is nothing but lies to get people to spend their money and blind people in the process.Religion in general is very misleading because man is trying to teach man about how the bible is supposed to be tought and in the process man changes the bible to fit his way of teaching it when all they are doing is twisting the story on how it should be tought.I can tell you once I found the both stones yes the metallurgic concept of changing the molecules of certain metals to form gold and YES it does work and is an awesome effect to transpire and to watch.The concept was that if the soul could undergo a transformation such as this than you should be able to transform the impure to pure and so alchemists began the experiments as well as the secret stone which hardly no one knows about the myth behind
an alchemists potion that if made correctly would make the drinker live longer basically the fountain of youth myth but its real thats why the myth got started.The potion is suppose to attack the aging process and stop it in its tracks they made movies on it one such movie with this kinda potion is "Death becomes her" but this was a real thing and if you study right you can find the alchemists who experimented with it because they move around alot in history and change their names because as their friends die off they did not want to be seen because people would start to ask questions on to how and why are they outliving me?I'm getting off subject sorry.But the philosophers stone is very intriguing the secret on the human soul and its evolution to a GOD and yes you heard me right a GOD not THE GOD but a GOD a title that lucifer,satan whatever you wish to call him throughout history that is the position he held until he fell from grace and when he did it opened this position and this is the real philosophers stone the understanding of this will open a door your mind will never perceive because it is the reason why we feel within ourselves there is something great to life I will leave you with this to ponder about and if your interested on knowing more then write me this is coming strait from the bible which people tend to push aside but its not well understood.

alatians 4:4-7

4But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, 5to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. 6Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba,[a] Father." 7So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.

hmm an heir to what you might ask make you wonder yet :) look up the definition of heir it says:

1 : one who inherits or is entitled to inherit property
2 : one who inherits or is entitled to succeed to a hereditary rank, title, or office <heir to the throne>
3 : one who receives or is entitled to receive some endowment or quality from a parent or predecessor

now read this and for those initiated into such secrets you will understand me on what I say on others this will only make you look deeper into the stone

THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE

Revelation 2:7

7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

Revelation 2:11

11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.

Revelation 2:17

17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.

Revelation 2:26-29

26To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—
27'He will rule them with an iron scepter;
he will dash them to pieces like pottery'[a]— just as I have received authority from my Father. 28I will also give him the morning star. 29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Revelation 3:5-6

5He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels. 6He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Revelation 3:21-22

21To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

Revelation 21:7

7He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

the understanding of this will open another door yet to be sought after but if you do you will see wonders that you only dream about what I give here is real whether you believe me is up to you but won't you be ashamed if you get over on the other side of reality and find out it would be real this is something else to ponder on for a while.

I was quite impressed by your offering to this thread.

I would have to think about it. Are there any basic concepts left out that can be expressed in human terms?
