The Emerald Tablets of Thoth The Atlantean by Doreal, Dr. M [Dog Ear Publishing,2006] (Hardcover)

I have read quite a few books about the Hermetica and the occult in general but nothing like the Emerald Tablets... Because I just embarked into my spiritual journey, I'm not sure what's a pearl of knowledge or what's pure fantasy. Is this book really what it means to be or not? Let's see...Who's the author?The author is the obscure Dr. M. Doreal a member of the Brotherhood of the White Temple who has connections to the Great White Lodge. Upon further inspection I found out that actually his real name was Claude D. Dodgin and he is the founder of the Brotherhood of the White Temple. The Doctor title he holds I could not confirm unfortunately. The other society I mentioned, the Great White Lodge, is not real in a physical sense of things, but is the name given by some new agers to a society of ascended masters who's watching over humans's spiritual progress and evolution.Then we have the following case: Mr. Claude - now Dr. Doreal, founder of a spiritual society was entrusted by ascended spirits to collect and translate the tablets and release them to the public. We don't have access to the original tablets and nothing about the extinct atlantean language.What are the tablets?The tablets were supposedly written by Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god which carved his words into an indestructible surface of emerald green. In these tablets we learn about Thoth's background as an atlantean priest, the fall of Atlantis, the civilizing of the primitive Egyptians by the surviving atlanteans led by Thoth and Hermetic teachings.Contrary to what you may know about Thoth, in the tablets he is the son of an atlantean priest - Thothme - and later becomes an initiate. When Thoth reached manhood he was summoned by the Dweller (of the temple) which gave him the key of life.The Atlanteans were playing with forbidden magic and the gods of time decided to destroy them. Thoth and a few atlanteans fled on a space ship and colonized Egypt where he teaches the ancients science, philosophy and etc...ConclusionThe fact that the book claims to be based on real tablets revealed by Thoth is in itself an extraordinary event. The author, or the translator in this case, is as obscure as the tablets themselves. Nothing really new is being introduced to the reader apart from the link between Thoth and Atlantis.If Thoth had authored these tablets, I'd expect something akin to Shakespeare in quality and as elaborate as John Milton's paradise lost - he's the thrice great isn't he?I will conclude with Thoth's own statement from the Tablets:"Know ye, O people amongst whom I walk, that I, Thoth, have all of the knowledge and all of the wisdom known to man since the ancient days."

An astro-theological treatise that synchronizes with all world myths and religions. If your still having trouble with the book, I recommend watching Santos Bonacci on youtube. Watch the ancient theology presentation, then read the tablets again and you will start to pierce the veil. The master teacher is you. You are the one you have been waiting to return. You are a young star. Listen to your soul and look past the illusion of flesh, the flesh is temporary but your soul is eternal.

To the uninitiated this book is a collection of mystic ramblings that make little to no sense. Like what one reviewer pointed out, writings like these have multiple levels. How many levels you decipher depends entirely upon where you are at in your spiritual development.Analogies are helpful here. For instance, formal education today will not blindly throw you into an advanced physics class without some "introductory" courses. Why? Because you're not ready.The same idea here.With great knowledge, however, comes great responsibility. If a person is not ready, then he or she can blindly believe just about anything and, therefore, misunderstand a great deal. Without proper discipline and training, the content in this text--and those like it--are harmful. In today's Information Age we are blessed with a vast electronic library of information we never had before, but with this blessing comes the curse of too much information for too many people who lack the discipline to use it wisely and effectively.My point? This text is more than what many realize it is. A healthy dose of skepticism is good. I recommend that. Too much skepticism creates cynicism, which means you're not ready. On the flip side, too much optimism is equally harmful. One will have a better time appreciating an "advanced" text like this if he or she reads more comprehensible texts first and moves up to something of this type/level.How? Well, that's for another post some other time. And this is neither the time nor place.One additional comment: Doreal and his Colorado organization should be given the full force of your skepticism. While reading this text, I recommend that you skip Doreal's interpretations. Interpret for yourself what you think is being said in the writings. I used to be a member of Doreal's organization, and although I feel it has good intentions, I question its methods and thus its greater contributions to humanity.Honestly, this text is old, very old. The content might've been tampered with over time, and how Doreal actually got ahold of it is something I'll remain skeptical of for awhile. Maybe his story is true, maybe not. The content, however--after considerable research--is something I'm convinced is quite old and legitimate. If you have read other works similar to it, you'll understand what I mean. There are numerous references to Egyptian/Hermetic ideologies that are too spot on for me to deny its accuracy.Allow me to add some notes for clarification, though:NOTE 1: It is possible, of course, that this text was "channeled", but that doesn't (and I say this with all honesty) discredit it. Truth comes through many avenues and forms. Even great scientists have given credit to serendipity for their discoveries, which is along similar lines.NOTE 2: A caveat, however: I have purchased the hardcover as well as the softcover and have noticed numerous writing errors as well as inconsistencies. In some cases the writing seems purposely rewritten to "sound" archaic. If this text is so sacred and, therefore, vital to the organization promoting it, then why the sloppiness in its translation and construction? Arguably, one could say the situation is much like what the Christian monks did when they rewrote ancient works, inserting their own interpretations and scribbling over errors--or what they deemed to be errors.NOTE 3: Some parts are easily connected to Jewish mysticism, numerology, and the Corpus Hermeticum, while other parts are entirely unique. I theorize that some of this text is utterly contrived to serve some personal agenda, while other parts are genuinely the words of ancient wisdom teachers. Was this by accident? Arguably, no. Mystery School teachings often involved "false doors" as well as genuine entrances into deeper chambers that contained writings for deeper meditations. On the other hand, this could be the result of tampering with ancient works or creating something based upon other writings, then claiming it as the works of Thoth himself.NOTE 4: Like I mentioned earlier, though, there are multiple levels to this text. The deeper/technological aspect of this text is the most extraordinary and--as a result--the most dangerous. It's hidden in plain sight really, which is what makes me think this Doreal perhaps didn't understand what he really had or he was blatantly irresponsible.NOTE 5: There is little about him (Doreal) out there, so I admit these are pure theories of mine about him, not solid facts. In all fairness, I have to concede this much.In the end, the content will contain its own merit. Evaluate it for yourself and see what you can find. I will not say more because it wouldn't do any good anyway. You are your own light in this cave of mysteries ... and this text is a very tangled cave.

I have the audiobook version of this and listen to it often. I enjoy having the book as well so I can go back and reread passages as well. Every time I read it I learn something new. Sometimes it’s just gaining a deeper understanding of what has already been said. Great book. So many wonderful bits of wisdom. I highly recommend it to anyone on the path to inner learning.

The Emerald Tablets of Thoth, the Atlantean proceeds ALL ancient wisdom teachings, and should be read by all serious seekers of the primal history of civilization. It answers many questions and elevates one's consciousness to a far higher level. True wisdom and knowledge cannot be known without a serious study of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth!

as a seeker of the light this is a must read.a rare find not tainted by religious limited thinking.its not easy finding spiritual informations that has not been corrupted by man.this tablet is an exception.

I'm really happy I got this book, reading it revitalises and reinvigorates the dreams and fantasy we all used to have. Who knows, perhaps they'll find their way into reality for us. I believe. I shall try.

A newly discovered jewel 💎 together with the kybalion that reinforces my belief systems and puts them into a harmonious whole
