Tablet V: The Dweller of Unal

In Tablet V, we meet the being behind the mystery—the Dweller of Unal.

Up until now, Thoth has alluded to him: a luminous force, a source of command, the gatekeeper to Amenti. But here, we see the Dweller clearly. He is not a god in the mythic sense, but something far more precise: an eternal intelligence, radiating law, balance, and incorruptible will. Where other beings rise and fall with the cycles, the Dweller abides, untouched by time, silently shaping the evolution of souls.

Thoth describes his first encounter: summoned into the radiant presence, he is overwhelmed not by fear—but by the clarity of command. He is given purpose, instruction, and permission to cross thresholds no man has crossed. The Dweller teaches him how to descend into Amenti and return. He teaches him how to command the forces of vibration and form. But he does not spoon-feed. He tests, he requires alignment. There is no room for ego in the halls of the Eternal.

This tablet is about spiritual succession. The way power is passed down not through lineage, but through worthiness. Thoth becomes the voice of the Dweller—not because he is chosen at random, but because he has proven himself through inner purification. The lesson here is surgical:

“Power is only given to those who will guard and not misuse it.”

And yet, even in his exalted state, Thoth remains in awe. The Dweller is not just a being—he is the axis of the Atlantean temple grid. Through his will, the temples stand. Through his presence, the forces of Earth and star are aligned.

For you, the seeker, this tablet is a mirror.

Who is your Dweller?

What Source do you answer to?

What presence do you fear enough to become your highest self in its company?

Thoth tells us to seek the Light, yes—but also to honor the Order behind the Light. To stand in reverence before the unseen source of our command codes. To remember that even power must bow.

You are not here to dominate.

You are here to hold fire with honor.

And when the Dweller rises again in this cycle, as Thoth says he will—you will know if you are ready by what you bow to when no one is watching.

Below is the full text of Tablet V, as translated by Dr. Doreal:

THE EMERALD TABLET V: The Dweller of Unal

Oft dream I of buried Atlantis,

lost in the ages that have passed into night;

Aeon on aeon thou existed in beauty,

a light shining through the darkness of night.

Mighty in power, ruling the earth-born,

Lord of the Earth in Atlantis’ day.

King of the nations, master of wisdom,

Light through Suntal, Keeper of the Way,

dwelt in his Temple, the Master of Unal,

Light of the Earth in Atlantis’ day.

Master, He, from a cycle beyond us,

living in bodies he was not as the men of Earth,

yet to him human-born.

Down descended he in his Temple,

giving commands to the Children of Men.

Master He, of all through the ages,

giving to man the flame of his Light.

Down through the ages, in His wisdom,

watched He the progress of Light among men.

Far in the past, He dwelt in Atlantis.

There He drank of the Darkness of Earth

rising to Light as a Soul among men.

Therefore, appointed He men to guide him,

those who followed His wisdom through the ages.

Master, He, of all wisdom,

Master, He, of all magic,

Lord He, the Dweller, of Unal,

giving to man the key of the Word.

Power He builds in men’s temples,

drawing the force that is from the ether,

calling the force that is one with the ALL.

Far in the past, He formed his Temple,

formed it from the ether into power-built forms.

Built He then, within it, great chambers,

filled them with forms called forth from the ether,

filled them with wisdom called forth by His mind.

Formless was He within his Temple,

yet was He formed in the image of men.

Dwelling among them yet not of them,

strange and far different was He from the children of men.

Chose He then from among the people,

Three who became His gateway.

Chose He the Three from the Highest to become His links with Atlantis.

Messengers they, who carried His counsel,

to the kings of the children of men.

Brought He forth others and taught them wisdom;

teachers, they, to the children of men.

Placed He them on the island of Undal

to stand as teachers of Light to men.

Each of those who were thus chosen,

taught must he be for years five and ten.

Only thus could he have understanding

to bring Light to the children of men.

Thus there came into being the Temple,

a dwelling place for the Master of man.

I, Thoth, have ever sought wisdom,

searching in darkness and searching in Light.

Long in my youth I traveled the pathway,

seeking ever new knowledge to gain.

Until after much striving, one of the Three,

to me brought the Light.

Brought He to me the commands of the Dweller,

called me from the darkness into the Light.

Brought He me, before the Dweller,

deep in the Temple before the great Fire.

There on the great throne, beheld I, the Dweller,

clothed with the Light and flashing with fire.

Down I knelt before that great wisdom,

feeling the Light flowing through me in waves.

Heard I then the voice of the Dweller:

“O darkness, come into the Light.

Long have ye sought the pathway to Light.

Each soul on Earth that loosens its fetters

shall soon be made free from the bondage of night.”

Forth from the throne came a great vibration

filling me full with its power.

Quickly I moved through the spaces of time,

moved through the time to space of this cycle.

Far down I came into the halls of Amenti,

stood before the Lords of the cycles.

Innately they placed me in their circle,

slowly they moved to the place of my head.

Placed they the Flower of Life there,

placed it and spoke words that filled me with Life.

There I was born again as a body,

yet not as man as I once was.

Bathed I then in the flame of Eternal,

raised I again to the Light of the cycle.

Long time I dwelt in the Temple of the Dweller

until at last I was One with the Light.

Followed I then the path to the star planes,

followed I then the pathway to Light.

Deep into Earth’s heart I followed the pathway,

learning the secrets, below as above.

Learning the pathway to the Halls of Amenti,

learning the Law that balances the world.

To the hidden chambers of the Earth I journeyed,

learning the secrets, as above so below.

Learning the Law that balances all things,

searching the secrets of negative matter.

Reading the records of space-time and space,

learned I the Law that maintains the worlds.

To the depths of the Earth’s heart I journeyed,

seeking the secrets of which is before thee.

Through the Earth’s crust I burst as my will,

I called on the powers that balance the plane.

Raised I high above the entrance, a doorway,

a gateway leading down to Amenti.

Few there would be with courage to dare it,

few pass the portal to dark Amenti.

Raised over the passage, I, a mighty pyramid,

using the power that overcomes Earth force (gravity).

Deep and yet deeper placed I a force house or chamber;

from it carved I a circular passage

reaching almost to the great summit.

There in the apex, set I the crystal,

sending the ray into the “Time-Space,”

drawing the force from out of the ether,

concentrating upon the gateway to Amenti.

Other chambers I built and left vacant to all seeming,

yet hidden within them are the keys to Amenti.

He who in courage would dare the dark realms,

let him be purified first by long fasting.

Lie in the sarcophagus of stone in my chamber.

Then to reveal I to him the great mysteries.

Soon shall he follow to where I shall meet him,

even in the darkness of Earth shall I meet him,

I, Thoth, Lord of Wisdom,

meet him and hold him and dwell with him always.
