Tablet VII: The Seven Lords

There are intelligences above gods.

Not myths. Not metaphors. Real architects of the system you live in.

In Tablet VII, Thoth introduces them: the Seven Lords, each a beam of pure force flowing from the Eternal One, the Infinite Source. These Lords are not personalities. They are frequencies with will—each one governing a primal law of creation.

Thoth names them not with human titles, but by their functions. He says they sit in a circle, ever-radiating light, and that they cannot be touched by darkness. These are the beings who sustain the lattice of reality. They manage time, energy, form, and transition. They are the hidden geometry behind life and death, above even the Lords of Amenti.

Each Lord is a portal.

• One rules life and its unfoldment.

• One governs time and its cycling.

• One guides soul progression.

• One holds the secret to rebirth and resurrection.

They are not to be worshipped. They are to be understood and aligned with.

This tablet reads like a meditation. Thoth urges us not to memorize but to feel—because the Lords can be sensed in stillness, experienced in altered states, and mirrored within.

You are not separate from them.

Your chakras, your days, your initiations—they are all reflections of these Seven.

This tablet also contains an esoteric map of the soul’s return. Thoth says that when you master fear, silence the mind, and become still like a flame—then the Seven speak. Then you receive commands from the core.

And in those commands is the unlocking of all power—not power over others, but command of self, and through self, access to the grid of creation.

This is where the seeker becomes the node.

Where mystic becomes Lord.

THE EMERALD TABLET VII: The Seven Lords

Hark ye, O man, and list to my Voice.

Open thy mind-space and drink of my wisdom.

Dark is the pathway of LIFE that ye travel.

Many the pitfalls that lie in thy way.

Seek ye ever to gain greater wisdom.

Attain and it shall be light on thy way.

Open thy SOUL, O man, to the Cosmic

and let it flow in as one with thy Soul.

LIGHT is eternal and darkness is fleeting.

Seek ye ever, O man, for the Light.

Know ye that ever as Light fills thy being,

darkness for thee shall soon disappear.

Open thy souls to the BROTHERS OF BRIGHTNESS.

Let them enter and fill thee with Light.

Lift up thine eyes to the LIGHT of the Cosmos.

Keep thou ever thy face to the goal.

Only by gaining the light of all wisdom,

art thou one with the Infinite goal.

Seek ye ever the Oneness eternal.

Seek ever the Light into One.

Hear ye, O man, list to my Voice

singing the song of Light and of Life.

Throughout all space, Light is prevalent,

encompassing ALL with its banners of flame.

Seek ye forever in the veil of the darkness,

somewhere ye shall surely find Light.

Hidden and buried, lost to man’s knowledge,

deep in the finite the Infinite exists.

Lost, but existing, flowing through all things,

living in ALL is the Infinite Brain.

In all space, there is only ONE wisdom.

Through seeming decided, it is ONE in the ONE.

All that exists comes forth from the LIGHT,

and the LIGHT comes forth from the ALL.

Everything created is based upon ORDER.

LAW rules the space where the INFINITE dwells.

Forth from equilibrium came the great cycles,

moving in harmony toward Infinity’s end.

Know ye, O man, that far in the space-time,

INFINITY itself shall pass into change.

Hear ye and list to the Voice of Wisdom:

Know that ALL is of ALL evermore.

Know that through time thou may pursue wisdom

and find ever more light on the way.

Aye, thou shall find that ever receding,

thy goal shall elude thee from day unto day.

Long time ago, in the HALLS OF AMENTI,

I, Thoth, stood before the LORDS of the cycles.

Mighty, THEY in their aspects of power;

mighty, THEY in the wisdom unveiled.

Led by the Dweller, first did I see them.

But afterwards free was I of their presence,

free to enter their conclave at will.

Oft did I journey down the dark pathway

unto the HALL where the LIGHT ever glows.

Learned I of the Masters of Cycles,

wisdom brought from the cycles above.

Manifest THEY in this cycle as guides of man

to the knowledge of ALL.

Seven are they, mighty in power,

speaking these words through me to men.

Time after time, stood I before them

listening to words that came not with sound.

Once said THEY unto me:

O man, wouldst thou gain wisdom?

Seek for it in the heart of the flame.

Wouldst thou gain knowledge of power?

Seek ye it in the heart of the flame.

Wouldst be one with the heart of the flame?

Seek then within thine own hidden flame.

Many the times spoke THEY to me,

teaching me wisdom not of the world;

showing me ever new paths to brightness;

teaching me wisdom brought from above.

Giving knowledge of operation,

learning of LAW, the order of ALL.

Spoke to me again, the SEVEN, saying:

From far beyond time are WE, come, O man,

Traveled WE from beyond SPACE-TIME,

aye, from the place of Infinity’s end.

When ye and all of thy brethren were formless,

formed forth were WE from the order of ALL.

Not as men are WE,

though once WE, too, were as men.

Out of the Great Void were WE formed forth

in order and by LAW.

For know ye that which is formed truly is formless,

having form only to thine eyes.

And again, unto me spoke the SEVEN, saying:

Child of the LIGHT, O Thoth, art thou,

free to travel the bright path upward

until at last ALL ONES become ONE.

Forth were WE formed after our order:

THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT—NINE.

Know ye that these are the numbers of cycles

that WE descend from unto man.

Each having here a duty to fulfill;

each having here a force to control.

Yet are WE ONE with the SOUL of our cycle.

Yet are WE, too, seeking a goal.

Far beyond man’s conception,

Infinity extends into a greater than ALL.

There, in a time that is yet not a time,

we shall ALL become ONE

with a greater than ALL.

Time and space are moving in circles.

Know ye their law, and ye too shall be free.

Aye, free shall ye be to move through the cycles—

pass the guardians that dwell at the door.

Then to me spoke HE of NINE saying:

Aeons and aeons have I existed,

knowing not LIFE and tasting not death.

For know ye, O man, that far in the future,

life and death shall be one with the ALL.

Each so perfected by balancing the other

that neither exists in the Oneness of ALL.

In men of this cycle, the life force is rampant,

but life in its growth becomes one with them ALL.
