The Sapphire Tablet

by Marisa Broughton, MCHT, MNLP

Some would claim that what I’m about to tell you is knowledge from the Ancients. Some would say that this information is the secret of the Illuminati. Others would claim, it’s merely science and they too would be correct. It is actually a blend of both science and spiritual illumination. It is the blending of scientific knowledge, methods and spiritual evolutionary work that bring us a form of empowerment realized by only a few, though achievable by many.

The Emerald Tablet brought the message to humanity – “That which is above, is also below”. This simple statement contains not only a wisdom but a key which unlocks the passage way to a higher knowledge. In essence it means, the power of “God” is also within us. Everything that God can do, we also have the power to do…though perhaps on a smaller scale. Putting aside any religious connotations, the message contains a very important key to interpersonal evolution because the first step in growth lies in the belief of ability.

Our natural curiosity motivates us to discover, learn and experience. We experience our happiest moments when we accomplish something, when we are an active participant in the achievement of anything. When we are immersed in the glory of growth and achievement, the momentum it creates leads to even further accomplishment.

Evolution is change. Change is to be welcomed as growth, for that which stays the same threatens to stagnate and rot. Boredom is a death sentence. The bored mind begins to decay and diminish in it’s cognitive capacity. The mind needs nourishment, stimulation and activity in order to thrive. The mind deprived of stimulation becomes depressed. Depression is the beginning of the shut down process of body and mind. It is the living death.

The recipe of alchemy – transforming base metal into gold (it’s a metaphor) has been given many times before and written or told in a variety of ways from a variety of sources. All of the secrets of spiritual and cognitive evolution revolve around the following recipe.

1. Know what you want.

2. Believe you can attain it.

3. Learn as much as you can about it.

4. Make a commitment towards achieving it.

5. Make a plan of how to achieve it.

6. Be persistent in your efforts.

7. Be flexible in your methods.

8. Always, always think positive about getting it.

9. Know that the right way is the way that works for you.

10. Failure only results when you give up.

There are many paths that can get you where you want to go. Along each of those paths are bushes full of berries of knowledge. It helps to know enough to avoid the poison berries and choose from the good ones, only those which are ripe.

The Sapphire Tablet reads: That it hasn’t been accomplished only means that the method has yet to be discovered.
