說到煉金術,我們就不得不提起翡翠石板,這個石板曾經在牧羊少年被提起過,曾經在祕密被提起過,曾經在生命之花靈性法則被提起過...(我看過的書就那麼多了哈哈哈哈哈哈)
當我們提起宇宙法則就自然而然地想到翡翠石板,或又稱翡翠十三章。
另外還有奧秘七大法則之後有機會再來聊聊。
翡翠石板由托特書寫,托特是古埃及的神明,傳說中還是上個紀元國度亞特蘭提斯的國王。
托特在希臘則又化身為赫密斯,這後續傳承到了煉金術、神祕學校、黃金黎明、共濟會等神秘組織,甚至是站在巨人肩膀上的牛頓都曾翻譯過裡面的文字呢!
在煉金術士口中最接近真理的翡翠石板,看起來有沒有很神秘?
這其實是電腦還原本,石板本身已經消逝在時間的洪流之中。
以下是翡翠石板的文字翻譯:
(1)True , without falsehood , certain , most certain.
這是真實不虛,無有造假的真理。
(2)What is above is like what is below , and what is below is like that
which is above , to make the miracle of the one thing.
如其在上,如其在下。以此造就"一"的奇蹟。
(3)And as all things were made from contemplation of one , so all things were born from one adaptation.
萬物從"一"而生,所有事物由"一"的根源造化而生。
(4)Its father is the Sun , its mother is the Moon.
太陽為父,太陰為母。
(5)The wind carried it in its womb , the earth breast fed it.
以風育孕,以地滋養。
(6)It is the father of all works of wonder in the world , and its power is complete.
祂是世界最完美的力量,也是最完全的。
(7)If cast to earth , it will separate earth form fire , the subtitle from the gross.
在土地上,他將火從土裡分離,並從此粗糙之物中萃取菁華。
(8)With great capacity it ascends from earth to heaven , again it descends to earth , and take the power of the above and the below.
從地飛昇至天,又從天而降至地,以此聚集天地的力量。
(9)Thus you will receive the glory of the distinctiveness of the world , all obscurity will flee from you.
藉此你將獲得這世間最殊榮的光,黑暗將從你身邊遠離。
(10)This is the whole most strength of all strength , for it overcomes all subtle things , and penetrates all solid things.
這是強大之中的強大,超越所有精微,並能滲透所有固體。
(11)Thus was the world creates.
世界依此而創造。
(12)From this comes marvelous adaptations of which this is the procedure.
按照這過程,可達此奇蹟。
(13)Therefore I am called Hermes , because I have three parts of the wisdom of the whole world , and complete id what I had to say about the work of the Sun.
我之所以被稱為偉大的赫密斯,是因為我有整個世界三部分的智慧。這就是我所說的,關於太陽的偉大工作。
實際上翻譯還有眾多的版本,包含阿拉伯文版、拉丁文版、還有牛頓翻譯的版本....眾說紛紜。
真正的智慧隱藏在文字之後,能否參透...大概就看有無慧根了XDD
