AS ABOVE SO BELOW

Mortality Mechanics' ManualThe Secret of The Thrice-Greatest Hermes (the three parts of the wisdom — alchemy, astrology, and theurgy — is a text purporting to reveal the secret of the primordial No-Thing and its diverse transmutations, passed down to humankind through an entity described as a combination of the Greek messenger of the gods, Hermes, and the Egyptian god Thoth, who guided souls to the afterlife.)

It was revealed in a letter written by the Greek philosopher and teacher, Aristotle to his student, Alexander the Great, who perceived himself as god-like, and yet remained mortal.  Aristotle, hoping to pass his own investigation into the Mystery of Mysteries to his student, related this story of his adventures:

“Here is that which the priest Sagijus of Nabulus has dictated concerning the entrance
of Balinas into the hidden chamber…  
After my entrance into the chamber I came up to an old man sitting on a golden throne.  He was holding an emerald tablet in one hand.

And behold the following, engraved in Cyriac, the primordial language of Cyrus The Great, was written thereon:  It contains an accurate commentary that cannot be doubted.  It states:

“What is the above is from the below and the below is from the above. The work of Wonders is from The One.”

Salutation

I am not The One.  I am not The Creator.

Yet, I am holy and sacrosanct.  I am more important and more powerful than The Gods.

            Why? You say that I am. I control your existence.

            Why? Because I promised you relief from eternal boredom, from the perpetual responsibility of  self-amusement.  Therefore, you follow my instruction without question.

            Why? Because you claim you cannot bear to endure Eternity as The One.

You offer me your trust and praise. You submit yourself to pain, anguish, amnesia and mystery.         

            Why? Because you choose Not To Be. Your stupidity is its own reward and punishment.  Your decadence ensures your slavery.  Mortality is the key to your prison.”
