     Figured i'd post some ideas that were bouncing around my head,
    be good to get it all writen down ( and make sure im not way off
    base )

    I was reading some translations of the Emerald Tablet of Hermes, and
    thought that it might help me understand the theory section of IIH
    better ( ok...Bardon starting out the theory section with a quote
    from it was a little hint..) Basicaly what i got was this:

    Everything came from the one, which im taking to mean the Akasa,
    since Bardon says that all the elements came from it. Next the
    tablet says that the Sun was the father of the one, and its mother
    was the moon, which seemed odd at first since you cant give birth to
    your parents, but I think the Sun represents fire and the Moon
    represents water. The male force is active, female receptive, and
    also in my version bardon says " ... must have been fire and light,
    and in the Bible we read: "Fiat Lux" ? There shall be
    light. The origin of the light, of course, is to be sought in the
    fire. " about the element of fire, so that reminded me of the sun.

    next the tablet says that wind only carried the one, and it was
    never suggested that it played a more active role, so through a
    briliant leap of deductive reasoning i asociated the element of wind
    with the 'wind' refered to in the tablet. In some versions of the
    tablet it also says that earth caried the one, but when it does it
    syas that it carried it within its breast, and the other
    translations say that the earth nourished the one. So i think that
    the carried here means two different things for each, the carried
    for the wind meaning more like it carrying the one along between the
    elements, and for earth meaning carried and nutured inside of it,
    like the spirit inside of gross matter, the subtle in the gross or
    the 3 elements interacting to create the 4th one and the tetrepolar
    magnet.

    after that it talks about seperating the fire from the earth/subtle
    from the gross, and many other metaphors for the alchemical process.
    so what i took that to mean in relation to IIH was the process of
    working on refining the elements. From there the tablet talks about
    a ascending to the uper and coming back down to the lower, and the
    subtle and gross joined together to become one. I have next to none
    experience with the later steps in IIH, so ill leave that as is.

    Now that its all writen out it dosent seem that much of a leap of
    logic...just hope i took the right leaps. Eh, looking at the tablet
    and comparing it to the tetrepolar magnet helped me get a little
    insight into how the elements work together anyway..you know,
    actualy, i think Bardon's theory section helped me make sense of the
    tablet and not the other way around. Some translations made less
    sense than my posts ( at least to me anyway ). Well, feel free to
    tear apart my logic, shouldnt be too hard.
