Over the centuries, many esteemed philosphers have declared that The Emerald Tablet contains the sum of all knowledge . . .
So begins Chapter 1 of The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation
It’s a vivid image–that emerald tablet–and therefore don’t be surprised to discover that this is a vivid book. The Emerald Tablet is metaphysics via archetype: a model for spiritual exploration and growth that asks you to submerge yourself in–to submit yourself to-the gripping and emotionally-charged world of the subconscious.
The book’s theoretical foundation is the concept of alchemy itself, which–as Hauck wields it–is not about literally turning base metals into gold, but about transforming the self, psychologically and spiritually, and thereby transcending the baser impulses and perspectives of an ego-centric selfhood. It is a spiritual discipline, to be practiced by those who seek spiritual mastery.
For better or worse, many metaphysical books tend toward an intellect-led journey. Hauck proposes something very different: a process that requires the seeker to submit to experiences that defy intellectual explanation, that in fact bypass the intellect.
To that end, Hauck suggests numerous meditations and related exercises to help the reader experience transformation firsthand.
It is heady stuff, rich and dense–the sort of book that calls for multiple readings, perhaps even a lifetime of study–and deserves a spot in any library of metaphysical literature.
