The Smaragdine Table of Hermes Trismegistus, of Alchemy.

 

“The words of the Secrets of Hermes, which were written in a Smaragdine Table，and found between his hands in an obscure Vault, wherein his body lay buried.”

 

It is true without leafing, certaine and most true，that which is beneath is like that which is above, and that which is above is like that which is beneath; to worke the Miracles of One Thing，and as all things have proceeded from one, by the meditation of one; so all things have sprung from this one Thing by adaptation. His Father is the Sun， his Mother is the Moone, the Winde  boie it in her belly，the Earth is his Nurse，the Father of all the Telesme of this world is here; His force and power is perfect, if it be turned into Earth. Thou shalt separate the Earth from the Fire, the thin from the thick, and that gently with great discretion：It ascendeth from Earth into Heaven, and againe it descendeth into the Earth, and receiveth the power or the Superiours and Inferiours: So shalt thou have the Glory of the World, all obscurity therefore shall fly away from thee. This is the mighty power of all power, for it shall overcome every subtle thing, and pierce through every solid thing, so was the World created. Heere shall be marvellous adaptations, whereof this is the meane; therefore am I called Hermes Tremigestus, or the thrice great Interpreter; having three parts of the philosophy of the whole world: that which I have spoken of the operation of the Sun is finished.

 

Here endeth the Table of Hermes.

Sma.rag.dine食麼鍊鼎

翻為中文即翠玉或祖母綠

這種東西也算珍貴

然貴重的不在於玉石

而在於它其中所刻的文字

這是有關鍊金術的秘笈

為西方此道之鼻祖

赫密斯•特里斯密吉斯托斯所撰

 

“The words of the Secrets of Hermes, which were written in a Smaragdine Table，and found between his hands in an obscure Vault, wherein his body lay buried.”

赫密斯字裏藏秘

它被刻在翠玉版上

我們在他灰濛的棺柩中發現

那時他的雙手正緊抱著這個

It is true without leafing,

without leafing是無需翻閱整件事情

無需閱卷

他

赫密斯•特里斯密吉斯托斯（Hermes Trismegistus）

直接跟你說

是真實的沒有虛偽

₡₡

葉片、紙張多不牢靠

印烙在上面的印記

終有消失的一天

還不如我在玉版上吐真言

有緣的人看了

定知我意

 

[]

certaine and most true，

₡

是真實的沒有虛偽

亦是最真切而實在的

懇切真實

明明白白

沒有虛偽

沒有造作

沒有模糊不清的地帶

₡₡

嘿

他說的可不是空殼子

也不用拿戲法來變

道道地地底正法眼藏

燭照萬物、包容一切

 

[]

that which is beneath is like that which is above, and that which is above is like that which is beneath;

正氣歌曰

天地有正氣

雜然賦流形

下則為河嶽

上則為日星

於人曰浩然

沛乎塞蒼冥

皇路當清夷

含和吐明庭

它那個浩然正氣

充塞整個虛空

皇路無遠弗屆

四通八達

沒有阻塞

五行在其中運作

把整個宇宙給鮮活了過來

真靈妙神奇啊

 

[]

to worke the Miracles of One Thing，and as all things have proceeded from one, by the meditation of one;

₡

冥思默想個什麼

只有一能啟始萬物、成就萬物

悟真篇云

道自虛無生一氣

便從一氣產陰陽

只要專注在創造神跡的一身上（to worke the Miracles of One Thing）

一切有為法將順利完成

無需面面俱到處處觀照

 

[]

so all things have sprung from this one Thing by adaptation.

觀一察一同一

生命之泉由此一流出

老子云

天得一以清

地得一以寧

神得一以靈

谷得一以盈

萬物得一以生

侯王得一以為天下貞

一就是奇妙的神跡

赫密斯的調調

跟老子

似乎是一個樣

 

[]

His Father is the Sun， his Mother is the Moone, the Winde  boie it in her belly，the Earth is his Nurse，the Father of all the Telesme of this world is here; His force and power is perfect, if it be turned into Earth.

父為日

母為月

風宿子宮

地做護衛

創造萬物的父啊

集所有美善於一身

他的力量之大

是足以改變這個生存空間的

Thou shalt separate the Earth from the Fire, the thin from the thick, and that gently with great discretion：

當

地風吹動

虎嘯風生

離火逆轉

坎離交媾

金木併接在一塊兒的時候

那是上天的恩賜

因之

火地薰蒸

漸次分離

而精中之惟一

天然凝結

此非丹之概念乎

這應該說是一個奇妙神跡的示現

因著這個緣故
