today, and that Herodotus mentions the pyramids as shining red and being smooth. This element might be "the father of all perfection, or consummation of the whole world" which was "turned into earth" in the process of liberating its power. For, "The power of it is integral if it be turned into earth".

Two things are to be noticed in the Emerald Tablet, that can be connected with the modern Science, Newtonian as well as post - Newtonian. First of all we have a thing from which all the other arose, whose origin is thus characterized: "The father of it is the Sun, the mother of it is the Moon; the wind carries it in its belly; the nurse thereof is the Earth." This puts us in direct relation with the Newtonian theory of gravitation as sketched above. There is a region inside Earth created by the Sun as above and, likewise, one created by the Moon. Apparently these regions are the same, only the action of the Sun ("the father") is different from the action of the Moon ("the mother"). Apparently this thing (oricalchum?) is different from earth, for the Earth is only its "nurse" and the "wind carries it".

Another thing which we might be able to explain within the framework of post-Newtonian physics is that "This is the strong fortitude of all fortitudes, overcoming every subtle and penetrating every solid thing." Considerations of the strength of materials show that, what penetrates the solid things and overcomes the subtle things can, for once, be described by a tensor having the structure of the electromagnetic field in Maxwell acceptance. This might explain the phrase "all obscurity flees before thee". However, theoretically "overcoming every subtle and penetrating every solid thing" is by no means limited to the electromagnetic field which, by the way, is only an incomplete representation due to our restricted geometrical possibilities.

In fundamental problems, such as that of the future of humanity, the esoteric wisdom should be taken cum grano salis. This doesn't mean that the Science itself has to be taken without reserves. There might not be, indeed, difference between them, as one is, unfortunately too often inclined to believe or prove. For, the ancestral memory is so deep that it may direct our very speculative thinking. The Emerald Tablet is, in our opinion an explicit statement reflecting this ancestral memory. And we never cease to ask ourselves if, from this point of view, utterance "the wind carries it in its belly" doesn't point out towards the modern phenomena of UFO, crop circles and such.
