1 THE GREEN
In the first step is the nature of the last

The gradual and constant practice is the perfection of the phase realised. There is one teaching with many processes. The many parts are brought into our being at the time of completion.
This is beyond transforming and is transformed. Neither known nor unknown, neither made or grown. That which is not known of it, to be understood without comprehending.
Know that there are five colours and the green is deeply hidden in the centre of our vessel. Those who have the green are no longer human. All things are possible and lawful to the master of the green. Time and form have been superseded.
The four elements of the green work dwell in the quintessence; ether. They are therefore of the quality, rather than the substance.
The green may reside in substance to transform but its quality remains of another realm. The highest perfection becomes perceived imperfection on the next level. When transformed the qualities will also be of a different nature.
The green is not made or grown but gifted. Therefore work towards red. The green is the ascendancy of the first opus and beginning of the new; Allowing entry to movement between another realm.
The emerald tablet of Hermes alludes in the first form, to the end. In the first step is the nature of the last. The green is a quality and expression. To move to the higher one must first understand the lower. In the completion of the lower seed, germinate the higher form.
The emerald stone is won by effort. In it are the powers and attributes of all the lower. The higher is lower, as above so below.
This the most hidden secret science is revealed. This is how we design protection and concealment into Our Work. Even stated in plain language it is considered madness. Therefore it is hidden. And hidden. And hid.
Will your belief improve you? Only knowledge will, for this, the Way of Stone is the Way of Gnosis.
