All those Gnostic / Hermetic texts were kept in the Library of Alexandria. And as you know it was set ablaze by religious zealots.

''One of the greatest tragedies of the philosophic world was the loss of nearly all of the
forty-two books of Hermes mentioned in the foregoing. These books disappeared during
the burning of Alexandria, for the Romans--and later the Christians--realized that until
these books were eliminated they could never bring the Egyptians into subjection. The
volumes which escaped the fire were buried in the desert and their location is now known
to only a few initiates of the secret schools.''

''It has been asserted that the Book of Thoth is, in reality, the mysterious Tarot of the
Bohemians--a strange emblematic book of seventy-eight leaves which has been in
possession of the gypsies since the time when they were driven from their ancient temple,
the Serapeum. (According to the Secret Histories the gypsies were originally Egyptian
priests.)''
hmmm Manly P Hall seems to me to be saying in other paragraphs that the book is a complete secret expect for a few high-priests

Dont follow the path to the Duat. We are not trying to get to Nibiru.

The Goal is the Completion of the Great Work here on Earth.

For this we need the Bread of Long Living and the Elixir of Life.

can you explain that in plain words to a neophyte?

>>19356320
Not without initiating you into some of mankinds oldest stories.

Like the Refusal of Immortality by Adapa.

But you should have some hint already that I am referring to both the Grail and the Philosopher Stone.

>>19356419
currently reading the Secret Teaching of all Ages by Manly P Hall. what do you suggest I should read after finishing this?
were you initiated? how did you stumble upon your local mystery school?

death is by far the most tragic experience of the human-experience -- & it seems completely unnecessary, & unnatural

The better question is "What is the Book of Toth?".

>>19357045

Well, Thoth wrote over 40,000 books. Choose one.
