THE MONAD MANIFESTO: Merging Science and Spirituality

The Monad Manifesto is a call to clarity and action in response to new discoveries about the nature of consciousness and the looming confrontation between mind and machine. As scientists probe deeper into the nature of reality, they are finding that consciousness is at the root of everything. What we believed were the laws of physics and matter are really the archetypal laws of mind.

The Monad is the indivisible single source of consciousness and information that created our universe. Known in science as the “Big Bang,” it is the dimensionless point or singularity from which our universe emerged over 13.8 billion years ago. That explosion of light set into motion the interplay of energy and matter that determines our reality today. In philosophy, the Monad is the single cause – acting alone – that is responsible for existence itself. For theologians, the Monad is the Word of God that created the world. Psychologists view the Monad as the root of all the archetypal thoughts and images – both conscious and unconscious – that shape our mental reality. In mathematics, the Monad is the source point – defined as zero (“0”) – from which all the numbers and geometries that describe Nature originate. Computer scientists think of the Monad as the cosmic code embedded in the matrix of creation.

In simplest terms, the Monad is pure consciousness itself – the light of awareness that all of us share. Scientists are just realizing that “singularity” itself is a defining characteristic of consciousness, and each of us acts like a lesser monad creating our own little world of personal reality. If you think about it, there is always only one “you” –and that is the one who is conscious. In the words of Nobel laureate physicist Erwin Schrödinger, monadic consciousness is “a singularity phasing within all beings."

The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation

The Emerald Tablet is an ancient document that contains the essence of the alchemical teachings has had an important influence on many Western spiritual and religious traditions.

This brilliant history of alchemy traces its sources back to ancient Egypt, and presents alchemy as a useful, practical system of self-transformation. Each of the seven steps of alchemical transformation is explained, with hands-on techniques and exercises, treating alchemy as a living discipline for achieving a spiritual awakening. The Tablet became the basis of alchemy and contains a secret formula that shows us how to perfect anything – even ourselves. This book details the rediscovery of the mysterious artifact and reveals the chemical-spiritual formula hidden in its lines. Also contained are the alchemists' startling predictions for the new millennium and chapters on the mystical and paranormal experiences that reflect the deep changes undergone by people who have actually seen the hidden reality of which the tablet speaks.Stanley Krippner Ph.D. (Director of Consciousness Studies, the Saybrook Institute): ”This book combines esoteric wisdom with practical advice. Hauck offers his readers a remarkable path for spiritual change in the tradition of Carl Jung's depth psychology.” Jeffrey Mishlove Ph.D. (Director of Intuition Network; host of "Thinking Allowed" PBS series): “Every reader who gives this book the thoughtfulness it requires will discover a treasure of inner riches.” Penguin 1999.

Secret of the Emerald Tablet

This first English translation of sections of the nineteenth-century German alchemist Gottlieb Latz' monumental work Die Alchemie deciphers the chemical formula hidden within the Emerald Tablet that openly demonstrates all the principles of alchemy. This book reveals all the ingredients of the Arcanum Experiment, which was considered the most powerful and meaningful chemical demonstration of ancient times. Based on his research, Latz said he had reconstructed the Elixir of Life and claimed to have saved many of his patients from the incurable diseases of his time. "Hauck's translation from the German is wonderfully fluid." -First Impressions. First edition (Holmes Publishing20011); second edition Athanor 2017). 8x10. 50 pages. ISBN 1973890356.

Alchemy Workbook

This spiritual alchemy workbook is a guided tour through the steps of the Emerald Tablet's formula of transformation. There are alchemical mandalas and symbolic drawings actually used by the alchemists, as well as interpretations and guided meditations to accompany them. Most engravings have never before been published to a wide audience and date back over five hundred years. The principles revealed here are based on many centuries of alchemical practice and date back to a time when some of the most creative minds in the world delved into the intertwined mysteries of matter and energy, soul and spirit. Those philosophers of nature sought universal laws of transformation that were as valid in their laboratory experiments as they were in their own hearts and minds. Their legacy to us is an amazing spiritual technology that works on all levels. Great companion workbook for The Emerald Tablet. Athanor Books 1999, 2017. ISBN 0-9637914-4-3. 8x11; 34 pages.

ALCHEMISTIC PHILOSOPHY Module 1 Manual Learn alchemical philosophy and see how it evolved from its roots in ancient Egypt right up to its modern rebirth in the principles of quantum physics. This hyper-history of alchemy is complimented by further readings on the philosophical basis of alchemy. The experiments in this module take place on the psychological and spiritual levels of your being and are extremely important to your success in this program. The goal is to develop the power of Alchemical Thinking, which takes place on multiple levels at once, and also ignite the Secret Fire of the alchemists within you. Without this Secret Fire of personal gnosis burning in you, you will have difficulty progressing in the final modules, since many of the later experiments and tests are directed towards this kind of direct knowledge.	SPIRITUAL ALCHEMY Module 2 Manual This module attempts to bring all these principles alive within you so you can directly experience their validity. When practiced on the higher spiritual level, alchemy is a powerful force for the evolution of soul, which is the expression of the First Matter in us. By working in the inner laboratory of the mind, initiates learn alchemistic meditation and work with the Three Essentials to achieve transmutation. Your mystical training culminates, as you attempt to "ground" your newfound wisdom in the next module.	EVERYDAY ALCHEMY Module 3 Manual This modules focuses on the creation of your own personal Philosopher's Stone, a guide and magical touchstone to transform all aspects of your life. Alchemy is the study of the forces of creation in the macrocosm of the universe. Once these principles are mastered, the individual (or microcosm) can utilize these same forces to transform and enhance his or her own life. You will discover that the health and wealth in your life are part of the "gold" of which the alchemists spoke. By this stage in the Work, you will begin to manifest the incorruptible state of consciousness and confidence that is the hallmark of the true Initiate.
METALS & THEIR CORRESPONDENCES Module 4 Manual Learn about the archetypal nature of the metals and their hidden affect they have on every level of our lives. By actually working with the metals, the alchemist gains an intuitive understanding of their profound signatures. In that way, the archetypal or universal correspondences are much more easily grasped. These correspondences exist simultaneously on the physical, psychological, and spiritual levels of reality. By integrating the opposing forces in your own metallic temperament (or personality), you will gain entry to the "Greater Mysteries," in which you become a true Initiate into the deeper truths of which so few of us are aware.	PRACTICAL LABORATORY ALCHEMY Module 5 Manual This module focuses exclusively on basic physical techniques and chemical experiments. You will become familiar with the secret ciphers and alphabets of the alchemists, as well as understand the deeper meaning of alchemical symbols. You will actually perform experiments that demonstrate all the basic truths revealed to you in previous modules, including each of the Seven Steps of transformation. The overall goal behind combining spiritual and practical techniques is to use the tension created by these two opposite ways of looking at alchemy and fuse them into one holistic approach to the subject. Alchemy Study Program AlchemyStudy.org	SPAGYRICALCHEMY Module 6 Manual Learn to separate and recombine essences to prepare alchemically active substances, as you continue to refine and develop your techniques and intuition on all levels. Spagyrics is a way of separating and preserving the hidden qualities (signatures) of plants and minerals in elixirs, tinctures, and powders. The result are subtle yet powerful medicines free of the impurities normally associated with their gross material forms. By learning to make tinctures and elixirs and work only with essences, you will become healthier, mentally clearer, and spiritually stronger for the challenges of the Great Work ahead. The Guide to Alchemical Herbs and Foods is included with this module.
