The above diagram is identified as being related to The 7 Lords in The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean.
Details Of The Representation.
Theological/Esoteric Context: The diagram is frequently discussed in subreddits like r/Thoth and r/Hermeticism, where it is associated with ancient esoteric wisdom.
Chakra Connection: Some interpretations suggest it represents a system for meditation where each number corresponds to a specific chakra.
Structure: It consists of seven numbered circles (nodes) connected by lines (edges), forming an hourglass-like shape within two triangles.
In other contexts, similar structures are used as mathematical or logic puzzles where users are asked to determine numerical relationships between the connected nodes.
1st Discourse
I often use discourse that repeats previous information. This is something I call Taughtology. I do it for several reasons.
The 7 Lords (or The Seven Lords of Amenti) in The Emerald Tablets Of Thoth are interdimensional masters of cycles, wisdom, and cosmic forces, appearing in Tablet VII to teach Thoth the secrets of Light and space. They act as keepers of balance and the path of souls, directing the evolution of human consciousness from the Halls of Amenti.
The Seven Lords Mentioned (Tablet VII).
According to the text, the Lords are often described by their function and relationship to cosmic cycles:
🔹️ The Lords of the Cycles (General):
▪️ Masters of the cycles above us,
they hold the knowledge of
Infinity.
• The Lord of Light (SIX): Associated with the hidden pathway, the path of the souls of the children of men.
• The Lord of Space/Time (SEVEN): Master of the vastness and the key to time.
• The Lord of Balance (EIGHT): Orders progress; weighs and balances the journey of men.
• The Lord of Formation (NINE): Described as the "father, vast he of countenance, forming and changing from out of the formless".
Key Aspects Of The Seven Lords.
• Location: They dwell in the Halls of Amenti, a hidden realm often linked to the core of the Earth.
• Nature: They are described as "formless yet shining with Light," serving as intermediaries between humanity and the Absolute.
• Function: They are the keepers of Light and Life, helping souls transition through death into new cycles.
• Teachings: They teach that Light and Life are infinite, separated only by the illusions of darkness.
These Lords, also called "Children of Morning," are presented as superior beings that have moved beyond the mortal cycle of life and death, guiding seekers to "turn their thoughts inward" to find the light.
2nd Discourse
In The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, The Seven Lords (also known as The Lords of Amenti or The Masters of Cycles) are immortal beings from beyond space-time who serve as guardians and teachers for humanity. They are primarily described in Tablet VII: The Seven Lords.
The Lords are identified by the numbers 3 through 9, which represent their specific cosmic functions and "cycle numbers".
The Seven Lords And Their Roles.

: The Lord of the underworld, magic, and creator of the Halls of the Dead.

Beyond The Ordinary
The Emerald Tablets Of Thoth The Atlantean is a 1930s-1940s pseudohistorical, New Age text written by Maurice Doreal (Claude Doggins). It claims to be a translation of 12 emerald-green tablets created by Thoth, an immortal Atlantean priest-king who founded ancient Egypt and built the Great Pyramid. The work focuses on esoteric wisdom, alchemy, and the lost civilization of Atlantis.
Key Details About The Text.
• Origin: The book was published by Maurice Doreal (founder of the Brotherhood of the White Temple) in the 1930s or 1940s. It is not considered an ancient historical document by scholars, but rather a work influenced by esoteric, Theosophical, and Lovecraftian, Atlantean, and Egyptian themes.
• The Narrative: The text claims Thoth, an Atlantean king, escaped the sinking of Atlantis, traveled to Egypt in a spaceship, and hid his records in the Great Pyramid.
• Content: The tablets are said to be made of an indestructible, alchemically created, green, crystalline substance. They contain teachings on the nature of reality, "All is One," spiritual evolution, and secrets of life and death.
• Physical Description: The book describes 12 tablets bound by hoops, with text that responds to "thought vibrations".
Note: This is distinct from the historical Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, a real,9th-century Arabic text.
