The Tabula Smaragdina (stressed tábula smarágdina, Latin for "emerald tablet") is a text traditionally attributed to Hermes Trismegistos, which forms the philosophical basis of Hermeticism and is considered the foundational text of alchemy.

The Tabula is one of the most famous texts of alchemical and hermetic literature. The twelve or so dark, allegorical sentences reflect the idea of a interrelation between the microcosm and the macrocosm. That which is below is like that which is above, and that which is above is like that which is below, an eternal miracle of the One.

The oldest extant version of the text is found in the appendix to a 6th century Arabic manuscript. Translated into Latin in the 12th century, the Tabula was commented on and received by many alchemists in the Middle Ages and increasingly in the Renaissance period. Even after the emergence of modern natural sciences, its fascination, at least for occultists and esotericists, remained unbroken until the present day.

Die Tabula Smaragdina (betont tábula smarágdina, lateinisch für „smaragdene Tafel“) ist ein traditionell dem Hermes Trismegistos zugeschriebener Text, der die philosophische Basis der Hermetik bildet und als Grundlagentext der Alchemie gilt.

Die Tabula ist einer der berühmtesten Texte alchemistischer und hermetischer Literatur. In den rund zwölf dunklen, allegorischen Sätzen spiegelt sich die Vorstellung eines Zusammenhangs von Mikrokosmos und Makrokosmos. Das was unten ist, ist wie das, was oben ist, und das was oben ist, ist wie das was unten ist, ein ewig dauerndes Wunder des Einen.

Die älteste erhaltene Textversion findet sich im Anhang zu einem arabischen Manuskript des 6. Jahrhunderts. Im 12. Jahrhundert ins Lateinische übersetzt, wurde die Tabula im Mittelalter und verstärkt im Zeitalter der Renaissance von vielen Alchemisten kommentiert und rezipiert. Auch nach Entstehung der modernen Naturwissenschaften blieb ihre Faszination zumindest auf Okkultisten und Esoteriker bis in die Gegenwart ungebrochen.

I recently renovated this one. An instrumental, with moments where you can tap along, and slower reflective moments. It signifies the ebb and flow of a workday. So I named it Working Day!

Lyrics:

Do You feel empowered, or do you feel like you're enslaved?
Do your dreams grow and flower, or do they burn in raging flames in your mind?
Do you feel empowered?

You say your letting go
And you don’t want to know
But what you need to know
Is that you belong

Don’t say your letting go
Just say you want to know
But you say 'it’s all gone wrong'

Spending your time
In the sorrow
Where you’ll never know how far you can go
You're never gonna know
If you say you’re letting go
But I know you know
I’m here for you now

Does your heart beat in wonder, or does it feel like it's been drained?
Are you living your life like thunder, or do you hide and feel ashamed in your mind?

Do you feel empowered? 
Please don't feel like your enslaved
Let your dreams grow and flower
Don't let them burn in raging flames in your mind

Feel empowered

Empowered

Can't Hear You

From the Album "Short Songs For Tall Minds"
A song dedicated to everyone's favorite outdoor chair, the monobloc. So many good times and memories sitting in these things. Functional design meets a simple manufacturing process. Unfortunately, they are made with polypropylene plastic, which will be around for thousands of years. These are like ecological disaster zombies that will never die.  Just look around, they're everywhere. But hey, this is a good time song about them. Thanks for listening!
 Lyrics:
When I come home
When the work is through
I just want to get in my backyard
In the neighborhood
I need some backyard sky
I need some friends of mine
Put out all the drinks
And give it a little time
Get the cable
Run it out from the living room
Out to the backyard
And over by the pool
Plug in the boom box
Over by the slide
Get ready
For the rising tide
Sitting in my Monobloc
My favorite outdoor chair
I am impressionistic for functional design

You know, these chairs
When it comes to history
They'll be around much longer
Than you and me
Alex says you need to go outside
If you want to drink liquor and smoke
Sit in my rich man's plastic throne
Even though I'm broke
(Broke, broke, broke)
Hollow in my Monobloc
My favorite outdoor chair
 Monobloc (Yeah!)
It's lightweight, like this song
And the music in the air
Sitting in my Monobloc
Ubiquitous
And everywhere
In my Monobloc
Monobloc...

Lyrics:
When John met the Devil
The Devil was in a hole
And the Devil said to John:
Give me your hand and I will give you riches like you've never known
Just give me your hand John
I'll give you riches like you've never known
I'll give you a brand new (to you)
Gently used mobile home
Oh, John don't worry about the bad
Cause the bad sleep well
Every single night
I'll leave you lots of whisky and bones
With meat...
Meat on them bones!
You can have all the love that you want
From these bathing beauties
in this Devil factory
It's like a bad restaurant
That's not very good
But you can have all you want
Understood?
One man's good luck charm
Is another man's burden
One man's suicide tree
Is just another man's shade
John, I can give you guile
Vanquish demons
I can keep you in style
Indulge your Id ego
I'll help you keep it under control
Hey John, Let me out of this hole
Get me out of this hole
Give me your hand John!
Your hand John
Lift me up and out of the hole
