Sixteen Dialogues with Thoth
André Consciência
These dialogues begin from a single question: how can the human mind participate in Divine Mind?
Across sixteen dialogues, the question passes from thought and imagination to Akasha, consciousness, the divine image, the creative Word, measure, time, fate, gods and daimons, Nature, death, Providence and the responsibility of the scribe. Each dialogue prepares the next. The sequence should therefore be read in order, although each dialogue may also be entered by the question it contains.
BOOK I — THE PREPARATION OF MIND
The human centre is distinguished from its thoughts; imagination is examined as a translator of knowledge; the four elemental powers are brought into relation across the three bodies; and Akasha is approached as the principle giving life to divine images.
- Dialogue I — On Thought and the One Who Thinks
- Dialogue II — On Imagination and the Real
- Dialogue III — On the Four Powers and the Three Bodies
- Dialogue IV — On Akasha and the Living Image
BOOK II — PARTICIPATION IN THOTH
The centre of knowing is transferred into the divine image, the Godhead of Thoth is encountered, dialogue turns into an act of differentiation within Wisdom, and the Word is examined as a vehicle for Divine Qualities.
- Dialogue V — On the Passage of Consciousness
- Dialogue VI — On the Godhead of Thoth
- Dialogue VII — The Form of Dialogue
- Dialogue VIII — On the Word That Makes a World
BOOK III — THE ORDER OF THE WORLD
Measure, number, law, time, fate, freedom, gods and daimons are considered within the Divine Mind.
- Dialogue IX — On Measure, Number, and Law
- Dialogue X — On Time and the Spheres
- Dialogue XI — On Fate and Freedom
- Dialogue XII — On Gods, Daimons, and Their Bodies
BOOK IV — THE RETURN OF THE SCRIBE
The sacred art takes place within Nature, personality beyond the temporary bodies, evil is distinguished from Providence, and the scribe must answer for the form given to knowledge.
- Dialogue XIII — On Nature and the Sacred Art
- Dialogue XIV — On Death, Memory, and Continuity
- Dialogue XV — On Providence, Error, and the Good
- Dialogue XVI — On the Return of the Scribe
