Hum, possibly and thus, doing something is putting you back to the 
chain of causes and effects. Are we then forever bound to it ? And 
are we obliged to be actors in the Cosmic Drama ?

In the Corpus Hermeticum (apparently as well in the Emerald Tablet), 
there is sometimes the implicit paradigm that the world is the 
manifestation of "The One".

>From your quote of the Emerald Tablet.

"3) AND AS ALL THINGS WERE MADE FROM CONTEMPLATION OF ONE, SO ALL 
THINGS WERE BORN FROM ONE ADAPTATION."

There is always several viewpoints at a landscape : if a travellers 
write down a description of what he sees from the North at dawn, it 
will not match an other ones South point evennings description. So to 
speak, I am not pretending any truth but my own. 

So, to me this World, "the temporal Now we are now living into as a 
member of the humanity on Earth" is not in perfection as it will be 
if not only "ALL THINGS WERE MADE FROM CONTEMPLATION OF ONE, SO ALL 
THINGS WERE BORN FROM ONE ADAPTATION."
So possibly, all things were made as described, but they have not 
remained so. 
This implies that "The ONE" did not create this world, because the 
perfection and eternal cannot create anything else but the eternal 
perfection. And if it would be so, then creation will not have fallen.

However, as the spark of Eternity does exist within ourself, what can 
be brought back to Eternity is Ourself. 
This ultimately will free us from the Cosmic Drama, which will be 
forever otherwise. 

best ragards,
