It is true, no lie, certain, and to be depended upon.
The superior agrees with the inferior and the inferior with the superior, to effect that one truly wonderful work.
As all things owe their existence to the will of the Only One, so all things owe their origin to the One Only Thing, the most hidden, by the arrangement of the Only God.
The father of that One Only Thing is the sun, its mother is the moon, the Wind carries it in its belly, but its nurse is a spirituous Earth.
That one Only Thing is the Father of all things in the Universe, its Power is perfect, after it has been united to a spirituous Earth.
Separate that spirituous Earth from the dense or crude by means of a gentle heat, with much attention.
In great measure it ascends from the earth up to Heaven, and the superior and the inferior are increased in power.
By this thou wilt partake of the honors of the whole world.
And the darkness will fly thee.
This is the strength of all powers.
With this thou wilt be able to overcome all things and to transmute all that is fine from what is course.
In this manner, the work was created; the arrangements to follow this road are hidden.
In this is hidden the wisdom of the whole world.
-Hermes Trismegistus
