Space is the Circle of Created World Space is the Place wherein this Engine's rolled As Place a Center circled in by Space So Space ye Circle is of place's place Place is a Center yet Exchange of Place The Lineal motion is to Space's Space Place in it Self is ever fixed and still Which doth ye Vacant Space of Spaces fill Space can not Move because it all Contains Yet Space is Motion, place where Power reigns Nor Space nor Place do ever Stir nor Move Yet place in Space is restless Motions Grove Great is the Magic of this motion's race Motion in Space doth pass from place to place Thus Motion caught in all including Space Standing in centers moved to Circle's place Motion is that which runs the world about Yet it a place is never found without Place it is Still from Motion never free Move and not move how can it ever be. This riddle placed in Space of mental motion Is plane to sense without erratic notion Motion's confined to various centriq place Never to pass ye boundless bounds of Space Thus each beginning doth its end contain And End once made it must begin again For what was done by one Creating Word Must by this Three in one be understood If any ask how this could ever be done Tell them the word is Father, Ghost and Son Before that time was made Creatural God in himself was the great all in all But to extend the virtue of his power Of nothing all things made for his one bower Thus was the great abyssive might Formed into Creature, whence produced was Light This light to Nature joined both firmly stood As primo genitors and to beings food The product of this all including one In Triple Creature most divinely shown Prangeth it self by measure of formation To be the being's being of Creation Thus were the heavens and the Earth begot Both out of darkness unto Light was brought From whence was made twixt one and t'other Father, & Mother, Sister, & Brother Four in number as the Elements are Conjointly work to procreate their par Fire is the Father, and the Mother is air Brother and Sister, Earth and Water, are These in their number weight and Measure Make of this world the hidden treasure Joined them thro light let them unite together That they may live in love and be for Ever So is the Quatrant four in one The Matter Form and Essence of our Stone.

My Child, lock this up in thy heart and understanding, this Saturn is the Stone which the Philosophers will not name, whose name is concealed unto this day; for if it's name were known, then many would operate, and the Art would be common, because this work is short, and without charge, a small and mean work. Therefore doth the name remain concealed, for the evils' sake which might thence proceed. All the strange Parables which the Philosophers have spoken mystically, of a Stone, a Moon, a Furnace, a Vessel, all this is Saturn; for you must not put any strange thing unto it, only what comes from it, therefore there is none so poor in this world, which cannot operate and promote this work; for Luna may be easily made of Saturn, in a short time, and in a little longer time Sol may be made out of it. And though a man be poor, yet may he very well attain unto it, and may be employed to make the Philosopher's Stone.

"Crystal Orbs, Floating in the Infinite Sea of Knowledge, Each Containing the Energy that Composes the Vacuous Reality"

The connection established between the vagabond entities, which converge with each other in this or in another reality, is established in the fabric of the universe, some call it destiny, others chance. The volatile energy that escapes from our earthly understanding connects us to each other, and the absolute knowledge is available subconsciously to the individual. the chaos and order, the inner voice of the psychopomp, the absolute truth reflected in an emerald colored table, the incessant search for answers in an infinite sea of ​​energy that does not stop expanding creating new paradigms. the reality seen from an organ that weakens

Salarmoniack 03:42
Has it ever been that a bull engender a lion? Do men father trees, or plants or metals? It has ever been constant that man engender man, horse or, which is the same, that man is fathered of the human seed, horse from the seed of the horse, and that from the seed of Rue springs Rue and never Sage. The same is true of Gold, which never can he produced without gold, nor yet silver without Silver; and let those who stray from this path be forcibly persuaded that they are wasting their time and their oil, and also when that they would waste upon it all of their wealth and work at it all the time of their lives. And in that there are many who spend long years at this work at great expense to themselves, I warn them that they are off the veritable path, for it needs not so much time nor excessive expense, for there is in this work almost no other thing that costs but the fire.

Not yet full sleping, nor yet full waking, But betweene twayne lying in a traunce; Halfe closed mine Eyne in my slumbering, Like a Man rapt of all cheer & countenance; By a manner of weninge & Rememberance Towards Aurora, ere Phoebus uprose, I dreamed one came to me to doe me pleasaunce That brought me a Boke with seven seals close...

about

The fifth return of the bass driven, atmospheric, serpentine orator Arvalastra, delivering a new manifesto focused on the microcosmos-macrocosmos hermetic tuitions, using as always the old scriptures of the philosophers as well as Dusk's own interpretations on the creation of the matter and the universe.
