The object of our being here is to gain Experience. It is our Duty to ascend to the heights of the Mind, and take stock of Existence, in so far as it affects us. Knowledge thus gained will be the starting point of our mental career beyond. Wisdom acquired here is the beginning of Divine Wisdom. Many do not gain Wisdom, but all gain Experience. Those who rise to the height of their being may, or may not, give out their view to the world, or to that portion that knows of them; the main thing is to rise to a coign of vantage A "coign of vantage" is a favorable position that affords a wide or clear view; here it refers to a superior spiritual perspective., and get the Mind-View, that the Soul may be re-born in the flesh, and while having experience of Matter, to master it.

original: "EST IN MERCURIO SOLIS QUOD QUAERUNT SAPIENTES." In the language of alchemy, the "Mercury of the Sun" (Mercurio Solis) often represents a perfected spiritual essence or the "hidden gold" of the soul that seekers strive to uncover through inner work.
