THE HIDDEN

MAGICAL SOUL;

original: Anima Magica Abscondita

OR

A Discourse of the universal

Spirit of Nature,

With its strange, hidden, and miraculous

ascent and descent.

By Eugenius Philalethes.

To know is to be in God.
original: Scire : in : Deo

But is the glass a mirror of God?
Or is it that which is the Soul in Action? So poured out into the Heavens.
original: Est autem Vitrum speculum Deum? an Quod in Actu est Anima? tam effusa in Coelum.
