Yenilenmiş Felsefe: Işıkların Babası'ndan İnen Amel

And this is that work which is taught in our Philosophia Reformata: namely, that this perfect Benefit of GOD descends from the Father of Lights, from the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. This is that work hidden under the garment of the Philosophical Virgin, which neither brother wished to teach brother. This is that Secret, stored and buried in the most secret treasures of Mind and Memory, upon which the more hidden genuine Philosophers swore, out of the subtlety of a sagacious wit, that they would not indicate it in any book; nor did any of them, keeping this knowledge in the bosom of their heart, reveal it, unless allegorically to those having understanding. For that faculty was indeed granted to Philosophers: that because they became Lords of things, they could also dispense Names at will, and clothe their offspring according to their pleasure. However, they attributed it to the glorious GOD, that He might inspire whom He wished according to His good pleasure, and prohibit whom He wished. Nevertheless, they holily affirmed that no one can arrive at the desired end before the Fat or Blood of the Sun and the Dew of the Moon are joined into one body through the circular wheel of Art and the benefit of Nature. This, unless the most high GOD wills it, will never happen. For the Spirit proceeds from grace, and inspires whom it wills.
