That is indeed more dear than restoring thy sight unto thyself, should ye be suitable for this craft. Recognize then the Gold and the Silver, the Sun and the Moon, and the White and Crimson Gum, perchance ye may be informed. It is through such means that they say, “The Craft concerneth naught but the two Great Luminaries,” just as ye observe in the books of the people. Thus appreciate what they say, “Our Gold is not the gold of the common people, nor is the Silver,” could ye but understand. This is that which is named ‘The Master of Two Wings’ and is soaring within every body, and every divine Name applieth comparably unto It. For instance, It applieth unto the liquid, for It floweth and surgeth; It also applieth unto the fire, for It is torrid according to its nature; and likewise is the earth, because the hidden treasures within It becometh dry; and thus the firmament is a conglomeration of that hath been mingled together in harmony with It. Whosoever gazeth into the mysteries of the natural world testifieth of such and are of them who, by virtue of their detachment from all save God and their nearness unto Him, attaineth unto that exalted station.
