love prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey into the hidden 0:54 mysteries of aspius where each word Echoes from the past resonating in the present reminding us that wisdom is 1:01 eternal and knowledge infinite first part the place of man in 1:08 the cosmos introduction every human soul asclepius 1:13 is Immortal but they are not all of the same kind rather they differ in character or time then Tris magistus not 1:21 All Souls have the same quality ah I see that you have soon abandoned the true Prudence of Reason have I not already 1:28 explained that everything is one one and that one is everything since everything already exists in the Creator before it 1:34 has been produced and with what reason is the creator called Everything given that all things are his members try not 1:42 to forget throughout this discussion that he alone is everything or he himself is the creator of the whole 1:47 Cosmos unity and totality everything that comes to the earth water or air 1:53 proceeds from the heaven of fire only the part that ascends is lifegiving 1:59 while the part that descends serves the first in general everything that 2:04 descends from above is generative while what emanates from below nourishes the 2:10 Earth unique in remaining stable in its own place is the receiver of all things of every kind and returns everything it 2:17 receives in this consists the all which agrees and possesses all things and is 2:23 all things soul and matter are set in motion by nature which imprisons them 2:28 and from this results the multif faed diversity of everything that appears however although we recognize an 2:34 infinite number of distinct species they are indeed Linked In A Unity to the effect that it seems that everything is 2:41 one and that everything has been born from it there are therefore 14 elements with which matter has been shaped fire 2:49 water Earth and air a single matter a single soul and a single God continuity 2:56 hierarchy and communication among beings now try to focus entirely on my words 3:02 with all the strength of your mind and all the subtlety you are capable of because truly the doctrine of divinity 3:09 apart from being understood only with an effort of Reason under divine inspiration resembles a powerful river 3:16 that flowing violently rushes from the heights so that if we are not alert it quickly and swiftly surpasses the 3:22 attention of The Listener as well as that of the speaker Heaven God perceptible to the senses is the 3:29 governor of all bodies that grow and decrease under the influence of the Sun and the Moon in turn Heaven along with 3:36 its own soul and all beings within it are governed by God their creator from 3:42 all these beings ruled by God emanates an abundant flow that penetrates Through The Souls of all kinds and all singular 3:49 types among the nature of things for its part matter has been arranged by God as 3:55 the receptacle of all kinds of forms and is modeled into forms through through the four elements by nature which 4:01 extends the set of beings to heaven so that they may be pleasing to the eyes of God furthermore all beings that depend 4:09 on the above are distributed in forms all singular types of beings follow their forms so that the genus is the 4:15 whole and the type is part of the genus thus the genus of gods for example 4:21 exteriorized the types of gods in the same way that it generates types similar to itself the genus of demons the genus 4:28 of men the genus of birds or the genus of any beings in the world there is 4:33 another genus of living being however a Genus without a soul but not lacking a certain sensitivity that makes it 4:40 Delight in what benefits it and weaken and die with what harms it I refer to 4:46 all those beings that feed from the earth through roots and Stems in good condition and whose types abound 4:52 throughout the Earth heaven for its part is full of God and the aforementioned Genera extend their residence to these 4:59 places Genera whose types are in any case Immortal because if the type is a 5:04 part of the genus for example a man of humanity in as much as it must follow 5:09 the quality of its genus then although all Genera are Immortal not all singular 5:15 types are however in the case of the Divine both genus and singular type are 5:21 Immortal as for the remaining classes immortality belongs to the genus for although singular types die the genus is 5:28 perpetuated through the succession of births so that the type is mortal and the genus is not for example a man is 5:35 Mortal Humanity Immortal now the types of each genus interrelate with all the 5:40 other Genera whether the types have been made initially or have been born from those that have been made because the 5:47 types are born by the work of gods demons or men and are similar to their respective gener without Divine mandate 5:54 it is impossible for bodies to be formed without the collaboration of demons individ indviduals cannnot receive their 6:01 form and without human intervention inanimate things cannot be constructed or attended to an example of the first 6:08 are those demons who by chance come from one genus to another and enter into relation with some type of the Divine 6:15 genus they are considered due to this proximity and interaction as similar to 6:20 the Gods on the other hand those demons who persevere in the quality of their genus are called philanthropic demons 6:27 similar considerations could be made about human although in a broader sense because the types of the human genus are multiform 6:34 and enormously varied indeed even though man proceeds from above where he has 6:40 Community with the aforementioned species he establishes numerous relations with all other species and 6:46 most of them by necessity in this sense some men endowed with Divine thought 6:51 manage to approach and connect with the gods through Divine piety other men by 6:56 uniting with demons enter into relations with them others satisfied with the 7:02 median age of their genus remain only men and the remaining types of men 7:07 finally assimilate to the Genera with whose types they have relations man the place of man in the 7:15 cosmos intermediary role man is therefore A great miracle a living being 7:21 worthy of veneration and honor a being that changes to the nature of a God as if he truly were one a being that 7:28 understands himself through the genus of demons knowing that his nature is congenial to theirs a being that 7:35 despises his mere human nature component fixed on the Divine character of his other part oh how blessed is the 7:43 composite nature of man he is linked to the Gods in consanguinous Divinity while 7:49 despising the part of himself that makes him Earthly he is united with the bond of love to all other beings to whom he 7:56 knows he is connected by Divine disposition he lifts his eyes to Heaven 8:01 giving his privileged intermediary place to both the beings that are inferior to him and being loved by those who surpass 8:08 him he cultivates the Earth mingles with the elements thanks to the agility of 8:13 his mind and descends to the depths with the penetration of his Spirit everything 8:19 is permitted to him not even the sky seems distant because he measures it closely thanks to his 8:25 Ingenuity no darkness of the air overshadows the application of his mind nor does the density of the earth hinder 8:32 his sight nor does the unfathomable depth of the waters obstruct his gaze he 8:38 is at the same time all things and is everywhere Divine character The 8:44 Noose regarding the Genera of living beings there are those animated ones that are provided with roots that go 8:51 from top to bottom while the inanimate ones form their stems through a root that acts from above on the other hand 8:58 there are beings that nourish themselves with two kinds of food while others with only one kind for there are two types of 9:05 nourishment that of the soul and that of the body which are the parts that constitute living beings the soul is 9:12 nourished by the permanent movement of the sky the body develops thanks to water and Earth both foods of the lower 9:18 world and the vital breath that reaches the whole universe mingles with all beings and vivifies them man for his 9:25 part adds thought to reason the fifth part that has been granted only to man and the only one that proceedes from The 9:31 Ether for among all living beings only man is adorned with thought which raises 9:37 and exalts him to the knowledge of the divine plan we have now reached the subject of thought but you will allow me 9:43 to defer its explanation because this is a very high and holy Doctrine in no way 9:49 inferior to that which deals with divinity itself here we see therefore 9:54 what we have begun to discuss at the beginning concerning the union with the gods which only enjoy and by Divine 10:01 consideration those men who have achieved the immense happiness of being the repositories of the Divine faculty 10:07 of thinking of the most Divine thought that exists only in God and in human 10:13 understanding then trismegistus thought is not uniformly given to all men indeed 10:19 asclepius because not all men attain true knowledge but some driven by rashness without adhering to any true 10:27 reason are deceived by a phantom born of the wickedness of their minds in this 10:32 way an excellent living being degenerates into the nature of a beast and the habits of an animal but I have 10:38 already told you that I will speak in depth about the subject of thought and all that refers to it when discussing 10:44 the vital breath the Dual nature of man structure man is the only living being 10:49 of dual nature one of his Parts is simple the Greeks call it essential and 10:55 we call it form Divine in likeness the other part is quad Drupal the Greeks 11:00 call it material and others call it mundane and from it the body has been made a body that envelops the part we 11:07 have called Divine so that thus covered and protected by the wall of the body 11:13 the Divinity of the pure mind can remain in itself with its peers that is with the senses of the pure mind but trism 11:20 magistus what made it necessary for man to come into this world why could he not 11:25 remain in that place where he is God enjoying the utmost happiness a well formulated question 11:32 esus and I pray to God that I may answer it adequately because your question refers to the Supreme whole and if 11:39 everything depends on the will of God this does so to an even greater extent 11:44 listen asclepius the Lord and maker of all things whom we rightly call God created from himself a second God 11:52 visible and sensible that it is sensible does not mean that it feels whether it feels or not is something we will 11:58 discuss at another time but that it can be seen by sight when he created this 12:04 God the first born of him and the second after him he found him beautiful as he 12:09 was completely filled with the goodness of all things and he loved him as a son in his divinity but as a God in his 12:16 greatness and goodness wishing that there should be another being who could behold the beauty of this God born of 12:21 himself he then created man the will of God implies total realization that is 12:29 willing and realizing are fulfilled at the same time this man who was to resemble God in his reason and care of 12:35 everything was created by God as essential only realizing that this man could not take care of all things unless 12:42 he was covered with a material covering he housed him in a bodily shelter and ordered that all men should have these 12:49 characteristics mixing and uniting portions of both Natures into a single being in a sufficient measure thus man 12:57 was constituted of soul and body of Eternal and Mortal nature so that he 13:02 could correspond to the Dual origin of his parts that is to admire and worship 13:08 Heavenly things while inhabiting and governing Earthly ones the double task 13:13 of man to order the Earthly and attend to worship when I speak here of the Mortal I do not refer to water and Earth 13:21 which of the four are the elements that nature subordinated to men but to everything that men do on these elements 13:27 or from them that is the the cultivation of the land pastures constructions ports 13:32 navigations Communications and mutual exchanges all that constitutes the firmest Bond among men themselves and 13:40 that part of the cosmos made of water and Earth a terrestrial part of the cosmos that is preserved thanks to the 13:46 knowledge and practice of the Arts and Sciences without which God did not wish the world to reach its Perfection for 13:53 what God decides is necessarily fulfilled his will implies realization 13:59 and it is inconceivable that he could be displeased with the result if he already knew long in advance what would result 14:05 and that it would please him but I have already noticed that you are anxious to hear how man can have love and care for 14:12 heaven and its inhabitants listen the love for the god of heaven and Celestial 14:17 beings consists solely in frequent acts of worship that only man and no other 14:23 Divine or Mortal being can perform Heaven and the celestial beings Delight in these acts of admiration piety praise 14:31 and deference by men that is why the Supreme God sent the chorus of the muses 14:36 among men for without them the terrestrial Cosmos would have seemed too coarse and men would not have been able 14:42 to use the songs inspired by them to better celebrate with praises the one who is the Son and father of all things 14:49 in this way sweet harmony would never be lacking on Earth due to Celestial Praises on the other hand some very few 14:56 men endowed with a pure mind have been graced with the venerable function of raising their eyes to Heaven however all 15:04 those who by the Constitution of their dual nature stop at a lower degree of intelligence weighed down by the bodily 15:10 Mass are all tasked with the care of the elements and even of the lower ones man 15:16 then is a partially mortal living being whose mortality does not seem to diminish him in any way on the contrary 15:23 it appears to have strengthened him to make him much more apt and effective in his composite character to ful fill a 15:29 specific plan indeed if he were not constituted of both substances he could not account for his dual task to attend 15:36 to the care of the Earthly and to love the Divinity now asclepius I want you to pay 15:42 close attention to the maxim I’m about to present and to apply yourself with all your perspicacity and a well- 15:48 awakened mind this is a Doctrine incredible to most and should be received whole and True by the most 15:54 sacred Minds well let’s begin God the Lord of Eternity is the first the cosmos is the second 16:02 and man is the third God is the creator of the cosmos and of all beings in it 16:09 and governs all things together with man who is the governor of what is ordered if man diligently assumes his task that 16:16 is if he diligently attends to the care of the world both he and the world become an ornament to each other in fact 16:24 it seems that man is called world or more correctly Cosmo in Greek because of 16:30 his Divine coordination man knows himself and knows the world and thanks to this he can 16:36 remember what suits his parts and what things he can use he can recognize whom 16:41 he should serve and to whom he should offer Supreme praise and thanksgiving he should venerate His Image and not ignore 16:48 that he too is a second image of God for there are two images of him the cosmos 16:55 and man this is the reason man is a unique assembly of two parts one of them 17:00 is composed of superior elements intelligence and thought spirit and Reason by which he is divine and seems 17:08 capable of ascending to heaven the other part is material composed of fire earth 17:13 water and air by which he is mortal and remains on Earth so that he does not Abandon All Things entrusted to his care 17:21 uncovered and unprotected therefore the Divine part of human nature was created mortal at the 17:27 same time by placing it in a body the Salvation piety and measure of man this 17:34 dual being are primarily summarized in piety which is the origin of goodness 17:40 perfect piety can only exist if the virtue of disdain has fortified it against all desire for foreign things 17:47 for foreign to everything that connects us with the gods are the things of this Earth that are possessed by a desire of 17:53 the body and are called possessions because they are not born with us but are possessed later giving us the sense 18:00 of the word possessions all such things including the body are foreign to man so that we 18:07 may despise all that we desire and the place from which the vice of Desire comes for it is fitting and rational for 18:13 me to conclude that man can only be such to the extent that through the contemplation of the Divinity he 18:20 despises and disdains his mortal part which has been incorporated into him because of his function of caring for 18:26 the lower World note in this sense that for man to be perfectly finished in each of his Parts he was endowed with four 18:33 elements in each of them on one side the two hands and the two feet which he uses 18:39 along with the other members of the body to serve the lower that is the Earthly World on the other side the spirit 18:46 thought memory and Prudence the four faculties that allow him to know and contemplate Divine things as a result 18:53 his investigation of the differences between things their qualities activities magnitudes 18:59 only leads to knowledge based on conjectures as he is hindered by the mass and imperfection of the body and 19:05 cannot penetrate them therefore in the true causes of the nature of things whether immortality or transmigration it 19:13 is there for this man thus produced and formed entrusted by God with such great 19:19 service and such veneration that is competent in his work of preserving the world and Pious in reverence to God 19:26 obedient with dignity and as necessary to the Divine will what do you think is the reward he deserves for truly one who 19:35 serves diligently and enhances the beauty of the world which is the work of God cooperates with the Divine will with 19:43 the sustenance of his body and in his daily work and care he brings order and 19:48 beauty that God modeled by his own will how are our ancestors rewarded what 19:54 reward do we also aspire to trusting and making vows if it pleases the Divine 20:00 will is the reward not this that when we have completed the time of our service 20:07 freed from the guardianship of the world and the bonds of mortality we are restored pure and holy to the condition 20:12 of our Superior part our divine part just and true is what you say Tris mistas for this is the reward that 20:20 awaits those who live in piety towards God and attend to the world with diligence but those who do not and live 20:27 impiously will see that Return To Heaven delayed and will begin an ignominious migration Unworthy of a holy spirit 20:35 incarnated in bodies as I understand more from your discourse trism Magistas I realize that 20:42 souls in this life are in grave danger concerning their hopes of future immortality evidently to some 20:49 immortality seems incredible to others a tale and to others even something worthy 20:55 of ridicule for in this bodily life the Delight obtained from possessions is so 21:00 sweet that it twists the Soul by the neck and binds man to that part of him by which he is Mortal while the 21:07 wickedness envious of immortality does not allow him to recognize his Divine 21:12 part philosophy the knowledge of Salvation furthermore I prophesy to you 21:19 that after us there will no longer be any pure love for philosophy which consists solely in the effort to know 21:26 God through frequent cont lation and holy piety in fact there are already 21:31 many Among Us who confuse it with all kinds of speculations how can they make philosophy incomprehensible or confuse 21:38 it with speculations for in this way the sness mixes philosophy with incomprehensible disciplines such as 21:45 arithmetic music and geometry however pure philosophy which only attends to 21:51 piety towards God should only concern itself with other Sciences to the extent that through them we Marvel at how the 21:58 Return of the Stars to their initial positions their predetermined seasons 22:03 and all their changes are regulated by number and that by knowing the dimensions qualities and quantities of 22:11 the Earth the depths of the Sea The Power of fire and the activities of nature in all of these man is led by 22:17 admiration to worship and praise the art and wisdom of God therefore the knowledge of music is only to understand 22:24 the orderly distribution of the whole universe and the divine plan by which each thing was assigned a place 22:31 for the arrangement that in an artistic plan gathers singular things into a single ho completes a very sweet and 22:38 true concert that produces divine order the men who will come after us deceived 22:43 by the cunning of the sophists will stray from the true pure and holy philosophy the philosophy untainted by 22:50 any Mass the Curiosity of spirit that consists solely in honoring God with simple minds and souls revering his 22:57 works and giving thanks to the Divine will the only one completely full of goodness and with this I conclude this 23:05 Treatise let’s now move on to the topic of the vital breath and analogous issues second part nature and kind of gods 23:13 worship and the first principles of the cosmos God in the beginning there 23:19 existed God and matter in Greek the vital breath accompanied matter or 23:24 rather was in matter but not in the same way that it was in God the same breath 23:29 and the original principles of the cosmos for although these things did not exist in fact since they had not yet 23:36 been generated they existed at least in what was to generate them for not 23:41 generated refers both to things that have not yet been born and to those that lack the capacity to generate that is 23:49 those from which nothing can come into being on the contrary any being that 23:54 naturally possesses the capacity to generate is capable of actually doing so 23:59 that is it can give rise to something else including the case of having been born from itself it is certain that one 24:06 who generates itself can easily generate others from whom all things are born 24:11 consequently the Eternal God the Eternal God cannot and could not be generated he 24:17 is what he is what he was and what he will always be such is the nature of God 24:24 which proceeds entirely from itself matter and the problem of evil on the other hand material nature and the vital 24:31 breath although they appear as ungenerated from the beginning possess in themselves both the power to be born 24:38 and the possibility to create indeed the principle of fecundity is a quality of 24:43 matter for it possesses in itself the power and natural capacity to conceive and give birth so that it is capable of 24:50 generating by itself without external intervention in conception on the 24:56 contrary those beings that need Union with the other sex to conceive must necessarily be separated thus this space 25:04 that contains the cosmos including all the beings within it this space I say 25:10 must necessarily be generated and possess within itself the capacity of both sexes I call space the place where 25:16 all things are for they could not exist without the place that contains them nothing would exist if it did not have a 25:23 reserved place in space nor could the qualities quantities positions and activities of of things be discerned if 25:29 they were not in any place therefore the capacity of matter lies in the fact that 25:35 even though it is ungenerated it contains within itself the ability to generate all things offering a fertile 25:42 womb for their conception in short all the actuality of matter is summed up in 25:49 being able to generate even without having been generated but if its own quality is to give birth it can also 25:56 give birth to evil until this moment asclepius and Ammon I have not referred 26:02 to a question that many might formulate as follows why does God not eliminate 26:07 evil and remove it from the nature of things this does not deserve any response however in consideration of you 26:14 I will proceed and explain this matter some say that God should have completely freed the world from evil but on the 26:21 contrary it is also entwined in what seems like a part of him in saying this 26:27 they do not consider that the supreme god not only foresaw it in advance but also took measures regarding it by 26:33 providing the minds of men with thought knowledge and understanding for with these faculties which make us Superior 26:39 to other living beings we alone can avoid the deceptions treachery and vices 26:44 of wickedness he who is able to shun these things by their mere appearance before being involved in them can be 26:50 said to be fortified by Divine wisdom and Prudence for the foundation of any science lies in the Supreme goodness of 26:57 God in the Numa the vital breath all beings in the cosmos are supplied and vivified 27:03 according to the orders of the supreme god To Whom It obeys as its organ or instrument but this is enough concerning 27:11 this topic the three principles of the god called Supreme perceptible only to the intelligence is the guide and 27:18 governor of this sensible God who encompasses within himself all places all substances of things all matter of 27:25 what is born and reproduced everything in some regardless of its quality or dimmension through the vital breath all 27:33 species in the cosmos are set in motion and directed according to the nature that God assigned to each in the third 27:41 place matter is the receptacle of all beings their changes and their multiplicity and everything is governed 27:47 by God who assigns to each being what it needs and fills everything with the vital breath infused according to the 27:54 nature of each one both the material and the intelligible the round cavity of the 27:59 cosmos by its quality and spherical form is not fully visible because if you 28:05 hypothetically Place yourself anywhere on its upper part and look downward you cannot distinguish what is at the bottom 28:12 therefore some attribute to it dimensions and characteristics of space but this partial visibility is nothing 28:19 more than an illusion for the sphere appears decorated by forms sculpted upon it as images of ideas while in reality 28:27 it is invisible from any point of view hence if its bottom exists it is called 28:32 Aries of Jane in Greek because the bottom of the sphere is also invisible 28:38 ideas are also called forms to the extent that they are visible in Greek because there is the invisible and it is 28:44 from the abyss because it is at the bottom of the sidewalk these are the fundamental and original principles of 28:50 all things for everything exists in them through them or starting from them and 28:56 all this of which you speak Tris magistus is the substance of all species existing in the cosmos and of each one 29:03 in particular so to speak material for matter nourishes bodies and breath nourishes Souls however thought that 29:11 Celestial gift enjoyed by men not by all but only by the few whose minds are 29:16 prepared to receive such a great privilege illuminates the human mind just as the sun illuminates the cosmos 29:22 and in a more enduring manner for in the case of the sun everything it illuminates loses its light when Night 29:29 comes due to the interposition of the Earth and the moon thought on the other hand once United with the human soul 29:36 forms with it a single substance molded by a well adjusted life so that Souls of 29:42 this nature are never hindered by the errors of Darkness therefore it has been 29:47 unjustly said that the soul of the Gods is thought although I would specify that this is true not of all gods but only of 29:55 the greatest and principal ones intelligent ible Gods sensible Gods gods of names principles of things and 30:03 foundations of the primordial great are the secrets that I am about to reveal to you therefore 30:09 before I begin I pray to heaven to allow me to reveal to you these Divine Mysteries there are many kinds of gods 30:16 among them some are intelligible and others sensible intelligible does not 30:22 mean that they are inaccessible to our cognition in fact we know them better than the so- called sensible ones my 30:30 Exposition will show this to you thoroughly and if you pay attention you will see it clearly for this Sublime 30:37 Doctrine too Divine not to easily surpass the efforts of the human mind if 30:42 you do not receive them with the atmost attention trusting your ears to the words of the speaker they will pass you 30:48 by and continue on their course or even more flow back upon themselves and 30:53 return to mix with the liquids of their Source first of all there are the Gods Gods princes of all species of gods 31:01 after them come the gods who have received a share of their Essence these are sensible made in the likeness of 31:07 their double origin and they devote themselves to producing all things in the sensible world one through the other 31:14 each Illuminating its work Jupiter is the ruler of the sky whatever is designated by this name for through him 31:21 Jupiter dispenses life to all beings light that Ark of the Sun for the good 31:27 of light is diffused over us through the solar disc the 36 those called the fixed 31:33 stars in the same place have light and AR or Prince the oneall uniform or 31:38 panamorph which through it provides diverse forms to the diverse types the so-called seven spheres have barasia 31:45 arcs that is princes of themselves fortune and Destiny through which all 31:51 things Diversified in perpetual motion change according to natural law and 31:56 unalterable disposition the organ or instrument of all these Gods is the air through which all things 32:03 are made its Arc is the second to Immortal things the Mortal things already these their equals in this way 32:10 all things close to one another are intertwined with others in a correspondence that extends from the 32:16 deepest to the highest but mortal things are bound to Immortal things and 32:21 sensible things to intelligible things moreover the whole universe obeys the supreme ruler the Lord so that it is not 32:29 many things but only one indeed all things hang and emanate from the one for 32:35 if considered separately it gives the impression of being countless but in its entirety they are nothing but one thing 32:42 or rather two that from which all things are made and that which has made them that is the matter that constitutes them 32:50 and the will of God by whose command alone they are engendered in so many distinct forms the supreme god 32:57 denomination and bisexuality can you explain to me this Doctrine Tris 33:03 mistas look asclepius God the father and Lord of all things or whatever other 33:09 more holy and Pious denomination men may attribute to him for if we attribute a 33:15 name to understand ourselves Among Us this obliges us to be sacred although in 33:20 consideration of such eminent Divine Majesty no name can do him Justice for 33:26 if the human word is this a sound produced by the percussion of air with breath and emitted with the purpose of 33:32 expressing any intention or thought conceived in the mind from the senses a name whose substance composed of few 33:38 syllables will be entirely determined and circumscribed so as to enable necessary communication between the 33:45 interlocutors and if also the name of God is composed of sensation breath and 33:51 air and all that they bear does it not produce more pure Than Hope can Harbor from the creator of all Majesty 33:58 the father and Lord of all things I may be called with a single name or a 34:04 compound of many so God being both one and all completely full of the power of 34:10 both sexes permanently pregnant with his own will gives birth eternally to what 34:15 he wants to create for his will is goodness a goodness that spreads among all things born naturally of his 34:22 divinity so that all beings retain their current and past identity and provide 34:27 future beings with the ability to reproduce in this way asclepius the 34:33 doctrine about why and how all things are made is transmitted to you excursus 34:40 the mystery of Divine sex have I heard correctly trism magistus that God is 34:46 bisexual yes and not only God but all living and non-living beings and there 34:53 can be no infertile being because if we deprive the beings that exist at this 34:58 moment of their fertility they could not preserve their identity in the future because I said it is natural to feel and 35:05 in gender and that the cosmos contains this nature and preserves all generated 35:11 beings indeed both sexes are filled with procreative force and the conjunction of 35:17 both or rather their Union properly called Cupid or Venus or both is a mystery that we cannot comprehend keep 35:25 this in your mind as something that truly surpasses current evidence now I want to emphasize 35:30 something else the Lord of all nature God has invented and assigned to all 35:36 beings the mystery of Eternal procreation a mystery innate to them encompassing affection joy happiness 35:42 desire and divine love I must underscore what power and necessity lie within this 35:47 mystery if one does not know it well enough each of you can understand it by considering your innermost feelings 35:54 consider that Supreme moment reached through continuous friction observing how each nature pours its seed into the 36:01 other and how eagerly they snatch it from one another and hide it within themselves that moment when following 36:08 their common Union females appropriate the energy of males and the latter Tire 36:13 in female eagerness indeed the summit of this mystery something so sweet and 36:18 necessary should be consumated in secrecy so that the Divinity of both Natures is not ashamed of the sexual act 36:26 it becomes the subject of ridicule from ignorant masses or Worse the scrutiny of impious men Earthly Gods Divine 36:34 character of man are not plentiful indeed Pious men are so few that they 36:39 could be counted among all the people in the world conversely wickedness abounds in the majority due to lack of wisdom 36:46 and knowledge of reality to reject and remedy all Vice in the world it is 36:51 necessary to comprehend the divine plan that has designed all things thus when 36:57 ignorance and lack of knowledge persist unscathed evil is restored and breaches the soul with incurable vices that 37:04 infect and corrupt it the sole complete remedy for this Soul swollen as if by 37:09 poison resides in science and knowledge even if only for the few who possess it 37:15 it is worth continuing and completing this Exposition on why Divinity only made men participants in their 37:21 understanding and knowledge pay attention then when God the father and Lord created men after the Gods 37:28 combining in equal measure the material and corruptible part with the Divine The Vices of the material once joined to the 37:35 bodies remained in them along with those resulting from our need for food and sustenance common to other living beings 37:42 for through food the appetites of Desire settle in the human soul along with all 37:47 other vices the Gods on the other hand were fashioned from the purest part of 37:53 matter and need no assistance from reason and science though immort ity and the rigor of Eternal youth make them 37:59 akin to wisdom and science God instituted for them as science and knowledge the order of necessity in the 38:06 form of Eternal law so that they would not be estranged from them and the unity of his plan would be maintained at the 38:13 same time God distinguished man unique among living beings with the exclusive 38:19 gift of reason and science so that through them he could reject and expel bodily vices and strive towards the hope 38:26 and Will of immortal ity in short God modeled man with both Natures the Divine 38:31 and the Mortal for those who would be good and could attain immortality such a 38:37 man ordained by Divine will is superior both to Gods constituted solely of 38:42 immortal nature and to other Mortals therefore man united to the gods by bonds of kinship venerates them with 38:49 piety and sanctity while they in turn care for and watch over everything concerning men with affectionate care 38:56 naturally I refer to those few men endowed with a Pious mind as for the 39:02 perverted indeed we should not even speak lest this Most Holy discourse be advanced in their presence since the 39:09 discourse itself has led us to speak of kinship and the community that binds men with the gods now know esus the power 39:17 and strength of man the man Artisan of gods just as the Lord and father to what 39:22 is higher God is the creator of the celestial gods likewise man is the 39:28 Artisan of the Gods who dwell in temples pleased with human proximity so that man 39:34 not only is enlightened but also enlightens not only projects towards God 39:39 but also projects gods are you amazed clo or do you not believe it like most 39:45 not I Tris magistus I confused but freely believe your words and consider that man having attained such a 39:52 wonderful Destiny must be completely happy indeed more than I man is truly 39:57 worthy of admiration and more eminent than any other being because if we refer to the race of the Gods it is evident 40:05 recognized by all that they are constituted of the purest part of matter and almost only manifest in the form of 40:12 head but not with the other members however the figures of the Gods produced by man are modeled from both Natures the 40:19 purest and entirely worthy of a God that which man possesses namely the matter 40:24 with which they have been molded moreover these figures are not limited only to the head but are modeled with 40:30 the entire body with all its members therefore Humanity in remembrance of its 40:36 nature and origin perseveres in its thirst imitating Divinity for just as 40:42 the father and Lord created the Eternal Gods to be similar to him thus man fashion his gods in the likeness of his 40:49 own facial features you refer to statues trismegistus to statues asclepius do you 40:56 realize how difficult it is for you to believe too because these are animated statues endowed with thought and filled 41:03 with vital breath capable of doing a great many things of all kinds statues 41:09 that know beforehand the future predict it through luck divination dreams and 41:14 many other methods heal diseases in men and Inspire Joy or sadness according to 41:19 our merits prophecy death and regeneration of the cosmos perhaps you 41:24 are unaware that Egypt is the image of Heaven or more accurately the projection and descent down here of all that is 41:31 governed and set in Motion in heaven indeed if we are to tell the truth our Earth is the Temple of the entire Cosmos 41:39 but as it is fitting that prudent men know beforehand the future it is not permissible for them to be ignorant of 41:45 this a time will come when it will seem that the Egyptians have been faithful in vain to Divinity that their piety 41:53 attentive devotion and all their holy veneration will be revealed as ineffective and sterile a time will come 42:00 when the gods will hastily return from Earth to heaven and leave Egypt a country that was the seat of religious 42:06 practices deserted it will be stripped of the Gods and will never again enjoy 42:12 their presence for foreigners will ravage this country showing contempt for religion and what is more serious 42:19 prohibiting with alleged laws and underprescribed penalties all religious practices of emotion or worship to the 42:25 gods this sacred land the seat of sanctuaries and temples will then be 42:31 covered with tombs and corpses oh Egypt Egypt of your religion 42:37 only fables Will Survive and these will be incredible to your Descendants the words recounting your Pious deeds will 42:44 only remain engraved in Stones your land will be invaded by the Assyrian the Indian or any other barbarous neighbor 42:52 the gods will return to Heaven The Forsaken men will die altogether and then o Egypt deprived of Gods and Men 43:00 you will become a desert to You Most Holy River I address myself to you and I 43:06 announce future events a flood of blood will reach your Shores and overflow them and not only your Divine Waters but all 43:13 will be profaned by Blood and overflowed the number of dead will far exceed that of the living and the Survivor will be 43:20 recognized as Egyptian only by their language because by their deeds they will appear different why do you weep 43:27 asclepius Egypt is destined to undergo something more serious and much worse than these things worse calamities will 43:34 defile Egypt even more in another time holy and beloved by Divinity the sole 43:40 foundation of the Gods on Earth by its Master piety Holiness and devotion will 43:46 become a model of extreme impiety then that Cosmos will no longer be something worthy of admiration or 43:53 reverence for men who have despised all this good Cosmos which is nothing better than it can be 43:59 imagined to have been is now or ever will be in grave danger and will become 44:05 a burden difficult to bear for men who will disdain and come to hate the cosmos this inimitable work of God a glorious 44:13 construction orderly arranged by the multiple diversity of forms instrument of divine will that dispenses without 44:20 Envy all gifts to its work assembly one and diverse at the same time in a single 44:25 hole of all that can be cons considered worthy of admiration praise and love men will prefer Darkness to light and judge 44:33 death more useful than life no one will lift their eyes to the sky the pious man 44:38 will be considered insane the impious wise the madman Furious will be considered Brave and the most evil man 44:45 good the soul and its Doctrine which is Immortal by nature or which is certainly 44:50 believed to attain immortality as I have taught you will not only be laughed at but will be considered a fantasy of of 44:57 Pride whoever devotes himself to the religion of the mind believe me will be guilty of capital punishment new rights 45:04 and a new law will be instituted nothing holy nothing Pious nor anything worthy 45:10 of heaven and Celestial beings will ever be heard or harbored again in the human 45:15 mind after the painful separation of gods from men only evil angels will 45:21 remain on Earth those who United with men violently push them to all kinds of wicked audacity War theft deceit and 45:29 everything contrary to the nature of the soul the Earth will be destabilized the 45:34 sea will cease to be navigable and the sky will be deprived of the course of the stars and the path of the Stars 45:41 Divine voices will be forced into silence the fruits of the earth will rot Barren it will become and the Very air 45:48 will languish in Sinister in action this will be the old age of the cosmos impiety disorder and irrationality of 45:56 all the that is good but when all this has been accomplished asclepius then the Lord and father God maker of the first 46:03 and only God after noting these customs and voluntary behaviors will by his will 46:09 which is divine goodness put an end to Vice in the corruption of all things will abolish error and put an end to all 46:15 evil will deny evil with a flood will consume it with fire and will 46:20 exterminate it with pestilential diseases scattered in different places 46:25 after that he will restore the world to its ancient Beauty until it seems worthy 46:30 again of reverence and admiration and the men of this new world will once again praise goodbye to the producer and 46:37 restorer of such a great work with frequent hymns of praise and blessing a 46:43 regeneration of the world that will mean the renewal of all good things the Restoration in Holiness and piety of 46:49 nature itself imposed on the course of time by the Divine will which is and was 46:55 without beginning and eternal and which remains identical to itself throughout eternity because the intention of his 47:01 will is the same nature of God therefore this intention is the Supreme good no 47:07 Tris magistus look asclepius from the intention comes the will and this in 47:12 turn gives rise to abolition he does not intensely want anything who possesses everything and wants what he has who 47:19 also wants all that is good and has how much he wants because this is God and 47:24 the cosmos of his image and since it comes from someone good it is also good 47:30 good or the cosmos trism magistus good asclepius now I explain it to you just 47:35 as God dispenses and distributes among all types and genres of the cosmos everything good namely thought soul and 47:42 life in the same way the cosmos distributes and provides all these things that seem good to Mortals this is 47:49 the alternation of the seasons the germination the development and ripening of fruits and similar things 47:56 intelligible and sensible gods are everywhere observing all things around them while dwelling on the sensitive 48:01 apex of the highest heaven for there is a place beyond heaven a place without stars and alien to all corporeal things 48:10 that governs Our Lives which we call Jupiter he occupies his place between Earth and Heaven on the other hand 48:17 Jupiter plutonian is the Lord of Earth and sea and nourishes Mortal living 48:22 beings that produce fruits thanks to the energy of these gods the fruits the trees and the Earth are vivified by them 48:30 and there are still other gods whose energies and effects are distributed among all that exists prophecy will come 48:36 on the day when the gods who exercise dominion over the Earth will abandon their places they will establish 48:43 themselves in a city located at the farthest boundary of Egypt towards the Setting Sun and towards it will head all 48:50 Mortal kind by land and sea at that time where will these gods PR magistus be 48:57 settled in a great City on the Libyan Mountain but now with this theme of 49:03 death and immortality Judgment of souls follows and it is necessary that we 49:09 speak about the immortal and the Mortal because for many men ignorant of the truth the anticipation and fear of death 49:16 torment them death occurs with the dissolution of the body exhausted by 49:21 labor once the number upon which all its members are adjusted like a useful instrument for life is fulfilled 49:29 therefore the body dies when it can no longer support the vital activities of man and death is nothing but the 49:35 dissolution of the body and The Disappearance of bodily sensibility therefore it is useless to 49:42 worry about it but there is another cause for concern unnecessary indeed 49:47 which men despise due to ignorance or disbelief what is it that men ignore or do not believe Tris magistus listen 49:55 asclepius once the soul has separated from the body it must undergo judgment and 50:01 examination of its Merit under the authority of the Supreme demon if after 50:07 careful consideration it finds a Pious and just Soul then it allows it to 50:12 remain in the places that correspond to it but if it finds it dirty with faults 50:17 and stained with vices it casts it down from above to below delivering it to 50:23 storms and whirlwinds in a place where Discord often occurs between air a fire and water this is so that Between Heaven 50:30 and Earth it is forever shaken and tossed to and fro by the turbulences of matter and this is its Eternal 50:36 punishment and therein its own immortality harms it as it is subjected by an immortal sentence to endless 50:43 torment realize that it is the power of seeing ourselves implicated in something like this that should truly frighten us 50:50 that should distress us and that should put us on guard because unbelievers 50:55 after their crimes will will be forced to believe not with words but with Deeds not with threats but with the very 51:01 suffering of punishments but Tris mistas it is not human law that punishes men’s crimes 51:09 firstly everything Earthly is mortal and therefore those who live and die due to 51:15 the body’s cause are also mortal on the other hand men are subject to punishments according to the merits and 51:21 faults of this life but after death they will also be subjected to penalties even more severe depending on how hidden The 51:28 Faults of their life remained while they lived because as Divinity forn knows all things punishments are adjudicated in 51:35 just retribution for crimes who are the ones condemned to the greatest punishments trism magistus those who are 51:42 condemned to Violent death by human laws because their death does not appear as payment of their debt to nature but as 51:49 retribution for their crimes on the contrary the just man has his refuge in 51:54 the worship of God and the highest piety for God protects these men from all evil 52:00 indeed the father and Lord of All Things who is all in all manifests to everyone 52:06 by his own will but not in one place nor as something nor with a certain magnitude instead he illuminates man 52:14 with the self- knowledge of the mind and when the darkness of error is dispelled from his soul and the clarity of Truth 52:20 is acquired man unites with all his thought in Divine knowledge through this 52:25 love he is liberated from the part of his nature that makes him mortal and gains confidence in future 52:32 immortality such is the vast distance that separates the good man from The Wicked because the righteous man 52:38 illuminated by piety religion Prudence worship and reverence to God knows 52:43 almost with his own eyes the true reasons for things and by the certainty his belief gives him he becomes as 52:50 Superior to all other men as the sun itself is to all other stars by its light for the Sun illuminates the other 52:57 stars not so much by the power of its light but by its Divinity and sanctity 53:03 indeed Aus You Must Believe In The Sun as the second God the one who governs and illuminates all living beings 53:10 terrestrial animated and inanimate alike then nothing mortal can be in it in fact 53:17 if each of its parts subsists forever identical to itself within the bosom of this Cosmos always one that lives and 53:24 lives eternally that then mortality in any way does not fit into it therefore 53:30 if it is necessary for it to live forever it must be completely filled with life and Eternity if the cosmos is 53:37 eternal then the sun itself is eternal the governor of the sources of life and of all liveliness to which it attends 53:44 and provides diligently God governs eternally living beings and vivifies them before they exist in the world and 53:51 eternally provides life itself but this provision was made once and for all 53:56 it provided life to all vital things by an eternal law in the manner I will explain to you the cosmos moves in the 54:03 very life of Eternity and its place is located in this living eternity 54:09 therefore it cannot remain motionless nor be destroyed as it is enveloped and 54:14 almost constrained by this living eternity in turn the cosmos provides 54:19 life to all beings inhabiting it and is the Abode of all beings governed Under the Sun the movement of the COS is the 54:27 result of a double activity on the one hand it is vivified from the outside by 54:32 eternity on the other hand it vivifies in turn everything within it 54:37 diversifying all things according to numbers and times established by the action of the sun and the movement of 54:44 the stars in regulated periods of time instituted by Divine Law terrestrial time is discerned by the 54:51 quality of the air through the alternation of warm and cold periods celestial Time by The Return of the 54:58 Stars to their proper places during their periodic Revolution the cosmos is 55:03 the receptacle of Time and Time sustains life with its course and movement the 55:09 course of time is regulated according to a strict order and in this ordered passage time produces the renewal of the 55:15 alternation of all things within the cosmos as all things are subject to these processes there is nothing stable 55:23 nothing fixed nor immobile among celestial or terrestrial things but only 55:28 God and rightly so because only God is in himself and by himself centered 55:34 entirely on himself full and perfect he is his firm stability for what external 55:40 impulse can move him from his place if all things are in him and he alone is in all things unless we dare to think that 55:48 his movement occurs in eternity but not even that because eternity also remains 55:53 motionless as everything returns to it and in it begins the movement of all times God has always remained at rest 56:01 and Eternity like him remains immobile eternally containing within itself even 56:07 before this Cosmos that we rightly call Sensible a cosmos made in the image of God in so far as it imitates 56:14 eternity therefore although time is always in motion it possesses a faculty of stability that resides in its need to 56:21 return to itself something similar but reverse happens with eternity it is 56:27 stable and mobile fixed and yet the course of time which is mobile is always 56:32 restored in eternity through a regulated cyclical movement of them it follows 56:38 that immovable eternity undoubtedly in itself seems to move because of time in 56:44 which it itself is given and in which all movement occurs so that paradoxically from the immobility of 56:50 Eternity movement results and from the mobility of time stability 56:57 it passes according to a stable law in this strict sense it can be thought that God moves in himself while remaining 57:04 immobile in fact the movement of his stability results immobile because of 57:09 his Infinity for the law of the infinite presupposes immobility under these 57:15 conditions this God imperceptible to the senses is indeterminate ungraspable and 57:21 incomparable so that we cannot discover reach and retain him where where how or 57:28 who he is everything about him remains uncertain to us he moves in the most 57:33 absolute stability and his stability in him whether it be God or eternity or both or one or the other or each of the 57:40 two in one and the other therefore eternity lacks the limits of time and in turn time is eternal although it can be 57:47 delimited either by number by alternation or by return otherwise by 57:53 virtue of the revolution of the stars both Time and Eternity manifest themselves as infinite as Eternal but as 58:01 stability eternity is fixed so that it can contain within itself everything 58:06 that moves and rightly obtains hegemony by virtue of this firmness therefore the 58:12 first principles of all that exists are God and Eternity on the other hand the 58:18 cosmos does not enjoy this privilege as it is movable where Mobility predominates over stability although it 58:24 possesses as the law of its eternal movement and immovable firmness excursus the hierarchy of new 58:32 the levels of knowledge thought is similar in everything to Divinity and remains therefore immobile in itself 58:37 while moving in its stability it is Holy Incorruptible Eternal and any other 58:43 attribute that more dignified designates The Eternity of the supreme god which subsists in the truth of itself and is 58:50 completely filled with all the non-sensible forms and The Ordering of the whole and thus subsists with 58:57 God the thought of the cosmos is the receptacle of all sensible forms and orders human thought finally depends on 59:05 the capacity of its own memory which allows man to remember how many things he has accomplished up to this point man 59:12 descends in his divinity of thought for the supreme god did not allow Divine thought to mingle with all living beings 59:19 lest he be ashamed of his Union with inferior beings the knowledge corresponding to human thought its 59:25 character and extension depends exclusively on the memory of the past because it is by virtue of this 59:32 retentive capacity that man has been able to establish himself as ruler of the Earth the knowledge of the nature 59:39 and character of the thought of the cosmos results from the observation of all things in the cosmos the thought of 59:46 Eternity is second in rank it shows itself and its character is discerned in 59:51 the sensible Cosmos but the only truth is the knowledge of the character and the character itself of the thought of 59:58 the supreme god however of this truth we cannot discern any Trace not even a 1:00:04 sketch in this sensible Cosmos because there where things are discerned under the dimension of time there are nothing 1:00:12 but lies where things are born in time error appears consider asclepius of what 1:00:20 things we dare to speak and what things we pretend to achieve even while we are 1:00:26 established in these places therefore I give thanks to you supreme god because 1:00:32 you have illuminated me with the light of your vision as for you esclipus keep 1:00:37 the love stored in the innermost recesses of your hearts for these Divine Mysteries covered and keep them secret 1:00:44 however intelligence differs from thought in the following our intelligence can only reach and engage 1:00:50 in mental effort the kind of apprehension and discernment that corresponds to the character of the 1:00:56 thought of the cosmos on the other hand intelligence of chaos can access knowledge of Eternity and the gods who 1:01:03 are above it therefore to men it is only given to see the things of Heaven as 1:01:08 through a dark Veil to the extent that the condition of our thought allows it but our greatly restricted capacity 1:01:15 becomes immensely expanded when it enjoys inner Vision the cosmos fullness 1:01:21 and complexion non-existence of emptiness as for emptiness to which most 1:01:27 people give so much importance I think that it neither exists nor has it been able to exist nor will it ever exist in 1:01:34 any way for all parts of the cosmos are perfectly filled just as the cosmos 1:01:39 itself is perfectly full and replete with bodies that differ in quality and form which have their own figures and 1:01:47 magnitudes there are some larger and others smaller with different degrees of density and subtlety the denser and 1:01:54 larger ones are easily per ceptible while the smaller and more subtle ones are difficult to see or not seen at all 1:02:01 and we only perceive them by touch this is what leads many to believe that there are no bodies but rather empty spaces 1:02:09 this is entirely impossible as just as the space outside the cosmos if such a 1:02:14 thing exists and I do not believe it does must be filled with intelligible beings suitable to its divine nature 1:02:20 similarly the so-called sensible Cosmos must be perfectly filled with bodies and 1:02:25 living beings corresponding to its nature and quality however we do not perceive these sensible beings in their 1:02:32 actual appearance some we see as excessively large beyond measure While others as too small this illusion arises 1:02:40 either from the length of the intervening space or from the weakness of our vision there are other bodies 1:02:46 finally which due to their reduced dimensions are considered non-existent by the majority I refer to the demons 1:02:53 who are among us I believe and to the hero who dwell among the purest part of what is above us that place not covered 1:03:00 by mist or clouds nor disturbed by the activity of any Star therefore aspius do 1:03:06 not say of anything that it is empty unless you specify what it is empty of empty of fire of water or of something 1:03:13 similar for although it may be the case that something lacks things of that nature it is impossible for something 1:03:19 that seems empty no matter how small or large it may be to be devoid of breath 1:03:25 and Air the same can be said of place a term that is meaningless if considered in 1:03:31 isolation for place is always the place of something whatever it may be and if we deprive it of its principle we 1:03:38 mutilate the meaning of the word therefore we should say in place of water in place of fire or tin or similar 1:03:44 things for just as it is impossible for there to be something empty of something it is inconceivable for a place to exist 1:03:51 without something however if you imagine a place without that of which it is the place 1:03:56 it will give you the impression that it is an empty place but I do not believe such a thing can exist in the cosmos 1:04:03 because Emptiness is nothingness and even regarding Place itself it cannot appear unless you add to it as to human 1:04:10 bodies the three dimensions length width and height intelligible Cosmos and 1:04:16 sensible Cosmos keeping these considerations in mind aspius and other 1:04:21 listeners know that the intelligible Cosmos which can only be discerned with the eye of the mind is incorporeal and 1:04:29 nothing corporeal can intrude into its nature that is nothing that can be distinguished by quality quantity and 1:04:36 number for in it nothing of such characteristics exists on the other hand 1:04:42 this so-called sensible Cosmos is the receptacle of all sensible forms or 1:04:47 qualities of bodies and this whole collection cannot be animated without the assistance of God for God is all 1:04:55 every everything proceeds from him everything depends on his will and he is all good beautiful wise and incomparable 1:05:03 perceptable and intelligible only to himself a god without whom nothing was 1:05:08 is or will be everything is from him and through him the diverse and multiform 1:05:14 qualities the immense and measurable quantities and all types of forms you should give thanks to him aspius if you 1:05:21 manage to understand all this and if you carefully consider this whole you will realize how both the sensible Cosmos and 1:05:28 how much it contains within it are covered as by a garment by that Superior 1:05:33 Cosmos archetype sensible form and individual in each kind of living being 1:05:40 whether mortal or Immortal rational or irrational animated or 1:05:45 inanimate every individual by virtue of its belonging to him acquires the appearance of its kind therefore every 1:05:53 living being possesses in its entirety the form of its kind however within the 1:05:58 strict limits of this form individuals differ from each other for example the 1:06:04 humankind is uniform for we can distinguish it from other kinds of living beings by appearance alone 1:06:10 however within this form of its own individuals differ from each other in fact the ideal type is divine and 1:06:17 incorporeal or like anything that can be learned with the mind but the individual forms composed of two elements one by 1:06:24 another in corporeal or not cannot be born identical to each other in distant points of space and time for they change 1:06:32 as many times as there are moments in the period of the revolution of the celestial Circle in which resides the 1:06:38 god named Morpho thus the archetype remains unaltered in itself while it 1:06:44 produces as many copies as diverse as the moments in the world’s Revolution that change in the course of its passage 1:06:51 the ideal type that changes my Orbit therefore the for of each kind is 1:06:56 permanent even when there are individual differences in that form multiplicity 1:07:01 and change trism magistus also changes in appearance the cosmos you understand clenis I explain 1:07:09 things as if I were speaking to a sleeping person what is the cosmos made of but all born beings you as me then 1:07:17 about the sky the earth and the elements in that case is there anything that changes appearance more frequently than 1:07:22 these things look at the sky which is sometimes wet and other times dry which 1:07:28 cools and heats up which clears or clouds over do you want more different 1:07:33 appearances for the same form look at the Earth constantly showing us different appearances when it holds 1:07:39 seeds in its womb when it nourishes sprouts when it assigns its products varied and different qualities and when 1:07:46 it stops or continues its development and especially when it administers qualities scents flavors and forms to 1:07:53 different trees flowers and fruits consider finally how many Divine mutations fire undergoes and how the Sun 1:08:01 and the Moon adopt all forms for in this they are somewhat similar to our mirrors 1:08:06 as they reflect copies similar to Ideal forms with a rival splendor but we have 1:08:11 already sufficiently dealt with this topic of Earthly Gods their creation and 1:08:16 faculties let us now return to the subject of man and divine reason the 1:08:22 gift that qualifies him as a rational animal everything we have said so far about man worthy of admiration though it 1:08:29 may be is inferior to another of his faculties for among all the Marvels in 1:08:35 man what undoubtedly produces astonishment is his ability to discover the nature of the Gods to produce it a 1:08:42 merit that belongs to our ancestors for although initially they were completely mistaken about the doctrine of the Gods 1:08:49 and did not believe in them they paid attention to piety towards God later 1:08:54 they invented the art of making making gods when they managed to find the suitable substance they added a virtue 1:08:59 of material nature but since they lacked the capacity to shape Souls they evoked 1:09:04 those of demons and angels and introduced them into images through holy and divine rights so that the idols had 1:09:11 the power to do good and evil asclepius your own grandfather is an example of 1:09:17 this he was the first inventor of medicine and there is a Temple dedicated to him on the Libyan Mountain near the 1:09:24 banks of the crocodile where the material man lies that is the body since the rest or rather everything 1:09:32 if the whole man consists of the consciousness of Life returned to heaven and still today provides his help with 1:09:38 his divine power to sick men just as he did in life with the art of medicine or 1:09:44 the case of the one whose name I am honored to carry Hermes my grandfather who resides in his hometown now named 1:09:50 after him does he not help and Safeguard all Mortals who come to him from every everywhere the same can be said of Isis 1:09:58 wife of Osiris we know the great amount of benefits she dispenses when she is favorable and how many men she harms 1:10:04 when she is irritated because Earthly and material Gods having been made and composed of both Natures by humans 1:10:12 easily become angered therefore the Egyptians solemnly declare these animals sacred and venerate in each City The 1:10:19 Souls of those animals whose Souls have been deified while alive to the extent that they live under their laws and are 1:10:26 named after them however the revered and venerated animals in one city are not so 1:10:31 in another and this is the cleanest cause of the constant Wars among Egyptian cities Tris magistus what kind 1:10:38 of virtue do these so-called Earthly gods have look asclepius this virtue is 1:10:44 based partly on a combination of herbs stones and aromatic plants that inherently possess Divine properties 1:10:51 moreover these gods are delighted with frequent sacrifices hymns praises and concerts of sweetest 1:10:58 sound in the tone of celestial Harmony so that through the repetition of divine 1:11:04 acts the celestial element in the Idol May happily endure its stay among men 1:11:09 for a long time this is how man becomes the Craftsman of gods but do not think 1:11:15 that the activities of these Earthly gods are capricious for if the celestial Gods who dwell in the highest Heavens 1:11:22 complete and oversee each part of the order assigned to them our Earthly gods in turn watch over 1:11:28 things one by one predict the future through Lots or divination and in anticipation of what is to come come to 1:11:35 the aid of men whom they assist by virtue of a loving relationship Destiny 1:11:41 necessity and Order therefore trism magistus if the celestial Gods govern 1:11:47 Universal matters and the terrestrial Gods watch over particular matters what part of cosmic governance belongs to 1:11:54 Destiny that which we call Destiny asclepius is the necessity that all 1:11:59 interconnected events must be fulfilled like links in a chain thus Destiny is 1:12:05 the executor of all things whether it is the Supreme God himself or a second God 1:12:10 produced by him or the very organization of all Celestial and terrestrial things 1:12:16 firmly established by Divine laws therefore Destiny and necessity are 1:12:22 inseparably linked together destiny engenders the beginnings of all things 1:12:27 and then necessity forces their fulfillment the result of this dual activity is order which is the chaining 1:12:34 together of all events and their arrangement in temporal succession nothing escapes this structure of order 1:12:41 an organization that is realized in all things for the cosmos itself moves according to order and achieves its 1:12:48 Global cohesion thanks to order therefore Destiny necessity and order 1:12:53 are the three greatest creat ations of the will of God who governs the cosmos through his law and according to his 1:13:00 divine plan for these three by Divine will all desire or lack thereof is 1:13:06 completely alien for they are not moved by anger nor are they influenced by acts 1:13:11 of thanks but they obey the necessity of the Eternal plan which is nothing other than inevitable immutable and inflexible 1:13:19 eternity firstly Destiny which like a seed sets the foundation for the generation of all future events secondly 1:13:27 necessity forces all things to their actualization and thirdly Order produces 1:13:33 the chaining together of everything arranged by Destiny and necessity this 1:13:38 is precisely eternity which has no beginning or end and whose passage is determined by an immutable law 1:13:44 describing an everlasting cyclical movement in which birth and death alternate ceaselessly through its 1:13:50 elements thus with temporal changes those same elements are born again in 1:13:55 which they had previously died this is the essence of the cyclical process the 1:14:01 reason for circularity where all things are linked so that the beginning of rotation cannot 1:14:06 be distinguished from its end if there is existence it seems to always precede 1:14:11 itself and follow nevertheless this does not prevent chance and Randomness from continuing within all material things in 1:14:19 conclusion and final prayer I have explained everything Point by point to the best of my human ability 1:14:25 as allowed and consented by Divinity Now All That Remains is to bless God with 1:14:31 our prayers and return to the care of the Body for we have sufficiently saturated our souls so to speak with 1:14:37 Divine matters they all departed from the sanctuary and began to direct their prayers to God with their gaze turned 1:14:45 towards the South for when one prays to God at dusk one must look towards the South just as if it were Dawn one must 1:14:52 look towards the east but as they began began to pray Tad wrote addressing him with a gentle voice give do you want us 1:14:59 to turn to your father who accompanies our plea goodbye with incense and perfumes but Tris magistus who had heard 1:15:07 him angrily interrupted be silent for it is almost sacrilege to burn incense and 1:15:12 everything else while praying to God for nothing should be lacking for those for whom everything is good everything is 1:15:18 good therefore let us adore God giving thanks because the best way to incense God is the action of mortal

Flashbacks to James’s past flicker in his mind—his father’s stern but loving face, the farm in Pennsylvania, and the bustling streets of New York. The weight of his family’s legacy sits heavily on his shoulders. James’s Father (Jean Pierre Blake Sr.): (voiceover) Remember, son, strength comes from within. No matter where you are, hold onto your roots. James grips his rifle tighter, his father’s words giving him strength. He glances at Sam, who gives him a reassuring nod. James: (muttering) Let’s get this done. Scene 2: The Ambush The squad moves cautiously, but suddenly, an explosion rips through the jungle, throwing them into chaos. Gunfire erupts from all directions. Alec: (shouting) It’s a trap! James and Sam dive for cover, returning fire. The situation is dire, and they’re heavily outnumbered. James looks around, spotting an overgrown structure partially hidden by the jungle. James: (shouting) Over there! Move! They sprint towards the structure, bullets whizzing past them. They crash through the entrance, finding themselves in an ancient, dimly lit temple. Sam: (breathing heavily) What is this place? James: (looking around) I don’t know, but it’s our best chance. Scene 3: The Temple’s Secrets Inside the temple, the air is cooler, and the sounds of battle fade away. The walls are covered in ancient symbols and carvings that glow faintly in the darkness. James: (fascinated) Look at these markings… This place is ancient. Ethereal spirits appear, their forms shimmering with a soft, otherworldly light. The spirits seem to guide them deeper into the temple. Sam: (nervous) James, do you see that? James: (awed) Yeah. I think they want us to follow. The spirits lead them to a central chamber, where an altar stands bathed in a mystical light. On the altar, a glowing portal pulsates with energy. Alec: (whispering) What is that? James: (in awe) I think it’s a portal. Scene 4: The Portal As they approach the altar, a divine light fills the chamber, and a vision of Kahina appears before them. Her presence is powerful and serene. Kahina: (ethereal voice) James, son of the ancient bloodline, you are destined for a greater purpose. James: (stunned) Who are you? Kahina: I am Kahina, guardian of the ancient realms. Step through the portal and embrace your destiny. Sam: (concerned) James, are you sure about this? James: (determined) Yes. I feel like I’ve been guided here for a reason. James steps forward, touching the portal. Light envelops him, and he is transported through time and space, leaving Vietnam behind. Chapter 2: A New World Scene 1: Arrival James emerges from the portal into a breathtakingly different world. The sky is a vibrant mix of colors, and the air is filled with the sounds of ancient life. He finds himself on a vast plain dotted with strange, luminous flora. James: (looking around) Where am I? A figure approaches from the horizon, a tall, majestic woman with an aura of power and grace. It is Kahina, accompanied by Lyrion, a strong and wise-looking man. Kahina: (smiling) Welcome, James. You have arrived in our time of need. James: (confused) What is this place? Lyrion: (kindly) This is the realm of Kahina, two million years in the past. We fight against the forces of Lucifer to protect the balance of the cosmos. Scene 2: Meeting the Ancients James is brought to a grand council chamber, where he meets other key ancient characters—warriors, wise elders, and mystical beings. Kahina: (addressing the council) This is James, the one foretold in our prophecies. He will help us turn the tide against Lucifer. The council members nod in approval, though some look skeptical. James feels the weight of their expectations but also a growing sense of purpose. James: (determined) I will do whatever it takes to help. Scene 3: Training for Battle James begins his training with the ancient warriors. He learns new combat techniques, harnesses his inner strength, and absorbs ancient wisdom. Mentor: (guiding James) You have the heart of a warrior, but you must also have the mind of one. Focus, and remember your roots. James practices tirelessly, forming bonds with his new comrades. His confidence grows as he becomes a vital part of their community. James: (reflective) I finally feel like I’m where I’m meant to be.

David: (wise and calm) The strength of our unity is what will carry us through this war. Scene 2: The Battle of the Sacred Forest The group engages in a fierce battle in the Sacred Forest. James showcases his growing powers and strategic mind. James: (leading the charge) Hold the line! We fight for the future of all realms! The battle is intense, with losses on both sides. James fights alongside Maria, a skilled warrior with a strong sense of justice. Maria: (fiercely) They will not take our land without a fight! Scene 3: The Betrayal A trusted ally betrays the group, causing chaos. James and his comrades are captured and face dire consequences. James: (angry) Why would you do this? Traitor: (smirking) You cannot win. Lucifer’s power is too great. The betrayal shakes James’s trust, but he remains determined to escape and continue the fight. Chapter 4: Escape and Revelation Scene 1: The Daring Escape James leads a daring escape, overcoming numerous obstacles and dangers. Maria proves to be an invaluable ally. Maria: (panting) We’re almost there. Keep moving! The escape is successful but not without scars. James finds an ancient artifact that reveals more about his lineage. James: (examining the artifact) This… this explains everything. Scene 2: Revelation of Heritage Back at the safe haven, Kahina and Lyrion help James understand the true extent of his powers and his destiny. Kahina: (gently) You are more than just a soldier, James. You are a guardian of the realms, a protector of balance. Lyrion: (solemnly) Embrace your heritage. It is your greatest strength. Scene 3: Preparation for the Final Battle James, now fully aware of his purpose, prepares for the final confrontation with Lucifer. The council strategizes for the upcoming battle.
