"The Universal Mind, before referred to as the true and only source of Life, is pure and perfect, enduring and beautiful, the principle of principles, the Truth of truths, the Law of laws, the Life of lives, and he who has awakened to the Consciousness of being in harmony with this principle, one with this Mind, merged in this Eternal Source possesses the Philosopher's Stone—the true Elixir of Life. Such a one is in the highest sense of the term an Alchemist, knowing how to transmute the baser metals of the 'animal nature' into pure nature of Spirit."

"There are three marvels of God: Man, Nature, and Matter.
Three and One. God is Man. Body, Spirit, Soul. There are three marvels. The Secret of the Philosophers.
By rectifying (purifying), you will find the hidden stone. By separating the inner parts. Watch the Chaos. The Philosophers' Mercury. The hidden foundation of the elements. You will find the elements.
Let there be a firmament... philosophical sublimation. And let the birds appear... it ascends from the sky to the earth... The kingdom of the earth (has) green herbs... so has this circle of the whole world.
The kingdom of the earth (has) green herbs... so has this circle of the whole world.
Known to its kind.
And enclosed in dark shadows...
From darkness, light..."
