From Madame Blavatsky
2) What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is similar to
that which is below to accomplish the wonders of the one thing.
3) As all things were produced by the mediation of one being, so all things were
produced from this one by adaption.
4) Its father is the sun, its mother the moon.
6a) It is the cause of all perfection throughout the whole earth.
7) Its power is perfect if it is changed into earth.
7a) Separate the earth from the fire, the subtile from the gross, acting
prudently and with judgement.
8 ) Ascend with the greatest sagacity from earth to heaven, and unite together
the power of things inferior and superior;
9) thus you will possess the light of the whole world, and all obscurity will
fly away from you.
10) This thing has more fortitude than fortitude itself, because it will
overcome every subtile thing and penetrate every solid thing.
11a) By it the world was formed.
[Blavatsky 1972: 507.]
Translation of Issac Newton c. 1680.
1) Tis true without lying, certain & most true.
2) That wch is below is like that wch is above & that wch is above is like yt
wch is below to do ye miracles of one only thing.
3) And as all things have been & arose from one by ye mediation of one: so all
things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
4) The Sun is its father, the moon its mother,
5) the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth its nourse.
6) The father of all perfection in ye whole world is here.
7) Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
7a) Seperate thou ye earth from ye fire, ye subtile from the gross sweetly wth
great indoustry.
8) It ascends from ye earth to ye heaven & again it desends to ye earth and
receives ye force of things superior & inferior.
9) By this means you shall have ye glory of ye whole world & thereby all
obscurity shall fly from you.
10) Its force is above all force. ffor it vanquishes every subtile thing &
penetrates every solid thing.
11a) So was ye world created.
12) From this are & do come admirable adaptaions whereof ye means (Or process)
is here in this.
13) Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of ye philosophy
of ye whole world.
14) That wch I have said of ye operation of ye Sun is accomplished & ended.
[Dobbs 1988: 183-4.]
