Mute material Nature
A mute material Nature wakes and sees;
She has invented speech, unveiled a will.

To exceed herself
Something there waits beyond towards which she strives,
Something surrounds her into which she grows:
To uncover the spirit, to change back into God,
To exceed herself is her transcendent task.

God concealed
In God concealed the world began to be,
Tardily it travels towards manifest God:
Our imperfection towards perfection toils,
The body is the chrysalis of a soul:
The infinite holds the finite in its arms,
Time travels towards revealed eternity.
The world starts as God concealed. Slowly it travels towards a progressive manifestation of God. Our imperfection strives and labours towards perfection.

An occult document of the All-Wonderful’s art.

The blue sea’s chant, the rivulet’s wandering voice
Are murmurs falling from the Eternal’s harp.
