The below is as the above, and the above as the below, to perfect the wonders of the One.
And as all things came from the One, from the meditation of the One, so all things are born from this One by adaptation.
Its father is the Sun, its mother the Moon; the Wind carries it in its belly; its nurse is the Earth.
It is the father of all the wonders of the whole world. Its power is perfect when it is transformed into Earth.
Separate the Earth from the Fire and the subtle from the gross, cautiously and judiciously.
It ascends from Earth to Heaven and then returns back to the Earth, so that it receives the power of the upper and the lower.
Thus you will possess the brightness of the whole world, and darkness will flee you.
This is the force of all forces, for it overcomes all that is subtle and penetrates solid things.
Thus was the world created.
From this wonderful adaptations are effected, and the means are given here.
And Hermes Trismegistus is my name, because I possess the three parts of the wisdom of the whole world.
