ON WALKING
"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.
The border between the Real and the Unreal is not fixed, but just marks the last place where rival gangs of shamans fought each other to a standstill.

PARACELSUS ON TRUE MAGIC
“The exercise of true magic does not require any ceremonies or conjurations, or the making of circles or signs; it requires neither benedictions nor maledictions in words, neither verbal blessings nor curses;
It is said that a wise man rules over the stars, but this does not mean that he rules over the influences which come from the stars in the sky. It means that he rules over the powers which exist in his own constitution.

Paradise is still in this world yet humankind does not occupy it. For you see, this gold is locked inside Saturn.

öhme, 'De Signatura rerum,' ch. 8, 154
The eternity of all things is without time, without beginning, and without an end. No hopes are lost. Whatever seems to be incredible, improbable, and impossible, may become wonderfully true in eternity.

#Paracelsus
Become a fertile ground for the divine birth. Cherish this deep silence within, nourish it frequently. May God help us to prepare a dwelling place for this noble birth, so that we may all attain spiritual motherhood.

“The unconscious always tries to produce an impossible situation in order to force the individual to bring out his very best. Otherwise one stops short of one's best, one is not complete, one does not realize oneself.

You must, when contemplating Nature,
Attend to this, in each and every feature:
There's nought outside and nought within,
For she is inside out and outside in.
Thus will you grasp, with no delay,
The holy secret, clear as day.

, ‘Epirrhema’
The terrible secret which has been forgotten is that humanity, itself, is an archetype— and forget the danger of identifying with being a human being.

, ‘Catafalque’
it only requires a strong faith in the omnipotent power of all good, that can accomplish everything if it acts through a human mind who is in harmony with it.
All the wonders of magic are performed by Will, Imagination, and Faith."

with my sight in my feet; I am the mighty one who possesses the immortal fire; I am the truth who hates the fact that unjust deeds are done in the world; I am the one who makes the lightning flash and the thunder roll;
My latest published poem:
THERE ARE DAYS YOU CROSS HUNTED
There are days you cross hunted
in rivers, shaded and breezed.
Foot after sucked foot,
this little can be a lot
if it’s yours
in the solid dark.

This world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence. A single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related.
