The great Egyptian initiate Hermes has said: “Things mortal change their aspect daily; they are nothing but a lie.”
	Here is a saying from Hermes: “The eyes of our mentality are incapable as yet of contemplating the incorruptible and incomprehensible Beauty.... Thou shalt see it when thou hast nothing to say concerning it; for knowledge, for contemplation are silence, are the sinking to rest of all sensation.”
	Hermes has said: “Raise thyself above every height, descend below every depth, assemble in thyself all the sensations of created things, of water, of fire, of the dry, of the moist; suppose that than art at once everywhere, on earth, in the sea, in the heavens, that than wast never born, that than art still in the womb, that that art young, old, dead, beyond death; comprehend all at once, times, spaces, things, qualities, and thou shalt comprehend God.”
