These are true words, free from confusion.
You who are without are like you who are within, and you who are imagined are like you who are
real, and so are made the miracles of existence.
And as all beings were made from the contemplation of Ekstasis, so all beings were born from
one unfolding.
Your father is Glamour, your mother is Banality.
The Dreaming has borne you, and the world has nourished you.
You are the origin of all wonders in the world.
Your power is unified, if expressed in a body,
You will separate thought from flesh, the chimerical from the real.
With great potential you ascend from the fixed to the possible. Again you descend to the
fixed, and bring with you the power of both worlds.
Thus will you embody all the glories of the world. All confusion will flee from you.
This is the greatest power of all, for it encloses all ephemeral things, it infuses all solid
things.
Thus may a new world be created.
Therefore am I the Alchemist, known by many names in the wisdom of the world.
