Astrology Is Not An Art,

He Who Does Not Understand That A Dead Lion Is More Alive Than A Living Dog Will Remain A Dog.

The Corporeal Element In Man Is A Large Screen And Partition That Prevents Him From Perfectly Perceiving Abstract Ideals; This Would Be The Case Even If The Corporeal Element Were As Pure And Superior As The Substance Of The Spheres ; How Much More Must This Be The Case With Our Dark And Opaque Body. However Great The Exertion Of Our Mind May Be To Comprehend The Divine Being Or Any Of The Ideals, We Find A Screen And Partition Between God And Us.

Those Who Grieve Find Comfort In Weeping And In Arousing Their Sorrow Until The Body Is Too Tired To Bear The Inner Emotions.

Even The Existence Of This Corporeal Element, Low As It In Reality Is, Because It Is The Source Of Death And All Evils, Is Likewise Good For The Permanence Of The Universe And The Continuation Of The Order Of Things, So That One Thing Departs And The Other Succeeds.

We Suffer From The Evils Which We, By Our Own Free Will, Inflict On Ourselves And Ascribe Them To God, Who Is Far From Being Connected With Them!
