Extracted from His Rare and Extensive Works and from some Unpublished Manuscripts; Of those who have taught the secret doctrine’s scientific aspect, there have been none more profound than Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, and Paracelsus.
Paracelsus threw pearls before the swine, and was scoffed at by the ignorant, his reputation was torn by the dogs of envy and hate, and he was treacherously killed by his enemies. But although his physical body returned to the elements out of which it was formed, his genius still lives, and as the eyes of the world become better opened to an understanding of spiritual truths, he appears like a sun on the mental horizon, whose light is destined to illuminate the world of mind and to penetrate deep into the hearts of the coming generation, to warm the soil out of which the science of the coming century will grow.
