Then, You Can Comprehend God...

Dear All,
I recently came across a writing from the Egyptian Philosopher 
Hermes. (Not to be confused with the Greek one). He was the 
biggest source of insperation to Ficino who was in the service 
of Cosimo Medici. The passage shows that he who wrote
it was very familiar with the workings and manifestations of a fully 
"Self Realized" Soul. 

~Mervyn


Think that for you too, nothing is impossible; 
deem that you too are immortal, and that you are able to grasp 
all things in your thought, to knowevery craft and every science; 
find your home in the haunts of every living creature; 
make yourself higher than all heights and lower than all depths;
bring together in yourself all opposites of quality, heat and cold,
dryness and fluidity; think that you are everywhere at once, 
on land and sea, in heaven. 
Think that you are not begotten, that you are in the womb, that
you are young, that you are old, that you have died, that you are in the
world beyond the grave, grasp in your thought all this at once, all times
and in all places, all substances and qualities and magnitudes, together;
THEN
You can apprehend GOD

~Hermes
