"I am the origin, the dissolution the place, the deposit, the seed, the unalterable. I am the cradle and the grave of the whole world.It is the science of sciences, the secret of the kings, the supreme lustration". (Bagavatgita)
"The wise man said: He who has cleansed his soul, who has arisen, a second time, who has kept the body that he shall have cleansed of all darkness and relinquishing its foul odour, this soul will be able to enter the body and when these two parts have been united, many miracles will appear. Because of this, when the philosophers reunited before Mary, someone said: Mary, you are blessed, because the divine hidden secret and that is honoured throughout the centuries, has been revealed to you". ( Dialogue between Khalid and Morienus)
"Imagine that this separation, division and sublimation are undoubtedly the key to the entire work. After the putrefaction and the dissolution of this body have been done, our white coloured bodies rise over the water that dissolves. And this whiteness if life ". (The Book of Artephius)
