needed to be done that I failed to accomplish? Resolve in the coming new day to avoid evil and to persevere in
doing good.
Meditate on all these words of advice that I have given you; take them to your heart with love and follow them; they
will lead your life to the highest virtues.
I swear this to be true by the Monad who engraved in the hearts of philosophers the sacred Tetrad, a symbol great
and perfect, the source of earthly nature and the pattern of heavenly nature.
Before you attempt any labor, invoke the divine principles of the numbers from one to ten, who alone are able to
bring to fulfilment the work you begin. Understanding their example, it will not be possible for you to be deceived.
You will then perceive the essential natures of beings both high and low, and know the beginning and end of the
universe.
If it is the will of the Highest, you will understand that the entire universe is composed of a single soul that is
everywhere the same.
Once you have comprehended these sublime truths, and accepted them as your birthright, you will cease to waste
your energies desiring things that are false and unimportant.
You will come to know that the evils plaguing men and women are the result of their own choices in life.
You will also see that these unfortunate men and women seek near and far to obtain a love that is already within
them.
Few individuals are happy in life. They are toys to their own passions, tossed this way and that without even a
glimpse of inner peace. They can neither accept their enslavement to their desires and impulses, nor resist those
desires.
God! You could save these unfortunates by revealing to them their own nature. But no, it is only the sacred race of
philosophers who possess the capacity to distinguish truth from error.
All the universe serves enlightened souls who have attained Truth, and these wise and happy persons enjoy the
serenity of its refuge.
Obey these laws, use good judgment to know the things your soul must fear, and avoid them, letting reason rule over
your physical passions.
In this way you will ascend into the radiant aether and dwell among immortal beings, yourself a god.
