"There is above the Celestial Lights an Incorruptible Flame always sparkling; the Spring of Life, the Formation of all Beings, the Original of all things! This Flame produceth all things, and nothing perisheth but what it consumeth. It maketh Itself known by Itself. This Fire cannot be contained in any Place, it is without Body and without Matter. It encompasseth the Heavens. And there goeth out from it little Sparks, which make all the Fires of the Sun, of the Moon, and of the Stars."
— The Chaldæan Oracles
"Explore the River of the Soul, whence, or in what order you have come: so that although you have become a servant to the body, you may again rise to the Order from which you descended, joining works to sacred reason. Psell., 5. Pletho. 1. Z." "Every way unto the emancipated Soul extend the rays of Fire. Psell., 11. Pletho, 24. Z." "Let the immortal depth of your Soul lead you, but earnestly raise your eyes upwards. Psell., 11. Pletho, 20." — The Chaldæan Oracles
