The Golden Chain of Homer: I.5 · Chaotic Water and the Universal Seed
1723 pp 16–175 How the Divided and Separated Chaotic Water Is Regenerated Into the Common Universal Seed, Usually Called the Soul or Spirit of the World
Chapter outline
The four elements must remain differentiated while continually regenerating their common origin.
The beginner must understand this foundation before attempting procedures.
All material things remain water and spirit, whether liquid or dry, dissolved or coagulated.
Subtlety produces movement and heat; celestial vapour descends into air.
The elements transmit motion and combine their outflows to produce the world spirit.
