Divine meditation

Meaning

Meditation divine in Book III connects the ordered construction of the world with purposeful divine thought. Sonnet III likewise says that the meditation of one made all from one, in the compressed idiom of its Emerald-Table adaptation. The supplied text reads meditation: substituting the more familiar “mediation” would change the chosen wording and conceal a substantive thread of the work. At the same time, the verse’s compressed agent syntax should not be expanded into an independently demonstrated causal theory. The term records the author’s intellectual and theological construction, not a modern verified etymology of the Hermetic formula.
