第二十二章

    当我走进洞穴，我看到了一块翠玉，上面写着字，那是从赫尔墨斯的双手间被书写出来。从那里我发现了以下这些文字：WhenIenteredintothecave，Ireceivedthetabletzaradi，whichwasinscribed，frombetweenthebandsofHermes，inwhichIdiscoveredtheseword:

    真实不虚：Tistruewithoutlying，certain&mosttrue:

    如其在上，如其在下；依此成全太一的奇迹。Thatwchisbelowislikethatwchisabove&thatwchisaboveislikeytwchisbelowtodoyemiraclesofoneonlything

    万物本是太一，藉由分化从太一创造出来。Andasallthingshavebeen&arosefromonebyyemediationofone:soallthingshavethehingbyadaptation

    太阳为父，太阴为母，从风孕育，从地养护。TheSunisitsfather，themoonitsmother，thewindhathcarrieditinitsbelly，theearthitsnourse.世间一切完美之源就在此处；其能力在地上最为完全。Thefatherofallperfectioninyewholeworldishere.Itsforceorpowerisentireifitbeconvertedintoearth

    分土于火，萃精于糙，谨慎行之。

    接上

    Separatethouyeearthfromyefire，yesubtilefromthegrosssweetlywthgreatindoustry.从地升天，又从天而降，获得其上、其下之能力。如此可得世界的荣耀、远离黑暗蒙昧。Itascendsfromyeearthtoyeheaven&againitdesendstoyeearthandreceivesyeforceofthingssuperior&inferior.Bythismeansyoushallhaveyegloryofyewholeworld&therebyallobscurityshallflyfromyou

    此为万力之力，摧坚拔韧。Itsforceisaboveallforce，foritvanquisheseverysubtilething&penetrateseverysolidthing

    世界即如此创造，依此可达奇迹。Sowasyeworldcreated.Fromthisare&docomeadmirableadaptationswhereofyeprocessishereinthis

    我被称为三重伟大的赫尔墨斯，因我拥有世界三部分的智慧。HenceIamcalledHermesTrismegist，havingthethreepartsofyephilosophyofyewholeworld

    这就是我所说的伟大工作。ThatwchIhavesaidofyeopeomplished&ended
