That Which We Have Lived Is Nothing;

There Is No Absolute Up Or Down, As Aristotle Taught; No Absolute Position In Space; But The Position Of A Body Is Relative To That Of Other Bodies. Everywhere There Is Incessant Relative Change In Position Throughout The Universe, And The Observer Is Always At The Center Of Things.

In Space There Are Countless Constellations, Suns And Planets; We See Only The Suns Because They Give Light; The Planets Remain Invisible, For They Are Small And Dark. There Are Also Numberless Earths Circling Around Their Suns.

Why, I Say, Do So Few Understand And Apprehend The Internal Power?... He Who In Himself Sees All Things, Is All Things.

Make Then Your Forecasts, My Lords Astrologers, With Your Slavish Physicians, By Means Of Those Astrolabes With Which You Seek To Discern The Fantastic Nine Moving Spheres; In These You Finally Imprison Your Own Minds, So That You Appear To Me But As Parrots In A Cage, While I Watch You Dancing Up And Down, Turning And Hopping Within Those Circles.

If The First Button Of One's Coat Is Wrongly Buttoned, All The Rest Will Be Crooked.
