The Operation of the Sun

As below, so above;

And as above, so below

With this knowledge you may work

Miracles (I know)

And all things emanate,

From the one who is the cause (fate)

All things are born (after their kind)

From this one

The sun is the father, its mother is the moon

Earth – the guardian and its nurse

It's the father of all things

Eternal will is contained (within)

This is the truth, with out falsehood,

Certain and most true

I possess the three

Parts of the philosophy

Of the whole world

The operation of the sun

This is what I know

The consummated sum

Of the work –

The operation of the sun

(Thou shalt) separate the earth from fire

The subtle from the dense (bla bla)

Gently with, unremitting care (and wisdom)

It ascends from earth to heaven

And again descends to earth

And receives the strength of the

Superior (and the) inferior

This is the truth, without falsehood,

Certain and most true

I possess the three

Parts of the philosophy

Of the whole world

The operation of the sun

This is what I know

The consummated sum

Of the work –

The operation of the sun

By means of this one thing

All the glory of the world

Shall be yours

And all obscurity (shall) flee from you

It is power of all power

It will dispel all ignorance

By this one, the world was created

This is the truth, without falsehood,

Certain and most true

I possess the three

Parts of the philosophy

Of the whole world

The operation of the sun

There's nothing more to say (nothing more to say about)

The consummated sum

Of the work –

The operation of the sun
