Mystica Aeternis

The reflection of wisdom is feeling
The reflection of love is will,
and the reflection of the ego is thought.

The reflection of sanguine is air.
The reflection of phlegmatic is water. The reflection of melancholic is earth. The reflection of choleric is fire.

In pre-Christian times, thinking was cultivated in humanity by Pythagoras and other sages and philosophers.

Feeling was cultivated in the Christian era by the mystics.

The Will is said to be developed in the Rosicrucian era – Theosophy.

The sacred sign is interpreted to us.

The Imagination would be presented as follows: a blue sea, the rays of light in gold, and the upper part of the clouds illuminated.

We call the fifth degree the high degree of the Rosicrucian cross, the fourth degree that of the order [Royal Arch] (shibboleth?).

The following is given to us as meditation. An effective image: Imagine a mountain and rocks of different stones in the sea, air above, earth and plants of all kinds, a fire in one place, a skull – a black raven whose eyes are fixed on the rose cross.
