“The rose is without why; it blooms because it blooms,
It pays no attention to itself, asks not whether it is seen.”
(Angelus Silesius, Cherubinischer Wandersmann)

"Every man naturally desires superiority - to have treasures of gold and silver - to appear great in the eyes of the world. God truly created all things for the use of man, that he might reign over them and recognize in them the singular goodness and omnipotence of God, that he might thank Him for His blessings, and honor Him. and praise Him. But there is no one who seeks His things, and the days are allowed to pass by idly.
People would like to enjoy these things, but without prior work and without danger. Neither do they seek them in that place where God has stored them up, who also expects them to be sought there, and to those who seek, He will give them. But there is not one who works for a possession in this place, and therefore these riches are not found. For the path to this place - and the place itself - has long been unknown, and it is hidden from most of the world. But although it is difficult and laborious to find this way and this place, yet one should seek this place."
"There is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known." ( Matthew X, 26)"
"There is a Mountain located in the middle of the earth or in the center of the world, which is both small and large. It is soft, and also hard and stony beyond measure. It is distant and within reach, but by the providence of God, invisible. In it are hidden very ample treasures that the world is not capable of evaluating.
This mountain, due to the envy of the devil who always opposes the glory of God and the happiness of man, is surrounded by very cruel beasts and other birds of prey, which make access difficult and dangerous. This is why until now - because the time had not yet come - the path leading there could neither be sought nor found. Now finally, the path can be found by those who are worthy, but by the personal work and efforts of each person.
To this Mountain you will go in a certain night, when it comes, very long and very dark; be sure to prepare yourself through prayer. Insist on finding the path that leads to the Mountain, but ask no one where the path is. Follow only your Guide, who will offer himself to you and meet you along the way. But you won't recognize it. This Guide will take you to the Mountain at midnight, when all things are silent and dark. It is necessary that you arm yourself with resolute and heroic courage, lest you be frightened by these things which will happen, and so fall back. You do not need a sword or any other physical weapon: just invoke God sincerely and cordially.
When you have discovered the Mountain, the first miracle that will appear is this: a very vehement and very great wind which will shake the Mountain and shatter the rocks. Lions, dragons and other terrible beasts will also come to meet you, but do not fear any of these things. Be resolute and take care not to turn around, because your Guide who has brought you this far will not allow any harm to come to you. As for the treasure, it has not yet been discovered, but it is very close. After this wind will come an earthquake which will overthrow all the things that the wind has left, and it will flatten them all. Make sure you don't fall. Once the earthquake has passed, a Fire will ensue which will consume the dirt of the earth and discover the treasure.
You can't see it yet. After all these things and towards dawn, there will be a great calm, you will see the Day Star rising, the dawn will appear, and you will see a great treasure. The most important and perfect thing it contains is a certain exalted tincture, with which the world - provided it is in the service of God and worthy of such gifts - can be tinted and transformed into very pure gold."
