We human beings cannot through our natural consciousness and intelligence know anything of

God the Creator's hidden secrets, For it is not for us to know the times or the instants, etc.

So much so that persons of future times may be seen in present ones, because God Almighty has

wished to reveal them by means of images, together with various secrets of the future vouchsafed

to orthodox astrology, as was the case in the past, so that a measure of power and divination

passed through them, the flame of the spirit inspiring them to pronounce upon inspiration both

human and divine. God may bring into being divine works, which are absolute; there is another

level, that of angelic works; and a third way, that of the evildoers.

But my son, I address you here a little too obscurely. As regards the occult prophecies one is

vouchsafed through the subtle spirit of fire, which the understanding sometimes stirs through

contemplation of the distant stars as if in vigil, likewise by means of pronouncements, one finds

oneself surprised at producing writings without fear of being stricken for such impudent

loquacity. The reason is that all this proceeds from the divine power of Almighty God from

whom all bounty proceeds.
