THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY

Bq
De Veritate Falsi
(Of the Truth of Falsehood)
OREOVER this Matter touches the Nature of
Truth. For although to thee in thy True Self,
absolute and without Conditions, all this Universe,
which is relative and conditioned is an Illusion; yet to that
Part of Thee by which thou perceivest it, the Law of its Being
(or By-coming) is a Law of Truth.
Learn then that all
Relations are true upon their own Plane, and that it would be
a Violation of Nature to adjust them skewwise. Thus, albeit
thou hast found thy Self, and knowest Thy Self immortal and
immutable beyond Time and Space, free of Causality, so
thoroughly that even thy Mind partaketh constantly thereof,
thou hast in no wise altered the Relations of thy Body with
its Syndromics in the World whereof it is a Part. Wouldst
thou lengthen the Life of thy Body? Then accommodate thou
the Conditions of thy Body to its Environment by giving it
Light, Air, Food, and Exercise as its Nature requireth.
So
also, mutatis mutandis, do thou cherish the Health of thy
Mind.
