And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of Heaven will be shaken. - Luke 21:25-26

When ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified. - Luke 21:9

Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. - Isaiah 26:20

When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:13-14

The LORD’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation on them and afflicted them with tumors. - 1 Samuel 5:6

Wisdom from Robert Fludd (aka Robertus de Fluctibus) (1574 - 1637):

Particulars are frequently fallible, but universals never. Occult philosophy lays bare Nature in her complete nakedness, and alone contemplates the wisdom of universals by the eyes of intelligence. Accustomed to partake of the rivers which flow from the Fountain of Life, it is unacquainted with grossness and with clouded waters.

Which of us has, at this day, the ability to discover those true and vivific numbers whereby the elements are united and bound to one another?

But, good God, what is this when compared with that deep and true music of the wise, whereby the proportions of natural things are investigated, the harmonical concord and the qualities of the whole world are revealed, by which also connected things are bound together, peace established between conflicting elements, and whereby each star is perpetually suspended in its appointed place by its weight and strength, and by the harmony of its lucent spirit.

In Elementary Music The Relation Of Earth To The Sphere of Water is 4 to 3, As There Are In The Earth Four Quarters of Frigidity to Three of Water.

Geomancy was a natural art, drawing on the inborn powers of the human soul to glean information from the larger soul of the world.

Marvelous is the love and fellowship of the flesh and the soul, of the spirit of life and the mud of the earth: for the whole man may be said to be formed from these two conjoined. For thus it is written: “God made man from the mud of the earth, and breathed the breath of life into his face ”[Genesis 2:7], giving him sense and intellect, so that through sense he might vivify the clay associated with him, and through intellect rule it; that likewise he might enter inwardly through the intellect and contemplate the wisdom of God, and outwardly through the sense behold the works of his wisdom. God illuminated the intellect from within but adorned the sense without, so that the whole man might find recreation in both, namely felicity within and enjoyment without. But since outward things cannot last long, man is bidden to turn from the things without to the things within and to ascend from the things within to the things above, that is to say from sense to imagination, from imagination to reason, from reason to intellect, thence to mind or intelligence and thus to God.

I was whilest I did sojourne in Rome, acquainted with a very learned and skillful personage, called Master Gruther. Hee was by birth of Swisserland, and for his excellency in the Mathematick, and in the Art of Motions and inventions of Machines, he was much esteemed by the Cardinall of Saint George. This gentleman taught mee the best of my skill in those practices: and amongst the rest, he delivered this magneticall experiment unto me, as a great secret, assuring me that it was tried in his Country, upon many with good successe…

Wisdom from Claude Bernard:

It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning.

The experimenter who does not know what he is looking for will not understand what he finds.

When we meet a fact which contradicts a prevailing theory, we must accept the fact and abandon the theory, even when the theory is supported by great names and generally accepted.

Man can learn nothing unless he proceeds from the known to the unknown.

All the vital mechanisms, varied as they are, have only one object, that of preserving constant the conditions of life in the internal environment.

We achieve more than we know. We know more than we understand. We understand more than we can explain.

Those who do not know the torment of the unknown cannot have the joy of discovery.

Men who have excessive faith in their theories or ideas are not only ill prepared for making discoveries; they also make very poor observations. Of necessity, they observe with a preconceived idea, and when they devise an experiment, they can see, in its results,only a confirmation of their theory. In this way they distort observation and often neglect very important facts because they do not further their aim.

We must keep our freedom of mind, … and must believe that in nature what is absurd, according to our theories, is not always impossible.

The science of life is a superb and dazzlingly lighted hall which may be reached only by passing through a long and ghastly kitchen.

Mediocre men often have the most acquired knowledge.
