"There is then..."
"There is then, oh Tat, a Creator and a Lord of all this Universe. The place, the number, the measure, could not be kept without a creator.
The order cannot be made without a place or a measure, a Lord is needed then, oh my son.
The disorder has need of Him in order to reach and order, and it obeys that who has not ordered yet.
If you could have wings, fly in the air, and there between the sky and the earth, the fluidity of the sea, the course of the rivers, the lightness of the air, the subtlety of fire, the course of the heavenly bodies and the movement of the sky which wraps them, oh my son, in this magnificent spectacle you would see, in an instant, the inmutable move and the invisible appear in the order and the beauty of the world.
If you want to contemplate the Creator, even in the mortal things, which are on the earth or in the deep, reflect, oh my son, on the creation of man in his mother's womb; examine with attention the art of the Great Worker, learn to know it from the Divine Beuty of his Work.
Who has made round the sphere of the eyes?
Who has bored the opening of the nose and ears?
Who has opened the mouth?
Who has spread and linked the nerves?
Who has drawn the channels of the veins?
Who has hardened the bones?
Who has wrapped the flesh in skin?
Who has separated the fingers and members?
Who has widened the base of the feet?
Who has formed the pyramid of the heart?
Who has widened the hips?
Who has dilated the liver?
Who has formed the caves of the lungs, the cavity of the belly?
Who has put in evidence the honourable parts and has hidden the others..?
Look how much art there is in mere matter! What effort in a single piece of work! Everywhere beauty, everywhere proportion, everywhere variety.
Who has made all these things? Who is the mother, who is the father; but the unique and invisible God who has created everything for his Will.
Nobody imagines that a statue or a painting can exist without a sculptor or a painter. And shouldn't this creation have a Creator? Oh blindness, oh impiety, oh ignorance! Keep yourself, Tat, my son, from denying the Work of the Great Worker; give God the name which is more propitious, call him the Father of everything, because He is unique, and his own function is the one of being Father; and using a daring expression I would say that his essence is the one of engendering and creating. And as nothing can exist without a creator, the same way Himself would not exist if he did not create nonstop, in the air, in the earth, in the deep, in the universe, in every part of this, in what exists and in what does not exist.
Because there is nothing in the whole world that is not Him.
He is what is and what is not, because what he is has been manifested and what is not is contained in himself.."
(words of Hermes Trismegistus; Ernesto Baron - The Magical Lnds of the Celts)
