Dear readers and friends,
Today I present to you the rules of the greatest alchemist of all time Paracelsus. They may seem trivial but remember the historical context and if even today they are not valid. In my opinion they are still valid enough to have included them in my Magical Alkemic Path as basic rules to follow.

1 . Improve your health.
Breathe deeply and rhythmically as often as possible, filling your lungs well, outdoors or in front of an open window. Drink about two liters of water a day, in small sips, eat plenty of fruit, chew food slowly, avoid alcohol, tobacco and medicines, unless there are serious reasons for which you are undergoing medical treatment. Bathing daily, a habit that is good for one's dignity.
2 . Banish all negative thoughts of anger, resentment, hatred, boredom, sadness, poverty and revenge from the mind.
Avoid like the plague having to deal with swearing, vicious, cowardly, lazy, gossipy, vulgar or vain people or people who have sensual topics as the only basis for their talk or occupation. Observing this rule is very important: it's about changing the spiritual texture of your soul. It's the only way to change your destiny, because chance doesn't exist, it depends on our actions and thoughts.
3 . Do all the good you can.
Help every unfortunate whenever you can, but never have a soft spot for these people. You have to keep your emotions in check and escape from all forms of sentimentality.
4 . Forget about any offense.
Strive to think well of your greatest enemy. Your soul is a temple that should never be desecrated by hatred. All great men have let themselves be guided by that Inner Voice, but this one will not speak to you immediately, you must prepare yourself for a certain period of time, destroying the old habits, the thoughts and the errors that weigh on your spirit, which in its essence is perfect and divine, but it is powerless in the face of the imperfection of the vehicle which is offered to it today to manifest itself, the weak flesh.
5 . Gather each day in meditation.
Go every day to a place where no one can disturb you, even if only for half an hour, sitting as comfortably as possible, with your eyes half closed and thinking about nothing. This strengthens the brain and Spirit and will put you in touch with beneficial influences. It is in this state of meditation that the brightest ideas often arrive, which can sometimes change an entire existence. In time all problems will be solved by an Inner Voice that will guide you in these moments of silence, while you are alone with your conscience.
6 . Maintain absolute silence on personal matters.
Do not report to others, not even to the most intimate people, everything you think, hear, learn, know, suspect or discover; it should be like a walled house or an enclosed garden. It's a very important rule.
7 . Do not fear men and do not be afraid of tomorrow.
If you keep your heart strong and pure, everything will be fine. Never think that you are alone or weak, because behind you are mighty armies that you could not conceive even in dreams. If you lift up your spirit, no evil can touch you. The only enemy you have to fear is yourself. Fear and distrust of the future are the mothers of all failures and attract bad influences and with them disaster. If you study lucky people carefully, you will see that they observe most of the above rules. Wealthy people are not really good people at all, as they are not righteous, but they possess many of the virtues mentioned above. After all, wealth can be one of the factors that leads to happiness, since it gives us the power to do great and noble works, but that's not really a blessing. The latter is reached only through different paths, where Selfishness does not dominate.
Conclusion.
Don't complain, dominate your senses, repudiate humility and vanity. Humility saps your strength, vanity is as harmful as a "mortal sin against the Holy Spirit."
