Extracted from His Rare and Extensive Works and from some Unpublished Manuscripts; "Of those who have taught the secret doctrine's scientific aspect, there have been none more profound than Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, and Paracelsus." "Paracelsus threw pearls before the swine, and was scoffed at by the ignorant, his reputation was torn by the dogs of envy and hate, and he was treacherously killed by his enemies. But although his physical body returned to the elements out of which it was formed, his genius still lives, and as the eyes of the world become better opened to an understanding of spiritual truths, he appears like a sun on the mental horizon, whose light is destined to illuminate the world of mind and to penetrate deep into the hearts of the coming generation, to warm the soil out of which the science of the coming century will grow." Contents: The Life of Paracelsus; Explanations of Terms Used by Paracelsus; Cosmology; Anthropology, The Generation of Man; Pneumatology; Magic and Sorcery; Medicine; Alchemy and Astrology; Philosophy and Theosophy.

This review is from: Life and the Doctrines of Philippus Theophrastus Bombast of Hohenheim Known as Paracelsus (Paperback)
The content in this book can't be found anywhere else. I even tried locating the original and it is difficult. Paracelsus reveals the power of faith, magic and many other things. What I liked is that he says how God gives man Faith only when he doesn't doubt, doesn't consider other things and holds only one object in view. A magical recipe for success! Napoleon Hill and others refer to the subconscious mind when they are actually referring to God, as far as Paracelsus puts it.
I hope one day all his other works will see the light of day in the English world. The classics have a depth that modern-day authors are lacking.
