Paracelsus distinguished the Lux Naturae, light seen in the atmosphere, from another mysterious and all-present light, Lumen Naturae. Of the latter, he wrote:
The [ancient seers] knew nothing alien to humanity neither from the Devil nor from the spirits, but derived their knowledge from the Light of Nature. This they nurtured in themselves… It comes from nature which contains its manner of activity within itself. It is active during sleep and hence things must be used when dormant and not awake — sleep is waking for such arts — for things have a spirit which is active in them in sleep… For it is the Light of Nature which is at work during sleep and is the invisible body and was nevertheless born like the visible and natural body. The Light of Nature is the mentor of humanity and dwells innately in this way.
Though men die, the mentor goes on teaching.
