Went wayyy over my head, but otherwise a pretty boring book. Cannot be rated since its secrets are most likley not understood by the people who read it

It is a fine book. Interesting, but only the surface of Paracelsus's thinking.

[Jim George · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was written in the 1500s by a Swiss physician, he was a bit of a mystical Christian sage. Much of what he has to say is too tripped out to wrap your brain around, while some of his insight is profound. Not the easiest book to read, nothing so insightful that your life will be changed, but still it contains some spiritual seeds of enlightenment. I like his opinions on the physicians professional role and his God given responsibilities to his patients. I equally enjoyed his synopsis on death, our preordained time, and our spiritual purpose on earth.
