Paracelsus & the twofold principle

"(And by) the very nature of Being, when anything is done to extreme excess, loves to change things into their opposites : [one sees this] in the seasons, in plants, in animal bodies, and not the least in politics." Plato, Republic, Book 7, 563e (XV)

"The Lord spoke to Moses.... He said to him: Tell your brother AAron ... he shall take two from the community of the Israelites two he-goats for a sin-offering ... and set them before the Lord at the entrance to the Tent [or Tabernacle] of the Presence. He shall cast lots over he two goats, one to be for the Lord and the other for Azazel [or the Precipice]...." Leviticus16: 1-10
