present, that through all my days I have not omitted these three feasts, and that because of them I have not been compelled to fast on the Sabbath. "Furthermore, also on other days I have not been compelled (to fast), much less on the Sabbath, for he who rightly acteth concerning these (feasts) is the adept of perfect truth. "The first feast is that of the Great Mother; the second that of the Holy King; and the third that of the Most Holy Ancient One, the Concealed with all Concealments.(807) "And in this world, who can thoroughly follow out, through them, those paths? "If this RTZVN, _Ratzon_, Grace, be revealed, all those judgments are enlightened, and are diverted from their concentrated rigor. "The conformation of Him, the Most Holy Ancient One, is instituted through one form, which is the ideal Syntagma of all forms. "The same is the Concealed Supernal Wisdom, the synthesis of all the rest. "And this is called ODN, _Eden_, or the supernal Paradise, concealed with all occultations.

"And that Grace is extended backward into the beard, even unto that place where it can remain in the beard, and it is called the Supernal, CHSD, _Chesed_, Mercy. "And when this Grace is uncovered, all the Lords of Judgment behold It, and are turned aside." Chapter IV: Concerning the Eyes of the Most Holy Ancient One The eyes of the Head of the Most Holy Ancient One are two in one,(809) equal, which ever watch, and sleep not. Like as it is written, Ps. cxxi. 4, "The Keeper of Israel neither slumbereth nor sleepeth," etc.; namely, of Israel the holy. And therefore are there no eyebrows nor eyelashes unto His eyes. This Brain is conformed and illuminated with three supernal white brilliances. With this white brilliance are the eyes of Mic
