roprosopus bathed. As it is written, Cant. v. 12, "Washed with milk," flowing down from the fullness of that primal white brilliance. And with the remaining white brilliances are the other lights cleansed and purified. The Brain is called the Fountain of Benevolence, the fountain wherein all blessings are found. And since this Brain radiateth into the three white brilliances of the eye (of Microprosopus), hence is that called the "good eye," concerning which it is said, Prov. xxii. 9, "It shall be blessed," or rather that from it dependeth blessing. For through the Brain are manifested the white brilliances of the eye. And when this eye looketh upon Microprosopus, all the worlds are (in a state of) happiness. This is the right eye. The inferior eyes are right and left, two in duplicate color. In the "Book of Concealed Mystery" have we taught that there is a Superior Yod, an Inferior Yod; a Superior He, an Inferior He; a Superior Vau, an Inferior Vau. Unto the Ancient One pertain all the Superiors, and unto Microprosopus the Inferiors. They depend not in another manner, but only thus; for from the Most Holy Ancient One do they depend. For the Name of the Ancient One is concealed in all things, neither is it found. But those letters which depend from the Ancient One, so that they may be established, are all inferiors. For were it not so, they could not be established. And therefore is the Holy Name(810) _alike_ concealed and manifest. For that which is concealed pertaineth unto the Most Holy Ancient One, the Concealed in all things. But that, indeed, which is manifested, because it dependeth, belongeth unto Microprosopus. (Otherwise, that which is manifested, is so for this reason--that it is manifested because it dependeth, etc.) And therefore do all the blessings require both concealment and manifestation. Those concealed letters which hang behind depend from the Most Holy Ancient One. Wherefore do they hang behind? For the purpose of establishing the Inferior Yod. (Otherwise, assuredly from the Skull, from the Forehead, from the Eyes, do they depend. And the Yod Maternal(811) dependeth toward the Inferior Yod.) Chapter V: Concerning the Nose of the Most Holy Ancient One The Nose. From this nose, from the openings of the nostrils, the Spirit of Life rusheth forth upon Microprosopus. And from that opening of the nose, from those openings of the nostrils, dependet
