lightened. And the second brain dependeth from that very glorious Influence, it is expanded into the thirty-two(814) paths, when it is illuminated, then it shineth from that very glorious Influence.(815) Therefore are the Three Supernal Heads illuminated; Two Heads, and One which comprehendeth them; and they hang in that Influence, and by It are they comprehended. Hence becometh the ornament of the beard to be manifested, which is the occult Influence. And those inferiors are conformed, like as the Most Holy Ancient One. The Three Heads surround Him; thus all things can appear in the Three Heads; and when they are illuminated all things depend together from Him in the Three Heads, whereof two are on the two sides, and one which includeth them. And if thou sayest, "Who is the Most Holy Ancient One?" come and see. The Supreme Head is that which is not known, nor comprehended, nor designated, and that (Head) comprehendeth all things. And the Two Heads are contained in Itself. (Otherwise hang, etc.) And then are all these things thus ordained; truly Himself existeth not in numeration, nor in system, nor in computation, but in the judgment of the heart. Concerning this it is written, Ps. xxxix. 2, "I said I will take heed unto my ways, that I offend not with my tongue." The place of commencement is found from the Most Holy Ancient One, and it is illuminated by the Influence. That is the Light of Wisdom. And it is extended in thirty-two directions, and departeth from that hidden brain, from that Light which existeth in Itself. And because the Most Holy Ancient One shineth in the beginning (otherwise, in the wisdom), this itself is this. And the same is that beginning from which manifestation is made. And is conformed in the Three Heads, which One Head includeth. And those three are extended into Microprosopus, and from them all things shine forth. Thenceforth this Wisdom instituteth a formation, and produceth a certain river which floweth down and goeth forth to water the garden. And it entereth into the head of Microprosopus, and formeth a certain other brain. And thence it is extended and floweth forth into the whole body, and watereth all those plants (of the garden of Eden). This is that which standeth written, Gen. ii. 9: "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden," etc. But also this Wisdom instituteth another formation, and is extended and goeth into the head of Micropr
