when they were conjoined together, even the Great
Father and Great Mother.

From _Hoa_, Himself, is AB, the Father; and from _Hoa_, Himself, is Ruach,
the Spirit; Who are hidden in the Ancient of Days, and therein is that
ether concealed.

And It was connected with a light-bearer, which went forth from that
Light-Bearer of insupportable brightness, which is hidden in the Bosom of
Aima, the Great Mother.

Chapter XI: Concerning the Brain of Microprosopus and Its Connections

And when both can be conjoined and bound together mutually (_i.e._, the
Father and the Mother), there proceedeth thenceforth a certain hard Skull.

And it is extended on its sides, so that there may be one part on one
side, and another one on another side.

For as the Most Holy Ancient One is found to include equally in Himself
the Three Heads,(847) so all things are symbolized under the form of the
Three Heads, as we have stated.

Into this skull (of Microprosopus) distilleth the dew from the White Head
(of Macroprosopus), and covereth it.

And that dew appeareth to be of two colors, and by it is nourished the
field of the holy apple trees.

And from this dew of this Skull is the manna prepared for the just in the
world to come.(848)

And by it shall the dead be raised to life.

But that manna hath not at any other time been prepared so that it might
descend from this dew, save at that time when the Israelites were
wandering in the wilderness, and the Ancient One supplied them with food
from this place; because that afterward it did not fall out so more fully.

This is the same which is said, Exod. xvi. 4, "Behold I rain upon you
bread from heaven." And also that passage where it is thus written, Gen.
xxvii. 28, "And the Elohim shall give unto thee of the dew of heaven."

These things occur in that time. Concerning another time it is written,
"The food of man is from God the Most Holy One--blessed be He!"--and that
dependeth from MZLA, _Mezla_, the Influence; assuredly from the Influence
rightly so called.

And therefore is it customary to say, "Concerning children, life, and
nourishment, the matter dependeth not from merit, but from the Influence."
For all these things depend from this Influence, as we have already shown.

Nine thousand myriads of worlds receive influence from and are upheld by
that GVLGLTHA, _Golgeltha_, Skull.

And in all things is that subtle AVIRA, _Auira_, Ether,(849) contained, as
It Itself contain
