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 Microprosopus 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.)
