These are the Three Mother Letters Aleph, Mem and Shin.
From them emanated Three Fathers, and they are Air, Water and Fire.
And from them came descendants.

And seven planets and their hosts, and twelve diagonal boundaries...

true witnesses in the Space, Time, and Souls (Olam, Shana and Nefesh)....



He set them in the Teli (Axis), the Cycle, and the Heart.



Three Mothers Letters Aleph, Mem and Shin are Air, Water and Fire.
Fire is above, Water is below,
and the Breath of Air balances between them...
Mem hums, Shin hisses, and Aleph is the Breath of Air between them.

The Teli in Space is like a king on his throne.
The Cycle in Time is like a king in the province.
The Heart in Souls is like a king in war.

"Also God made one opposite the other" -
good from good, evil from evil.
Good defines evil and evil defines good.
Good is kept for the good ones
and evil is kept for the evil ones.

Three, each one stands alone,
one acts as advocate, one acts as accuser,
and one decides between them.

Seven, is three opposite three,
and one deciding between them.

Twelve stand in war,
three love, three hate;
three give life, and three kill.
The three that love are the heart and the ears.
The three that hate are the liver, the gall, and the tongue.
The three that give life are the nostrils and the spleen.
The three that kill are the two intestines and the mouth.

And God Faithful King rules over them all from his holy abode forever and ever.
One on three,
three on seven,
seven on twelve,
and all are bound together.

These are the Twenty-two Letters
with which Yah engraved and made Three Sepharim,
and with them He created His universe.
And with them He formed all that was ever formed,
and all that will ever be formed.

And when Abraham our father looked, saw, understood, probed,
engraved and carved,
he was successful in creation.

Immediately the Master of all was revealed to him.
He placed him in His bosom, and kissed him on his head.
And He called him "Abraham my beloved".
He made a brit with him and with his children after him forever...

He made a brit with him that is between the ten fingers of his hands -
this is the brit of the tongue;
and between the ten toes of his feet - this is the brit of circumcision.

He bound the Twenty-two Letters of the Torah to his tongue
and revealed to him His mystery.

He drew them in Water,
He flamed them with Fire,
He gave them sound with Breath.

He ignited them with the seven planets
and directed them with the twelve constellations.
