And within the soul is the Spirit: and the Spirit is One, yet has it likewise three elements.
And these are the gates of the oracle of God, which is the ark of the covenant;
The rod, the host[76], and the law:
The force which solves, and transmutes, and divines: the bread of heaven which is the substance of all things and the food of angels; the table of the law, which is the will of God, written with the finger of the Lord.
If these three be within thy spirit, then shall the Spirit of God be within thee.
And the glory shall be upon the propitiatory, in the holy place of thy prayer.
These are the twelve gates of regeneration: through which if a man enter he shall have right to the tree of life.
For the number of that Tree is Thirteen.
It may happen to a man to have three, to another five, to another seven, to another ten.
But until a man have twelve, he is not master over the last enemy.
