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 [pg 316] 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 Microprosopus, and formeth another brain.
