The ear from within dependeth upon certain curves which are therein formed, so that the speech may be made clearer before its entrance into the brain.
And the brain examineth it, but not with haste. For every matter which is accomplished in haste cometh not from perfect wisdom.
From those ears depend all the Lords of Wings who receive the Voice of the Universe; and all those are called thus, the Ears of Tetragrammaton.
Concerning whom it is written, Eccles. x. 20, “For a bird of the air shall carry the voice,” etc.
“For a bird of the air shall carry the voice.” This text hath a difficult (meaning). And now (for so much is expressed) whence is the voice?
For in the beginning of the verse it is written: “Curse not the King even in thy thought.” Where it is written concerning [pg 348] even the (unexpressed) thought, and concerning the secret thoughts of thy couch.
Wherefore? Because “a bird of the air shall carry the voice.” Which (voice) as yet is unexpressed.
Assuredly this is the true meaning. Whatsoever a man thinketh and meditateth in his heart, he maketh not a word until he bringeth it forth with his lips. (What the text intendeth is) if any man attendeth not hereunto.
For that voice sent forward (from inconsiderate thought) cleaveth the air, and it goeth forth and ascendeth, and is carried around through the universe; and therefore is the voice.
And the Lords of Wings receive the voice and bear it on unto the King (Microprosopus), so that it may enter into His ears.
