My LORD’s BibleThe Lesser Holy Assembly (Idra Zuta Qadisha) 4
113THE eyes of the Head of the Most Holy Ancient One are two in one, equal, which ever watch, and sleep not.
114Like as it is written, Ps. cxxi. 4: “The Keeper of Israel neither slumbereth nor sleepeth,” &c.—namely, of Israel the holy.
115And therefore are there no eyebrows nor eyelashes unto His eyes.
116This Brain is conformed and illuminated with three supernal white brilliances.
117With this white brilliance are the eyes of Microprosopus bathed.
118As it is written, Cant. v. 12: “Washed with milk,” flowing down from the fulness of that primal white brilliance.
119And with the remaining white brilliances are the other lights cleansed and purified.
120The Brain is called the Fountain of Benevolence, the fountain wherein all blessings are found.
121And 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.
122For through the Brain are manifested the white brilliances of the eye.
123And when this eye looketh upon Microprosopus, all the worlds are (in a state of) happiness.
124This is the right eye. The inferior eyes are right and left, two in duplicate colour.
126Unto the Ancient One pertain all the Superiors, and unto Microprosopus the Inferiors.
127They depend not in another manner, but only thus; for from the Most Holy Ancient One do they depend.
128For the Name of the Ancient One is concealed in all things, neither is it found.
129But 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.
130And therefore is the Holy Name alike concealed and manifest.
131For that which is concealed pertaineth unto the Most Holy Ancient One, the Concealed in all things.
132But 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, &c.)
133And therefore do all the blessings require both concealment and manifestation.
134Those concealed letters which hang behind depend from the Most Holy Ancient One.
135Wherefore 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 dependeth towards the Inferior Yod.)
