The Lesser Holy Assembly (Idra Zuta Qadisha) 6

150From the Beard of the Most Holy Ancient One hangeth the whole ornament of all, and the Influence; for all things are called from that beard, Influence.
151This is the Ornament of all Ornaments, and this influence do all the superiors and inferiors alike behold.
152From this Influence dependeth the life of all things.
153From this Influence heavens and earth depend, the rains of grace, and the nourishment of all things.
154From this Influence cometh the providence of all things. From this Influence depend all the superior and inferior hosts.
155Thirteen fountains of excellent and precious oil depend from this beard of most glorious Influence, and they all flow down into Microprosopus.
156Say not thou, however, that all do so, but nine of them are found (in Microprosopus) for the purpose of diverting the judgments.
157And whensoever this Influence hangeth down in equilibrium even unto the heart, all the Holinesses of the Holinesses of Holiness depend from it.
158In that Influence is extended an expansion of the Supernal Emanation, which is the Head of all Heads, which is not known nor perfected, and which neither superiors nor inferiors have known, because from that Influence all things depend.
159In this beard the Three Heads concerning which we have spoken are expanded, and all things are associated together in this Influence, and are found therein.
160And therefore every ornament of ornaments dependeth from that Influence.
161Those letters which depend from this Ancient One all hang in that beard, and are associated together in that Influence.
162And they hang therein for the purpose of establishing the other letters.
163For unless those letters could ascend into the Ancient One, those other letters could not be established.
164And therefore Moses saith when necessary IHVH, IHVH, twice; and so that an accent distinguishes the one from the other.
165For assuredly from the Influence all things depend.
166By that Influence are both superiors and inferiors brought unto reverence, and are prostrate before It.
167Blessed is he who attaineth hereunto.
