1
And it came to pass that hat the malak of יהוה (YHVH), Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening), did stand before me, and he did open his mouth, and he did speak unto me saying:
2
Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee of the symbols that thou did engrave upon that sword which thou did set apart to use in glorifying יהוה (YHVH):
3
For thou did pray over it, asking יהוה (YHVH) to sanctify it, that it be holy; and thou did carry it with thee and thou did sleep with it by thy side;
4
And thou did fast, not eating any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor fish, nor honey, eating only that manna YHVH thy Elohim did give thee for thy sustenance;
5
And thou did bathe every night, touching not that which is unclean, washing thy hands in salt once in the morning, once at midday, and once in the evening;
6
And thou did keep thy thoughts pure, that when my brother, Ariel, did come before thee, asking for that sword, he did present it unto you after thou did set it at his feet.
7
And Ariel did declare it holy; therefore, it is holy, save it be desecrated by the shedding of blood.
8
But what of these symbols thou did place upon them? doth thou know them?
9
¶ And I did open up my mouth, speaking unto that malak, saying: Nay, except that they are written upon the night sky, for my learning was in the language of the Egyptians.
10
¶ And that malak, Qaphsiel, did open again his mouth and he did speak unto me, saying:
11
I shall tell thee now of the three symbols etched upon the hilt (the handle or the base), marked in the three stones:
12
And these are the three mothers, even Aleph, Mem, and Shin;
13
And Aleph is that path of wisdom, and Mem is that path of divine mediation, and Shin is that path of the sacred body;
14
For the revelation is given by the Breath of יהוה (YHVH) into mankind, the flow of divine power comes from the heavens to fill the earth, and the flesh of mankind is the temple of יהוה (YHVH), for the Breath doth dwell within.
15
¶ And these three are the Mothers for they are Creators, and by these symbols are the foundations of this reality (Hebrew: קשט, truth, balance, or equity) created.
16
Yea, and these three are the very foundations of the whole, keep them in thy hands,
17
For in them is the mystery and they who have them are given power over fire, water, and air:
18
The male of them and the female of them, which is to say the giving of them and the taking of them.
19
For the Mothers are creators; therefore, there is a masculine and a feminine to them, and the great Mediator who is יהוה (YHVH) doth stand between them;
20
For in the chest of mankind air (Aleph), and in the center of mankind is the water (Mem), and in the head of mankind is the fire (Shin),
21
And without the breath there is no life, and without the blood there is no life, an without the spirit there is no life; therefore, without these, the Mothers, there is no life in mankind.
22
And these three Mothers are the Earth, for she did give birth to mankind; therefore, give her the honor she is due;
23
Yea, and respect thy Mother the earth, and thy Father in the Heavens, for these are the Creator, and thou art their creation.
24
¶ All of the symbols of the skies are written upon Aleph, she is the first Mother from before this creation, she is of יהוה (YHVH) for she is the silence of all things and the breath of all things.
25
She is the Mother who connects the Creator and the creation, the Heavens and the earth, she is the breath in and the breath out and the pause in between.
26
She is the mother who did brood over the waters of the abyss before the creation, she is the sacred breath that did breathe life into mankind.
27
She is drawn as the path towards the heaven (the upper world) and the path to the earth (the lower world) with a ladder uniting them, that ladder is Vav, the very staff of righteousness.
28
Aleph is One even as YHVH is One.
29
¶ In the beginning, the Breath of Ha’Elohim did rest upon Mem, the waters of the abyss (1 Moses 3:4-5), she is the first Mother of the creation for in her did the intelligence rest and all creation did come forth from out of her.
30
She is the Mother who doth connect mankind unto YHVH יהוה (YHVH) through that Torah, for in her is the mercy of knowledge and wisdom bringing both life and chaos.
31
She is the mother who is the womb, holding in her the secrets of this creation, for in her is the water of mercy that shall quench all thirst.
32
She is drawn as the waves of the sea, moved by the Mother air, reaching down to the earth to give her the mercy of YHVH, lifting mankind up, connecting the Heavens and the earth.
33
¶ Mankind is created by the letter Shin, being born again by she who is first Mother in the creation of the soul, that mankind be given their own will and pleasure, intellect, and emotions.
34
She is the Mother who connects mankind to Ha’Elohim, bringing the seven degrees of creation into the three ages before the creation.
35
She is the Mother of the suffering servant and of the conquering king, for even as the messiah who shall come in the meridian of time shall suffer in death that justice be served, he too shall live again, the king to conquer death.
36
And she is drawn as three pillars of faith: prayer, and deeds of righteousness, and the study of the Torah, connected by that straight path that is Israel (straight to God),
37
And she is made by the thumb extended outward and upward, the first two fingers straight together, and the last two fingers straight together (this may be done by one or both hands).
38
¶ And these are the three Mothers who are the three creators of the divine symbols written upon the night skies.
39
The fire of Shin is above, water of Mem below, the breath of Aleph brings them together, that the fire should be upon the earth and the water in the sky that mankind should be given life eternal.
40
And Shin does give mankind strength for action, and Mem the womb that mankind should be born again, and Aleph the divine breath of creation that mankind should be even as Ha’Elohim.
41
All they who are brought unto YHVH Elohim have been taught by these, their mothers, and if they shall doubt not, YHVH Elohim shall deliver them;
42
For thou must be born again, and this not just once, but in every world you ascend.
