In the softer (locks) adhere the Lords of Equilibrium, as it is written, Ps. xxv. 10, “All the paths of Tetragrammaton are CHSD, _Chesed_, and AMTH, _Emeth_, Mercy and Truth.” And thus when these developments of the Brain emanate from the Concealed Brain, hencefrom each singly deriveth its own nature. From the one Brain the Lords of Equilibrium proceed through those softer locks, as it is written, Ps. xxv. 10, “All the paths of Tetragrammaton are Chesed and Emeth.” From the second Brain the Lords of Lamentation and Wailing proceed through those rigid locks and depend (from them). Concerning whom it is written, Prov. iv. 19, “The path of the wicked is as darkness; they know not wherein they stumble.” What is this passage intended to imply? Assuredly the sense of these words: “they know not,” is this: “They do not know, and they do not wish to know.” “Wherein they stumble.” Do not read “BMH, _Bameh_, wherein,” but “BAIMA, _Be-Aima_, in Aima, the Mother,” they stumble; that is, through those who are attributed unto the side of the Mother. What is the side of the Mother? Severe Rigor, whereunto are attributed the Lords of Lamentation and Wailing. From the third Brain the Lords of Lords proceed through those locks arranged in the middle condition (_i.e._, partly hard and partly soft), and depend (therefrom); and they are called the Luminous and the Non-Luminous Countenances. And concerning these it is written, Prov. iv. 26, “Ponder the path of thy feet.” And all these are found in those locks of the hair of the Head. Chapter XIII: Concerning the Forehead of Microprosopus The forehead of the Skull (of Microprosopus) is the forehead for visiting sinners (otherwise, for rooting out sinners). And when that forehead is uncovered there are excited the Lords of Judgments against those who are shameless in their deeds. This forehead hath a rosy redness. But at that time when the forehead of the Ancient One is uncovered over against this forehead, the latter appeareth white as snow. And that time is called the Time of Grace for all. In the “Book of the Teaching of the School of Rav Yeyeva the Elder” it is said: The forehead is according as the forehead(856) of the Ancient One. Otherwise, the letter _Cheth_, CH, is placed between the other two letters, according to this passage, Num. xxiv. 17, “VMCHTZ, _Ve-Machetz_, and shall smite the corners of Moab?” And we have elsewhere said that it is also called NTZCH, _Netzach_, the neighboring letters (M and N, neighboring letters in the alphabet, that is, and allied in sense, for _Mem_ = Water, and _Nun_ = Fish, that which lives in the water) being counter-changed. (_Netzach_ = Victory, and is the seventh Sephira.) But many are the NTZCHIM, _Netzachim_, Victories;(857) so that another (development of) Netzach may be elevated into another path, and other Netzachim may be given which are extended throughout the whole body (of Microprosopus).
