The “three Heads,” superposed above each other, are evidently taken from the three mystic triangles of the Hindus, which also superpose each other. The highest “head” contains the _Trinity in Chaos_, out of which springs the manifested trinity. En-Soph, the unrevealed forever, who is boundless and unconditioned, cannot create, and therefore it seems to us a great error to attribute to him a “creative thought,” as is commonly done by the interpreters. In every cosmogony this supreme Essence is _passive_; if boundless, infinite, and unconditioned, it can have no _thought_ nor _idea_. It acts not as the result of volition, but in obedience to its own nature, and _according to the fatality of the law of which it is itself the embodiment_. Thus, with the Hebrew kabalists, En-Soph is non-existent עַיִן, for it is incomprehensible to our finite intellects, and therefore cannot exist to our minds. Its first emanation was Sephira, the crown כתר. When the time for an active period had come, then was produced a natural expansion of this Divine essence from within outwardly, obedient to eternal and immutable law; and from this eternal and infinite light (which to us is darkness) was emitted a spiritual substance.[397] This was the First Sephiroth, containing in herself the other nine ספירות Sephiroth, or intelligences. In their totality and unity they represent the archetypal man, Adam Kadmon, the πρωτόγονος, who in his individuality or unity is yet dual, or bisexual, the Greek _Didumos_, for he is the prototype of all humanity. Thus we obtain three trinities, each contained in a “head.” In the first head, or face (the three-faced Hindu Trimurti), we find _Sephira_, the first androgyne, at the apex of the upper triangle, emitting _Hackama_, or Wisdom, a masculine and active potency--also called Jah, יה--and _Binah_, בינה, or Intelligence, a female and passive potency, also represented by the name Jehovah יהוה. These three form the first trinity or “face” of the Sephiroth. This triad emanated _Hesed_, חסד, or Mercy, a masculine active potency, also called _El_, from which emanated _Geburah_ דין, or Justice, also called Eloha, a feminine passive potency; from the union of these two was produced Tiphereth תפארת, Beauty, Clemency, the Spiritual Sun, known by the divine name _Elohim_; and the second triad, “face,” or “head,” was formed. These emanating, in their turn, the masculine potency _Netzah_, נצח, Firmness, or Jehovah Sabaoth, who issued the feminine passive potency _Hod_, הוד, Splendor, or Elohim Sabaoth; the two produced _Jesod_, יסוד, Foundation, who is the mighty living one _El-Chai_, thus yielding the third trinity or “head.” The tenth Sephiroth is rather a duad, and is represented on the diagrams as the lowest circle. It is Malchuth or Kingdom, מלכות, and Shekinah שכינה, also called Adonai, and _Cherubim_ among the angelic hosts. The first “Head” is called the Intellectual world; the second “Head” is the
