The _union_ of all the Seven colors is the _White_, the analogous symbol of the GOOD: the _absence_ of all is the _Black_, the analogous symbol of the EVIL. There are three primary colors, _Red_, _Yellow_, and _Blue_; and four secondary, _Orange_, _Green_, _Indigo_, and _Violet_; and all these God displays to man in the rainbow; and they have their analogies also in the moral and intellectual world. The same number, _Seven_, continually reappears in the Apocalypse, compounded of _three_ and _four_; and these numbers relate to the last Seven of the Sephiroth, three answering to BENIGNITY or MERCY, SEVERITY or JUSTICE, and BEAUTY or HARMONY; and four to _Netzach_, _Hōd_, _Yesōd_, and _Malakoth_, VICTORY, GLORY, STABILITY, and DOMINATION. The same numbers also represent the _first_ three Sephiroth, KETHER, KHOKMAH, and BAINAH, or _Will_, _Wisdom_, and _Understanding_, which, with DAATH or _Intellection_ or _Thought_, are also four, DAATH not being regarded as a Sephirah, not as the Deity acting, or as a potency, energy, or attribute, but as the Divine Action. The Sephiroth are commonly figured in the Kabalah as constituting a human form, the ADAM KADMON or MACROCOSM. Thus arranged, the universal law of Equipoise is three times exemplified. From that of the Divine Intellectual, Active, Masculine ENERGY, and the Passive CAPACITY to produce Thought, the action of THINKING results. From that of BENIGNITY and SEVERITY, HARMONY flows; and from that of VICTORY or an Infinite overcoming, and GLORY, which, being Infinite, would seem to forbid the existence of obstacles or opposition, results STABILITY or PERMANENCE, which is the perfect DOMINION of the Infinite WILL. The last nine Sephiroth are included in, at the same time that they have flowed forth from, the first of all, KETHER, or the CROWN. Each also, in succession flowed from, and yet still remains included in, the one preceding it. The Will of God _includes_ His Wisdom, and His Wisdom _is_ His Will specially developed and acting. This Wisdom is the LOGOS that creates, mistaken and personified by Simon Magus and the succeeding Gnostics. By means of its utterance, the letter YŌD, it creates the worlds, first in the Divine Intellect as an Idea, which invested with form became the fabricated World, the Universe of material reality. YŌD and HE, two letters of the Ineffable Name of the Manifested Deity, represent the Male and the Female, the Active and the Passive in Equilibrium, and the VAV completes the Trinity and the Triliteral Name [Hebrew: יהו], the Divine Triangle, which with the repetition of the _He_ becomes the Tetragrammaton. Thus the ten Sephiroth contain all the Sacred Numbers, _three_, _five_, _seven_, and _nine_, and the perfect Number _Ten_, and correspond with the Tetractys of Pythagoras. BEING IS BEING, [Hebrew: אהיה אשר אהיה], _Ahayah Asar Ahayah_. This is the Principle, the "BEGINNING."
