“Whosoever acquaints himself with the Mercaba and the lahgash (secret speech or incantation), will learn the secret of secrets.”
Both “THIS” and En-Soph, in their first manifestation of Light, emerging from within Darkness, may be summarized in the Svabhavat, the Eternal and the uncreated Self-existing Substance which produces all; while everything which is of its essence produces itself out of its own nature.

The Space Around the Upper Triangle.
When the “Night of Brahma” was ended, and the time came for the Self-Existent to manifest Itself by revelation, it made its glory visible by sending forth from its Essence an active Power, which, female at first, subsequently becomes [[Column continues on next page]]

The Space Around the Upper Triangle.
When the active period had arrived, En-Soph sent forth from within his own eternal essence, Sephira, the active Power, called the Primordial Point, and the Crown, Keter. It is only through her that the “Un-bounded Wisdom” could [[Column continues on next page]]

androgyne. It is Aditi, the “Infinite,” the Boundless, or rather the “Unbounded.” Aditi is the “mother” of all the gods, and Aditi is the Father and the Son. “Who will give us back to the great Aditi, that I may see father and mother?” It is in conjunction with the latter female, Force, that the Divine but latent Thought produces the great “Deep” — water. “Water is born from a transformation of light . . . and from a modification of the water is born the earth,” says Manu (book i.).
“Ye are born of Aditi from the water, you who are born of the earth, hear ye all my call.”
In this water (or primeval chaos) the “Infinite” androgyne, which, with the Eternal Cause, forms the first abstract Triad, rendered by AUM, deposited the germ of universal life. It is the Mundane Egg, in which took place the gestation of Purusha, or the manifested Brahma. The germ which fecundated the Mother Principle (the water) is called Nara, the Divine Spirit or Holy Ghost, and the waters themselves, are an emanation of the former, Nari, while the Spirit which brooded over it is called Narayana.
“In that egg, the great Power sat inactive a whole year of the Creator, at the close of which, by
his thought alone, he caused the egg to divide itself.” The upper half became heaven, the lower, the [[Column continues on next page]]

give a concrete form to his abstract Thought. Two sides of the upper triangle, the right side and the base, are composed of unbroken lines; the third, the left side, is dotted. It is through the latter that emerges Sephira. Spreading in every direction, she finally encompasses the whole triangle. In this emanation of the female active principle from the left side of the mystic triangle, is foreshadowed the creation of Eve from Adam’s left rib. Adam is the Microcosm of the Macrocosm, and is created in the image of the Elohim. In the Tree of Life the triple triad is disposed in such a manner that the three male Sephiroth are on the right, the three female on the left, and the four uniting principles in the centre. From the Invisible Dew falling from the Higher “Head” Sephira creates primeval water, or chaos taking shape. It is the first step toward the solidification of Spirit, which through various modifications will produce earth. “It requires earth and water to make a living soul,” says Moses.
When Sephira emerges like an active power from within the latent Deity, she is [[Column continues on next page]]

earth (both yet in their ideal, not their manifested form).
Thus, this second triad, only another name for the first one (never pronounced aloud), and which is the real pre-Vedic and primordial secret Trimurti, consisted of
Nara, Father-Heaven,Nari, Mother-Earth,Viradj, the Son — or Universe.
The Trimurti, comprising Brahma, the Creator, Vishnu, the Preserver, and Siva, the Destroyer and Regenerator, belongs to a later period. It is an anthropomorphic afterthought, invented for the more popular comprehension of the uninitiated masses. The Dikshita, the initiate, knew better. Thus, also, the profound allegory under the colors of a ridiculous fable, given in the Aytareya Brahmana, which resulted in the representations in some temples of Brahm-Nara, assuming the form of a bull, and his daughter, Aditi-Nari, that of a heifer, contains the same
