And when they converse together it is like talk between persons in whom there is no hatred, envy, or dissension.
And if amongst all these worlds, there be one superfluous or another lacking from the structure, that is in the Body, the whole Body is harmed, for they counterpoise one another, and the Soul dwells in their midst as they dwell with one another.
And if they are not counterpoised, one corrupts the other and they, together with Body and Soul, are not mutually established.
For when the Body was formed, a soul (nisimla) was formed, and when the Soul took shape in the Body, the Body formed the Vital Spirit (ruha).
And when both had taken shape, the Womb was formed. For the Womb is a great world, there is no world greater or more powerful than it.
And the Blood that is within it is lovely Radiance (or Light), and the Blood that is in its Heart is precious and sublime Radiance, and the blood in its Liver lovely and plenteous Radiance, that moves in all the Body.
And the blood that is in the Veins is flowing Radiance.
These are the four Emanations of Light which control the Body, if they had been but three, the Body would not have been established.
If the juices of the liver imbibe from them, four fluids intermingle, they are become one: fluids which plasma deposits, and they are wholesome, some are gathered from the eyes; other fluids gathered from the ears; further, mingled fluids are gathered from the nostrils.
Moreover, these four humors resemble blood and water; each of which has its own inherent quality.
From these, four qualities and four colors arise, and of these four humors one of them is red, one of them yellow, one of them white, and one of them black.
And from the black one evil impurities originate which injure spirit and soul, and they fear it and quake before it.
Then there are four other qualities, which proceed from the watery humors by which the whole body is interpenetrated.
The quality of one is wholesome and pleasing so that the soul gladly sits in its company.
And one of them is pungent and its odor hateful, another is salty and of the nature of salt which dries up the mysteries of the body, and one of them is troublesome, bile is its name.
For the blend of mysteries are held togather by stability, each one with all its brethren.
Four winds are kept within it.
And of these four qualities, each one of them has four attributes: thus there are sixteen attributes, and each of these sixteen have thirty-two characteristics, and of those thirty-two characteristics sixty-four qualities tendencies characterize the Body: heating, drying, and consuming; hence they are called sixty-four sins.
Every man whose soul as delivered from these cities, sixty-four sins, namely these, shall be loosed from him.
In the name of the Great Life!
So, when the soul reached the seven mysteries, a servant of the seven want forth towards her and came and embraced her and said to her, “Where do you come from and where are you going?”
I will say to him “I come from the Body the name of which is ‘earth’ and I journey towards the Good Kimsa.’
And the servant will said to the soul, “Who are you and whom are you called a messenger?”
I will say to them “I am the servant of the beloved Kimsa and the messenger of Ayar-Sagia.”
Then they bless and praise her and say to her:
“Every man who knows this saying will rise towards the good Kimsa because he seeks to control the mysteries of the body.”
And they question her and then she rises up towards the good Kim-sa.
Finis.
This is a secret mystery and explanation of the Body, that is esoteric and not revealed, which I have copied who am poor, lowly, striving and childlike, a slave who is all sin.
I am Zakia-Z.ihrun.
The earth is a body and air (ayar) is the soul therein.
And its burgeonings -forth are its bones and the rivers are its veins; its blood is the ocean and Its womb....
The copper earth is the legs upon which the body is supported, and its supporting columns are in the earth...
the Body and its size, its convexity and its extent ...
and the hair of the head, the eye-brows and eyelashes, hair beneath the buttocks and breasts, and the hair of the whole body.
Moreover each extremity is the end of one world.
The right is a world and the left a world; the breasts are two worlds and the two feet two worlds, and the two shanks two worlds and the knees two worlds.
The two thighs are two worlds and the whole trunk is two worlds.
And the male organ as vigorous in its strength and imperial majesty: the body, the earth and heavens and the worlds of light and darkness, are equipped therewith.
It is a strong implement, and kingliness resembles it for the whole Body and the kings are safeguarded thereby and no trees, birds, animals, cattle, or running waters can escape its compulsion.
For seven kings are incorporated therein standing in seven garments and written with, seven letters namely, GABARUT(A) [virility]-- their name.
For the male organ as the channel of mysteries, it is a wellspring and hair comes out from it; thereby the senses are held.
For it is a great mystery to those who perform its function; who erect it in purity and not to excess.
As for those who deprave it, they are cast from the height down to the uttermost limit of the worlds.
The eye is not opened which beholds all worlds; their eyes are dazzled and they behold them not!
So, when you release seed and have been orderly in the act and its fount fell upon the mystery of the womb within her, which is responsive to it, seed and blood love one another and seek their vehicle; soul, a body, and a vital spirit.
And by them kings and regents, yea and the whole world, are created.
And so, when they approach one another, soul and spirit rejoice at that mystery.
As the male seed neared the mystery of the womb, the soul rejoiced and addressed a hymn to it and said:
In the Name of the Great Life!
On the day the Radiance became manifest
And emerged from the Inner Radiance.
The counterpart of the Jordan formed itself in its mirror.
Its counterpart was formed in a jordan that was its mirror,
And in the Ether water was produced.
A jordan issued in radiancy
And water in the Ether was shed abroad;
Shed abroad were the waters in the Ether-air,
And the power of Light divulged itself;
It expressed itself, increased and multiplied.
And the Cown was established, and the Wreath twined;
Twined was the Wreath and the leaves of myrtle flourished,
They flourished, the leaves of the myrtle,
And trees bore their burden of fruit.
Nasirutha spoke in them and twined their purities on kings
From the beginning unto the end.
