The opening
CHAPTER I.
1. Tradition.—“The Book of Concealed Mystery” is the book of the equilibrium of balance.
2. Tradition.—For before there was equilibrium, countenance beheld not countenance.
3. And the kings of ancient time were dead, and their crowns were found no more; and the earth was desolate.
4. Until that head (which is incomprehensible) desired by all desires (proceeding from AIN SVP, Ain Soph, the infinite and limitless one), appeared and communicated the vestments of honour.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
