Know
Before the beginning of creation was only the Highest
All full filling light
Free
Fulfillment, no emptiness
Only endless, equal light
Circled everything

Then He decided to create worlds and creatures
So that He revealed His perfection
Reason for creating the worlds

He restricted Himself in His center
Pressed the light together and withdraw
Free place stood behind, empty space filled with endless
Around the center
Equally pressed
So this empty place became a circle
So the light restricted Him self

And see
After compressing
In the central of the space filled with endless light
Forms His self a round emptiness
Then
A place appeared
Where creation and creatures can exists

And see
A strait forward ray forms itself from endless light
From above to below descended He in the empty place
Reached out His self, descended per ray to below
Endless light
All the worlds were perfect
In this empty space

For the worlds the Endless was
In His perfection outstanding
No creature has strength to grasp His perfection
Concrete form cannot reach Him
For Him there is no place, no border, no time

And via the ray the light descended
To worlds
In black empty space were everything is

And each circle
Of each world
Near the light - is worthy
To our world of material in the center
Within all circles in the center of endless emptiness

Expelled from endless – further then all the worlds
Material so eternal low –
He is within all the circles –
In the middle center of the endless emptiness…..
