- Fourth Verse -
Original Hebrew:
ואמרת היא-אשר-הוה:
אם נעשה עלם במקום,
עלם משלם!
ואמר הוא-אשר-הוה:
הבה נעשה העולם ההוא!
Transliteration:
Veomeret Hi-Ašer-Howa:
Im na‘ase ‘Olam baMaqom,
‘Olam Mušlam!
Veomer Hu-Ašer-Howe:
Haβa na‘ase ha‘Olam hahu!
English Translation:
And She-Who-Is says:
If We made a World in Space,
an Ideal World!
And He-Who-Is says:
Let Us make this World!
Commentary:
In the Fourth Step (Cancer), He and She (and She first), after having meditated on Their Attribute of Space, see in It the potentiality of being the Receptacle of a Manifestation, Expression of Their Talents and Game Potency, a Fresco displaying, in symbolized ways, the Glory of Their Attributes and Principles: the World, in which They would project Themselves as Expansions and Parcels of Themselves who would share Their Love and Knowledge.
By this Thought, She-Who-Is becomes clothed with the Aspect of “Mother”.
He-Who-Is naturally answers positively, in His turn becoming clothed with the Aspect of “Father”.
Original Hebrew:
כאן מתחל
חלום העולם
Transliteration:
Kan matĥil
Ĥalom ha‘Olam
English Translation:
Here begins
the Dream of the World
Commentary:
They imagine the World.
The Concept of Dream does not mean that the World is illusory, for all in BEING is pure Reality, including His “Dream”, Manifestation of His Power of Imagination, of His Creative Potency.
Beginning to dream the World, He and She had the Vision of it. Maintaining it in Their Thought, They enter a dreamy, poetic mood. Each of Their Acts, each of Their Thoughts is Poetry, but here this is particularly manifest.
