froth by sound, and continued by it. This
doctrine is even hidden in plain sight in the
Hebrew scriptures, where Eve is said to be the
"Mother of all living.' The verbal form of this
name means, 'To manifest, to show forth.' But
the first letter of Eve in Hebrew, is Cheth, and to
this Qabalists attribute speech. The second letter
is Vau, attributed to the throat, where speech is
generated. The third letter is Heh, which
indicates definition (being the definite article)
and also vision. Thus the very name of Eve is, to
a Qabalist, a formula of the creative process.

more terrible in the absolute verb, nln; for this
verb, destined to represent the Immutable Being,
expresses only an endless calamity, as I have
explained in speaking of the sacred name m...

by this proper noun I can only refer the reader to
the name of the volitive faculty, 7IB'N [306]

elementary existence ;l?R." [d'olivet, 1976, pp.

IV. "A symbol of the emotional-nature united to
