A GLANCE THROUGH THE BOOK OF CREATIONS : PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />

<strong>Sefer</strong> <strong>Yetzira</strong> of Father Abraham<br />

1.11 He selected three letters from among the simple ones and sealed them<br />

and formed them into a Great Name, I H V, and with this He sealed the universe<br />

in six directions.<br />

Five.- He looked above, and sealed the height, with I H V.<br />

Six.- He looked below, and sealed the deep, with I V H.<br />

Seven.- He looked forward, and sealed the East, with H I V.<br />

Eight.-He looked backward, and sealed the West, with V H I.<br />

Nine.- He looked to the right, and sealed the South, with V I H.<br />

Ten.-He looked to the left, and sealed the North, with H V 1.<br />

1.12. Behold! From the Ten ineffable Sephiroth do, proceed--the One Spirit<br />

of the Gods of the living, Air, Water, Fire; and also Height, Depth, East, West,<br />

South and North.<br />

These are the ten ineffable existences, the spirit of the living God, Air, Water, Fire, Height and<br />

Depth, East and West, North and South.<br />

He made his own name from it all and chose IHV from which we have the name<br />

IHVH or YHVH.<br />

With the three letters of his name God make the three dimensions of space Length,<br />

Breadth, Height. With all its six directions<br />

1.13 These are the ten ineffable existences:<br />

the spirit of the living God, Air, Water, Fire, Height<br />

and Depth, East and West, North and South.<br />

The last six directions actually defines the material space.<br />

It will then become Air, water, Fire added the material space<br />

along with the life giving spirit as the basis of life.<br />

These Ten Intangible Sefiroth are ONE -<br />
