Quotes

Here is the end of all energy; it is away from the "formative world" altogether, where things are elastic. So far as the Sephira is concerned, it is right down in the world of Assiah. By the mere fact of having devised four elements, the current has derogated from the original perfection. (Book of Thoth)
