The All Motion was His speech. He said: I Am, and comprehended all things, the seen and the unseen. Nor is there aught in all the universe but what is part of Him. He said: I am the soul of all. The seen and unseen are of My person. By virtue of My Presence all things are. By virtue of My Presence is life. By virtue of My Presence are the living brought forth into life. I am the Creator, the Quickener, the Destroyer. Of two apparent entities am I; nevertheless I am but one. These entities are the unseen, which is potent; and the seen, which of itself is impotent. Of these two entities, in likeness of Myself, made I all the living. For as the life is the potent part, so is the corporeal part the impotent part. Chief over all that live on the earth I made man, male and female. And that man might distinguish Me, I commanded him to give Me a name. And man named Me not after anything visible in heaven or on the earth. By virtue of My Presence named he Me after the sounds the wind utter eth, And he said: E-- O--IH, Which is now pronounced JEHOVIH, And is written thus: Cycle or Creation CHAPTER I. in the extreme parts, condense I the at- In Kosmon man looked upward in mospherean worlds that float in the firm- ament; and these become My corporeal prayer, desiring to know the manner of all worlds.
