King mounts his throne, and when God appears, the
Gods are banished."72
What we have here, by analogy, is the fact that the previous chaos
is not nothingness nor negativeness, but simply a state of imbalance that
is corrected by the shining light of the sun sweeping away the darkness,
and the formation of a new archetypal face. For we are told:
The Divine Image is a double one. There are heads of
light and shadow, the white ideal and the black ideal, the
upper head and the lower. One is the dream of the Man­
God and the other is the invention of the God-man.
One represents God the wise, and the other, the idol of
the lowly.73
The restoration of Adam by YHYH shows that in the single head,
called the Attik Yomin or the Ancient of Days,74 are three further heads
and these are but a reflection of the Supernal Triad. Each head comprises
a Tree of Life of Ten Sephiroth which has been reflected through and
down by the emanations of the First Adam. The first head is Concealed
Wisdom, the second is Hidden Wisdom, while the third head is Remaining
Wisdom. The diagram of the head is broken down into seven parts:
(1) The cranium or skull has no beginning but the emanations
reflected on its surface are said to have received the input from 400
worlds. This figure is arrived at through the fact that each of the ten
Sephiroth contains ten Sephiroth( for example Malkuth of Kether, Yesod
of Kether, etc.) and this situation is reflected in each of the Four Worlds
of Arzilurh, Briah, Yetzirah, and Assiah-thus 10 x 10 x 4 = 400. It is also
the numerical value of Tau, the last letter in the Hebrew Alphabet for,
while it has no beginning, it has an end or limit to its size. The Zohar tells
us that the skull is the residual place of knowledge and is the residence
not only of the Son but of the 32 Paths and 50 gates. 75

74 He is called the Ancient of Days because Daniel said that he had seen the Thrones of Life giving
Fire overturned and the Ancient of Days sit down so that he can renew the world around Him.
(Daniel 7:9)
