86 The Kabbalah ofthe Golden Dawn
(7) The Father (ABBA), and Mother (AlMA are concealed within
the beard and are united by the 8th and 13th parts. The fact that they are
hidden shows that they arc produced from this level to form in the lower
area of the Macroprosopus (where the beard finishes covering the length
of the whole body), for the Father and Mother are analogous to
Chokmah and Binah of the Sephirotic system. The names of lshrael and
Tebunah (which some have considered as Chokmah and Binah), however,
are in fact an outer covering for these forces, yet still distinct from
them. They cover the area of the Arik Anpin, for these are the direct
emanations that enter the brain of the Zauir Anpin.
(8) From the Father and Mother the Son is produced, and he is
called the Zauir Anpin, or Lesser Countenance, which relates ro rhe letter
Vau. The Lesser Countenance equates with the Sephiroth Chesed to
Yesod of the Sephirotic system.
(9) The Bride of the Microsrosopus (Malkah), representing the Heh
(final) force, goes through a period of changes of personality at varying
stages or times. Mathers says:78
The conception of the Microprosopus is more properly
under the name of Jacob, whose wife is Rachel; and his
cognomen, is Israel, whose wife is Leah. 79
Applied to the figure, Leah is the area from the neck to the pit of
the chest, where she then joins Rachel's head. The wombs of both produce
the five loves and five powers.
Up to this point, some students of the Zohar have considered that
the world of Atailuth is being discussed, and that anything below this
point now disperses into the world of Briah. This belief, to a certain
extent, contradicts the extra dimension theory (which the Golden
Dawn have tended to ignore in favor of the Atziluthic system, as advocated
by Rosenroth). Because of the confusion and complexity of this
section with the Sephiroth system, some Kabbalists have considered that
each section of the Figure can be broken down into ten Sephiroth and
78 "Siphra Dtzenioutha, II Mathers translation.
19 On the night of the nuptials Leah wassubstituted for Rachel, unbeknown to Jacob.
