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