BEHOLD! The Shout was revealed from the Hidden Chamber of the Most High, declaring to the Primal Pen these words: βO Pen! Engrave upon the shining and luminous Tablet from the mysteries of Pre-Existence.β The Pen was overwhelmed for seventy-thousand years, according to such as reckon time, yearning for this call. Then when It recovered, while the Wisdom of the divine Decree rose upon It once more, lo, It wept for another seventy-thousand years. Thereafter It stood attentively in the Presence of God for a time which hath not been preceded by the Wisdom of the First Principle in the beginning, nor shall it be concluded by the Wisdom of the Last Principle in the end. As It became inflamed by the fire of remoteness at having become severed from the call of Pure Attraction, the color of blackness appeared within Its tear-ducts through the Dominion of Accomplishment, and from the black tears It shed a tear upon the Tablet. As a result the Point was revealed in the world of origination, and this Point appeared as the Template of the First Principle upon the mirrors of the Letters in harmony with the essences of the divine Names.
