50. Be apprised that this Alif is in a station which relateth unto the Pure-White
Earth and the glistening Green Light, should ye search diligently into the mysteries
of the natural world. The quality and property of this earth proceedeth from liquid,
could ye but understand, for It becometh solid in the liquid. So glorified is God, the
Originator of It, and exalted is He above thine ability to describe. When this
glistening fluid becometh solidified and is thickened into a fiery liquid, and the heat
is removed from this golden and molten fluid, three things are brought together, the
spirit, the soul, and the body. This verily is that which hath not been anticipated by
the knowledge of anyone among mankind, and all are bewildered by it. As this
incipient earth is thickened from the liquid of this crimson fluid It is then removed,
and when It hath been removed, the dusty color of fire shall appear on Its surface,
which is black. Though ye should not grieve, for should it become black God will,
without a doubt, change this darkness into light, in such wise that a Flame shall be
kindled and be illuminated by the leave of God, the Help in Peril, the Praiseworthy.

if Divinity, forces would be applied to it from a spirit which pertaineth unto It and is
relative to It, for the body does not receive a spirit dissimilar to Itself, should ye take
heed of that which We relate unto thee. Nor shall aught transpire during these days
except that It shall be made white by the leave of God. Wherefore, strive ye for Its
purification in such a manner that no darkness shall remain, which is the corruption
within It, according to the limitation which ye find yourself to be appointed
