It was then when, without managing to explain the origin of the force that impelled him, he carried once more the index and middle fingers of his right hand to the brow, that is, to the center of the three intertwined spheres and murmured: "Per into"; to which a marvelously modulated voice answered: "AUM."
From the brow he let his hand fall to the solar plexus, that is, he traveled, in front, the same path that the spheres had traveled in back, where he stopped. He then pronounced the word "Malkuth", and the previous voice answered: "AMN" (amen in Spanish).
THE KABBALISTIC CROSS
At that precise instant, and while one of the spheres remained at the level of the heart, the six remaining ones moved slightly to finally occupy, in column of three, a position equidistant from the spinal column. Immediately afterward, Anteo carried his hand to the left side and added the following name: "in Gedulah"; then to the right, and concluded with the word: "in Geburah."
This last word was followed by a dazzling column of light that, while it dazzled him, saturated with life even the last cell of his body. Then was heard the harmonious and sonorous voice of Magister that pronounced these words: "SO THAT THE POWER THAT RISES IN YOU MAY BE EQUILIBRATED BY JUSTICE AND CHARITY, I DELIVER TO YOU AT THIS INSTANT THE ROD OF THREE KNOTS WHICH, UPON CUTTING THE COLUMN OF LIGHT, MUST DIVIDE IT INTO FOUR QUADRANTS THAT LOCALIZE THE FOUR LETTERS OF THE INEFFABLE NAME."
THE SACRED TRANSMISSION
Shaken by this voice that filled his heart with tenderness, Anteo opened his eyes—the windows of his soul, leaning out from which he had contemplated so many pains, so many sufferings... and now so much glory—and contemplated for an instant Magister: the living symbol, the dynamic expression, the visible and human manifestation of the Ancient of One Face; then he got up, and while the Master deposited the staff of three knots on the circle of gold, he threw himself into his arms, where he remained for a long time... a long time...!
And while Master and Disciple communed mystically, transmuting their souls through an unknown alchemy, over the rainbow stretched between the two columns and that bore the inscription: To Will, To Dare, To Know, To Keep Silent, that shadow of Shadow, transforming itself now into a round scepter finished by a square and a ball, traced this last name: KETHER. And a rose, a fragrant and beautiful rose emerged from the very depth of the mystery, materialized above this name, to let fall, one by one, its marvelous petals, in each of which shone proudly the liquid diamonds of dew.
THE COMPLETION OF THE WORK
And here ends the second dialogue of the DIALOGUES OF THE NINTH SPHERE, written for the solace of the reader and glory of the G.A.D.U. (Gran Arquitecto del Universo).
