And He created His world with three books: with writing, with number, and with story. - Sefer Yetzirah 1:1
Cosmogony & Cosmology: Origin, Nature & Structure of Reality
I. Book of FormationBook I lays the cosmogonic and cosmological foundation of the Royal Art: the origin of being, the architecture of the worlds, and the formation of reality through writing, number, and story. It is the Book in which the Work receives its map, its grammar, and its deep structure. The Tree, the Letter, the Number, the Name, and the unfolding of the One into the Many.
