<em>Adam Kadmon</em>, the primordial being, had 613 arms, and each arm had 600,000 roots, and each root was a great soul, and each great soul was comprised of 600,000 lesser souls.  That's 367,800,000 great souls and 220,680,000,000,000 souls from the primordial being (and there are 613 laws in the Torah, and 600,000 Jews fled Egypt with their children).

<em>At the beginning, God said "Let there be light."</em> (and the light flowed through the Tree of Life, but the latter seven Sephira were wrapped in shells, Qliphoth, which were shattered and acted as negatives of the Sephira they once encased)
<em>God crushed that light to atoms.</em> (and when the Qliphoth shattered, Adam Kadmon was split up, and each of the 613 arms belonged to a an organ and had a temperament)
<em>Millions of sparks are hidden in the world,</em> (and when the sparks of souls were divided, the temperaments of their corresponding organs dominated them but they were corrupted with fouler temperaments)
<em>but not all of us perceive them.</em>  (and there is a mark on your forehead that marks your temperament and incorporating that in your life to work with it properly is your life's work)
<em>The self-glorious who walk arrogantly upright will never perceive one, but the meek, modest, eyes down-cast, he sees it.</em> (one must be conscious of the beauty of their pure soul, and of the purity of the souls of those around them)

This stuff's amazing - I love old systems @.@  I'll flesh it for <lj comm="manifesto_proj"> in Manifesto at some point.</lj>
