Chapter 1, Verse 10


10. Two: Breath from Breath. With it He engraved and carved 22 foundation letters; three mothers, seven doubles, and twelve elementals. And one Breath is from them.

"Breath from Breath" reiterates the illusory nature of the world. In the final analysis there is only the oneness of God. The world appears to be comprised of multiplicity, but the more we look for that hard separation between things, the fuzzier the boundary becomes. It's like trying to separate water from water in the ocean. Nevertheless, from the standpoint of the illusion, complexity ultimately emerges from combinations of fundamental particles. And yet, there is still only one breath.
