(22) The Sun is the Goddess in the third Principle; in the created World (understand, in the material Virtue) it went forth out of the Darkness in the Anguish of the Will, in the Way and Manner of the eternal Birth. For when God set the Fiat in the Darkness, then the Darkness received the Will of God, and was impregnated P for the Birth. The Will causes the [sour] Harshness, the Harshness causes the Attracting, and the Stirring of the Attracting to Mobility causes the Bitterness, which is the Woe, and the Woe causes the Anguish, and the Anguish causes the Moving, Breaking, and Rising up. Now the sour Harshness cannot endure the Stirring, and therefore attracts the harder to itself; and the Bitterness or the Attracting will not endure to be stayed, but breaks and stings so very hard in the Attracting, that it stirs up the Heat, wherein the Flash springs up, and the dark [Sourness or] Harshness is affrighted by the Flash, and in the Shriek the Fire kindles, and in the Fire the Light. Now there would be no Light if the Shriek in the Hardness had not been, but there would have remained nothing but Fire; yet the Shriek in the Harshness of the Fire kills the hard Harshness, so that it sinks down as it were to the Ground, and becomes as it were dead and soft; and when the Flash perceives itself in the Harshness, then it is affrighted much more, because it finds the Mother so very mild, and half dead in Weakness; and so in this Shriek its fiery Property becomes white, soft, and mild, and it is the Kindling of the Light, wherein the Fire is changed into a white Clarity, [Glance, Luster, or Brightness.]

(44) And when the Light of the Sun appeared in the fierce [Sourness or] Harshness, then the Harshness became thin and a sweet, even Water, and the Fierceness in the Fire-flash was extinguished by the Water, so that the Anger stood still, yet the Will could not rest, but went forth in the Mother, out of the Water, and moved itself, which is the Air: And that which the fierce Sourness had attracted to it, that was thrust out of the Element, in the Water, as you see that the Earth swims in the Water.

(9) From the heart of Vajra-Sattva, the white light-path of the Mirror-like Wisdom, white and transparent, glorious and dazzling, glorious and terrifying, made more glorious with orbs surrounded by smaller orbs of transparent and radiant light upon it, each like an inverted mirror, will come to shine.

(36) But when the Light of the Sun kindled itself, then the next Circle or Orb above the Sun stood in the Fire-crack, for the Sun or the Light was shining in the Water, and the Bitterness ascended also in the Fire-crack out of the Water. But the Light made very great Haste after it, and laid hold on the Fire-crack, and there it remained standing as a Captive, and became corporeal.

(78) But when the Sun was kindled, then the horrible Fire-crack went forth upwards from the Place of the Sun, distant from the Place of the Sun, as a horrible tempestuous Flash, and in its corporeal Being took along with it the Fierceness of the Fire, whereby the Water became very bitter, and the Water is the Kernel or Stock of the Crack.

(32) But seeing the Place of the Sun, that is, the SUN itself, contained all Qualities according to the Right of the Deity, as also what all other Places had, thereupon instantly in the first Kindling, all the Qualities went upwards and downwards, and generated themselves according to the eternal, unbeginning, infinite Law and Right.

(78) In the circumference of the sun there are seven portions of light which are added to it more than to the moon, and in definite measures it is s transferred till the seventh portion of the sun is exhausted.

(5) The aggregate of thy principle of consciousness, being in it's pure form — which is the Mirror-like Wisdom — will shine as a bright, radiant white light, from the heart of Vajra-Sattva, the Father-Mother, with such dazzling brilliancy and transparency that thou wilt scarcely be able to look at it, [and] will strike against thee. And a dull, smoke-coloured light from Hell will shine alongside the light of the Mirror-like Wisdom and will [also] strike against thee.

(73) And there goes forth from all the Stars the Power which is in every Star into the Deep: And the Power, Heat, and Shining of the Sun, goes likewise into the Deep. And

(65) The Sun stands in the Center or Midst of the Deep, and is the Light or Heart which proceeded out of all Stars: For when the Salitter and Mercurius, before the Creation of the World, in the Kingdom of Lucifer, became thin or dim, and had qualified one with the other, then God extracted the Heart out of all the Powers, and made the Sun thereof. And

(135) The Light went forth from the innermost Birth or Geniture, and kindled itself in the outermost. * It gave again to the outermost a natural peculiar Light of its own. [Note.]

(72) And first there goes forth the great luminary, named the Sun, and his circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and he is quite filled with illuminating and heating fire.

(4) Along with it, there will also shine a dull white light from the devas, which will strike against thee in thy front.

(39) But as soon as the Light kindled itself in the Heat, so instantly was that hot Place caught in the Light, and then the Body of the Sun could grow no bigger. For the Light mitigated the Heat, and so the Body of the Sun remained there flowing in the Midst or Center as a Heart, for the Light is the Heart of Nature, not the Heat. But here thou must observe exactly,

(9) On that path of radiance there will come to shine glorious orbs of lights, blue in colour, emitting rays, the Dharma-Dhatu Wisdom [itself], each appearing like an inverted turquoise cup, surrounded by similar orbs, smaller in size, more glorious with five yet smaller [satellite] orbs dotted round about with five starry spots of light of the same nature, leaving neither the centre nor the borders [of the blue light-path] unglorified by the orbs and the smaller [satellite] orbs.

(31) And when the Light rises up out of the sweet Fountain-water in the Heat, in the astringent and bitter Quality, then the bitter and astringent Quality tastes the Light and sweet Water, and the bitter Quality catches the Taste of the sweet Water, and in the sweet Water is the Light, but only of a Sky-colour, or Azure, which is blue.

(4) On it, they say, is white and blue And yellow and green and red. That was the path by Brahma found; By it goes the knower of Brahma, the doer of right (punya-kri), and every shining one. jo. Into blind darkness enter they That worship ignorance; Into darkness greater than that, as it were, they That delight in knowledge.

(15) That light which residing in the sun illumines the whole world, that which is in the moon and in the fire, that light do thou know to be Mine.

(1) Likewise it carried the Eye across. When that was freed from death, it became the sun. That sun, when it has crossed beyond death, glows.

(75) And there rose up the shining Light in the Heat, in the Water, or Oiliness of the Water, and the Heart of the Water kindled itself, and this was done in the Twinkling of an Eye.
