lyrics
Here be the map of all being-things, topologically:
First, nothingness - empty set, none - the seed which births the tree;
Secondly, oneness - the not-nothingness - the all that all may be;
Now with oneness defined, partions arise - with-in and -out bounds, we see.
These two states, while disparate, unite to oneness be,
Thus each two things in likeness are distant by degrees,
With such a distance thus defined, systems arise - from oneness free,
Instead defined by different ones, which act in harmony.
The Sephirot are metaphysical aggregates -
Regions of concept, not just time and space -
So if each is a positive meta-attribute,
And being that being is needed for truth,
For each "One" exists the "not-One": a shell,
Which by its boundary does dwell.
Thus we conclude it that-
Any "One" which may so be,
Is comprised of parts; These three
Are that beyond and that within,
And that betwixt, which splits in twain.
Sephirot are those which are,
The inner of those two split parts;
The outer husks are the Qlippoth,
Which are those things which "One" is not.
Hewn from rough, our work begun:
The premise that "the All is One",
And so all Being art not just,
A sum of two parts, fighting thus.
For each "One" there is "not-One" -
The sum of things which are not so.
At points of meeting boundaries form,
So "not-One" is "One" [one] of the All.
Consider now a formless void:
A set; of things, wholly devoid.
Place in it a sculptured stone,
This object being there alone.
All that exists is a single shape:
The bounds that divide regions of space.
But for both inner and outer parts,
That single shape is all they are.
