Gizlilik Kitabı: Kadim Olan'ın Sakalı

The beard was not mentioned, because this is the ornament of all. From the ears it proceeds by the circumference of the opening: a white thread ascends and descends. It is distributed into thirteen for ornament. Concerning this ornament it is written: No man passed through it; nor did a human inhabit there. Thirteen springs of fountains are distributed: four are joined separately, but nine water the body. Before the gate of the ears the ornament begins to be formed. It descends in beauty to the beginning of the lips; from this beginning to that beginning. There exists a path, which exits under the two holes of the nostrils, so that sin may be able to pass: as it is written, And his glory is to pass over iniquity. Under the lips the hair circles to the other beginning. The influence of all depends down to the heart: in it hang the superior and the inferior. The smaller ones cover the throat of the ornament: the larger are reduced into the most perfect proportion. The lips are empty on every side. Blessed is he who becomes a participant in those kisses. All things in this influence exist, and are hidden.
