There are seven veils,
and beneath each, a law of exchange:

Breath for Thought — the living wind.Light for Form — the casting of shape.Name for Power — the uttered sigil.Memory for Knowledge — the forgetting that teaches.Silence for Truth — the word unsaid.Shadow for Presence — the unseen companion.Self for Continuity — the death that continues.

Thus is the path of return: each veil rent, each echo redeemed.

When the seventh is lifted, there is no seer and no seen—
only the Principle, knowing itself through nothing.

Marginal Note

“If the seeker holds the symbol too tightly,
the meaning will turn to ash.
To read the script is to breathe it.”
