“In any case, I can already represent to myself very well the sacred Law of Triamazikamno with the particularities of all three of its independent sacred Forces, and have cognized it for my own essence quite satisfactorily, and in regard to the sacred Law of Heptaparaparshinokh, although certain of its details, unimportant in my opinion, are still not entirely clear to my (subjective) Reason, I hope that with a little more active pondering I shall understand them as well.
“However, while trying to assimilate these sacred Laws thoroughly, I clearly sensed that they are very complicated and that it is difficult to have a ‘complete’ understanding of them. And suddenly a question arose in me which continues to perplex and interest me how is it possible that the three-brained beings who arise and exist on the planet Earth could understand these sacred cosmic Laws, or could even discern them among the surrounding cosmic results?

“Such exceptions, especially during recent centuries, are very rare there, yet, I repeat, they do occur.
