A letter leads the way to intention, H, heaven, H, Hell
He said to me ‘who are the people of Hell?’,
I said ‘the people of the outer letters
He said to me ‘who are the people of Heaven? I said ‘the people of the inner letters
He said what is the outer letter? I said ‘wisdom that does not lead to work
He said what is the inner letter? I said ‘wisdom that leads to truth
