In the words "I delight to do thy will, O my God"[9], the Hebrew ratson signifies the notion of a vibratory movement which ruptures and stratifies in its propagation a rhythmic and procreative sacrifice[10] of human breath to the Will of God: a formal power which is simultaneously prescriptive, inscriptive, legistlative and executive.[11] "The Will and power of God are God Himself"[12]; the power to act is inherent in the will: "to will it [is] to do it".[13] Consequently, and since Will and Essence are identical in the Supreme, "as He willed to be so He is"; His Wilful Essence being a self-determined and autonomous authority and authorship. "God is cause of Himself; for Himself and of Himself He is what He is, the first self, transcendentally The Self".[14] At once "self-tending" and "self-related", "He who cannot be but wholly self-poised" is "everywhere and yet nowhere"[15]; beyond time, when and where "all stands ever realised".[16]
