**3. Then the word of Adonai came unto me by the mouth of the Magister mine, saying: O heart that art girt about with the coils of the old serpent, lift up thyself unto the mountain of initiation!
4. But I remembered. Yea, Than, yea, Theli, yea, Lilith! these three were about me from of old. For they are one.

I think it's important to remember in all of this that there are different aspects of the psyche in conversation with each other and having their individual voices. With this verse, we can see who the "I" is that has been speaking thus far (in this chapter): It is the Ruach ("the scribe" throughout the book), the Vav aspect of the psyche. Here the word of Chiah (Yod, Adonai) passed to Ruach via the mouth (think "opening" BTW) of Neshamah ("the Magister") and - whatever their intent - what it strikes in the Ruach is reactive reminiscence of how it has perceived its relationship with Nefesh.
Pretty much, everything is in this one verse!
- But I remembered. Yea, Than, yea, Theli, yea, Lilith! these three were about me from of old. For they are one.
