Head of all Heads (from Chaldean Reisha' dechol Reisha')

Qabbalistic term also referred to as the Ancient of Ancients (`Attiqa' De`Attiqin), the Concealed of the Concealed, or the Hid of the Hid.

"In that Atteekah (`Attiqa') nothing is revealed except the Head alone, because it is the Head of all Heads . . . The Wisdom above, which is the Head, is hidden in it, the Brain which is tranquil and quiet, and none knows it but Itself. . . . And this Hidden Wisdom . . . the Concealed of the Concealed, the Head of all Heads, a Head which is not a Head, nor does any one know, nor is it ever known, what is in that Head which Wisdom and Reason cannot comprehend" (Zohar iii 288a).

It corresponds to Brahman-pradhana, behind and within and above which is the ever-incomprehensible, parabrahman.
