Mystical-Mathematical Symbolism of Angelic Hierarchy and Hebrew Letters
that collectively identifies the entire Angelic Choir. Finally, the multiplication $3 \times 4 = 12$ represents the 12 types of Glorified Humanity of the Celestial Jerusalem. The 12 represents the perfect and complete development of Humanity symbolically represented by the 12 Apostles, by the 12 Tribes of Israel which find a parallel with the 12 Gates of the Celestial Jerusalem of the Apocalypse and with the 12 Angels who preside over those Gates. Summarizing, we have that through the interaction between the Ternary and the Quaternary we can classify and schematize the entirety of the human-angelic celestial spiritual world given that $7 + 12 + 81 = 100$ identifies the plenitude to which, however, must be added the Head of the Hierarchy, the High Priest who is the Christ-Word, thus obtaining $1 + 100 = 101$, which by gematria corresponds to the name of Michael, מיכאל. In this context Michael does not only identify an Archangel, the Zohar interpreting Isaiah identifies in Michael the entire Firmament of Stars, which is his very body. In the archaic Roman canon he is called "the holy standard bearer" or also "the Holy Angel," a collective singular to indicate all the Holy Angels, and we believe it should be understood in this sense: the ensemble of the entire Human-Angelic Kingdom synthesized in a name, Michael, and which mathematically is obtained through $1 + 7 + 12 + 81 = 101$, where there is one Head of the Ekklesia, Seven Great Spirits above the Earth, 12 Tribes of regenerated humanity and an angelic Scale composed of 72 Angels divided into 9 Hierarchies with 9 Choir Masters. **The mystical-mathematical symbolism of the letter Aleph (Leo vir)** Whoever ventures on a path of inner perfection and conquest of Oneself, of an Immortal I, endowed with all the characteristics proper to the Spirit, conquering already in life the stages of the Great Work, cannot escape from the study of the Hebrew language and from the wise employment of Words of power or divine Names, employed and well known by those who practice High Magic and Theurgy. Every divine Name, through all its network of analogical correspondences that are reflected from plane to plane, we can consider as a true key, capable of awakening in us specific qualities corresponding and adhering to the uncreated divine qualities, which the Kabbalistic tradition has called Sephiroth. To face the path of Kabbalistic ascesis and make operative the employment of these Names in the manner of the Spanish mystic Abraham Abulafia, it is necessary to concentrate all thought, all impulse and all forces to adhere with all our I to the Idea to which such Names are connected, thus becoming holders of its power and making ourselves Masters of the Name (Baal Shem). To the first of the divine qualities, also called the Supreme Crown (Kether Elion), corresponds the supreme expression of divinity, His absolute Will, expression of the Renovating Creative Power, which reveals itself from its hidden state and makes itself known precisely through this sephirah. The Prophets and Kabbalists of the past have rendered the mystical experience that connects to this Divine Energy through the Name of God Ehieh אהוה, that is "I Am," expression that indicates God's identity in himself and the taking of consciousness in a single point, consequence of the withdrawal from Self to Self of the Supreme Being. Such name is, according to Kabbalistic tradition, in contraposition with Yhwh יהוה, the Ineffable Name, translatable as "He is," expression of the Absolute that looks from Self to Self and knows himself. In individual consciousness, meditating and making alive the reality of this Name means awakening one's consciousness as a center of immortal will, in unison with the Will itself of the Absolute. Meditation on divine Names is first of all meditation on the individual letters of which they are composed, to then be led to the vision of the Truth concealed beyond the word itself, like a constellation of symbols that leads to a single transcendent truth. It is therefore not possible to approach the understanding of a Word of Power if one does not study and analyze its individual elements, particularly the first character, which informs and gives expression to the entire term. For this reason it can therefore be useful to analyze the symbolism of the first letter of the Name Ehieh, which is also the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, therefore first among the expressions of the divine Word in creation. The letter Aleph א is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet to which is attributed the numerical value of 1, unity and therefore principle of all other numbers. Aleph אלף moreover is a noun that means ox, bull and likewise of the Hebrew word Aleph (אלף,) which is written in the same way and means thousand understood as myriads, number that indicates the innumerable multiplicity of
