Mystical Symbolism of the Hebrew Letter Aleph

$\text{Yod} + \text{Vau} + \text{Yod} = 10 + 6 + 10$; they symbolically narrate a timeless story, told in forms and with allegories different from all sacred and initiatic character systems. In traditional symbolism, the number ten (the value of the letter Yod) corresponds to the image of the circle with the point at the center, the synthetic figure of the Sun (in Astrology) and of gold or the I-Will of Hermeticism. Therefore, substituting these two Yods with two dotted circles, as if they were two Suns, one above and one below, separated by a line of demarcation. This segment is the letter Vau, whose numerical value we have said to be six, represented geometrically by the six-pointed star, (the famous Star of David, emblem par excellence of the Beloved of God) indicating the Alchemical Wedding, the eternal marriage between the human and the divine. One must consider that the homeland from which Moses drew much of his wisdom was Egypt, homeland of solar doctrine, where the Pharaoh, King of the world, represented the incarnation of the divine principle on earth, or to put it differently, the terrestrial Sun was the reflection of the cosmic Sun and of the supra-cosmic or Spiritual one, of the Man-God, geometrically represented by the Star of David, that intermediate sign that unites the two Suns. This relationship between the divine and human is also confirmed and specified by the numerical sum of these three particles of the Aleph $10 + 6 + 10 = 26$; which equals the value of the Tetragrammaton: $\text{Yod-He-Vau-He}$ יהוה, the unpronounceable Name. The Ineffable Name, which represents the ultimate revelation, synthesizes all the mystery of the four, the progressive and revelatory procedure of divine presence in humanity, which is hidden in the ladder made of 72 esoteric steps, dreamed by Jacob, which leads the Righteous man before the Throne of the Most High, as is allegorically narrated in the ecstatic experiences of Merkabah literature. Also in the Sepher ha-Bahir, the Aleph is considered composed of four alphabetic elements instead of three, four interlaced Yods. The quadruple repetition of the Yod corresponds to the number 40 to the letter mem מ, the number of primordial waters, maim מים, upon which God impressed His image and once again relates the Denarius to the Quaternary. The primordial Unity expresses itself in space and time in four aspects, like the four symbolic animals of the Sphinx, which were taken up by the ecstatics of the Kabbalistic tradition, called the Living Ones and which we find again in the symbolic division of the Christian evangelists. Each of these aspects governs a Cycle of manifestation or Yuga of the Indian Tradition. This structure reveals the profound wisdom that lies hidden in the very structure of the pyramids of Giza, true centers of wisdom and treasure chests of profound initiatic knowledge. Especially, however, to those who know how to see beyond the unfathomable symbols of Alchemy and Hermeticism, of symbolic Geometry and magical pentacles, deep meditation on the Aleph shows the manner in which ordinary man can become Superman, or better yet Perfect Man, reintegrating that nature which was lost with the original fall from Eden. Thus the vertex of the pyramid or essential value of the letter Aleph is 1, the unity of consciousness or I-Will that every subject can consider the starting point of every work. The ternary value (111) of the complete development of the letter confirms the traditional tripartition of the I-consciousness in its three fundamental expressions called by Saint Paul: Pneuma, Psyche and Soma. The quaternary value of the decomposition of the Aleph ($10 \times 4 = \text{י-י-י-י}$) confirms the four bodies through which the fundamental ternary of personality is expressed: mental body, astral body, etheric body and physical body, or to put it at a psychological level: thoughts, feelings, impulses and actions. Finally, the hidden Ineffable Name enclosed in the trilitteral composition of Aleph ($\text{Yod} + \text{Vau} + \text{Yod} = 26 = \text{יהוה}$) demonstrates the necessity of a mediation so that the Spirit may express itself in matter and the presence of Christ may be realized in an individual, an experience that made Saint Paul say: "It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me." This external intervention is the only way to solve the classical problem of squaring the circle, so debated by geometers of the past and of which only initiatic mathematics knows the procedures.

Ideally it is the perfect Cosmos whose heart is Man, at the same time it is the perfect Man in whose heart is God. At the time of the construction of cathedrals, the structuring and the
