ALEPH — ONENESS
A
Greatness – Mastery
AlePh stands for ALL, ALooF and an ALP – a high point, a high sacred mountain.
It is ALL-ONE-Wisdom Conscious-ness. PheLA (ALePh
in
reverse) is a miracle and a mystery. ALePh represents the Whole, the General,
the Great and Inclusive Wisdom of the Transcendent and the Immanent, together.
ALePh, of all the letters, is the only one that is both the Unitary "seed"
of Singular Consciousness and the Whole of Consciousness – Consciousness
is always Singular and Whole. (What meaning is there to "half"
of a thought?) Aleph, as the Singular, is the sun-seed-center (The Primal
Point), the Source; ALePh, as the Whole, is the Idealized Fruit – the APPLe
– and its fruition. ALePh represents the strongest, most coherent, and
most encompassing Archetype; that is why ALePh means Ox (or Bull,
the astrological symbol of the Taurean age when the alphabet was stabilized.)
ALePh is the Transcendent and exquisitely Singular "Primal Point"
at the center of Continuous Creation. It is the tip of the Great Flame,
the Seed, the Tao, the dew-drop ( the Manna – from Pirke Avoth’s description of the 10-Things Created on
the Eve of the First Sabbath) and the "Grain that no granary comprehends"
(from Rumi’s poetic description of the Mevlevi Sufi Round Dance. For additional
Sufi imagery, see the poster, The
Geometry of Rumi's Description of the Mevlevi Sufi Round Dance, in
our section on Arabic, Moslem, and Sufi Material.)
