ON THE RIGHT - Outside: Wheel of Karma; The Cycles of Life and Cosmos
The meanings of the names of the letters come from an understanding of the alphabet as forming three "embryological cycles. These match the work of mathematical philosopher Arthur M. Young. The idea is that B'reshit 1:11 tells us to expect "a fruit tree yielding fruit whose seed is in itself." This is an ouroboros. The ouroboros cycles from seed to tree to fruit, to fruit with new seed - and the cycle starts over.
This produces a chart of functional or operational meanings for the twenty-seven letters.
ON THE LEFT - Inside: Consciousness; Free Will, inFORMation, Evolution
The shape of the letters comes from fashioning a model hand that embodies:
- The proclamation of the Sh'ma: Hashem-Elokim = Echad (One)
- The Golden Rule: As above, So Below
- Ps. 84:12 "Hashem - Elokim is a sun and a shield"
These three lead to the inverted-T diagram, with the vertical line representing the One, the Transcendent, and Hashem; and the horizontal line representing the All, the Immanent, and Elokim.
