Speech as Derived from the Atom

The derivation of letters as described in the Zohar-Book of Secret resembles the workings of theoretical physics called quantum mechanics dealing with the anomaly of the atom. The atom appears to be composed of a large heavy nucleus being circled by an electron: a balloon of little weight racing at the speed of light. Blurred by speed the intricate dance of the electron is all but lost to the eye of the scientist who concludes that the pulsing interaction between the proton and the electron are induced by the triangular quark whose three shifting points regulate the atom.

The cabalist looking through the prism of the Zohar-Book of Secret which speaks in terms of letters giving birth sees the fluidity of creation as the Creator is constantly speaking creation into being. Previous to creation the light was hard, called Tzina D’Kardinesa/Candelabra in Aramaic this primordial light was likened more to the gold of the vessels than the ephemeral light it held. Creation is an infinitesimal speck of space within the golden light transfused with finite letters of infinite combinations.

According to the Zohar-Book of Secret the first letter into creation was the Aleph/1 made from two dots and a line with the inner gematria of 26 the value of God’s Name YHVH; from these three parts were born the Lamed/30 which “floated in the air” that separates it from the Aleph and together made the Name Ail/Kindness. From kindness was born severity in the form of Yom/Sea and when put together with Ail made Elohim—the Name of God used throughout the Six Days of Creation.

The letters are described as circling then giving birth to new forms until all 22 letters are exposed. The continuing manufacturing of letters from within the atom is the basis to the fluctuation of the atom which infers being. In the same way in which speech emanates from the body without diminishing one’s life force (we can speak without end) so too does God replenish creation moment by moment through GodSpeak. The dance of what the scientist term the electron is meticulously mapped in the Zohar-Book of Secret.

Since the atom is full of letters it is no wonder that all creation speaks through vibratory nuances into the buzz of creation; everything which vibrates is part of creation, but truly only the human being speaks. The human being is made from the composites of earth: rock hard bone covered by flesh sprouting hair like the crust of the earth sprouts trees and with fluid oceans running through the veins filled with the fire of life. Within the body is housed the soul which is also full of letters and words. When the soul uses up all the letters allotted for a lifetime the body dies and the soul returns to heaven where all the infinite combinations of light are displayed with meticulous exactness.  

Once filtered through the free will of human existence, the words we utter into creation have the potential to change everything.
