Kinda...In the enlightened words of one of my favorite mystics, Elizabeth Haich writes of the Magician who's posture mirrors the letter aleph:
This card with the letter
aleph corresponds to the first name of God as He named himself when Moses asked: "If I come to the people of Israel...and they ask me, "What is his name?" what shall I say to them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." (Exodus 2: 13-14)
In the Cabbala this card corresponds to the first choirs of angels which are called
Seraphim. Until the time when the prophet Isaiah SERAPH signified a sacred serpent with three pairs of wings. Isaiah then took over this name for the angels. Since that time
Seraph has been the name of the angelic being with three pairs of wings. SEFIROTH is a whole host of such angels. (Birds of a feather flock together, angels gang up too.) In the Cabbala there are ten such creative
Sephiroth.
Sefirah literally means EMANATION (radiation). In modern, scientific terminology the
sefiroth would be known as 'emanating energy fields'. Each
sefirah is both a number and a letter and has it's corresponding attribute. That of the first
sefirah is
Kether Elyon, the "supreme crown" which stands for the self-awareness of man. Just as a person is ruler of his country by virtue of a crown on his head, so consciousness of the Self gives him the power to become ruler over all the powers of the UNIVERSE. (carefuuuuull here) His self-awareness is the crown of his being.
In the Hebrew alphabet three letters are called 'mothers'. These three mothers are : ALEPH, MEM and SHIN. (Tears for Fears talks about the mystical nature of these in
this song.) All three mean a birth and for that reason are known as 'mother'.
Aleph is the first birth, the birth of the divine child, the SELF-AWARENESS. Man's purified soul gave birth to the divine child, the first flickering of self-awareness. Man is still like a child, only beginning to look about himself and not yet able to use his divine attributes, his God-given talents. (This is the late 70s until about now I'm guessing to put this in perspective. Seeing his ghost but not knowing what to do with it other than to keep singing to it.) In the course of time his activity will develop and only then will he become an adult. The letter
aleph is thus given birth to the first awakening of consciousness in man.
The number 1 and the letter ALEPH are both the
beginning of a development. Just as the divine number 1 gives rise to all subsequent numbers
ad infinitum, so the letter ALEPH marks the beginning of the alphabet. Just as the bud is the beginning which leads to the full blossom, so the present consciousness of man with the magic instruments at its disposal is the beginning of the great, long and uneven path to the supreme goal, to perfect, divine ALL-CONSCIOUSNESS.
