Aleph, the symbol of infinite unity, is actually composed of three letters, a Vav and two Yods. One hand points out, and one points in; this is also the "Coagula/Solve" symbol meaning "coagulate (or join) - and "dissolve." The "coagulation" is a drawing-in of energy. The "solve" is the use of the energy to dissolve, or cut like a laser.This is where the infinitely large meets the infinitely small; it is "center everywhere, circumference nowhere -" we are the center of the universe, because it is infinite. And we are also an insignificant speck, a bubble on the cosmic oceans. This is where the transcendant and immanent meet, the Yin and Yang, the hidden essence, and the obvious essence. The Aleph calls us to feel deeply within, and to feel deeply without, and to see the radiance of life force in both places.
Aleph means several things, "OX" being only one of them. The root "AL" symbolizes power and extensive movement. The ideas which it develops are those of elevation, force, power, extent. Jews and Muslims have drawn from it the name of the deity, as in Allah, Elohim or El Shaddai. Combined with the "Pe or Fe" root (meaning mouth), "Aleph" can be seen to refer to the "mouth" of The Eternal One. Indeed, as the first holy utterance, Aleph refers to the source of life.
