<p>[QUOTE="Mike Margolis, post: 3179113, member: 88401"][ATTACH=full]818922[/ATTACH] Here are full links and some text from two ancient Hebrew books, the Sepher HaBahir and the Sepher Yetzirah that contain a little of the study of the Hebrew letters and how they were used by the ancients to carry inner meanings. These are ancient texts with sources attributed to both the great Tana/sages of the talmudic times such as Rabbi Akiva(wealthy Roman convert to Judaism) as well as the time of the Patriarchs like Abraham in oral tradition. The texts are very difficult to study without knowledge of the original Hebrew and a guide. The Yetzirah is basically a scientific HYPOTHESIS built on a 5-D understanding of the universe where "soul" called nephesh in Hebrew is as original as space and time. Likened to the "ether" of Plato.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://archive.org/stream/JudaismSeferHaBahirBahirEnglishTranslationPdfKabbalahTorahIsrael/%28judaism%29+Sefer+ha-bahir+%28Bahir%29+-+english+translation+pdf+-+kabbalah+torah+israel_djvu.txt" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/stream/JudaismSeferHaBahirBahirEnglishTranslationPdfKabbalahTorahIsrael/%28judaism%29+Sefer+ha-bahir+%28Bahir%29+-+english+translation+pdf+-+kabbalah+torah+israel_djvu.txt" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/stream/JudaismSeferHaBahirBahirEnglishTranslationPdfKabbalahTorahIsrael/(judaism) Sefer ha-bahir (Bahir) - english translation pdf - kabbalah torah israel_djvu.txt</a></p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/JudaismSeferHaBahirBahirEnglishTranslationPdfKabbalahTorahIsrael" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/JudaismSeferHaBahirBahirEnglishTranslationPdfKabbalahTorahIsrael" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/details/JudaismSeferHaBahirBahirEnglishTranslationPdfKabbalahTorahIsrael</a></p><p>here is the text translation of the Bahir dealing with the letter "Nun" and the 'MEM" as mentioned in the comment about the coin.</p><p>"</p><p>"The Bahir</p><p>The straight Nun is the one that is always at the end of a word.

The "remez" or hint level is that the WOLF is ROME and the LAMB is ISRAEL(some say Christianity in particular). The sage Rabbi Akiva fulfilled that ancient prophecy(already old when Akiva was alive) by being a Roman pagan convert to Judaism and one of our greatest sages.. And then of course all of ROME became Christian fulfilling the prophecy to whole other level. Our ancient coinage carries profound teachings about these things for those who care about other people, are respectful and willing to learn.</p><p>A most profound level of the intertwinings of these ancient peoples and their traditions is about what are called in the Hebrew, the "TEOMIM". These are twins that were worshipped throughout the world by many peoples. The coins tell their history and development and with the wisdom teachings of several traditions(they were called the "ASHWINS" in ancient India-the White Horsemen),we may find some amazing knwoledge only revealed in the underground caves of the Eleusian(see image of coin above from THASOS depicting the great mother and her twins) and Delphian mystery traditions as well as many other lineage traditions around the globe. They are just called the "TWIN GRANDSONS" of the Grandmother spider(Kybele-mother of the gods), weaver of the worlds, in the Pueblo and Navajo(DINE) peoples of America. The key to both Christian and Jewish prophetic traditions may be found when we study the Two White Horses mentioned in The Hebrew book of Zechariah as well as the terribly mistranslated and misunderstood Christian book of Revelation. BTW- the book of The Revelation of John has twenty two chapters that align with the twenty two Hebrew letters which may be applied to help understand the real meanings. Only two books in all of the bible that align with the hebrew letters- Kings I and Revelation. Have a wonderful new Sunday!( and I know some you folks believe all this religious or spiritual stuff is hocus pocus hooey. Ok- you are 4-Drs- which means you BELIEVE in the hypothesis of just time/space and we came about by chance. No science has validated this hypothesis by replicating the origin of life in a test tube.Your origin or "parent" is a puddle of alkaline muck hangin around about a billion or so years ago. As a 5-Dr I hold a different hypothesis and worldview- developed from my own personal experiences and life path. I choose that my origin is an eternal loving parent who figured it all out and made the whole place. For me that is where we go eventually. It is your choice- the puddle of muck or the hugging arms of our loved ones. And it probably doesn't matter what you believe as long as you bring goodness and beauty into the world. Or just keep it all as a great mystery. It is an awesome journey however you view the ship we are sailing.[ATTACH=full]818922[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]818933[/ATTACH]</p><p>And here is a beauty depicting the Holy Mother goddess anddownflowing of the WATER of ETERNAL LIFE:53KL6) THESSALY, Pherai.

" "The Bahir The straight Nun is the one that is always at the end of a word. This teaches us that the straight Nun includes both the bent one and the straight one. But the bent Nun is the Foundation. This teaches us that the straight Nun includes both male and female. 84. The open Mem. What is the open Mem ? It includes both male and female. What is the closed Mem ? It is made like a belly from above. But Rabbi Rahumai said that the belly is like the letter Teth. He said it is like a Teth on the inside, while I say that it is like a Mem on the outside. 85 What is a Mem [COLOR=#ff0000]Do not read Mem, but Mayim (water)[/COLOR]. Just l ike water is wet, so is the belly always wet. Why does the open Mem include both male and female, while the closed Mem is male? This teaches us that the Mem is primarily male. The opening was then added to it for the sake of the female. Just like the male cannot give birth, so the closed Mem cannot give birth. And just like the female has an opening with which to give birth, so can the open Mem give birth. The Mem is therefore open and closed. 86. [COLOR=#ff0000]Why should the Mem have two forms, open and closed? Because we said: Do not read Mem, but Mayim (Water)."[/COLOR] and the Sepher Yetzirah link:[url]http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/yetzirah.htm[/url] The tradition says that the wisdom in this book goes back to the time of Abraham, the first Jew. Here is a small part of the section on the letter "MEM" from the yetzirah:" 3. The Three Mothers in the world are Aleph, Mem and Shin: the heavens (36) were produced (37) from Fire; the earth from the Water; and the Air from the Spirit is as a reconciler between the Fire and the Water. 4. The Three Mothers, Aleph, Mem and Shin, Fire, Water and Air, are shown in the Year: from the fire came heat, from the waters came cold, and from the air was produced the temperate state, again a mediator between them.

These Three Mothers did He produce and design, and combined them; and He sealed them as the three mothers in the Universe, in the Year and in Man--both male and female.
