Lamed

The letter ל Lamed is the staff of Moses, the rod of Aaron, which represent the creative fire of the letter Shin “raised upon a pole” as a brazen serpent, like Moses did. This creative fire, raised up the spinal column “healed the Israelites” (see Numbers 21). More specifically, it is the qenim (reed, cane) of the previous verse, but developed, enflamed. In the East, this is called kundalini. In the book of Acts, it is represented by the fire that alights on the heads of the apostles (after rising up their spinal columns).

Mother Letters

The three mother letters, Aleph, Shin and Mem are related with the three main symbols: air, fire and water. So, they are called the three mother letters, and this is because only the feminine aspect has the power to give birth. All of us come from the womb of a woman. That is why they are called the three mother letters. These three mother letters are inside our own particular Monad, Spirit, which is in heaven.

Nun

The letter Nun נ is life in movement, the “fish” or living power of sexuality. As already mentioned, the fish resides in our sexual waters. By harnessing that force, we can achieve the “second birth.” Jesus spoke often of the “living water.”
