By the calligraphist's gesture, he teaches us that the order of this alphabet depends on a metaphysical ternary principle as many great traditions (the three Indian Goddess, trinity...) we find a pattern based on the figure three: creation - up keeping - destruction.
Thus the letter One (Aleph), full with its overwhelming unity, materialized, poured on the house, (Beth, two), place of love, household, protection. Once this gesture is finished, this momentum is destroyed by the expulsion of the Gimel (the camel). The Gimel/camel turns its back to Beth/house as Abraham left his house to the earth of Egypt, riding a camel. The camel enables us to leave the house to meet oneself.
To Franck Lalou, the specificity of the Hebraic thought, "is that it is a thought based on the movement and the passage, unlike other philosophies especially Hellenist, which are based on stability".
In the first part about calligraphy, Franck Lalou evoked the symbolic of the Yod, and reminded us that the subtlety of the Hebraic thought was to "re unite what it parts". In that it is both monist and dualist. Thus the Gimel/ camel shows the parting of the Beth/home, it is the necessary weaning to get to maturation. The camel leads us to Dalet/the door. We are invited to cross this door to evolve and to get to a higher level of our life, of our deep self: through rupture, there is re uniting.
The Dalet reminds us that our life is done with steps... and doors we cross. Isn't the symbolism of the door in many cult places ?
Answer by Franck Lalou in this presentation filmed at the Forum 104.
After the letters Aleph (One) and Beth (House), we continue our symbolic learning of the letters of the Hebraic alphabet with Gimel and Dalet. We have just passed the Unity and the Duality, we are now on our way in this great alphabet, almost as a maze, which symbolic force lets us thoughtful at each step.
