"The heart of the Hebraic thought, and of the symbolism of its alphabet, is the dynamic created by the succession of the unification and the parting" repeats Frank Lalou. After Aleph and Beth, Gimel and Dalet, Frank Lalou talks about the symbolism of the fifth, sixth, and seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The Hé (5) comes from an Egyptian hieroglyph, and represents the breath, the prayer in motion, "each time I am in life, in motion, I am praying" asserts Frank Lalou. This motion which precedes the door (Dalet) is inherent to the mystery of embodiment according to the Hebraic thought: the praying man is "doing" (individuation?) and not "imitating some model".
The Vav (6) and the Zayin(7) represent the unification and the parting, the cosmos, peace and war. Literally, in Hebrew: "the hook" and "the sword".
 
The Vav and the Zayin can seem opposite when read literally, but actually they are really close: studying their calligraphy, we can see that a iota differs. Is it the same iota which a man different from a mad man, from a war and a situation of peace ?
 
It's up to you to discover the wealth of this alphabet in this new part which lasts 24 minutes with our master in calligraphy and in Kabbalah.
