When Simone de Beauvoir asserted "One is not born a woman, but becomes one" didn't she paraphrased, in others circumstances, the Hebraic letter Qof (the needle cat", or "the narrow tunnel from where no return is possible") which recalls that "one doesn't become a man, but becomes one" ? A difficult renunciation to the superficiality temptation, to eventualities of each time which suggests to embrace, with its bunch of short satisfactions but with this tragic and poisoning feeling "that one doesn't live for nothing"...
Isn't the antidote in the latest letter, as often in the Hebraic alphabet which is placed in a circle logic and not linear, in Tsadi, the harpoon, which urges us to consider with the same compassion our dark side AND our light side ?
 
To Franck Lalou "the uniqueness of a man (or a woman) is based on the acceptation of these two points, on the uniqueness of these two antagonist entities which are Hokmah and Binah : the all-encompassing intelligence and the discursive, dichotomous intelligence.
 
To accept humility, or even humiliation, in its first meaning: a return to the earth (Humus=earth) isn't it a way of reintegration in what theosophists call a return to the primordial Adam (Adama=earth) ?
Answer by our Kabbalist, calligrapher master, (and besides, extraordinary Man! Ed.) in this sixth and last part about the symbolism of the Hebraic letters.
