Main Reading for PRAYER OF MANY, today with ENGLISH ZOHAR READING, page 128.

ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson

Thus,
a) The shape of each letter and the elements of its structure indicate
all the properties and the general state of a spiritual object, Sefira, or
Partzuf, which this particular letter depicts;
b) The order of letters in a word indicates the connection between
spiritual objects, Sefirot, and their shared properties and actions.
Attainment of a word‘s spiritual meaning signifies an ascent to the
spiritual level of the object. When that happens, he who attains
it becomes this very word, assumes its name. Man’s name keeps
changing as he ascends the spiritual degrees; it is determined by
the degree he is on, as he assumes the name of that degree. It is
therefore said that everyone can become like Moshe, i.e., attain the
degree called “Moshe”;
c) The word itself in its “corporeal” reading, its “corporeal” meaning
indicates the spiritual root and its branch—consequence in our world;
d) A combination of words indicates an entire spiritual process, which,
as a rule, has a corresponding action (commandment) in our world.
Names change depending on the aspect that requires clarification:
a) By elements of Sefirot:

Keter – has none
Hochma – fire
Bina – water
ZA – air
Malchut – earth

b) By colors:
Keter – has none
Hochma – white – the basis of all colors
Bina – red- most prominent
ZA – green – most perfect
Malchut – black – cannot be change by any other color
