I have learned, when I studied Kabbalah in the ancient city of Tsfat, Israel, that every single letter of the Aleph Beit (Alpha bet) is made up of just 2 letters "Yud" and "Vav", which are letters of G-d's name in the tetragramaton. If you look at the aleph, for example, it is 2 Yuds holding up a diagonal Vav. and so on. These 2 letters are the foundation of all the letters and since the world was created by Divine utterances, they are the foundation of all of creation. Letter Yud represents the contracted essence of G-d, while the letter Vav extends in a flow of information energy from the G-dly "above" to the earthly "below." Note that above and below are only 2 dimentional ideas of a much more complex dicotomy between the spiritual and the physical. Thats a very interesting idea.

This is true. In fact, the symbol Aleph in all semitic scripts is derived - originally via proto-Sinaic - from the Egyptian heiroglyoph for ox. And whether it is Egyptian or Chienese, an ox is an ox. I use Alif as my online nickname. Isn't it lovely? “The pictogram for aleph looks very much like the ancient Chinese pictogram for ox.”
