What if the only physics you knew was nature? And what if you understood the natural world and its processes through a set of symbols that didn’t just represent those processes, but actually formed and directed them? What would your relationship to the world be like? To the cosmos? To the creator? What if you communicated in a language that utilized those symbols?

For those ancient Hebrews who experienced this language of life, their alphabet was archetype, physical substance, and cosmic consciousness, spiraling out as the life-breath of God to embrace and sustain the universe.

Above, the twenty-seven letters (including five finals) of the Hebrew alphabet are arrayed on a spiral galaxy in an attempt to express the alphabet as a living, integral system that underlies and generates all things. The first nine letters (archetypal) are black; the second nine (existential) are red; the remaining nine letters (cosmic) are light blue. This organization of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet comes, most recently, from the work of Carlo Suares, a twentieth century Qabalist and mentor to quantum physicist Fred Wolf.
