Kaf

Kaf (20) Bayt transforms into Kaf whenever an idea turns into something organically tangible. As Bayt it remains seed-like, only a beginning of a form of limitation – a separation of one thing from another. As Kaf, the creative vision becomes something literal that we can hold in our hand or reach out and touch. Kaf in Hebrew means hollow of the hand.

Bayt (2) is the archetype of all containers (physical and psychological), the support without which nothing is. It is separation, duality, and thought. It is the primary act of consciousness recognizing itself.

Introduction

Welcome to our website. To a large degree it’s a rewrite of a chapter in a work-book I'm authoring, "Appreciative Sustainability: A Principled Approach". One section of the book, 'Archetypes of Sustainability', leads us to the understanding that there is much to be learned from Shamanic wisdom, and much of their wisdom is directly attributable to their symbolic languages and oral traditions.

If you are familiar with the story "The Binding of Isaac," you may want go directly there and then read the rest of the text; otherwise, you will probably want to read the text first.

It is a pleasure to be collaborating with my colleague Ken Roffmann who introduced me to Hebrew as a symbolic language.
