1111

The Aleph
The first of the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph, is designated with the distinction of being number one; the configuration of the Aleph is of particular interest—two dots divided by a diagonal line moving from the upper left to the lower right. These three components, two dots and a line, are themselves letters; the Aleph is composed of two Yuds and a Vav (Yud/10, Vav/6, Yud/10 =26) producing a number equivalent to the YHVH—God’s Name. The word Aleph has two meanings: 1) thousand; 2) titular head or general.
Creation of human life on planet earth was divided into six 1000 year segments to culminate, like the six days of the week, with a thousand years of rest-the seventh thousandth year. Each thousand year period has a distinct nature corresponding to one of the seven outer planets whose own nature is determined by the particular Sefira (the lower seven of the Ten Sefirot—the cabalistic building block of creation—are called Zera Anpin/Small Faces the seventh sefira Malchut/Royalty) with whom the six meld is woman.
Five hundred years ago the cabalists pried opened the Zohar-Book of Secret 1500 years after its composition eliciting the knowledge of creation; they explained how the world of Tohu/Dots, whose physical representation is the planet Mars, broke; the resultant sparks from the breaking fell into the world of Tikun/Fixing—the physical manifestation of the world of Tikun is the earth. Though the sparks fell down, the light of Tohu/Dots retracted back into the world of Akudim/Lines. When, through our efforts we repair the previous world of Tohu, then the light from the world of Akudim can enter into our world and there will be illumination—the line and the dots of a broken spark are represented by the form of the Aleph.
The world of Akudim came about from the mouth of Adom Kadmin/Primordial Man—the first revelation of the Ten Seferot. The beginning of Akudim/Lines is the light that comes from the mouth of Adom Kadmin and it is in them that the illuminated vessels are first formed. The illumination of the inner lights that fill combined with the outer lights that surround became unified in the mouth of Adom Kadmin. These four levels are revealed as four Alephim. The four ones are an indication that the world of Tohu has been completely fixed and the light from the world of Akudim is beginning enter into our world.
This revelation coincides with the closest approach from Mars in the last day of the month of the Lion, Av, in the year 5763/August 27, 2003; this event had been forewarned by the explosion of a neutron star that bombarded the earth on precisely that day five years earlier for five minutes knocking out satellites and other delicate instruments on the earth. The month of Av is known for its severity because both Temples in Jerusalem were sacked and burnt to the ground on precisely the same day, the Ninth of Av, five hundred years apart.
Immediately after Mar’s closest approach ever to the earth, the world went into the month of B’tula/Virgin to begin the transition from six thousand years of man into the concluding thousand years of woman known as the Thousand Years of Peace. The recent phenomenon of 1111 sightings is closely related to this new light.
