A Hebrew Alphabet Guide for Self Exploration
If you wish you had a simple tool for self reflection, perhaps this ebook will help.
Kabbalah and Tarot use the Hebrew alphabet to help us more clearly see our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, dreams and disappointments. These ancient symbols have served many as messengers, teachers, and comforters lighting up the patient wisdom available in all of us.
The Tarot deck is associated with the kabbalistic Tree of Life. The 22 letters in this ebook are the foundation for the Major Arcana and can be used to reflect on one’s thoughts, speech and actions. The Minor Arcana is related to the Kabbalah as well but is not a part of this ebook.
I personally feel the letter shapes and the flow of Hebrew prayers are beautiful and calming; so I found myself drawn into an investigation of the alef bet and its mystical roots.
To create Alphabet of Being I surveyed the kabbalistic underpinning of the Hebrew alphabet then synthesized the essence with pictures and themes. This ebook includes just the drawings and broad theme of each letter providing a general upbeat focus for contemplation with few words.
I also created a longer ebook version – Alphabet & Feelings – which expands on the themes and adds snippets of poetry that touch on emotions from fear and grief to trust and joy.
Use this alphabet as simplified Tarot
Focus on some aspect of your life, then tap or click a hot-linked question mark at the beginning of each ebook to go to a random page. Consider how the image and concept might help you see yourself and your life in new ways, how your random selection might point you in a direction that shines light on whatever you’ve chosen to ponder.
Some concepts inside include:
- being dependable and self giving
- remembering to love yourself and that you are loved
- working to make your relationships easier
- thinking about what you create
- being a change agent
- serving others
- offering a heartfelt connection
The Hebrew alphabet has guided those who study the Kabbalah in these realms for hundreds of years. This ebook is a simple reminder that when you consciously focus on loving and respecting yourself, others and what you create, you make the world a better place for all.
