Understand the idea

In the Aleph series, the silent breath meets each of the other 21 letters. The pair asks how an intention becomes present in a container, a word, a relationship, a decision, or a finished work. Aleph is described as pre-planetary in this layer. It should not be added to the five moving rulers of the daily astrology method. The series is a set of related symbolic readings, rather than a claim that every experience follows one compulsory sequence.

MAKE IT PRACTICAL

An example to work with

Before beginning a lesson or project, name the intention you want the work to carry. Then ask whether its structure actually supports that intention.
