As the "seed", Yod represents the principle of all things, potential in the Aleph of Kether,
(the value of 1), but now expanding through the action represented by Chockmah (and the number 10,
value of Yod, being the number of Sephiroth in the full Tree of Life). It is important to note that
Kabbalists state that the "thirty-two paths of wisdom" derive from Chockmah, which as a reflection of
Ain Soph would correlate in that the paths could not emanate from the Kether stage in that Ain is
naught, but would have to expand from the Ain Soph stage where the naught is progressed to the notnaught.
Also, it is stated that the "1" of Kether cannot become anything in that it IS the Unity, and
thus only through its own reflection (the formula of 1+1=2, rather than the mystic formula of 0=2) as
the "2" of Chockmah can manifestation begin. In the light of progress up the tree (the initiatory
system), then the SVPh stage of Chockmah is the "end" as the grade of Ipssissimus in Kether is
"beyond the comprehension of all lower grades" as Crowley puts it.
Nun in Binah
At the creative stage represented by Binah, the Sephirah at the top of the negative Pillar of
Form, we see "shadowed forth" the Nun of AIN and the final veil of AIN SVPh AVR. It is obvious
that an immediate connection can be made in that the value of NVN is fifty, and from Binah are
derived the "fifty gates of Understanding".
NVN is primarily the letter of transformation, and the "Scorpio energy" of Astrology. It thus
signifies change of form, which at its highest level depends on Binah, the "mother" of all Form. Also
in Binah we see the AVR stage of the three veils, although the AVR, or "light", is perceived as the
blackness of the "bitter sea" of Binah because its limitlessness is impossible for understanding to
contain.
The value of AIN SVPH AVR by Gematria is 1586, which reduces to 1+5+8+6 = 20 = 2+0 =
2, thus resuming the formula of 0=2, which is more fully stated as 0 = n + (-n), or perhaps NOTHING
= SELF + GOD (the infinitely small point of self when attempted to be perceived by consciousness,
and the infinitely large presence of God when attempted to be perceived likewise).
