From the above, we see that the meanings of the double letters given in the GRA versionof the Sefer Yetzirah also fit in well with the structure of the Tree of Life. Additionally,the meanings of these letters direct us with regards to how to make a vertical ascent of thetree. For example to ascend on the left side from the sefirah of Hod to Gevurah to Binah,we have to discipline and dominate our mind (peh), and then, like a camel (gimmel),digest the knowledge we’ve acquired in order to move to an even higher level.52
To move up the central column of the tree, we have to begin with Torah. We have toadhere to proper behavior and a high ethical standard in order to establish a goodfoundation. This in turn will cause compassion to unfold automatically within us andtake us to a place of balance and beauty. And the end result will be an ability toapprehend true knowledge that will enable us to pierce the illusions of the world andcomprehend the true nature of our connectedness with all things.53
