– This letter is a tsadik (also spelled tzadik, tsadi, tsade, or sade in English) - TSAH dee(k). * · It is the first letter of the Hebrew word tselem, which means 'image'. · Not only is this the first letter of the Hebrew word tselem, the shape of this letter represents human Wisdom and Understanding as they reflect G-d's Wisdom and Understanding. · Human consciousness, from this Wisdom and Understanding, reflects how we are created in G-d's image – Tselem Elokim. Tselem Elokim - TSEL em eh loh KEEM· (See a full explanation of how this letter is written in holy Hebrew on the previous page). Tsadik is a composite letter · This form of the letter tsadik is also called tsadik kefufa and, to review, consists of pieces from two different letters – a nun and a yod. · The right part is a reversed yod with a square, bottom-right corner. The left part is a nun kefufa, which is even more curved than a nun normally is, and it has a wider bottom base than normal. The reversed yod rests on the back part of the nun. · The left heads of both a nun and a tsadik have three tagin, crown points, on them, like a regular nun. The two heads should not touch one another at all. 'Mitzvah' is the Tree of Life · Mem represents both the essence of the soul and the essence of its Wisdom. · The crown points of the Tsadik conduct a natural flow from the letter Mem's open channel, which is directly above these crown points. This flow penetrates the Tsadik. · This flow of natural Wisdom also drips into the well of the Tsadik. · The thorn, at the upper-right corner of the Tsadik represents a flow from a "higher" source which bypasses the letter Mem altogether. · The thorn and the crown points symbolize how this higher flow is channeled into the well of the Tsadik. · Understanding derives from both natural Wisdom and the essence of Wisdom. · Understanding gives birth to conscious emotions and feelings. Mem is also a composite letter — from the letters Khaf (on the right) fused with Vav
