Question: What are letters?

Answer: Letters are “Otiot” in Hebrew, which means “signs.” That is, these are signs with the help of which certain spiritual forces are designated.

We know that there are several possibilities to describe something: on paper, on parchment, on stone, and so on; it does not matter, even on sand or water. The main thing is that this record should be clear, that is, with clear roots.

The letters spoken of in The Zohar are special letters that denote the extension of the upper force to the lower form of life, which is desire. Light, the upper form of the government, affects the lower form, desire, and thus constantly changes it and forms it for itself.

Therefore, we can say that everything in the world consists of the upper force. This is the power of light, like a ray of light that shines on the form, on the desire, and transforms it in one direction or another in accordance with itself, as it decides.

In other words, every time light enters matter, it takes on a certain form. And letters, that is, signs, comprise this form.
