The tetractys is a triangular figure composed of 10 points arranged in four rows: 1, 2, 3, and 4 points.
“Tetractys” (τετρακτύς) means “Fourfold Ray of Light” in Greek. Within it, we find the “Holy Name of 4 Letters”, as the Pythagoreans say, corresponding to the 4 elements, and so on.
4 like the 4 letters of the Divine Name YHVH
יהוה
10 is also the number of sefirot.
Everything is in the tetractys.

The Trickster hides within the Tetractys: God is One, Four, Seven, Ten… God also enjoys a game of bowling.

The triangle is also a divine symbol, and we find this tetractys triangle represented in bowling and its 10 pins.
The bowling ball itself has 3 holes arranged in a triangle.
At the time of Humanity’s Salvation, this friendly sport—played with family and friends—will regain all its dignity. Mashiach, in fact, is a bowling champion.
A bowling lane is made up of 39 wooden boards marked with 7 arrows.

The Malchut in exile is “black,” “soiled”.
During the Redemption, however, it will be clean, it will shine.
Similarly, in a bowling alley, everything is clean, polished, and smooth.
The film The Big Lebowski is the 7th film by the Coen brothers.
Jeffrey Lebowski is nicknamed “the Dude.”
The number 7 and the Dude are connected to the sefira Malchut.
“Dude” resembles “Dod”, which means “Beloved” in Hebrew.
“Lecha Dodi” (“Come, My Beloved”) is a song sung in the synagogue on Friday night to welcome Shabbat, to welcome the Shechina.

Jeff Lebowski is unemployed.
His friend Walter Sobchak, however, is “Shomer” (Shabbat-keeper).

The word “Bowling” includes “Bowl” (a Cup, which represents the sefira Malchut) + the suffix -ing, indicating action.

Bowling has a messianic dimension. This is why the Dude’s enemy is Jesus, a character portrayed as arrogant, rude, and truly undesirable. Jesus is a myth, the false new Torah. The film’s French Canadian title is “Erreur sur la personne” (“Mistaken Identity”).
We reach Malchut through the true New Torah of the “Je suis” (I am), by challenging false beliefs and taking action—becoming champions of bowling ourselves.
