A “Smile” is called “Chiuch” (חיוך) in Hebrew.
The first two letters of “Chiuch” form the word “Chay” (חי), meaning “Life”. The last two letters, Vav and Kaf, have a gematria of 26, the gematria of the name of God YHVH (יהוה).

The corners of the mouth resemble two Yuds (י), and the lips resemble the letter Vav (ו).

Smile = Yud + Yud + Vav
= 10 + 10 + 6 = 26 🙂

The word “Smile” comes from the Indo-European root “Smey,” which is related to the Hebrew word Sameach (סמח), meaning “Happy.”

In Sanskrit, “Smayate” (स्मयते) means “Smile,” “Laugh,” but also “Shine.”

In Hebrew, the word “Netz” (נץ) refers to both a “flower” of a fruit tree and a “sparkle.”

#HappiNess #DeLight

The Hebrew word “Sameach” (Happy) shares an ancient root with the word “Tsemach” (צמח), meaning “Sprout” or “Offshoot.”

In the Amidah prayer, it is said “Et Tsemach David Tatsmiach” (“Your servant David’s sprout will flourish”) in reference to the Messiah. 
את צמח דוד תצמיח

“In that day, the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious…” — Isaiah 4:2 
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה צֶמַח יְהוָה לִצְבִי וּלְכָבוֹד וּפְרִי הָאָרֶץ לְגָאוֹן וּלְתִפְאֶרֶת לִפְלֵיטַת יִשְׂרָאֵל

“Tell him this: Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Behold, a man whose name is Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the Lord.” — Zechariah 6:12 
וְאָמַרְתָּ אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת לֵאמֹר: הִנֵּה אִישׁ צֶמַח שְׁמוֹ וּמִתַּחְתָּיו יִצְמָח וּבָנָה אֶת הֵיכַל יְהוָה
#Lord #Drôle

“Messiah” in Hebrew (“Mashiach” משיח) is an anagram of “Ysma’h” (ישמח), meaning “He will be happy.” 
Messiah is not only “Ish Tsema’h” (“Sprout-man”) but also “Ish Sameach” (“Happy Man”): God resides where there is joy.

In English, the letter K is pronounced like the word “Key.
The suffix “-ing” is used to form the present participle, expressing action.

King = Key + ing

The King/Queen is one who lives in action, who acts concretely and effectively.

In Sanskrit, “Krishna” means “Dark,” “He who attracts”, or “He who brings together”.

“Mousse” in French can be translated as “Foam”, “Lather” or “Moss”.
In Hebrew, “Moshe” (“Moses”) means “he who was drawn from the waters.”
משה 
In Arabic, “Moses” is pronounced “Mussa”
موسى 

“Moussa” in French is the third person singular past simple of the verb “to foam”.

To foam is to produce bubbles that form on the surface of a liquid. Like Moses, beer head is “drawn from the waters.”

It’s said that Moses was known for his humility—he did not boast (“To boast” is “Mousser” in French: to foam up).

In French, a “Mousse” also mean a “Beer”.

Une mousse ? Perhaps an 8.6 to start.

#Moe’s 

The word “Moss” partly originates from the Latin “Mulsa”, referring to mead, a drink created through fermentation that produces foam.

Moss grows in humid places.

In French a “Mousse” is also a young sailor. 

Moses, foam, beer, moss, a sailor—all these words relate to water, to that which is drawn from the water, which rises (on the mountain, at the surface of the glass…).

There is also “Mousse au chocolat” (chocolate mousse). To make it, opposites must unite: the dark of chocolate and the white of whipped egg.

“HaMousse” (“The chocolate mousse”)

The letter Yud is the 10th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It is the smallest letter, yet it represents the highest essence.

Yud is the first letter in the name of God, YHVH, associated with the partsuf Abba and the sefirah Chochmah, within the world of Emanation.
יהוה 

Chokhmah means “Wisdom” and is an anagram of “Koach Ma” (“The Power of Ma”, Ma being the lower world). The Yud resembles a seed, a primal idea that will make its way to the sefirah Malchout.
כח מה 

The letter Yud corresponds to the sound “i.”

In Chinese, Yī (一) means “One”. 

Yì (易) means “Change** or “Transformation” (as in “Yi Jing”). 

“Yì” (艺) signifies “Art” or “Talent”. 

“Yì” (意) means “Intention”, with the ideogram formed around the “Heart” (at the base).

Yi: practicing the Art of Transformation with the Intention to become One.

“Yì” (意) can be translated as “Intention”, “Thought”, “Mind”, “Consciousness”, or “Anticipation”—that is, the intention, thought (“Chokhmah”, world of “Atzilut”, Abba) preceding Creation (world of “Beriah”).

“Yi Dao Qi Dao” (意到汽到): Yi precedes Qi. Without Yi, there is no Qi. Such is the essence of Dao.

“Yì” (艺) etymologically means “Planting” or “Cultivating”. The letter “Yud” is similarly likened to a drop, a seed.

The smallest letter, begins the name of God. And it is Yi, the “small inner voice,” that brings beauty to things. It is a Drop of Divine Light.

“Yì” (意) is derived from 諳 (“Thinking”), with 心 (“Heart,” “Mind”) replacing 言 (“Speech,” “Sound”). Yi, therefore, conveys sounds (音) from what is within the heart, the mind (心).

Yi enables the Sound of the Heart to be expressed.

#TorahOfSound

According to the anonymous author of “Shaarei Tsedek,” a student of Abraham Abulafia, Man is the last of all created entities and is thus represented by the letter Yud, which is 10, considered the last primary number. “He is the Yud in this world, endowed with the power of the whole, encompassing all, like the Yud within the realm of the sefirot. Understand that there is no discernible difference between this Yud and that Yud, except in the finest nuance, from a spiritual perspective, and that the letter Yud has a full gematria of the other Yud (note: Yud’s full gematria is 20 = Yud (10) + Vav (6) + Dalet (4)).
יוד
This is the secret of the verse ‘You shall cling to Him,’ the attachment of Yud to Yud, to complete the circle.”

#YudToYou

Gematria of the name of God YHVH = 26 
יהוה 

The name of God YHVH can also be found within the letter Aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The letter Aleph is composed of two Yuds, two points, joined by the letter Vav.

These two Yuds represent the upper and lower worlds, masculine and feminine dimensions, Heaven and Earth.

Yud + Yud + Vav
= 10 + 10 + 6 
= 26 

In Chinese philosophy, Yin and Yang symbolize the phenomena of life and the cosmos—different components of a duality, generally opposing yet complementary. The two Yuds, like Yin and Yang, exist only in relation to each other.

The word Logo originates from the ancient Greek “Logos” (λόγος), meaning “Word”.

Many factors come into play in creating a logo that is globally recognized and enduring, like the Coca-Cola logo (a brand tied to the Word; see article on “Coca-Cola”).

It was in Israel, a country at the forefront of agricultural innovation, that the cultivation of tomatoes experienced a revolution. Many varieties were developed there, including the famous cherry tomatoes.

“Tomato” is called “Agvaniya” in Hebrew. 
עגבנייה 
Full Gematria = 777

The number 7 represents harmony, fullness, abundance. Tomato plants are especially sensitive to melodies.

In the Garden of Eden, where the heavenly melody reigns, there is no need for fertilizers. The science of plant song will bring Salvation to Humanity.

Shabbat, the 7th day of the week, is a “blessed” day. It corresponds to the sefirah Malkhut, the Shekhina (Divine Presence), and the world of Assiah (our world, the world of Action).

“Tomato” is “Tomate” in French.
“To mate” : to unite, to pair. Each of us is destined to reach the Shabbat of Humanity, which is the union with the Shechina.

#GoldenApple

The Shechina is said to come from the west. The tomato, originally from South America, took time to be appreciated in Europe. Its leaves smell unpleasant, and it was once considered cursed and toxic, being in the same family as belladonna. But the Shekhina veils herself… appearances can be deceiving. The “Pomme d’or” also called the “love apple”, began its conquest in Italy, Provence, France during the Revolution, and eventually the entire world.

The tomato is spherical in shape, symbolizing femininity. The revelation of the Shechina in alchemy corresponds to the Red Work, the color of the tomato. “Red” is “Adom” in Hebrew, containing the word “Dam,” which means “Blood.” 
אדום 

The tomato has the color of blood—a dynamic symbol. It is not a “vegetable” but a fruit, a tangible result of an effort.

Everything is illusion. The greatest Lights are not found “in the heavens” or the “spiritual.” They are buried deep within the material world. So let us follow Alice, leaving the superficial to journey into what is profound, into the interior of things.

#ALys

V.I.T.R.I.O.L. stands for “Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem,” meaning: “Visit the interior of the earth, and by rectifying, you will find the hidden stone.”

Vitriol
ויטריול 
Gematria = 271 
= Gematria of “Herayon” (“Pregnancy”) 
הריון 

According to the Talmud (Nidda 38a), the gematria of this word roughly corresponds to the number of days from conception to birth. 
271 is the 10th centered hexagonal number, making Vitriol a “hexagonal name.”

Israel
ישראל 
Gematria = 541 
541 is the 100th prime number and the 10th star number, making Israel a “starred name.”

The hexagon is connected to materiality, the matrix, and the forces of nature (molecules and atoms often take a hexagonal shape due to their covalent bonds). To break free from the matrix, we must refine the material world, rectify our character, and “polish the rough stone.”

#SelfKnowledge

The Stone is connected to the Rooster. In Gaulish, “Gal” / “Gallos” means “Stone,” and gave rise to the word “Galet” (pebble). “Gal” also signifies what is “Hard,” “Strong,” “Powerful,” what “Cries out.”
This root reappears in the Latin word “Gallus,” which means both “Rooster” and “Gaul.”

The symbol of Gaul is the Rooster, “Tarnegol” in Hebrew. The rooster has Binah, it is the first to distinguish day from night. 
תרנגול 
The gematria of the root GaL (related, in Hebrew, to “Revelation” as in “Guilouy”) is 33, which is also the international dialing code for France.

“To lapidate” (to stone to death) comes from the Latin word “Lapidare” (from “Lapis”: “Stone”). 
In Hebrew, “Lapid” means “Torch” or “Flame.”

The Lubavitch custom is to sing the Shabbat morning song HaAderet VeHaEmunah to the tune of the Marseillaise, repeating “Le’Chay Olamim!”

“My fruit is better than pure gold…” (Proverbs of Solomon 8:19)

“Pure gold” is called “Paz” in Hebrew.
פאז

When we receive the Divine Light, we reap the fruits of our labor: La Paz “the Pure Gold.”

“Shalom” and “Solomon” share the same Hebrew root: “Shalem,” which means “Whole.”

To be at Peace, one must gather together, become whole.

#SolomonIslands #PacificOcean

The Solomon Islands is a nation comprising hundreds of islands in the South Pacific. With approximately 80 languages spoken across an area of 28,450 square kilometers, it has the highest concentration of languages in the world. All its inhabitants are polyglots, much like King Solomon, who was said to understand the “Language of the Birds” and could explain any topic using 3,000 metaphors.

Polyphonies and the Pan Flute form the foundation of traditional music in the Solomon Islands. Voices and breaths intertwine to create a heavenly melody: God is One.

Welcome to the Solomon Islands, the islands of wholeness, of Shalom.

Listen closely.
