ALEF
Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Each Hebrew letter has a numerical value. For example, the numerical value of aleph is 1 and the numerical value of yod is 10; the number 11 is achieved by using these two letters (יא). Aleph means oneness of the god. As we discussed the meaning of Aleph and Yod (11), the 11th dimension is the perfect distance to see the everything at once. Yod means future, aleph means oneness of god.
There is also one story book of Borges which expresses the little aleph and the big aleph. It is to say that ability to see the person`s life in little aleph and to see all the world history in big aleph.
In Borges’ story, the Aleph is a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping, or confusion.
Quotation from the book : “On the back part of the step, toward the right, I saw a small iridescent sphere of almost unbearable brilliance. At first I thought it was revolving; then I realised that this movement was an illusion created by the dizzying world it bounded. The Aleph’s diameter was probably little more than an inch, but all space was there, actual and undiminished. Each thing (a mirror’s face, let us say) was infinite things, since I distinctly saw it from every angle of the universe. I saw the teeming sea; I saw daybreak and nightfall; I saw the multitudes of America; I saw a silvery cobweb in the center of a black pyramid; I saw a splintered labyrinth (it was London); I saw, close up, unending eyes watching themselves in me as in a mirror; I saw all the mirrors on earth and none of them reflected me; I saw in a backyard of Soler Street the same tiles that thirty years before I’d seen in the entrance of a house in Fray Bentos; I saw bunches of grapes, snow, tobacco, lodes of metal, steam; I saw convex equatorial deserts and each one of their grains of sand…”
A complex number is any number that can be written in the form z=a+bi z = a + b i where a is called the ‘real’ part and bi the ‘imaginary’ part. The complex number z=a+bi z = a + b i is said to be written in real-imaginary form. The imaginary unit i is defined to be i=√−1 .
In this matter, i`2 means -1. Eye(i) square equals to -1. When two person stands on eye to eye, -1 (-aleph) can be seen and shared. Square of eye means sitting face to face, eye to eye.
Plato, the Greek philosopher who lived in the 5th century B.C.E., believed that the universe was made of five types of matter: earth, air, fire, water, and cosmos. Each was described with a particular geometry, a platonic shape. For earth, that shape was the cube.
The square go board is said to represent the earth, with the 361 crossings of its lines representing days of the year.
Lyrics Elif
——————
ah sen küçük elif,
hep kaybeden oldun,
sen vardın sonunda.
hem de her seferde
acılar kadını olmak öğretildi;
sen yaptın doğruyu,
sanki varmış gibi…
unut hiç bir film yok
hayatını çeken:
bir sen ve daha sen,
seni gözetleyen
Lyrics of Aleph
————————-
Ah you little Elif,
you were always the loser,
you were there in the end.
and every time
you were taught to be a woman of pain;
you did the right thing,
as if you existed..
forget there is no movie
that shoots your life:
another you and another you,
watching you
I was sitting at the balcony and reading the Aleph (Borges) then 2 months later, Sakin released the Elif song. At that moment I figured out that I was able to see the little aleph and the big aleph. Couple of years later, I became friend with a lady called as Elif Birsen (Aleph the only you). We discussed the meaning of her name and surname. She was called as Elif but in fact I was the aleph more than her. That lovely song was a soundtrack to our friendship.
On the other hand, the thumbnail of this post contains a whale upon my childhood`s head. I assume that I`m in atlantis where the continent is the cosmos. I will travel along the way of “little whale stellar” of the northern world.
