Tzlilanai Ha Alefaf

The alphabetical letters from Alef to infinity

The Alefaf took shape over a period of several years, through channellings from Aahava the divine to Ruti. These appeared through visions of the symbols and flashes of insight. Together with this flow of information, Ruti began to study the history of the alphabet and linguistics.

In the divine Aahava (love) Alefaf there are twenty four consonantal tzlilanim (24 letters), 5 of which also represent vowels.

From Alef to Af, each tzlilan is represented by a single grapheme and one unique harmonic phoneme.

From A to Af (infinity), these phonemes and their divine names, through their harmonious combination, form words that are beneficial to our genetic structure and our physical reality. Only divine words can create balance and divine perfection.

Alef, Bet, Gal, Ray, Da’at, Hey, Voice, Zman, Hai, Tov, Yahad, Kef, Lahan, Mai, Nano, Semel, Petah, Tzlil, Shem, Waw, Jour, Jen, Chi, Af.

Only divine words can create balance and divine perfection.

From A to Af (infinity), these phonemes and their divine names, through their harmonious combination, form words that are beneficial to our genetic structure and our physical reality.

From Alef to Chi, each phoneme is represented by the first sound that forms its name, whereas Af, the final phoneme that concludes the Alefaf, is represented by the last sound in its name.
