The Aleph (א) - The One - is the source of all Love, Hate, and Desire. These are the three quintessential characteristics that drive most if not all human behavior. Tellingly, the three Hebrew words for Love, Hate and Desire all derive from the same three Hebrew letters: ‘aleph’ (א), ‘bet’ (ב) and ‘hey’ (ה) plus a 'yud' (י) for Hate. The sum of these four letters is 18 (א=1, ב=2, ה=5 & י=10) which, in Hebrew, spells חי –Life.
