Mishna 2.4
Transliteration
Shalosh Emot Ehmesh, Yesodin Caf Zecut VeCaf Chovah VeLashon Chok Mecireyah Benatim
Translation
3 Mothers Ehmesh, foundation on merit (benefit of the doubt), Debit or guilt or liability (opposite of the benefit of the doubt, and tongue or speech which balances between them.
The universe is built on POLARITY of which male female is just one example.
The universe operates on movement between poles.
Balance does not mean stopping the movement.
Merit comes from Right Column; Chovah comes from Left Column; and Tongue or speech between is the Center Column
Merit is Chesed; Chovah is Gevurah; Tongue is Tiferet.
We are still dealing with the Mother Letters. Aleph Mem Shin. Shin between Chochma and Binah, Mem between Netzach and Hod, and in between the other two, Aleph between Chesed and Gevurah.
Chapter 1 was dealing with the Sefirot. Chapter 2 is dealing with the Letters. What is the relationship between the letters and the Sefirot?
They are body and soul. Which is which? Body and Soul is form and substance. What is form and what is substance? Why should i care?
The mother letters are more than they seem. Let's look at them.
Meyshiah משא יהו
Meyahshi מאש יוה
Shimeyah שמא היו
Shiahmey שאמ הוי
Ahmeyshi אמש ויה
Ahshimey אשמ והי
6 permutations - 6 emotions - 6 power stations - 6 personalities - which is correct? Does not matter as they all are correct
Mishna 2.5
Transliteration
22 foundation letters; Chakikan, Chatzivan, Shakilan, Tzarifan, Vehamiran Vetzar Bahen Nefesh Kol Hayetzir Vecal TaAmid Latzur.
There are 5 things to do with the letters all in the frame of mind.
Translation and Explanation
Chakak - Engrave the letters - visualize the letter - How important is the exact form? essence of the letter -
Chatzivan - Carve the lettters - set up a fence to keep everything else out
Shakilan - weight them or measure the letters - put them in their proper order balance them in their place. Order of Alef Bet - Balance the letters by putting each letter with other letters.
Vehamiran - permute the letters - change location Aleph first and then Aleph second.
Vetzar - change the letters (substitute other letters) - change the vowels. Example see below.
Form the Nefesh of everything that will be formed and everything that can be formed.
Notice that we are talking about the world of Yetzirah.
Letter is a concept; active and passive;
There are pairs and opposites within the letters. 11 letters are male; 11 letters are female. Which is which?
Aleph is male
Bet is female
Gimmel is male
Dalet is female

Remember everything is relative. When a letter is giving to another it is male whatever the list shows. When it is receiving from another it is female what ever the list shows.
Know the following very well:
The Tree of Life or The Tree of Knowledge Good and Evil has Sefirot and Letters. What flows through them? It can be called many things. It is the light of HaShem being transformed by the items it flows through. Does the light actually change? NO, it does NOT. We will call this essense Shefah.
When one deals with specific Sefirot in relation to specific letters, in combination with specific combination of letters, in relation to specific combination of Sefirot, which are activated by certain combinations of vowels, you are correlating specific energies whch correlate to specific forms, which are the foundation of everything created in the universe.
Part of our spiritual work is to be co-creators. How can we do that? Read the above paragraph!
So do not worry. Those evil guys can not do any harm even though they are playing with power greater than atomic energy. The fail safe mechanism will kick in.
Vocalists practice. Budding Kabbalists also practice. The practice consists of the following. Start with the form and then visualize the structure build by the form and then inject your intuition into the logical; to inject poetry into the prose; to inject fulid into the rigid; inject wisdom into understanding. Do not ask me to explain this to you tonight. These are hints. PRACTICE and then practice some more and then you can ask me.
Reveal do not memorize.
Here is a practice sheet and i do mean practice
TaAa SHeAa RayAa KoAa TZaAa PayAa AhAa SaAa NuAa MayAa LaAa CHaAa YoAa TayAa ChayAa ZaAa WaAa HayAa DaAa QiAa BayAa AaAa
AaAa TaAa SHeAa RayAa KoAa TZaAa PayAa AhAa SaAa NuAa MayAa LaAa CHaAa YoAa TayAa ChayAa ZaAa WaAa HayAa DaAa QiAa BayAa
etc
Here is another practice sheet do it in reverse order. This is permuting the letters.
Here is third practice sheet; do it with different vowels.
Aleph with Aleph and vowels A E I O U
Aleph with Bet and vowels A E I O U
Aleph with Gimmel and vowels A E I O U
ETC.
