Yetzirah: World of Polarities In Yetzirah, everything is split, sorted, classified, and weighted with a positive or negative valence. Angels are from Michael's, khesed-dikeh, side or from Gabriel's, gevurah-dikeh, side. The songs are either in a major or in a minor key, Halleluya'h's or wails. Sometimes a wail is buried in a Halleluyah. Relationships interact in this world. Of the letters, the following seven can be written with a dagesh (middle dot) which brings out their opposite side. We don't know how to pronounce all of these letters differently, only some. The valence plays out in the Hebrew words formed from the Dagesh letters. Garment Disloyal Beged means a garment which protects and selectively reveals; bagad means to betray or act with treachery which wounds, leaving one vulnerable. Kappara means atonement and cleansing; K'fira means denial and rejection. Oppositional meanings are hidden within two words formed from the seven Hebrew letters carrying the dagesh's dual-pronounciation.
