a) what's your source?

b) you seem to be mixing letters and sefiros, blu flame is malchus, then comes vov, then comes binah
c) seems you are msiing an Os.

d) regarding Emes and its interspersement in the aleph bais, see Meshech Chochma to Balak on the posuk uSruas Melech Bo.
further see, Tiferes Yehonasan 1st piece in Breishis, to R' Yehonasan Eibeshitz zt"l and R' Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin, in sichas Malachei Hashareis perek 4. of course, see the Yerushalmi Sanhedrin 1:1.

(see the following, it's my own combination of some of the above:
מנצפ"ך תוך או סוף הא"ב

איתא בירושלמי (סנהדרין א' א') אמר ריש לקיש אל"ף רישיה דאלפא ביתא מ"ם באמצעיתה תי"ו בסופה לומר אני ה' ראשון שלא קיבלתי מאחר ומבלעדי אין אלהים שאין לי שותף ואת אחרונים אני הוא שאיני עתיד למוסרה לאחר.
....

e) gacheles is a piece of coal. typically found amongst other coals, not alone. see attached.

a) The source is Sefer Yetzirah, mostly in Rabbi Kaplan's translation. One can find it on Google Books.

b)The straight flame is letter vav, "vav kavin" - or six direction, and that is why letters, numbers, and sefirot had to be mentioned together

c)Not sure about what Os are missing

d) The connection to Truth is out of the Rabbi Kaplan's commentary. I would be happy to be able to read all the references, but what is the main point?

e) The word "gachelet" is out of Sefer Yetzirah itself.

re c) the missin Os would be Yud or Heh. you got ur Vov being the straight 6, you got your last Heh being binah, and, 'cause i dunno what malchus is (Yud or Heh) u got a Yud or Heh -
in which case you'd be missing your Heh or Yud, 'cause u only descibe 3 aspects.

Machut is the flame just above the wick
Next six Sefirot are the in the flame (vav)
Bina (Understanding) - hottest white flame
Chochma (Wisdom) - light
Keter (Crown, or Will) - idea of the candle

Mark, I enjoyed this email. What is the source for the Kabbalah emails and have you tried meditation on a candle before?

Gary, I am glad you enjoyed it, and yes, I love it a lot. The source is in Sefer Yetzirah (I use Rabbi Kaplan's translation), and you find it online in Google Books or buy it on Amazon.
