We come to the fifth word of our verse, and it is logical that it is Hhokmah (Hayt-Kaf-Mem-Hay: 8.20.40.5),
which defines intelligence as, at one and the same time, a feminine symbol, knowledge and wisdom; in short,
as awoken consciousness. The Autiot forming the equation Hhokmah express the reservoir of undifferentiated,
primordial energy asserting its active existence from which the developing flow surges in search of lost unity.

Such is the role of consiousness, as it is of the 2nd Sephira which, as we have said, begets the Autiot:
Hhokmah shows reality upside down. To show it thus is to present it in the way that an imprint
is the hollow of a plenum, or the plenum of a hallow, left by a shape given to a body. If the surface is
supple, living and active it refects the energy which has punched it out. This return shock is the language
of the Autiot uttered by throught which receives and drives along the game of life, death and existence.
The same flow, stream and intensity of life strikes consciounsness and is reprojected by it, overtaken in
its closest secret by the maturation which overthrows its bulwarks. It can no longer deny that the
interplay of the Autiot is different from their intimations. The identiry of meaning and its signifcant number,
as 2nd Sephira, which we emphasize, is a mysterious passage across "a psychic high frequency," a continuous
vibration: life-death-life-death of conscious being.

In 'Aqarav Meadim is Hhokmah: the conditioned man finds his personal realisation in this sign. He is Hhokmah
(8.20.40.5), that is to say, his subconscious (8) comes into view, enters fully into existence (20) and tries to
resolve all kinds of problems (Mah: what?). In fact, 'Aqarav opens all possibilities to him (Ayn: 70) and,
by Qof (100), permits the Aleph captive in him to have access to the Universal. Meadim's awakening, however, does not
change its nature, which can be summed up in the one word: resistance. It impounds Raysh and Vayt, the outcome of 'Aqarav,
in a "house." Meadim claims to know itself and gains positive confidence.
