The Hebrew word for Truth, אמת (Emet), deepens its own symbolism.
Each of its letters—Aleph (א), Mem (מ), and Tav (ת)—is depicted in traditional script as standing firmly on two split feet.
Unlike letters that rest precariously on a single point, the letters of Emet are stable, grounded, and enduring.
Truth does not wobble. It stands.
Moreover, . . .
Aleph (א) is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet,
Mem (מ) the middle,
and Tav (ת) the last.
Truth spans the entire continuum—from beginning to middle to end, from origin to fulfilment. It is not situational or transient. It remains true at every stage. Thus, Truth is both balanced and comprehensive, firmly planted across the whole of existence.
NOTE: Remember, Hebrew is read from right to left.
