MEANING OF THE NAME
FRANCE, Marseille, 1998 (47 y.o)
I still don’t have an explanation. So I decide to start learning Hebrew letters. I must manage to translate Antoll MA into Hebrew. At the synagogue in Aix-en-Provence, I naturally contacte the rabbi. This venerable white-bearded man has a curiosity, a human warmth and an open-mindedness that is at odds with his appearance. The doctor of law advises me on the texts to study. He supports me in my approach, while warning me after confiding in me about my objectives. A funny thing happened during this meeting. While he was looking through his documents, I approached the window. I was surprised to see a couple having sex! I told the rabbi about it. He didn’t worry about it, finding it natural. Who would expect this kind of reaction from a religious person.
I decided to learn Hebrew by myself. Very easily, I find the meaning of the name given. The Kabbalah researcher and writer, Georges Lahy, whom I met at the Marseille fair, validates my research on how to write Antoll MA. In Hebrew, it has the meaning of : “I will take what”. Not to be interpreted as “What will I take” but as “I will take the what”. According to the book by Georges Lahy. “The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Kabbalah”, the letters of Antoll MA have the following meanings in Hebrew:
- (Aleph) : First letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This letter unifies the worlds of the before and after creation. It is the permanence of unity. This alphabet has the particularity of beginning with a silence. Indeed, Aleph has no sound.
- (Noun) : Letter of fecundity and proliferation.
- (Teith) : Symbolises the change of state. Organ of transformation. Announcement of good things.
- (Vav) : Representation of all that unites things together.
- (Lamed) : Meaning of teaching, learning, instructing. It is the expression of inner strength, the outward movement of inner wealth. Intellectual power, study or science.
- (Mem) : Represents water. The idea of the matrix. Symbolises the return to the inner self to transform, the centripetal force. Indicates the glory of God, revealed openly through his actions.
- (Hé) : It is the letter of the breath of life. It is the mode of communication between the different levels of the soul.
Taken together, the meaning of the letters would give for Antoll MA: prolific and fruitful action for the transformation of things through the elevation of openly revealed inner wealth.
