The letter à Aleph has the numerical value of 1, since it is the first letter. The letter ì Lamed (which is exactly in the middle of the alphabet) has the value of 30. The letter ó or ô Peh has the value of 80. So if you make the addition of 80 + 30 + 1 you have 111. In other words, the result is three ones (three-unities), or better said, three Alephs in one.
three pillars?

What does this prove? What does superimposing Hebrew letters over images of the human body prove? I am not Hebrew, or Jewish, or Christian, so I place no value on numerology derived from these sources. All these things do is overcomplicate that which should be simple.
I advise we simply go within, and open our mind to the silence.

Just an observation about our breath... and its connection with life.
Also made me wonder how the letter for any alpha-bet(h) are formed the way they are.
Alpha= Ox Beth=House

You might be more interested in this snippet from that same link, henka. Mithras cutting the throat of the bull is a symbol related with the throat, as we are explaining here. The power of God is in ãòú Daath. The sword is a symbol of the rays of the sun. Mithras symbolizes the rays of the sun that rise in the spinal column through sexual transmutation; that energy that rises in the spinal column develops the sword of the angels. That is why we call it the flaming sword of the angels. When that fire, that sword, rises from the coccyx and reaches the throat, then occurs “the slaughtering of the bull.” The blood that emerges from the throat of the bull fertilizes all the archetypes that we have within, and develops spirituality. The symbolism contained herein will relate to two areas of your life that I am aware of. A thoughtful reading here will give some Freemasons some useful clues to some things.

We do that when we sleep also, but few pay attention to their dreams.
Also, silent forums aren't much fun. Forums can be used for sharing what we learn when the silence speaks back.

... when all was silent on the way to work this morning and I 'was off with the fairies while driving', it popped into my head that if the central bar of the Aleph ran between the Master and the SW, then the two side bars are perfectly placed for the two deacons.

What does superimposing Hebrew letters over images of the human body prove? I took a moment to connect to the image and the energy above the head represented (connected to) by the aleph enters the head at the 3rd eye and manifests via the voice. I could feel the flow as I looked at the diagram. Experiential evidence for me that I can now investigate by experiment to detect the nature of the connections facilitated by the diagram Perhaps the Hebrew letters do actually conduct inner forces. That would make some of the words directly powerful

Tipareth being the balance. If relating that info with the deacon's duties that would make the SW a balance or centre. Which that position is. The follow on would be that Malkuth could be seen as the JW. (I am aware that the Sephiroth of Beauty and Wisdom are not Malkuth and Kether - just thought it a useful diagram) gnosticteachings.org/courses/alphabet-of-kabbalah/734-iod.html

What I mean is that we need to go within to find that which we seek. The outward forms (Freemasonry, Cabala, Alchemy, etc.) are simply tools to help us relate, symbolically, that which we find.

I agree with you whole heartedly.
And Freemasonry is a tool that helps aids our search for knowledge and wisdom (right application of knowledge).
Freemasonry is also a tracing board. If you bring back bits n pieces from the various voyages of discovery, you can see if the pieces fit.
(That was how I first recognised that major traditions are all saying the same thing - just using different languages and techniques to do so).

"A's" keep popping into my head and I was wondering why. Then I realised our A or a and be compared with the first letter in other alphabets. The first letter generally starts from 'above' and moves down. Then there is a separation and a reconnection point. When I thought of this I went into Wikipedia and look what I found. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI hadn't thought of the two horns of the bull as being antenna. Singularity -> Duality = animal form. Our A can be seen as a bull upside down... and we do tend to see things from our point of view

What if Earth humanity had some contribution to make to Creation?

A good many are trying their best to do their best to make things more perfect. ( my daughter is perfect ) Scientists and artists etc work continually towards perfection. Parents endeavour to raise responsible and aware children. Religious have faith that God knows what He's doing. I talk to the trees... does that count? Actually I talk to anything ...

Important abilities include being able to:
- distinguish internal from external impulses - distinguish light from dark - control levels of consciousness - cooperate with the intelligences that contribute to the human form and persona - align with suitable sponsors and impulses from on high.
Connections with the greater whole need to be clear and conscious so there is much work to do to resolve the trauma and karma that inhibit human perception of reality.

1, 2 & 5 I can kinda grasp and that is why I tend the forum/s. 3 & 4 - I'm still in the dark about stuff there.
Control levels of consciousness... speak to me of this. Too much control can be an ego trip.

Most humans above the age of reason actively control their consciousnesses at least some of the time. For example, if someone stubs a toe they can choose to control the reaction to the pain sufficiently to avoid swearing - or not.
Thus it is possible to do much by close observation and internal control. Method acting is an extension of this.
Where the initiate is working with a greater plan there may be a need for more a systematic and theoretical basis for conscious control, particularly where the initiate is working at the limits of their attainment.
Rising on the planes is a generic name given to frequency movements, but quality movements are equally important in some situations.
>Too much control can be an ego trip
There are two obvious dimensions to this:
- the entity that manipulates the persona for its own ends is essentially a control freak. This entity needs to be transformed before the junior initiate will cease to be a danger to all
- the need to cooperate with intelligences and energies that are not always apparent requires that intent is used at transpersonal levels - hence "I rest my intent upon ...."

>cooperate with the intelligences that contribute to the human form and persona
The human form and persona are built using elemental (substances) and nature spirits. Humans must eventually come into harmony with those beings upon which they depend for physical and psychological well-being.
Typical expressions from poorly integrated humans include:
- I don't understand myself - The devil made me do it - I was not myself - I got out of the wrong side of the bed
