Every letter is built from smaller marks of light.

Every human-shaped figure above contains four aspects: the four spellings-out ('fillings') of YHVH, named by their numerical values AB (72), SaG (63), MaH (45) and BaN (52). They match the four layers of a Torah scroll's script: cantillation marks (te'amim), vowel points (nekudot), crowns on the letters (tagin) and the letters (otiyot). The four together are abbreviated TaNTA. In Adam Kadmon, AB rules the skull and SaG runs from the ears downward. All four are really letters in different shapes. Te'amim are letters built of circles, nekudot of dots, tagin of crowns. Only the last are the letters of our alphabet.
