Nune

Spelling: nune vahv nune

In Aramaic, the spelling of nune indicates the word for fish. In Hebrew, it means kingdom, or may indicate a royal heir. The central vahv links two of the same letter, and this is the only instance of such a phenomenon in the spellings of the Hebrew letters. The significance of this is not clear, but it may indicate the ‘pairing’ or connection between one who is faithful and God.

Nune is often understood as a faithful person bent over in supplication, representing authentic humility in the presence of understanding, love, and the glory of the divine. As a fish, we see the quality of hey’s archetypal projection being realized in ‘myriads of children’ in the existential or terrestrial world. Fish are a swarming creature, symbolic of reproductivity. The often travel in large groups, which act almost as a single body comprised of many discrete elements.

Nune follows mame — ‘the waters’ and the fish live within mame and are her children, and also the living embodiment of her senses. The world of the waters is commonly hidden to mankind, and thus the fish represents ‘the hidden existence’ of the spiritual children of God.

In its symbolization of ‘heirs’ nune relates to the spiritual source and destination of all beings — like the salmon which undertakes a seemingly impossible journey to ‘the great waters’, and then back — often traveling up waterfalls to the place of its birth to spawn. We are all heirs to the mundanely impossible glory of our source and true birthplace — a place majestic beyond the wildest imaginings of our religions and fictions combined. At once together and alone we are born, travel to the ‘great waters’ of common human existence, and back — up the downflow of the living waters — to the true source of our own emergence. What will we do when there?

Traditionally, nune is associated with the children of kings, and with the messiah. In truth, however, this messiah is uniquely embodied in each of us, as a potential we may strive to awaken, and awaken to. All of us are ‘children of the royal couple’ who are one, and perhaps too often referred to as being male. The unityBeing is both genders, and additionally transcends gender entirely.
