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

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.
