Again we encounter the ‘reflection’ paradigm, but in this case it’s a duplicate. As the inversion of the ‘M’, this letter represents masculine aspects of emanation and reproduction. The two sides are connected by an inverted ‘V’ or a spire — indicating a penetrative member or element, as opposed to the ‘receptive’ quality of ‘M’. ‘W’’s shape implies an emanation from above being bounced off a lower surface where it breaks into two distinct reflections. This represents the bilateral symmetry common to human form and thought: right/left, on/off, right/wrong, black/white, over/under, up/down, etc. Signiificantly, all of the common interrogative terms with the exception of how begin with ‘W’ — followed by ‘H’. This is particularly interesting because questioning requires a kind of cognitive ‘doubling’ in which known and unknown are divided. This doubling is followed by an emanative gesture (the meaning and sound of ‘H’) — the question — in which what is known and unknown are juxtaposed, compared, and transformed by this process. Perhaps the most significant aspect of this letter is the implication of a doubled self; the terrestrial or incarnate self, and the supernal or divine self — the soul. In line with this perspective, one could alternately see the spiritual source, or God, and the human incarnation — a child-instance of the celestial progenitor, made manifest in matter and mind. Yet there is another way in which this ‘doubled self’ functions — in knowledge we create endless doublings of self as bases for the elaboration of comparative activity. The ‘feeling self’ and the ‘knowing self’ represent strange reflections of each other. As mentioned in ‘M’, ‘W’ can also be interpreted as ‘a bird or angel, falling or diving’.
