"The Spirit of God preceded them, by day
in a pillar of cloud to show the way,
and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light...
The pillar of cloud never left its place
ahead of the people during the day,
nor the pillar of fire during the night."

The picture symbol of the letter 'Xx', the Hebrew Samech, is post. This symbol in itself hints of support and protection. From the Book of Light we learn that support and protection from celestial assistance is always with us. It is totally up to us as to the degree of spiritual help we will allow to work with and for us. We are reminded in the divine writings that this holy guidance and support never leaves us. The more we are aware of this hovering Presence, the more empowered we become and our earth living becomes a daily celebration. Through this loving Presence we attain inner unity, the mystical marriage of the feminine (cloud) and the masculine (fire). In this unified Light, we are no longer subject to the apparent ups and downs we find in this phase of the earth's evolution. We are to remember, "Behold, I make all things new." This mantra echoes throughout the earth at this time, and is accompanied by the pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire at night.

How excellently the design of the English Letter 'Xx' represents the revelation regarding support and protection, symbolized by the pillars of cloud and fire.The two posts relating to the two pillars of cloud and fire cross each other, symbolizing the sacred marriage of the two principles of creation. The letter 'Xx' is the only letter that openly faces all four directions. The top (north) is open to intuition; the bottom (south) is associated with instinctual knowledge; the left (east) relates to beginnings; the right (west) to the future. Intuitive discernment and exploratory powers are available in all four directions to sort through all incoming knowledge and information. The integration point created by the crossing of the posts represents the heart unifying the knowledge and information received. In creating a balanced printed 'Xx', our thinking becomes clearer, and our view of life becomes more artful and poetic. The symbolic signature 'X' in its essence, represents the totality of an integrated self.

The numerical resonance of the Samech (X) is 60. The number six is the coded principle of connection and union. The zero following the six represents support. The design of this fire letter calls our attention to the infinite nature of the illuminating Presence, with which we are always surrounded and in which we move. The interior of the Samech represents the kind of support we will receive when we connect with this mystical Presence. To receive the divine support encoded within the Samech, we must consciously connect to this ever-present guiding Light. As we trust and rely upon this Presence, we are anointed with heightened spiritual powers. With these gifts we create a personal and world sanctuary in which the Spirit of God dwells.

"And let them make a sanctuary that I may dwell within them."

It is the mighty hand of this powerful love Presence that supports us as we walk through the desert and wilderness, our individual and collective Exodus, to reach the land (consciousness) of a unified body, mind, soul and spirit. This is the Exodus that leads us to the Golden Era.
