Episode 3: Creation through Numbers and Letters

The text explores the creation of the world according to the Sefer Yesirah, an ancient Hebrew text that describes creation through ten Sefirot and twenty-two letters, linking numbers and letters to reality. The idea that understanding the universe lies in the ability to "read" these combinations is discussed, similar to divine creation through naming. The works of Alberto Manguel and Roberto Calasso are mentioned, which analyze the relationship between language, creation, and the interpretation of texts, including the possibility of understanding images without understanding the written text. Finally, the importance of language as a fundamental element in the creation and understanding of the universe is highlighted.
