Spiritual Meaning of Letter J

Both the letters I and J correspond to “Yod” in the Hebrew alphabet, meaning hands. They represent the hands of God who created man out of clay.

“Yod” is a dot, so it depicts the Oneness and Unity within everything. It’s the cause of all causes because every Hebrew letter is made up of “Yod”.

Being the 10^th letter, J’s numerological value is 10, symbolizing God’s power (0) within Man (1). This is why in the Bible there are so many messengers start their names with J: Jesus, Jacob, John, Joseph, etc., because they’re spiritually endowed with God’s power.¹

The letter J begins with a straight line descending, symbolizing the Spirit coming down from the higher planes, and ends with a gentle upward curve, showing the soul’s intention to return to the Source after experiencing the physical world.

J’s numerological value is 10, because all manifestations come from the One (1) and will eventually return to the same source (10 = 1 + 0 = 1). Therefore, J symbolizes perfection and completion.

J is also the divine spark of light in each of us, as the image of “Yod” resembles a flame. The word “enlightenment” means receiving the light (or the flame) that dispels falsehoods, illusions, and darkness.

When the Greeks borrowed this concept of “Yod”, they changed the letter to “Iota”, which later became “I” in the English alphabet. “I”, whose numerological value is 9, also represents completion, accomplishment, and perfection.

“I” also means the spiritual “eyes” that see beyond the 3-dimensional world. Most people believe only in what they can physically see, forgetting that not everything real is visible, such as thoughts, emotions, sounds, smells, etc.

According to Resurrect Isis, the letter J represents the beard of Assur, which symbolizes his status and position as the maker of laws. Thus, it brings the power of speech. A king is powerful in speech because his words are laws and his judgments are final.
