In the pictures you will see for each letter, you need in internalize the symbolize for 5 features of each letter in the alphabet. First, you already know we are pegging these letters to an image representing a number that places the letter in the proper sequence of the alphabet. Second and Third, we obviously need to learn the shape and sound of the letters since they are not like letters in the Roman alphabet. The core shape of the letter will be present in the memory picture, but then we will also need to learn to cut off about half of each letter letter to place it inside of words in connected (cursive-like) writing. The sounds we learn at first will also sometimes be close approximations of the real sound since many of these sounds don't exist in English. This different will be explained in the posts dedicated to each letter.
Finally, the fourth and fifth things we need to know about each letter is whether the letter is (4th) Dark or Light and (5th) whether it is a Sun or Moon Letter. On the one hand, the Darkness of a letter effects the pronunciation of neighboring vowel sounds making them deeper (i.e. more open mouthed) like saw instead of say. On the other hand, the Solar aspect of a Sun letter makes a preceding "L" sound change into a clone of the Sun letter, so that the "L" is in effect silent and the Sun letter is doubled. Moon letters don't have any effect on preceding "L." Because the "G" in algebra (an Arabic word) is a Moon letter, we pronounce the "L." If it had been a Sun letter we would have called algebra, "aggebra."
Pay close attention to how all five of these features are symbolically represented for our sensory imaginations in the dreamscapes for each letter. Then test yourself on all five features of each letter by memory.
