How did Aleph become 'father' when it was originally the word for Ox? Is your god a stubborn beast of burden?

I love this game. We're playing "how many times can I rearrange the same statement and repeat it in one thread to make a point while quoting the same verse from John" right?

Aleph is Ox as defined by the pictograph. Aleph Bet AB is Abba, Father. The OX represents strength pulling the cart. The wheel of life turns as the ox pulls the burden. It's a beautiful picture of God's shepherding of the sheep in the wilderness.
BUDDHA DHAMMAPADA
Chapter 1 - Choices
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
We are what we think.

In a nutshell, the authors shift attention from the "hardware" – the chemical basis of life – to the "software" – its information content. '' ........................................................................................,,,,,,, Interesting. Meaningful words written in ink do not emerge from the ink, which is just the material used to write..... but rather the mind of the writer. Information (software) can exist abstractly without the DNA used to express it. But the DNA without the information is just a chemical.... Like ink in a pot.
