What Roaa asks of its bearer

The reading of Roaa begins with Ra: an outward self in motion. At the interior, Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are the inward currents the name carries. And Roaa closes on Ya: the life closes in selfhood and vocation. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until visions is not what the name says but what the life shows.
