From the Nag Hammadi Library:
 

                          The Apocryphal Gospel of Truth, from the Nag Hammadi Collection

For he revealed it as a knowledge with which all its emanations agree, namely, the knowledge of the living book that he revealed to the eternal beings at last as his letters, displaying to them that these are not merely vowels or consonants, so that one may read them and think of something void of meaning. On the contrary, they are letters that convey the Truth. They are pronounced only when they are known. Each letter is a perfect Truth, like a perfect book; for they are letters written by the hand of the unity, since the father wrote them for the eternal beings, so that they by means of his letters might come to know the father.

They truly are the key to knowledge. They are the means by which HaShem will glorify Torah, making it glorious. This will take time, and the industry of many souls. The work has been underway for decades, now; and I expect it to continue without end.
 
I’ve studied the Paleo emblems for over forty years. Sometimes I’m able to read them, like a child just learning his letters; and those times are both refreshing and edifying. For the most part, however, I think of the emblems as elements of a heave offering; and I keep tossing them into my mind, waiting for cdqh jwr, the holy spirit, to whisper the soundless counsel of HaShem into my heart. When that happens, I don’t assume that I’ve learned the meaning of a text, but that the understanding given to me was tailored to address my concerns of the moment.
