I find this interpretation of YHVH interesting <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.atlantis.to/LTA/chapter-nineteen-pg15.htm">www.atlantis.to/LTA/chapt...n-pg15.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>...“The most ancient name for the Universal Spirit, is Yod He Vau He. But this ancient name is far more than just what another religion calls their version of the concept of God, or even a name. In fact, it was not meant to really be just a ‘name’ at all. It is from before our time of human manifestation on Earth. It is the physical word equivalent of a vibrational, or thought form. It is an actual representation of the Universal Law that governs the ‘primary pattern’ [discussed earlier]. The name itself, is the key to creation, and the representation of the Universal Law of polarities, and the replication/reproduction of all vibration. And remember, EVERYTHING is vibration. Contained in this one name for the One, is the actual formula for creation, and the manifestation of all life within the One. Thus this name of God, is probably the single most significant metaphysical concept there is.”<br><br> “It sounds pretty deep and heavy.” <br><br> “No. It is the simplest thing in the Universe, just the hardest to really understand by the un-initiated, and unenlightened.”<br><br> “There’s no way I’ll be able to get it then.”<br><br> “Not at all. ‘The name’ is represented by four letters of what is now called the Hebrew alphabet, which have numerical, as well as symbolic, meanings.”<br><br> “Oh, that is very clear now...”, I said respectfully but with playful sarcasm. “So what is the name already!?”<br><br> “I told you, Yod-He-Vau-He (YHVH) [allegedly Pronounced Yohd-Hay-Vah-Hay].”<br><br>“Right, I’m sorry, I got off on the letters and numerology thing.”<br><br> “You asked about why different names for God within the same religion. This is one that was changed through time, translation, and misinterpretation, to many variations of the original, including, within several religions. Consider the similarities: Yahweh, Ya-Ho-Wah-Ho (YHWH), Ya-Ho-Wa, and Je-Ho-Vah, to name a few (Jehovah and Yahweh stuck pretty well). YHVH is also sometimes referred to as "the tetragrammaton" in magic and metaphysic circles. The first part, which was the positive polarity or “father” part of the name of God, was Yod, yes? See the similarity there even - Yod, God, Yod, God - not to hard to change through time and even pronunciation.”<br><br> “Yes, someone with a lisp or speech impediment could have started a whole new name of God to fight over.”<br><br> “Ah... yes, I suppose that could be.<br><br> The ancient teachings say that ‘He who can pronounce this name properly opens the gates of heaven’. This saying is vastly misunderstood. But even now, in some major religions it is forbidden to even attempt to pronounce YHVH.”<br><br> “Why?”<br><br> “In the early days of ‘religion’, certain ‘priests’ or high priests in power positions, who wanted more power, didn't want the common people to know this great key. They wanted people to need to go to the priests and turn to the religion for their understanding of God and spiritual matters.”<br><br> “Hey - how else are you going to make a buck and control everyone???”<br><br> “Exactly. This gave them great power and control, so they hid the name, changed the name, or made it forbidden to say by anyone other than the ‘high holy people’.”<br><br> I later asked Zain more about it, and he not only explained the details of the name, but taught me how to chant it as a meditation. It created major changes in my consciousness.<br><br> “The symbolism and structure of Yod-He-Vau-He is simple, yet deeply profound. And when its few simple elements combine, they give birth to the entire complexity of life. In part, YHVH represents that perfect simple pattern we spoke of earlier - the atom or solar system. It also speaks of human procreation, and stellar/planetary procreation. The first part, “Yod”, represents the positive (+), “Sun”, “light”, “the Father” principles. The first “He” represents the “negative”, not in the sense of “bad” or “evil”, but in the sense of (-), negative polarity, pure darkness like that of the void of space, the receptive, the Mother principles. “Vau” is the meeting of Yod and He; the place of interplay, intercourse, and combining of the first two principles. It is its own principle, and the place of conception of, and the birth of, the second “He” (again, pronounced “hay”). The second “He” is the offspring of Yod and He, the result of their interaction, their subsequent creation. The second “He” has the same attributes as its Father, the Yod, in that it actually IS a Yod in its own macro or microcosmic realm. The second “He” is on a vibrational plane an octave apart. The second “He” begins the cycle (Yod-He-Vau-He) again, but AS THE YOD in micro-cosm or macro-cosm, and its polarity is reversed from its “father” YOD. Interestingly, the “father” principle, Yod, was distorted through translation over time from “Yod” into “God”, which is also often given a “father” principle connotation.”<br><br>This took me some time and deep contemplation to grasp the entirety of, and the great significance of it. But I eventually did. In fact, it ultimately led to a great deal of scientific research I conducted, applying the name to light, sound, and music. I have included some other profound aspects, and an attempt at giving you examples that may help certain of you understand it better. Understanding vibration and music can make it easier.<br><br> The cycle of YHVH creation continues as an Infinite spiral. It can best be understood intuitively, but maybe these illustrations will help a bit.<br><br> <br><br> YOD<br><br> HE<br><br> VAU<br><br> HE/YOD.......octave<br><br> (Infinite HE<br><br> vibrational VAU<br><br> spiral) HE/YOD.......octave<br><br> HE<br><br> VAU<br><br> HE/YOD......octave<br><br> <br><br> YHVH makes a spiral (similar to DNA double helix don’t you think?), each Yod in the same place on a circle of the spiral, but just above, or just below - on its own circle. These are “octaves” of vibration, and can represent a micro or macro-cosm world of existence. <br><br> To further help understand the way YHVH works, consider the vibrational realm of sound, and facts relating to music. <br><br> A common frequency of the musical note of “A” that is universally used to tune instruments, is 440 cycles per second (also called 440 hertz [hz]). But there are an infinite number of “octaves” of "A", above and below 440hz. For instance, the next octave of “A” above that is exactly double, exactly times 2 - i.e., 880 cycles per second, whereas the octave of “A” below that is 220 cycles per second, exactly half, exactly divided by 2. Note that the next higher note of "A" is exactly double, and the next higher one from that is exactly double, etc., and that vibrational doubling will go on infinitely, even after it goes beyond the realm of sound. Likewise, the next lower note of "A" is exactly half the frequency, etc., etc.,<br><br> <br><br> "A" x 2 = "A" x 2 = "A" x 2 = "A" x 2 = "A" (etc., continuing infinitely)<br><br> 55hz 110hz 220hz 440hz 880hz (etc., continuing infinitely)<br><br> octave octave octave octave octave<br><br> <br><br> The "A" represents YOD; the multiplication by 2, represents the HE, and its intercourse (VAU) with the YOD; the next octave is the second HE, which is the offspring or creation of the YOD and HE's intercourse (VAU).<br><br> Below is another way of looking at it. In this example, the YOD and the first HE are of equal value (hz), and the combining or intercourse of the two (VAU) is represented by the equals sign (=). The numbers shown below the YHVH's are the cycles per second of octaves of "A".<br><br> <br><br>YOD + HE = HE/YOD + HE = HE/YOD + HE = HE/YOD<br><br>110 + 110 = 220 + 220 = 440 + 440 = 880 <br><br>(again, this continues infinitely up and infinitely down)<br><br> Don’t be frustrated if you don’t understand it easily or even for quite a while. I didn’t. Then one day it just hit me and all fell into place. <br><br>more here<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.atlantis.to/LTA/chapter-nineteen-pg15.htm">www.atlantis.to/LTA/chapt...n-pg15.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
