Do you have any teachings on the 72 Names of God from the bible code found in Exodus 14:19-21? While this was hidden from us gentiles until 80-90 years ago, it is still relatively new to us gentiles. Though I have read Yehuda Berg’s book on it, I think these names go much deeper. It would be interesting to know which 72 Names of God, which are always 3 Hebrew letters, Moses used to open the Red Sea. Perhaps we will never know. But if I may, it may be a good course for you to offer and it fits right in with Kabbalistic concepts of each letter. Thanks so much for all that you have shared so far.
Tracy,
The 72 names are the light of Hochma that fills the kli of Hasadim that shine on us. They are lights that fill our soul. All of the genuine kabbalists who achieved a very high degree can know the Creator to such a point will know these names that dress in his soul and through it he becomes like the Creator and can do what the Creator does.We can work on our spiritual ascension, attain those degrees and from there we can work with the 72 names.
People believe that we can use them to benefit matter in this world. It does give people a good feeling and help psychologically, when a person feels it will help him, it can, that is undeniable, but to attain them, is something spiritual and altogether different.
Seth@KabUI have never heard them described that way. So, what you’re saying is that it is not just the understanding of them or even knowing them that is what we strive for, but to actually attain them. In that, we have an intimacy with the creator in a greater way and can emulate what the creator does through and by them.
On a side note, I have a tuning fork company and I started the line of the 72 Names of God series. I only have 6 of them so far. I had a therapist use them on a patient with screws in her neck. They were visible under the skin, and you could feel them. He used the Miracle Making and Healing tuning forks which use the Hebrew gematria of each letter as frequency. At the end of his session, the screws were gone. Completely disappeared. Basically, the woman was healed. While I cannot say either the practitioner or the client rose to spiritual attainment, she was healed regardless.
I am learning to engage with these supernatural beings known as the living letters. They are our helpers trying to engage with us either physically or energetically to help us with our path. We have the choice of always going in the right direction or the wrong direction. Regardless, they engage with us to help us choose the right path. I love Dalet though it does not function like a typical door. It only opens when it is ready to open. When it does open and you go through it, unlike a regular door you cannot go back through the door. Once you go through it locks so that you cannot go back. Very important to see these letters and to know they are engaging with you as it keeps us on the right path if we choose to follow that or not.
Gil , you said the name for the Creator is HA VAY YAH but isn’t that a rearrangement of YUD HEY VAV HEY. I have noticed this usage from various KABU instructors but I don’t remember ever having heard why the original arrangement of the TETRAGRAMMATON given in the Bible is not used. One other observation which might be totally irrelevant but one of the most common names of God used in Hinduism and one which is used as a mantra is SHIVAYAH which is only one syllable different to HAVAYAH. Is this just an co incidence? Incidentally SHIVAYAH means the God that dwells within in Sanskrit but what does HAVAYAH or for that matter YUD HEY VAV HEY actually mean in Hebrew.
By the way I am really enjoying the course. Many thx, PaulPaul,
You are correct, when referring to the name Yud Hey Vav Hey the kabbalists refer to it as HaVaYaH.
(Others sound it out and come up with something like YaHoVaH. That has nothing to do with what we are engaged in at all.)
When the Creator is in the aspect of dwelling, he is called Shochen and the place where He dwells is called Shechina, but I don’t know much about Hinduism and so I won’t speak about it.Yud Hey Vav Hey is a primordial code that we study in other original source books. All of reality is encoded in this name, similar to our human code is encoded in our DNA.

Not sure if this was answered previously, but on the Dalet lesson, why did he say there was only one in the first verse? Isn’t there two, he left out the one in the verb “to know”
Paul,
If you told the waiter that you are thirsty and he says how much water do you want and you say a lot and he opens a giant hose on your face, it is too much.. it’s a lot, but it’s too much.So what does “a lot” mean? Means two tall glasses of cold water, or an ocean full of water?
So a name names what it is naming.
In this case, what is being named is not something that can be held in your hand, like we said, H2O it is some hydrogen and some oxygen, that’s what it is and in Hebrew, a name is the same way, it describes the root of the object that it names.
So we did not speak at all about “holiness”, or what that means to us when we say that word, it means, in short, separate from the regular material existence, so in a sense this word is describing a code that transcends this material existence. But this is beyond the scope of this class.

Hi
Everything explained about the forging of the letters it is conceptually based on the distinction of two forces: Light and Reception and their interaction of each other.
From which side do the letters describe this interaction, from the point of view of light or reception? In other words, are the letters formed from the point of view of light when is absorbed by the quality of reception or how this desire feels the light that gives its form?
Thank you.
Gustavo,
The spreading of the light from above… we can say sketches out the contour of the future ten sefirot.
As the light exits, the ten sefirot appear according to the contours outlined by the spreading of the light.
When the light is expelled from the vessel, what remains is the otiot, the letters.
The otiot/letters are the state where there is no light, but a strong desire to receive the light in a designated form.

I hope it is ok to share this…
The History of the Hebrew Language – Wow! Amazing & … Well, UpOn reaching the 5:50 timestamp, I sensed what felt like the unveiling of the Origins ~
A living Language ~>Hebrew (unchanging in the Upper (Root) Worlds), especially & interestingly in comparison to the ‘dead’ language of Latin that is now used to name things in this lower state/world (in which [man]is currently & continually changing its descriptive words of the animate, vegetative, etc., in their ever changing thoughts, trying to figure out the creation!)Looking forward…to learning more!!!
Just a question about the 5 Final versions (sofit). You said that they are connectors between the spiritual world of Atzilut and here. They dip below the line (Parsa). However, Mem Sofit is the only final letter that doesn’t do that. So, I am curious about that one. I was taught that when Mem is in the final version it is when we come out of chaos. For instance in Shalom you have a shin (2 teeth, pressure, consume, makes into smaller pieces, etc.), Lamed (Shepherds staff, teach, protect, goad to and from, etc.), Vav (tent peg, add, combine, secure, also pokes a hole into something that wasn’t there before), Mem Sofit (Chaos, water, blood). So, when the pressure is great, the great Shepherd pulls you to his side, where he teaches you, and protects you. In him you will learn from the pressure and how to grow through it. In other words, you cannot find peace until you have first gone through the storm. That letter seems to be a special one in its own way that is different from the other final versions because of that. So, I didn’t know if you had more on that one. Thanks in advance!
Tracy,
Nice insights. You are right. Final Mem doesn’t go below the parsa like you mentioned.
You already feel that the letters are describing our inner processes and transformation. Meaning that as go through our process of growth we reach the qualities of those letters.That square shape of the final Mem is the symbol of the desire to reach a whole state, to feel surrounded and protected by that love.
To use a metaphorical language in the way you asked, our inner process has two parts, the “desert” and the bountiful land. The journey through the desert is 40 (Mem) years, which is Malchut rising to Bina.
