Rosemarie,
This will help you a lot. If you have the time and desire, learning the roots of the words will help you identify and see a myriad of connections.
For example חבר Haver means friend. חיבור Hibur means connection.
Another example שלם Shalem means whole. שלום means peace. Even לשלם means to pay (to make whole).
Seth@KabUTracy,
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.

Gil says Ahevy (close to heavy:) which is like an acronym of these type of letters, Alef (A), Hey (he), Vav (V), Yud (Y).
Seth@KabUBen,
OK, but since in the meantime we are still living on Earth and communicating with each other, it is helpful and helps us advance more quickly and comfortably if we can communicate in a way that we can understand each other.
Seth@KabUAlejandro,
There are many processes and operations that happens as the Light cascades from Ein Sof until the mixing of Malchut with Bina, the shattering of the vessel, etc.
We will learn about this later.
In short, the vessel also receives, not only abundance from the Light, but it also receives from the Light the quality to be like the Light.
At the end of the story, the vessel has to receive as the entire purpose of creation is to fill that vessel with endless delight, however, the switch that will happen is that it will receive, but it receives, not for itself, but receives to give contentment to the Creator.
Everyone wins 🙂
Seth@KabUPaul,
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.
