Well, you know the hebrew letters all have numerical value. The words form phrases and sentences.
yes, i know that.
These form mathmatical equations.
do you mean gematria? at best, it's an "asmakhta" or support to something, but not the basis for major decisions or interpretations, numbers are simply too easy to manipulate.
There is already jewish documentation showing YHVH written vertically to form a figure simular to a man which of courses man was created in the image of GOD.
yes, that's known as the "KaVOD" configuration, but the Name can also be interpreted at least two other ways, we already know this, but there is not, as far as i know, an entire system based upon this method of interpretation - and i'm pretty sure i *would* know. if you have knowledge of such a system, i'd be interested to examine it and know its provenance.
So whether you believe me or not you can at least see there is a logical basic for this theory
you've shown me something that is widely known, but not why this theory equates to "The Truth (TM)" nor that you have a particularly special understanding of it.
I am simply saying I know this for a fact.
all you are actually saying here is that you *believe* it to be a fact. you cannot *know* anything to be a fact. in fact, philosophically, you are on very slippery ground here indeed. if i am to accept something as "fact", i have at least to see something like "evidence", preferably peer-reviewed. otherwise it's simply your say-so - and what's that to me?
If you read my last posts maybe you will see the logic of it based on jewish studies and teachings.
er... i don't think you understand these things. it is an interesting theory and one i've not heard before, so i'll grant that it's original, but you actually haven't shown me anything other than this one, widely known example of the kavod configuration of the main Name. can you show me one based on, say, the name "E-L ShaDaY"?
Each consonant is an element and the vowels (which they do not write down but they are still there) are the 5th element spread out consisting of the elements they span. As you know elements have scientific equations.
but there's nothing scientific about this. you've simply asserted an equivalence. can you substantiate this by telling me anything about the scientific significance of the Name?
Do you see that this isnt just something I made up?
well, you haven't exactly made it up, but you have provided no basis for agreeing it to be a valid method of interpretation, for example, by actually demonstrating how it can be used.
Going on this basic pattern you mirror the YHVH to get the opposite join the two at the navel which is the center vowel to get the whole picture. The texts contain a puzzle that is like this. Some people when doing a puzzle start from the outside in (seems funny to me beause creation of this universe was from the outside in) but this puzzle is started from the inside out with YHVH (2OPPOSITES) being the center of the puzzle. I AM who I AM. This is the pattern for LIFE and everything extends from this pattern. Since HUMAN was created in this image there ya go.
i've followed your instructions, but i've never seen anything like this before (see attachment) certainly, there is no precedent for using reflections in this way, nor have i ever come across anything like this in kabbalah. more to the point, it would be totally blasphemous to give the impression of G!D a) needing a counterpart, or b) being in some way a dualistic concept. we do not need two of the Name to express the concept of
zivug or "joining" within the G!DHead.
consequently, i'm none the wiser, but neither am i any more convinced of your claim.
