Instinctually, all mankind (not just Quantum Physicists) desire to penetrate the sheer curtain of matter to peer deeply into the organizing field of consciousness the Hebrews called BEING, personified always in the first person (the one seeing, hearing and speaking) and grounded in the present tense – I AM, and so as never to be confused with that aspect of the person already known to him/herself, exalted above the senses as THE GREAT I AM, so unapproachable and distinctively Other or transcendent, that the Hebrews never encouraged either the speaking or even writing of the Holy Name, and even today, the tradition continues as in English we refuse to translate THE NAME though we do speak IT and write it, as YAHVAH or YAHWEH or JEHOVAH.
Perhaps that itself was a mistake…judging by the plethora of half wits (myself included at times) encouraged by their religious teachers to claim GD as bosom buddy – The Awesome Who Sits in Unapproachable Light, and being so convinced of intimacy or perhaps better said, claimed familiarity; given so infuriatingly frequently and casually, fearlessly to dare speak on the behalf of the Unspeakable Majesty and so sully (were that possible) His Great Name, or perhaps better put, merely confound listeners with their religious megalomaniac frivolity.
But Alas, GD does speak, and does approach mere man and even base matter, and prodigiously shares His Glory with that still contained in corruptible flesh. John 17 5, 22-24, like the maverick King who leaves His Majestic palace disguised, to meander with commoners … who can argue with the King or teach Him wisdom?
Two of the telling terrible attributes of the Vision which speaks and the Voice which enlightens, senses being confounded near the gravitational threshold of the dimension of space-time bursting upon the shores of eternity, i.e. the reverberation of heaven and earth, items 1 and 5 in my exegesis of Psalm 29 towards the end of my Reflection, are indicators of the Holy Presence. If there is no thunder, no earthquake, God has not spoken. When God speaks …. even in whisper, Earth and Heaven move.
May His Name now be Hallowed. Amen.
