Huh?

I love to title my blogs with funny, short or symbolic words.
I thought of Vesta, Sophia, Hello!, and dozens of other stuff until I decided to go closer to my heart, mind and soul which brought even more names and words until I got tired of it and did my favorite process of selection: I took one of my favorite books, closed my eyes, opened up wherever my hands decided to and pointed my finger directly into one page.
Voila!

Before the book I did the same with a Google search and I found something that I so wanted to use, but one was way too long:
"Eheye Asher Eheye" a name of God that He used when Moses asked for His name: "I am that I am"
and the other was good but didn't feel like 'it':
"Shadai"the name by which God was known to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, it means 'Almighty' and is also connected with fertility and fruitfulness (which now that I'm writing this sounds quite interesting, I explain why bellow)

So, what my blog's name means?

It is all about Kabbalah

This is going to be quite a long explanation and because it can be quite complex I'll quote from
books of two of my favorite modern Kabbalists: A Wish Can Change Your Life, from my astrologer Gahl Sasson, and The 72 Names of God from one of my former Kabbalah teachers Yehuda Berg

Kabbalah is the ancient "mystical, universal interpretation of the meaning and mechanics of life that has been preserved for thousands of years (...) It instructs that God uses the Tree of Life for the construction of the universe.
Everything emerged from the ten life giving energy forces vibrating through this magnificent cosmic tree" (Sasson, 2001)

"It began with Abraham the father of the three greatest monotheistic religions. Abraham recognized that there were two speheres that affect our lives: spiritual and physical. he revealed the laws for both of these speheres-which is to say, a code of laws for the workings of the entire universe. He explained how the spiritual world intersects with the physical world, and what we can do at that intersection to create happiness.
Using these laws of the universe, Kabbalah offers a system that explains all of the real-life issues.
Kabbalah profoundly influenced the greatest thinkers of history, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohamed, Pythagoras, Plato, Newton, Libniz, Shakespeare and Jung" (Berg, 2003)

OK, so that's a short-coming of what Kabbalah means, now to the next point.
Again, Mr Berg (I'm going to sort of paraphrase him -sorry APA):

"Kabbalah says that the Bible is a compete code. When this biblical code is cracked awesome spiritual forces empower us to change our lives and transform our world.
That's how the Israelites parted the Red Sea!"

The Israelites used the 72 names of God, embedded in three verses with 72 letters each, to create what we call a real Miracle

Those 72 names are not common names like James or Monica, they are combination of letters that unleash the power of Creation for humans to attain control over the physical world.
According to this principle, humans don't need God's assistance and He never answers prayers, "it is people who answer their own prayers by knowing how to connect to and utilize the divine energy of the Creator and the God-like force in their own souls"
This miraculous power can be found in the 72 names of God.

"But before you master human nature, you need to know a bit more about it. Before you find the Light, you must discover the Light's hiding spot. When we work to find the Light, we feel a sense of accomplishment, we feel responsible of our own happiness. We feel like God, especially when we receive endless happiness as part of the package.

And where is the Light hiding?
According to Kabbalah, humans were created with two distinct aspects to their nature: darkness and Light. Darkness is human ego...and that's where the Light hides!
The Light is the human Soul, which is obscured by ego

The purpose of life is to allow the full intensity of the Light to shine in your life and this world, you have two ways to conduct your life:
- Through your ego
- Through your soul.

Your only free will is to chose between your egocentric reactive nature or your proactive selfless soul"

(How are we doing so far? Does it ring a bell somewhere?)

So, what Kaf Lamed Yud is?

Is one of the 72 names of God.
"The 72 names of God works at the DNA level of the soul, at what physicists call the quantum level or reality.
The 72 names of God targets our ego from a proactive standpoint: you must connect with the soul of the other through unconditional Love and Light for the names to work for you.
They are different combinations of three letters that project energy into the physical world, each one transmit a particular spiritual influence into your life.
The three letters signify three forces
-A positive charge
-A negative charge
-A ground wire

For those names to work you must believe they work, you must understand what the particular name you are using is for, you must follow through with a physical action to activate it's power"

In the book The 72 Names of God Yehuda Berg explains each and every one of the names with an insight, a short explanation of what the name means and what it can be used for and a meditation to visualize while we recite the name in silence or aloud, whatever the way that fits better for us.


What Kaf Lamed Yud is for:

"FERTILITY" (kind of Shaddai but not quite)
The insight: It is not only about giving birth to children, but new ideas and business solutions require the divine force of fertility. Fertile minds and fertile bodies bring forth the kinds of miracles and blessings that lead us to fulfillment.
The meditation: Abundance and fruitfulness fill your being. You are imbued with the power of procreation.

As kabbalist often say: you may or may not believe a word I say, but why not checking it out and see if it works.
An open mind is all it's needed which sometimes is not easy thing to do...

In any case, that's what my blog's name means but be aware that I may change it often cause I want it to reflect a part of me that is in the works at any given time...

By the way The 72 Names of God is a great coffee-table book, nice pictures and simplistic layout and yet it has a profound content. It's so well thought it's one of my favorite things to give as a gift.
Gahl Sasson's book: A Wish Can Change Your Life is an amazing book as well, but the content is not as simplistic as the other one. Gahl is the 'cycle/myths astrologer' every single thing he says is followed by a minimum of 4 mythic figures from different cultures that he explains to make his point.
I love it but not everyone can swallow so much information -although the writing is not complicated at all- in what can be called a very special self-help book (how to utilize the energy of the Tree of Life in achieving your dreams, how about that!)

OK, time to check how the Oscars are doing!
