    No, no, not rambling on at all. I thank you for your elaboration. It
    is helpful to me and believe me there are others who are getting
    something from it.

    But in 'particular' I wondered if you could elaborate on this
    specific section for me to explain what you meant please;

    meditate on the tetragrammaton itself and its
    significance

    I think this is where you are using a sentence where it means all
    the world to you 'but' each of us may be seeing the relavance of the
    word 'tetragrammaton' from our own experiential level with our own
    description attached to it, but what exactly do 'you' mean when you
    use the tetragrammaton in the meditation please?

    Thanks

    I wish you well
    Chuck
