    Dear Peter,

    >>Which, in turn, makes me wonder the true need for studying
    such divine names upon a mundane, and often intellectual, level of
    consciousness?<<

    I was using this contemplation of the 72-fold name as practice for
    one-pointedness - it beats imagining an orange dot in your mind's eye
    for 10 minutes ;)

    >> Also, with regards to the 72 fold name, with a little bit of
    fiddling, the Tetragramaton of IHVH can have the numerial value of 72.

    I 10 = 10
    IH 10+5 = 15
    IHV 10+5+6 = 21
    IHVH 10+5+6+5 = 26
    10+15+21+26 = 72<<

    I note that 7+2 = 9, the number of "foundation" (also, the sum of
    yod+he+vava+he also equals nine). In the Zohar, whilst Elohim
    rules "above", IHVH rules "below" (He rules over the foundation??).
    Also, the hebrew word for light ("Or", spelt aleph, vav, resh) has a
    gematria of nine. Light is the foundation of the sequentialised
    creation process in Genesis one! However, it is interesting to note
    that light is the only thing in Gen 1 that is not created - 'G-d
    said "let there be light" and there was light' (whereas everything
    else is explicilty noted as being created).

    However, the process of creation may not be knowable as the hebrew
    word for secret, raz (resh, zayin), also has a gematria of 9 :)

    Dan
