THE HOLY TETRAGRAMMATON

the tetragrammaton is a five part word! not 4!

the YOD is 2 parts. the first is KUTZO SHEL YOD - the tip of yod. this signifies the tiny invisible dot that connects everything to the spiritual realms and G-d.

next is the YOD itself, the first letter symbolizes, reduction or ZIMZUM. you must understand that the tetragrammaton symbolizes the process of creation as it occurs in everything.

like when a man and a woman bring a child. they first reduce themselvs or thier essence to a sperm cell or an egg. like a tree reduces itself to a seed.

the next letter is HEY, but if not used for holy purposes we jews spell and pronounce it as KAY, so this letter symbolizes growth and expantion, just as the embrio grows in the womb.

the next letter is VAV. its a straight line drawn from the top to bottom, it symbolizes, bringing something forth, from heaven to earth, down the utteres canal into the world.

then comes KAY again, to symbolize the secondery growth, a baby grows till maturity.

that is the tetragrammaton. everything in existance was created, is created and will be created according to the principles of that 4 letter word.
