The attribute associated to that name is what we are
after. It is what we are looking to
emulate. G-d is G-d so it is imperative
for us to make ourselves like G-d. We
are to attain the name/attribute.
Kabbalist have a saying, “what we do not attain we do not
know by name.” We cannot name something
we have not attained. Meaning we cannot
name what we cannot understand. In order
to understand we must be able to implement or apply. So the name of something requires us to
apprehend an intimacy with that something.
Saying names like Jehovah, Yahovah,
Yah, HaShem, Adonai, or any other name does not guaranteed the speaking
has an attainment associated to that name.
Yet many of us think a person is somehow “holy” because of uttering such
names. Or worse yet think they are more
“holy” simply because they speak that name.
Our society is quick to throughout names of things it really
has no knowledge of simply to create an illusion of knowledge. In the spiritual we cannot do that.
