Combining Two Sacred Names of God

On what I suppose you would have to term an 'intuitive' basis, I would submit that the ancient Hebrew name for their god was based on the sound of the breath, inhale and exhale:

Inhale: Eeeeahhhhhohhh Exhale: Hooowehhhhehhhh
This sound runs a 'circle' through all the vowels -- I A O U E
('i' pronounced 'eee', 'a' pronounced 'ahhh', 'o' pronounced 'ohhhh',
'u' pronounced 'oooo', 'e' pronounced 'ehhhhh')


The reason for this was simple: it was everyone's desire to die with God's name on their lips. What was easier than to make God's name the sound of the breath itself? The irony also is what better place to 'hide' the name of God than the last place anyone would look - where everyone sounds it thousands of times daily? I have to smile when I think of the irony! It wasn't that the 'Name of God' was not allowed to be spoken. It's just that when someone asked, "What is the name of God?" the rabbi would reply by breathing. The listener assumed that the response was a silent one, and thus that he was trespassing on forbidden ground. Over time it became a tradition to understand that the Name of God was never to be uttered aloud when, in fact, it was 'spoken' on every breath. How much funnier can it get?

Now, looking at a competing name that came along later, "Allah", I would submit that 'Ah-lah-lah-lah' is based on the heartbeat - the pulse - also a good idea for the name of God inasmuch as it's the last 'sound' the body makes before ceasing to exist. So here we are with an ancient argument. "God's name is the breath!" "No, God's name is the heartbeat!"

This has led to a lot of difficulties, with both sides forgetting a long time ago what the argument was originally about.

I have therefore suggested a new name for God that combines both: Eaaahhhwahhhooowehhh-la-la-la-la

Inhale: Eaaahhhohh
Exhale: Hooowehhh-la-la-la-la (the la's on the pulse)

Anyway, I wonder if anyone else has caught onto the 'breath' connection. If you know of someone I could write to about this, let me know!

While we're on this topic, I also prefer 'Yahushua' for Jesus. Use of the correct 'sound' I believe is evocative when praying to an entity, and I think praying to "Gee-ziz" tends to send the prayer to the Great Mother Eesiss (Isis), which is sort of funny when you think of all these Southern Baptists sending up their hosannahs to the great Egyptian mother goddess.

Happy Birthday to Yahushua, Incarnating Sun of the Galactic Breath!
