When I first begun reading about Kabbalah, I found myself quite overwhelmed. Wrapping my brain around the ideas and many characteristics of God was difficult enough let alone learning of the many names of God. From the Monogrammata, which is the one letter "Hey" representing life or breath, to the 304,805 letter name of God, no, I did not make a mistake with that number. And in between are many other variations of Names of God made out of Hebrew letters, derived from the Torah. The 72 names of God is one commonly known by many. But what do they do? Are these esoteric Names of God true spiritual tools or just hocus pocus nonsense.
The word Kabbalah means both "tradition" and "receiving". I have read books on the subject and followed a few classes. The 72 names of God are made out of the combination of three Hebrew letters and derived from Exodus. It is said that Moses used a formula to overcome the laws of nature and part the Red Sea and that formula was the 72 Names of God. Each Name is said to have a strong spiritual effect on the person gazing upon its letters or wearing them on a charm or pendant. You can find many explanation on the internet about the 72 Names, go ahead browse, you might believe in the power of the Names, or not. What truly matters is just that, your belief system.
I know one thing to be true, as true as the sun rising every morning, as real as the air that I breath. Unwavering faith, absolute certainty, the absence of doubt, can move the Universe to bring you what ever you want or need. Whether it be a Cross, a horse shoe, a religious icon, or one of the 72 Names of God you use to reinforce your faith, these all can work as tools to create miracles in your life. Some people may not require any tools to perform miracles but most of us still need the outside help as we still are infants when it comes to understanding our own inner spiritual power and spiritual nature. In any case, when you meditate on any one of the 72 Names or wear it, you will expect miracles, and miracles will occur. Was it the 72 Names or your expectation that manifested your miracle?
But there is more to the 72 Names than just a spiritual tool. It is powerful and can bring about amazing spiritual experiences, only few who have reached great wisdom and spiritual enlightenment can tap into its powerful force. For the rest of us, the 72 Names is not lost. Meditating on it with the intent for good, will bring light and comfort as well as focus, and that in turn will create change in our life.
In conclusion, I find myself pondering on this: there is faith and there is truth. Faith is the belief in things not yet proven to be true. Truth is a known fact. But when I have witnessed absolute faith creating miracles in my own life, it has become my truth. Faith and Truth then intertwined, perhaps they are one and the same after all, and the 72 Names of God I gazed upon to "receive" enlightenment no longer seemed just hocus pocus nonsense.
