part 2 - Havaya

We as a measly metaphor, it seems that in parts 1 and 2 you are trying to encourage us humanoids to think from a slightly higher and more spiritual plane/level/perspective. We certainly are not going to understand creation as G-d understands it, however we can try, and by trying we do take our thoughts on Creation up a notch or two. set
Thanks for bringing us along slowly. Every two words of the Shema is overflowing with meaning. I admit that I don't catch it all. But I do think that I am getting in touch with the important theme of the Shema as you have understood it. I like the information about focusing on the Havaya Name, that we should be thinking on as the third word. Your understanding appeals very much. I am looking forward to part 3.
Thanks.

Shema

Excellent way to express and understand our creation and thoughts. Very comforting. Wonderful way of delivery.
I love listening to every part of the Shema meditaitons. Please keep this posted. Great teaching tool and helps make doubts subside.
