Hear O Israel, G‑d is our G‑d , G‑d is One.

“Hear” means to understand. To meditate deeply.

“Israel” is the name of your soul, the breath of G‑d within you.

Then, the four-letter name of G‑d.

What is that name? It is a combination of the three forms of the verb “to be”—so that it means “is, was, will be” all in a single moment, entirely transcending time— yet providing existence to time and all that occurs within it.

Then, another name of G‑d, a name that refers to His power over heaven and earth, as He is found within the forces of nature. But in the possessive form: “our power.”

And then we return to the four-letter name, this time as this name is within you. For your soul and G‑d merge as One.

You must say to your soul:

Listen, my soul, and meditate upon this:

Your power comes from Beyond Time.

You, my soul, merge with G‑d as One.
