Introduction to TTR

Feel free to begin answering questions. Ideally, answerers should have in mind the Torah reference.

Primary reference: JPS’s *Etz Khayim.*

"God" in Hebrew will be referred to as "One" or one of the following:
QIYA (f) = the mind of our parent planet. Not alive? But you and I are part of Her, so how could She not be alive?
AMEN (m) = the mind of our solar system. Also inanimate? But the earth is part of Him, so how could He not have His own consciousness - one well above ours.
HOME (f) = our galaxy. If you believe She's just a pretty collection of stars, then you haven't been paying attention.
EXIS (m) = our universe.

When I refer to that which applies to them all or when the Hebrew Bible uses the four letters that is written in English, "LORD," I will use: YHVH.

QIYA, AMEN, HOME, and EXIS are all subsumed within YHVH – which continues to include that which we may not yet know of.

To avoid referring to the Almighty as a He, She, or It, I've adopted the following pronouns:
“Ze” - YHVH’s subject pronoun;
“Heer” - YHVH’s object pronoun;
“Heers” - Heers possessive pronoun.

Another reference frequently used:  *Schottenstein Edition Interlinear Khumash* by Mesorah Publications.

But any Bible you have to reference will be just as adequate as those referred to above. What matters is the questions the Bible is asking, and what our answers to those questions are today.

Enjoy!

Doesn't the unexplained indicate the power of YHVH?
