Question:
1) Our entire perception in Hashem (in atzmus, in His essence) is not actually in His actual atzmuso but to perceive His Name, for “No thought can comprehend Him at all”, and the most we can comprehend of Hashem is His most essential Name that is unified with His essence. Is His most essential name the name of havayah (H-V-Y-H) יהו"הor is it the name that He will be known in the future which is אהי"ה Ehyeh (E-H-Y-H)
Answer:
The name of havayah. Chazal taught that before creation, “He and His name were one alone”. The name of אהי"ה Ehyeh “I will be” connotes that there is something else besides His name, hence it cannot be His primary essential name.
Question:
Although “No thought can comprehend Him at all”, does that only mean that our thoughts cannot grasp Him, but through our heart we can indeed comprehend His essence?
Answer:
The heart can recognize and feel the existence of His “hidden havayah”.
Question:
Can the heart feel the Infinite Light, which is His revelation, or can it feel even atzmuso, His actual essence?
Answer:
Same answer as before. However, it is not possible to grasp His actual mahus (concept) because it is undefinable. However, the level below that is the ohr EinSof, in which we can define what ohr is, and what EinSof means, and what the Ten Hidden Sefiros within the ohr EinSof are.
