The Yahweh contradiction

[loostudent]

The quote I used was from Israel Regardie’s Garden of Pomegranates. I believe he was using the same sources, Reuchlin and Mirandola, but Regardie is not too kindly towards the Christian cabbalists. He was defending the Qabalistic / Hebrew philosophy and criticizing the attempts to fit the Christian trinity into the Tetragrammaton, which Regardie says does not work. As YHVH represent the Father, Mother, Son, Daughter principles. Shin being the Holy Spirit. The Christian trinity lacks the Daughter.

So Regardie adopted some Christian cabbalistic symbolism despite criticism. "Father" in Holy Trinity is a name for God (God itself transcends distinction between sexes). The meaning of YHVH can be multifaceted but no facet can fully contain the Infinite Creator ... Besides that there is also a lot of triadic symbolism - the three pillars for example (and three triades inside pillars). Another triad in Jewish Kabbala is Ayin, Ein Sof, Ohr Ein Sof.
