Blavatsky, H. P. (Helena Petrovna)
Theosophy
For, the true meaning of the compound name of Jehovah—of which, unvoweled,
you can make almost anything—is: men and women, or humanity composed of
its two sexes. From the first chapter to the end of the fourth chapter of
_Genesis_ every name is a permutation of another name, and every personage
is at the same time somebody else. A Kabalist traces Jehovah from the Adam
of earth to Seth, the third son—or rather race—of Adam.(348) Thus Seth is
Jehovah male; and Enos, being a permutation of Cain and Abel, is Jehovah
male and female, or our mankind. The Hindu Brahmâ‐Virâj, Virâj‐Manu, and
Manu‐Vaivasvata, with his daughter and wife, Vâch, present the greatest
analogy with these personages—for anyone who will take the trouble of
studying the subject in both the _Bible_ and the _Purânas_. It is said of
Brahmâ that he created himself as Manu, and that he was born of, and was
identical with, his original self, while he constituted the female portion
“Shata‐rûpâ” (hundred‐formed). In this Hindu Eve, “the mother of all
living beings,” Brahmâ created Virâj, who is himself, but on a lower
scale, as Cain is Jehovah on an inferior scale: both are the first males
of the Third Race. The same idea is illustrated in the Hebrew name of God
(יהוה) Read from right to left “Jod” (י) is the father, “He” (ה) the
mother, “Vau” (ו) the son, and “He” (ה), repeated at the end of the word,
is generation, the act of birth, materiality. This is surely a sufficient
reason why the God of the Jews and Christians should be personal, as much
as the male Brahmâ, Vishnu, or Shiva of the orthodox, exoteric Hindu.
Thus the term of Jhvh alone—now accepted as the name of “One living [male]
God”—will yield, if seriously studied, not only the whole mystery of
_Being_ (in the Biblical sense,) but also that of the Occult Theogony,
from the highest divine Being, the third in order, down to man. As shown
by the best Hebraists:
The verbal היה, or Hâyâh, or E‐y‐e, means _to be_, _to exist_,
while חיה or Châyâh, or H‐y‐e, means _to live_, as _motion of
existence_.(349)
