G-D Gate

The Secret Of Gedaliah.

Contrary to common knowledge, Gedaliah's name is not from the 3-letter hebrew root, gimel-dalet-lamed, meaning "great" (gadol). Rather, it is from the root, gimel-dalet-hey, meaning "to separate and divide". Significantly, both of these roots are composed of 3 letters (thesis [G], antithesis [D], and synthesis [L / H]).

In other words, though Gedaliah seems great (L) and expresses seeming teshuvah (H), his "synthetic" great teshuvah lacks connection to truth (Vav) and in consequence, to proper judgment through the choshen mishpat, the kohen gadol's breastplate of proper judgment (tet). This truth (allowing proper judgment) is found only by rectification of the yetzer hara (the al-hara'ah, meaning "over evil", of Yonah 4:2) and its transformation into the shepherd of redemption. This transformation is achieved through permuting the word "al" (of "over evil") into vav-hey-pey-dalet-hey (which means "and redeemed"), and by changing the cantillations of hara'ah into haro'eh [Shemot 48:15] in truth [Shemot 34:6].

This is the truth "missing" in Yonah 4:2, as it pertains to the 13 attributes of Hashem's mercy - the mercy which liberates (Sefer Shemot) in contradistinction to mercy which abrogates divine judgment (Sefer Yonah).

From this rectification and transformation of the yetzer hara/the shepherd comes its elevation. Elevation is achieved through transformation (from the position of a deeper 2-letter "root" - a "gate" as described by Sefer Yetzirah) of the 3-letter root of Gedaliah (GDH) meaning "divide", into the root gimel-vav-dalet (GVD) meaning "connect". Interestingly, the 2-letter gate (the 50th gate of understanding, made of rectified scorpion energy) from which this transformation proceeds is G-D. The G-D gate.

GVD is the root for the word "gid" (gimel-yod-dalet) of gid hanashe (symbolic of the yetzer hara, the evil inclination). Hanashe is from the same root as Menashe (whose name means "to cause to forget"). Consequently, this rectification of the yetzer hara is also the rectification of the "evil" Menashe (and vindication of Yosef HaNavi) - as the yod (hand) extends (gid -> gvd) with truth (vav), also an ability of the "gate of G-D". In note, this little bit of truth may be why many religious people write the english word for Hashem (God), G-D, without even knowing it.

The remaining letters of Gedaliah's name, those not of the root GDH, (LYH) lamed-yod-hey (meaning belonging to Y-ah), suggest that Gedaliah's "sin" is attempted theft (separating VH from YH) of that "belonging to Y-ah (G-D)". The divine name Y-ah is associated with the Satan (the accuser) and the yetzer hara according to R. Avraham Abulafia. Consequently, Gedaliah's error is also a failure to elevate his yetzer hara to Y-ah (G-D).

... as the shepherd belonging to Y-ah raises her hand ... to understand with complete emunah ...

Ha'rem Y-ah is a sign of true teshuvah (represented by tav, the seal of truth) and solves the secret (solves the dream of exile to reveal the dream of redemption) of David HaMelech's riddle written on the doors (the 2 dalets of the 2 roots GDL and GDH) of the (G-D) gate (1 Shmuel 21:13-14), and pertains to actualizing a "complete and true" yetzer, the yetzer temimut. Solving the riddle evidences complete and true sanctification of the mind, allowing its "connection" to G-D, enabling and resulting in the unification of Adam (ADaM). From this unification, comes the Torah of Mashiach.

Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai echadd. Gimel, dalet, lamed, hey, vav (GDLHV) - these are the 5 stones of transformation of the yetzer hara. They are also the 5 stones fused into one complete stone in David's slingslot - complete truth, the only stone able to slay Goliath (the giant standing in the way of geulah, complete and true redemption).

GDLHV = 3 + 4 + 30 + 5 + 6 = 48.

Forty-eight has a digit sum reduced value (4 + 8) of 12. And this is how the 5 stones, fused into 1 (echad) number (12) unifies the 12 tribes of Yisrael (down to the level of Yetzirah). Further reduction (to the level of Asiyah) is 1 + 2 = 3 = gimel, the 1-letter light-vessel of chesed, and consequently, of the bat kohen.

Remember, G-D has made me to remember with steadfast love.

I will be what I will be. Ey-yeh Asher Eh-yeh.

The Glory of G-D is to conceal a thing. The glory of a King is find it out.
Mishlei 25:2
And the glory of a Talmidah Chachamah is a light to the nations.
Yishayahu 42:6, 49:6
