Question: What is the depth of a word?

Answer: A word is a universe; a word is everything. “In the beginning was the word.”

Question: So you are saying that it contains the universe within itself?

Answer: Yes, in general, this word is “Yod‑Hey‑Vav‑Hey.”

This is the four‑letter name of the Creator, which explains the four stages through which the upper emanation descends upon His creation. That is the word, and everything else comes from it.

Question: If you say that “everything else comes from it,” does it mean this word present in every word, in every action, in absolutely everything?

Answer: In everything! Yod‑Hey‑Vav‑Hey includes absolutely everything.

Question: What kind of magic is this? What kind of secret? What are these four letters that are in everything, absolutely everything?

Answer: This is the name of the Creator. In other words, it includes the four stages of the spreading of the light from the Creator Himself to all creations.

Question: So the light exists practically in every word, in every action, and in everything?

Answer: Yes. And this word includes within itself all words; absolutely everything, everything that happens.

Question: This name of the Creator includes everything?

Answer: Yes.

Question: These are four letters. What does the first letter, “Yod – י,” mean?

Answer: “Yod – י“Yod is the source of the light. ״Hey – ״ה is the expansion of the light. ״Vav – ״ו  is its descent downward. And the last ״Hey – ״ה is the clothing of the light in the lower ones that already exist.

Question: It is said that one must not pronounce the name of the Creator. What do they mean by this?

Answer: In principle, you cannot pronounce it anyway no matter how hard you might try. It is because these are merely letters, and this word, in and of itself, it is not a word. It is simply a code.

Question: Are we saying “Yod‑Hey‑Vav‑Hey” is a code?

Answer: Yes, it is a code.

Question: And when it is said that it is forbidden to pronounce the name of the Creator?

Answer: This means that one must not try to name His action. Because, in principle, it is hidden from a person. So do not try to do this. “Forbidden” here means “impossible.”
