There is great power in words.  I do not think it is a mistake that people read and reread texts they hold sacred over and over again.  Perhaps you have known the experience of rereading something and seeing things you did not see before.  We feel a sense of relief when we have words to name and describe our experiences.  The first thing couples are asked when they find out they are expecting is if they have any names picked out.  When we get a new animal the owners have to come to a decision on a name for their new pet.  It has been scientifically proven that human beings love hearing the sound of our own names.  We feel pressure to pronounce the name of someone we are interacting with correctly.  The one who names something is considered the founder whether it is a company, invention or medical diagnosis.  The name of God while not the same for each religious or spiritual practice, is typically held in high regard and used with respecting and reverence.  Naming is more than letters put together to form a word.  It is an identification.  It is an orientation and a way of connecting.  The sounding of a name creates a vibration and leaves a resonance after the word has left the voice of the person speaking it.  Naming is a chance to make a connection with someone or something.  God’s name is written on our hearts.  When we venture to connect with the truth of who we are we experience the vibration of love’s deep claim on our being.  The claim has been there since God wrote our names on God’s heart.  It’s God’s way of showing respect and reverence not only for our names but for our very being.
