The First Word in the Bible is Missing

It just struck me that the first word in the Bible is missing. That word is the Ineffable. Jewish mystics, as you know, have a very high view of the Most High God. I learned from Rabbi David A. Cooper (God is a Verb) that they haven't a name for that God. Kinds of descriptions, yes, but no name, for "name" means nature, and the nature of the Most High is indescribable. "It" is totally incomprehensible. So they call It "the Ineffable."

Rabbi Cooper taught me that it was the Ineffable who created the God we can know, YHVH Elohim. It took me some mental wrestling (and many Neville Goddard lectures) to figure out that YHWH is not a word but a pattern, the pattern of the Ineffable's manifesting that indicates Its existence and nature. And that pattern is us.

Victor Alexander brought to light that Elohim is a singular word compounded with a plural ending: the Strength above the Flames. The Strength is the Ineffable, flowing as YHWH through the flames of Glory. We (the consciousnesses/spirit God imbued humans with) are flames of that Glory.

Victor Alexander also points out that the connotation of Beresheeth, the first word in the text of Genesis, means before the beginning. Cooper had said the connotation was 'as' or 'with' a beginning: "With (or as) a beginning, the Ineffable created God . . ."

As I said, it just struck me that the first word in the text is missing. Moses not only assumed that there is a God, he didn't even "eff" it: "(The Ineffable), beginning, created God, the Heavens, and the Earth." These three are how the Ineffable began the action that is the universe, all dimensions of space and time, and all that is beyond experience and comprehension. Again, I believe that the first verse in the Bible is:

(The Ineffable), beginning, created God, the Heavens, and the Earth.
