The Meaning and Metaphysics of Allaha

The Aramaic word for 'God' is Allaha. It is closely related to the Hebrew 'Elohim.' The Aramaic word for YHWH (Hashem, Jehovah and Yahweh in their myriad forms) is Maryah. Maryah simply means 'lord' as master, but has been retired from any use but 'Lord' as God.

'Allaha' represents Allahoota, the Godhead of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. When scripture says 'Allaha,' you are getting the whole package. All of God -- Allaha -- is one thing, one being. We make distinctions of his forms and methods, levels and activities in order to make sense of it all. It is hard for us to put it all together.

I know that my blog is read by people interested in manifesting things and situations for themselves. I am not. I am interested in the metaphysics of the Big Guy, the Ineffable Most High Beyond-Being of whom we are. If he does not pique your interest, I am at a loss as to explain you. There is not anything else that matters. All that is the Ineffable is extended from ourselves. Why are we not more like him? We are him in what he is doing right here and right now. He is us in this we are doing. We just cannot see the rest, yet.

Anyway, because of my interest in metaphysics I enjoyed Victor Alexander's explanation of the meaning of Allaha (http://www.v-a.com/revelations-of-the-milta.html):

The Meaning of Allaha

The Bible begins with the creation of our world in simple terms. It depicts the birth of Adam and Eve as two human beings in Paradise -- a perfect world where the first man and the first woman live in harmony with all the other creatures. In this world no one grows old or dies. All knowledge is good. There is one ruler, who is portrayed as Allaha (God in English.)

The word Allaha itself, in the language of the Scriptures, represents the Light that was the spark of the world. 'Al' means 'over' and 'la-ha' means the flame; in other words, 'Above the Light,' 'Above the Flame,' 'Above All,' or 'The Creator.'

The original Light was depicted as the ruler of Paradise. This is what the word 'Allaha' means. This word is different in almost all the languages of the world, because it is described according to the cultural perspective of the people that believe in the whole concept of 'creation.'

The Bible is written in such simple terms it is hard to associate its images with the complexity of the metaphysical REALITY. Adam and Eve appear to be two historical people until one realizes that they are one person existent in imagination only. Consciousness alone, actually. They live in harmony with natures that are only defined, as they themselves (Adam and Eve) are. In this world which is to be, there is one ruler: Allaha. Let's try to pull together the ideas about Allaha.

Alexander provides us a challenge: Allaha represents the Light or Flame which was the spark of the world. Yet it means Above-the-Light. The Light is the ruler of Paradise, as is Allaha. What is this aboveness and being?

Let me insist that by 'spark' is meant imagination. The spark by which anything comes about is imagination. Ideas ignight. The intelligence (Light) of the Ineffable is power to become, and it becomes whatever it believes it is in imagining. The Ineffable imagines, and imagining is the spark which ignights intelligence into being. This seems straightforward enough to me that even I can understand it.

The imagination of the Ineffable Most High is the spark of his intelligence/Light becoming. It is ruler of the world, Allaha. But Allaha is the WHOLE of the Godhead. It includes the Ineffable IMAGINER, the imagining Consciousness, and the Manifestation imagined. Thus it is above the Light and is the Light, and is us. This is why we pray with the idea of "Dad" in our minds and our unity with him, and why prayer is imagining with faith. Even I can understand it.
