“Eheyeh asher Eheyehâ€
“I WILL BE THAT WHICH I WILL BE1â€
calls the voice from the Burning Bush2
THE NAME OF GOD
Is Potential— and retroactive— and recursive
I AM: QUEST FOR INFINITUDE
I AM: QUEST FOR ALL-ETERNITY
I AM: QUEST FOR FULFILLMENT
I AM QUEST FOR POTENTIAL∞

Nature abhors a vacuum
– axiom from physics (~noted prior )
Proto-Q4F set up a proto-vacuum3 in the reality–void
And, reality-voids abhor a vacuum
——————- NOTES by KHALIL ——————-
1 I WILL BE A: G-d is only asked directly to identify Himself by name one time in the Tanach. And He answers twice. In Exodus 3:14 G-d identifies Himself as both “I will be that which I will be†and then, in the same verse, more concisely as “I will be.†The importance of this revelation is clear from the Biblical context, but what does it mean?
2 I WILL BE B: The context of the dialogue between Hashem and Moses is almost as important as the dialogue itself. Moses poses his question to G-d on behalf of the Jewish slaves (he will ask to know G-d for his own sake while atop Mt. Sinai, Exodus 33:13). According to the Midrash, the Jews at this point were at a historically low spiritual level. And liberation is imminent. It is therefore clear that the potential of the Jews (a spiritually deprived people on the verge of redemption) at this moment was maximal, and it is not a coincidence that G-d identifies Himself to the Jewish slaves via Moses at this moment, as ‘I–will–be.’
3 Proto–vacuum: Just as the individual seeks elevation in the framework of Q4F, so does the cosmos. It was therefore the initial absence of fulfillment sensed by the pre–cosmos that was so inherently, viscerally abhorrent— just as an absence of love, for example, is abhorrent to an individual. The result was a resolute ‘escape–release’ in the form of creation, a’ la Solomon Birnbaum’s formulation, noted in the text, that “the void could not ‘take it’ anymoreâ€.
