Now we come to Schemou, translated as "His Name." But in order not to lose the thread of the first
phrase of The Sepher Yetsira, let us summarise it by substituting the meaning (so to speak, the
infinite meaning of these equations) for the words that serve our purpose: By thirty-two intermediaries
YHWY projects Schem.
Schemou (Sheen-Mem-Waw: 300.40.6) is such a shrewd digest that it has given rise to the notion that
every individual is a personification of the name he bears, a notion whose origin can be seen in the ontological
meaning of the Autiot. Sheen expresses the action of the universal, organic, movement. Mem is the material
of the subject. Waw is the fertilisation of this substance by Sheen. This direct bond between a subject and
living cosmic energy is, as we have seen in this linguistics, its function of the position it occupies in the
hierarchy of structures. The ensembles being countless, when a name is pronounced, it has analogous repercussions
at the same level of structuration throughout the possible entities. If the Qabala is not interpreted with
this way of thinking it is a dead letter and the Bible discloses nothing.
Now the Schem of YHWY-Elohim is at a level of perpetual, intemporal creation, always new, flowing
in space and time, whose nature eludes human awareness. It is, in fact, illustrated by Bara
(Bayt-Raysh-Aleph) which follows Schemou: We Bara
Eth
Oulamou ("created all").

(This is) how Aleph (is) weighed, combined

They return in a circular movement (turn by turn)
to where all that is formed and uttered is found coming out of the One Name.

Therefore, everything formed and everything spoken emanates in one name.

(19b) The result is that all creation and all speech go out by one name.

And a sign for the matter: twenty-two objects and one body.
