Sometimes I think people think, oh, I'm giving this child a name, but that's not really the way

one should be thinking about it.

What should be thinking, this soul already has a name, how can I meditate upon and find the way to connect to,

therefore name it its rightful name.

Welcome to spiritually hungry, summertime episodes.

We're having an amazing summer, as we are, we are very much enjoying our summer.

He doesn't really feel like summer, doesn't? It doesn't. I always thought about that. When you were a kid, right? The summer's like a big deal, two months. When you're an adult, you just continue working. I know. I really feel like I need to, at least the last two weeks of summer, kind of just like not speak to anybody that's a good idea not even me i don't know i haven't decided yet so today we're talking about names and this topic

almost didn't make it to today's episode because uh you didn't think it was a good one.

But luckily we went out. Well, maybe our listeners will let us know if they agree.

Luckily, we went out with our friends Lynn and Mati last night and they thought it was a

great topic.

So we're going to go for it.

Absolutely.

This is my favorite topic so far.

How do you feel about your name? My name? Yeah. It's funny. I always growing up, I had a dual thought, dual thoughts. One was that I didn't, wasn't, I didn't love it, especially in the Hebrew version as a name. Michael? Exactly. But I did know that it was definitely my name. Why didn't you like it then? No, it's other names that I like more. Like I like it named David more. Like these names that I just like, you know. But we know, as we're going to talk about today, the name of anything is not, especially if we're talking about naming our children. It's not about names that we necessarily like or don't like, which maybe is the way most people

name their children or really anything, but rather it's coming to know what is the actual name of the soul.

Yeah, people get really creative even with like taking a traditional name but changing the spelling.

Do you know what your name means? Yes. Do you want to enlighten us? My name is, well, it has many meanings, but basically it is

translated as who is... You're going to pick the one that you like the best. No, no, the one that is

probably most common. Who is like God denoting the power or the force of the light to the creator? So like gift from God? No. Who is like God, denoting the power or the force of the light to the Creator.

So like gift from God?

No.
