WHOEVER ~ I have a Name if You Know It
רוח הקודש
September 2025
The cornerstone of this metaphysical poem is a line contained within the fourth verse of the 30th Chapter of the Book of Proverbs in the Tanakh, or as it is known by Christians, the Old or Older Testament ~ I have a Name if you know it.
This is a difficult piece to edit. The assurance of decades past is replaced by a deep unsettling. Life is now definitely finite. That is no problem. It is the inevitable outcome, no matter how life has been lived. I do not envisage balance sheets. I do not imagine Judgment Day.
I do have a curious awareness that the soul and the spirit might be equally indestructible.
I look around me in 2025. It is far worse than I imagined it might be have been when I wondered about the future ten years ago, two decades ago, and on that night in Liverpool thousands of us counted down the final seconds outside the Anglican Cathedral.
Along the other end of Hope Street, we were doing the exact same thing at the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.
And if I draw a second line from either Cathedral down to the Docks, and thence back up the hill we call Parliament Street, the same there, too.
This reflected the hope of nations throughout the world as they took that first confident step into this Century.
We now know, alas, that very dark, very sinister and indeed very evil minds were, and are, at play. Without check. Without balance.
We can no longer regard as friends those we regarded almost as kin. That has proved to be an absolute fallacy.
This piece was written by imagining anyone trying to find answers to questions of some being, some god, some deity, even some ‘thing’.
The composition lies in that root I’ve quoted from the bible ~ my start-point. It is from that angle by which the composition is viewed, at least through my own eyes.
That presents a problem in September 2025.
I sum it up simply in this phrase…
How can the Jewish People both in Israel and the Diaspora be doing the very thing that was being done to them in the Holocaust?
Even more worryingly, why does not one single media celebrity ~ there are dozens of self-appointed such people in the United Kingdom on salaries that double that of the UK prime minister and every UK secretary of state ~ not state this clearly and bluntly?
No one in government is beyond their touch. They are akin to the knitting baskets at the foot of the Guillotine in the French Revolution.
THAT is the question and these are the problems.

WHOEVER ~ I Have a Name if You Know It
Yes, you see Me,
An aspect of Me.
We appear as each
perceives Us.
Wings?
No.
And of course
I don't mind you asking!
I want you to ask!
Ask Me all the questions you like,
for then you are searching,
enquiring,
planning out your life and future
and with Me as your anchor
in whatever way you perceive Me.
I AM.
I AM also The Ruach HaKodesh
The Holy Spirit
The Comforter
I AM in the wind
Und er sprach und
Ich Bin Der Heilige Geist.
Ich war zum Schweigen.
Ich konnte mich nicht bewegen.
Ich hatte keinen Wunsch,
mich zu bewegen.
You know not where the wind
comes from.
Yet you do not question it,
You accept it. [i]
Well then accept Me!
Yes, sure.
I AM your conscience, too.
Who AM I?
I AM.
I AM The Eternal Self-Existing One.
I AM Spirit.
I AM the very essence and being
of the Creator.
You know Me more as
The LORD G-D Almighty,
El Shaddai,
Yeshua HamMashiach
Melek Yizra'el,
Hey-zoos, Jesus
Jey-tsu Christos.
You are spirit
I AM Spirit - The Ruach
רוח הקודש
So to Me and of Me
there is no beginning
and no end.
I AM the Alpha,
I AM the Omega,
The Beginning and the End
But of course, I do not end.
So just as I exist forever,
so you exist forever.
No, hold on.
Pause. Take in what I have just said.
Let this thought immerse into your inner being and do not place biblical constraint upon it.
You see three dimensions,
You can see a fourth dimension
though most would prefer not to...
But consider a thousand dimensions,
And even then
You only touch the surface
of…
what is,
what will be,
what has been,
what will come again.
My advice?
It is good that you ask Me.
I was asked on one occasion
by what authority I healed on the Shabbat …
The answer is clear …
I will have compassion upon whom I will have compassion
and I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy
says YHWH
[ii]
Yes - Hebrew for My Name
I AM WHO I AM
Again, I'm glad you asked
My point was simple.
I was quoting to these eminent men
a scripture that was tantamount to saying
that not only was I equal to Adonai,
but that I was Adonai, El Shaddai.
Haha! Yes. That’s good…
You put it well.
It certainly did put the cat amongst the pigeons!
Think of your office fan ...
You can see it has three blades
and three speeds…
At the first speed, the blades are evident.
At the second speed, they remain evident but are now one.
At the third speed, they have gone.
But in its place is a wind, a current of air!
Liken that to seeing your life
and your spirit.
The airflow is an illustration of My Spirit,
and you will begin to get a handle on life.
I leave you now.
It has been a joy to see your enquiring mind.
Always ask questions.
Always teach your children to ask questions.
I AM has set you the precedent,
that beautiful allegory.
Just three questions, albeit an allegory, an allusion… yes, that’s okay… a fairytale, even!
Adam where are you?
Who told you you were naked?
WHAT is this you have done?
Be a light to all around you.
Allow Me to indwell you,
And do not be put off by those
who insist on tying you down
to misinterpretation.
Be your own man
Be your own woman
Be your own person
Selah
