Erasing the Name
Erasing the Name: The Devotional Fire of En Sof
By David Chaim Smith
“Perception can be offered as a prayer, and the sense of transcendent perceptibility can be received as its sacrament. In this exchange En Sof is the main consideration, as its potency is expressed through you and as you. The named identity is what is erased. This portal to nowhere is love-in-itself. Loving as an action dissolves there. What remains is free.”
Erasing the Name introduces the reader to a mode of devotional contemplation that invites the mind into immersive surrender within an all-consuming love of the divine mystery. The work builds esoteric knowledge (daat) through a maze of diagrams and poetic passages so what is gathered can be released within what Kabbalists call En Sof (the infinite). This opens a doorway that allows discursive consciousness to dissolve into the sublime expanse that fills and surrounds all phenomena.
