In discovering<strong><em> The Real Name of God, <\/em><\/strong>he says, for the first time we can comprehend God&#8217;s wholeness.<\/p>\n<p>Until now we have been limited by the fact that none of the names of God that we know from the Bible, nor any of the names by which God is later identified and known, is God&#8217;s real name.\u00a0 Every God-name reflects only one of God&#8217;s aspects, attributes, or characteristics.\u00a0 None has embodied the wholeness, the totality, the full Essence of God.<\/p>\n<p>By challenging long-held, comfortable beliefs, by re-imagining and re-translating the Biblical text, and by combining quality scholarship with sacred spirit, Rabbi Dosick can now reveal the real name of God that has been hiding from us for all these years&#8211;right in plain sight in the Bible.\u00a0 In fact, the name appears 359 times.<\/p>\n<p>The real name of God leads to the revolutionary revelation of the God of the universe, <em>and <\/em>the  Inner God of breath and soul&#8211;the intimate and the infinite, the  individual and the indivisible.\u00a0 Rabbi Dosick calls this named God the  Divine Beach Ball&#8211;each panel or name reflects one of God&#8217;s attributes,  but taken in total, the Divine Beach Ball presents all of God&#8217;s  unlimited essence.<\/p>\n<p>Rabbi Dosick maintains in <strong><em>The Real Name of God <\/em><\/strong>that God is actually the Everything of the Everything, containing both  genders, and all the seeming contradictions and mysteries of the  universe. The real Name of God is shared by all three Biblically-sourced  religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, affirming our Oneness&#8211;One God.\u00a0 One World. One People.<\/p>\n<p>By  realizing and embracing our Oneness, we can now open ourselves to a  life of communion with fellow man, and help stem the destructive power  of divisiveness.
