כדמיון גוף האילןThe Trunk of the Tree

ki-dimyon guf ha-ilanIn Gamatria ↗

Move the trunk, and every leaf in heaven trembles.

YHVH, Tiferet at the center, is the pillar that all the upper and lower sefirot hold onto. The introduction already says it: YHVH is the trunk of a tree, Ehyeh its root, and every other name a branch or leaf that bears its own fruit. Since every name is included in YHVH, saying it means carrying all of them on your tongue, which is why it must never be said in vain. Shake a tree's central bough and every branch and leaf trembles. Say the Name carelessly and the heavens shake and recall your sins. When the High Priest said it in the Temple, all the hosts rejoiced and received blessing.
