The 72 Names of God are not “names” in any ordinary sense. They are a metaphysical formula for connecting to the infinite spiritual current that flows throughout reality. God gave this cutting-edge technology to Moses to be shared with all people, so that humans could unleash their own God-like powers and attain control over the physical world. And the power that drives these letters is revealed again in the energy of this week.
The Thirteen Attributes of Mercy (י״ג מִידּוֹת) or Shelosh-'Esreh Middot HaRakhamim (transliterated from the Hebrew: שְׁלוֹשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵה מִידּוֹת הַרַחֲמִים) as enumerated in the Book of Exodus (Exodus 34:6–7) are the Divine Attributes with which, according to Judaism, God governs the world. According to the explanation of Maimonides these attributes must not be regarded as qualities inherent in God, but as the method of His activity, by which the divine governance appears to the human observer to be controlled.[1] In the Sifre, however, these attributes are not called middot, which may mean "quality"[2] as well as "rule" and "measure", but "derakhim" (ways), since they are the ways of God which Moses prayed to know and which God proclaimed to him.

Hey folks, have been working diligently on my Kabbalah thread as requested by the community. It's become an even more grandiose adventure than expected.
To the meat and potatoes!
I discussed in my previous thread the illusion of 'light' and 'colors'...as we perceive it. So I won't get into that nitty stuff here.
(What is light/color?)
However, I was watching a documentary on Gaia, for background noise more or less, and I overheard someone mentioning there are 72 bricks in the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill. I never knew there were specifically 72 bricks... They didn't go on to explain why, but I didn't need them to. It suddenly hit me in the face, like one of those bricks falling from the pyramids of Giza.
Why 72? What's so important about 72? Well, falling in line with the eye symbology I discussed previously, the base, with it's 72 bricks, represent the 72 names of God.
Now, I don't speak Hebrew what-so-ever, and that's what's been the biggest obstacle in my Kabbalah thread, given I know more in regards to the Hermtic Qabbalah path. But I do remember a story from a facebook friend of mine who I personally asked to mentor me online. He is a Kabbalist Jew, and has been very encouraging and enlightening.
He once told me a story. And this is what made me put the two together. When Moses lead the Jews out of Egypt and split the Red Sea for safe crossing, it is said in the bible a "strong Eastern wind" helped. Well, according to Kabbalist', that's just the tip of the iceberg. And this relates to the more "scientific" realms of Hermeticism and vibration theory. According to Judaism, Moses recited the 72 NAMES OF GOD *I say using the vibration frequencies of the 72 names* to part the Red Sea.

I'm still attempting to tie in the significance of the 13 levels on the pyramid, and if my analysis is correct so far, fits perfectly, snug as a bug.
Here are some theories I've come up with, but I don't feel comfortable with how they fit in with the rest of my analysis thus far.
Ego death? Arcanum #13 correlates to the death of the ego in Tarot. Maybe correlates to the "ego death" of God that a lot of people noticeably mentioned?
God Complex, Ego Death
Sethian Gnostic Gospel of Adams 13 kingdoms of the apocalypse?
Someone on quora said it had to do with Horus, which would be extremely convenient for research, but I've yet to find a connection between the number 13 and Horus.
Unity? After 12, you've gone full circle...Bakers dozen, astrology, 12 seems to be the ending number with 13 being unity...I guess..
Oh, wait. I think I got this one. Ez wiki-pee-dia

And so my friends, we've come full circle.
The eye represents Isis' veil, the "false" light we "perceive" with our 'senses', illuminati/luciferianism, the false light.
The 72 bricks are the 72 names of the divine creator.
The 72 layers, are the attributes of the divine creator.
But why a pyramid? Well folks, you only need to look at my profile picture. The picture of "our" God, creating our material realm within the confines of his tool.

Guess I don't get this part...Exodus 34 6-7 isn't anything like this. It reads like this:
34:5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
34:8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

Number 72.
Oh, I know it's Wikipedia, but take your pick... Number 72 Wiki
Just have to say that the person who designed the dollar bill is probably having a good laugh at all the pointless conspiracies which have come out of it. I am told it's actually impossible to count the bricks on the pyramid, so 72 is just someone's guess. It could be 71, or 73, or 67 - but know, find a number that fits a fantasy.

There are others, these are the ones that come to mind.
Exodus 14:19-21 each contain 72 letters in Hebrew. In the Zohar (II:51b) it is stated that these three verses refer in sequence to the divine attributes of chesed, gevura, and tiferet. The harmonious blending of these three principle emotive attributes forms the basic paradigm of how G‑d relates to the world. Thus, they together form a composite name of G‑d, since a name is a means by which one is made known to others, i.e. manifests his attributes.
The fact that each verse contains 72 letters means that they can be aligned in parallel, forming 72 triplets of letters. In this configuration, the Zohar states, the first verse is to be written in its proper order, since it represents G‑d's loving-kindness, or a direct revelation of G‑d's goodness. The second verse is to be written in reverse order, from the last letter to the first, since it represents G‑d's severity, which is an indirect revelation of His goodness. Although tiferet is a blend of both chesed and gevura, the third verse is not to be written half in the proper order and half in reverse order, as one might expect. There are two reasons for this: (1) in tiferet, chesed dominates over gevura, and (2) as the ideal blend of chesed and gevura, tiferet is a direct revelation of G‑d's goodness and glory rather than an indirect one.

Elohim noun
A name for God used frequently in the Hebrew Bible.
‘The name Elohim is therefore interpreted to indicate that God is the ‘master of all power.’’
More examples in a sentence
‘As noted earlier, this name signifies kindness and compassion, as contrasted with the name Elohim, which refers to God as the harsh but just judge.’
‘The heart of the universe beats with the pulse of the name Elohim.’
‘The opening passage of Torah begins: ‘In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.’’
‘For example, it is permissible to pronounce the word Elohim when it is an obvious reference to human judges or false gods, or Tzeva'ot when it refers to armies.’
'This phenomenon is symbolized by the first part of the word Elohim being separated, at least intellectually, from the second part.’
This is why, Kabbalah points out, the numerical value or gematria, of Elohim and ha-teva ‘nature ‘are equal.’’
‘In some ways the Greek Bible is more self-consciously un-Greek, its ‘Lord God’ more removed from manifestation, than the Elohim and Yahweh of the Hebrew text it was translating.’
One of the names for God in the oldest parts of the Hebrew Bible is Elohim, which literally means ‘the Gods.’’
‘This is why observant Hebrews avoid writing a Name of Elohim on web sites like this one, or in newsgroup messages, because there is a risk that someone else will print it out and deface it.’
‘They are supposedly referenced in the Bible in the form of the Elohim, the plural form of God used in Genesis.’
‘Other critics say that the words Elohim and Yahweh indicate two different authors, and, who lived well after Moses' time.’

First, YHWH is a proper noun, the personal name of Israel's deity. Second, Elohim is a common noun, used to refer to deity.
Elohim is actually a plural noun (indicated by the /im/ as in cherubim and seraphim). Sometimes the referent is plural. At other times the referent is singular. Like most words in English, Elohim can mean several things. Sometimes Elohim refers to plural "gods," as in "You shall have no other gods before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7). At other times it refers to the singular "God," as in "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). It is clear in this latter example that even though the form of the word Elohim is plural, the referent is singular, because the verb with which Elohim is used ("created") is singular in Hebrew.
Second, the relationship between YHWH and Elohim in the combination YHWH Elohim is one of apposition, that is to say the second noun is placed immediately after the first noun to provide some sort of further definition or explanation. The significance of this can be seen in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. In Genesis 1 only Elohim is used to refer to deity. This is no doubt because of the universal perspective of this creation story. In Genesis 2, on the other hand, deity is referred to as YHWH Elohim. These two accounts converge to affirm that YHWH (the God of Israel) and not any other ancient Near Eastern deity is Elohim (the universal God).
So, why the plural form if the referent is singular? The best answer is that this is an "honorific plural," that is to say, a plural used to show honor to a singular referent. Such an honorific plural is used for humans in texts like 1Kings 1:43, where we read, "our lord King David." The Hebrew word translated "lord" in this case is plural, even though it refers to the singular David. This honorific plural is also used of God elsewhere in texts like Psalm 8:1, where we read, "O LORD, our Lord…." In this text "LORD" (small caps) translates YHWH, while "Lord" translates a common noun for "master," which is in this text plural in form though referring to the singular YHWH. So Psalm 8:1 could be translated "O YHWH, our Master…." So, YWHW is the true God's personal name, and Elohim by itself is simply the Hebrew common noun used to refer to the true God in an honorific way. Now, what about the combination YHWH Elohim?
"You shall have no other gods( Elohim) before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7)
"In the beginning God ( Elohim) created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1)
