'I am The I am, the verb to be.'

This infers the idea of generation or creation of being and becoming. The sentiment perhaps relates such simple lessons that we overlook them. The Tetragrammaton is a language based on the ineffable name, the silence, the stillness, the unsaid. The Tetragrammaton is four grammar.

The Tetragrammaton was likely prohibited because of its development properties and the tendency for such to be restricted by those with selfish interests. The Tetragrammaton is further ineffable because of its depth and breadth. That it represents primordial energy akin to the Tao, or the primordial All, akin to the causative Unmoved Mover, which we cannot quite entirely comprehend .

The Tao and The Tetragrammaton share many qualities. Each is said to represent that which we cannot entirely understand in a way that might assist us to come close to its consideration and comprehension. However, there is no accompanied taboo with The Tao as with The Tetragrammaton. To pronounce it is to reduce it, to encapsulate it toward full comprehension is to limit it, and to limit it prevents full comprehension of it, and yet the best way to begin to perceive it is by way of four grammar.

What is often perceived as a dogmatic Biblical presentation by a commanding and even egoic imbalanced God becomes lessons of universal principles when The Tetragrammaton is considered and better understood. What is on its surface monotheistic dogma becomes esoteric and exoteric wisdom teachings in parables when the four grammar of The Tetragrammaton is perceived. With the comprehension that Tetragrammaton is an terminology on a state of being the lessons presented transform from externalized and dogmatic demands of obedience into internalized and individualized ideas related to individuation and ascended being.

The Tao that can be expressed is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.

"Non-existence" I call the beginning of Heaven and Earth.
"Existence" I call the mother of individual beings.

Therefore does the direction towards non-existence
lead to the sight of the miraculous essence,
the direction towards existence
to the sight of spatial limitations.

~Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

The Tetragrammaton and The Tao cannot be entirely known. We cannot properly pronounce the word because it is a representative of a primordial and ultimate energy, it is an idea that is an encapsulation of many ideas unto a whole, like a language, a grammar. The energy is at essence of everything, it is an energy of comprehension and creation.

In Tai Chi practice, which is essentially practicing being in alignment with The Tao, many practitioners eventually consider the concept of not knowing Tai Chi or The Tao, the ineffable and unknowable, but practicing Tai Chi. The subtle difference presents an enormous change in mind state. There is no completion to the practice. There are no belts in Tai Chi practice because practice is continuous as is the potential to integrate bettered comprehension of Tao or The Tetragrammaton into our being.

The Tetragrammaton is the four-letter name for God and more specifically the four measure grammar or terminology of being and becoming. The traditionally conceived teaching concept called The Trivium is an ancient format for learning. Trivium means the place where three roads meet. The Trivium reveals a comprehension process toward individuation overall as well as pertaining to specific subjects. Grammar is first, followed by logic, then rhetoric.

First, we have to learn the language, the grammar of a subject. We can then contemplate the matter at hand with logic, and then we can communicate our considerations and ideas with rhetoric. The Trivium is based on this format. First, we have to learn the grammar of the subject in question before we then can comprehend the logic and present our own rhetorical ideas. Without the grammar there is no way to comprehend derivative logic nor any way to utilize pertinent rhetoric. The grammar or grammaton of The Tetragrammaton implies this modality.

In this way, Four Grammar is the language pertinent to becoming, toward ascension and individuation, and toward comprehension of Godliness. The Tetragrammaton is the grammar towards comprehension and cultivation of Godliness and/or self-development. The YHWH symbolizes The Tetragrammaton, and more than being a name for God, it presents a primal and powerful set of four to contemplate The Tetragrammaton, or four grammar.
