Schamayim שמים – Names or Heaven.
Schamayim in the bible is translated as “heaven,” but that is not the actual meaning of the word schamyim. When you analyze the Hebrew word, you see that its letters hide a lot of knowledge.
Shin ש (fire) + מים Mem Iod Mem (mayim: water)
The letter ש shin is fire. The letter shin is one of the three mother letters. It represents divine fire, the fire of god, the fire of the upper trinity, the fire of lod-hei-vav-hei. The letter shin has three flames, that is the trinity. In the heavens, the pure realms, that fire (shin, the trinity) is in the water, mayim.
In Hebrew, מים mayim means “water.” It has two forms of the letter mem: the regular Mem and the final Mem. These represent two aspects of water: the upper waters and the lower waters that god separates and establishes a boundary between. The letter iod is between the two mems. This is the letter iod from יהוה iod-Hei-Vav-Hei.
Schamayim literally means “fiery water.” That is the sephirah daath. How do we know that? Because Solomon told us.
“She is a עץ־חיים (tree of lives) for those who hold to her, and those who draw near to her are אשר (Asher). By חכמה Chokmah (wisdom) יהוה Jehovah founded ארץ (erets), by תבונה (Tabuwn, knowledge from experience) established שמים shamayim. With His דעת Da’ath the abysses are split, and the clouds drip טל dew…” – Proverbs 3
Mayim is related with the sephirah Yesod. If we work with the fire of sexuality, we can make our mayim into schamayim. This is the secret knowledge of Alchemy.
