The True Man
Shem שֵׁם was the first son of Noah. Noah is that archetype or Nous Atom that we have in the left ventricle of the heart.
“And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat שֵׁם Shem.” – Genesis 5: 32
The word Shemite or Semite derives from שֵׁם Shem.

The letter Shin ש relates to the trinity, the three primary forces. It is the creative fire at the base of life. It is the fire that enflamed the burning bush before Moses. ש Shin represents the power of creation inherent in every atom, a power that we must harness and direct towards liberation, rather than using our energies to degenerate ourselves further.
In Kabbalah, the letter ש Shin is the symbol of fire. The divine fire has three wicks as the letter ש Shin has three wicks, which represent the trinity. That trinity is Kether, Chokmah, Binah, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the First Logos, the Second Logos and the Third Logos.
In Kabbalah, in the Zohar, it is stated that the letter Shin also represents Chesed, Geburah, and Tiphereth [the Monad]. We will say that inside of us we have the letter Shin.
