Shem Hamphoras
Shem Hamphoras (Hebrew: שֵׁם הַמְּפֹרָשׁ), also spelled Shem HaMephorash or Shem ha-Mephorash, means "the explicit name". It is the ineffable name of God which was pronounced once a year by the high priest in the Temple, a name by which he claimed to be able to question God. Anyone unauthorized who then heard this name pronounced would immediately incur the death penalty. Subsequently, this name was replaced by the Tetragrammaton (IHWH).
Nowadays, the Shem Hamphoras has become a magical item, sold as a talisman in some magic and esoteric shops. At the time of Jesus, this was already the case if we believe the testimony of a Sadducee who accused Jesus of being a Beelzebub.
In the work of Maria Valtorta
The Remarkable Point
The Shem Hamphoras is mentioned in a single episode of Maria Valtorta who spells it Sciemanflorasc, as she hears it. This phonetic translation by Maria Valtorta indicates the pronunciation of the Judeans. It took extensive research by Jean-François Lavère to find what it referred to, given how different the two spellings are. The explanation was found in a rare and old work by Abbé Bullet.
The Episode
In GRM 503.9, Jesus is violently confronted by a Sadducee who accompanies the unhappy wife of a necromancer at death’s door. Alone with Jesus, she begs Him to deliver him from his practice of summoning the dead:"My house is a hell! A hell! You free possessed people. So You know what the demon is. But do You know this subtle, intelligent, false and learned demon? Do you know to what perversion he leads one. To what sins? Do You know the ruin he causes around himself. My house? Is it a house? No. It is the threshold of hell. My husband. Is he my husband? He is now ill and does not bother about me. But also when he was strong and eager for love, was it a man that embraced me, held me and had me? No! I was in the coils of a demon, I smelt the breath and felt the viscid body of a demon. I loved him so much and I love him."[1]But Jesus can do nothing because the necromancer does not want to be freed from his deadly practice, in every sense of the word. The Sadducee who accompanied the wife, seeing the refusal to heal, reproaches Jesus. Jesus then delivers a terrible indictment against the practices of the Herodians, Sadducees, Pharisees, etc.[2] The Sadducee then reveals the bottom of his thought:
"« [...] You are talking nonsense! You are a concubine of Beelzebub. You fornicate with him and work miracles in his name. You cannot work one in our case because we are friends of God.»«Satan does not drive himself out, I expel demons. So in whose name do I do it?» Silence. «Answer My question!»
It is not worth while bothering with this demoniac. I warned you. You did not believe me. Let Him tell you. Answer, You mad Nazarene. Do You know the sciemanflorasc?" - «I do not need to!»
[...] «See? Who is the necromancer, the demon? How horrible! Come woman. Your husband is a saint as compared to Him. Come!… You will have to be purified. You have touched Satan!…» And they go away dragging the woman who is weeping with clear gestures of aversion.
Jesus, with His folded arms, watches them with flashing eyes.
«Master… Master…» The apostles are terrorised both by Jesus’ vehemence and by the Judaeans’ words.
Peter asks, and he even bends down while speaking: «What did they mean with those last questions? What is that thing?»
«What? The sciemanflorasc?»
«Yes. What is it?»
«Forget about it. They are mixing the Truth with Falsehood, God with Satan, and in their satanic pride they think that God, to yield to the wishes of men, has to be implored by means of His Tetragrammaton. The Son speaks the true language with His Father and by means of it, through the mutual love of Father and Son, miracles are performed.»"[3]
