There were several Abrahams from various cultures. Each starting out with the same story - a shorter name that gets extended by the addition of an 'H'. Were there several different Abrahams, or the same story being retold in different cultures?
There was Abram, Brama, Abriman, Abarama - all the same person? Or separate characters? My theory is they all represent the same character in a story that is as old as time - told to explain the origins of the race. The original character may have been, or may not have been, a real person.
Abram to Abraham
Brama to Brahma
Abriman to Ahriman
Abarama to Ahriman
and perhaps:
HMRB as Hammurabi i.e. BRMH as Abraham
Abraham's name was once a shorter version - 'Abram', but later during his life 'Abram', the name, was extended by adding 'h' and he became Abraham. 'Abram', the name, means 'lifted up', or 'exalted'.
Abraham's story is not unique to the Hebrew Scriptures, for we find in India they had a Hindu Brama who was the Hindu Creator, or father of his people. Later the Hindus added an 'h' to his name making it 'Brahma', just as an 'h' was added to 'Abram', making it Abraham.
In Persia the name of their prophet was originally 'Abriman, who also acquired an 'h' and became Ahriman.
The Babylonians also had their Abraham - spelled 'Abarama' - not to be confused with Hammurabi.
The Hebrew Abraham took a wife, Sarai, to which an 'h' was added to make her name 'Sarah'. The Brahma wife was 'Shri'(saraswati). If you take the vowels out of Sarai and add an 'h', you have one and the same Hebrew/Brahma - 'Shri'.
The letter 'h' signifies life force (ulam i.e. lower animal part of man's existence), and had to be added to the essence of their existence in order to create the cycle of life. In the beginning Abram(brama) was the ideal of our highest possible self, but in order to become the father of nations, in order to pass on the order of evolution, he had to become one with the lower self arena. In so doing, Abraham(brahma) became the father of many nations, no matter which culture or religion you chose to view the coded message.
