In the beginning, this universe was the self (Viraj) alone, in the shape of a person. He reflected and saw nothing else but His self. He first said:
"I am He.
"I AM" THAT "I AM".
Translation of the Hebrew words, Ehyeh asher ehyeh, "I" shall "Being" that "I" Being.

I AM HE
Yahweh God isn't a name of a GOD ....
the word GOD has been misunderstood
"Yahweh" wasn't even the first thing GOD Almighty was addressed with in the Bible
Jesus never mention the name YAHWEH in the NT, whereas it is mentioned about 7,000 times in the OT?
In Hebrew the Creator's name is "YHWH" translated:
"I AM WHO AM" or "I AM WHO I AM".
In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad there is a verse that describes how, at the beginning of the universe, the Self became aware of itself as 'I':
In the beginning this [universe] was the Self alone… He [the Self] reflected and saw nothing but the Self. He first said, 'I am He'.
Therefore He came to be known by the name aham ['I']
Aham is a Sanskrit term which means "self" or "I."
Ahaṃkāra (अहंकार) is a Sanskrit term that is related to the ego and egoism - that is, the identifying with or attachment to one's ego.
phrase 'ehyeh aser ehyeh' is derived form an archaic Hebrew form of the verb 'to be
Though God clearly refers to Himself as 'I am' in Exodus 3:14, and though He specifically stated in the next verse that this was the name by which He wanted to be remembered, this was not the name that the Jews subsequently used. They preferred the name Yahweh, which is the third person singular of the present tense of the same archaic form of the verb 'to be'. So, instead of referring to Him as 'I am', the ancient Jews and the compilers of the Old Testament always called him Yahweh, meaning 'He is' or 'He who is'
In one interesting practice, which parallels Hindu sadhanas, Kabbalists split the name Yahweh into two components and invoke 'Yah' with the incoming breath and 'weh' with the outgoing breath in an attempt to be continuously mindful of the reality that the name signifies. There is also a Kabbalistic walking meditation in which one invokes 'Yahweh' when the right foot touches the ground and 'Elohim' on the alternating left steps. Yahweh is 'He who is', God as being, whereas Elohim is the biblical name of God the creator. Simultaneously one must retain a continuous awareness of 'Eyheh', the 'I am' from which, in the Kabbalistic tradition, all creation emanates and manifests
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:27, KJV)
Notice that in this verse it states that Elohim made humans in his image, but then it defines this image as male and female. From this we can conclude that the attributes of God are both masculine and feminine. We can then surmise that he placed his masculine attributes within the man and his feminine attributes within the woman and when a man and woman come together and become one, they together become the image of Elohim.
Yahweh = I AM
Yah Weh - male female
Yin Yang - male female
The Chinese know!!
Yin/Yang-The polar opposites of a single principle: hard/soft, dark/light, etc. Yin is seen as female, passive, receptive, soft, and yielding. Yang is seen as male, active, hard, and aggressive. If you can understand this idea you have found THE WAY. Everything is a movement or interplay from one opposite to the other. For every action there is a reaction. This movement is seen to help one flow with the forces of nature, rather than fight them. Embrace the opposites as one, and you have found the essence of flow.
In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin-yang (simplified Chinese: 阴阳; traditional Chinese: 陰陽; pinyin: yīnyáng), which is often called "yin andyang",[1][2][3][4] is used to describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many natural dualities (such as light and dark, high and low, hot and cold, fire and water, life and death, strong and weak and so on) are thought of as physical manifestations of the yin-yang concept
India conceptualizes the male and female principles differently than most other cultures. In India, the male principle is passive, the female shakti is active. In China, as in the West, the male principle (yang) is active and the female principle (yin) is passive. However, in the Far East, and unlike the West, this polarity is non-dualistic - an opposite which is not in opposition.
Some of the male-female characteristics are:
- hot/cold
- active/passive
- wet/dry
- yin/yang
- forceful/receptive
- expansive/contractive
- heavy/light
- strong/weak

*Ardhanarishvara: (Sanskrit) "Half-female Lord." Lord Siva in androgynous form, male on the right side and female on the left, indicating that: 1) Siva (like all Mahadevas) is genderless; 2) Siva is All, inseparable from His energy, Shakti; 3) in Siva the ida (feminine) and the pingala (masculine) nadis (psychic nerve currents) are balanced so that sushumna is ever active. The mediator who balances these through sadhana and yoga becomes like Siva. In the unity of Ardhanarishvara all opposites are reconciled; duality vanishes back into the one source. This icon especially represents Siva's second perfection: Pure Consciousness (Satchidananda or Parashakti).

In The Secret Book of John, Jesus is quite clear about the Supreme Creator and Yahweh/Jehovah. And I quote:
"The One is a sovereign that has nothing over it. It is God and Father of all, the Invisible One that is over all, that is imperishable, that is pure light no eye can see.
"It is the Invisible Spirit. One should not think of it as a god, or like a god. For it is greater than a god, because it has nothing over it and no lord above it. It does not exist within anything that is inferior to it, since everything exists only within it. It is eternal, since it does not need anything. For it is absolutely complete; it has never lacked anything in order to be complete. Rather, it has always been absolutely complete in light.
It is illimitable, since there is nothing before it to limit it.
It is unfathomable, since there is nothing before it to fathom it.
It is immeasurable, since there was nothing before it to measure it.
It is unobservable, since nothing has observed it.
It is eternal, and exists eternally.
It is unutterable, since nothing could comprehend it to utter it.
It is unnameable, since there is nothing before it to give it a name.
