In the previous post Wilsonian had asked for more information about Ruach. This short explaination is beautiful.
Hebrew RUACH "voice (of God), wind"
Latvian RUC- "thunder, roar" Latvian RU-na "speech"
The "fundamental" meaning of ruach is both "wind" and "breath".
Ruach is not as something "present" but the "power" at the base of breath and wind, and - in particular (my translation from the German):
"The second fundamental meaning of ruach is "breath", but not as something lasting, but rather as the power expressed in expending a breath of air...not normal breathing, but the special process of breath, in which the dynamic vitality of humans finds expression."
From this link I appreciated this quote:
(Based on letters RUACH ELOHIM can perhaps be read as the life energy that emerges from the Divine Mind)
