Dear Hg,
R Tzadok discusses the 2 ways we are meant to perceive Hash-m.
1) Totaly beyond our perception, without boundaries, perfectly One, always existing - which is signified by the name of Havaya- the 4 letters of Yud, then Heh, etc. This is expressed in the Pasuk Shema Yisrael.
2) The second way is Ado-nai - Master of all His creation. This is expressed by Baruch Shem Kevod ... the relation of Hash-m to creation.
R Tzadok explains there is Shiluv Shemos merging the two names into a combination 8 letter Name - perceiving Havaya within the situation of Master." He continues to explain how each Name complements the other.
All the best,
