The Tabernacle of David Part 6

“On that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David; I will repair their breaches and raise up its ruins, I all build it up as in days of old, so that they upon whom My Name is called may inherit the remnant of Edom and all the nations, the word of HASHEM, Who shall do this.”

Amos 9:11,12

Shalom, we commence this discussion by focusing upon some of the concepts that have thus far been established. Those concepts are that the reconstruction of the Tabernacle of David has been effected by the process of evolution. The evolved thought concerning MISHKAN DAVID (Tabernacle of David) is that the true tabernacle is the PHYSICAL BODY. The courts of the PHYSICAL BODY (tabernacle) are the three conscious states that are experienced within the body. The three conscious states are described as DEPENDENT, INDEPENDENCE and INTERDEPENDENCE.

It was further disclosed that the instructions on how to ascend from the CONSCIOUS STATE of DEPENDENCE to INDEPENDENCE to INTERDEPENDENCE has been given to the Jewish People. The Jewish People, that is, BENEI YISRAEL (the children of YISRAEL) are predestined to experience the ASCENSION into the higher levels of consciousness first as an ensample to the nations of OLAM (the world). After OLAM witnesses to the effect of the ASCENSION, it will engender an IMPETUS within to do the same. Concerning this EMET (truth), the NAVI (prophet) Daniel was given the following prophecy, “But judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion to be annihilated and to be destroyed completely. And the kingship, the dominion and the grandeur of the kingdom under all the heavens will be given to the holy supreme nation (YISRAEL). Its kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey it.” (Daniel 7:26,27) In this prophecy, the language that the NAVI Daniel employs is strong. The strong language no doubt is being employed to reiterate the idea that there is a predetermined event that is at the EXTINCT LEVEL that is destined to occur. The outcome of the event is the restoration of the BENEI YISRAEL to its NATIONAL PURPOSE assigned by HASHEM. The unfoldment of our restoration gives rise to the manifestation of DOMINION and GRANDEUR. Without a doubt, the manifestation of DOMINION and GRANDEUR amid an EXTINCT LEVEL EVENT will act as an IMPETUS for the rest of the nations of OLAM. The IMPETUS experienced by the nations of OLAM will breed a desire to be instructed by YISRAEL who has achieved DOMINION and GRANDEUR.

The achievement of DOMINION and GRANDEUR that is to be made manifest in BENEI YISRAEL is the result of ascension into the higher levels of conscious being. In the higher levels of conscious being, one is able to experience the thoughts of HASHEM. Thoughts effect words and actions. The higher the thought, the higher are the words and actions. What occurs in the PHYSICAL BODY is a product of what is concentrated upon in the MIND. Thus the unfoldment of DOMINION and GRANDEUR by the Jews first is the result of concentration upon the thoughts that are experienced at the CONSCIOUS LEVEL of INTERDEPENDENCE. This ascension by the Jews first is a revelation that Judaism will undergo an EVOLUTION.

The fact that Judaism undergoes the process of evolution can be seen in the following way. Its practice in the wilderness to the land gave rise to Tabernacle worship evolving into Temple worship. The destruction of the Temple to the carrying away of BENEI YISRAEL unfolded the RABBINICAL APPROACH to Judaism. Since the unfoldment of the RABBINICAL APPROACH, there have been divers movements to experience the lifestyle in different ways. One of the ways is the HASIDISM.

HASIDIC JUDAISM is a branch of Orthodox Judaism that promotes spirituality through the popularization and internalization of Jewish mysticism as the fundamental aspect of faith. HASIDISM is an evolution in Judaism in that it developed in response to legalistic Judaism. One of the major characteristics of HASIDISM is the VENERATION of Leadership.

The veneration of leadership implies that it is the result of loyalty to its leader. No doubt, the idea is confirmed in the following passage of scripture. “A prophet from your midst, from your brethren, like me shall HASHEM, your God, establish for you, to him shall you hearken. According to all that you asked of HASHEM, your God, in Horeb on the day of the congregation, saying, I can no longer hear the voice of HASHEM, my God, and this great fire I can no longer see, so that I shall not die. Then HASHEM said to me:  They have done well in what thy have said. I will establish a prophet for them from among their brethren, like you, and I will place My words in his mouth; He shall speak to them everything that I will command him. And it shall be that the man who will not hearken to My words that he shall speak in My Name, I will exact of him.” (Deuteronomy 18:15-19) In this passage of scripture, the NAVI Moshe is told that with every generation that will come after him, HASHEM will send a NAVI, that is, a leader, that will serve the generation. No doubt, it is based upon an idea such as this that the foundation of HASIDISM is the VENERATION of LEADERSHIP.

Along with the foundation of HASIDISM being based upon the VENERATION of LEADERSHIP is its expression of Jewish Mysticism. There are different forms of Jewish Mysticism, such as KABBALAH, MERKABAH and CHASSIDEI ASHKENAZ. What the different forms have in common is that they are disciplines purposed to aid in the spiritual apprehension of knowledge that is inaccessible to the intellect. HASIDISM is an approach that employs Jewish Mysticism.

Since each HASIDIC DYNASTY follows its own principles, the mysticism that is employed may vary. As a NEO HASIDIC DYNASTY, the MYSTICISM that is employed is the Tabernacle of David. The leadership of this DYNASTY demonstrates the ASCENSION into the Higher levels of CONSCIOUSNESS as the HIGH PRIEST of the PHYSICAL BODY in order to show others how to act as the HIGH PRIEST of their own physical bodies. Thus the ASCENSION into the CONSCIOUS LEVEL termed INTERDEPENDENCE is to be experienced by all. Until the individual is able to make the ascension without aid of the TSADIK, the TSADIK will assist in establishing the instructions and obtaining the benefits of making the ASCENSION.

The practice of Judaism is one that does not require an INTERMEDIARY, one can have a direct relationship with HASHEM from which a CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE of going even higher can be obtained. These experiences are not just psychological in nature, but they unfold as relevant actions that engender ETHICS and the CREATION of A NEW CIVILIZATION. All of this commences with the loyalty that is made with the TSADIK that will engender ASCENSION into the higher levels of Consciousness and the experience of EVOLUTION.

The Tabernacle of David Part 5

“On that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David; I will repair their breaches and raise up its ruins, I all build it up as in days of old, so that they upon whom My Name is called may inherit the remnant of Edom and all the nations, the word of HASHEM, Who shall do this.”

Amos 9:11,12

Shalom, we shall continue our focus upon MISHKAN DAVID (the Tabernacle of David) by continuing the discussion of the CONCEPT that it has been predetermined by HASHEM to be reconstructed by BENEI YISRAEL (the children of Israel). MISHKAN DAVID was constructed for the purpose of experiencing HASHEM. MISHKAN DAVID served as the center of CHAI (life) for the YISRAELITES. The instruction on how to construct MISHKAN DAVID was given to the YISRAELITES. When marrying these concepts, that is, the purpose of MISHKAN DAVID and the instructions given to YISRAEL to construct it, we are able to gain a perspective of how YISRAEL is to fulfill its CORPORATE PURPOSE of being TIKKIN OLAM. Yea, the reconstruction of MISHKAN DAVID which is the center or foundation of Jewish Life will empower us to aid in the REPARATION OF THE WORLD (TIKKUN OLAM).

As previously suggested in the preceding discussion, MISHKAN DAVID rebuilding will take on an evolutionary step. MISHKAN DAVID began as a three court system established in a tent under the authority of the Levitical Priesthood. The courts of the tent were termed the outer court, the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies. On the outer court, sacrifice and washing took place, in the Holy Place, the priest would eat the sacrifice and in the Holy of Holies, the priest would engage with the SHEKINAH of HASHEM. As the history of the Jewish People unfolded, the operation of MISHKAN DAVID came to a halt. It is during the halt that ideas are employed to continue with the service of HASHEM without a visible representation of MISHKAN DAVID or the TEMPLE. No doubt, the development of new ideas during the halt and the ideas that it is DIVINELY DESTINED to be reconstructed suggests that it is undergoing an evolutionary cycle, yea, whenever evolution occurs, it is accompanied by challenges that if not transcended will give rise to extinction. The ideas that developed during the time in which there was no PHYSICAL APPEARANCE of MISHKAN DAVID were response that are TRANSITIONAL in nature. These TRANSITIONAL IDEAS unfold as an EVOLUTION of MISHKAN DAVID.   

The evolution of MISHKAN DAVID gives rise to a new perspective. The new perspective views the MISHKAN, that is, the tabernacle as the PHYSICAL BODY rather than a tent. With the new perspective, the three courts are the three CONSCIOUS LEVELS that can be experienced in the PHYSICAL BODY. The CONSCIOUS LEVEL equivalent to the outer court may be described as DEPENDENT. The CONSCIOUS LEVEL equivalent to the Holy Place may be described as INDEPENDENT. The CONSCIOUS LEVEL equivalent to the HOLY of HOLIES may be described as INTERDEPENDENT. With these conscious levels are different qualities that unfold our experience in OLAM.

As aforementioned, it is the predetermined assignment of HASHEM for BENEI YISRAEL to reconstruct MISHKAN DAVID. The reconstruction of MISHKAN DAVID is the revelation of instructions on how to ASCEND from the CONSCIOUS LEVEL of DEPENDENCY, to INDEPENDENCY and finally INTERDEPENDENCY in the physical body. Since YISRAEL is purposed to be a Kingdom of COHANIM (priests), we are able to discern that the ASCENSION is the product of principles belonging to the priesthood. The EMET (truth) that YISRAEL is purposed to be a Kingdom of COHANIM is confirmed in the following passage found in Torah, it is written, “Moses ascended to God, and HASHEM called to him from the mountain, saying, So shall you say to the House of Jacob and relate to the Children of Israel, You have seen what I did to Egypt, and that I have borne you on the wings of eagles and brought you to Me. And now, if you hearken well to My voice and observe My covenant, you shall be to Me the most beloved treasure of all peoples, for Mine is the entire world. You shall be to Me a kingdom of ministers and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the Children of Israel.” (Exodus 19:3-6)  In this disclosure, HASHEM reveals to the NAVI (prophet) Moshe that the obedience to the BRIT (covenant) given to YISRAEL would transform. The transformation would be one of DIVINE PURPOSE, yea, it is the DIVINE PURPOSE of BENEI YISRAEL to be the PRIESTHOOD of HASHEM for the rest of the NATIONS of OLAM. THE PRIESTHOOD are those who practice and teach the prescribed worship of HASHEM. Thus the instructions that give rise to ASCENSION into the CONSCIOUS STATE of INTERDEPENDENCY have to do with WORSHIP revealed to YISRAEL.

The worship of HASHEM gives rise to receiving new revelations. These new revelations are in reality HASHEM being viewed from DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. Whenever our ancestors gained new insights of HASHEM, their experience gave rise to the revelation of a New Name. The New Name that is revealed is descriptive of qualities that were shrouded in mystery until it became relevant to time. The NAVIIM foresaw a time when a New Name disclosing New Qualities would be revealed concerning HASHEM, it is written, “It will be on that day, the light will not be either very bright or very dim. It will be a unique day; it will be known as HASHEM’S (day), neither day or night, but it will happen towards evening time that there will be light. It shall be on that day, spring water will flow out of Jerusalem; half of it (will flow) to the Eastern Sea and half of it to the Western Sea. This will be summer and in winter. HASHEM will be the King over all the land, on that day HASHEM will be One and His Name One.”(Zechariah 14:6-9) In this revelation, the NAVI Zechariah foresees a day when HASHEM will be known by the NAME ONE. As aforementioned, the NAMES that HASHEM reveals to us are revelations of HIS qualities that had been hid from us. The quality of ECHAD (ONE) as the ONLY G-D was the foundation of the faith that was delivered to our ABBA AVRAHAM. The cosmic laws of the universe demands that everything EVOLVE, thus the Name ONE that is to be the Name of renown upon the earth is an EVOLVED CONCEPT. Th evolutionary of HASHEM being ONE is destined to be demonstrated and taught to all the nations of OLAM by BENEI YISRAEL.

The evolutionary concept of One to be demonstrated and taught by the Jews is the foundation of the knowledge of how to make the ASCENSION in the tabernacle, that is, the PHYSICAL BODY to the CONSCIOUS STATE of INTERDEPENDENT. We shall continue this discussion in the next dialogue.

The Tabernacle of David Part 4

“On that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David; I will repair their breaches and raise up its ruins, I all build it up as in days of old, so that they upon whom My Name is called may inherit the remnant of Edom and all the nations, the word of HASHEM, Who shall do this.”

Amos 9:11,12

Shalom, we commence this discussion with a concept that was biblically established in the previous dialogue. The concept is that it is the predetermined purpose of HASHEM for the Jewish People to rebuild the Tabernacle of David as the instructions given to transcend the EXTINCT LEVEL EVENT that unfolds. As aforementioned, the EXTINCT LEVEL EVENT was foretold by the NAVIIM (prophets). The NAVI (prophet) Jeremiah was given a revelation from HASHEM that declared, “It shall be on that day, the word of HASHEM, Master of Legions, that I will break off the yoke (of the conqueror) from your neck and I  will tear your straps, and foreigners well no longer enslave him. They will serve HASHEM their God and David their King, whom I will establish over them. But as for you, do not fear, My servant Jacob, the word of HASHEM, and do not be afraid, Israel; for behold, I am saving you from distant places and your descendants from the land of their captivity, and Jacob will return and be at peace and tranquil, and none will make (him) afraid. For I am with you, the word of HASHEM, to save you; for I will bring annihilation upon the nations among whom I have dispersed you, but upon you I will not bring annihilation, I will chastise you with justice, but I will never eliminate you.” (Jeremiah 30:8-11) In this prophetic utterance, HASHEM discloses to the NAVI Jeremiah an event that He has predetermined that will give rise to the annihilation of the nations of OLAM (the world) and the preservation of AM YISRAEL (the nation of Israel). Like the days of NAOH, this EXTINCT LEVEL EVENT has a purpose. No doubt the purpose is the EVOLUTION of humanity.

The EVOLUTION of HUMANITY during the days of NOAH was for the purpose of establishing RIGHTEOUSNESS in the EARTH. RIGHTEOUSNESS is descriptive of RIGHT ACTION. RIGHT ACTION is actions that are in congruency with HASHEM. Since actions are a product of thought, to effect RIGHT ACTION, one must be empower to THINK LIKE HASHEM.

To THINK LIKE HASHEM, one must possess the potential to ASCEND into HIS MIND. the idea that an ASCENSION is necessary is taken from the following concept. The NAVI Isaiah wrote, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not My ways, the word of HASHEM. As high as the heavens over the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8,9) In this revelation given to the NAVI Isaiah disclosing the MIND of HASHEM, it is revealed that it is HIGHER THAN that occupied by the majority of those who are undergoing the human conscious experience. The principle that HASHEM’S thoughts, that is, MIND, being higher than that occupied by the majority of those who are undergoing the human conscious experience, implies that one must make an ASCENSION in order to experience HIS MIND. This ASCENSION is destined to be first experienced by the Jewish People who in turn will teach it to others.

The revelation that the ASCENSION into the MIND of HASHEM is to be done first by the Jewish People who in turn will teach it to others was revealed to the NAVI Zechariah, he wrote, “Thus said HASHEM, Master of Legions: In those days it will happen that ten men, of all the (different) languages of the nations, will take hold, they will take hold of the corner of the garment of a Jewish man saying, Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you!” (Zechariah 8:23) In this revelation, it was disclosed to the NAVI Zechariah that a time was coming in which the nations of OLAM would seek out the Jewish People for the Purpose of experiencing HASHEM. With anti Semitism on the rise, this does not seem possible. No doubt, as the EXTINCT LEVEL EVENT unfolds and the OLAM witnesses to the perseverance of the Jewish People, this will create a pursuit in the nations of the world. The purpose is to experience the G-D of YISRAEL that saves us from the time of trouble. In other words, there will be a desire developed in facing ANNIHILATION to connect to what is saving YISRAEL. Thus YISRAEL is destined to experience first before the rest of the nations of OLAM.

The experience that we are destined to enter into first is the CONSTRUCT of the Tabernacle of DAVID. This construct is not the rebuilding of the actual MISHKAN (Tabernacle) built by MELECH (King) DAVID, but rather instructions on how to ASCEND into the MIND of HASHEM. The Tabernacle that the ASCENSION is made in is the PHYSICAL BODY. The PHYSICAL BODY is the place where HASHEM blew HIMSELF into. The blowing of HIMSELF into a PHYSICAL BODY transformed it into a SOULICAL BEING. Thus the SOUL is the individualized ASPECT of HASHEM. This implies that ASCENSION into SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS will give rise to experiencing the MIND of HASHEM. The revelation of how to make the ASCENSION is already in possession of the Jewish People. What is needful is a reassessment of our INHERITANCE that we might receive the revelation of how to make the ASCENSION. Yea, if it is in your MIND, it will be in TIME. To think LIKE HASHEM is to unfold HIS GLORY, that is, visible manifestation of HIS invisible ATTRIBUTES in OLAM.
