BESHALACH Part 4

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT BESHALACH by placing our ATTENTION on the LIBERATOR MOSHE leading “BENEI YISRAEL” to the Wilderness of Sin. After experiencing DELIVERANCE from the OPPRESSION of MITZRAYIM, to maintain their FREEDOM, BENEI YISRAEL must LEARN to be RESPONSIBLE. RESPONSIBILITY may be described as the manifestation of SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS in the EVENTS that ONE UNDERGOES.

The CHALLENGE that BENEI YISRAEL faced in the WILDERNESS of SIN was HUNGER, it is written, “The Children of Israel said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of HASHEM in the land of Egypt, as we sat by the pot of meat, when we ate bread to satiety, for you have taken us out to this Wilderness to kill this entire congregation by famine.” (Exodus 16:3) This EVENT was not something that took place without cause, to the contrary, G-d is the CAUSE, it is written, “He afflicted you and let you hunger, then He fed you the manna that you did not know, nor did your forefathers know, in order to make you know that not by bread alone does man live.” (Deuteronomy 8:3) In this passage of TORAH, it is disclosed that HASHEM was the Cause of the HUNGER that BENEI YISRAEL experienced in order to TEACH them TRUTH. The TRUTH is that HASHEM is SUPPLY.

HASHEM is the CONSCIOUSNESS of ALL SENTIENT BEING, yea, He is the SOUL of every INDIVIDUAL. He is the SOUL of everyone who is UNDERGOING the HUMAN CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE, but yet this EMET is CONCEALED, therefore, He PREDETERMINES EVENTS to aid in being REVEALED. The PREDETERMINED EVENT of BENEI YISRAEL undergoing HUNGER in the WILDERNESS of SIN was to REVEAL HASHEM as SUPPLY. Since the SOULS of those who are undergoing the HUMAN CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE are INDIVIDUALIZED ASPECTS of DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS, it, too, is SUPPLY. The challenges that we undergo are destined to REVEAL different attributes of the DIVINE that are LATENT WITHIN. Like our ancestors, we are undergoing challenges designed to cause us to discover the POTENTIAL within and manifest it in TIME.

As aforementioned, G-d is teaching HIS CHILDREN to be RESPONSIBLE, that is, to see the POTENTIAL that we POSSESS within and to MANIFEST it in CHALLENGE. As we continue in this lifestyle of RESPONSIBILITY, the GOAL is to unfold LIFE WITHOUT END. Indeed we are not to LIVE by BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERYTHING THAT EMANATES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.
