YISRO Part 5

Shalom, Shalom. In our final focus upon the PARASHAT YISRO, we are moved to place our attention upon following DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS revealed to the NAVI MOSHE, it is written, “An Altar of earth shall you make for Me, and you shall slaughter near it your burnt-offerings and your peace offerings, your flocks and your herd, wherever I permit My Name to be mentioned I shall come to you and bless you. And when you make for Me an Altar of stones, do not build them hewn, for you will have raised your sword over it and desecrated it. You shall not ascend My Altar on steps, so that your nakedness will not be uncovered upon it.” (DEUTERONOMY 20:21-23) The question IS, HOW ARE THESE INSTRUCTIONS RELEVANT TO WORSHIP TODAY?

Worship may be viewed as a way of connecting to that WHICH is ADORED. Giving obeisance to something that is REGARDED WITH THE FEAR of DESTRUCTION may appear to be WORSHIP, but in reality is OPPRESSION. WORSHIP is destined to be MOTIVATED by ADORATION in order to manifest its PURPOSE. The PURPOSE is to come into UNION with that which is WORSHIPED.
All who undergo the human conscious experience is what is termed SOUL. The SOUL is the product of the Holy BLESSED ONE OF YISRAEL blowing HIMSELF into DUST, that is, a BODY. Thus the SOUL of every individual is a part of ONE SOUL who has BECOME MANY. The NAVI saw a TIME in which the MANY would become ONE, it is written, “HaShem will be the King over all the land; on that day HASHEM will be ONE and HIS NAME WILL BE ONE.” (Zechariah 14:9) As aforementioned, the MANY will become ONE. WORSHIP is purposed to aid the return of the MANY to the ONE.

The return of the MANY to the ONE is ASCENDING into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, that is, a CONSCIOUS UNION WITH G-D. The INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED BY THE NAVI MOSHE reveal the PRINCIPLES OF WORSHIP that give RISE TO ASCENSION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. Those PRINCIPLES deal with the NATURE OF THE ALTAR, THE PLACE OF SACRIFICE and THE ASCENSION.

The NATURE OF THE ALTAR is to be of earth, thus the physical body is PRINCIPLED. THE PLACE OF SACRIFICE is SYNONYMOUS to that which is in the SPHERE of AUTHORITY of the PHYSICAL BODY and the ASCENSION is into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The INSTRUCTIONS reveal that ASCENSION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is to occur in the PHYSICAL BODY by making TREMENDOUS SACRIFICE that does not give rise to MIND MUTILATION but rearranging the priorities of the MIND.
