PEKUDEI Part 3
Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT PEKUDEI by placing our ATTENTION on HASHEM’S command to the NAVI MOSHE to set up the MISHKAN (Tabernacle). It is evident that the PURPOSE of the MISHKAN is to AID with BENEI YISRAEL’S ascension into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS.
PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is experienced when ONE ascends into the NESHAMAH. The NESHAMAH when perceived from the IMPERSONAL aspect of ECHAD is where a CONSCIOUS UNION with G-d occurs. PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS may be described as CORPORATE in nature, yea, it is ascension out of INDIVIDUALITY that resulted from descension below MAKSOM. The descension below MAKSOM came about when ADAM and EVE partook of the TREE of THE KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and BAD. Their descension below MAKSOM was purposed to create WITHIN THEM VOLITION, that is, FREE WILL. As aforementioned, the PRICE of their VOLITION was descension into INDIVIDUALITY. INDIVIDUALITY brought with it the ILLUSION of the EGO. The CONSCIOUSNESS of the EGO is one of ERROR, superimposing upon the EXTERNAL WORLD a false SENSE of SEPARATION. As suggested the CONSTRUCTION of the MISHKAN was purposed to AID in BENEI YISRAEL’S ASCENSION into SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS where we return to the CORPORATE MINDSET. This is like unto the PHYSICAL BODY that is comprised of MANY MEMBERS that are operating under a SINGLE CONSCIOUSNESS. If the members begin to operate in INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS, the result will bring about DIVISION leading to SICKNESS and DEATH.
The CONSTRUCTION of the MISHKAN gave rise to the VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of ECHAD. This VISIBLE MANIFESTATION is what is termed the SHEKINAH. The appearance of the SHEKINAH would activate the SPIRITUAL LAW, image creates desire, yea, the MANIFESTATION of G-d as ONE would inspire BENEI YISRAEL into making the ASCENSION into the TURTH of our BEING. The TRUTH of BEING is that in our PRIMORDIAL STATE, which is described as the IMAGE and LIKENESS of G-d, we are ONE BEING.
