TETZAVEH Part 2
Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT TETZAVEH by placing our attention on the movement of TIME in SPACE. TIME may be described as thought in motion. This description describes that TIME is illusionary in nature. The illusions are appearances that are TEMPORARY IN NATURE with the PURPOSE of REVEALING THAT which is ETERNAL, yea, THE ETERNAL is in the process of MANIFESTING ITSELF IN FORM.
The commencement of the ETERNAL manifesting ITSELF in FORM is ONE of SIMPLICITY. In other words, that which is SIMPLE moves TOWARDS the COMPLEX and that WHICH is COMPLEX moves TOWARDS the SIMPLE. This description is the MOVEMENT of TIME in SPACE. As aforementioned, the PURPOSE of the MOVEMENT is the MANIFESTATION of the ETERNAL, i.e. HASHEM, Blessed Be His NAME, in FORM.
The portion termed TETZAVEH contains within it a MYTERY concerning the MOVEMENT of TIME in SPACE. The MYSTERY has to do with the instructions given to the NAVI MOSHE on the CREATION of the VESTMENTS OF SANCTITY for the KOHANIM (priests), that is, AARON and his SONS. The only DIFFERENTIATION that was to exist within the KOHANIM was that of the KOHAN GADOL (High Priest), the rest of KOHANIM were to wear SIMILAR CLOTHING when MINISTERING to HASHEM.
The KOHANIM were to occupy the HIGHER LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS among BENEI YISRAEL. The HIGHER LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS, the LESS DIFFERENTIATION OCCURS. In other words, the HIGHER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS represent SIMPLICITY. DESCENSION into the lower levels of CONSCIOUSNESS give rise to COMPLEXITY experienced as DIFFERENTIATION. The uniformity of the VESTMENTS OF SANCTITY are a revelation that ASCENSION into the HOLY BLESSED ONE of YISRAEL is one of A CONSCIOUS UNION with G-d where the experience is ONE of SIMPLICITY, yea, the challenges that we undergo are to be RESPONDED to by ASCENSION into the SIMPLICITY that is LATENT WITHIN. This SIMPLICITY that is LATENT WITHIN is absent of COMPLEXITY. The COMPLEXITY that is experienced with the challenge is only the appearance of an ILLUSION that is experienced in the MOVEMENT. Thus the KOHANIM wore the VESTMENT OF SANCTITY that expressed SAMENESS. It is the FOCUS on SAMENESS that engenders the manifestation of the ETERNAL in FORM.
