VAYIKRA Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT VAYIKRA by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “When a person offers a meal offering to HASHEM, this offering shall be of fine flour; he shall pour oil upon it and place frankincense upon it. He shall bring it to the sons of AARON, the KOHANIM, one of whom shall scoop his three fingerful upon it, from its fine flour and from its oil, as well as all its frankincense; and the KOHEN shall cause its memorial portion to go up in smoke upon the Altar - a fire-offering, a satisfying aroma to HASHEM. The remnant of the meal offering is for AARON and his sons; most holy, from the fire-offerings of HASHEM.” (Leviticus 2:1-3) It is evident from this passage found in the SIDRAH that a MEAL OFFERING consists of FLOUR, OIL and FRANKINCENSE. Since these ITEMS are INEXPENSIVE, MORE THAN OFTEN they would be brought by the POOR for the purpose of establishing a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. 

We live in a UNIVERSE of BECOMING. The UNFOLDMENT and INFOLDMENT of the UNIVERSE of BECOMING suggests that it is TRANSIENT in nature. The CONSTANT STATE of FLUX that moves in a CYCLE is in reality the PURSUIT of the ALL attempting to UNFOLD the HIDDEN attributes of GOD, yea, the purpose of HASHEM giving us the TORAH is to change the approach of LIFE. In the pursuit of LIFE, we are destined to experience MOMENTS questioning our EMUNAH (faith) in the unfoldment of a CONSTANT STATE of change. The righteous works of a WISE MAN is the path we are DESTINED to go. No doubt, the ATMOSPHERE that SURROUNDS us provides many changes in order for us to ascend into the HIGHER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS. The offerings that are being SPOKEN of in the SIDRAH are destined to enable us in our pursuit of perfection. The MEAL OFFERING was given to the KOHANIM that we might become ENLIGHTENED. The continuance of this STAPLE discloses that the TRANSIENT NATURE of the UNIVERSE requires that we redefine every thing.

 Redefining a thing gives rise to its proper use. The proper use of a THING was to be discovered by the KOHANIM who put their direct focus on the ALL. The focus upon the THING will aid in the unfoldment and infoldment of the GLORY of HASHEM that is CONCEALED WITHIN. By giving the KOHANIM this offering, they were EMPOWERED to continue with the HOLY WORKS unhindered by PHYSICAL NEEDS. The CONTINUAL FOCUS upon G-d gives rise to the MANIFESTATION of G-d hid within. The MANIFESTATION is to be bought as a SIGN that G-d is with us. One of the WAYS that we are able to MAINTAIN this LIFESTYLE is because it was revealed to us by G-d. We are GOD manifesting HIMSELF in the UNIVERSE of BECOMING. The purpose of the MEAL OFFERING is to feed the KOHANIM that we might maintain the HIGHER LEVELS of CONSCIOUS BEING to aid in the people’s pursuit of a CONSCIOUS union with ECHAD.
