BALAK Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT BALAK by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “HaShem opened the mouth of the she-donkey and it said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you struck me these three times? Balaam said to the she-donkey, Because you mocked me! If only there were a sword in my hand I would now have killed you! The she-donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your she-donkey that you have ridden upon me all your life until this day? Have I been accustomed to do such a thing to you? He said, No. Then HaShem uncovered Balaam’s eyes and he saw the angel of HaShem standing on the road with his sword drawn in his hand. He bowed his head and prostrated himself on his face.” (Numbers 22:28-31) In this SCENARIO, it is disclosed that BALAAM was moving in a way that was opposing to the UNFOLDMENT of YISRAEL’S CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. Unconscious of his opposition to the DIVINE VISION, his donkey refused to follow BALAAM’S instructions. Frustrated with the donkey’s response to the INSTRUCTIONS, BALAAM struck him three times. At the third BLOW, the DONKEY spoke to BALAAM concerning the EVENT.

Observing this SCENARIO from the HIGHER perspective of the TABERNACLE of DAVID discloses one of the MECHANICS that may be employed in undergoing the CORRECTION that leads to the ATTAINMENT of a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. From the perspective that is HIGHER than that of CONTRAST, we are able to DISCERN that the donkey was moving in harmony with the SYSTEM of ANIMATION. This movement in concert with the ANIMATE gave rise to refusing to carry BALAAM to a GOAL that was contrary to DIVINE WILL. The reaction to REFUSAL of striking the DONKEY was due to BALAAM being unconscious of his need for correction. The DONKEY SPEAKING to BALAAM gave rise to him looking at the SYSTEM from a HIGHER PERSPECTIVE. The HIGHER PERSPECTIVE revealed the process that was occurring in the SYSTEM enabling BALAAM to correct HIMSELF.

Likewise when what we plan is met by OPPOSITION, it need be perceived as an opportunity to look at the SYSTEMS that are below us and observe the process that is occurring. The process of the SYSTEM below has a VOICE that may communicate to us the information that is needful in the CORRECTION. Heeding to the voice of CORRECTION will engender an experience of aiding with the ATTAINMENT of the MANIFESTATION of a CONSCIOUS UNION WITH ECHAD.
