KI TEITZEI

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by placing our ATTENTION upon the interpretation of title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is the IVRI transliteration KI TEITZEI. The IVRI transliteration KI TEITZEI is indicative of the STATEMENT, “When you will go out.” The portion commences with the IDEA of the rules of ENGAGEMENT IN WARFARE. In particular the focus is on taking among the captivity a beautiful woman in which a Jewish SOLDIER desires to make his WIFE. From the perspective of MISKAN DAVID, it is a revelation of how to handle the SENSITIVITIES experienced when TRANSFORMING the DESIRE of the WORLD (OLAM) into the DESIRE to be ONE WITH G-d.

The TRANSFORMING of the DESIRES of the WORLD into the DESIRE to be One with G-d enters into a WARLIKE STATE when engaging with SEXUAL SINS, the SIN of MURDERING and the SIN of IDOLATRY. These SINS in particular are ENTRENCHED DEEP within the HUMAN PSYCHE. Often they go UNDETECTED due to the appearance of being HARMLESS THOUGHTS. For instance, MURDER, that is, the SHEDDING of BLOOD, does not have to be experienced PHYSICALLY, one can do so by CHARACTER ASSASSINATION. In other words, SLANDERING others is just as detrimental in that it effects the PERSON who does so, the PERSON who hears it, and the PERSON who is being talked about. When this occurs, it brings great DESTRUCTION to the IDEA of a COLLECTIVE SOUL. The IDEA that is being presented is an admonition against such behavior and much more.

As aforementioned, there are certain DESIRES that ONE MUST war against in order to experience TRANSFORMATION. In the WARFARE, the HOST SOUL transforms the DESIRE OF THE WORLD (receiving) into the DESIRE to be ONE with G-d (GIVING). The INTENTION exercised to TRANSFORM the DESIRE to RECEIVE into the DESIRE to GIVE creates a SCREEN that acts as a DRUM repelling the FORCE of RECEIVING into a SOUND and SENSATION that is to be SEEN and felt. The SOUND is like unto the WINNING of the WAR, the SENSATION is like unto the WOMAN of BEAUTIFUL form. The experience of both is to be LIKE G-d.

On the other hand, to be ONE with G-d requires that the GIVING be pure, that is, without RECIPROCATION experienced as SENSATION. This is the HIGHEST GOAL. Thus the instructions reveal that to  make the SENSATION less desirable will achieve the HIGHEST GOAL, yea, SHAVE her head and let her nails grow. Thus in the CORRECTION to achieve the HIGHEST GOAL, we must seek to TRANSFORM receiving into PURE GIVING by eliminating the SENSATION.
