LECH LECHA, Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT LECH LECHA by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “So Abram went up from Egypt, he with his wife and all that was his, and Lot with him to the south.” (Genesis 13:1) In this passage contained within TORAH, the journey of AVRAHAM continues. The journey is indicative of the PATH that is trekked by a HOST SOUL in pursuit of the HIGHER DIMENSIONS. These HIGHER DIMENSIONS are experienced in OLAM HABA, that is, the world to come.

OLAM HABA is experienced in the CONSCIOUS STATE termed the HOLY OF HOLIES. The HOLY OF HOLIES is descriptive of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is destined to be experienced within the PHYSICAL BODY. The ATTAINMENT of this state is what gives rise to ASCENSION out of SUFFERING resulting from the unfoldment of KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE and BLISS. The scenario reveals that one who is on the PATH can accelerate the ASCENSION by following the MECHANICS disclosed IN AVRAHAM. Following the MECHANICS disclosed IN AVRAHAM not only results in PERSONAL ATTAINMENT, but also CORRECTION in the COLLECTIVE SOUL that will engender the experience of HEAVEN ON EARTH, which is the INFOLDMENT of a NEW CIVILIZATION.

The MECHANIC disclosed to ABRAHAM reveals that PERSONAL ATTAINMENT of the HIGHER DIMENSIONS is effected by those who we company with. It is written, “One who walks with the wise will now wise, but the companion of fools will be broken.” (Proverbs 13:20) From the perspective of the PARZUF (SPIRITUAL FORM), wisdom is the quality of the SEFIRAH termed CHOCHMAH. This quality is experienced as non-differentiation. As aforementioned, the ATTAINMENT of this SPIRITUAL STATE is effected by walking with one who has ATTAINED. The journey is one in which the MOVEMENT is experienced as an ASCENSION from FAITH to KNOWLEDGE. The KNOWLEDGE that is gained is the INFOLDMENT of ONENESS with ECHAD. The journey with the WISE requires LOYALTY and submission to the instructions that are demonstrated both in WORD and DEED.
