VAYISHLACH Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT VAYISHLACH by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “Jacob arrived intact at the city of Shechem which is in the land of Canaan, upon his arriving from Paddan-aram, and he encamped before the city. He bought the parcel of land upon which he pitched his tent from the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred kesitahs. ” (Genesis 33:18,19)  In this disclosure, Torah reveals that after undergoing numerous challenges, YAACOB returns safely to the land that had been predetermined by ECHAD to DWELL therein. His SOJOURN to LABAN’S house is a revelation of the ONE becoming MANY. His return is a revelation of the MANY BECOMING ONE, that is, the GOAL of CREATION.

The SOJOURNING of YAACOB representing the GOAL of CREATION was executed in harmony with the revelation that he had received at BETH-EL. In that place he dreamt a dream that disclosed what ECHAD had predetermined at the CAUSAL LEVEL, that is, the Holy of Holies. The dream revealed that his ATTAINMENT of a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD would not only be REALIZED but ACTUALIZED. The ACTUALIZATION would be experienced as A CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD that MANIFEST as being PROTECTED wherever he would go and RETURN to where he ORIGINATED without being FORSAKEN. This MANIFESTATION would not be experienced without CHALLENGES. The CHALLENGES are those forces that seemingly OPPOSE what had been PREDETERMINED.

The opposition that YAACOB experienced was purposed to AID his TRANSFORMATION from being CORPOREAL to SPIRITUAL. The CHALLENGE was not to REJECT that SEEMINGLY NEGATIVE EVENT, but rather to EMBRACE them until they became a BLESSING. The BLESSING has to do with transforming the QUALITIES of the EGO to QUALITIES that are ONE WITH ECHAD.

Likewise our SOJOURN is the SAME. This is based upon the EMET that we are the SAME GENERATION that has received the INFORMATION that will give rise to the FULFILLMENT of what has been promised to YAACOB our PATRIARCH.

VAYISHLACH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is VAYISHLACH. The IVRI transliteration VAYISHLACH is interpreted into the ENGLISH term SENT. The PARASHAT VAYISHLACH begins its UNFOLDMENT with a SCENARIO of EVENTS descriptive of the CHALLENGES that YAACOB encountered in his return to his ABBA’S house. This SCENARIO of EVENTS is a REVELATION of the trek in the JOURNEY of the MANY BECOMING ONE. In other words, it reveals what has been predetermined in the Holy of Holies (Causal level) in the INFOLDMENT of the GOAL of CREATION, that is, the ATTAINMENT of those who are undergoing the human conscious experience of a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. The ATTAINMENT is experienced as both the revelation and actualization of the SUPERNAL that is latent within.

The following description contained within the SCENARIO discloses the PATH of the ATTAINMENT, it is written, “Then Jacob said, God of my father Abraham and God of my father ISAAC; HaShem Who said to me, Return to your land and to your relatives and I will do good with you - I have been diminished by all the kindnesses and by all the truth that You have done Your servant; for with my staff I crossed this Jordan and now I have become two camps.” (Genesis 32:10,11) In this passage of TORAH, the process that we are destined to undergo in the realization and actualization of our CONSCIOUS UNION is disclosed. Our PATRIARCH YAACOB speaks of the DIMINISHING of the EGO through the KINDNESSES of ECHAD. The KINDNESSES experienced by YAACOB are descriptive of the PROCESS of ECHAD pouring out CORPOREAL blessings upon him. The INTENT of this outpouring of BLESSINGS is to expand the EGO to the place where ECHAD can begin to pour HIMSELF into the VESSEL, yea, the VESSEL was created opposite of ECHAD with the idea of TRANSFORMATION. The TRANSFORMATION occurs as a result of the CREATOR’S NATURE to GIVE. By creating us as receivers, the NATURE of the CREATOR is fulfilled with the idea of our participation in the process of the TRANSFORMATION. Thus the DIMINISHING of the EGO is not its destruction, but rather the ASCENSION into the ATTAINMENT of a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD.

VAYEITZEI

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is VAYEITZEI. The IVRI transliteration VAYEITZEI means DEPARTED. This biblical scenario is a record of the SOJOURN of our PATRIARCH YAACOB from his father’s house to that to that of his uncle LABAN. The CAUSAL PERSPECTIVE of this SOJOURN discloses a change of LOCATION that will give rise to A CHANGE of the RESHIMO.

 The aspect of the RESHIMOT that we are making reference to is the ORDER of the EXTERNAL EVENTS predetermined by the Holy Blessed One of YISRAEL. These events were PREDETERMINED BY ECHAD to effect YAACOB’S ASCENSION into a CONSCIOUS UNION with G-d. The realization of this CONSCIOUS union with G-d is destined to be realized and actualized. The actualization of this CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD will manifest in the EARTHEN VESSEL as KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE and BLISS. The foundation of this process is the result of the human conscious experience being a part of the ECOLOGY, yea, the pressure without is destined to manifest the INFORMATION within. The information within is that the SOUL is ONE WITH G-d.

The change of LOCATION from his father’s place to his uncles was the product of YAACOB exercising FREE WILL. Even though our EXTERNAL EVENTS and INTERNAL INFORMATION is predetermined, we are free to choose the PATH. ONCE that PATH is entered, our choices become more limited. Basically we choose either to be RIGHTEOUS or WICKED. Rather than YAACOB choosing the PATH of LEAST RESISTANCE, he chose the PATH revealed by his ABBA. His ABBA YITZCHAK had learned to follow that which had been chosen by ECHAD. To build CONFIDENCE in himself, YAACOB experiences a DREAM of CLARITY.

BASICALLY, there are 2 CATEGORIES of DREAMS that we concern ourselves with. Those CATEGORIES are termed KARMIC DREAMS and DREAMS of CLARITY. KARMIC DREAMS disclose PAST EVENTS that are on the SUBCONSCIOUS LEVEL. On the other hand, DREAMS of CLARITY are revelations of PREDETERMINED events in the CAUSAL WORLD. It is the EMPLOYMENT of these DREAMS in the PURPOSE that they are GIVEN that aid in the CORRECTION and the PURIFICATION of the SUBCONSCIOUS LEVEL.

TOLDOT Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT TOLDOT by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “There was famine in the land, aside from the first that was in the days of Abraham; and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar… Sojourn in this land and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your offspring will I give all these lands, and establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father… Isaac  sowed in that land, and in that year he reaped a hundredfold; thus had HaShem blessed him.” (Genesis 26:1,4,12) In this biblical scenario of the SOJOURN of our PATRIARCH YITZCHAK is a SPIRITUAL LAW disclosing the RELATIONSHIP between the SPIRITUAL and CORPOREAL worlds. the LAW is that the CORPOREAL world is MANAGED by the SPIRITUAL WORLD.

This EMET (truth) is substantiated by looking at the ROOT LANGUAGE in relationship to the EVENTS described in the narrative. The ROOT LANGUAGE is the disclosure of the HOLY of HOLIES, that is, PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, and how the forces within It OPERATE.
The SCENARIO REVEALS that there are SUPERNAL FORCES without that work in behalf of the unfoldment and infoldment of the GOAL of CREATION. The GOAL of CREATION is the MANY BECOMING ONE. The ONE that we are BECOMING is G-d. YITZCHAK had learned these TEACHINGS from his ABBA, AVRAHAM, and had put them to PRACTICE. The PRACTICE that he EMPLOYED is what is termed the CORRECTION.

The CORRECTION when practiced gives rise to AN ASCENSION from the CORPOREAL WORLD into the SPIRITUAL WORLD, that is, PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The SPIRITUAL WORLD is the CAUSE of the CORPOREAL WORLD. As the CAUSE, the SPIRITUAL WORLD is of GREATER AUTHORITY. The GREATER AUTHORITY of the SPIRITUAL WORLD is employed to MANAGE the CORPOREAL WORLD. This EMET can be seen in the EVENT of the SPIRITUAL MAN (YITZCHAK) prospering materially in a TIME of FAMINE. Indeed the DESRIE for SPIRITUAL THINGS gives rise to ascension into the AUTHORITY to MANAGE MATERIAL THINGS.

TOLDOT

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is TOLDOT. The IVRI transliteration TOLDOT is indicative of the English term DESCENDENTS.

Words are descriptions of the SENSATIONS that we experience inwardly. The DESCENDENTS of a people are vessels in which the information of the people are gathered in order to produce THOUGHT in response to the EVENTS that are experienced without. This EMET discloses that our thinking is programed.

The program is established in that CONSCIOUS STATE termed PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, that is, the HOLY of HOLIES in MISHKAHN DAVID. This principle is substantiated in the REVELATION received by MELECH DAVID who declared, “… O Hashem, You have scrutinized me and you know. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought from afar. You encompass my path and my repose, You are familiar with all my ways. For the word is not yet on my tongue, behold, HASHEM, You knew it all. Back and front You have restricted me, and You have laid Your hand upon me. Knowledge is beyond me; exalted, I am incapable of it.” (Psalm 139:1b-6) In this passage of KETHUVIM, it is revealed that the THOUGHTS that we have are KNOWN to ECHAD. This EMET (truth) is based upon the IDEA that they are predetermined by ECHAD.

As aforementioned, the INFORMATION that is within is a product of our ANCESTORS. When an EVENT occurs, the ANCESTRAL INFORMATION appears producing THOUGHT. Often the thought that is experienced is one of CHOICE, yea, I can choose to act in HARMONY with the SPIRITUAL WORLD or in harmony with the CORPOREAL world. Thus the FREE WILL is only experienced in a LIMITED WAY. The LIMITATION is there for the purpose of GUARANTEEING that what ECHAD has DECREED will come to PASS. The DECREE of ECHAD is that those who are undergoing the HUMAN CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE will REALIZE and ACTUALIZE our CONSCIOUS UNION with G-d, thus fulfilling the GOAL of being made in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of ECHAD. Indeed it is a PROCESS.

CHAYEI SARAH Part 3

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT CHAYEI SARAH by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “Now Abraham was old, well on in years, and HASHEM had blessed Abraham with everything.” (Genesis 24:1) In this passage found in Torah is the revelation that our PATRIARCH AVRAHAM had reached the LEVEL of ATTAINMENT described as “being blessed with everything.” This description of being blessed with everything is the ATTAINMENT of a CONSCIOUS UNION with G-d. The EMET that ABRAHAM had ATTAINED a CONSCIOUS UNION with G-d can be comprehended by the following revelation given to the NAVI Isaiah, it is written, “Thus said HaShem,  your Redeemer and the One Who formed you from the womb: I am HaShem, Who has made everything; Who spread out the heaven by Myself, and firmed the earth of My own accord.” (Isaiah 44:24) In this prophetic utterance, it is disclosed that the Holy Blessed One of YISRAEL is the CREATOR of everything. Thus to be blessed with EVERYTHING is to be blessed with the CREATOR, for indeed ECHAD is One with His CREATION.

The ATTAINMENT experienced by AVRAHAM was ASCENSION out of the NARROW EXISTENCE of the EGO into a COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS. This ATTAINMENT is becoming CONSCIOUS of the Truth of Being. This EMET is not only the gaining of the KNOWLEDGE that we are in the WHOLE of REALITY, but also that we are that REALITY.

In the WHOLE of REALITY, we exist as a particular QUALITY of ECHAD. In the CORPOREAL WORLD, this QUALITY is embodied. The embodiment is termed DIVINE PURPOSE. Because it is SUPERNAL in nature, it is experienced as the DESIRE to BESTOW. The DESIRE to BESTOW is opposite to the DESIRE of the EGO, which is to RECEIVE. Thus ASCENSION into this ATTAINMENT is the product of TRANSFORMATION. The TRANSFORMATION occurs by employing the METHOD of MISHKAHN DAVID, that is, ascension from BODY CONSCIOUSNESS into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS through the revelations of the Holy Spirit. 

CHAYEI SARAH Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT CHAYEI SARAH by placing our ATTENTION upon the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “Then Abraham rose up and bowed to the representatives of the people of the land to the Sons of Heth. He spoke with them saying if you have within your soul to bury my dead from before me heed me and intercede for me with Ephron son of Zohar.” (Genesis 23:7,8) When this passage of Torah is viewed from the perspective of the Holy of Holies in MISHKAHN DAVID, it is disclosed as a revelation of how to ATTAIN the HIGHER LEVELS of SPIRITUALITY in PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The objective of the ATTAINMENT of the HIGHER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS is the ACTUALIZATION of OUR CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD in the PHYSICAL BODY. In other words, it is to BECOME ONE WITH the CREATOR.

The method revealed in the ROOT LANGUAGE of the passage is what is employed in MISHKAHN DAVID to experience an ASCENSION into the HIGHER GRADES within the SOUL. The grades within the SOUL are NEFESH, RUACH, NESHAMAH, CHAYAH and YECHIDAH respectively. These grades contain QUALITIES of ECHAD that manifest as LIGHT comprising the SOUL. The HIGHER the GRADE, the GREATER the INTENSITY. To experience these grades within the SOUL, one must undergo a process that gives rise to revealing the LIGHT. The process is like unto removing a SHADE that covers LIGHT.

The passage contained within the SIDRAH discloses our PATRIARCH AVRAHAM’S requesting that the sons of Heth would look within their SOULS for a revelation in response to his inquisition. The request is a revelation of the METHOD to be employed in order to make the ASCENSION.

The revelation is that the experiences that we have that are seemingly NEGATIVE are in reality a CONCEALED state of ECHAD. What is CONCEALED about it is a COMBINATION of the LIMITED PERCEPTION of the SENSES along with NEGATIVE feelings giving rise to viewing the event as not being a blessing from ECHAD. The thought of CREATION is that ECHAD only pours out INFINITE BLESSING upon us, but with only sensing 10% of reality, it does seem so. Thus the METHOD is to EMBRACE what is seen as negative by questioning the SOUL. This corrected form of CONFESSION is the COMMENCEMENT of revealing the SOUL that is covered with IGNORANCE.

After embracing the seemingly NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE and QUESTIONING, the DESIRE to be led by the HOLY SPIRIT is next. The HOLY SPIRIT is given to reveal the HDDEN QUALITIES of LIGHT in the SOUL. The continuation of this process of ASCENSION in MISHKAHN DAVID will engender the revelation of the SOUL which is the ACTUALIZATION of our CONSCIOUS UNION WITH ECHAD. 

CHAYEI SARAH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is CHAYEI SARAH. The IVRI transliteration CHAYEI SARAH is indicative of the idea of SARAH’S LIFETIME. The portion begins its unfoldment with the SCENARIO of the age in which our MATRIARCH underwent her transition into what is termed OLAM HABA, that is, the world to come. From the perspective of MISHKAHN DAVID, OLAM HABA is what is termed the Holy of Holies. The Holy of Holies is the world above this present world. It lies outside of body consciousness, that is, the Holy Place, far above what can be experienced by the the 5 SENSES.

The EMET (truth) that OLAM HABA lies beyond what can be experienced by the 5 senses, is not to say that while present in the physical body, it is beyond COMPREHENSION. On the contrary, the COMPREHENSION of OLAM HABA is to be the GOAL to be met while occupying the PHYSICAL BODY. OLAM HABA which is beyond SPACE, TIME and MOTION is experienced as PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. In particular, when PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is ATTAINED, the NATURE is transformed giving rise to experiencing the QUALITIES of KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE and BLISS. This ATTAINMENT is the end of ALL SUFFERING.

OLAM HABA is the SPIRITUAL WORLD, when the SOUL is separated from the PHYSICAL BODY, it ascends into this place which is termed the Holy of Holies, yea, King Solomon declares that It returns to the CREATOR. READ ECCLESIASTES 12:6,7. This return is not a cessation of CONSCIOUSNESS, but rather a TRANSITION to a WIDER EXISTENCE. In other words, from the HOLY of HOLIES, it is seen that there is no death in LIFE, but rather CHANGE.

VAYEIRA Part 3

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT VAYEIRA by focusing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “Abraham arose early in the morning to the place where he had stood before HASHEM. And he gazed down upon Sodom and Gomorrah and the entire surface of the land of the plain; and saw and behold! the smoke of the earth rose like the smoke of a kiln. And so it was when God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abraham; so He sent Lot from amidst the upheaval when He overturned the cities in which Lot had lived.” (Genesis 19:27-29) In this passage of TORAH, what is being described in the LANGUAGE OF THE BRANCHES is the relationship of the TEACHER and STUDENT. It is this relationship that has been predetermined by the SUPERNAL that gives rise to the STUDENT’S ASCENSION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS.

There are three components that are essential to the ATTAINMENT of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. Those components are TORAH, a TEACHER and a COMMUNITY whose pursuit is THE GOAL of CREATION. The GOAL of CREATION is to become ONE with ECHAD.
As aforementioned, the passage contained in the SIDRAH is a revelation of the relationship of the TEACHER and the STUDENT. In this case, AVRAHAM who is the TEACHER has ATTAINED a HIGH LEVEL of CONSCIOUSNESS that enabled him to see into the CAUSE, i.e. PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is descriptive of the HOLY of HOLIES in MISHKAHN DAVID. Entrance into the CONSCIOUS STATE termed the HOLY of HOLIES may be experienced as sensing what has been predetermined by the SUPERNAL. Is is AVRAHAM’S ATTAINMENT OF THIS STATE that is shared with his STUDENT, LOT. In other words, LOT is able to benefit by the ATTAINMENT of HIS TEACHER. This reveals that the principle of the relationship of a TEACHER and STUDENT in SPIRITUALITY is that the STUDENT is able to experience the ATTAINMENT of the TEACHER until he has ascended into the same level of ATTAINMENT.

The ASCENSION into the same level of ATTAINMENT by the STUDENT to that of the TEACHER requires effort. The effort is that the STUDENT must suppress his EGO and receive INSTRUCTIONS that may seem to OPPOSE. The OPPOSITION is experienced as the result of the EGO being opposite of ECHAD. Thus the revelation of the INSTRUCTION either grows the EGO or gives rise to experiencing the CONCEALED QUALITIES of ECHAD.

Within CREATION, the SUPERNAL is experienced as REVEALED or CONCEALED. When the SUPERNAL is experienced as CONCEALED, the sensation is one of suffering. The suffering in reality is the pouring out of INFINITE BLESSINGS that give rise to the TRANSFORMATION of the vessel from being one of reception to one of bestowal. It may be compared to water that is being poured into a balloon. The more water that is poured into the balloon, the more the balloon will stretch.

As demonstrated in LOT, the breaking off of a CONNECTION with ONE’S TEACHER will lead to a STATE of perpetual confusion, yea, the connections that are built between the TEACHER and the STUDENT, as well as STUDENTS with STUDENTS are ETERNAL, yea, for we are ONE COLLECTIVE soul comprised of TEACHERS and STUDENTS.

VAYEIRA Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT VAYEIRA by focusing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “And HaShem said, Shall I conceal from Abraham what I do, now that Abraham is surely to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by him? For I have loved him, because he commands his children and his household after him that they keep the way of HaShem, doing charity and justice, in order that HaShem might then bring upon Abraham that which He had spoken of him.” (Genesis 18:17-19) In this passage found in TORAH, it is disclosed that the THOUGHT LIFE of AVRAHAM was under the GOVERNANCE of the SUPERNAL. THOUGHT is the product of AFFERENT and EFFERENT MENTAL WAVES traversing through the NERVOUS system, then experiencing pressure external to our physical bodies and returning with messages that form images with the sensation of seeing, hearing, smelling tasting and feeling. These images are formed with MIND STUFF on a SCREEN within the BRAIN. Thus whatever is external to us EFFECTS the way in which we think.

The purpose of EFFECTING our THOUGHT LIFE by the SUPERNAL is to aid in the ATTAINMENT of the GOAL of CREATION. The GOAL of CREATION is that we would realize and actualize our CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. The actualization of the GOAL manifests as KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE (IMMORTALITY) and BLISS in our earthly vessels, yea, we were CREATED in order to experience INFINITE JOY. On the other hand, our experience of SUFFERING is purposed that we might be a part of the ATTAINMENT of the ETERNAL STATE of BLISS. To ensure that the process would not be DENIED, the Holy Blessed ONE of YISRAEL has created LOCATIONS that will EFFECT our thought LIFE in such a way that we ATTAIN the GOAL.

As aforementioned, the experience of SUFFERING is purposed in order that we might have a part in this CORRECTION that gives rise to the UNFOLDMENT of KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE and BLISS. The part that we have been given gives rise to the ACCELERATION of the PROCESS of ending SUFFERING. SINCE the THOUGHT LIFE is the product of OUR ENVIRONMENT, our ability to accelerate has to do with creating a COMMUNITY that is conducive to the PROCESS. Thus if a MINYAN will commit to create a COMMUNITY that will LOVE ONE ANOTHER as ONESELF, and the STUDY of TORAH led by a SPIRITUAL TEACHER, a THOUGHT LIFE can be developed that will engender the creation of heaven on earth and the MAXIMIZING of the SUPERNAL POTENTIAL that is LATENT within.

VAYEIRA

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is VAYEIRA The IVRI transliteration VAYEIRA is interpreted into the English term “APPEARED.” The portion commences with the IDEA of the SUPERNAL appearing in the REALM of TIME and SPACE. To receive clarity concerning the IMPLICATION of the appearance of the SUPERNAL in time and SPACE, we must examine the nature of the APPEARANCE.

To comprehend the NATURE of the APPEARANCE of the SUPERNAL, we must look at the ROOT LANGUAGE. In other words, we must perceive the PRINCIPLES that ANIMATES the SCENARIO. Torah discloses that AVRAHAM was sitting at the entrance of the TENT. The TENT represents the PHYSICAL BODY that is occupied by his soul, the entrance of the tent is a reference as to the place where his SOUL enters and exits the PHYSICAL body. The entrance and exit of the PHYSICAL BODY (GOLEM) is located at the crown (KETER) of the head. The place where one may sit, that is, occupy, the entrance is what has been referred to by the sages as the 3rd eye. Thus in the ROOT LANGUAGE, the scenario is indicative of the practice of MEDITATION.

The practice of MEDITATION is experienced as MIND MODIFICATION. The MODIFICATION may be described as a MOVEMENT that commences at the STATE OF ATTENTION ascending to the FINAL STATE of CONCENTRATION. To MODIFY itself from the STATE of ATTENTION to CONCENTRATION, one must pass thru the INTERMEDIATE STATE termed CONTEMPLATION. In the STATE of CONTEMPLATION, QUESTIONS, ANSWERS and commentary are experienced concerning that which is being MEDITATED UPON. This experience is in REALITY the influence that BEINGS from the SPIRITUAL LEVEL engage with those who abide in body consciousness. It is the HEIGHTENING of the SENSES enabling one to receive REVELATION from the HOLY of HOLIES, I.E. PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, while occupying space and time. Thus the SPIRITUAL WORLD is perceived through MESSENGERS that have descended from the HOLY of HOLIES to the HOLY PLACE. This HEIGHTENING of the SENSES is referred to as CLAIRVOYANCE, CLAIRSENTIENCE, CLAIRAUDIENCE, and the LIKE. Since these are HEIGHTENED SENSES, they are not entrance into the HOLY of HOLIES, but the ability to discern those BEINGS who have DESCENDED into SPACE and TIME to aid with our DEVELOPMENT.
