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.
