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.
