MISHPATIM Part 3

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT MISHPATIM by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “One who strikes a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death. But for one who had not lain in ambush and God had caused it to come to his hand, I shall provide you a place to which he shall flee.” (Exodus 21:12,13)  In this passage of TORAH, we are given a scenario that deals with causing the DEATH of another in particular. The scenario deals with premeditated or intentional murder and causing the death of another unintentionally. The LAWS revealed in the SCENARIO are an expression of the principles contained in the Holy of Holies, the is, the UPPER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS that govern CREATION.

According to CABALISTIC THINKERS, CREATION is the product of what is termed TZIM TZUM. TZIM TZUM is the force that caused the APPEARANCE of CREATION in what might be termed the UNLIMITED. CREATION is a combination of LIMITATION and that which is UNLIMITED. It is the result of an EMANATING LIGHT penetrating the UNLIMITED creating a SPACE containing the RESIDUE of that LIGHT. No doubt the purpose of this new creation that appears to be OPPOSITE of G-d was to give rise to the MANIFESTATION of the QUALITIES of G-d being the product of VOLITION. VOLITION would be the power to receive the OUTPOURING of G-d’s blessing giving rise to the revelation of His CONCEALED ATTRIBUTES latent within.
 The force that was employed in creating this new creation caused the manifestation of contrast. The manifestation of contrast required a spiritual law that would aid in the CONCEALED QUALITIES of G-d latent within to appear. That law is what is termed the law of RHYTHMIC SWING. Yea, the LAW would give rise to the experience of going from one extreme to the OTHER until BALANCE is achieved. When BALANCE is achieved, the CONCEALED qualities of the SUPERNAL are REVEALED.

The SCENARIO in the passage of this DEVAR TORAH is the product of the principle found in the UPPER LEVELS to achieve BALANCE, yea, to take a life is BALANCED by the giving of a life. It is JUSTICE executed by the JUDGMENT of the SUPERNAL.

It is JUDGMENT that will give rise to the Jewish people fulfilling our purpose in OLAM. The NAVI Daniel wrote, “But judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion to be annihilated and to be destroyed completely. And the kingship, the dominion and the grandeur of the kingdoms under all the heavens will be given to the holy supreme nation, its kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve it.” (Daniel 7:26,27) Yea, we are destined to move n harmony with the BALANCING of CREATION through the execution of SUPERNAL JUDGMENT.
