TERUMAH Part 2
Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT TERUMAH by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained in the SIDRAH, it is written, “You shall make the Tabernacle of ten curtains, lined, twisted, with turquoise, purple, and scarlet wool, with a woven design of cherubim shall you make them… You shall make fifty hooks of gold, and you shall attach the curtains to one another with the hooks, so that the Tabernacle shall become one.” (Exodus 26:6,6) In this passage contained in TORAH is the SCENARIO disclosing the INSTRUCTIONS on the CREATION of “COVERS of the TABERNACLE.” No doubt, the purposes for the CREATION of the COVERS of the TABERNACLE is as stated, that is, “that the Tabernacle shall become one.”
The goal of CREATION is that we would become ONE with ECHAD (G-d). In order to accomplish the GOAL, the SUPERNAL predetermined to pour HIMSELF into the human conscious experience. The process commenced as the result of the EMANATING LIGHT, penetrating the ETERNAL STATE of the UNLIMITED, creating SPACE and TIME. As the EMANATING LIGHT penetrated the UNLIMITED, it left behind in SPACE and TIME, RESIDUE. The RESIDUE is QUALITIES of the SUPERNAL. These QUALITIES were CONCEALED for the purpose of INDIVIDUALIZATION. Thus CREATION is a combination of both REVEALED and CONCEALED aspects of G-d.
The TABERNACLE is a representation of the CONCEALED aspect of ECHAD. The CONCEALMENT is depicted as the COVERS THEREOF, yea, the COVERS CONCEAL the glory that is within the TABERNACLE. This is a representation of the human conscious experience.
The human conscious experience is a COMBINATION of the FINITE (dust) and the INFINITE, that is, the SOUL. The SOUL is the INDIVIDUALIZED ASPECT of G-d. The clothing of the SOUL, that is, the PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL and MENTAL bodies, are coverings CONCEALING the QUALITIES of the SUPERNAL that are hidden within. As aforementioned, the necessity of the COVERS is for the purpose of INDIVIDUALIZATION.
The CONCEALMENT is not purposed to be an ETERNAL STATE, but rather, it is the INDIVIDUALIZATION that is without END. The GOAL of CREATION, which gives rise to the ACTUALIZATION of our CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD, is the process that the INDIVIDUAL is undergoing. This process which is ONE of UNCOVERING can be ACCELERATED by engaging in the CORRECTION. ENGAGING in the CORRECTION requires three components. Those components are a TEACHER, TORAH and a COMMUNITY of LIKEMINDED PEOPLE, yea, hid within our TABERNACLES (bodies) are treasures of UNLIMITED POTENTIAL that when uncovered give rise to the MANIFESTATION of the GLORY of ECHAD.
