EMOR

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the interpretation of the TITLE of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is EMOR. The IVRI transliteration EMOR is interpreted into the WORD “SAY.” The PARASHAT starts out with the SCENARIO of the HOLY BLESSED ONE of YISRAEL giving instructions to MOSHE REBEYNU disclosing standards to the KOHANIM on how to maintain a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD, yea, it is the responsibility of SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP in the establishment of and maintenance of the COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS of a SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY.

Concerning the responsibility of establishing and maintaining the COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS of a SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY, the NAVI ISAIAH received the following VISION, it is written, “I know their actions and their thoughts; the time has come to gather all nations and tongues, they will come and see My glory. I will put a sign upon them and send some of them as survivors to the nations - Tarshish, Pul, Lud, the Achers, Tubal and Javan, the distant islands who have not heard of My fame and not seen My glory - and they will declare My glory among the nations. They will bring all your brethren from all the nations as an offering to HaShem - with horses and with chariots and with covered wagons and with mules - with joyous dances, to My holy mountain, Jerusalem, says HaShem; just as the Children of Israel bring the offering in a pure vessel to the House of HaShem. From them, too, I will take men to be Kohanim and Levites, says HaShem.” (Isaiah 66:18-21) From this passage contained within the NEVIIM, we are able to discern that Echad has predetermined to raise up KOHANIM (priests) and LEVITES for the purpose of the gathering together of all nations and languages to witness to His GLORY as well as the aiding of BENEI YISRAEL in returning to a CONSCIOUS ONENESS. The glory which is described as the visible manifestation of His INVISIBLE  attributes in reality is the uncovering of His CONCEALED qualities that are latent within the ALL. The functions of these KOHANIM and Levites are diverse from those in the past. No doubt this indicates that we are undergoing evolution in a UNIVERSE of BECOMING.

The KOHANIM and LEVITES employ the METHODOLOGY of MISHKAHN DAVID creating an INTEGRAL EDUCATION with the foundation being the KNOWLEDGE of ECHAD, it is written, “They will neither injure nor destroy in all of My sacred mountain; for the earth will be as filled with knowledge of HaShem as water covering the sea bed.” (Isaiah 11:9)

The authority of the KOHANIM and Levites is based on the revelation of the NAME ECHAD, yea, it is written, “HaShem will be King over all the land; on that day HaShem will be One and His Name will be One.” (Zechariah 14:9)

The glory that will be made manifest is ETERNAL LIFE without the possibility of death. The KOHANIM and LEVITES have begun the unfoldment of GLORY as seen by the NEVIIM that envision the EVERLASTING KINGDOM predetermined by ECHAD to take place on earth. READ ISAIAH 25:8.

ACHAREI

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is ACHAREI. The IVRI transliteration ACHAREI may be interpreted into the term “AFTER.” The PARASHAT begins its unfoldment with the revelation of the TIME that the instructions were given to MOSHE REBEYNU concerning the effecting of YOM KIPPUR. YOM KIPPUR is the Day of ATONEMENT.

The root language discloses the ATONEMENT to be the process that is employed in the ACTUALIZATION of our CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. The human conscious experience, which is a combination of FINITE and INFINITE components, was effected by the descension into the lower grades of the SOUL. In other words, the scenario of ADAM and EVE partaking of the TREE of the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL is illustrative of descending into a perspective of being separated from ECHAD. The separation is one of CONSCIOUSNESS. The consciousness is the sensation of being ISOLATED, that is, separated from ECHAD. The ATONEMENT is a conscious ascension experienced in the SOUL. When the ATONEMENT is effected, the sensation is described as ONE with G-d.

The sensation of ONE with G-d is one of STILLNESS, PEACE, QUIETNESS and CONFIDENCE. READ ISAIAH 30:15. The sensation is ATTAINED through the AID of a SPIRITUAL TEACHER. The instructions given to MOSHE REBEYNU are a revelation of the MECHANICS to be employed by the SPIRITUAL TEACHER. It commences with the idea that the SPIRITUAL TEACHER who is to aid others in the ATTAINMENT of the ATONEMENT must first make the ATTAINMENT for him/her self., yea, one cannot lead someone where one has not been. The ATONEMENT is ASCENSION into LIFE without END. The ATTAINMENT of the ATONEMENT is a process in which one goes in and out CONSCIOUSLY until it is complete. For this reason, the SPIRITUAL TEACHER is one that is to be followed until the process is complete giving rise to the experience of DUPLICATION whereas the protege becomes the TEACHER.

TAZRIA

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the portion is termed TAZRIA. The IVRI transliteration TAZRIA may be interpreted “she conceives.” The PARASHAT TAZRIA is initiated with the SCENARIO on laws that deal with childbirth and purification. The question is, what is implied by the instructions given concerning purification.

The human conscious experience is comprised of two components. Those components are that which is finite and that which is infinite. The finite component is the opposite of the nature of the SUPERNAL. While the infinite component is the absolute nature of the SUPERNAL. The goal of creation is the manifestation of the CONCEALED nature of the SUPERNAL latent with the FINITE COMPONENT of the CORPOREAL.

The SUPERNAL NATURE of the HUMAN CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE is what is termed the SOUL. The SOUL is comprised of 5 levels of CONSCIOUSNESS termed the NEFEST, the RUWACH, the NESHAMAH, the CHAYAH and the YECHIDAH respectively. The level of consciousness that is ATTAINED within the SOUL determines the way we perceive ourselves. The ASCENSION into the HIGHEST LEVEL within the SOUL, that is, the YECHIDAH, is how the goal of CREATION is ATTAINED. The SOUL is UNAFFECTED by the choices that are made, whether good or evil, but rather the choices that are made effect the level of CONSCIOUS ATTAINMENT within the SOUL. Thus the purpose of undergoing the CORRECTION is not the purification of the SOUL, but rather the ASCENSION into the HIGHER LEVELS where its CONCEALED nature is revealed.

The PARASHAT TAZRIA begins with the revelation of instructions on how to effect the CORPOREAL COMPONENTS of  the HUMAN CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE that will lead to the ATTAINMENT of ASCENSION into the HIGHER LEVELS of the SOUL. By doing so, we are empowered to MANIFEST a lifestyle that will give rise to the experience of ETERNAL LIFE and UNBOUND JOY.

SHEMINI Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus on the PARASHAT SHEMINI by employing the following passage found in the SIDRAH as a seed of contemplation. It is written, “Moses and AARON came to the Tent of Meeting, and they went out and they blessed the people - and the glory of HaSehm appeared to the entire people.” (Leviticus 9:23) The instructions given to the NAVI (prophet) Moshe prior to the unfoldment of the epiphany experienced by AM YISRAEL disclosed that before the people could bear witness to the GLORY of G-d, a protocol must be followed. The protocol was that the SPIRITUAL LEADERS must be first partakers of the GLORY, that is, the visible manifestation of ECHAD’S CONCEALED QUALITIES, before the people. In other words, the messengers, that is, SPIRITUAL LEADERS sent by ECHAD, are not to minister based upon the ASSERTION of others, but rather as a result of personal experience. The experience of the GLORY of ECHAD is not to be a philosophical discussion, but an ATTAINMENT caused by a CONSCIOUS ASCENSION. No doubt this is based upon the principle that there is a PURPOSE in seeing the GLORY of G-d.

The purpose of the appearance of the GLORY of ECHAD is that of TRANSFORMATION. In other words, it is a SUPERNAL MECHANIC that aids in achieving the GOAL of CREATION. The GOAL of CREATION which is the realization and actualization of ONENESS with G-d is made manifest when we ATTAIN ETERNAL LIFE. ETERNAL LIFE without the possibility of DEATH is the UNLIMITED POTENTIAL that is concealed within everyone who is undergoing the HUMAN CONSCIOUS experience. TORAH teaches that we are to choose LIFE, so that you will live. In other words, the goal is to be LIBERATED from the LIMITATION that we experience and unfold the HIDDEN LIFE that is concealed within. To do so, it takes a people who ECHAD has predetermined to accomplish it first, and then bless all of humanity in accomplishing the SAME.

The aforementioned passage discloses that experiencing the GLORY of ECHAD is to aid in the ATTAINMENT of ETERNAL LIFE. The SPIRITUAL LAW REVEALS that we become what we constantly focus upon. The idea of one who sees G-d will not continue to live is not one of destruction, but rather a revelation of TRANSFORMATION. Confidence is gained when those who witness to others who have ATTAINED is that they can accomplish the SAME.

We are living in a realm in SPACE and TIME where DEATH can be consumed by ETERNAL LIFE. Now is the TIME to heed to the CALL and fulfill the GOAL of LIBERATION FROM LIMITATION and the MANIFESTATION of ETERNAL LIFE.

CHAG MATZAH

Shalom Shalom, We commence our focus upon CHAG MATZAH by contemplating the following passage contained in TORAH. It is written, “Moses said to the people, Remember this day on which you departed from Egypt; from the house of bondage, for with a strong hand HaShem removed you from here, and therefore chametz may not be eaten… For a seven day period shall you eat matzos, and on the seventh day there shall be a festival to HaShem. Matzos shall be eaten through-out the seven day period: no chametz may be seen in your possession, nor may leaven be seen in your possession in all your borders.” (Exodus 13:3,6,7) In this passage of Torah, we are given the SCENARIO concerning the INSTRUCTIONS that were given to Moshe Rebeynu on the observance of CHAG MATZAH, that is, the Feast of Unleaven Bread.

The instructions reveal that during this seven day period following the PESACH SEDER that CHAMETZ is forbidden and MATZOT is to be eaten. It is further disclosed that the eating of MATZOT during this seven day period is to be accompanied by the internal action of REMEMBRANCE. In other words, we are instructed to contemplate the purpose for the eating of MATZOT over the seven day period.

From the perspective of MISHKAHN DAVID, contemplation is one of the MECHANICS employed in the prayer of MEDITATION. MISHKAHN DAVID employs three levels of prayer in making the ASCENSION into the HOLY of HOLIES, that is, PURE SOUL CONSCIOUS. On the outer court, CARPET PRAYERS are employed, which are comprised of SUPPLICATION, INTERCESSION and the PRESENTATION of ONESELF to the SERVICE of ECHAD, Blessed be His Name. In the Holy Place, STRUCTURED PRAYERS from the SIDDUR are employed as the service of the HEART. To ASCEND into the Holy of Holies, the PRAYER of MEDITATION is employed to experience ONENESS with G-d. Discerning the different levels of prayer suggests that the INSTRUCTIONS to remember, that is, contemplate, the eating of MATZOT during the seven day feast is a call to MEDITATION.

Focusing our ATTENTION on the eating of MATZAH during the seven day period is purposed to AID in our ASCENSION into LIBERATION from LIMITATION. The ATTAINMENT experienced by meditation upon the instructions to eat MATZAH gives rise to becoming conscious of the HIGHER LEVELS of the SOUL. Those levels being the NESHAMAH, the CHAYAH and the YECHIDAH. In these Higher levels of CONSCIOUSNESS, we are destined to experience the LIBERATION as VISIONS, DREAMS OF CLARITY, KNOWLEDGE of the truth of Being and BLISS. The ASCENSION proves to be one that exceeds the performance of RITUAL and the ATTAINMENT of the JOY we are commanded to experience in this season.
