RE'EH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is RE'EH. The IVRI transliteration RE'EH is interpreted into the English word “SEE.” The sidrah is a scenario containing the bulk of the commandments found in DEVARIM. The portion commences with the NAVI MOSHE’S presentation of the blessing and the curse that is experienced in harmony with obedience and disobedience to the MITZVOT (commandments).

From the perspective of MISHKAHN DAVID, the purpose of the giving of the MITZVOT is to aid the Jewish people in the attainment of the goal of CREATION. The goal of CREATION for those who are undergoing the human conscious experience is to manifest the IMAGE and LIKENESS of ECHAD in the physical body. The manifestation of the IMAGE and LIKENESS of ECHAD in the physical body is the attainment of IMMORTALITY. IMMORTALITY is not a fixed state, but rather a state in which one experiences constant IMPROVEMENT on the CORPOREAL LEVEL without the experience of METIM (death). This state is demonstrated in such men as ENOCH and ELIJAH who did not undergo physical death, but rather a change that led to a higher level of ATTAINMENT.

The ATTAINMENT that is experienced by the majority of those who are undergoing the human conscious experience is that of entrance into the SPEAKING LEVEL. It is the mastery of the SPEAKING LEVEL that engenders the experience of PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY. The ATTAINMENT commences as ascension above MACHSOM (the barrier) that lies between the BODY CONSCIOUSNESS (the corporeal) and PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS (the spiritual). From the branch language of TORAH, statements such as “crossing the Jordan, into the land of CANAAN” represents ascension above the barrier that lies between the corporeal and the spiritual. In the sidrah, we are told that crossing the Jordan is to be followed by coming to MOUNT GERIZIM and MOUNT EBAL where the blessing and curse is to be HEARD.

The knowledge of the blessing and the curse is a revelation of the mechanics that are destined to be employed in the ascension into the GOAL of CREATION, that is, PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY. The blessing that is experienced as inspiration is destined to aid in the ascension. On the other hand, the curse that is experienced because of disobedience is destined to aid us in guidance on the “PATH.” Thus the sufferings that we experience are in reality SIGNS and WONDERS to aid in REPENTANCE, yea, it is the changing of the MIND, that is, TRANSFORMATION of the INTENTION that gives rise to ASCENSION.

Therefore the PARASHAT commences with the idea to SEE, that is, comprehend what is beyond the BARRIER and first experience the MECHANIC that engenders the unfoldment of PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY.
