BESHALACH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by Focusing our ATTENTION upon the following remembrance contained in the PARASHAT BESHALACH. The scenario records the account of ECHAD, Blessed be His Name, strengthening the thought life of Pharaoh to oppose the liberation of BENEI YISRAEL. The purpose of the opposition was to provide knowledge to MITZRAYIM of the Holy Blessed One of Yisrael. This provision of the Supernal Knowledge would also manifest to the rest of OLAM that the tradition of the Jew is the path to life.

The question is, Why was it necessary for ECHAD to provide knowledge of Himself to others than Yisrael? The answer commences with the GOAL of CREATION. The goal of Creation is that the Creature becomes like the Creator. The process of becoming commences with KNOWING.

To have the experience of KNOWING requires three COMPONENTS. Those components are a KNOWER, the potential of KNOWING and that which is KNOWN. The KNOWER is CORPOREAL. The potential of KNOWING is SPIRITUAL and that which is KNOWN can either be CORPOREAL or SPIRITUAL. That which is KNOWN is experienced SUBJECTIVELY. Thus making the KNOWER, KNOWING and what is KNOWN ONE. By ECHAD making HIMSELF KNOWN to them, it will give rise to those who reject HIM to the experience of TRANSFORMATION. Those who reject ECHAD will experience SUFFERING that leads to transformation. All have been predetermined to unfold as ONE WITH ECHAD. One by way of BLESSING and the Other by way of SUFFERING.

We have been given FREE WILL (volition) to choose the path we will trek. The PATH of THE JEW, that is, the lifestyle of JUDAISM gives rise to the experience of BLESSING. The path way that opposes JUDAISM gives rise to the experience of SUFFERING. Regardless to the choice that is made, it will lead to the REVELATION of TRANSFORMATION. Yea, it is the NATURE of ECHAD to pour out HIMSELF on that which is opposite of HIM to fulfill the GOAL of CREATION.
