KI TISA

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing upon the following scenario contained in the SIDRAH. The portion opens with ECHAD, Blessed be His Name, speaking to MOSHE REBEYNU concerning the taking of a census of BENEI YISRAEL. The instructions disclosed a procedure that would prevent the counting of them from the recompense of a plague, yea, an admonition had been given that prevented the counting of BENEI YISRAEL. The warning disclosed that counting BENEI YISRAEL would result in a plague. The question is, “Why would counting BENEI YISRAEL result in a plague?” 

BENEI YISRAEL has been given the corporate purpose to be TIKKUN OLAM. The IVRI transliteration TIKKUN OLAM is indicative of being the repairers of the world. This work of reparation is in harmony with the damage that was experienced in the process of CREATION. The force that was used gave rise to the CREATION of LIMITATION. The CREATION of LIMITATION was the CONCEALING of the SUPERNAL. The repairers are destined to complete the assignment by teaching and presenting themselves as ensamples.

The ensample that BENEI YISRAEL is to embody is the TRUTH of BEING. The embodiment reveals that CREATION is but one BEING comprised of many. The ONE BEING is to operate in a CORPORATE CONSCIOUS enabling each individual being to work in behalf of the ONE BEING. This ONE BEING is referred to as ADAM KADMON. This truth is to be taught and demonstrated by BENEI YISRAEL. To count the Jewish People one by one would give rise to EGOISM which is descension from CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS to INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS. This state of CONSCIOUSNESS, that is, the INDIVIDUAL state, will give rise to the experience of a PLAGUE. In other words, INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS is like a cancer in the body. The organ that functions outside of CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS can make the WHOLE BODY SICK. This EMET in nature is true of ADAM KADMON, thus we are able to repair by teaching and presenting a Nation that is a manifestation of the TRUTH of BEING.

BENEI YISRAEL must not descend into EGOISM, it will be destructive to ALL. We must not allow any of our ACTIONS to undermine our responsibility to the NATIONS of OLAM.
