VAYIKRA

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by placing our attention on the subject opening the scenario. The SIDRAH commences with MOSHE REBEYNU being brought close to ECHAD for the purpose of receiving instructions about the GENERAL RULES of OFFERINGS. These rules may be perceived from both the BRANCH and ROOT levels of interpretation. The perception is that the BRANCH language is disclosing principles that when viewed from the ROOT will give rise to understanding the path to the unfoldment of the GOAL of CREATION as well as the mechanics to be employed to attain. The question is, how does the sacrificial system instruct the ATTAINMENT of the GOAL?

The portion commences with instructions on a burnt offering from the cattle. It reveals that the cattle is to be an unblemished male, the place it is to be brought to and it must be of one’s VOLITION. These requirements are a disclosure of what is to be the mechanics employed to effect TRANSFORMATION.

Since the GOAL of CREATION is to manifest the hidden qualities of ECHAD in the PHYSICAL BODY, the TRANSFORMATION that is being spoken about is that of the DESIRE to RECEIVE being TRANSFORMED into DIVINE INTENTIONS. The TRANSFORMATION of the DESIRES of OLAM into SUPERNAL INTENTIONS is what uncovers what CONCEALS the SUPERNAL INTENTIONS latent within. The cattle that is to be employed represents the END of the EXPANSION of the DESIRE TO RECEIVE being brought to the place of TRANSFORMATION. At the place of TRANSFORMATION, it is required that the individual participate. Therefore the voluntary participation discloses that the individual is destined to have part in his/her own transformation.

While it is true that those who are undergoing the human conscious experience are undergoing a process that will unfold PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY, we are destined to play a role in the process. The KOHANIM have been given the instruction to effect the process. Thus both instructions as well as embodiment is destined to be demonstrated by the KOHANIM.
