RE'EH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention on the opening scenario contained within the SIDRAH. The narrative begins with the NAVI MOSHE disclosing to BENEI YISREL a perspective of what occurs when choosing to embody TORAH or rejecting. He reveals that the embodiment thereof will engender the experience of blessings. On the other hand, the rejection thereof gives rise to suffering. The system when viewed from the perspective of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUS is not one of reward and punishment but rather a guiding principle in the attainment of the GOAL of CREATION. 

The GOAL of CREATION is the evolution of the CREATURE. Spiritual law discloses that the cause becomes the effect in the involution and the effect becomes the cause in the evolution. Thus the evolution of the CREATION is the unfoldment of the CREATOR. In order for the CREATURE to evolve into the CREATOR, the system of blessings and curses was put into effect.

The curses experienced in the SYSTEM are the result of opposing the GOAL. The curses are experiences as different degrees of SUFFERING that is indicative of a need for transformation. We were given the gift of the physical body (GOLEM) as the medium for which the transformation is to be effected. The suffering experienced in the organs thereof are indicative of a sensitivity that opposes the GOAL. There is LIGHT that is received from the upper forces of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUS that aids by providing the illumination of introspection and revelation that engenders transformation. Thus the SYSTEM of blessing and cursing is steering mechanism destined to be employed on the trek of the PATH OF LIFE that LEADS to the attainment of the GOAL of CREATION.

EIKEV (con't)

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT EIKEV with the implication of the statement made by the NAVI MOSHE declaring, “You shall remember the entire road on which HaShem your God led you these forty years in the Wilderness so as to afflict you, to test you, to know what is in your heart whether you would observe His commandments or not.” Deuteronomy 8:2 To understand the implication, one must be mindful that TORAH is not speaking of the PRESENT WORLD, but rather it is a revelation of OLAM HA BA, that is, the world to come.

Understanding OLAM HA BA is a revelation. The revelation is a disclosure of the process of evolution that is undergone by the human conscious experience referred to in Jewish spirituality as ADAM RISHON. The EMET (truth) that we are undergoing a process of evolution can be seen in the observation of nature. For instance, the process of a caterpillar evolving into a butterfly is an example. The caterpillar is an entity of the animate world that moves by INSTINCT. The INSTINCT of the caterpillar guides it on the ground where it receives nourishment, shelter, and the like, until NATURE that is external to it applies the right pressure to cause it to cocoon itself. The cocooning of itself is a process that it undergoes to enter into a higher level of existence. The next step is the destruction of the cocoon that was created instinctively. The destruction of the COCOON reveals that a METAMORPHOSIS has taken place. The METAMORPHOSIS discloses a new level of existence above the ground, flying in the AIR. This quality of life, that is, evolution, is present in the human conscious experience. Because we possess VOLITION which is above INSTINCT, we are empowered to participate in our EVOLUTION consciously.

This is the implication of the instructions given by the NAVI MOSHE to BENEI YISRAEL (the Children of Israel), yea, the remembering of the entire road has to do with the concept that our history repeats itself for the purpose of SELF-REALIZATION. Self-Realization is the disclosure that the SOUL is SUPERNAL in nature with the purpose of causing the physical body to become equivalent in nature. We are destined to become ONE WITH ECHAD in the physical form.

EIKEV

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention on the opening scenario of the PARASHAT EIKEV. The portion is a continuation of the NAVI MOSHE giving encouragement to AM YISRAEL (the nation of Israel) to trust in G-d to ensure the successful conquest of the Land and the entrance into the WHOLE of REALITY.

The WHOLE of REALITY is indicative of the ATTAINMENT of a conscious state whereas the fulness of joy is experienced as freedom from contrast and ascension into ONENESS. The ONENESS is the TRUTH of BEING.

The TRUTH of BEING is based upon the revelation given to the NAVI ISAIAH. It is written, “I am HaShem and there is no other, other than Me there is no God. I will gird you, though you did not know Me, in order that those from east and west would know that there is nothing besides Me; I am HaShem, and there is no other.” Isaiah 45:5,6 In this prophetic utterance, it is disclosed that THERE IS NOTHING BUT G-d. In other words, CREATION is G-d being perceived in two STATES. Those states are REVEALED and CONCEALED. The TRUTH of BEING is that the human conscious experience is a CONCEALED STATE of G-d. Thus the GOAL of CREATION is that the CONCEALED STATE of the CREATOR be revealed in the physical body. The manifestation of the CONCEALED STATE of G-d in the physical body is the ELIMINATION of DEATH, i.e. IMMORTALITY.

The opening scenario of the portion EIKEV when viewed from the ROOT LANGUAGE of TORAH discloses that the MISHPATIM (ordinances) are manifestations of SUPERNAL INTENTIONS. In other words, they are inroads to some of the QUALITIES of the TRUTH of BEING. The CONCEALED STATE of the CREATOR that is contained within the CREATURE is connected to the MISHPATIM.

Understanding the principle that the CREATOR became the CREATURE in order that the CREATURE will become the CREATOR reveals the mechanics to be employed to reach the Goal of CREATION. As the mechanics are employed, the perception of the WHOLE of REALITY is ATTAINED engendering a new level of existence whereas we come to the end of CONTRAST (the experience of GOOD and BAD) and enter into the state of the fulness of joy. Yea, we were created to experience the eternal outpouring of the SUPERNAL.

WHAT IS JUDAISM

Judaism is a lifestyle, not a religion. It is viewed by some as a religion in relationship with TORAH. Torah contains within what is termed TAYAG MITZVOT. Tayag Mitzvot are the 613, some say 620, Commandments that are contain within.

Tayag Mitzvot was given for the purpose of correction. The correction gives rise to the evolution of the human conscious experience in the manifestation of G-d. Tayag Mitzvot is written in the branch language, being perceived as that which governs the DESIRES of the EGO. From the root language, Tayag Mitzvot is a revelation of SUPERNAL INTENTION. Through the transformation of the sensations experienced in the EGO, we are able to experience our true nature, that is, G-d. The transformation commences with the recognition of the sensations of EGOISM and correcting them with TAYAG MITZVOT. The correction gives rise to the manifestation of the CONCEALED NATURE of G-d that is latent within. This process of development is what is termed JUDAISM. 

WHAT IS SOUL?

Torah discloses that the nature of the SOUL is SUPERNAL. The SUPERNAL nature of the SOUL is a revelation that to comprehend the SOUL, one must ascend out of BODY CONSCIOUSNESS, where IT is experienced. The ascension is one into knowledge that is based upon a revelation and realized in actualization.

The experience of the knowledge of the SOUL requires three components. Those components are the force of KNOWING, that which to be KNOWN and the KNOWER. It is the composition of these three the give rise to the experience of the SOUL.

Torah discloses that the SOUL is not a compound, but rather ONE, that is, made up of MANY. It is written, “And God said, Let us make MAN (ONE) in Our image, after Our likeness…” Genesis 1:20a The reference made to the IMAGE and LIKENESS of G-d in the plural reveals the concept of ONE being made up of MANY.

It is further disclosed in Torah the the creation of ADAM RISHON (the FIRST MAN), that is, the human conscious experience, was a marriage of the FINITE to the INFINITE. It is written, “And HaShem God formed the man of the dust from the ground (FINITE), and He blew into his nostrils the soul of life (INFINITE), and man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7 The joining of theses precepts engenders the elucidation that there is ONE SUPERNAL SOUL that is comprised of MANY INDIVIDUAL SOULS. The ONE SOUL comprised of the MANY is ECHAD, Blessed be His Name.
There are grades of the SOUL that effect our perception of what seems to be external to us. Those grades are termed the NEFESH, RUACH, NESHAMAH, CHAYAH and YECHIDAH. The NEFESH is the animal like experience. The RUACH is the experience of motion. The NESHAMAH is the experience of differentiation. The CHAYAH is non-differentiation. The YECHIDAH is the STILLNESS in which all the experiences occur. We have been given the gift of the GOLEM (physical body) in order to reflect the different grades of the SOUL. When the highest level of SOUL is attained, it will manifest in the GOLEM (physical form) as a constant state of IMPROVEMENT which is the regenerative state. The consciousness of the lower grades of the SOUL give rise to the experience of degeneration and cycling through the LIFE CYCLE EVENTS of BIRTH, MAINTENANCE and DEATH until the HIGHEST LEVEL of the SOUL is attained. The attainment of the HIGHEST LEVEL commences with the revelation of the individual SOUL that it is ONE WITH G-d.

The attainment of the realization that the SOUL is ONE WITH G-d is what is termed LIBERATION. The LIBERATION is one of identification, yea, and not longer identifies with the FINITE COMPONENT, that is, the GOLEM, but rather with the INFINITE. The identification with the INFINITE is what is termed the TRUTH of BEING. Once the identification of the TRUTH of BEING is realized, one is destined to begin the ASCENSION into the ACTUALIZATION of the SOUL whereas it is made manifest in the FORM. The ascension is destined to be the product of the revelation of one’s TEACHER. it is written, The Lord will give you meager bread and scant water, your Teacher will no longer be hidden behind His garment, and your eyes will behold your Teacher. And your ears will listen to a word spoken from behind you saying, this is the path, walk in it whither you go to your right or to your left.” Isaiah 30:20,21 It has been declared that when the student is ready, the TEACHER is revealed. The KNOWLEDGE of SOUL is effected by the relationship of the STUDENT and TEACHER through the force of KNOWING.

The THOUGHT of CREATION

The beginning of a THOUGHT is rooted in IMPRESSION. From an EGOTISTIC PERSPECTIVE, the impression is comprised of what is termed AFFINITY, AVERSION and CLINGING to LIFE. In the process of the development of THOUGHT, the composition of an impression when focused upon will evolve into a desire. As the process continues, the evolution of the DESIRE unfolds as THOUGHT. Understanding this process enables one to comprehend what is implied when speaking about the THOUGHT of CREATION. At the level of impression, the EGO experiences something that is perceived to bring either enjoyment or pain, thus influencing the desire thereof which will develop into thought. When speaking of the thought of the CREATOR in CREATION, the nature of an AFFINITY for something or an AVERSION does not exist, thus the THOUGHT will be based upon the qualities of the CREATOR. 

One of the qualities of the CREATOR is that of BESTOWAL. It is written that, “You open your hands and satisfy the desire of every living thing.” Psalm 145:16 The quality of BESTOWAL is what gives rise to the creation of a NEW CREATION that is opposite of the CREATOR. In other words, that which is INFINITE creates that which is FINITE in order to manifest the quality of BESTOWAL.
The GOAL of CREATING this opposite is to make it like the CREATOR. It is written, “And God said, Let us make Man in Our image after Our likeness.” The EMET (truth) is that PERFECTION can only create PERFECTION, thus what is implied by the terms IMAGE and LIKENESS is not speaking of SIMILARITY. To further substantiate this thought, we are told that the CREATOR employed a FINITE VESSEL and BLEW INTO IT INFINITY or Himself in order that the finite vessel would possess UNLIMITED POTENTIAL to unfold the GOAL, yea, the GOAL is ATTAINED through the manifestation of the CONCEALED SUPERNAL SOUL in the FINITE VESSEL.

These precepts reveal that the THOUGHT of CREATION is to create a NEW CREATURE that is opposite of the CREATOR and then the CREATOR pouring HIMSELF into It to make it HIM.

VAETCHANAN

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention on the opening scenario of the SIDRAH. The narrative begins with the NAVI MOSHE pleading with ECHAD, Blessed be His Name, to allow him to cross over into ERETZ YISRAEL. The rational was that he should allow His servant to see His GREATNESS. It is further disclosed that the request was denied, with MOSHE laying the blame upon BENEI YISRAEL for the judgment.

From the root language, we are able to discern from the scenario that the denial of the request is based upon the EMET that MOSHE REBEYNU is a revelation of the NATURE of the ASCENSION into PURE SOULS CONSCIOUSNESS. The NATURE is that of ONENESS. In other words, to ascend into SPIRITUALITY where OLAM HABA is perceived, one must rise above DUALITY into a STATE of BEING ONE with ECHAD. In this STATE the TRUTH of BEING is actualized giving rise to experiencing OLAM HABA.

Although the NAVI MOSHE is the Greatest Prophet in YISRAEL both from the standpoint of receiving revelations from ECHAD panayim el panayim (face to face) and the manifestation of SIGNS and MIRACLES, the experience of states of enlightenment did not unfold ONE with G-d, yea, it is only when ONE with G-d is actualized that one is able to experience OLAM HABA that is SPIRITUALITY.

The experience commences with an EPIPHANY in which I AM THAT is sensed that unfolds as CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS that is SUPERNAL IN NATURE.

ZIONISM

The unity of the Jewish People is foundation to the thought of ZIONISM. The unity is destined to be established on the TRUTH OF BEING.

The TRUTH OF BEING is experienced as an unfoldment. The unfoldment commences with realization and continues in actualization. The realization is experienced by an assertion. The assertion is that the soul is an individual aspect of G-d. Once one becomes conscious of the assertion, the process continues with the realization thereof. The realization is the correction of the thoughts that oppose the EMET (truth).

As the revelation of the SOUL continues, the unfoldment, identification with the biological manifestation of the soul, that is, the flesh, is corrected. The identification with the flesh is perceived as ERRONEOUS and the TRUTH of BEING, that we are the SUPERNAL SOUL made manifest. This discloses that the identification of Jew is not biological, but rather SOULICOL. The revelation of the TRUTH of BEING establishes the foundation upon which Jewish Unity is to rest upon. As individual aspects of the ONE CREATOR we are ONE.

TISHA B’AV

Shalom, Shalom. Tisha B’AV is what is termed minor fast day. It is observed on the ninth of the month of AV on the Jewish calendar. In 586 B.C.E. the Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed. In 70 C.E. on the same day, the ninth of AV, the Second Temple was destroyed. Of the minor fast days, TISHA B’AV is considered the most important. The importance has to do with INTROSPECTION. The purpose of the INTROSPECTION is to inspire the building of the Third Temple.

When employing the ROOT LANGUAGE of Torah, the building of the Third Temple has to do with the Ascension of the host SOULS into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The ASCENSION into Pure Soul Consciousness is making the evolution into CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS that is Supernal in nature, thus experiencing the sensation of the TRUTH of BEING. The TRUTH of BEING is that there is one SOUL, Supernal in Nature that is comprised of many souls. The GOAL is the revelation of the SOUL, i.e. to unfold unlimited potential.

The destruction of the Temples is descriptive of the ONE SOUL descending from corporate consciousness into EGOISM. The descension gave rise to identification with the CORPOREAL, which is EGOTISTIC, engendering a STATE of DISUNITY between the many souls of the ONE SOUL, yea, EGOISM is what opposes CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS.

It is the corporate purpose of the Jewish People to build the Third Temple by ascending into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS that is CORPORATE in nature. The ascension of a corporate group is the building of the Third Tempe. The building of this Third Temple will result in the UNITY of the JEWISH PEOPLE along with the INSTRUCTIONS that will aid humanity in the attainment of the same.

Tisha B’AV should be observed as a mourning caused by a yearning to ascend into the CONSCIOUSNESS manifested in the building of a Temple comprised of Jewish Souls to provide an ensample upon the earth on the ATTAINMENT of the GOAL of CREATION.

ZIONISM 2

Shalom, Shalom. The NAVI ISAIAH received a prophetic vision disclosing that there is a predetermined event in time that will give rise to the unfoldment of WORLD PEACE ending all violence. He wrote, “The wolf will live with the sheep and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and a calf, a lion whelp and a fatling will walk together and a young child will lead them. A cow and bear will graze and their young will lie down together; and a lion, like cattle will eat hay. A suckling will play be a vipers hole, and a newly weaned child will stretch his hand toward an adder’s lair. 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 seabed.” Isaiah 11:6-9 The vision given to the NAVI not only discloses the evolution of the human conscious experience effecting WORLD PEACE, but also the means by which it is effected. The means is education. The education is that which gives rise to the concealed SUPERNAL POTENTIAL within, that when revealed engenders the STATE OF ONENESS which is the TRUE CONNECTION that joins every individual.

The effecting of the education that discloses the TRUTH OF BEING is the SUPERNAL purpose of the Jewish People. It is written in Torah, “HaShem said to Abram, Go for yourself from the land, from your relatives and from your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, I will bless you, and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those you bless you, and him who curses you I will curse, and all families of the earth shall bless themselves by you.” Genesis 12:1-3 From this passage of Torah, we are able to discern that the families of the earth being empowered to bless themselves by Abraham is connected to location.

This connection to location is related to a law in nature that discloses that to maximize the potential contained in a seed, the seed must be planted in ground that is conducive to it. The Jewish People are referred to as the ZERA (seed) of Abraham disclosing that the maximizing of SUPERNAL potential that is concealed within is effected by LOCATION. For this reason ERETZ ISRAEL was promised to both Abraham and the Jewish People, it is written, “To your descendants have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river…” Genesis 15:28a It is for this reason, that is, during the time of great violence, the Jewish People are destined to return to ERETZ ISRAEL. Our return to ERETZ ISRAEL and dealing with the challenges that give rise to the ascension into CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS will engender the revelation of an ENSAMPLE to all of creation and the EDUCATION that will manifest the GOAL of CREATION, even WORLD PEACE. The Jew must return without hinderance to effect our SUPERNAL PURPOSE of REDEMPTION.

ZIONISM

Zionism is perceived as being the national liberation movement of the Jewish people that gave rise to the unfoldment of the State of Israel. No doubt this national liberation movement was predetermined by the Creator who declared to our ABBA AVRAHAM, “I will ratify My covenant between Me and you and between your offspring after you THROUGHOUT THEIR GENERATIONS, as an everlasting covenant to be a God to you and your offspring after you; and I will give to you and your offspring after you the land of your sojourns, the whole LAND OF CANAAN as an EVERLASTING POSSESSION, and I shall be a God to them.” GENESIS 17:7,8 These words that were spoken by ECHAD, Blessed be His Name, are destined to be performed. The performance is based upon His quality of being IMMUTABLE. This changeless quality is reflected in a revelation that He gave declaring, “so shall be My word that emanates from My mouth, it will not return to Me unfulfilled unless it will have accomplished what I desired and brought success where I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 The promise that was given to AVRAHAM concerning the LAND is everlasting. As an everlasting possession, the LAND will always belong to the Jews. The IMMUTABILITY of ECHAD, Blessed be His Name, is the security of the LAND being an EVERLASTING POSSESSION.

The purpose of the LAND being given as an everlasting possession has to do with the MAXIMIZING of the UNLIMITED POTENTIAL concealed within the Jewish People. The potential that is CONCEALED within the Jew is that which engenders the experience of REDEMPTION. The redemption is what aids in the evolution of the human conscious experience. Just as a SEED must be planted in a location that is conducive to its unfoldment, so is the Jew to ERETZ ISRAEL (LAND of ISRAEL). It is written, “but you O mountain of Israel, will give forth your branch and bear your fruit for My people Israel for they are soon to come. For behold, I am with you, and I will turn My attention to you, and you will be tilled and you will be sown. I will make people numerous upon you the entire House of Israel, all of it, the cities will be inhabited and the ruins will be rebuilt. I will multiply man and animal upon you, and they will multiply and be fruitful. I will make you inhabited as in your EARLIER TIMES, and I will make it better then it was at your beginning: then you will know that I am HaShem.” EZEKIEL 36:8-11 This prophetic utterance discloses the return of the Jewish people to Israel will maximize the concealed potential that is within that gives rise to the EVOLUTION of the human conscious experience. ZIONISM is the movement to effect this REDEMPTION.

It is no small wonder that AVRAHAM was promised that those who will bless ISRAEL will be blessed. Aiding the Jew in returning to Israel is effecting the REDEMPTION of the human conscious experience in the manifestation of It’s UNLIMITED POTENTIAL. As all the Jews return to the ERETZ ISRAEL ascending into the SPIRIT of UNITY, the GOAL of CREATION will be made manifest, yea, “The wolf will live with the sheep and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and a calf, a lion whelp and a fatling will walk together and a young child will lead them. A cow and bear will graze and their young will lie down together; and a lion, like cattle will eat hay. A suckling will play be a vipers hole, and a newly weaned child will stretch his hand toward an adder’s lair. 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 seabed.” ISAIAH 11:6-9 We need your help in aiding the Jews in returning to ERETZ ISRAEL.
