CHAYEI SARAH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the following phrase contained within the SIDRAH. It is written, “...ותמת שרה”, which is translated to mean “Sarah died.” The question is, what is implied by the event of the death of Sarah?

To gain insight into the event of death, we must commence with the identification of Sarah. From the standpoint of the EGO, her identification would be that of the physical body. Her body consciousness began on the day that she was born and ended on the day of her transition. At the commencement of her body consciousness, she was given a name, and from that point on she began to build a personality, taking on some qualities that can be labeled good or bad. This process continued until the day that her name was changed from SARAI to SARAH. The changing of the name is significant in that it was revealed by ECHAD, Blessed be His Name.

The revelation of her true identification is what was received from ECHAD. This identification was tied to her SUPERNAL PURPOSE, i.e. to be a mother of nations, and that kings of peoples will rise from her. The SUPERNAL PURPOSE is eternal in nature, that is, having no beginning and no ending. The truth of her being does not lie within her birth date and death date, but on the contrary these dates are contained within her being. Yea, the body that she was clothed in had a beginning and therefore an end, but her truth is imperishable, unaffected by the qualities that she choose to identify with and all events that are experienced. It remains STILL with the SUPERNAL PURPOSE given to appear at some predetermined point in space and time.

We live, move and have our being in an INFINITE FIELD of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. All of Creation is contained within this SUPERNAL AWARENESS. This SUPERNAL AWARENESS is life without the possibility of death. The created forms that come and go within this ETERNAL AWARENESS are animated by this INFINITE BEING. Therefore whenever the form goes, the AWARENESS remains, unaffected by arising thereof and the fall. The SUPERNAL AWARENESS is what produced the form with the thought of it becoming a visible manifestation of the invisible qualities of the awareness. It continues the process until it is performed. The death of SARAH was not an ending, but a continuation of the journey that unfolds the thought of Creation. This journey is entering into levels of awareness beyond the imagination where one experiences the fulness of joy in a state of unending regeneration.
