Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the narrative unfolding the SIDRAH. The PARASHAT begins as a continuation disclosing the liberation of the Jewish people effected by the HANHAGAH (government) of ECHAD over nature. In Creation there are five MERKAVOT (worlds, chariots) that effects nature. Those worlds are termed ASSYIAH, YETZIRAH, BERIAH, ATZULUT and ADAM KADMON. ASSYIAH is the inanimate world. YETZIRAH is the vegetative world. BERIAH is the animate world. ATZULUT is the speaking world. ADAM KADMON is the whole of CREATION.   

These five worlds are destined to become a visible manifestation of the CREATOR. The IVRI term MERKAVOT is employed to describe the nature of the worlds as one that is carrying a passenger. The passenger of the 5 MERKAVOT is the same, it is the DIVINE SPARK made reference to as the PARTZUF. 

The PARTZUF is comprised of 10 SEFIROT and multiple lines that join them. The SEFIROT are IGUL (circles) containing MIDDOT (qualities) of ECHAD. The lines joining the circles are MOCHIN (mental powers). ECHAD employs the PARTZUF in managing the MERKAVOT in order to effect the GOAL of CREATION. The GOAL is for ECHAD to become a visible manifestation. The process occurs in a linear fashion, that is, cycling repetitively until the GOAL is ATTAINED.

In the SIDRAH, nature is disclosed as that which will effect the liberation of the Jewish people engendering a VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of the CREATOR. Thus the event continues its unfoldment in our time. The unfoldment is at a HIGHER LEVEL of ATTAINMENT. The liberation is from body consciousness experienced as the FEAR of DEATH. Liberation from the FEAR that OPPRESSES requires one who has been liberated to reveal the instruction.

The SIDRAH discloses the NAVI Moshe as the LIBERATOR. His liberation from the FEAR of DEATH is experienced at HIS CALL at the burning bush. The CALL at the burning bush is a DIRECT EXPERIENCE whereas the revelation of being ONE with G-d is realized. His actualization of the DIRECT EXPERIENCE is made manifest through HANHAGAH of the MERKAVOT. The thing that has been is that which shall be, redemption will come through knowing a FREE MAN.
