VAYIKRA

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH with the disclosure of what is termed the GENERAL RULES of OFFERINGS received by the NAVI MOSHE from ECHAD, Blessed be His Name. The instructions began with how to administer the OLAH (burnt offering). The OLAH offering may be brought by someone who has intentionally sinned, someone who had failed to perform a positive commandment, someone who had sinful thoughts and everyone who ascends to YERUSHALIYIM for SHLOSH REGULIM (the 3 Pilgrimages CHAGIM). The OLAH is completely burnt up signifying to raise its owner from the status of sinner and bring him to a state of spiritual elevation (R’HIRSCH).

When ascending the instruction to that of the ROOT LANGUAGE it reveals a method of disclosing what is termed HAVAYOT. HAVAYOT is the Hebrew transliteration for the force of creation. HAVAYOT is latent in the center of every created thing. All things are D’MUT ADAM, that is, made in the image of man. It is D’MUT ADAM that has been predetermined by ECHAD to become B’TZELEM ELOHIM, that is, the image and likeness of G-d. This potential to become a visible manifestation of the Creator is what is contained within the PARTZUF (the 10 sefirot). The PARTZUF sits within every created thing in the same way that there is a passenger in a MERKAVAH (chariot). If the MERKAVAH is destroyed, because of the indestructible nature of the PARTZUF, it will remain. The potential of the PARTZUF is HAVAYOT. Thus even at the destruction of a created thing that which is indestructible remains. As suggested, what remains is the force of creation.

This EMET (truth) discloses that the intention of a burnt offering is to reveal the HAVAYOT concealed within the OLAH. Thus we have the revelation of a mechanic that we can employ giving rise to the exercising of our volition in participation with the unfoldment of HAMACHSHAVAH HAELYONAH, that is, the Supreme Mind. The Supreme Mind has predetermined that the INVISIBLE G-d would become VISIBLE. Since HAVAYOT (force of creation) is at the center of ADAM RISHON (the human conscious experience), employing the method of the OLAH can aid in DIVINE MANIFESTATION. 

The descension from PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS into BODY CONSCIOUSNESS gave rise to the birth of the EGO. The EGO is one’s identification with the PHYSICAL BODY. From the identification with the PHYSICAL BODY, we perceive ourselves as having a birth date and a death date, a past, present and future. We perceive ourselves as weak, subject to change, and the like. By applying the instructions of the OLAH, we detach from this false identification, thus ascending into the TRUTH of BEING. The TRUTH of BEING is that we are INVISIBLE and IMMORTAL. The more that we return to this EMET by identifying with the MIDDOT of the Creator, the more our PHYSICAL BODIES will transform into the SAME. The transformation is termed EQUIVALENCE OF FORM, thus fulfilling the GOAL of CREATION through the exercise of VOLITION.

Whenever attending a service at the SYNAGOGUE, we should perform the OLAH offering at the door bringing only the CONSCIOUSNESS of the SOUL into the COLLECTIVE that we might aid in the fulfillment of HAMACHSHAVAH HAELYONAH, that is, to become a visible manifestation of ECHAD.

VAYAKHEL

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH focusing upon the instructions given to the NAVI MOSHE concerning the observance of the SHABBAT. In the instructions, the SHABBAT is described as a complete day of rest for ECHAD, Blessed be His Name. It is further disclosed that whoever does work on the SHABBAT will be put to death. In the language of the BRANCHES (literal interpretation), the presentation of the CREATOR, Who is the author of this prohibition, is one of being judgmental. A personal G-d that is intolerant of a violation of SHABBAT therefore invoking capital punishment. The presentation of the CREATOR as being intolerant is an indication to seek a higher understanding of the observance thereof.

On EREV SHABBAT, לכה דודי is read. Before the completion of the reading, the congregation is instructed to RISE and FACE the rear of the synagogue and say, “Enter O bride.” These instructions are given for the purpose of receiving the SECOND SOUL. This reference to the SECOND SOUL is one describing what is termed the ROOT SOUL. The ROOT SOUL is the SOULS of SOULS or PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is the CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS of ECHAD. This CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS is the ONE CONSCIOUSNESS that is the TRUE IDENTIFICATION of ALL sentient beings. Just as the physical body is comprised of many systems having it’s own consciousness, there is a Corporate Consciousness that causes all of the systems to work as ONE. Whenever the individual consciousness of a system works on its own, it becomes sick causing the rest of the systems to malfunction. Likewise when one fails to observe the SHABBAT by not moving in harmony with the CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS, it brings destruction to itself.

This discloses that the DEATH PENALTY for failing to observe the SHABBAT is experienced as not being conscious of the ROOT SOUL. The ROOT SOUL, that is, PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, is the DEATHLESS ONE. Thus the fundamental observance of SHABBAT is CORPORATE in nature. The commandments that are given regarding It are destined to aid in the experience of PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY and OLAM HA BA (the world to come). Therefore from the experience of doubt and delusion focusing upon a world where sickness, disease and death reign, we enter into OLAM HA BA that is the world to come. In OLAM HA BA, there is no sickness, disease or death and our focus can be on ONE’S HIGHER SELF along with an environment that reveals His PERFECTION.

KI TISA

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH with an overview of the scenario found in the SIDRAH. The overview is a narrative describing the unfoldment of AM YISRAEL (the nation of Israel). AM YISRAEL is unlike any nation of OLAM (the world) in that It’s composition is made up of a mixed multitude. The mixed multitude has a commonality. The commonality is a state of ENLIGHTENMENT. To be YISRAEL is to possess the revelation that the SOUL is SUPERNAL, yea, It is a spark described as an individual aspect of G-d. This is the TRUTH of BEING of everyone who undergoes the human conscious experience. The SOULS that realize this EMET (truth) is YISRAEL. We are predetermined by ECHAD to become a model nation for the rest of the nations. The model is described as the everlasting nation, that is, a visible manifestation of the CREATOR demonstrating IMMORTALITY.

The PARASHAT contains instructions written in the BRANCH LANGUAGE that when traced back to the ROOT discloses the systems belonging to the EVERLASTING NATION. It is the establishment of these SYSTEMS that engenders the revelation and manifestation of the NATION.
In this PRESENT WORLD, the systems are EGOTISTICAL in nature. Their establishment is purposed to aid in the בּ (BET) level of development. At the end of the בּ level of development, we are destined to leave horizontal growth and enter into G-MAR TIKKUN. G-MAR TIKKUN is the ascension into the manifestation of the TRUTH of BEING where we shall actualize EQUIVALENCE of FORM. Just as it was necessary to be liberated from the leadership of PHARAOH to begin the unfoldment, likewise nature is applying pressure demanding a changing of the GUARD. The setting up of the new leadership is to aid in the development of SPIRITUALITY out of which the EVERLASTING NATION will be seen.

The history of the Jewish people is linear. In other words, it is a series of events that may be described as MEHUGA (reoccurring). Just as when the leadership began to unfold new instructions that will give rise to a visible manifestation of ECHAD, Blessed be His Name, a rebellion took place, whereas the people wanted to return to serving the gods of MITZRAYIM (EGYPT). Their willingness to cling to familiarity would give rise to destruction. This is due to the EMET that whenever something new is coming on the scene, something old is being done away with. YISRAEL is destined to become that which the world has never seen. No one fathoms a visible manifestation of the DEATHLESS ONE. The naysayers may view it as impossible, but the DREAMERS can see. These are the visionaries that nature is promoting to leadership in the birthing of the IMMORTAL NATION, YISRAEL.

CHAG PURIM SHIMEACH

YOM TOV. Purim is the celebration of the liberation of the Jewish People from thought out destruction of Haman a descendant of AMALEK. The Jewish People are destined to both demonstrated  and teach HAMACHSHAVAH HA ELYONAH (the Supreme Mind). The GOAL of HAMACHSHAVAH HA ELYONAH is the visible manifestation of the MIDDOT (qualities) of ECHAD, Blessed be His Name. The manifestation is the presentation of LIFE as a continuous unfoldment of unlimited potential that is concealed within the GOLEM (human form). The presentation is one of REGENERATION.

HAMAN represents the EGOTISTICAL THOUGHTS of DEGENERATION. It is experienced in such saying as “LIFE IS SHORT.” The statement that LIFE IS SHORT has become so wide spread that it is is used to cling to desires that are destined to be transformed.

On the other hand, YISRAEL is a state of enlightenment disclosing that G-d is our LIFE. The LIFE of G-d is deathless, thus to say that it is short is to oppose YISRAEL. LIFE is not SHORT, it is ETERNAL. It unfolds as a series of TRANSITIONS that are destined to unfold GREATNESS.

When reading MEGILLAH ESTER during PURIM, the Jews cheer at the name of MORDECHAI and boo at the name of HAMAN. Our booing of HAMAN expressed inwardly is to not allow clinging to thoughts that say LIFE IS SHORT and realize that we are ONE with a LIFE that is Deathless, which is without beginning without end. As we correct the sensitivities that are connected to these erroneous thoughts, we will ascend into the REGENERATION that YISRAEL is to TEACH and DEMONSTRATE in this PRESENT WORLD.

TETZAVEH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing upon the opening scenario contained in the SIDRAH. The opening scenario is a narrative disclosing the instructions given to the NAVI (prophet) MOSHE on the preparation of the oil of illumination to be used for the lighting of the MENORAH. He is instructed to command BENEI YISRAEL (the children of Israel) “that they shall take for you clear olive oil, crushed for illumination, to kindle a lamp continually.” Exodus 27:20b No doubt the understanding of the IKARIM (principles) contained in the instruction will disclose the PATH OF LIFE that gives rise to the manifestation of HAMACHSHAVAH HA ELYONAH (the Supreme Mind).

The manifestation of HAMACHSHAVAH HA ELYONAH, that is, the INVISIBLE becoming VISIBLE, is speaking of ADAM KADMON which is CREATION. CREATION has been predetermined to unfold as a visible manifestation of G-d, yea, D’MUT ADAM (the image of man) is destined to become B’TZELEM ELOHIM (the image and likeness of G-d). Like the microism, man, the macroism creation is made in D’MUT ADAM. Torah reveals that man is in a process of becoming B’TZELEM ELOHIM. This process is occurring at both levels, that is, the MICROISM and the MACROISM.

The preparation of the oil for illumination is the disclosure of how that coming to the END of an ERA will be experienced. Life is continuous, thus the end of a thing is the beginning of the same thing in a new form. All around us we are witnessing to destruction. The destruction is the end of an ERA giving rise to the birthing of a new ERA. The new ERA is the manifestation of HAVAYOT (the force of creation). This force will manifest HAMACHSHAVAH HA ELYONAH, that is, EQUIVALENCE of FORM. In other words, the MIDDOT (qualities) of the CREATOR will be visibly made manifest in form. The NEVIIM received visions revealing elimination of death in the physical body as well as the lion laying down with the lamb in the environment. 

As the destruction is occurring, the LIGHT of CHOCHMAH is being revealed, illuminating the path to LIFE that is in the midst. Therefore arise and shine for the LIGHT has come that will reveal the GLORY of G-d concealed in you.
