RE'EH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention upon the following passage contained within the SIDRAH. It is written, “It shall be that when HaShem, your God, brings you to the Land to which you come to possess it, then you shall deliver the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal. Are they not on the other side of the Jordan far in the direction of the sunset, in the land of the Canaanite, that dwells in the plain, far from Gilgal near the plains of Moreh?” Deuteronomy 11:29,30. In this passage of TORAH, we are able to discern a mystery concerning the ASCENSION into Spirituality. The mystery has to do with the crossing of MACHSOM (the barrier of the five senses) into the actualization of SELF REALIZATION.

In the ALEF development of HITPASHTUT (the development of G-dliness), ADAM RISHON (the human conscious experience) descended below MACHSOM for the purpose of being empowered to participate in the unfoldment. The descension gave rise to RATZON HERUT which is a limited freewill, whereas one may choose to move in harmony with HA RATZON ELYON (the Supreme Will) thus being able to experience the goal of creation ACHISHINAH, that is, ahead of the allotted time. The descension into Free Will was followed by what is termed the BET development. The BET development is that of the desire to receive (AVIUT), which in turn would grow the KLI (vessel of reception) large enough to unfold a visible manifestation of ECHAD, Blessed Be His Name.

Once the KLI has reached it’s potential in growth, one will enter into the FINAL CORRECTION. The FINAL CORRECTION is termed G-MAR TIKKUN. The FINAL CORRECTION is the ASCENSION above MACHSOM. In the SIDRAH, ascension is represented in the idea of passing through Mt GERIZIM and Mt EBAL. This is movement beyond ETZ METIM (the tree of death) which is the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and BAD. The ascension beyond ETZ METIM is rising above PERSONHOOD into an IMPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with ECHAD, that is, to be of ONE CONSCIOUSNESS. This ONE CONSCIOUSNESS is absent of the “I” and experienced as a CONCEPT. The concept is that of SUPERNAL PURPOSE.
