VAYIGASH

Shalom Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by being mindful of the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT, VAYIGASH is descriptive of an approach. From the ROOT LANGUAGE of Torah, the approach is one that reveals that aspect of the path of life (CHAI) termed G-MAR TIKKUN. G-MAR TIKKUN is what has been predetermined to be the final stages that are undergone in HITPASHTUT, that is, the development of G-dliness. The final stages are an ascension commencing with IBUR, followed by YENIKA and manifest as MOCHIN. The MOCHIN is the MIND of ECHAD, Blessed be His Name, that gives rise to the visible manifestation of the MIDDOT (qualities) of the Creator.

The approach is effected by TESHUVAH (repentance), yea, to experience MOCHIN GADLUT, that is, the expanded conscious, one must quiet the mind. Entering into this stage of STILLNESS is initiated with TESHUVAH that commences with confessing. Confessing is the embracing of YETZER HARA (the evil inclination) in order to eliminate the false identity revealing the EMET (truth) that it is only an aspect of the ONE separated by degrees. This is seen in the approach of YAHUDAH towards YOSEF whose meeting will manifest their ONENESS of BEING.

In this approach is disclosed the RAZ (secret) of effective prayer. Effective TIFILAH achieves the goal of STILLNESS. The goal of STILLNESS is a disclosure that the truth of One’s BEING is the solution to all problems. The Truth of Being is that we are individual sparks of ECHAD. These Sparks may be described as INFINITE CONSCIOUS BEING experienced on the INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. When experienced, we enter the elevated state of STILLNESS, PEACEFULNESS, QUIETNESS and CONFIDENCE which is that of a beautiful MIND. With the absence of all the CHATTER that the MIND undergoes in CHALLENGE, the STILLNESS is the SOLUTION to the PROBLEM. Once the state of agitation is removed from the MIND, the STOREHOUSE of SOLUTION is opened unfolding the UNLIMITED POTENTIAL of the SOUL. YOSEF admonishes his brothers once they had received this state, i.e. returning with the VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of SOLUTION, do not become agitated on the WAY. Indeed these are instructions on how to ascend in the FINAL CORRECTION in order to manifest HAMACHSHAVAH HAELYONAH, that is, the Supreme Thought that we are to become a VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of ECHAD.
