VAYISHLACH

Shalom Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH with the IKAR (principle) that the lifetime of YAACOB is indicative of all the incarnations that we are destined to undergo in the unfoldment of HAMACHSHAVAH HAELYONAH (the Supreme Thought). The Supreme Thought of ECHAD, Blessed Be His Holy Name, is that His INVISIBLE  qualities (MIDDOT) are destined to become visible. This is to say that Creation is in a process of becoming a visible manifestation of the Supernal. The potential that is latent within all created things to manifest the Supernal is the Song that the NAVI ISAIAH heard while in the Throne Room. He wrote, “… I saw the Lord sitting upon a high and lofty throne, and its legs filled the Temple, Seraphim were standing above at His service. Each one had six wings; with two it would cover its face, with two it would cover its legs, and with two it would fly. And one called to another and said Holy Holy Holy is HASHEM, Master of Legions; the whole world is filled with His glory.” ISAIAH 6:16-3. In this prophetic utterance is disclosed the future of CREATION. For CREATION is not yet a visible manifestation of ECHAD, being His Glory. The Seraphim sang a Song of what is to emerge at the END OF DAYS, yea, the END OF DAYS is the beginning of a NEW CIVILIZATION which will manifest the INVISIBLE QUALITIES (MIDDOT) of ECHAD. No doubt the revelation accompanying this prophetic utterance, that is, that ECHAD is the MASTER OF LEGIONS, is a disclosure on how it is destined to be accomplished. The Legion is a TZAVA (army) that will establish the standard or idea that will reveal the hidden potential.

As aforementioned the lifetime of YAACOB is an ensample of what is destined to occur in the unfoldment of SUPERNAL GLORY. The events that are destined to occur is what is termed HITPASHTUT, that is, the unfoldment of G-dliness. The unfoldment occurs in three stages. The first stage is termed א (ALEF). The second stage is termed בּ (BET). The final stage is termed G’MAR TIKKUN. It is comprised of a DESCENSION, the DEVELOPMENT of the KLI (vessel) and finally an ASCENSION giving rise to the visible manifestation of ECHAD. Likewise YAACOB descends from his father’s house to the house of LABAN. Through negative mentoring, YAACOB develops in the house of LABAN. In the final stage of His journey, His name is changed to ISRAEL in recognition of His SOUL being one with ECHAD, thus ASCENDING into a NEW BEGINNING. In the New Beginning, He is no longer conscious of the error of perception concerning his identification with the CORPOREAL, but commencing a LIFE IN THE TRUTH of BEING, that is, that HE is ONE with ECHAD and empowered to answer the challenges ahead with SPIRITUALITY.
