MISHPATIM

Shalom Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention on HITPASHTUT. HITPASHTUT is the IVRI (Hebrew) transliteration describing the development of G-dliness. The development of G-dliness unfolds in three stages. Those stages are termed בּ ,א and G-MAR TIKKUN. These stages occur in the reincarnation of ADAM RISHON.

ADAM RISHON is One Soul that is comprised of many souls. The many souls fall under the grades of either being YISRAEL or the Nations of OLAM (the world). The souls under the grade termed YISRAEL are those souls who have the revelation as being ONE with G-d. The souls termed the Nations of OLAM are absent of the revelation. In BERESHIT 5:1, ADAM RISHON is described in the following way, “This is the account of the descendants of ADAM (RISHON) on the day of the creating by God of Man in the likeness of God he made Him.” The TOLDOT (descendants) of ADAM RISHON are the reincarnations of the ONE SOUL that we undergo in becoming the IMAGE and LIKENESS of G-d. In other words, what we read in TORAH is a code revealing how man (the human conscious experience) becomes G-d, that is, a visible manifestation of the Supernal.

PARASHAT MISHPATIM is a description of ordinances, that is, civil law in the branch language. In the root language, the MISHPATIM are judgments that occur in the cycles of reincarnations. The purpose of the judgments is to enlighten one in what TIKUN (corrections) that need to be made in the unfoldment of G-dhood. It is made known to us because we have been given part in our own development of HAMACHSHAVAH HAELYONAH, that is, the Supreme Thought. By employing TESHUVAH, that is, repentance, we are empowered to correct the TIKUNIM caused by the limited choices we have made over the cycle of life, thus manifesting the MIDDOT of ECHAD, Blessed be His Name, in the BEGED (clothing) of the NESHAMAH (Soul).

YISRAEL has been chosen to fulfill the GOAL of HITPASHTUT first. It is the fulfillment of this GOAL first that enables the rest of the Sons of ADAM (the Nations of OLAM) in their unfoldment of G-dhood. This is the implication of what was promised to AVRAHAM that in PARASHAT LECH LECHA, “and they will be blessed through you all the families of the earth.” BERESHIT 12:3b. This empowering of the Nations of OLAM in ADAM RISHON gives rise to the One Soul comprised of many in the manifestation of the Supernal. The KUMI ORI, arising and shinning of YISRAEL has come disclosing the EMET that all things work for the manifestation of ONE THING, that is ECHAD.
