TERUMAH

Shalom Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention on OLAM HABA (the World to Come). Unlike this Present World, OLAM HABA is experienced as the result of the ascension into correct perception. Correct perception commences with SELF REALIZATION. SELF REALIZATION is a state of enlightenment. This state of enlightenment has to do with the TRUTH of BEING, that is, the NESHAMAH (Soul) is an individualized aspect of ECHAD, Blessed Be His Name. It is the recognition that we are the SONS OF G-D either in the state of concealed or revealed. The revealed state is that in which we manifest G-dhood in the BEGED, that is, our clothing known as the physical body. On the other hand, the concealed state is the appearance of being MORTAL. The attainment of SELF REALIZATION is the beginning of the expansion of perception of G-dhood. The expansion of the perception of G-dhood dismantles the EGO giving rise to renting the VILON (curtain) that conceals IMMORTALITY and OLAM HABA, that is, the World to Come.

TERUMAH is the riddle that when solved discloses instructions that aid in the unfoldment of HAMACHSHAVAH ELYONAH, that is the SUPREME THOUGHT, which gives rise to the MANIFESTATION of the IMMORTAL along with the reflection of his light upon the external. TERUMAH speaks of an elevated offering. This elevated offering engenders a CONSCIOUS ASCENSION into the HIGHER DIMENSIONS of ENERGY that are in the NESHAMAH. The ascension into the Higher Dimensions of energy are effected by receiving instructions from a RABBI (Master Teacher) who has DIRECT EXPERIENCE.

From the DIRECT EXPERIENCE comes the vibrations that when put into words, if followed with precision, give rise to LAAVOR. LAAVOR is the crossing of MACHSOM (the barrier) between the HIGHER DIMENSIONS of ENERGY of the NESHAMAH and the BEGED. As aforementioned, the instruction must be followed with precision by the protege. No one can effect this but the protege. To ensure that it is perfected with precision, the RABBI is to oversee the work. This work is termed LISHMAH, which means, for her sake. The GOAL of the work of LISHMAH is G-dhood and the renting of the VILON that conceals OLAM HABA.
