YITRO

Shalom Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention on the recognition of the following offices that function above MACHSOM (the barrier) in PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS from the perspective of MISHKAHN DAVID (the Tabernacle of David). PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is experienced in the upper grades of the NESHAMAH (Soul). Those upper grades are termed CHAYAH and the YECHIDAH. CHAYAH may be described as non-differentiation with the sense of the “I.” YECHIDAH may be described as non-differentiation sensing oneself as the “ALL.” To sense oneself as the “ALL” with non-differentiation is a higher state of CONSCIOUSNESS that will unfold unlimited potential when consistently observed. It is the YECHIDAH that gives rise to the manifestation of HAMACHSHAVAH HAELYONAH, that is, the Supreme Thought. This Supreme Thought is the MORTAL becoming IMMORTAL.

As aforementioned, this week’s portion (PARSHA) discloses three offices that functions above MACHSOM. These offices are duties that have been predetermine by ECHAD, Blessed be His Holy Name, to aid in the manifestation of HAMACHSHAVAH HAELYONAH. Those offices are termed ZAKENIM (elders), COHANIM (priests) and NEVIIM (prophets or seers). The offices are occupied by those who have made the ASCENSION and employ HISTACHLUT PNIMIT (introspection) discerning the pronounced MIDDOT (qualities) of the CREATOR within that enable them to function thereof. It is understanding these pronounced qualities possessed within that give rise to SELF-REALIZATION. The SELF-REALIZATION that is gained enables one in fulfilling one’s purpose with accuracy.

According to the revelation of Torah, the ZAKEN (elder) is one whose pronounced qualities are the mastery of CHUKIM (decrees) and the Teaching. The Teaching is derived from the CHAZONOT (visions) effortlessly received by the ZAKEN. This empowers the ZAKEN to manifest as a SCHOLAR able to aid with the CHALLENGES experienced with scholarship.

The COHAN is endowed with gift pertaining to CARBONOT (sacrifices) and the BRIT (covenant). This is empowerment to effect miracles and healings, blessing those who enter into their sphere of authority with an impetus to fulfill the GOAL of CREATION.

Lastly, the focus is upon the NAVI (prophet, seer). The NAVI deals with CHAOS. It is the ability to see order in what appears to be disorder. Often we see the NAVI come from generation to generation to aid in the development of the SUPERNAL MAN, that is, ADAM KADMON. This aids in the unfoldment of G-dliness (HITPASHTUT) both at the individual and corporate level. From the observation of CHAOS - IMMORTAL is seen along with OLAM HABA, that is, the world to come.

These offices, that is, the ZAKENIM, COHANIM and NEVIIM will become more and more authoritative as we delve deeper into the END of DAYS whereas KAV HAMIDDAH is experienced providing the atmosphere for the manifestation of the SUPREME POWER of the CREATOR.
