SHEMINI

Shalom Shalom. We commence this week’s DEVAR TORAH focusing on the PARASHAT SHEMINI which means eight.

•  This week we are focused on reaching and maintaining a high level of energy.
•  The Miluim Offering which is the Inauguration offering. It is at the sefirah CHESED.
•  Within the Miluim offering are four CARBONOT: 
    • The OLAH (burnt) offering: there is no sacrifice too big; the dismantling of the ego.
    • The MINCHA (meal) offering: know that you are the consciousness of supply.
    • The SHELAMIM (peace) offering: we are the consciousness of the Creator whether we have a body or not.
    • The KATAT (sin) offering: this clears unintentional sin for those on the path of life.
    • These are maintained through reasoning.
•  The priests have to detach from everything and become NO THING.
•  The sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, died because they changed the instruction. The instructions are not to be added to or taken away from. We are to move inside the Supreme Will.
• The transition of Aaron’s sons illustrates that Aaron was to maintain a high level consciousness and not mourn. Carrying his two sons outside the camp is indicative of removing death from the consciousness.
•  Sefah is the flow of the RUACH that aids in the ALIYAH from MALCHUT to KETER.
•  Only the Creator can bless. Aaron was able to raise his hands to bless the people with the consciousness of being the Creator; being conscious of ATZUMTO, the pure essence of the Creator at KETER. The people were then able to see the reality of OLAM HABA.
•  The ego is either transformed or dies. This is the choice.
•  The ego is transformed by entering into dimension that is higher than the mind. It is accelerated energy that is eternal.
•  The Soul is a higher vibration that transforms the body and mind. This higher vibration/energy is at CHAYAH and YECHIDAH.
•  The KASHRUT is a series of building blocks for the BEGED (physical body) to transform it into Light. The Soul uses these building blocks to create a holy body not a healthy body. We are building it to receive God.
•  We are what we eat. The power is in gentleness. We eat gentle animals. Also be conscious of the information we eat. The company you keep can affect your vibration.
•  Each breath brings a new beginning. Inhalation is birth and exhalation is death. The purpose of being born over and over again is transformation of the BEGED into fire. It is an inner journey and requires being constantly intense in your living.
•  Intensity means to learn to remain at ATZMUTO/KETER. Intensity does not mean suffering.
•  Maintain ATZMUTO from CHAYAH OR YECHIDAH.
•  Contamination is separation from high levels of consciousness. The INTENSITY of the inauguration was for seven days but we are to maintain it and make it a lifestyle.
