BAMIDBAR

Shalom Shalom. This week’s DEVAR TORAH is BAMIDBAR which means in the wilderness.
•    It begins with taking a census. The census reveals that a generation comes and a generation goes, it is the same generation. We travel in groups.  
•    In cycles (reincarnation), we accumulate karma, both good and bad, which are needed in our development. The TIKKUMIN (corrections) are made by choice. Events come as opportunities to ascend. We can experience the event as G-d or ego, Stillness or pain/pleasure. What is required is a response. Ascend out of egoism and into Life.
•    Purposes are predetermined before the constriction, eternal in nature and never change but expanded.  Predetermined events aid in the development of purpose. We have both an individual purpose and a corporate purpose. Personal purpose is the elevated qualities of the Creator that we are. When we choose to move in harmony with the MIDDOT (qualities), we fulfill individual purpose. When we move in harmony with the group, we fulfill corporate purpose. This group of a little more than 600,000 will come together for the corporate purpose of aiding the sons of Adam in making the ascension.
•    Levi is responsible for aiding in the ingathering. They will raise up MISHKAHN DAVID. When it is raised up, Israel will come into It’s inheritance. MISHKAHN DAVID is made up of 3 courts: subconscious, body consciousness (MOCHIN), and Pure Soul Consciousness (NESHAMAH). Ascending into CHAYAH and YECHIDAH there is the sensitivity of G-d in everything we experience.
•    There are different grades of instructing: KOHEN GADOL, KOHANIM, LEVITES. The instructions are not to be changed; they are to be embodied.
•    There is protocol in corporate purpose. We are to do things in a corporate way which moves in a certain consciousness. Protocol is to work in harmony with the Principle of Mechanical Action (KONENEYUT). This causes Eternal Life to constantly expand.
•    Levi was born enlightened. It gives us the ability to see the One Life. Get rid of the narrow/limited existence (5 senses) and see yourself as Eternal Being; see what is REALITY.
•    TORAH teaches that there is nothing but G-d. G-d is our life. There is nothing but LIFE - it is Eternal.
•    In HITPASHTUT, the vessel to receive (KLI) is grown to the point of thinking of no one but themselves - KAV HAMIDDAH. What is needful is rearrangement. Death, sickness, disease are delusions of the mind. Understand what is going on. Change perception and take on the qualities of the Creator; a sensitivity of Oneness/Unity.
•    The census of the family of Kohath is from the ages of 30 yrs to 50 yrs. The purpose of this is to move from one activity to another for expansion. There is a period of time to study. Then comes the time of administration (ages 30-50). After the experience that comes from study and administration, comes the time for counseling. Levi is responsible for administration of the instructions.
