SHEMOT

Shalom Shalom. This week’s DEVAR TORAH is SHEMOT which means names.
•    We are One Being unfolding as an immortal nation. This immortal nation was revealed to Abraham. Other nations will look at the immortal nation and use the same instructions. This is at the corporate level, not the individual. It is for us to unfold the immortal nation.
•    Be peaceful and level headed in pressure. When we think it is outside of us, we lose peacefulness. When we lose peacefulness, we oppose. Pressures are the result of Light being reflected in the vessel which aids in reaching the Goal of Creation. At the lower levels you can be peaceful and level headed; it will aid in making the ascension.
•    Development of Prophetic message. Prophetic message is based on the experience of the prophet. Events aid us in being effective in prophetic utterance and in mind refinement. We need to receive challenges in order to respond correctly and receive prophetic message. Don’t be fearful. They are carefully calculated. Push yourself through the challenge mentally then physically.
•    Ezekiel sits in Tel Aviv and observes. Moshe was educated in Egypt. Deal with people where they are. After sitting in Tel Aviv, Ezekiel receives a word that is for the next mission. A prophet depends on what God is saying. He brings what is needful because of his own experience.
•    We are children of the prophets/seers. We are focused on something that has not yet occurred. The prophet is given visions and dreams. This is the way we make decisions in the present. There are those who are called and those who are chosen. The chosen have visions and dreams. Those who are called are   being influenced and embracing the vision of one who is chosen. Israel is visionary. When Moshe sees the burning bush, he is seeing Israel; it is on fire but not consumed. The burning bush is beyond comprehension of the mind.
•    Don’t make decisions based on intellect (ego) for response to challenge - it will make sense to you. We receive instructions that don’t make sense to the mind. Moshe is willing to step out on the vision. Fear comes from dealing with things without a vision. Solution is seen in vision/dream.
•    One must ascend into supply. We are all things. Deficiency is because we haven’t tapped into the consciousness of supply. Supply is manifested in harmony with one’s vision/dream. Desire blinds you to the fact you are supply. If one is supply, one should be desireless. Loss of Truth of Being is loss of being supply. Understand the purpose of things. Abuse of things is error of thought. The Higher Self reveals how to use what is sensed with the 5 senses. Don't separate yourself from God. The appearance of what you need will come in its proper time. Learn how to function as the God you are.  
•    There is nothing but God - different aspects of yourself. Prophetic ministry is in succession. We are responsible for keeping what is coming down from above; don’t add to or subtract from it. Keep it pure to aid others. Prophetic word is the solution. Prophets go through before the people in their sphere of authority. You need to honor the prophet that is before you. You can see your destiny in the senior prophet.
•    We are to have mastery of ATZILUT, the speaking world which is below the barrier. Mastery purifies the heart and intention. Purification needs to take place in the vessel. If you see opposition outside of you or it is not you, you need to be purified. Never curse. Control what is coming out of your mouth. The heart needs to be cleansed. ECHAD tests the heart. Words proceed forth from the heart.
•    Thoughts of separation is the death angel. We are One Being made up of many souls. The Jews have been given responsibility of a new lifestyle where there is no separation.  
•    “My firstborn son is Israel.” (Shemot 4:18) We are God. Psalm 82:4-7 says, “You are elohim (gods), sons of the Most High; but like men you shall die.” Only the begged is subject to death. But God will “eliminate death forever.” (Isaiah 25:6-8)
•    Circumcision of the flesh is symbolic, it doesn’t do anything. The shedding of blood is death. Once you discover the Higher Level of being you are, there has to be circumcision of the heart. It is the cutting away of the impulses of the flesh. It is being free of emotions and the sensitivity of separation. This is the work of the Higher Self; it wants to circumcise the heart, but the begged doesn’t want it to.
