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.

 

EIKEV

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention on the mystery contained in the SIDRAH disclosing the mechanics to be employed by the FINAL GENERATION in the restoration of COSMIC BALANCE (Matkela).

The Final Generation may be described as the 600,000 host souls that were counted in the census taken by the NAVI MOSHE after our liberation from the oppression of Egypt (MITZRAYIM). The incarnation of this generation occurred at the beginning of the ADAMIC CIVILIZATION. The SUPERNAL PURPOSE of these Host Souls is to aid in the ascension of humanity in Its unfoldment of the GOAL of CREATION. We aid in the unfoldment of the ascension through the administration of ETZ CHAIM (the Tree of Life). ETZ CHAIM is the knowledge of G-d that establishes the MIDDLE COLUMN in the PARTZUF giving rise to the unfoldment of COSMIC BALANCE. With COSMIC BALANCE, OLAM HA BA (the world to come) is revealed as described by the NAVI ISAIAH. He wrote, “The wolf will live with the sheep, and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and a calf, a lion whelp and a fatling will walk together, and a child will lead them… They will neither injure nor destroy in all of My sacred mountain; for the earth will be as filled with knowledge of ECHAD as water covering the seabed.” ISAIAH 11:6,9. This is what is implied by the establishment of the MIDDLE COLUMN that balances out the positive and negative forces creating peace.

The Host Souls first reincarnated at the tower of BABEL. Rather than rising to the level of ZEIR ANPIN and experiencing ECHAD (one), the language was confounded creating disunity. The appearance of all 600,000 Host Souls does not occur until our liberation from MITZRAYIM. Again, because of the doubt (SAFEK) that was established by the EVIL REPORT of 10 of the 12 spies, we failed to fulfill the SUPERNAL PURPOSE.

We have now all appeared in what is termed the FINAL GENERATION in the END of DAYS. Because only 3 failures in reincarnation are allowed before descending back to the starting place, we are destined to perform the SUPERNAL PURPOSE. In this season, we are experiencing KAV HAMIDDAH, that is, the unfoldment of EVIL at every level of the imagination. The environment is perfect, as revealed by the NEVIIM (prophets) for the restoration of COSMIC BALANCE.

Now is the time for the ingathering of the HOST SOULS in order to aid in their remembrance of the TRUTH of BEING thus unifying an army that will end all wars and disclose OLAM HA BA. Perhaps your pursuit of truth (EMET) is a Supernal Calling to fulfill your purpose of restoring COSMIC BALANCE.

 

DEVARIM

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention upon the purpose of this PROPHETIC UTTERANCE. Unlike the first four books of TORAH in which the NAVI MOSHE received PANAYIM EL PANAYIM (face to face) from ECHAD, Blessed Be His Holy Name, this is disclosed as an explanation. In other words, this is the VISION described in the words of the NAVI MOSHE, given at the time in which he is about to undergo TRANSITION and AM YISRAEL is to make the ALIYAH (ascension) into the PROMISE LAND. With this being a critical time, he is led to recapture the major events that had occurred over the forty year TREK in the wilderness. Because our history is MEHUGA (cycles), the focus upon these events will give rise to SHALEM (perfect). What is implied by perfecting is proficiency, that is, to improve by not making the same mistakes that were made in the past. 

From the ROOT LANGUAGE of TORAH, this is indicative of what needs to occur when entering into G-MAR TIKKUN in our development of HITPASTUT (the development of Godliness). G-MAR TIKKUN is descriptive of the FINAL CORRECTION. The completion of the final correction is the actualization of becoming a VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of ECHAD. In relationship to ADAM RISHON (the human conscious experience), this is PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY; in relationship to this PRESENT WORLD, it is the revelation of OLAM HA BA, that is, the WORLD TO COME.

The purpose of the Creation of the World is to be classroom, yea, it is a SCHOOL in which we are to learn how to unfold the GOAL of CREATION. Currently the school master is the EGO. The education received from the EGO does not lead to the fulfillment of the GOAL of CREATION, but rather temporary gratification and finally DEATH. It is the product of the TREE of the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and BAD. The purpose of the Jewish People in undergoing G-MAR TIKKUN first is to become the teachers as well as the ensample of the education of ETZ CHAIM, that is, the Tree of Life. The ascension of the Jewish people as a whole will give rise to the transformation of the CLASSROOM into a YESHIVA. Rather than the EGO being the SCHOOL MASTER, it is overseen by the MASTER TEACHERS of MULTI-DIMENSIONAL LIVING. The transformation of the CLASSROOM into the SUPERNAL PURPOSE of being a YESHIVA will give rise to the unfoldment of the GOAL of CREATION and manifestation of UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.

VAYAKHEL

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH focusing upon the instructions given to the NAVI MOSHE concerning the observance of the SHABBAT. In the instructions, the SHABBAT is described as a complete day of rest for ECHAD, Blessed be His Name. It is further disclosed that whoever does work on the SHABBAT will be put to death. In the language of the BRANCHES (literal interpretation), the presentation of the CREATOR, Who is the author of this prohibition, is one of being judgmental. A personal G-d that is intolerant of a violation of SHABBAT therefore invoking capital punishment. The presentation of the CREATOR as being intolerant is an indication to seek a higher understanding of the observance thereof.

On EREV SHABBAT, לכה דודי is read. Before the completion of the reading, the congregation is instructed to RISE and FACE the rear of the synagogue and say, “Enter O bride.” These instructions are given for the purpose of receiving the SECOND SOUL. This reference to the SECOND SOUL is one describing what is termed the ROOT SOUL. The ROOT SOUL is the SOULS of SOULS or PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is the CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS of ECHAD. This CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS is the ONE CONSCIOUSNESS that is the TRUE IDENTIFICATION of ALL sentient beings. Just as the physical body is comprised of many systems having it’s own consciousness, there is a Corporate Consciousness that causes all of the systems to work as ONE. Whenever the individual consciousness of a system works on its own, it becomes sick causing the rest of the systems to malfunction. Likewise when one fails to observe the SHABBAT by not moving in harmony with the CORPORATE CONSCIOUSNESS, it brings destruction to itself.

This discloses that the DEATH PENALTY for failing to observe the SHABBAT is experienced as not being conscious of the ROOT SOUL. The ROOT SOUL, that is, PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, is the DEATHLESS ONE. Thus the fundamental observance of SHABBAT is CORPORATE in nature. The commandments that are given regarding It are destined to aid in the experience of PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY and OLAM HA BA (the world to come). Therefore from the experience of doubt and delusion focusing upon a world where sickness, disease and death reign, we enter into OLAM HA BA that is the world to come. In OLAM HA BA, there is no sickness, disease or death and our focus can be on ONE’S HIGHER SELF along with an environment that reveals His PERFECTION.

MISHPATIM

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing upon the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the portion is MISHPATIM. The IVRI transliteration MISHPATIM is interpreted to mean ordinances. These ordinances are descriptive of civil law.

The Torah is said to be 20% literal and 80% interpretation. When the interpretation of Torah is taken from the ROOT LANGUAGE, the reference is not to this world, but rather to that of OLAM HABA i.e. the World to Come. At the ROOT LANGUAGE, Torah is comprised of DIFFERENT NAMES OF THE CREATOR. The DIFFERENT NAMES of the CREATOR represent the different qualities (MIDDOT) of His Infinite Nature. In the language of BRANCHES, i.e. the literal interpretation, the names of the CREATOR are presented in different combinations and arrangements giving us the stories as well as the MITZVOT (commandments), MISHPATIM (ordinances) and CHUKIM (decrees) contained within. Thus tracing the language of the BRANCHES back to the ROOT we discover the qualities of the CREATOR. This discloses that the MISHPATIM are expressions of the MIDDOT of the CREATOR.

The CHAI (life) that animates ADAM RISHON (the human conscious experience) is the CREATOR. It is written, “I call heaven and earth today to bear witness against you: I have placed life and death before you, blessing and curse, and you shall choose life, so that you will live, you and your offspring, to love HaShem your God, to listen to His voice and cleave to Him, for He is your LIFE…” Deuteronomy 30:19,20a This EMET (truth) discloses that the MIDDOT of the Creator is contained within the SOUL that animates us. From this EMET we are able to discern that the MISHPATIM can be used as a SULAM (ladder) to ascend and discover the MIDDOT of our TRUE SELVES. Employing the language of the BRANCHES in this way is how to effect TIKKUNIM (the correction) in the attainment of the TRUTH of BEING and the actualization thereof. The actualization is experienced as EQUIVALENCE of FORM, that is, the manifestation of the DEATHLESS ONE in the KLI (physical form).

These IKARIM (principles) that give rise to BIRURIM (purification) are based upon the administration of ברית חדשה from the KOHANIM and LEVITES that are appointed by ECHAD in the ingathering of the LOST TRIBES (Israel). In this ISRAEL will be seen not as a biological identification, but rather as a state of enlightenment revealing the SOUL to be an individual aspect of ECHAD, Blessed be His Name.

BEREISHIT

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH focusing on the opening statement, which in Hebrew (IVRI) it is written in the following “:בּראשית בּרא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ.” The interpretation is, “In the beginning of God’s creating the heavens and the earth.” Likewise this is the beginning of the yearly cycle of Torah. It commences with the pre-supposed idea termed G-d, as the Creator. When questioned upon the existence of G-d, the revelation was given to the NEVIIM (prophets). The revelation received by the prophets was not based upon an ascertain, but rather on personal experience. 

The PARASHAT (portion) BEREISHIT commences its unfoldment with the narrative of the creation of heaven and earth. It is disclosed in the portion that ECHAD employs a principle when creating. The principle is, He finishes a thing first, then squeezes it down into seed form, with an appointment somewhere in space and time when it is destined to begin its unfoldment.

From the ROOT LANGUAGE of Torah (the spiritual interpretation), the scenario of the creation of heaven and earth is not the creation of this present world, but rather the creation of OLAM HA BA, that is, the world to come. This present world is the product of the SUPERIMPOSITION of the EGO on OLAM HA BA. The superimposition of the EGO is the shell of OLAM HA BA. Thus OLAM HA BA is now, which gives rise to the experience thereof in this present world. It is the experience of OLAM HA BA that a prophet seeks in the revelation of what has been predetermined.

We are living in a season whereas the shell of OLAM HA BA is being dissolved giving rise to its manifestation. The dissolving of the shell, that is, this present world, is a product of the mastery of the speaking world, that is, ATZULUT.

The mastery of the speaking world is the product of receiving SEFA from a Teacher. When a student is ready, the Teacher is revealed to aid in trekking the path of life in the ATTAINMENT of a conscious ascension into OLAM HA BA.

SHOFTIM

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our attention on the opening scenario contained within the PARASHAT. The narrative unfolds with instructions on the establishment of just courts. The basic foundation of a just court is that of JUDGES and OFFICERS. Their purpose is to reveal righteous judgment.

It is important to note that TORAH is not speaking about this Present World, but rather OLAM HA BA, i.e., the world to come. This present world is the product of the EGO’S superimposition of itself on OLAM HA BA within the limitation of space and time. On the other hand, OLAM HA BA is eternal in nature where what is predetermined by ECHAD is disclosed. In other words, the instruction to establish just courts has to do with the structure of the UPPER FORCES.

The UPPER FORCES are qualities in PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is a sensation experienced as being everything, i.e. the ALL. The SOUL is perceived as grades beginning with the lowest are NEFEST, RUACH, NESHAMAH, CHAYAH and YECHIDAH. Understanding the qualities of these grades will reveal that the SOUL is the CREATOR of the ALL. When the highest level of the SOUL is experienced, i.e. the YECHIDAH, the sensation of the ALL is the result. This result is being one with ECHAD.

Within the grade of SOUL termed YECHIDAH is the force termed SUPERNAL JUDGMENT. SUPERNAL JUDGMENT may be described as a determinate counsel that ensures that what ECHAD, Blessed be His Name, has predetermined will unfold. It is the force of Supernal Judgment that will give rise to the dissolving of the EGO’S superimposition of this PRESENT WORLD thus revealing OLAM HA BA.

The instructions to establish just courts are a disclosure of the unfoldment of the SYSTEM created by the SOUL to reveal It’s concealed nature in the manifestation of the GOAL of CREATION, yea, it is to aid in the transformation of the EGO into a vessel of light.

EIKEV (con't)

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT EIKEV with the implication of the statement made by the NAVI MOSHE declaring, “You shall remember the entire road on which HaShem your God led you these forty years in the Wilderness so as to afflict you, to test you, to know what is in your heart whether you would observe His commandments or not.” Deuteronomy 8:2 To understand the implication, one must be mindful that TORAH is not speaking of the PRESENT WORLD, but rather it is a revelation of OLAM HA BA, that is, the world to come.

Understanding OLAM HA BA is a revelation. The revelation is a disclosure of the process of evolution that is undergone by the human conscious experience referred to in Jewish spirituality as ADAM RISHON. The EMET (truth) that we are undergoing a process of evolution can be seen in the observation of nature. For instance, the process of a caterpillar evolving into a butterfly is an example. The caterpillar is an entity of the animate world that moves by INSTINCT. The INSTINCT of the caterpillar guides it on the ground where it receives nourishment, shelter, and the like, until NATURE that is external to it applies the right pressure to cause it to cocoon itself. The cocooning of itself is a process that it undergoes to enter into a higher level of existence. The next step is the destruction of the cocoon that was created instinctively. The destruction of the COCOON reveals that a METAMORPHOSIS has taken place. The METAMORPHOSIS discloses a new level of existence above the ground, flying in the AIR. This quality of life, that is, evolution, is present in the human conscious experience. Because we possess VOLITION which is above INSTINCT, we are empowered to participate in our EVOLUTION consciously.

This is the implication of the instructions given by the NAVI MOSHE to BENEI YISRAEL (the Children of Israel), yea, the remembering of the entire road has to do with the concept that our history repeats itself for the purpose of SELF-REALIZATION. Self-Realization is the disclosure that the SOUL is SUPERNAL in nature with the purpose of causing the physical body to become equivalent in nature. We are destined to become ONE WITH ECHAD in the physical form.

BEHAR

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by meditating upon the instruction given to the NAVI Moshe concerning the unfoldment of the SHEMITTAH and TOVEL. The SHEMITTAH is the observance of the seventh year. YOVEL is the observance of the 50th year after the unfoldment of seven SHEMITTOT. The question is, What do these observances imply concerning OLAM HA BA, i.e. the world to come?

Torah is to be understood as a SUPERNAL DOCUMENT given for the purpose of discerning the WORLD to COME. Yea, about 20% can be taken literally, the other 80% is based on interpretation. The focus on the SHEMITTAH and the TOVEL is to be based on this PREMISE. What both observances have in common is REST and REDEMPTION.

REST in reference to the world to come is the result of ascension into the HIGHER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS where STILLNESS, PEACEFULNESS, QUIETNESS and CONFIDENCE are experienced. This conscious state is a quality that is experienced by the REDEEMED. 

The REDEMPTION is liberation from the IGNORANCE that gives rise to the bondage of the SOUL. The bondage is IGNORANCE of It being an individual spark of the SUPERNAL and identifying ITSELF as NATURE. When the SOUL COMES into the truth of BEING, it is REDEEMED from IGNORANCE thus engendering the unfoldment of UNLIMITED POTENTIAL through TORAH and a TORAH TEACHER.

VEZOT HABERACHAH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is VEZOT HABERACHAH. The IVRI transliteration VEZOT HABERACHAH is interpreted to mean AND THIS (IS THE) BLESSING. The scenario unfolds the PROPHETIC BLESSING bestowed on BENEI YISRAEL before MOSHE’S transition.

In the language employed by the UPPER FORCES of MISHKAHN DAVID, the term transition is used to describe what is called PHYSICAL DEATH. It is termed transition because it is perceived to be the undergoing of change of FORM. The change of FORM is destined to aid in the ATTAINMENT of the GOAL of CREATION. The GOAL of CREATION is to come to the realization of the TRUTH of ONE’S BEING and to actualize the realization into BEING. The ACTUALIZATION of the REALIZATION of the TRUTH OF BEING is PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY. PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY is a REGENERATIVE STATE in which one undergoes a constant state of improvement without the possibility of DEATH. The TRANSITION of Moshe Rebeynu was a changing of FORM to that of the UPPER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS.

These BEINGS that exist in the HIGHER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS are perceived as a result of crossing MACHSOM (barrier). MACHSOM exists as a result of sensing things that are external to us through the 5 SENSES. To SENSE that which is beyond the 5 SENSES, one must build a 6th SENSE. The 6th SENSE is the ABILITY to COMPREHEND what is in the HIGHER LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS through SUPERNAL CHOCHMAH (wisdom). SUPERNAL CHOCHMAH is received as a TRANSMISSION FROM A SAGE to the PROTEGE. It is written, “One who walks with the wise will grow wise.” (Proverbs 13:20a)

As the SCENARIO continues it’s UNFOLDMENT, it discloses the EXISTENCE of the HOLY MYRIAD. The HOLY MYRIADS are beings of the UPPER LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS that aid in the education of BENEI YISRAEL in the ATTAINMENT of the GOAL of CREATION. In the scenario, they (the HOLY MYRIADS) are viewed as those who received the fiery TORAH from ECHAD in order to TEACH it to YISRAEL. The reference to the fiery TORAH is indicative of understanding it from the ROOT LANGUAGE contained in the UPPER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS. Indeed this is what give rise to experiencing the 6th SENSE as a comprehension of what exists in the UPPER WORLD, i.e. THE WORLD TO COME, through SUPERNAL EDUCATION received by a TRANSMISSION of WISDOM, yea, the TRANSMISSION is an ORAL TRADITION.

EMOR

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the interpretation of the TITLE of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is EMOR. The IVRI transliteration EMOR is interpreted into the WORD “SAY.” The PARASHAT starts out with the SCENARIO of the HOLY BLESSED ONE of YISRAEL giving instructions to MOSHE REBEYNU disclosing standards to the KOHANIM on how to maintain a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD, yea, it is the responsibility of SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP in the establishment of and maintenance of the COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS of a SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY.

Concerning the responsibility of establishing and maintaining the COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS of a SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY, the NAVI ISAIAH received the following VISION, it is written, “I know their actions and their thoughts; the time has come to gather all nations and tongues, they will come and see My glory. I will put a sign upon them and send some of them as survivors to the nations - Tarshish, Pul, Lud, the Achers, Tubal and Javan, the distant islands who have not heard of My fame and not seen My glory - and they will declare My glory among the nations. They will bring all your brethren from all the nations as an offering to HaShem - with horses and with chariots and with covered wagons and with mules - with joyous dances, to My holy mountain, Jerusalem, says HaShem; just as the Children of Israel bring the offering in a pure vessel to the House of HaShem. From them, too, I will take men to be Kohanim and Levites, says HaShem.” (Isaiah 66:18-21) From this passage contained within the NEVIIM, we are able to discern that Echad has predetermined to raise up KOHANIM (priests) and LEVITES for the purpose of the gathering together of all nations and languages to witness to His GLORY as well as the aiding of BENEI YISRAEL in returning to a CONSCIOUS ONENESS. The glory which is described as the visible manifestation of His INVISIBLE  attributes in reality is the uncovering of His CONCEALED qualities that are latent within the ALL. The functions of these KOHANIM and Levites are diverse from those in the past. No doubt this indicates that we are undergoing evolution in a UNIVERSE of BECOMING.

The KOHANIM and LEVITES employ the METHODOLOGY of MISHKAHN DAVID creating an INTEGRAL EDUCATION with the foundation being the KNOWLEDGE of ECHAD, it is written, “They will neither injure nor destroy in all of My sacred mountain; for the earth will be as filled with knowledge of HaShem as water covering the sea bed.” (Isaiah 11:9)

The authority of the KOHANIM and Levites is based on the revelation of the NAME ECHAD, yea, it is written, “HaShem will be King over all the land; on that day HaShem will be One and His Name will be One.” (Zechariah 14:9)

The glory that will be made manifest is ETERNAL LIFE without the possibility of death. The KOHANIM and LEVITES have begun the unfoldment of GLORY as seen by the NEVIIM that envision the EVERLASTING KINGDOM predetermined by ECHAD to take place on earth. READ ISAIAH 25:8.

YITRO Part 3

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT YITRO by contemplating upon the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “God spoke all these statements, saying: I am HaShem, your God, Who has taken you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. You shall not recognize the gods of others in My presence.” (Exodus 20:1-3) In this passage, which is the commencement of the Ten Commandments, we are given a REVELATION of a PRINCIPLE that is destined to GOVERN human affairs. The PRINCIPLE is the RECOGNITION of ONE POWER that is TERMED G-d, yea, it is the RECOGNITION of ONE POWER that gives rise to liberation. We are enslaved under the TASKMASTER called the EGO which employs SUFFERING to hold us in CAPTIVITY. It is the RECOGNITION that there is ONE POWER along with the revelation that the TRUTH of BEING is that we are that ONE POWER INDIVIDUALIZED that commences our exodus out of SUFFERING into the WHOLE of REALITY where we experience KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE and BLISS.

POWER may be defined as the ABILITY to INFLUENCE THOUGHT, OPINION and BEHAVIOR. This ability is what may be termed as the IMPETUS behind all FORCES. POWER is G-d and He delegates this AUTHORITY within CREATION to aid in the UNFOLDMENT and INFOLDMENT of the UNIVERSE manifesting HIS GOAL. The GOAL is that ALL would become ONE WITH ECHAD. The prophet described the MANIFESTATION OF THE GOAL in the following way, “The wolf will live with the sheep and the leopard will lie down with the kid; and a calf, a lion whelp and a fatling will walk together, and a young child will lead them. A cow and bear will graze and their young will lie down together; and a lion, like cattle, will eat hay. A suckling will play by a viper’s hole, and a newly weaned child will stretch his hand toward an adder’s lair. They will neither injure nor destroy in all My sacred mountain; for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of HaShem as water covering the seabed.” (Isaiah 11:6-9) In this passage of the NEVIIM, it is disclosed that the MANIFESTATION of ECHAD in Creation is experienced as the CESSATION of SUFFERING and the APPEARANCE of ETERNAL PEACE. It further reveals that it is the product of the KNOWLEDGE of G-d filling every available conceivable place on earth. Without a doubt, this filling of the EARTH with the KNOWLEDGE of G-d is the TASK of the JEWISH SOUL. Thus this implies a receiving of POWER.

As aforementioned, POWER is delegated by G-d, it is written, “For neither from sunrise nor from sunset, nor from the wilderness comes greatness. For God is the Judge, He lowers this one and raises that one.” (Psalm 75:7,8) Since G-d is the Judge, it is evident that He determines who He will delegate POWER to. When the ABUSE of POWER occurs, it is often experienced NEGATIVE. It is the NEGATIVE experience of POWER that gives rise to the TEMPTATION of ascribing the POWER to others. This error in judgment engenders being enslaved by the ERRONEOUS PERCEPTION of the POWER. Thus liberation commences with the perception of the EMET (truth) that there is ONLY ONE POWER, that is ECHAD, blessed be His NAME.

CHAYEI SARAH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is CHAYEI SARAH. The IVRI transliteration CHAYEI SARAH is indicative of the idea of SARAH’S LIFETIME. The portion begins its unfoldment with the SCENARIO of the age in which our MATRIARCH underwent her transition into what is termed OLAM HABA, that is, the world to come. From the perspective of MISHKAHN DAVID, OLAM HABA is what is termed the Holy of Holies. The Holy of Holies is the world above this present world. It lies outside of body consciousness, that is, the Holy Place, far above what can be experienced by the the 5 SENSES.

The EMET (truth) that OLAM HABA lies beyond what can be experienced by the 5 senses, is not to say that while present in the physical body, it is beyond COMPREHENSION. On the contrary, the COMPREHENSION of OLAM HABA is to be the GOAL to be met while occupying the PHYSICAL BODY. OLAM HABA which is beyond SPACE, TIME and MOTION is experienced as PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. In particular, when PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is ATTAINED, the NATURE is transformed giving rise to experiencing the QUALITIES of KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE and BLISS. This ATTAINMENT is the end of ALL SUFFERING.

OLAM HABA is the SPIRITUAL WORLD, when the SOUL is separated from the PHYSICAL BODY, it ascends into this place which is termed the Holy of Holies, yea, King Solomon declares that It returns to the CREATOR. READ ECCLESIASTES 12:6,7. This return is not a cessation of CONSCIOUSNESS, but rather a TRANSITION to a WIDER EXISTENCE. In other words, from the HOLY of HOLIES, it is seen that there is no death in LIFE, but rather CHANGE.

LECH LECHA, Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT LECH LECHA by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “So Abram went up from Egypt, he with his wife and all that was his, and Lot with him to the south.” (Genesis 13:1) In this passage contained within TORAH, the journey of AVRAHAM continues. The journey is indicative of the PATH that is trekked by a HOST SOUL in pursuit of the HIGHER DIMENSIONS. These HIGHER DIMENSIONS are experienced in OLAM HABA, that is, the world to come.

OLAM HABA is experienced in the CONSCIOUS STATE termed the HOLY OF HOLIES. The HOLY OF HOLIES is descriptive of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is destined to be experienced within the PHYSICAL BODY. The ATTAINMENT of this state is what gives rise to ASCENSION out of SUFFERING resulting from the unfoldment of KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE and BLISS. The scenario reveals that one who is on the PATH can accelerate the ASCENSION by following the MECHANICS disclosed IN AVRAHAM. Following the MECHANICS disclosed IN AVRAHAM not only results in PERSONAL ATTAINMENT, but also CORRECTION in the COLLECTIVE SOUL that will engender the experience of HEAVEN ON EARTH, which is the INFOLDMENT of a NEW CIVILIZATION.

The MECHANIC disclosed to ABRAHAM reveals that PERSONAL ATTAINMENT of the HIGHER DIMENSIONS is effected by those who we company with. It is written, “One who walks with the wise will now wise, but the companion of fools will be broken.” (Proverbs 13:20) From the perspective of the PARZUF (SPIRITUAL FORM), wisdom is the quality of the SEFIRAH termed CHOCHMAH. This quality is experienced as non-differentiation. As aforementioned, the ATTAINMENT of this SPIRITUAL STATE is effected by walking with one who has ATTAINED. The journey is one in which the MOVEMENT is experienced as an ASCENSION from FAITH to KNOWLEDGE. The KNOWLEDGE that is gained is the INFOLDMENT of ONENESS with ECHAD. The journey with the WISE requires LOYALTY and submission to the instructions that are demonstrated both in WORD and DEED.
