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.

 

NOACH

Shalom Shalom. This week’s DEVAR TORAH is NOACH. NOACH is tzadik; he walked with God.
•    Even though Noach walked with God, he did not reach the Goal of Creation. He is also a prophet who has given himself over to mind refinement (stilling the mind and reflecting). He is moving in the spirit of prophecy which is speaking absolute truth. The commands come down through the spirit of prophecy. The spirit of prophecy is an authority. Noach is the senior prophet on the planet at that time. As He submits to the spirit of prophecy, he receives instructions. He received the solution to the problem that was about to come.
•    Perfection can’t create imperfection. Deficiency that we experience is a process. Challenge comes for one reason - to aid in reaching Goal of Creation. It comes from both the good inclination and the bad inclination. In our limited free will, we can either choose to respond or to react. Complaining will keep the challenge coming. Responding is with stillness. Be still in times that look like destruction. Everything is moving in harmony with reaching the Goal of Creation. Don’t reject or despise the challenge.
•    Jews are given the purpose of aiding in creating. We are creating the world. The word came into being by the power/authority of God. He is One with His authority. Authority is given to establish the standards of the Creator. Servants work in harmony with the authority. There is only one authority. We are not to go against it.
•    God formed man from the dust of the ground. The form is the measurement that God predetermined. Then He blew His energy into the specified measurement. When the requirements are met, then the Creator can enliven it. We are putting things in order. When challenge comes, check the specifics and make the corrections. Whatever God does lasts forever. What He enlivens lasts forever.

 

BERESHIT

Shalom Shalom. This week’s DEVAR TORAH is BERESHIT meaning in the beginning.
•    This is a new Torah cycle. It is also the 7th year (SHEMITTAH). In the 7th year, we have remission which gives us a clean slate. Don’t carry over any baggage from past years.
•    We are creating a world. Use principles to create it. The Light at the beginning is not visible. It is Pure Soul Consciousness. When it says God created, it is speaking of us creating. God is not different from us. There is only one consciousness - Pure Soul Consciousness. It is Consciousness that enlivens the beged/body. Eyes/vision, ears/hearing, nose/smelling, mouth/taste, touch/feeling are just one thing manifesting in different ways. They are holes that the Light goes out through (lens). Pure Soul Consciousness is pure. If you are pure, what is outside of you will be pure. What is sensed is affected by the lens. If you see chaos, deal with the lens. Your own lens creates what is outside of you. We are to walk in the Light, walk in Purity which is behind the lens. The first thing to do is turn on the Light and clean your lens. The truth is in you, not outside of you; you have all the answers.
•    In the 7th year, there was to be no planting. The harvest in the 6th year would be enough for the 6th, 7th, and 8th years. Any debts in the Jewish community has to be forgiven. It is a new beginning. In this 7th year, we are to focus on Torah (ETZ CHAIM) from the Root language and to practice it with precision. We are finishing the works of creation and the human conscious experience. We are evolving into the image and likeness of the Creator. Perfection can’t create imperfection. Creation is not finished. If it was, we would appear as God. Creation begins with God and the last creation is man. These are opposites. It is God becoming man, then man becoming God. It is a process.
•    In Bereshit chapter 1 are the 10 sayings and can be seen in the physical body - the world of Adam Kadmon, Atzilute (speaking), Beriah (animate/skin), Yetzirah (vegetative/hair, nails), and Assyiah (inanimate/bones). All of creation will be filled with the knowledge of God. Begin to discriminate. Have great confidence. The potential of God is in everything. Like a seed, it has all the information in it. When the lens is clean, we see the glory.
•    In the PARTZUF (spiritual form), Adam Kadmon is above the barrier (Pure Soul Consciousness). Below the barrier (Malchut) is Atzilut, creatures and worlds. The physical body becomes subject to the soul which is the governing force. Every event leads to being reflected in Malchut. It is being governed. The choice is to respond (go upward) or react (go downward). Events come so we can reach to Goal of Creation. We are being governed by the Soul. The purpose is to establish the standard of the Creator in Malchut. Follow the commands without questioning even if you don’t understand them. Learn how to trust your Soul.
•     Stop trying to find truth outside of you. Learn to read the Book that you are. It is the end of all duty because purpose is clear. The mind goes to stillness, nothingness. There is nothing in the ego that can question who you really are. Have confidence to walk as God. You can't be like God, you have to be God.

 

VAYEILECH

Shalom Shalom. This week’s DEVAR TORAH is VAYEILECH meaning and went.
•    In Malachi, it says that the hearts of the fathers would return to the sons and the sons to the fathers. It is not talking about biological fathers but spiritual fathers. In II Kings, Elisha calls Eliyahu father when he is taken up in a chariot of fire. Elisha is then able to do the same thing that Eliyahu did - part the water. Spiritual fathers leave a spiritual inheritance. The return of the father is referring to the greater and mightier nation that was promised to Moshe. They will have the faculty/gifting of Moshe. This is the authority that removes the curtain that is hiding OLAM HABA. It is the instructions that are inherited from the father to the children then embodied to receive the faculty. We return to the Book, Torah.
•    Perfection cannot create imperfection. In creation the goal is to have a visible field of unlimited potential. From the field of invisible unlimited potential, a contraction took place that created a hollow in which creation takes place. The farther from the Endless Light the more solid, opposite of the Creator. It looks imperfect, but at the center is perfection. Creation is not finished; we are completing it. Everything seen in contrast has to ascend up and become a visible manifestation. In the constriction is the physical body which is memory. It has both evil inclination and good inclination. There are 4 aspects. 1. The lowest level - it is dormant, in the subconscious, like a baby. 2. Extended - The environment causes the good and bad inclinations to come out. When you react to blows, your environment controls you; happy, sad, anger, etc. 3. Control - When you start to cross over the barrier. When you receive a blow, you control the inclinations; respond and not react. You control the inclinations that are within you. It is based on Stillness. 4. Elimination of Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) and only have good, delight, no evil. You no longer are under blessings and curses. In Extended and Control, you still experience blessing and curses. Use introspection to control what is in you. Dominate what is in you, not what is external to you. Keep controlling until you transform. Perfection is then in the physical body - immortality.
•    HITPASHTUT is the development of Godliness. Adam Rishon is one Soul comprised of many souls. When we fell below the barrier, a shattering took place, like puzzle pieces. Soul mates were broken up. In the story of Noach, it says the sons of God married the daughters of men and they had children. This went against what was before the shattering. It brought contention. The daughters of men had a negative influence on the sons of God. They were not soul mates. Moshe sees that Israel will stray after other gods after they enter the Land. In other words, they would have interfaith marriages. In Ezra it says, “You have been unfaithful and taken alien wives.” The Creator told them to divorce their alien wives. They then move into the correction properly. Spirituality can be destroyed by being connected to someone you are not supposed to be with. Reach the high level of consciousness by being with your soul mate. In G’MAR TIKKUN we come back together into our primeval state.

 

NITZAVIM

Shalom Shalom. This week’s DEVAR TORAH is NITZAVIM meaning standing.
•  In Bet development there are 4 exiles that deal with governments/culture that are mortal in nature. Culture is social behavior based on knowledge and belief in common in a group of people. This is an external influence. Because of this, it is necessary to renew the Covenant. There will be a change in culture to that which is immortal. Daniel saw the 4th beast wage war against the holy ones and prevailed until Atik Yomim (ascension). We defeat the beast by ascension. Our weapons are patience, wisdom and judgment. We destroy the mortal culture, controlling influence; it is the enemy. Those assimilated into it must be converted. The Covenant must be renewed because of the influence on the physical body.
•    Warfare is against culture. We have to liberate ourselves - recognize the enemy and fight against it. Every generation should have renewed the Covenant, moved away from cultural influence into the influence of TORAH. There is an impetus in us to search for truth, to return to TORAH, His Voice, then He returns us home. The Voice is before the zavah (army). It is all about the Voice. You don’t hear the Voice for yourself because of identification with the ego. The Voice comes from Binah. To learn to hear the Voice, you need to practice discrimination. 1) a blow/vibration comes i.e., a word, dream, etc.; 2) the vibration becomes a current (meaning) in the body; 3) the current hits the screen and becomes knowledge. This happens very quickly. Meaning comes before the picture. Recognize vibrations, currents and how your mind works. Be patient and take your time to discriminate. This is how to tell whether your dream is one of clarity or karmic. You don’t want to guess, you want to be clear. You start out listening to a Voice outside of you (your teacher). Mishkahn David teaches you how to hear for yourself.
•    The Creator’s Voice is what we follow in doing Mitzvot. The Voice has no words, it is not heard. It is a vibration. Practice discrimination in meditation. Attention - focus, then move to contemplation where questions and meaning come about what you are meditating on. Concentration - you become what you meditate on. The blow from the object (vibration) travels as a current in mental waves. The current is the meaning which then formulates in the mind as knowledge.
•    Above the barrier is Root Language - the different Names of God. The Sefirot are qualities of God; they are light not words. Words are below the barrier - Branch Language. Words are combinations of letters that are the Names of God. Vibrations above become words. The meaning comes before the word/form. Understand how to get to the answer that is within you.
•    Sefer Torah has stories that are combinations and arrangements of the qualities of the Creator. They are different combinations and arrangement of lights that form words that made the stories. We are OHR AYIN (endless light) that shines through the lens of Malchut - letters that produce stories. Your life is the same thing. In body are memories that go through the lens and makes your stories. We want our stories to be like the Creator. The memories within (letters) have to be corrected. Get rid of memory and change the story to reach the Goal of Creation. You create your own stories.  

KI TAVO

Shalom Shalom. This week’s DEVAR TORAH is KI TAVO meaning when you enter.
•    Land represents crossing over MACHSOM into spirituality. The development of Godliness began with aleph development. Humanity was in state of oneness. There was no free will, only HARATZON ELYON. Falling below the barrier was so we would have free will. We have free will to choose to do Supreme Will. It is the highest level of the Soul. We are given disciplines to subject free will to the Creator’s Will. Assign all activity to the Creator. In G’MAR TIKKUN (final correction), you lose the sense of self and gain your true self. When we move with the Will that is Supreme, we complete the transformation.
•    We are destined to do the impossible, but it takes tremendous sacrifice (the ego). We can do the impossible by changing our priorities/value system. It takes changing the way you think. We are establishing a government. The more focused you are, the more your thoughts will be on government. In the portion, we are told to bring our first fruits (10%) to the government. This is about prioritizing. Your actions have to be in harmony with priority. Do the right thing, not just a good thing. It is a choice. This government was made by the Higher Self. It takes the power of the Supreme Will to do the right thing.
•    Yisrael was to carve the blessings & curses in stone at the mountains to the entrance of the Land. This established the standard of the nation at the borders. Our constitution, the Torah, is set at the borders. Our warfare is against ideologies that oppose Torah. The fight is in you to overcome the ego. It is established at the lowest level - set in stone- the world of ASSYAH. Follow the instruction of Torah from the ROOT language.
•    We are moving up the more than 125 grades. There is no movement on the grade you are in. Movement requires you to establish godliness (mastery) in whatever level you are in. When it is established, promotion is earned. Not everyone is at the same level/grade. This is done through concentration. “Be attentive and hear.” It begins by focusing attention. Attention causes you to ascend into KETHER where commands have their origin (no words). Then you move to concentration which is the ability to hold focus. When you are able to hold concentration, you will do all the commands. It is beyond meditation. KETHER is where Voice comes from. Establish higher level of consciousness with attention to breathing up. Those who have accomplished it can teach others.
•    We are in a real battle with real casualties. Identification with the ego is a sense of isolation, being an individual. To be an individual will kill you. The battle is in us. No one can fight the battle for you. You can win the battle by removing all memory. Living without memory is peace.
•    The announcement of curses and blessings take form at the border. To be above the border means not living in the past. If you talk of the past, let it be fresh, new. This enables you to fight in a formidable way. With no memory, you establish your light body in Malchut. Get rid of the past. Above the barrier, there are no blessings or curses. Follow the instructions to fight the battle and keep from being a casualty. We are clothed in a vessel of memory. It goes with you wherever you go. When it come us, confess it is a memory and move on. Keep confessing until it is transformed.

 

KI TEITZEI

Shalom Shalom. This week’s DEVAR TORAH is KI TEITZEI meaning when you will go out.
•     Actualization is the unfoldment of the invisible Creator in the BEGED (physical immortality).  To cross over also means to enter the state of warfare with the ego. The ego is the identification with the BEGED. It is the product of memory. Each cell in the BEGED has memory in it. Warfare is how to deal with memories in the cells and organs at level of impression. We have partaken of the tree of good and bad. There is no problem transforming the bad, it is the good we want to keep and not transform. To actualize, we need to transform both. Ascension into YECHIDAH takes real warfare internally. There are temptations in warfare to keep beautiful forms, but it must be transformed. Physical immortality begins when you are conscious of the YECHIDAH which is a calm delight. Don’t mistake pleasure for consciousness of the YECHIDAH. When you are conscious of the YECHIDAH, the BEGED (physical body) is transformed into the Creator.  
•    Discriminating of Conscious Levels: memory, desire - subconscious level; Stillness, Calmness - Pure Soul Consciousness. Impressions are transformed into qualities of the Creator. It is form that covers them. Memory is in form. The purpose of the honoring system is to transfer sefa, information from one generation to the next. The blessing of the firstborn (Bechor Bechorim) is so it would be passed down. In submission to the Upper Levels, the blessing may go to someone who is not firstborn, such as Yaacob and not Esau. Otherwise it goes to the firstborn.  
•    What is external is the Creator - a field of infinite potential. What you see externally is what is focused on inwardly. Mental waves goes out and touch what is external and comes back to the screen in the mind. We have a choice to perceive it from the subconscious or Pure Soul Consciousness. The third wave then goes out to project (yourself) on what is external. Restrain the tendency to identify things with memory; kill it within and project peace. Exercise restraint before projection goes out and have dominion externally.    
•    We possess omniscience (knowledge). The teacher draws knowledge out of you, not just gives you knowledge. Omniscience is deep water that needs to be drawn out. It is important to guard the knowledge.  
•    Dreams comes through a multitude of purposeful activity. There is a tendency to quit when we do purposeful activity and don't see results. A dream requires supernal energy. You need tenacity; don’t faint when adversity comes. Abraham had tenacity. He didn’t give up just because it didn’t happen instantly. Every thought has a word. We must guard our words. Get in harmony with what is within and speak in harmony with it. Move in harmony with the vision and your actions will be right.  
•    The mind is not good with subtraction, but is good with addition and multiplication. Subtraction is negative. In the higher levels of consciousness, there is no subtraction. You can’t lose. The lower nature feels like you can. Zero has no ending around it. Limitation has unlimited around it. You only think you are losing something; it is an illusion. The name ECHAD includes everything. The word God is insufficient. Words and thoughts are inseparable.   
•    Intellect dissects/divides things. Intellect is a reflection of high level of consciousness in the mind.  Intellect gives form to what we see. We are not trying to divide things but bring things into oneness. Dreams come from BINAH; Intellect makes form in MALCHUT.
