BEHAR Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT BEHAR by placing our ATTENTION upon the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “You shall count for yourselves seven cycles of sabbatical years, seven years seven times: the years of the seven cycles of sabbatical years shall be for you forty-nine years. You shall sound a broken blast on the shofar in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month: on the day of ATONEMENT you shall sound the shofar throughout your land. You shall sanctify the fiftieth year and proclaim freedom throughout the land for all its inhabitants: it shall be the Jubilee Year for you, you shall return each man to his ancestral heritage and you shall return each man to his family.” (Leviticus 25:8-10) In this passage of TORAH, ECHAD discloses to the NAVI Moshe instructions on the OBSERVANCE of  YOVEL, that is, the year of Jubilee. It is to commence with the sound of SHOFAR on the DAY of ATONEMENT on the fiftieth year. Without a doubt, the language employed in these instructions CONCEAL a revelation that will AID in the INFOLDMENT of the UNIVERSE.

The INFOLDMENT of the UNIVERSE OF BECOMING is descriptive of the MANY becoming ONE. This process of the MANY becoming ONE is the product of a combination of INDIVIDUAL and CORPORATE EFFORT.

The EFFORT to be set in motion by the INDIVIDUAL is a CONSCIOUS ascension into the STATE of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. To engage in the EFFORT, ONE must commence with the REFINEMENT of the MIND. The REFINEMENT of the MIND has to do with clearing ONESELF from the EFFECT of EGOISM. EGOISM is a distorted view of REALITY resulting from SUPERIMPOSING ERROR upon CREATION. As aforementioned, within the INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING the OBSERVATION of YOVEL is the revelation of the WORK. The timing which is an ILLUSION OF THE MIND discloses that there are POINTS in ETERNITY for those who will engage with the EFFORTS of ASCENSION whereas the WINDOWS of opportunity are OPENED where one can RISE.

On the other hand, CONCEALED within the INSTRUCTIONS is the concept of REST. The REST is married to the CONCEPT of RETURNING to our ancestral heritage. From a perspective of ECHAD as being IMPERSONAL, this is indicative of a CEASING from ONE’S own LABOR for the purpose of ENTERING into the EFFORTS of ECHAD. The EFFORTS of ECHAD is bestowing PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS upon the INDIVIDUAL where along with others that are like minded the EFFECT is the experience of KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE and BLISS. The combined EFFORTS of WORK and REST give rise to the INFOLDMENT whereas humanity will make a QUANTUM LEAP into STATE where the MANY ATTAIN the PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS of ECHAD.

BEHAR

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing upon the INTERPRETATION of the title of the PARASHAT, “BEHAR.” The IVRI transliteration BEHAR is descriptive of being “ON THE MOUNT.” Both from the PHYSICAL and SPIRITUAL perspectives, the term MOUNT is indicative of the idea of ELEVATION. With this idea in MIND, we place our ATTENTION on the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “HaShem spoke to Moses on MOUNT Sinai, saying: Speak to the Children of Israel and say to them: When you come into the land that I give you, the land shall observe a Sabbath rest for Hashem. For six years you may sow your field and for six years you may prune your vineyard; and you may gather in its crop. But the seventh year shall be a complete rest for the land, a Sabbath for HaShem; your field you shall not sow and your vineyard you shall not prune. The after growth of your harvest you shall not reap and the grapes you had set aside for yourself you shall not pick; it shall be a year of rest for the land. The Sabbath produce of the land shall be yours to eat, for you, for your slave, and for your maidservant; and for your laborer and for your resident who dwell with you. And for your animal and for the beast that is in your land shall all its crop be to eat.” (Leviticus 25:1-7) In this passage of TORAH, it is disclosed that the land that G-d has given to the Jewish People remains under HIS administrative AUTHORITY. In other words, the REVELATION is that what G-d GIVES REMAINS HIS. The question is, “How can one give something and yet retain OWNERSHIP?”

The EMET (truth) that ALL THINGS are under the OWNERSHIP of ECHAD is substantiated in the following passage found in TEHILLIM, it is written, “… HaShem’s is the earth and its fulness, the inhabited land and those who dwell in it.” (Psalm 24:1) In this DISCLOSURE, it is REVEALED that both POSSESSIONS and the POSSESSOR belongs to ECHAD. This MYSTERY is based upon the fundamental principle that ALL of CREATION is a MANIFESTATION of ECHAD. This principle is based upon the mechanic employed by ECHAD in CREATING, yea, He CREATED BY calling HIMSELF into EXISTENCE.

The human conscious experience is the IMAGE and LIKENESS of G-d. The process employed to CREATE the IMAGE and LIKENESS of G-d commenced by MAKING MAN A RECEIVER. G-d is not a RECEIVER, but rather ONE WHO BESTOWS. This EMET is based upon His OWNERSHIP of ALL THINGS. Thus the creation of the human conscious experience in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of G-d with the ATTRIBUTE of RECEIVING made this a NEW CREATION in ECHAD. As a NEW CREATION, the GOAL is to be LIKE THE CREATOR. To become like the CREATOR, MAN who is a RECEIVER must BECOME the BESTOWER. This possibility can only exist if both the BESTOWER and the RECEIVER are ONE.

It is from the PERSPECTIVE that the BESTOWER and the RECEIVER are ONE that ECHAD can give to the JEW LAND and it remains His POSSESSION. In other words, ECHAD gave the LAND to HIMSELF. The purpose of handling the POSSESSIONS of ECHAD in harmony with His INSTRUCTIONS is to AID in gaining the PERSPECTIVE of BEING ONE with G-d. First the ONENESS must BE REALIZED as a TRUTH of BEING, after which it is ACTUALIZED by refining the MIND with TORAH and KEEPING the MITZVOT. This is the process that has been PREDETERMINED BY ECHAD to AID in our ASCENSION from the CONSCIOUSNESS of RECEIVING to the CONSCIOUSNESS of the BESTOWER.

EMOR Part 5

Shalom, Shalom. We continue with our focus upon the PARASHAT EMOR by placing our ATTENTION upon the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “The son of an Israelite woman went out and he was the son of an Egyptian man - among the Children of Israel: they found in the camp, the son of the Israelite woman and an Israelite man. The son of the Israelite woman pronounced the Name and blasphemed - so they brought him to Moses; the name of his mother was Shelomis daughter of Divri of the tribe of Dan. They placed him in custody to clarify for themselves through HASHEM. HASHEM spoke to Moses, saying, Remove the blasphemer to the outside of the camp, and all those who heard shall lean their hands upon his head: The entire assembly shall stone him. And to the Children of Israel you shall speak, saying, Any man who will blaspheme his God shall bear his sin., and one who pronounces blasphemously the Name of HASHEM shall be put to death, the entire assembly shall surely stone him; proselyte and native alike, when he blasphemes the NAME, he shall be put to death.” (Leviticus 24:10-16) In this SCENARIO, the TORAH discloses the RESPONSE of a JEWISH COMMUNITY when a member commits BLASPHEMY against the NAME of G-d. The sentence of this ATROCIOUS SIN is CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Among a people that GOVERN themselves with the IDEA of FREE SPEECH, the question is, “Why is there such a SEEMINGLY HARSH JUDGMENT on WORDS that are SPOKEN in disrespect of G-d?”

It is evident that the IRVI (Hebrew) language was CREATED for the PURPOSE of CREATING. GENESIS chapter ONE discloses that it was LANGUAGE (HEBREW) that was SPOKEN in the UPPER FORCES that gave rise to the CREATION of the WORLD of EFFECT. In other words, language is what was PREDETERMINED by G-d to create form. The forms that are created in the UPPER FORCES when APPEARING in the WORLD of EFFECT is often described by other LANGUAGES. The other LANGUAGES that are a DEGENERATION of HEBREW will not accurately describe the FORM that was SPOKEN into EXISTENCE in the UPPER FORCES giving rise to the EXPERIENCE of ERROR. The ERROR that is EXPERIENCED may often initiate SUFFERING. In other words, it is not that G-d is BESTOWING SUFFERING upon His CREATION, but rather the experience is the product of WRONG DEFINITION. The ERROR in DEFINITION gives rise to ABNORMAL USE, which engenders the experience of SUFFERING and DESTRUCTION. This discloses that LANGUAGE can have a POWERFUL IMPACT when SPOKEN that can be either GOOD or EVIL. 

Understanding the PRINCIPLE of the effect of LANGUAGE upon CREATION reveals the NECESSITY of developing a SYSTEM that GOVERNS the USE of LANGUAGE in a COMMUNITY. The people that are in the COMMUNITY must not experience the OPPRESSION of LANGUAGE, yet the LIBERTY must be balanced with RESPONSIBILITY. Thus ECHAD gave instructions to the NAVI Moshe on the GOVERNING of LANGUAGE in a Jewish COMMUNITY. The responsibility of which would FALL both on the SPEAKER and the HEARER, with the IDEA of ELIMINATING the experience of SUFFERING and DESTRUCTION that occurs from BLASPHEMY.

The Jewish Community is purposed to be an ENSAMPLE to OLAM of HEAVEN on EARTH. In other words, the CONCEALED aspects of G-d are to be made MANIFEST in our COMMUNITIES. Therefore there must be ZERO TOLERANCE for WORDS that WILL undermine the REVELATION of ECHAD in every area of DEVELOPMENT in the HUMAN CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE. The SENTENCE pronounced upon the SIN of BLASPHEMY is a REVELATION of ZERO TOLERANCE for WORDS being spoken in a Jewish Community that UNDERMINES the MANIFESTATION of the CONCEALED attributes of ECHAD.

EMOR Part 4

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT EMOR by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “HaShem spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the Children of Israel and say to them: Hashem’s appointed festivals that you are to designate as holy convocations - these are My appointed festivals.” (Leviticus 23:1,2) In this disclosure, HaShem reveals to the NAVI Moshe the MOEDIM (appointed times) that are to be observed by BENEI YISRAEL. These MOEDIM are special days when the Jewish People are to come into a CONSCIOUS UNION with HASHEM. The UNION is to be experienced either from the perspective of G-d as being PERSONAL or IMPERSONAL, yea, they are POINTS in TIME where the Jew SYNCHRONIZES with the UPPER FORCES.

Time is an ILLUSION. It is experienced as THOUGHT in MOTION. The human conscious experience is MENTAL in NATURE. In the UNIVERSE of BECOMING, the INFOLDMENT which may be described as the MANY BECOMING ONE requires that on all levels of EXISTENCE, we are SYNCHRONIZED. The SYNCHRONIZATION of ALL EXISTENCE gives rise to the MANIFESTATION of SYNERGY in which the ENERGY of the “ALL” works to reveal ONE PURPOSE. The PURPOSE is the REVELATION of the CONCEALED ATTRIBUTES of G-d. The MOEDIM aid in this PROCESS. 

MOVEMENT in the universe of BECOMING is created by DESIRE. Through the SATISFACTION of DESIRE BESTOWED upon CREATION from the UPPER FORCES combined with the experience of UNCOMFORTABLENESS once SATISFACTION is EXPERIENCED, MOVEMENT is created to AID in the ASCENSION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, when observed in CONCERT with the instructions both by THOSE WHOSE perspective of G-d is either PERSONAL or IMPERSONAL. Yea, the result is the MANY BECOMING ONE in ACTION at the PREDETERMINED POINTS IN TIME. Thus participation with the MOVEMENT of the UNIVERSE requires ONE SYNCHRONIZING with the MOEDIM, that is, the PREDETERMINED POINTS in TIME for PRESCRIBED ACTIONS.

EMOR Part 3

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT EMOR by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage found within the SIDRAH, it is written, “HaShem spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they shall withdraw from the holies of the Children of Israel - that which they sanctify to Me - so as not to desecrate My holy Name, I am HaShem. Say to them: Throughout your generations, any man from among any of your offspring who shall come near the holies that the Children of Israel may sanctify to HaShem with his contamination upon him - that person shall be cut off from before Me, I am Hashem.” (Leviticus 22:1-3) In this passage of Torah HaShem instructs the NAVI Moshe concerning SAFEGUARDING THE SANCTITY of offerings and terumah. These instructions disclose the NATURE of G-d to possess the quality of MITZUYAM, that is, EXCELLENCE.

The term EXCELLENCE is indicative of the idea that “GOOD IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH IF BETTER IS AVAILABLE.” The NATURE of G-d is one of BESTOWAL. In other words, G-d is the quality of GIVING. He GIVES in order to SATISFY DESIRE. To substantiate this concept. the PSALMIST WROTE, “You (G-d) open Your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.” (Psalm 145:16) The purpose of G-d satisfying the desire of every living thing is to create MOVEMENT. The MOVEMENT is the result of SATISFACTION. In other words, once a DESIRE is satisfied, the nature of the RECEIVER becomes UNCOMFORTABLE creating a DESIRE for something ELSE, it is written, “As the grave and GEHINNOM are not sated, so the eyes of man are not sated.” (Proverbs 27:20) As aforementioned, this quality belonging to the RECEIVER of not being able to experience the complete satisfaction of DESIRE creates a MOVEMENT towards the NATURE of the CREATOR who BESTOWS. The EMET (truth) that G-d is excellent discloses that WHENEVER He satisfies the DESIRE of a RECEIVER, He GIVES HIS BEST. 

The KOHANIM are destined to be a VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of that aspect of G-d that is CONCEALED in the earthen realm. God who may be described as PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, BESTOWS from this STATE. In other words, His giving is absent of CONTAMINATION (TAMEI). Thus to handle the THINGS of G-d, the KOHANIM were instructed to ASCEND into the STATE of PURE SOULS CONSCIOUSNESS to unfold THEIR ADMINISTRATION. To administer the THINGS of G-d in the lower conscious state would give rise to the desecration of G-d’s Name in OLAM (the world). ECHAD is EXCELLENT, His NAME is EXCELLENT and He does EXCELLENT THINGS. The KOHANIM are to be this QUALITY of EXCELLENCE, thus requiring that they would ascend into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS in which nothing is TAMEI. The ascension of the KOHANIM would make it possible for BENEI YISRAEL to follow suit, the NAVI Hosea declared, “… like people like priest…” (Hosea 4:9) Image created desire. When the IMAGE of G-d is reflected in the KOHANIM, the people want to serve with EXCELLENCE. On the other hand, CORRUPTION in leadership breeds CORRUPTION in the followers. The Jewish People are to be a MANIFESTATION of EXCELLENCE in the WORLD to AID in the unfoldment of the GLORY in its PEOPLE.

EMOR Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT EMOR by placing our ATTENTION upon the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “HASHEM spoke to Moses saying: Speak to AARON, saying: Any man of your offspring throughout their generations in whom there will be a blemish shall not come near to offer the food of his God. For any man in whom there is a blemish shall not approach: a man who is blind or lame or whose nose has no bridge, or who has one limb longer than the other; or in whom there will be a broken leg or a broken arm; or who has abnormally long eyebrows, or a membrane on his eye, or a blemish in his eye, or a dry skin eruption, or a moist skin eruption, or has crushed testicles. Any man from among the offspring of Aaron the Kohen who has a blemish shall not approach to offer the fire-offerings of HaShem; he has a blemish - the food of His God he shall not approach to offer.” (Leviticus 21:16-21) In this passage found in TORAH, HaShem instructs Moshe Rebeynu concerning DISQUALIFYING blemishes that may appear within the offspring of AARON, thus making them ineligible to OFFER THE FOOD OF HIS GOD. In other words, these are BLEMISHES that PREVENT the KOHEN from performing SERVICES that give rise to the TRANSFERENCE of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The question is, “Does DISQUALIFYING BLEMISHES that APPEAR IN A PRIEST imply that the PRIEST is REJECTED BY G-d?”

In response to this question, we commence by disclosing the PURPOSE of TORAH. The purpose of TORAH is disclosed in the following passage, it is written, “See - I have placed before you today the life and the good, and the death and the evil, that which I command you today, to love HASHEM, your God, to walk in His ways, to observe His commandments, His decrees, and His ordinances; then you will live and you will multiply, and HaShem, your God, will bless you in the Land to which you come, to possess it.” (Deuteronomy 30:15,16) In this disclosure, it is revealed that embodying TORAH gives rise to BIRTHING UNLIMITED POTENTIAL. Thus the INDIVIDUAL or CORPORATE GROUP is empowered to MAXIMIZE their POTENTIAL when embodying the WAYS, COMMANDMENTS, DECREES AND ORDINANCES of ECHAD found in TORAH. The BLEMISHES are revelations suggesting that another APPROACH needs to be taken in MAXIMIZING ONE’S POTENTIAL.

ECHAD is the center of ALL those that undergo the human conscious experience. Because the UPPER FORCES, that is, PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, is present within those who undergo the human conscious experience, the possibility to have life and GOOD, i.e. to MAXIMIZE ONE’S POTENTIAL, is there. The BLEMISHES that APPEAR ON THE PRIEST are not to be a sign of REJECTION, but RATHER an INDICATOR that the RIGHT USE of THINGS will MAXIMIZE his potential. The purpose of the OFFERING OF THE FOOD OF HIS G-d had not CHANGED, but rather the APPLICATION. The KOHEN that had a DISQUALIFYING BLEMISH was instructed to EMPLOY it for HIMSELF, it is written,” The food of his God from the most holy and from the holy may he eat. But he shall not come to the Curtain, and he shall not approach the Altar, for he has a blemish…” (Leviticus 21:22,23a) Obedience to this COMMANDMENT gives rise to the UNFOLDMENT of LIFE and GOOD. In other words, it MAXIMIZES THE POTENTIAL.

The instructions that proceed forth from the UPPER FORCES are not for the PURPOSE of REJECTION, but RATHER a REVELATION that the RIGHT USE of THINGS will give rise to MAXIMIZING ONE’ POTENTIAL.

EMOR

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing upon the interpretation of the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is EMOR. The term EMOR is an IVRI (Hebrew) transliteration that is indicative of the word “SAY.” It points to the LAWS that were given to a KOHEN that were dictated to the NAVI MOSHE from HASHEM. The ATTENTION that we will give place to in the SIDRAH is found in the following passage, it is written, “HaShem said to Moses: Say to the KOHANIM, the sons of AARON, and tell them: Each of you shall not contaminate himself to a dead person among his people; except for the relative who is closet to him, to his mother and to his father, to his son, to his daughter, and to his brother; and to his virgin sister who is close to him, who has not been wed to a man; to her shall he contaminate himself. A husband among his people shall not contaminate himself to one who desecrates him.” (Leviticus 21:1-4) In this passage of TORAH, the KOHEN is instructed not to come into contact with a dead person with the exception of those who may be described as CLOSE RELATIVES. The contact with a DEAD PERSON is disclosed as that which CAUSES CONTAMINATION. The question is, What is implied by TORAH’S use of the WORD CONTAMINATION.

To understand TORAH’S use of the WORD CONTAMINATION when coming into CONTACT with the DEAD commences with the CONCEPT that the Jewish People are PURPOSED to maintain A CONSCIOUS ONENESS with ECHAD. It is written,” You have seen what I did to Egypt, and that I have borne you on the wings of eagles and brought you to ME. And now, if you hearken well to My voice and observe My covenant, you shall be to Me the most beloved treasure of all peoples for Mine is the entire world. You shall be to Me a kingdom of ministers (PRIESTS) and a holy nation…” (Exodus 19:4-6a) In this revelation, it is disclosed that ECHAD liberated BENEI YISRAEL from the bondage of MITZRAYIM (Egypt) for the purpose of bringing us TO HIMSELF. Without a doubt, from the IMPERSONAL PERSPECTIVE of G-d, this implies an ASCENSION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. It further discloses that the ASCENSION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is maintained by hearing and adhering to the instructions found in TORAH referred to as the BRIT (COVENANT). The maintenance of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS positions the Jewish People in the FULFILLMENT of our PURPOSE of being a LIGHT in which the nations of OLAM will be able to bless themselves in. The SIN of the GOLDEN CALF gave rise to the PURPOSE of the Jewish People being placed upon the KOHANIM of the TRIBE of LEVI.

Since the PURPOSE of maintaining PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS was placed on the KOHANIM, to descend from this High Level of CONSCIOUS would make them TAMEI (CONTAMINATED). Coming into contact with a DEAD PERSON challenges the MAINTENANCE of PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS by APPEARANCE. The DEAD PERSON is not DEAD, but rather has changed FORM. KING SOLOMON wrote, “Before the silver cord snaps, and the golden bowl is shattered and the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and the wheel is smashed at the pit. Thus the dust returns to the ground as it was, and the spirit returns to God Who gave it.” (Ecclesiastes 12:6-8) It is evident from this passage that from G-d’s perspective, the DEAD PERSON is not DEAD but with G-d. The APPEARANCE of the DEAD BODY WARS against this EMET (truth) creating a DESCENSION in CONSCIOUSNESS. The DESCENSION is ERRONEOUS based upon an ERROR IN PERCEPTION. To avoid the ERROR IN PERCEPTION, the KOHANIM were instructed to not come into CONTACT with a DEAD PERSON. Without a doubt, the CONTAMINATION is one of CONSCIOUSNESS. Yea, the KOHANIM are destined to MAINTAIN PURE SOULS CONSCIOUSNESS not only for themselves but that ALL might ASCEND out of the STATE of SUFFERING.

KEDOSHIM

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing upon the interpretation of the title, KEDOSHIM. The Hebrew (IVRI) transliteration KEDOSHIM is interpreted into the English word HOLY. The word HOLY is indicative of the concept of being spiritually PURE. From the impersonal perspective of G-d, HE is viewed as PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The blending of these concepts reveals that the CONSCIOUS STATE of NON-DIFFERENTIATION is what is implied by the WORD HOLY.

With this thought in MIND, we place our ATTENTION upon the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “HaShem spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the entire assembly of the Children of Israel, and say to them: You shall be holy for holy am I, HASHEM your God.” (Leviticus 19:1,2) In this passage of TORAH, it is disclosed that the Jewish People are commanded to be as ECHAD. In other words, we have been predetermined by ECHAD to be a VISIBLE REVELATION of G-d in OLAM (the world).

To be HOLY as ECHAD is HOLY requires that we possess the same NATURE. Without the NATURE of G-d, that is, the UNLIMITED POTENTIAL of ECHAD, it would be impossible to fulfill the MITZVAH (commandment). In other words, G-d would be commanding us to do that which we would be powerless to fulfill. The EMET (truth) that we have been created with UNLIMITED POTENTIAL enabling us to fulfill the MITZVAH can be seen in the following passage found in TORAH, it is written, “I call heaven and earth today to bear witness against you. I have placed life and death before you, blessing and cursing; 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 to cleave to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days, to dwell upon the land that HaShem swore to your forefathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, to give them.” (Deuteronomy 30:19,20) In this disclosure, it is revealed that LIFE of the Jew, yea, the CONSCIOUSNESS is indeed ECHAD. No doubt it was received when “… God formed the man of the dust from the ground, and He blew into his nostrils the soul of life…” (Genesis 2:7) The revelation that ECHAD is our life along with the EMET (truth) that He blew into our NOSTRILS THE SOUL of LIFE is a disclosure that G-d BLEW HIMSELF into the human conscious experience. As aforementioned, the Jewish People have been DIVINELY PURPOSED to be a VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of this EMET in OLAM. Indeed we are to ASCEND into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, thus giving rise to the MANIFESTATION of He UNLIMITED POTENTIAL in the EARTHEN REALM.

ACHAREI Part 7

Shalom, Shalom. We continue with our focus on the PARASHAT ACHAREI by placing our attention on the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “HASHEM spoke to Moses saying: Speak to the Children of Israel and say to them: I am HaShem, your God. Do not perform the practice of the land of Egypt in which you dwelled, and do not perform the practice of the land of Canaan to which I bring you, and do not follow their traditions. Carry out My laws and safeguard My decrees to follow them; I am HaShem, your God. You shall observe My decrees, and My laws, which man shall carry out and by which he shall live - I am HaShem.” (Leviticus 18:1-5) In this passage of TORAH, the NAVI Moshe receives INSTRUCTIONS admonishing BENEI YISRAEL against mixing the TRADITIONS of other GOYIM (nations) or replacing the REVELATIONS given by HASHEM to govern our LIVES. No doubt this is based upon the TENDENCY to cling to that which is FAMILIAR as well as a CURIOSITY to that which is seemingly SPIRITUAL.

In order for BENEI YISRAEL to fulfill our purpose of being TIKKUN OLAM, we were given the DECREES and LAWS found in TORAH. It is through our embodiment of these DECREES and LAWS that the rest of the NATIONS of OLAM (the world) are able to BLESS THEMSELVES. The embodiment of the REVELATIONS will manifest a HIGHER LIFE. The manifestation of the HIGHER LIFE will provide an ENSAMPLE to those who DESIRE to be TAUGHT.

It is often noted in our writings that we are living in a UNIVERSE of BECOMING, yea, it commences as the ONE BECOMING MANY and consummates in the MANY BECOMING ONE. Without a doubt, in the MANY BECOMING ONE, the requirement is that we are all observing ONE INSTRUCTION. The responsibility of BENEI YISRAEL observing and preserving the DECREES and LAWS of TORAH suggests that the INSTRUCTIONS are given to AID in the INFOLDMENT, that is, the MANY BECOMING ONE. Concerning this EMET (truth), the NAVI ZECHARIAH wrote, “It shall be on that day, spring water will flow out of Jerusalem; half of it will flow to the Eastern Sea and half of it to the Western Sea. This will be in summer and in winter. HaShem will be the King over all the land; on that day HaShem will be One and His Name will be One.” (Zechariah 14:8,9) In this prophetic utterance, it is disclosed that out of Jerusalem (the Jewish People) will come a flow of TEACHINGS that will encompass the EARTH (East and West) that will give rise to the reign of G-d in OLAM (world). These TEACHINGS will give rise to the MANY BECOMING ONE as well as the REVELATION of G-d’s Name as ECHAD. In other words, the INFOLDMENT is the result of the Jewish People embodying the DECREES and LAWS and TEACHING them to the MASSES. To ensure that this would be effected, we were given an ADMONITION warning us that we shall not mix the REVELATIONS or REPLACE them with the TRADITIONS of OTHERS. To do so will hinder the INFOLDMENT giving rise to PERPETUATING the CURRENT CONDITIONS.

ECHAREI Part 6

Shalom, Shalom. We continue with our focus on the PARASHAT ACHAREI by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “For the SOUL of the flesh is in the blood and I have assigned it for you upon the ALTAR to provide atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that atones for the SOUL.” (Leviticus 17:11) In this passage of TORAH, it is disclosed that the BLOOD ATONES FOR THE SOUL. The question is, “Is this statement INDICATIVE of the CONCEPT that G-d is, APPEASED by the SHEDDING of BLOOD in order to provide ATONEMENT?”

The chapter opens up by the presentation of INSTRUCTIONS from HASHEM on services that are OUTSIDE the TABERNACLE. The INSTRUCTIONS reveal that the ANIMALS that have been CONSECRATED as an OFFERING to HASHEM must be brought to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before slaughtering within or without the camp. The violation of this MITZVAH (command) results in being charged with BLOODSHED. The penalty is to be cut off from the midst of BENEI YISRAEL. The sages interpret this to mean that the life span would be cut short yet the individual will still have a place in the world to come. These instructions on how to deal with a CONSECRATED ANIMAL segue ways into INSTRUCTIONS concerning the CONSUMING of BLOOD and how it effects ATONEMENT. Without a doubt, TORAH is relating these two CONCEPTS, that is, CONSECRATED ANIMALS and BLOOD for ATONEMENT.

The NAVI Isaiah was given a prophetic word that BLOOD was not a requirement in order to APPEASE G-d when seeking ATONEMENT, he wrote, “Why do I need your numerous sacrifices? says HASHEM. I am sated with elevation-offerings of rams and the fat of fatlings; the BLOOD of bulls, sheep and goats I do not desire.”(Isaiah 1:11) In this prophetic utterance, it is disclosed that the BLOOD of ANIMALS does not APPEASE G-d in the pursuit of ATONEMENT. This is not to IMPLY that G-d desires the BLOOD of a human to APPEASE G-D in the PURSUIT of ATONEMENT. In the AKEIDAH, that is, the BINDING of ISAAC on the ALTAR, AVRAHAM was prevented from sacrificing his SON, that is, shedding his BLOOD and SUPERNATURALLY PROVIDED  with a RAM. Thus the question remains, What is implied by the CONCEPT of SHEDDING BLOOD for providing AT-ONE-MENT.

The sages have declared that BLOOD is indicative of LIFE. Thus the shedding of BLOOD in the SERVICE of G-d is a revelation of a LIFE that is TOTALLY DEDICATED to ECHAD. This discloses that a LIFE that is TOTALLY DEDICATED to ECHAD is empowered to provide ATONEMENT. It is no small wonder that the KOHEN GADOL was instructed to provide ATONEMENT for HIMSELF, HIS MISHPACHAH and BENEI YISRAEL. His CHAI (life) was TOTALLY DEDICATED to ECHAD, yea, a life that is TOTALLY DEDICATED to G-d is indeed ONE with HIM. In other words, a CONSCIOUS UNION with PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is expressed as TOTAL DEDICATION to ECHAD. Those who have achieved this ASCENSION into a CONSCIOUS UNION with PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS are able to BESTOW it on others who are willing to RECEIVE. This potential to BESTOW is the result of ASCENSION out of the CONSCIOUSNESS of the CREATURE, which is DESIRE, into the CONSCIOUSNESS of the CREATOR, which is to BESTOWAL. Indeed this is what is IMPLIED by, the BLOOD ATONES for the SOUL, yea, it is indicative of a CHAI totally dedicated to ECHAD giving rise to the experience of ATONEMENT.

ACHAREI Part 5

Shalom, Shalom. We continue with our focus upon the PARASHAT ACHAREI by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “When he is done atoning for the Sanctuary, the Tent of Meeting, and the Altar, he shall bring the living he-goat near. Aaron shall lean his two hands upon the head of the living he-goat and confess upon it all the iniquities of the Children of Israel, and all their rebellious sins among all their sins, and place them upon the head of the he-goat, and send it with a designated man to the desert. The he-goat will bear upon itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land, and he should send the he-goat to the desert.” (Leviticus 16:20-22) In this passage of TORAH, HaShem gives instructions on the sending of the goat to Azazel to the desert as an aspect of the performance of the YOM KIPPUR service. At this point, it is essential to our understanding that the YOM KIPPUR service is designed to AID in the ASCENSION into a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. The CONSCIOUS UNION that we are making reference to is what is termed the ATONEMENT.

In the UNIVERSE of BECOMING, the ATONEMENT is perceived as the MANY BECOMING ONE. This is one of the MECHANICS that was given to the Jewish People to AID in the fulfillment of our general PURPOSE described as the MANY BECOMING ONE. The many BECOMING ONE occurs as the result of the Jewish People executing UNITY first and then all the rest of the FAMILIES on the earth bless themselves in this by following the ensample that we PROVIDE, yea, the WALLS of SEPARATION that are entertained in the MIND have to fall and form BRIDGES. Within the service of sending the he-goat to AZAZEL are hidden principles that will aid in the PURSUIT of UNITY.

Within the divers aspects of the YOM KIPPUR service performed by the KOHEN GADOL are REVELATIONS on how to ASCEND into the HIGHER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS where DIVISION will cease. The service commences with a RECOGNITION of the need to REPENT, REPENTING, and finally RESTORATION into a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. The question is, “How is the UNITY experienced by ONE who has an IMPERSONAL perspective of G-d?”

The service on YOM KIPPUR gives rise to the experience of MOVEMENT. The MOVEMENT deals with receiving FORGIVENESS, restoration to A CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD and finally the removing of IMPRESSIONS and DESIRES that are at the SUBCONSCIOUS LEVEL empowering one not to repeat the offense. It is the RIDDING of IMPRESSIONS and DESIRES that the SENDING of the he-goat to AZAZEL is alluding to.

The term AZAZEL is indicative of the place of EVIL FORCES. The he-goat that is left alive and sent away is revelatory of RIDDING Oneself of the cause of the sin, yea, YETZER HARA, that is, the evil inclination. Without the sending away of IMPRESSIONS and DESIRES, the potential to repeat the SIN remains. In other words, the goal is to FREE ONESELF from DESIRE. When DESIRE is concentrated upon, it becomes THOUGHT; when THOUGHT is CONCENTRATED upon, it becomes WORDS; when words are concentrated upon, it becomes ACTIONS; when actions are CONCENTRATE upon, it becomes TENDENCIES; when TENDENCIES are concentrated upon, it becomes HABITS; when HABITS are concentrated upon, it becomes a CHARACTER; when a CHARACTER is concentrated upon, it becomes a DESTINY. This discloses that DESIRE effects DESTINY, thus for ATONEMENT to occur, one must not just be forgiven and PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS be restored, but the desire must be removed to be like the CREATOR.

The CREATOR does not DESIRE but rather BESTOWS. Thus for the CREATURE to ASCEND out of DESIRE into BESTOWING, that is, to be AT-ONE-MENT with the CREATOR, we must rid ourselves of YETZER HARA (the evil inclination) which is symbolized in the sending away of the he-goat to AZAZEL. When the ascension occurs, the experience is that of ONENESS or UNITY. 

It is out of BESTOWING that diversity came. The diversity is in DESIRE, thus when DESIRE has departed, the ASCENSION into BESTOWING can occur where we are ONE with the CREATOR. Therefore we were instructed to send away the live he-goat to AZAZEL to be mindful that IMPRESSIONS and DESIRES are to be sent away to experience AT-ONE-MENT.

ACHAREI Part 4

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT ACHAREI by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “Aaron shall bring near his own sin offering bull, and provide atonement for himself and for his household.” (Leviticus 16:6) In this passage, the NAVI Moshe is instructed as to how the KOHEN GADOL is to unfold the AT-ONE-MENT on YOM KIPPUR. It is to commence with making the AT-ONE-MENT for himself and afterward to provide it for his MISHPACHAH. The question is, How are these instructions to be viewed in perspective of an IMPERSONAL G-d?

The implication of G-d as being IMPERSONAL is the recognition that the SOUL of one who is undergoing the human conscious experience is an INDIVIDUAL aspect of G-d. This INDIVIDUAL aspect of G-d may be referred to as a DIVINE SPARK. The DIVINE SPARK is ONE with G-d, that is, that which possesses all the QUALITIES of the DIVINE as a MICROISM of the MACROISM (ECHAD). Undergoing the process of the INDIVIDUALIZATION of the SOUL gave rise to the experience of IGNORANCE. The experience of IGNORANCE is the LOSS of the TRUTH of BEING. INDIVIDUALIZATION which gave rise to the LOSS of the TRUTH of BEING was the product of DESCENSION. This gave rise to the ONE becoming MANY. In order for the MANY to become ONE, an ASCENSION must occur rising into the IMPERSONAL ASPECT of G-d where He is referred to as ECHAD.   

The instructions were given in order to AID in the experience of ATONEMENT at both the PERSONAL and IMPERSONAL perception of G-d. To AID in the ATONEMENT of one who views G-d from a personal perspective, the instructions are to be followed LITERALLY. On the other hand, to AID in the ATONEMENT of one who views G-d from an IMPERSONAL perspective, the instructions are to be followed PRINCIPALLY, thus requiring a REVELATION of the MYSTERY.

In particular our ATTENTION is placed on the INSTRUCTIONS that disclose that the KOHEN GADOL is to perform ATONEMENT for himself first and then for those that are in his sphere of AUTHORITY. Without a doubt, this is INDICATIVE of the EMET (truth) that the ATONEMENT that is experienced by the High Priest is one in which there is a TRANSFERENCE of CONSCIOUSNESS. From the perspective of G-d being IMPERSONAL, we are all viewed as ONE BEING. From the idea that we are one BEING, we are able to TRANSFER CONSCIOUSNESS. Thus the ASCENSION of the KOHEN GADOL into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is able to be transferred to those who are in his SPHERE of AUTHORITY.
