YITRO Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT YITRO by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “Moses came and summoned the elders of the people, and put before them all these words that HaShem had commanded him. The entire people responded together, and said, Everything that HaShem has spoken we shall do.” (Exodus 19:7,8) This passage is a revelation of the effectiveness of SPIRITUAL PROTOCOL in making the ASCENSION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS.

ASCENSION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is one in which the personal relationship with G-d evolves into an impersonal relationship with ECHAD. It is the actualization of the realization of our ONENESS with G-d.

This ONENESS with ECHAD is apprehended through INTEGRAL EDUCATION. The INTEGRAL EDUCATION is destined to be experienced in a COMMUNITY of likeminded people whose GOAL is to BECOME ONE WITH G-d. The COMMUNITY is destined to be overseen by a TEACHER APPOINTED by ECHAD and a TEAM of INDIVIDUALS who meet the STANDARDS revealed in TORAH. Like MOSHE and the ELDERS who were able to minister to the ENTIRE PEOPLE almost immediately, we are instructed to EMPLOY like SPIRITUAL PROTOCOL that provides an atmosphere to receive the instruction, yea, that instruction is destined to aid in the ASCENSION from a personal relationship with G-d into the impersonal with ECHAD that will rise far above the SUFFERING EXPERIENCED IN THIS WORLD.

YITRO

Shalom, Shalom. We commence our focus upon the PARASHAT YITRO by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “It was on the next day that Moses sat to judge the people and the people stood by Moses from the morning until the evening. The father-in-law of Moses saw everything that he was doing to the people, and he said, What is this thing that you do to the people? Why do you sit alone with all the people standing by you from morning to evening? Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to seek God. When they have a matter, one come to me, and I judge between a man and his fellow and I make known the decrees of God and His teaching.” (Exodus 18:13,14)  

The goal of Creation is described as being the One becoming many and the many becoming One. This is the process that has been predetermined by ECHAD to create a CREATURE that is His image and likeness. It commences as ECHAD blowing Himself into the human conscious experience, giving rise to becoming many individuals. Then the ASCENSION of those many individual Souls into a CONSCIOUS REALIZATION and ACTUALIZATION of our ONENESS with ECHAD. Thus filling the UNIVERSE with His glory, i.e. the visible manifestation of ECHAD INVISIBLE QUALITIES.

Because of the LEVUSH (garment) that the SUPERNAL INDIVIDUALIZED SOUL is clothed with when entering the HUMAN CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE, there is a DESCENSION that is experienced whereas there is a LOSS of IDENTIFICATION and a CONCEALMENT of SUPERNAL QUALITIES. Thus It must undergo a correction that can only begin after the revelation of ONE’S true identification. The correction has been predetermined by ECHAD to be effected BEING PART OF A COMMUNITY that is TORAH BASED overseen by ONE WHO HAS BEEN APPOINTED BY G-d, that is, a TEACHER.

In order for the COMMUNITY to be effective, it must function under the law of LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF along with being under the AUTHORITY TERMED SPIRITUAL PROTOCOL. Our opening passage in the PARASHAT discloses the SCENARIO in which SPIRITUAL PROTOCOL was revealed to Moshe Rebeynu, yea, it was in the CHALLENGE of MINISTERING THE REVELATIONS OF THE LAW to multitudes that it was revealed.

The revelation disclosed, that in order to ADMINISTER to the multitudes, a SPIRITUAL PROTOCOL must be established. To do so, Moshe Rebeynu was to instruct individuals, who met certain qualifications, in the revelation of the LAW. Once the instruction was completed, the next step was that ECHAD would expand the SPIRIT that was upon Moshe and place It upon those he had trained. The combination of being of HIGH STANDARDS, RECEIVING THE INSTRUCTION and THE PLACING OF THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM upon THEM, they were empowered to effectively ADMINISTER SUPERNAL JUDGMENT that gives rise to peace as they ASCEND to the GOAL of the CREATOR.

BESHALACH Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT BESHALACH by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “Moses commanded (them) to travel, Israel from the Sea of Reeds and they went out to the Wilderness of Shur; they went for a three day period in the Wilderness, but they did not find water. They came to Marah, but they were not able to drink the waters of Marah because bitter they were, therefore one called its name Marah. The people complained against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? He cried out to HaShem, and HaShem showed him a tree; he threw (it) into the water and the water became sweet. There He established for (the) nation a decree and an ordinance, and there He tested them.” (Exodus 15:22-25) From the perspective of the HOLY OF HOLIES in MISHKAHN DAVID, this SCENARIO is a revelation of one of the MECHANICS to be employed in effecting the CORRECTION. The CORRECTION is the uncovering of Supernal Qualities that are CONCEALED by the LEVUSH (garment) once the SOUL ENTERS the human conscious experience.

To uncover a quality CONCEALED by the LEVUSH, ECHAD predetermined the process to be effected by TESTING. Before the TEST is employed, we are destined to receive revelation. It is the application of the revelation in response to the TEST (challenge) that gives rise to the MANIFESTATION of the SUPERNAL QUALITY that is CONCEALED and LATENT within. There is a SEASON of INSTRUCTIONS destined to be followed by a TIME of TESTING. This gives rise to the perfection of faith being transformed into KNOWLEDGE.

To break through the barrier of the five senses and ASCEND into SPIRITUALITY requires that ONE undergoes this process of instruction and testings in an environment comprised of TORAH, a TEACHER and a COMMUNITY. This principle is based upon the concept that to successfully undergo a test, it must be responded to by the teaching of TORAH of a SPIRITUAL TEACHER in a TORAH based COMMUNITY. The interaction within these components have been decreed by ECHAD, blessed be His NAME, to aid in the MANIFESTATION of His CONCEALED QUALITIES that are LATENT within.

BESHALACH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the title of the PORTION. The title of the PARASHAT is BESHALACH. The IVRI transliteration BESHALACH is interpreted “SENT OUT.” This term is employed to DESCRIBE Pharaoh’s reaction to the 10th plague, that is, the death of the firstborn. The plague is a manifestation of SUPERNAL JUDGMENT. The purpose of SUPERNAL JUDGMENT is to ensure that what ECHAD decrees will come to pass, yea, His word will not return to Him void but rather will accomplish that which He has predetermined to do.

This event is the result of the MANAGEMENT of the UPPER FORCES. In it ECHAD is both the IMPETUS behind the ACTIONS of Moshe Rebeynu and PHARAOH. This EMET is based upon the revelation that there is nothing but G-d. It is written, “I am HASHEM and there is no other; other then Me there is no God; I will gird you, though you did not know Me, in order that those from east and west would know that there is nothing besides Me; I am HASHEM, and there is no other. [I am the One] Who forms light and creates darkness; Who makes peace and creates evil; I am HASHEM, Maker of all these.” (Isaiah 45:5-7) In this passage of NEVIIM, it is disclosed that ECHAD is both the POWER behind GOOD and EVIL. In other words, there is no other power, yea, the belief in another power is a form of IDOLATRY. The events that occur are all under the management of ECHAD. The knowledge of this EMET (truth) discloses that there is another goal in MIND that the CREATOR has other than what is commonly believed, that is, that we are here for the purpose of choosing our ETERNAL DESTINY. What is commonly believed gives rise to the actions of PHARAOH earning the recompense of ETERNAL DESTRUCTION. No doubt this would be unfair considering that it was G-d who hardened his heart against Him. The SCENARIO has a greater IMPLICATION than this. The IMPLICATION is that ECHAD is disclosing to ALL of CREATION His JUDGMENT on what occurs between GOOD and EVIL, yea, ultimately ALL will become a MANIFESTATION of the SUPERNAL. DIVINE JUDGMENT is destined to be comprehended as the PROCESS of the UNIVERSE BECOMING ONE with ECHAD as IT undergoes the UNFOLDMENT and the INFOLDMENT, yea, ECHAD will not be denied, the SERAPHIM calls out one to another, “Holy, holy, holy is HASHEM MASTER OF LEGIONS: the whole world is filled with His glory.” (Isaiah 6:3) The glory of ECHAD occupies ALL SPACE and TIME, where He is CONCEALED, it has been predetermined that HE will be REVEALED. The process is SUPERNAL JUDGMENT.

BO

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the title of the PORTION. The title of the PARASHAT is “BO.” The IVRI transliteration “BO" means COME. The portion commences with the IDEA of ECHAD saying to Moshe Rebeynu to “COME TO PHARAOH.” No doubt this is an unusual way of G-d commanding His EVED (servant) to seek an audience with PHARAOH. It would seem that ECHAD would have employed the WORD “GO” rather then “COME.” To uncover this MYSTERY, let’s consider the following.

From the HIGHER PERSPECTIVE, that is, the HOLY of HOLIES of MISHKAHN DAVID, we who are many comprise ONE SOUL who is undergoing an EVOLUTION. The EVOLUTION is to REALIZE THE TRUTH OF OUR BEING and to MAXIMIZE the REALIZATION of that TRUTH into being. The EVOLUTION of the COLLECTIVE SOUL has been predetermined by ECHAD, and has been occurring according to the Jewish calendar over 5778 years. We are in the final stages of the CORPOREAL LEVEL having entered into the SPIRITUAL. This passage of TORAH discloses the PROCESS of this UNFOLDMENT.

The idea that Moshe was to COME to PHARAOH suggests that he was to APPROACH in a SUBMISSIVE WAY, yea, WISDOM teaches embracing ADVERSITY gives rise to MAXIMIZING ONE’S POTENTIAL. The opposition to ECHAD by PHARAOH will give rise to the MAXIMIZATION of MOSHE’S POTENTIAL. Therefore the combination of the TWO will engender the EVOLUTION of the COLLECTIVE SOUL. The quality of ECHAD that was hid in the COLLECTIVE SOUL was made MANIFEST through the PROCESS OCCURRING BETWEEN Moshe and PHARAOH.

It is the ACCELERATION of the PROCESS and responding thereof by the REVELATIONS of the SPIRIT that give rise to the ACCELERATION of the EVOLUTION in our EXPERIENCE. The ACCELERATION is one that leads to the end of ALL SUFFERING.

VA'EIRA Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT VA'EIRA by placing our ATTENTION upon the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “HaShem said to Moses, See I have made you a master over Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your spokesman. You shall speak everything that I shall command you, and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh that he should send the Children of Israel from his land.” (Exodus 7:1,2) In this passage contained in TORAH, it is disclosed that the realm of SPACE and TIME is under the MANAGEMENT of the ETERNAL. It is further revealed that the observance of the principle that SPACE and TIME is destined to be MANAGED by the ETERNAL is what gives rise to the exercising of MASTERY.

The exercise of MASTERY is the GENERAL PURPOSE of the SUPERNAL predetermined for those who undergo the HUMAN CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE. It is written, “And God said, Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. They shall rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and over the animal, the whole earth, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:26) In this passage of TORAH, the RULE that is spoken of that is given to those who are undergoing the human conscious experience, is what is being implied by the term MASTERY. MASTERY is the exercising of AUTHORITY OVER INANIMATE, VEGETATIVE and ANIMATE WORLDS by those who occupy the SPEAKING LEVEL. To exercise the authority over the LOWER WORLDS, those that are at the SPEAKING LEVEL must ascend into the HOLY of HOLIES, which is PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. It is PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS from whence all CREATED THINGS PROCEED FORTH FROM. The principle is that a CREATED THING is destined to be MANAGED by its CREATOR. When a CREATED THING is not under the MANAGEMENT of its CREATOR, ABUSE is destined to OCCUR. When ABUSE, which is the ABNORMAL USE of a THING OCCURS, DESTRUCTION is inevitable. No doubt the SUFFERING the is occurring in OLAM is an indicator that we are under WRONG MANAGEMENT.

As aforementioned, to effect the MANAGEMENT of the SUPERNAL, it is necessary to ASCEND out of SPACE and TIME, i.e. BODY CONSCIOUSNESS into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. To do so requires the SPIRIT of ECHAD. To connect to the SPIRIT requires coming into relationship with ONE who has been appointed. This EMET can be seen in the idea that AARON is able to speak the THINGS of ECHAD to PHARAOH because of his connection with MOSHE. Yea, MOSHE had been selected by ECHAD to MANIFEST HIS SPIRIT. It was the ASCENSION of MOSHE into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS that gave rise to being empowered over the INANIMATE, VEGETATIVE and ANIMATE WORLDS that led to the experience of YISRAEL’S LIBERATION. The thing that hath been is the thing that shall be, yea, our ASCENSION into the HIGHER LEVELS of CONSCIOUSNESS will be led by the SPIRIT of ECHAD being placed upon a man. This will engender the end of all SUFFERING and ENTRANCE into KNOWLEDGE, EXISTENCE and BLISS.

VA'EIRA

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is VA'EIRA. The IVRI transliteration VA'EIRA is employed in the text to describe ECHAD’S APPEARANCE.

ECHAD’S APPEARANCE may be described as HIS REVEALED STATE EXPERIENCED by those who undergo the human conscious experience. In the realm of contrast, the experience of ECHAD is described as being REVEALED or CONCEALED. The CONCEALED STATE of ECHAD is the result of employing the 5 senses to experience what is EXTERNAL. ECHAD is the power to see, hear, smell, taste and feel. The power to sense being married to the CORPOREAL becomes LIMITED in experience. The LIMITATION CONCEALS ECHAD. Thus to experience the CONCEALED STATE of ECHAD, one must ASCEND ABOVE the LIMITATION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, which is above SPACE and TIME. Since LIMITATION is experienced in CORPOREAL CONSCIOUSNESS, ascension into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS is impossible without the SUPERNAL. A desire must be developed within that is above CORPOREAL THINGS for the things of the SPIRIT. This development for the things of the SPIRIT is under the management of ECHAD.

The management works in concert with the GOAL of CREATION. The GOAL of CREATION is to both realize and actualize a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. As we undergo the PROCESS of the realization and actualization of ECHAD, it becomes our destiny to experience the unfolding of HIS NAME that will give rise to achieving the GOAL. Yea, for the Name is the revelation of the qualities of ECHAD that engender the ACCELERATION of the SUPERNAL PROCESS. Now is the TIME that He makes Himself KNOWN TO US AS ECHAD.

SHEMOT Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT SHEMOT by focusing our ATTENTION upon the following passage contained within the SIDRAH, it is written, “Moses was shepherding the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the minister of Midian; he guided the flock toward the (pasture in the) Wilderness, and he came to the Mountain of God to Horeb. There appeared an angel of HaShem to him in a flame of fire from within the thorn bush. He saw and indeed, the thorn bush was burning in the fire but the thorn bush was not consumed. Moses said (to himself), I will move (from here) now and I will look at the great spectacle that why doesn’t the thorn bush burn? HaShem saw that he was moving to look; and call to him did God from within the thorn bush and said, Moses, Moses, and he replied, Here I am.” (Exodus 3:1-4) This passage contained within TORAH is the commencement of the SCENARIO of the CALL of Moshe to his SUPERNAL PURPOSE. The visual given in the EPIPHANY was destined to be a guiding principle to aid Moshe in ITS unfoldment. No doubt this EMET rests upon the SPIRITUAL LAW, IMAGE CREATES DESIRE. The IMAGE of the THORN BUSH burning yet not consumed was the SUPERNAL PURPOSE that was given to Moshe Rebeynu. This was the process that he was to undergo before AM YISRAEL. To MANIFEST this before AM YISRAEL, the NAVI was given agents of TRANSFORMATION placed under his authority. Those agents were a STAFF that could transform into a SERPENT, CHANGING water into blood and the ability to place his hand within his bosom  changing the condition of his SKIN. The EMET, i.e. that not only was Moshe given that task of SELF TRANSFORMATION, but also the instruments to effect the CHANGE, was destined to aid in building CONFIDENCE in the children of YISRAEL that they are equipped to make the TRANSFORMATION into a NATION and ASCEND to the PROMISED LAND.

Without a doubt, the fire that was to be upon Moshe yet not consume HIM, REPRESENTED the EXTREME CHALLENGES that he was to undergo and yet not experience destruction. Like the THORN BUSH that burned with fire and yet not CONSUMED, the EXTREME CHALLENGES UNDERGONE by Moshe would cause YISRAEL to consider and receive the message of DELIVERANCE that would come forth from WITHIN. To be a light in OLAM is not the ceasing of CHALLENGE, but rather the opposite, yea, it is to BURN and yet not be consumed, but rather to be TRANSFORMED into a Messenger that gives rise to DELIVERANCE.

SHEMOT

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION upon the title thereof. The title of the PARASHAT is SHEMOT. The IVRI transliteration SHEMOT is indicative of the term “NAMES.” No doubt the commencement of this portion being focused upon NAMES suggest that there is something ESSENTIAL to the SUPERNAL DESIGNATION of an INDIVIDUAL.

This EMET, that is, that there is something ESSENTIAL about the SUPERNAL DESIGNATION of an INDIVIDUAL, is based upon the principle that there is only ONE SOUL that has been on a JOURNEY from one GENERATION to another. The purpose of the JOURNEY of the ONE SOUL is to ACTUALIZE the GOAL of CREATION. The GOAL of CREATION is that those who are undergoing the human conscious experience would manifest the IMAGE and lIKENESS of G-d. In other words, it is the ONE SOUL realizing and actualizing its CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD. This ONE SOUL, sometimes referred to as ADAM RISHON, is comprised of both HOST SOULS and INDIVIDUAL SOULS in It’s COMPOSITION. As suggested the ONE SOUL COMPRISED as many is DESTINED to MANIFEST as ECHAD.

The MANIFESTATION of ADAM RISHON in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of G-d is the product of the SOUL’S COMPOSITION undergoing the CORRECTION. The CORRECTION is the ACTION that gives rise to the return to our SUPERNAL NATURE. In the SUPERNAL nature, the HOST SOULS and INDIVIDUAL SOULS are QUALITIES of ECHAD. These QUALITIES MANIFEST as INDIVIDUAL PURPOSE. Each INDIVIDUAL purpose has a DESIGNATION that is NAMED. The NAME is the original INTENT of the SUPERNAL for the SOUL. Thus one that is undergoing the human conscious experience could possess two NAMES. Those names being the one given to them by ECHAD and the one given to them by their BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.

Because the ORIGINAL DESIGNATION given by ECHAD is in harmony with the QUALITIES (ORIGINAL INTENT) possessed by the SOUL, the NAME has the power to bring forth qualities that are hidden within the SOUL. On the other hand, when the name is not that of the ORIGINAL DESIGNATION, it can bring about the experience of CONFUSION.

The SUPERNAL DESIGNATION is like DNA. It draws forth the hidden potential giving rise to a greater MANIFESTATION of the IMAGE and LIKENESS of ECHAD that is latent within. Understanding your SUPERNAL DESIGNATION gives rise to identifying with the ORIGINAL INTENT that has been predetermined for the individual in the COLLECTIVE SOUL, yea, it is the comprehension of WHO YOU ARE in this JOURNEY of EVOLUTION.
