Shooting Stars

Weather-permitting, tonight and tomorrow night should offer a great chance to see some celestial activity as the annual Perseid meteor shower hits its peak.

The celestial dance of the universe surrounding the earth is beyond what any mind can comprehend an aspects that reminds us of the Creator of Heaven and Earth–both the universe and the Creator are beyond comprehension of the human mind.

From the perspective of the earth, the celestial bodies are moving away; everyone agrees, science and ancient wisdom, that prior to creation the stars were compacted together in a very small area–perhaps the size of the our solar system.

According to the Cabala, before creation existed Hard Light existed–it was the evacuation of the Hard Light which caused space and time to be created leaving a trace, called a Hint, we know as starlight; it was the star that moved and not the light. Embedded in the light are celestial events choreographed to coincide with human development and historical happenings.

In our time both the heavens and the earth have shrunk to an almost explainable and predictable understanding of our environment which prohibits interpreting the heavens for messages from God–an ancient practice.

The Rabbis 2000 years ago instituted a blessing to be said when witnesses a shooting star by acknowledging the Ose/Maker; Maase/Action; Bereshith/Creation.
