Mars and Halloween

The planet Mars becomes bright at magnitude 0.4 as it passes through the Beehive star cluster around midnight tonight.

Mars is famous in the Torah/Teaching corroborated by the Zohar-Book of Secret for being the previous world known as Tohu/Chaos and also the place where the Torah was delivered to the Jewish People Har Sinai/Mountain of Hatred called so because too much light came into Tohu and broke the world sending debris into what we know as the asteroid belt and leaving Mars scarred with deep ravines.

The life that had percolated over 974 generations according the Midrash-Book of Metaphor fell into the our world later to be called forth from the earth as detailed in the Torah/Teaching.

Mars came closest to earth August 27, 2003 then ever before or after; considering that Rome prays to Mars and this event happened three years after their 2000 year calendar ended and the fact that five years before on the precise day, August 27, 1998 (3 times 666) the earth was hit by a neutron star for five minutes that it should come as no surprise that two years and two days later on August 29, 2005 Katrina happened and Rome fell.

Now Mars and Rome are no more than a momentary masquerade.

Monstrous Public Cruelty

Security was unusually tight Thursday as four young men made their first court appearance in last weekend's two hour long public gang rape at a Richmond High School in Northern California.

The Torah teaches how the human being was the last to be created in the Six Days of Creation, all of the animals preceded the human being, but only man rapes–this hideous human trait takes on broader proportions when witnessed publicly by an unsympathetic crowd recording the event on their cell phones.

Perhaps there is so much digital stimulation of a violent nature and so much reporting real video in both sex and violence that a new norm has been established at the lower end of the economic pyramid? Whatever the answer, a human being devoid of compassion is worse than any animal who acts instinctively according to their nature.

It is the compassion that we show to one another which draws the spiritual light from the heavens down into the earth; without compassion God has no use for the earth–the human being is the deciding factor through the use of our free choice. This vicious attach on this 15 year old girl is somehow not as horrific as those who stood by and watched.

To certain events there is no Cabala.

Respecting the Dead

President Barack Obama has paid his respects to 18 Americans killed in Afghanistan, the first time he has honored the fallen in this way. The President stood solemnly saluting as the coffins pasts by.

In Hebrew the giving of one’s life for the sake of a higher cause is called Maser Nefesh/Giving Soul, a seemingly strange term since the soul lives, but it is the body which dies. The soul is eternal, the body is temporal but sacrifice is the ultimate action of the soul.

In the two Temples in Jerusalem which existed for nearly 1000 years animal sacrifices were continual upon the Altar of God through the day and burned all night as a sign to the people of the earth that it is our sacrifice from which God gets pleasure. Pleasure according to the Cabala is the highest of human attributes.

It is explained in the Torah how in the next world the soul stands while in this world the soul walks, meaning once the soul and with it the consciousness of the person separates from the body they can no longer effectuate their place in creation–the dead are laid to rest and as a result the soul stands in heaven.

These souls gave their all to their country; they are the constant sacrifice upon the altar of man.

The Fraud of Religion

A French court has convicted the Church of Scientology of fraud. Unlike the US, France has always refused to recognize Scientology as a religion, arguing that it is a purely commercial operation designed to make as much money as it can at the expense of often vulnerable victims.

Giving money to religion is antithetical to God and bad for creation. Rashi, the famous Torah commentary from 1000 years ago comments that loving God with all your might means using your money to support the poor, the widowed and the orphans–there was no religion to give to in those times.

Money is considered in the Torah to be the accumulated wealth of a person’s endeavors made from the totality of their abilities–therefore giving money to help the poor is a complete giving, called The Mitzvah/Commandment. Religion has exploited that commandment for their business.

The Talmud–Book of Law says the greatest charity is to make the poor self-sufficient; religion is the opposite, making people reliant on the religion like a required crutch. All religion are purely commercial operations designed to make as much money as they can at the expense of often vulnerable victims.

The Torah exclaims that the teachings will make you free; the Midrash-Book of Metaphor adds don’t read Cheresh/Free buy Choresh/Engraved–these words and concepts were meant to be engraved within the human to make right our actions–none of these words mean religion.

The Temple Mount

Sheikh Kamal Riyan called on Jews to “observe Jewish Law” and not visit the Temple Mount. Yesterday's disturbances on the Temple Mount appear to have been sparked by printed announcements by Jewish groups seeking to gain access to the holy area to pray.

This epicenter of disagreement between the Arab and Jewish People is imbecilic. The Dome of the Rock built a generation after Mohammed the Prophet brought the Koran to the world was erected as a remembrance to the Jewish Prophets Dovid and his son Shlomo who built the First Temple 1500 years before–for this reason the Dome of the Rock is not a Mosque.

Since the destruction 2000 years ago of the Second Temple the Rabbis decreed against the Jewish People entering the Temple Mount least they might, while in a state of impurity unintentionally step on the place called the Holies of Holies where was house the Ten Commandments.

What could be more impure that the strife of war brother against holy brother skewing the words of the prophets to obtain political gain?

The key to repairing this core issue is found in our two prophetic books the Torah and the Koran; when we can sit together with mutual respect for our books which is the foundation of our people–then there will be peace in the Middle East.

There is no word in Hebrew or in Arabic for the concept of Religion.

Crossed Up

The Bishop of Lichfield is calling on Christians to wear crosses in public to demonstrate they "aren't going to disappear quietly from the market place". Rev Jonathan Gledhill said Christians should wear the cross at work and not be intimidated.

The cross is an affront to the Jewish People and to all people; the idea that man is God contradicts the first of the Ten Commandments and the story of Jesus being nailed to a cross is a total fabrication–well known by the rabbis. The story of the cross according to a study done at Jerusalem University a few years back claims that hundreds of millions of Jewish People are not on the earth due to the story of the cross.

For 2000 years the lack evidence of Jesus being crucified has only mounted; not one historian or artifact has been unearthed since 300 years after his life when the Roman Catholic religion fabricated this malicious story.

The religious “marketplace” with which the Christians excel being the biggest holders of property in the world also have a myriad of Hebrew books imprisoned in the dark cellars of the Vatican.

In the Cabala the cross is a sign of chaos derived from the Breaking of the Vessels of the previous world, Mars where the three parts of the brain did not break, but the seven emotions which aligned one beneath the other did break.

The Cross is the biggest blood libel ever perpetrated against a people.

The Compassionate Republicans

With landmark health care votes expected in the coming weeks, Republicans are warning voters that the Democratic plan to expand coverage to millions who lack it will increase costs for the average American.

When the great elder Hillel upon whom the entire Talmud-Book of Law is predicated was asked to explain the Torah/Teacher while standing on one leg–meaning he should explain himself in brief, answered: the entire Torah comes down to loving your friend like you love yourself. What love is greater than the love we harbor for ourselves?

Included in this simple admonition is the loving the one’s soul, loving the Creator and certainly loving our neighbors and fellow citizens.

Love in Hebrew Ahava is made from the word Hav/Giving and the Aleph/I in the beginning–Ahava/Love is I Give. To deny basic needs to those whose only sin is not being part of a manufactured and manipulative normality is tyranny.

In the Cabala love is not considered an emotion but a pathway from the brain to the heart called Dat/Knowing. Knowing is the source of compassion–the highest human attribute and is comprised on Love and Fear. Those who know God fear to be cruel before the Creator, but those who do not know God fear everything else.

The Swine Flu

President Barack Obama has declared swine flu a national emergency.

From the perspective of the Cabala to have an epidemic related to swine is very significant. Swine are abhorred by both the Semitic People Arab and Jewish for spiritual reasons. In the Torah/Teaching swine are distinguished from all the other animals in the world having the outer sign of kosher cloven hoofs but not having the other sign of multiple stomachs–the sign of the hypocrite, kosher only on the outside.

The swine and the serpent are closely aligned in the Cabala, both being primordial beings emblematic to the transition between animal and human–both hairless, considered naked in the Torah. The human being along with the snake and the pig share the trait of nakedness.

Recently in America there has been the infiltration of huge exotic snakes from pet owners letting their pets free; American suddenly finds herself amid an epidemic of pig and snakes–what does this mean?

It is well known in the Torah as explained in the Cabala that a thing can only be fixed in its source. The 2000 year old Roman Empire is coming to an end here in America and all the pigs and snakes are coming out for a last stand.

Drug of Choice

Afghanistan has a monopoly on illegal opium production that has devastating global consequences, a UN report says. UN findings say an opium market worth $65,000,000,000 funds global terrorism, caters to 15 million addicts, and kills 100,000 people every year.

Germany first synthesized oxycodone in 1916 from opium-derived thebaine right around the time that prohibition led by Dow Chemical Company outlawed heroin and marijuana. Currently in the US there is a shortage of oxycodone since December '08 which has become the preferred substitute for heroin on our streets with many tens of thousands now addicted.

Nothing in creation is superfluous and everything is by design; the human being is not the product of amino acids haphazardly coming together to create life, but the crown of creation endowed with wisdom, the ability to articulate thoughts into words and freedom of choice. These wonderful attributes and abilities have their price in the sensitive nature of our being.

The Talmud–Book of Law explains in mediating the cost of injury that the price of pain is the amount one would pay for a narcotic to eliminate the pain–how unbearable life would be without pain killers. Fortunately for us God is full of mercy and gave to the world the poppy from which opium/heroin is derived.

Though God made Afghanistan to be to center of this trade, an indigenous wealth more portent than oil, it remains illegal from the whim of the drug companies. God gives while man taketh away.

Ditherless Dick

Former Vice President Dick Cheney accused President Obama of 'dithering' on Afghanistan.

It is hard to understand, when Bush dithered for eight years there was no protest from this hard and heartless Dick who did what he wanted dicking up the world for all those lousy years he held office.

In the Torah the dick is called by the name Mila/Thing; this Dick Thing tried to destroy the world, but the hurricane Katrina cut short his influence; now he scrambles ejaculating his venom in every direction.

In the Midrash-Book of Metaphor says the famous men 4000 years ago were guilty of ejaculating on trees and rocks, getting the world so polluted that it required a world-wide flood to get clean–Dick only needed Katrina. The famous flood of Noah wiped out the bodies but the soul returned in the form of Nimrod who built the Tower of Babel to war against God.

This bellicose Dick proud of his lack of compassion continues to stick himself where he is unwanted. The Talmud-Book of Law says that King Dovid once asked the Rabbis of his time how to make his dick smaller, they suggested not using it so much might help.

No question, less Dick could only be good for America.

Freedom of Choice

Reuters News Service–Talks that produced a draft deal presented on Wednesday to Iran and three world powers by the U.N. nuclear agency prove that Tehran is vulnerable to international pressure, a senior Israeli defense official said.

Such statements are essentially inflammatory and very bad for diplomacy which relies on the good intentions of both parties. By insisting that force is the determining power Israel is denying Iran the right to make a forthright choice–forced into a choice is not the same a making a choice.

The laws of the Torah/Teaching proscribe is different punishment for the pickpocket and the armed robber; the armed robber must return what he took and they pay double as a fine, but he pickpocket is beaten then fined many times the worth of what he stole because deception is worse then violence.

It says in the Torah that all the ways of the Torah are ways of peace; the Torah is also known as Torat Emet/Truth. Deception in the guise of subtle intimidation is a provocation. The more that Israel provokes their enemies the more Israel appears to be the tip of the sword of Rome entering into the Middle East; all the Middle East is Holy Land because it is the land where Avraham dwelt father to the Arab and Jewish People.

The divisiveness of Rome is at play in the government of Israel.

A Pig Without a Wig

The Vatican said Tuesday it has worked out a way for groups of Anglicans who are dissatisfied with their faith to join the Catholic Church.

The first Anglican who took that leap was the head of the the British Government Tony Blair after leaving office a few years ago; also, on the day he resigned as Prime Minister, he was appointed the official Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East on behalf of the United Nations, the European Union, the United States, and Russia.

The cross is an ancient symbol referring to the previous world of Tohu/Chaos identified in the Zohar-Book of Secret as the planet Mars. Only in the Catholic religion is the cross fitted with the suffering image of Jesus–a thing that never happened; the cross alone has resulted in the death of hundreds of millions of Jewish People over the last 2000 years, but the image of Jesus is nothing but a blatant affront to anyone Jewish.

The ancient position of Pontiff which predates Christianity by 1000 years set instruction for worship–Julius Ceasar was the last ancient Pontiff. It is the dogma of Rome that Tony Blair is carrying into the Middle East for the purpose of pitting the Jewish People against their Arab brethren.

Rome has two heads: church and state–as the church falls it reaches out a hand for support.

Stealing the Mind

The Colorado parents accused of concocting a publicity stunt by pretending that their young son had climbed aboard a homemade helium balloon will voluntarily surrender to authorities.

In Hebrew it is called Ganevat Dat/Stealing the Mind–the intention to trick people into thinking something is as it is not. Advertising falls into that category along with politics and religion.

In the Cabala this world is called Olam Hitgalia/Revealed World because life exists on the perimeter of our planet instead of within; the nature of life on our planet is to be revealed as hinted at in human obsession with nudity–nothing else in creation knows of nakedness.

Animals do not know shame, (with the exception of more advanced animals faced with dramatic issues of excrement) performing all animal actions in free view. In this revealed world human beings first hide their genitals and then their bodies–the basis for rights of privacy.

Because of our sensitivity to nakedness and our predilection to different style of clothes we have learned to be deceptive. The first human being recorded in the Torah/Teaching to be deceptive was Nimrod whose name means To Rebel–it was he who deceived the people of the earth to follow him and build the Tower of Babel on Mars.

Violence Begets Violence

Reporting from Cairo and Tehran - In a brazen attack on Iran's military elite, a suicide bomber today killed five Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders and 26 others at a gathering of tribal leaders.

It is a Jewish custom that when hearing of a person’s death to say, Barauch Dayan HaEmet/God is the True Judge–judgment passes from the earth to the heaven. While on the earth human judgment is skewed by issues of security and money but in heaven only truth passes the test.

It is said in the Talmud–Book of Law that Shamai, the venerated elder who argued with Hillel, was standing by the river when he saw a human skull float by; he said to the skull: you drown because you had caused another to drown and he who drown you will also be drown. Violence begets violence–this is true throughout the world.

There are gematria attached to this incident: 26 the Name of God, the five severities, the 31 kingdoms of Caanan–but, it seems cruel to reduce any life to a number. The Cabala explains how creation is an ever-expanding formula, but the human being is different because we are made of names and through the name the soul is conveyed.

In the Torah, one of the 613 Commandments to the Jewish People is not to rejoice in the defeat of your enemy.

State of Israel

The endorsement of the Goldstone report by the UN Human Rights Council on Friday will not postpone negotiations with the Palestinians.

There is no State of Israel in the Torah nor in the prophesies about the future; the State of Israel is the last in a long line of stops in our 2000 year journey known as the Exile of Rome.

After the Second Temple was destroyed the Jewish people split, the Sudoki who wanted a secular state went with Rome while those who followed the Rabbis went to live with our Arab brothers; eventually the Catholic Byzantines returned and again split the Jewish People by taking half to the north where we traveled from country to country following the books of Torah–when they would burn the books the community would leave.

Eventually we were welcomed only in Poland where hundreds of years later the Holocaust occurred. Israel is just another place to wait for Moshiach.

But, for the first time in 2000 years the majority of Jewish People lives in Eretz HaKodesah/Holy Land. God commanded the Jewish People to live with the Palestinians from the very beginning as it says in the Torah/Teaching when Avraham came to the land the Palestinians were already on the land.

Ultimately, there will be no state–just the Jewish and Palestinians living in peace, so we might as well begin now.

The Bubble of Life

NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer spacecraft has produced the first comprehensive sky map of our solar system. The new map reveals the heliosphere–a protective bubble that shields and protects our solar system from most of the dangerous cosmic radiation traveling through space.

In the Cabala the Name of God Elohim which is used during the Six Days of Creation is broken down into its component parts Aleh/These; Yom/Water. Also, the gematria of Elohim is 86 which is the same gematria as the word HaTeva/The Nature which can be rearranged to read HaBaya/Sunken. Sailors wanting to discard something overboard use the term, 86 it.

The concept of “sunken” relates to how the light is skewed by the water–freedom of choice could only be accomplished without hiding the light, but not completely. Not only is our solar system surround by a bubble but water has been detected throughout the universe.

It is a scientific law that nature abhors a vacuum and what astronomers are now finding out is that our universe is made up of bubbles. In the Torah, on the second of the Six Days of Creation God commands that a Rikia/Division be made between the water; a place for the stars.

The Torah is a book given the human being through the Jewish People outlining the process of creation by which can be understood how to stand and speak before the Creator who is all the time everywhere to everyone.

The Number Ten

The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 10,000 points Wednesday in a milestone of recovery.

The number ten is fundamental to creation coming from the Ten Sefirot–the cabalistic atom also known as the Tree of Life. According to the Cabala everything in creation from the atom to the universe is constructed in a common design revolving around ten. These ten primordial elements were taken from the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd described in the Cabala as light with infinite Sefirot–Distinctly Unique Illuminations. From the Ten Sefirot is constructed the infinity of creation.

The prevalence of ten found in the sun and the nine planets, the seven continents and the three oceans plus the ten fingers and toes of the human being is an indication of this primal number. Ten is indicative of the end returning to the beginning–the circle of life.

Pertaining to the stock market it would be beneficial to keep ten thousand as a cap to prevent greed and an overabundance of money at the expense of the people. Greed is only appropriate in the spiritual world where you can never get enough, but it is well known that a physical thing can not satiate a spiritual desire.

Money, the representation of things is the lowest of human endeavors and should be kept to a minimum.

World Hungry

The UN's annual report on global food security confirms that more than one billion people–a sixth of the world's population–are undernourished. The FAO says Asia and the Pacific has the largest number of hungry people-642 million-followed by Sub-Saharan Africa with 265 million.

The number six in Torah is symbolized by the letter Vav know as the letter of truth is also the sixth letter of the 22 letter Hebrew alphabet. The importance of six is reinforced by the statement in the Torah adding the letter Hey/5 which is used as a preface for The–The Sixth Day.

The world is presently in the thousand years of history related to the sixth day of creation which the Cabala connects to the power of sexuality called Yesod/Foundation, built on the world Sod/Secret. It is during this time 770 years into this final millennium before the thousand years of peace begins that sexuality is being defined.

The essential components of sexuality is pleasure and will the two chaotic powers of the soul called Keter/Crown; chaos is beyond reason which is one reason why poor people have many children besides the instinct to survive–the truth of six is: every human being has the right to eat and those with food have the responsibility to feed.

Though the Torah contains 613 Commandments, Ztadeka/Charity includes them all therefore the letter Hey/is added to make HaMitzvah/The Commandment.

Thirteen

According to the Washington Post, President Barack Obama is dispatching an additional 13,000 US troops to Afghanistan.

Afghanistan became a country after 1300 years into the Islam calendar; thirteen is also the half way point in the Mayan calendar which will be reached in winter equinox of 2012–in Hebrew 13 is the gematria, the numeric value of the word Echud/One.

Some suggest that it would have been better to have let the Russians with their brutal ways wipe out the ancient tribal peoples who cling to a strictly vicious interpretation of the Koran, but the recurrence of the number 13 tells a different story.

The purpose of the human being is to bring light into the world and make the world a better place–it is a common human value. Our commonality is a sign from the Creator of Heaven and Earth that in essence we are Echud/One and as the world evolves into the light it is important to remember that our purpose is to turn the darkness into light–not to try to destroy what is dark.

It is for this reason that the Jewish People were commanded in the Torah to live together with the ancient Palestinians a fierce people, the first to forge weapons out of iron.

Out of the darkness comes the greatest light.

Bob Does Bezerkeley

Bob Dylan returned to Berkeley, California where he played one of his first electric shows with the Hawks more than four decades ago.

The Rambam compiler of Jewish Law 1000 years ago says that if a person wants to become wise they should chose a profession they like and do it for many years–wisdom will come. The meticulous arranging of music and his steadfast devotion to his songs which he articulated in his special manner was a memorable feast.

In the time of the Second Temple the generations leading up to composing of the Talmud-Book of Law written 2000 years ago there were always two leaders of the people; one leader was close to the Rabbis and the other was close to the people–one was smart and the other clever.

American also has two leaders, one who is brilliant in his mind and actions, our beloved president and the other is Bob who for fifty years has captivated our hearts. The Cabala explains how the head is connected to the heart through the vehicle of the third eye called Dot/Knowing; knowing is the experience of life, to stand at the feet of a master and marvel.

At the end of the concert it seemed as if Bob wanted to say something, but we could not stop applauding so he turned and left.

A Gay Party

Thousands of gay and lesbian activists converged Sunday for a march from the White House to the Capitol, demanding that President Barack Obama keep his promises to push for civil rights protections from the federal government.

The Torah whose name is derived from Mora/Teacher has been renamed Testament by those who proclaim homosexuality an abomination before God–both are wrong. The Torah is not a testament that can not be questioned because the Torah is not based in dogma.

The Laws of the Torah are specifically designed to correspond to the 613 Commandments given to the Jewish People 3700 years ago; the peoples of the world can learn from these commandments and accompanying laws, but they are not obligated–and even within Torah, which is the strictest of laws, homosexuality is only prohibited from men and not woman.

Sexuality, beyond the pleasure aspect, is a deep communication between two beings inspired by love. In the Talmud-Book of Law is written that if honey was put into the spice burned daily in the Temple in Jerusalem the smell would be so pungent no one could stand up; so they ask: why don’t we put honey in the spices? The Rabbis answer, because God said, no.

The Cabala teaches that the inner part of the human body is made of 613 components and if one would open that should be closed or if one would close that should be open–the body would die.

Peace Prize

NYT–The choice of Barack Obama on Friday as the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, less than nine months into his eventful presidency, was an unexpected honor that elicited praise and puzzlement around the globe.

The Cabala describes two types of light called Mali/Filling and Sovev/Surrounding; the light that fills is felt and seen, but the light that surrounds has a effect from afar–it is the surrounding light which gives us hope.

People criticize the choice of President Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize because he has yet to do anything but promise hope; they do not recognize the great light this man has brought into the world by ascending to the presidency of America–when the promise of hope became a reality.

As we enter the decade of 70 in the Hebrew calendar denoted by the letter Ayin/Eye with the gematria of the year 5770 that of The House of Moshiach can be understood that the human being, the Hebrew calendar begins from the first human being on planet earth, that each of the 6 billion human beings has become vessel for Moshiach. The Talmud-Book of Law notes that God will dwell within each of them–the Cabala adds in each person.

Some are seeing the new light while other must adjust their vision. God bless our president.

Final Holiday

Simchat Torah means “Rejoicing in the Torah,” it is the time when the Torah both ends and begins again–a circle that never ends.

The three weeks of holidays ends tonight with the final celebration which brings the New Year down to the ground through dancing. After the prayers of Rosh HaShana/New Year, the fasting and repentance of Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement comprising the ten days of Malchut/Royalty followed by four days representing the YHVH the Four Letter Name of God leading to the seven days of Succot when the 70 nations of the world make peace with Yisroel/Israel comes the final holiday–Shemini Atzerit/Eight Conclusion.

Eight in Torah signifies infinity; it is why at the end of the seventh day, the Shabbot, when approaching the eight reverts back to the beginning thus starting the new week. Eight also relates to the surrounding aspect known in Cabala as Keter/Crown representing Will and Pleasure the two essences of the soul.

The 22 days of holidays and celebration are related to the the 22 letters of the Hebrew language which were given to Yaakov/Yisroel–Israel whose name can be rearranged to read Rosh Li/My Head; it is in the head where the sperm is born through the third eye attached to the soul–The Cabala explains how on the this eight day a drop of celestial sperm comes into the world to conceive the New Year.

The chromosome is also made of 22.

More War

After two weeks of mounting tension and sporadic clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinian protesters, a showdown is expected when Friday prayers are called on the Temple Mount at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem's old city.

The First Temple built by Dovid and Shlomo 3000 years ago on the Temple Mount lasted 410 years before destroyed by Nebecanezar of Babylon; the Temple was built to be a place of peace where all nations could assemble before God; tomorrow is the last of the seven days of Succot during which 70 added sacrifices happened in the Temple representing the 70 nations of the world.

The sacrifices were not some barbaric exercise in ignorance, but a real gesture of understanding to the Creator that the intention of the entire world is to subjugate our animal nature and sacrifice ourselves to making creation a better place for all.

The huge stone altar on which the sacrifices took place had to be hewn without the use metal because metal is the implement of war. Shlomo who was very wised showed to builders a worm that was able to cleave the stone–it is called the Shamir. The mammoth stones of the Temple wall were each set back one inch so the wall would not appear to be falling and thus cause sudden terror.

Tomorrow, the last day of Succot is known as HaShana Raba/Great Salvation. May it be so!

A Celestial Mirror

A colossal dust ring has been discovered encircling Saturn, extending some 13 million km into space.

The Zohar-Book of Secret identifies Saturn and Uranus the next planet out as two sides of a mirror, one that shins and one that does not shine–of the nine planets only these two have rings. The Zohar calls Saturn Espaklia Nehera/shinning Mirror and calls Uranus Espaklia Lo Nehera/Mirror Without a Shine.

Almost four thousand years ago Yaakov (Yisroel) looked into the Shinning Mirror and saw that there was food in Egypt according to the Midrash-Book of Metaphor. The Cabala says says prophesy is rooted in these two planets. The Zohar-Book of Secret also says Saturn is wider than any other planet even though Jupiter is larger.

The Zohar-Book of Secret hints at another planet just beyond the solar system as large as Saturn’s furthest ring; astronomers have detected an outer pull to the solar system and have theorized a large planet which they term Planet X.

Like science the Torah is full of information as to the incredible vastness and beautiful design of creation; at every turn the Creator is there manifesting out of the ten components of creation something completely new and unique.

The secrets of the Torah are as endless as creation.

Apologize for What?

David Letterman's apology to his wife and staff members means another big night in the Nielsen ratings for the late-night talk-show host, the Associated Press reports.

The disparity between men and women is addressed in the Torah through the laws of marriage. A man is commanded to marry and have children, but a woman is not commanded and only does so for other reasons like love, security or in our time convenience. Both man and woman once married are prohibited from being sexual with a male; the law of the Torah proscribes that once a woman is married she can no longer be with another man–Jewish men are in perpetuity prohibited from other men. Both man and woman are allowed other women; the man can have more than one wife and the woman is allowed to be sexual with other woman–thats how life was back before the destruction of the First Temple 2600 years ago.

So what did David Letterman do wrong? He cheated, lied and hid the truth.

The basic laws in the Torah favor women, for example a man can only be with his wife when she wants and a man is commanded to satisfy his wife and not the other way around.

Relationships are based on honesty–it is more important the how than the what.

Nobel Prize

This year's Nobel prize for medicine goes to three US-based researchers who discovered how the body protects the chromosomes housing vital genetic code.

The chromosome is found in pairs of 22 regular parts plus the 23rd, known as the sex component because it determines the sex of the person; we all begin as female with two X chromosomes one turning later to Y in the male.

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet which are considered to be the building blocks of creation as described in the Cabala; the idea that “God spoke and the world was” is a way of remembering that God has no pieces yet created creation in tens which is directly related to the 22 through virtue of the ten components of male and female plus an essence for each.

It is known in the Cabala that sex did not exist in the previous world called Tohu/Chaos because there was complete independence, only in our world called Tikun/Fixing is sexuality necessary–the 23rd added chromosome.

It is also known that the Six Days of Creation correspond to the subsequent 6000 years of which we have just begun 5770; the sixth day in the Cabala is related to the sefira of Yesod/Secret–it is why all the secrets are coming out now.

The Life Line

Human umbilical cord blood cells may be far more versatile than previous research has indicated as a convenient source for generating stem cells with a theoretically limitless potential.

The Torah insists that life begins at 41 days and therefore the placenta which is grown during the first 40 days from conception is not considered life. This the answer to the abortion issue.

The Cabala describes creation as a precise schematic replicated into infinite forms based on what is known as the Tree of Life–the Ten Sefirot, the cabalistic atom. It is why we live in a solar system of a sun and nine planets, and why the earth has three oceans and seven land masses; not surprisingly the human being is also broken down into ten components: the triangle of the head, the triangle of body and the triangle of the legs–the mouth which is the portal of articulated speech defines our specie beyond the animal.

The human body is placed in the ground after death and when the flesh dissolves, a sign that the soul has forgotten the memories of life, there is left only the skeleton which precisely resembles the YHVH the Four Letter Name of God source to the Tree of Life.

To find the miracle of medicine we need look no further than the miracle of the body.

The Unique Individual

England's National Health Service released the first study of autism in the general adult population. The findings confirm the intuitive assumption: that autism is just as common in adults as it is in children; roughly 1 in 100 adults are on that spectrum.

Interestingly, that is the same statistic as the number of people held in American jails. There is no bell curve in the Torah because each individual is considered completely unique as reflected by the fingerprints–a physical manifestation of a spiritual concept. Society is built around the bell curve letting those at the extremities fall off the edge.

It says in the Torah every person has their time and their place, the law proscribes the amount of area, Daled Amot/Four Arm Lengths the area required to bury the corpse, which is parameter around each living person everywhere we go.

The Cabala extends the uniqueness of the individual to the soul which belongs to a family of souls extended into infinity where the OreAinSof/LightWithEnd could obliterate all creation in a single stroke. In truth every element of creation is unique like each snowflake is unique because the Creator is required to create creation each moment or else all creation would go back to the primordial soup of the OreAinSof/LightWithEnd–for the nature of creation is not to be created.

Society’s expedience is at the rotten core of the beautiful apple from the Tree of Life.

The Seven Day Cloud

Sukkot, the week-long Jewish holiday which begins at sundown this Friday, October 2, 2009, remembers how our ancestors lived in the clouds as they made the 40 year journey from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land.

The cloud itself was in seven parts: the four sides of the box surrounding the people, floor, ceiling and one cloud in front that led the way through the wilderness. On each night of Sukkot we are visited by one of the Seven Shepherds called the Espisim: the Three Fathers, Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov (Yisrael), Yoseph, Moshe, Aaron and Dovid.

According to the Cabala, Dovid, the seventh of the Seven Shepherds represents the cloud which led because it is separated from the other six in the same way in which the six days of the week are separated from the seventh day of the week called the Shabbot/Rest. It is during the Shabbot that Royalty is revealed in the world through the Shakina, the feminine presence of the Creator that hovered over creation and gives us comfort.

It is significant when the Shabbot and a holiday happens on the same day because the two spiritual lights of the Shabbot and the holiday intertwine to make a new and more powerful light replacing the need for, in this case, the taking of the Lulav and Etrog as will be done in the subsequent six days of Sukkot.

The Measure of a Man

After 15 years of rumors, researchers in the U.S. and Ethiopia on Thursday made public fossils from a 4.4-million-year-old human forebear they say reveals that our earliest ancestors were more modern than scholars assumed and deepens the evolutionary gulf separating humankind from today's apes and chimpanzees.

Like the Big Bang theory, evolution from the primates is disturbing to the human soul because both theories contend that human existence and freedom of choice are mere accidents of nature derived over millions of years; though there is no scientific confirmation just huge unexplainable gaps of time still these theories persist. Now, completely contradictory hard evidence.

How does the Torah explain this phenomenon of human skeletons million of years old unrelated to the chimpanzee from whom which the human is supposed to have evolved?

A few hundred years after the flood of Noah from planet Mars as described in the Zohar-Book of Secret the Tower of Babel was erected; through his adroit use of the language of creation Nimrod was able to command the angels and soon built a structure that could be seen from the earth as explained in the Midrash-Book of Metaphor. The Talmud-Book of Law states that God intervened in the building destroying the upper third of the tower with fire but the lower third fell to the earth and the bodies of the people within that third of the Tower turned into ape-like creatures.

Perhaps the trip caused their bodies to appear to be millions of years old.
