Existentialism Exhumed

January 31, 2010

France has been celebrating the life and works of writer and philosopher Albert Camus by the suggestion of moving his body. Camus died 50 years ago this month killed in a freak automobile accident in January 1960 at the age of 46

Camus was a great existential thinker and writer of his time; his accident which ended his life was much like the philosophy he beautifully articulated–existentialism might be thought of as total freedom of choice amid a godless chaos.

The number 45 which in Hebrew spells the word Mah/What is also the gematria of Adom/Human. The number 45 is directly related to the YHVH from where is derived our ability to cognition and developed thought patterns as it says in the Torah Mah Mitbirar/What Purifies. What the existentialists fail to discern is the ability of God to make a world free to chose but within a framework of time and action.

Mah/What is the ability to question our environment and our beliefs–a faculty animals lack. Through questioning comes clarification. Part of questioning is the distinct possibility, indeed probability, that we are wrong–the great ones are uninhabited by this possibility.

The Talmud-Book of Law is full of wrong suppositions meant to illustrate the question. The Cabala is the cosmology of creation based in the Zohar-Book of Secret meant to elucidate God’s plan inherent within creation.

Eating Dogs and Cats

China plans to end thousands of years of culinary tradition by taking dogs and cat meat off its menu. A law being drafted against animal abuse—China's first—calls for the country's thousands of dog butchers and dog meat restaurants to be closed down.

Perek Shira is a book of songs where creation sings to God from a portion of the 24 books in Torah. For example the heavens sing a sentence from the Tihilim/Psalms, The heavens relate the respect of God and the work of Your hands is told to the Rachiam/Orbits.

After going through the the elements, the nature, the animals of the earth and the birds in the sky, the fly and the whale each with their special wisdom, Perek Shira ends with the cat and the dog. The cat says, All the souls praise God, Halaluya; the dog says, Come and bow down, prostrate yourself on your knees before God who made us.

Cats and dogs seems to be the closest to the human being, cats resembling woman purring seductively while men like dogs are always trying to get a leg up. In the west people live with their dogs and cats in the house, give them names medical care and mourn their death; in the east they eat them.

These two extremes of east and west both needs to moderate; according to the Cabala all life is holy, but the human being takes precedent.

The Poverty of the Poor

Poverty grew at twice the rate of U.S. population growth from 2000–2008, and now encompasses 39.1 million over ten percent of Americans.

Why is it that our hearts pour out for the victims of Haiti while we turn a blind eye to the poverty in our own country? In Haiti where the economic system has collapsed people have reverted to there original way of life–sharing.

Disaster often brings out the best in people and in governments, but why not all the time? The decrees in the Torah from God: be constantly vigilant concerning the poor–leaving the corners of the fields for the poor, placing a tax to raise revenue for the poor and caring for the widow and orphans.

The Cabala sees each human being in the world as being themselves a small world with good and bad traits-the metaphoric wealthy and the poor. It is our fashion of government which instigates guilt in the populous for indiscriminately helping the poor. They call it the protestant ethic: no work no food.

On a grander scale every human being is worthy before God; eating and shelter are human rights. There is nothing holy about capitalism, communism or socialism, but there is something holy about the human being.

Gone Awry

J.D. Salinger, the legendary author of The Catcher in the Rye has died. He was 91.

J.D. Salinger had a distinctive sense of humor gained from a childhood experience when his father was approach by the FBI; the senior Salinger was a cheese merchant and was being investigated for the fidelity of his cheese–accused of having counterfeit holes in his swiss cheese.

J.D. Salinger saw the world for what it was and pulled no punches. Just as Henry Miller was making the word Fuck into a literary term so too was J.D. Salinger making the pernicious saying of God D-mn into a philosophical statement about where the world was after two world wars.

Many schools throughout the country ban The Catcher in the Rye as they do Henry Miller. In the Talmud-Book of Law in the beginning of the tractate of Passover is written a long explanation of the importance of modesty of speech, but in the end for the sake of clarity and truth it is better to be blunt and explicit.

The Cabala explains how the higher level of human experience is expressed through writing; the highest level of writing is engraving–that which is engraved all the way through is highest of the highest.

Science Discovers Brain

The neuropsychological evidence shows that the right hemisphere pays wide-open attention to the world, seeing the whole, whereas the left hemisphere is adept at focusing on a detail.

The Cabala has detailed information about these two hemispheres of the brain called Mother and Father Never Separated; it is the male aspect of seeing which is incorporated into the right hemisphere where thoughts are comprehended at one time like a vast panorama before the mind’s eye. The contrary is true about the left hemisphere of the brain which like hearing excels in incremental thinking.

The reason why the two hemispheres of the brain are called Father and Mother is because they conceive and give birth to emotions. The two hemispheres of the brain correspond to the first two letters of the Name YHVH–the Yud/10 is the male letter and Hey/5 is the female letter. The Vav/6 correlates to the six emotions portrayed in the two triangles of the body: torso and two arms, two legs and the sex.

The final Hey/5 in the Name YHVH represents the power of speech. The letter Hey is composed of three lines representing thought, speech and action. Thought and emotions are connected but the line corresponding to action is separate from the other two lines–easy to think and feel, but hard to do.

The Tool Maker

January 26, 2010

ScienceDaily—A new study using motion sensitive video cameras has revealed how New Caledonian crows use tools in the wild.

Academia defines the human being as tool maker, proposing the difference between the human being and the animal rests in our innovative ways of dealing with our environment. Perhaps it is not the animal learning from the human being, but the human who is learning from the animal.

According to the Torah/Teaching the human being differs from the animal in our ability to articulate ideas into spoken language; this unique ability is the crux of our technological advances, but it is not the reason. Purposeless progress is not the point of creation

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor likens God feeding the newborn ravens with flies who feed on their waste, since ravens have a cruel nature and leave their young, to God showing compassion for the children of cruel parents.

The Cabala teaches the animal like the angels are directly connected to God while the human being is the furthest from God thus freedom of choice. It is the human being who needs the animal and not the other way around.

Tools are a matter of rote learning whereas speaking indicates thinking in ideas.

Legal Age

More than half of black males between the ages of 16 and 19 are unemployed, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

One of the problems to our system of government is the arbitrary setting of dates like grown up at 18, able to drink at 21 or be president at 45. Each number has a logical significance, but life is so rarely logical.

The Zohar-Book of Secret says a person is liable for their actions from the age of 13 in this world but are not judged in the spirit world until the age of 20. It would be wise for our country to adopt such a standard.

The laws of the Torah predicate adulthood according to puberty which occurs around the age of thirteen which makes sense since freedom of choice happens when one is being pulled in different directions at the same time. If people were considered liable from the age of 13 then they would more easily fit into the social scheme.

Our technological, mechanized society enacts laws of expediency instead of looking out for the best interests of the people. The Laws of the Torah are meant to respect the person, the earth and the Creator. All the ways of Torah are peace.

The Ship of State

Mr. Obama prepares to deliver his State of the Union address on Wednesday and lay out his initiatives for the second year of his presidency.

The president often uses the metaphor of a ship at sea when referring to the time it takes to turn and change course; the sixtieth vote in the senate allowed him to turned the wheel and begin a movement–now the wheel is being turned the other direction to stabilize the ship.

Metaphors are helpful inventions meant to augment ideas, but according to the Torah all of life is a metaphor. In our times, the End of Days, just prior to entering the thousand years of Peace is when the 6000 years of man enter into the culminating 1000 years of woman.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor, one of the four levels of learning in the Torah does not take events out of there simple meaning but rather points the metaphoric meaning implicit in the Torah. The only thing higher than metaphor is the Zohar-Book of Secret from where the explanations of Moshiach/Messiah are derived.

The Cabala teaches how the word Moshiach is derived from the word Meshic/Pouring of Oil. The promise of Moshiach is a new light likened to oil that raises above water.

Law of the Land

The United States Supreme Court ruled that the federal government may not ban political spending by corporations or unions in candidate elections.

One of the seven commandments given to Noah whose three sons populated the world as seen in the three colors of human being: black, white and yellow is to make courts of law to administer justice. The Torah says to the Jewish People concerning the exile, the law of the land is also your law.

But, at some point law became dictate and courts only carried out the dictates without power to exercise judicial discretion. These dictates are legislative acts approved by a congress bought with political bribes from big corporations who have been given the right of an individual–the crux of this problem.

The makings of an individual are rooted in freedom of choice also known as free will. Laws that govern people are suppose to insure all wills within a framework–corporations lack free choice.

The Cabala explains that free choice is rooted in the most primal distinction concerning creation–God or no God. Those who believe in God understand that every atom is being created moment by moment by God who is transfused throughout creation; the others believe in a big bang.

Prayer Bomb

US Air flight from New York to Kentucky was diverted to Philadelphia when a passenger after takeoff removed his Tefillin a religious item used by observant Jewish men.

The Jewish people comprise only one half of a percent of the world population so it is understandable Jewish customs are unfamiliar to the general populous, but the truth is Tefillin is a bomb–a bomb of spiritual light. The Tefillin are made out of leather painted black–a small box of leather with scrolls within is placed on the head and one on the upper arm during morning prayer to effectuate one’s mind and heart.

The Cabala explains how it is that the Will of God as proscribed in the Torah is manifested in this world through physical commandments; will is the outer expression of essence, but pleasure is the inner reality. When a person fulfills a commandment God is happy.

The Pleasure of God’s happiness filters through creation changing the darkness into light. In our physical world bombs turn the light into darkness, but God’s bombs are bombs of light that transmute the darkness into light.

Within the next two hundred years the world will be transformed from darkness into light then the form of things will become more important than their substance.

Normally Abnormal

ScienceDaily–People who inherit a specific form of a gene that puts them on a road to schizophrenia and autism may be protected against some forms of cancer.

The mechanization of society championed by the secular world requires the human being to be modeled to the machine instead of the other way around. It is this kind of continual behavior which fuels the carcinogenic material inherent in such jobs.

Those with genetic mental disorders are generally excluded because of their bizarre behavior in the workplace. But, now scientists discover there is a natural selection happening here sickening those easily adaptable to mechanized culture while preserving those deemed mentally inadequate–ironic.

The Torah segregates life into four categories: the inanimate, growing, animal life and speakers–the human being. It is our ability to communicate complex ideas through articulated thoughts that makes us human–elevated beyond a mere animal. Normality is not defined by our ability to meld to the machine, but to be individuals.

Some people have an instinctive nature of individual strength often displayed as mental illness. Drug addiction, prostitution, thieving and violence can all be traced to people unable to bow to the machine.

All of the cabalists over the last 2000 years from the Rashbi to the Bal Shem Tov have extolled the simple and the lives they lead, said to the holiest before God.

Message from Heaven

Scott Brown, a little-known Republican state senator rode to an extraordinary upset victory in the overwhelmingly Democratic state of Massachusetts.

Precisely one year from becoming President, Mr. Obama and the Democratic Party have taken a blow losing the seat held by Ted Kennedy–liberal lion of the Senate whose focus on health care was famous. On the surface the vote was a message from the people wanting to blunt the filibuster majority in the Senate, but the coincidence of time and circumstance can not be overlooked.

God is neither Democrat or Republican; God’s part in the political process is to keep it going by creating each atom every moment in the process of creation–but, God is King who made decrees for the human being to live by, like taking care of the poor, the feeble and the children–nothing about health care.

The problem with politics is its agenda which proposes economics before compassion; the reason the government is pushing for universal health care is because of the economic hardships imposed by not having universal care–not to have a healthier society.

The Torah espouses the opposite position, the human being is primary. The Cabala sees life as the soul come into the body to rectify the instinct for physical comforts by turning the human animal towards the Creator.

Tower of Babel

Science Daily–Scientists working in Spain say they've got evidence of some pretty sophisticated Neanderthal inventions — body ornaments and cosmetics.

The Midrash–Book of Mataphor explains how the Tower of Babel was destroyed in three different ways because there were three different intentions in building the Tower. The top of the tower burnt and some of the people died because they wanted to do war with God; some were in the Tower to make money by manipulating what was not true and the third were there for the discovery.

The Zohar–Book of Secret relates how the Tower of Babel was built on Mars. Those who waged war against God died; those who made money were left without bodies and those who went for the discovery reverted into ape-like creatures who fell to the earth.

These three categories still exist in our time in the form of government, religion and science–the three pillars of secular society. Government excludes God to appear legitimate, religion gives God gender and form while science proves there is no God, just creation.

The Torah teaches that if physical and spiritual creation could be rolled into a ball and thrown into the ocean of God it would not be comparable to a single drop of water before the Creator who has no gender or form.

Four Triumphs

MINNEAPOLIS: Minnesota Vikings quarterback number four Brett Favre threw four touchdowns in his fortieth year as a quarterback.

The number four is as predominant in the spirit world as it is in our world made of four elements in four directions sporting four different types of life: inanimate, growing, moving and speaking. These physical manifestations depicted in fours is related to the four spirit worlds that defuse and attenuate the Light of God until it can enter into our physical world.

Forty is also a significant number being there were forty days and nights of flood, forty years wandering in the Wilderness, forty years it takes to understand the words of your teacher. The letter Mem/40 looks like a block and is the only letter which is not spelled out using other letters, the source of the confine to infinity–forty forever.

Four is predominant in creation because God’s Name is written with four letters–YHVH; these four letters can be rearranged to read the three tenses indicating a presence beyond time and space. These same four letter when written vertically make the stick image of a human being.

Purple, the color of the Minnesota Vikings uniforms, is the combination of all color in the same way the YHVH is the source of all creation. Go Vikings!

Love Thy Enemy

TELEGRAPH.CO.UK: The ethnic group at the heart of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan may have descended from their Jewish enemy according to researchers in India who believe Pashtuns could be one of the ten "Lost Tribes of Israel" descended 3000 years ago.

The Talmud-Book of Law explains the Second Temple was destroyed because there was hatred amid the last two tribes of the Jewish People against one another–hatred for no reason. The destruction of the the Temple precipitated the historical time called the Dark Ages. Rome had invaded the Middle East. There was no animosity between Arab and Jewish.

This calamity, the destruction of the Temple, would be paid out over the next 2000 years through what is known as Ahavat Kinom/Free Love to make up for the Sinut Kinom/Free Hatred practiced during the time of the Temple. Love in Hebrew Ahava is made from the root Hav/Give; free love is giving without reason.

It is hard to be contrary without hating–the guard against hatred is respect. Dovid King of Israel 3000 years ago was famous for saying, hate the action but not the person–the same goes for love.

In the end we are one human being–the best of us and the worse of us. Each of us needs to spend our time fixing what is wrong in ourselves because of the repercussion throughout creation.

The Evolution of Man

Science Daily: Contrary to a widely held scientific theory that the mammalian Y chromosome is slowly decaying or stagnating, new evidence suggests the Y is actually evolving quite rapidly through continuous, wholesale renovation.

The Cababla, in particular the Sefer Gilgulim/Book of Reincarnations makes the point that the male soul evolves in a different way from the female soul as depicted in geometric terms as a line indicating man and the woman the form of a circle. The Cabala teaches that woman was completed in the previous world called Tohu/Chaos and came into this world only to help man evolve as is seen in the Y chromosome.

It is further explained how man symbolizes the world of Tikun/Fixing made from the broken shards in the making of woman and fell into the earth carried by a stream of water the seeds of life. It is here on earth where the male soul through the seed of man, the Y chromosome, has 6000 years to get it straight–only 230 years left, better hurry.

The man, likened to a line, has a destination point–to become complete. The secular world sees time as a line without destination and the manmade system beneath which we labor is an endless, meaningless progress.

The Torah teaches that time is circle combined with a line that makes the spiral of creation from the DNA until the galaxy.



A Moment of Peace

The Doomsday Clock a barometer of nuclear danger for the past 55 years has been moved one minute further away from the "midnight hour".

The Talmud–Book of Law begins with a lengthy explanation about midnight since the day begins at night; the Torah records at the end of each of the Six Days of Creation there was night and there was day–a complete day. The idea of night is stridently different from the day time when middle can be ascertained through the sun.

According to the Talmud the night is divided into three parts with midnight happening in the middle of the second part, but according to the Cabala the night has four parts and midnight is the thread of Compassion. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor recounts how King Dovid would awake at midnight by means of his harp and the north winds which until today blows at midnight.

Recognizing that the first half of the night was connected with Gevorah/Severity, 2000 years ago people slept during the first half of the night and then awoke to begin a new day with study and prayer, but Roman midnight is one of annihilation, Armageddon and a futureless future.

While secular time moves backwards, away from destruction, spiritual time moves forward into the future. 


Curse of the Slave

“An earthquake? What next? Poor Haiti is cursed.”

Two hundred years ago the Haitian People imported slaves from West Africa rebelled against their French oppressors and gained freedom; for their efforts they have been purposely and brutally dealt with by later oppressors–America being one of them during our era of manifest destiny. The slave was still being punished, set up for the inevitable fall.

The Cabala teaches a thing can not grow until it first decays back to nothing; it is why the seed rots before it grows. Perhaps now before the eyes of the world with the help of the world Haiti will become a paradise built to protect the people.

The Torah/Teaching is said to make one free; the Torah and all the holy books of the world explicitly and forcefully demand the poor be cared for, any poor everywhere throughout the world until poverty is eradicated.

Eventually the fascination for money and the lure of its vapid promises will be diminished and there will arise in its stead a new respect for the human being. A bill of human rights needs to drawn up assuring everyone in the world food, clothing and appropriate shelter–then we can all be free.

More than a Name

In Malaysia, the question over who owns the word "Allah" has led to the fire bombings of six churches. "Allah" means God in the Malay language, but Muslims insist that Christians should not use it.

The Jewish and Moslem concept of God is clearly delineated in the Torah and the Koran as One, meaning: there is nothing in creation which can not be divided, by calling God One refers to the Creator not being in any way, shape or form comparable to anything in creation which can be divided.

Christianity took this concept and sold it as monotheism, a thing not found in either the Torah or the Koran; in the Torah there are 72 Names of God and in the Koran there are 99 Names of God, but YHVH and Allah are beyond them all referring to a Name beyond creation.

The Cabala explains how the four letters YHVH can be rearranged to make the three tenses of time Hoiya/Past, Hovi/Present and Yhiyi/Future–a Name indicating existence beyond time and place where all is One and indivisible. The Christian concept of God is not palatable to either Jewish or Moslem; allowing the Names to become generic commonalities in the banal realm of religion is a travesty.

The Ten Commandments begins with: God is unlike anything in heaven or earth.

Unload My Mind

Amid the renewed political focus on enhancing airport security, attention is turning to a technological advancement that will have mind-reading machines.

It is not the mind that the machine needs to read but the intention. It is a Roman saying that the way to Hell is paved with good intentions, but according to the Torah intention is how God judges the human being, as is taught: God unifies with the good intentions to make them come true–and there is no Hell.

The Cabala explains how intention can come from the soul or from the body. The intention of the body is expressed through the animal cursing through our blood whose survival is paramount; the soul comes in through the right side of the brain initiating cogent thoughts that a machine could monitor.

Thoughts are considered the secret property of the person according to the Torah/Teaching–only God knows the intention of the human being. The mind is the place where the merger between heaven and earth is played out.

This invasion of privacy could not be more intrusive–scanning one’s brain for their thoughts. Bob Dylan says in one of his earlier songs, “I need a dump truck to unload my mind.”

Plague of Medicine

Norwegians were losing lives to bacteria infection until an aggressive program made it the most infection-free country in the world by cutting back severely on the use of antibiotics.

The Talmud-Book of Law says if we could see the Mazikim/Malicious Sprites we would see them surrounding us everywhere like a wall. We call them germs.

A wise man was once asked why he did not wipe out disease since God would hear his prayers, he answered that one disease would be followed by another. In our modern day doctors think they can outsmart nature, but sickness has more to do with the state of the soul than the state of the body.

Those who understand the workings of creation and the many transmigrations between body and soul let the sickness dictate the outcome; it seems from Norway’s experiment that letting ourselves be sick with the simple sickness is itself preservation from more severe sicknesses.

It is for expedience sake that drugs are implored so we can continue to work at jobs we do not like but are afraid to lose. The natural way of life which the Torah teaches is an combination and interplay between the natural system and the power of prayer–God answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is no.

The Cabala adds, what is no in this world is yes in the next world.

A Real Survivor

Tsutomu Yamaguchi died last week. He is the only person officially recognized as having survived the bombings of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. Despite the double radiation exposure, he lived to be 93 years old.

The cabalists make a note of the number 92 because it is the combined sum of the YHVH and the Name Adonoi, the highest and lowest of the Seven Names that are not allowed to be erased according to Jewish Law; when the sum of 92 indicates completion than another digit is added to the sum making it 93.

Yamaguchi pleaded for the abolition of atomic weapons and became a vocal proponent of nuclear disarmament–he did more than survive. America who dropped the two bombs is; now America, the only country to have bombed another country, fears being bombed sixty years later.

The atomic bomb is the biggest sword in Rome’s arsenal and the only way to avert the inevitable is to beat our swords into plow shears as is prophesied in the Torah that in the end Rome, the lion, will lay down with the lamb–the rest of us.

The curious coincidence of a man who survived both bombings and lived to be 93 relates to something intrinsic within each person, a survival instinct not just to survive but to rectify the past.

The King Remembered

The Elvis Birthday Bash has become a lot like the man born January 8, 1935 who since his death have been sighted in all sorts of disparate locations as the years have rolled by.

The Zohar-Book of Secret predicts that Moshiach will not come to the earth until the world sees rainbows in the sky; Elvis was the beginning of the rainbow which exploded in the skies during the sixties. Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones all bowed to the King of Rock and Roll.

In the Hebrew calendar Elvis was born on the fourth day of Shavat the month in which is celebrated the sap coming up into the tree during the full moon–Jewish New Years for the Trees rooted in the element of water. The Cabala explains how water is the source of pleasure; the Talmud-Book of Law says whoever gives pleasure to the people is a sign that God also has pleasure from that person.

Elvis was the seminal beginning of turning war into peace; in his movies and songs Elvis represented a kind-spirited man who reflected a new type of person–Love me Tender. While all the great leaders and masters of war have passed on to ignominy, Elvis lives on.

The Torah says good people even in their demise are still alive in the hearts of the living.

Spirit Against Wind

In a new setback for a controversial wind farm proposed off Cape Cod two Massachusetts Indian tribes say the proposed wind turbines would thwart their spiritual ritual of greeting the sunrise, which requires unobstructed views across the sound, and disturbs ancestral burial grounds.

In explaining opposites the Cabala utilizes the elements of fire and water that combine through air–the invisible element. Water and fire are opposites in their nature, one going up and the other drawn down–it is air which draws them together to form rain to sustain the earth.

Metaphorically, the wind and the spirit are one–both invisible and both essential for life on earth. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor states the world can not exist without wind. The problem like always is the exploitation of the physical elements without regard to spiritual consequence.

The Zohar-Book of Secret portrays the element of fire and water as two flat planes that come together forming a corner; the corner is consider higher than both planes since the corner has the capacity to meld opposites together without adding or subtracting from the two parts. This invisible force is responsible for the cubic nature of creation.

These two disparate sides between exploitation of nature and recognition of the Creator are constantly bumping into one another without a solution. The Torah/Teaching identifies humility as the invisible attribute which connects opposites.

The Great Divide

As the world focuses on the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians, a divide is growing within Israel–religious and secular Jews.

The ancient divide between secular and spiritual goes back thousands of years, but religion has more to do with politics than spirit–two sides of the same secular Roman coin.

There is no word for religion in Hebrew and the divide among the Jewish People which surfaced 2500 years ago a result of the Greek invasion goes all the way back to the building of the Golden Calf at the giving of the Torah 3500 years. The Golden Calf was built because the people doubted that God, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth was present in creation.

The ancients knew of God but surmised that the Creator was too great to be interested in creation; Avraham 4000 years ago came with the message that God is One meaning God in present in the world. Religion took the good message of Avraham and made it into monotheism–the basis of religion.

The Torah is a document meant to be performed on the land of Israel whose borders are specifically set in the Written Text. The Cabala explains in minute detail the workings of creation and how the Torah is applicable throughout the world.

Tower of Babel

The Burj/Tower a half-mile-high skyscraper officially opened yesterday looking like a modern-day Tower of Babel. Dubai has been wracked by a debt crisis, and the building stands mostly empty and unwanted by the international tenants for whom it was supposedly built.

The original Tower of Babel was built on Mars according to the Zohar-Book of Secret; the Midrash–Book of Metaphor explains how 4000 years ago Nimrod made himself king over the world convincing the people to conquer the heavens to prevent another flood. The Talmud-Book of Law says the Tower was so large that one could walk beneath its shadow for three days; the Tower could be seen from all parts of the earth.

In Dubai where the rich and powerful had begun moving their operations is an earthly monument to the affliction of man waring with God–the premise to the Tower of Babel. Interestingly, the tower in Dubai has been renamed to reflect the leader of that country–a clear declaration and split with the west.

In the story of the Tower of Babel the human beings were forced to spread out throughout the earth abandoning a central focus other than the Creator. This modern day repetition of this ancient tale bodes badly for the future of economics and money in particular. Money, power and religion are doomed because the innate spirit of the good human being is on the ascent.

Astronomical Hubris

Astronomers gathered in Washington, D.C. over the weekend for what was billed as the largest astronomy meeting in the history of the universe at the 215th meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

One of the 613 Commandments given to the Jewish People is to build a Myka/Fence around a flat roof so those using the roof will not fall off; the gematria of Myka is 215. Five hundred years ago scientists predicted the world was flat, now astronomers say the universe is flat and have built a perimeter around creation so their theories will not fall off.

Though the scientific community admits to only recognizing four percent of the whole nonetheless their boastings have no end. Scientific knowledge comes from the examination of decaying matter–from death science extrapolates to life. From the minute decaying of the atom until the subtle perturbations seen in lightwaves from the beginning of creation science assumes a lot from a little.

The difference between the secular world and the spiritual world is found in their attitude towards knowledge; according to secularism knowledge is the sum accumulation where last is first–meaning the latest knowledge is considered to highest and best. Spiritual tradition throughout the world dictates the oldest as being the highest.

The Cabala which is the essence of the Torah teaches the light is in the word, while the substance is in the letter.

Sporting God

The Florida Gators super-star quarterback Tim Tebow ended Sugar Bowl 2010 on a biblical note with decals beneath his eyes referring to the New Testament claiming God to be a man.

Quarterbacks are touted to be the smartest members on the team, but football in general is not a sport exemplifying intelligence–though there are personal exceptions. The more physical the sport the less intelligence it takes to play and football is very physical.

Religion like football is very physical though it tries to pretend otherwise, like coaches praying for their team, but everything they teach is about the physical to the point where religion has convinced people that God is physical–the culminating thought to the verse quoted.

Football like religion relies upon blind faith–putting one’s head down, looking only at the ground, pushing ahead against any opposition. Religion calls blind effort dogma assuring all believers according to the quote quoted by the football player that God, Creator of Heaven and Earth is a man–just plain ignorant.

A good advice for the football players is to become vegetarians as it says in the Talmud–Book of Law ignorant people should not eat meat. The Cabala explains how the source of life emanates from the deepest light called Atik Yomim/Ancient Days where there is no opposition–only unity.

The Secular Mind

Russia is considering to launch a spacecraft capable of moving a huge asteroid in a bid to protect Earth from the remote chance of an impact on April 13, 2036. The asteroid will fly within 18,300 miles of Earth.

The secular mind envisions a chaotic universe produced from a big bang ending in entropy–a purposeless creation. In such a reality one can never be too careful. It is this basic perception from the secular mind which has destroyed our world and pit man against his brother.

This gloomy outlook on life inspires greed and immoral behavior, even crimes against children can be rationalized by the secular mind. Religion is the other side of the secular coin promising Hell and eternal suffering–the coin of Rome.

The days of Rome are over and the world is about to undergo major change as secular thinking is replaced by spiritual awareness as prophesied in the Torah; prognosticated by many other holy books and peoples around the world whose vision is fixed on pattern instead of substance predict a rosy future.

The asteroid rushing to the earth will arrive four years before the end of the Jewish century 5796 on the first day of Passover. Only the Creator who creates creation moment by moment knows the final destination of each grain of sand. Those who see the pattern trust in the Maker of the world.

New Decade

Revelers welcomed the new year in worldwide celebrations that often emphasized the hopes for a more peaceful future.

Ten is completion and it is also beginning; according to the Cabala everything physical and spiritual is formed in Ten Sefirot/Luminaries–from the atom until the universe, ten is the operative number of creation. The reason why our solar system is made of up of a sun and nine planets, why we sport ten toes and ten fingers and why the earth is made of seven continents and three oceans is because ten is both completeness and beginning. The previous ten years of zero has made a separation between the past and the future. The 2000 years promised to Rome has been completed and the Roman calendar is being reduced down to a mechanized time by which computers will continue to operate, but the myth of Rome will be put to rest. A new time is beginning known as the End of Days during which the Roman, Mayan and Hebrew calendars will end and the human being will be spiritually transformed. In the Cabala the lower seven of the ten is related directly to life on the earth, the seven continents. The seventh continent, Antarctica corresponds to the seventh day, the Day of Rest which begins in 230 years–no wonder it is beginning to melt.
