Too Fat to Fly

Director Kevin Smith says he was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to Burbank this weekend for being too heavy.

The Torah is full of stories about fat people because fat indicates pleasure; some had physical pleasure while others had spiritual pleasure–both produce fat. The Talmud–Book of Law says some Rabbis became fat from the saying the phrase Yhay Shmay Raba/God’s Name is Great.

The Rabbis of the Talmud were renown for their fat; the Papas who lived in the north of Israel making beer were so fat that cattle could graze beneath the shadow of their prodigious stomach when they came together to speak. Fat was not always good as the Torah says They got fat and they kicked.

Shumen/Fat and Shemen/Oil share the same letters because their source is essence–pleasure. Shemen/Oil is the product of contraction squeezing the essence from within while Shumen/Fat accumulates often because of inaction. The animals sacrificed on the alter in Temple in Jerusalem 2000 years ago were eaten except for the fat which was burned in the fire.

The Cabala teaches the purpose of the human being on planet earth is to partake in pleasure that is later sacrificed to God–then the fat can fly.
