The Healing Needle

New research finds that the natural compound adenosine, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, floods tissue that is punctured or aggravated, and may be the secret ingredient in acupuncture which has been a mainstay of medical treatment in certain parts of the world for 4,000 years.

The Talmud-Book of Law describes similar practices amongst the Jewish People whose doctors would actually puncture the skin and draw a small amount of blood from different parts of the body effectuating a cure.

The reason why ancient knowledge is profound is because it has been tested by time and result; modern day man wants it all in a pill because time is pushing the world to go faster. In all parts of the world life is being refined down to essential integral parts to facilitate efficiency.

The Torah explains the purpose of sickness is to bring the person closer to God through prayer and supplication; modern man has no time for sickness, he has to be at work–the lesson goes unlearned and the world suffers as a result. The Cabala adds, A small hole in the body indicates a large hole in the soul.

The rape of our world plundered by little men trying to be big is a direct result of how we regard sickness. The Midrash–Book of Metaphor tells how King Shlomo wrote a book to cure all illnesses but the Rabbis hid the book because people would stop praying.

Nun of That

The Catholic Church’s recent excommunication of an Arizona nun involved in the decision to authorize abortion to save the life of the mother reinforces perceptions of church leaders as rigid and dogmatic.

Religion is based in dogma and expected to be rigid even opposing basic human nature like sex and life. The Torah is very clear that the mother’s life comes before the life of the fetus who is not yet a complete life. The Church maintaining their doctrine of born into sin considers the child, not yet born, more worthy than the mother.

This errant view is based in the religious perception that sex is inherently evil; the Talmud-Book of Metaphor teaches, the free undefined nature of sex makes it a perfect vehicle for the evil inclination–those who believe themselves evil are more pronged to doing evil acts than those who fight their inclination.

The Church whose dogmas can not be questioned perpetuate pedophilia by imposing evil as a state of being when in actuality evil is the action taken. In the case of the nun her natural emotions overcame the dogma and she saved the mother and not the child. The Church’s punishment was more than any pedophile received.

The Church calls the Torah/Teaching a Testament but nothing could be further from the truth. Testament infers dogma whereas Teaching infers questions.

Big Black Blobs

This scares everybody, the fact that we can't make this well stop flowing, an official BP executive said.

One quarter of the Gulf of Mexico is now considered polluted where no fishing is allowed. The vision of massive bubbles of oil quickly being conveyed through underwater currents in all directions–menacing black blobs–is terrifying. And nobody knows what to do.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, At first man was created to be 120 feet tall but the angels complained saying he smelt too bad, so God made man to be six feet tall. No matter, after six thousand years man again is smelling bad as witness by the fumes escaping into the air from the evaporating oil.

The Midrash also says that in the end oil will overcome water and all the holidays will be forgotten except for Purim which celebrates that which is beyond logic; during Purim one is commanded to get so drunk until good and bad look alike. Getting drunk numbs the mind.

Moshiach/Oil Pourer will bring a new revelation from the heavens to purify the earth, but everyone knows the oil spewing up from the earth is a result of man’s desire for more things. Cleaning up the world must begin in the heart of man.

Godless in America

Atheists are heavily concentrated in economically developed countries, particularly the social democracies like America; in underdeveloped countries, there are virtually no atheists.

Atheism is a peculiarly modern phenomenon where money has replaced God while religion sells places in heaven. More primitive countries who have yet to be defiled by money still trust in God.

The Cabala explains how the body has a nature to survive thus focusing on the material but it is the soul which gives life to the body–substance is only a vehicle through which life filters from the heavens down to the earth. The essence of life calls to us with the voice of pleasure found in our food and our physical environment.

The strong animal nature within the human being prevents those searching for a closer connection with the Creator; stymied by the need for substance, the allure of money, the gleam of silver modern man is blinded into thinking creation is a haphazard affair.

Invariably when giving a coin to a beggar they respond with, “God bless you” because the less we have the more we see. In the Tulmud–Book of Law to term Sogi Ore/Too Much Light is used to describe a blind person; those afflicted with the need for more substance are blind to God.

Milk Moon

The full moon of May, also known as the "Milk moon," will occur at 7:07 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time this Thursday, May 27.

The Zohar-Book of Secret says the Torah was given during this month because Yaakov, later named Yisroel/Israel the father of the 12 Tribes, is a twin; his twin brother Esau is the father Rome. The Torah says when Rome ascends Yisroel falls, also the opposite is true.

There is no question that Rome is falling as the Jewish People are gathering together–for the first time in 2000 years the Jewish population is more in Israel. Yet, the Jewish People are a small people; after 3500 years only 14 million, but the power of the Jewish People is in the Torah.

Though Esau came first from the womb and was crowned first born, later Yaakov buys the privilege of first born from his brother and accomplishes bringing both of their energies into the Torah, as explained in the Cabala.

The milkiness of the moon of this month portrays the idea of Yisroel rising. Esau is connected to the planet Mars, red with Gevorah/Severity while the blue earth portends kindness–but nothing is kinder than the white of milk. Israel is known in the Torah as the place flowing with milk and honey.

Heavenly Paths

The shuttle Atlantis closed out its 32nd and final planned mission with a smooth Florida landing Wednesday, wrapping up a quarter century of service with a successful space station assembly mission.

The Sefer Yitzira/Book of Form written by Avraham 4000 years ago begins with, There are 32 wondrous paths into the heavens that engrave wisdom into 20 Names to create the world in three Sefirot: Sofer/Writer, Sefer/Book and Ztipor/Story. In response human endeavor has had 32 flights into heaven.

The number 32 is fundamental to creation because it is the gematria of Lev/Heart which is connected to the 32 teeth; the teeth represent the crushing of thoughts initiating emotions– it is the head and the heart which produce action. The secret of creation is 32.

The Sefer Yitzira later explains how the number 32 is a composite of the Ten Sefirot as portrayed in the sun and nine planets and the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet which are divided male and female according to the Ten Sefirot plus each with an essence.

The Writer is God, the Book where the story of life is written is in heaven, but the Story of life is here on earth where the human being through the force of our mutual freedom of choice produce the unfolding of the universal plot bring Creator and creation closer together.

Sexed Out

Pornography addiction is our newest and most challenging mental health problem and a substantial part of our economy.

The Talmud-Book of Law contends that if a person comes to a fork in the road and one path leads to religion while the other leads to sex–take the road that leads to sex. Sex and religion are both businesses; the Catholic Church is rumored to be to be biggest land holder in the world.

Both religion and sex are based on belief because the experience of sex and revelation is beyond logic; having sex can lead to disease in the same way religion can become a cult–neither faith nor sex requires money yet both makes lots of money. What’s with that?

The Beatles said, Money can’t buy ya love! Sex without love and religion without God costs lots of money since they are inherently false. The Bal Shem Tov once commented that he could not pray in Shul because it was too full of prayers–prayers directed to God raise up into heaven.

Sex without love is a mental-emotional disease, but filling the void of God with money is a disease of the soul. The Cabala refers to sex as Zivugim–Essential Merging but there is no word in all the Torah for religion other than Avoda Zora/Strange Worship.

Dancing with the Stars

Astronomers have spotted violent eruptions from an interacting pair of stars that orbit around each other every 25 minutes; outbursts take place at regular and predictable intervals, erupting every two months.

Dovid, in his book of poetry called Tihilim/Psalms says, Lift your eyes and see who created these. The fascination with the heavens equals mans fascination with fire; both are called by the same name, Ore/Light. How light was produced is explained in the Cabala referring to the Zohar-Book of Secret which relates how creation was carved out of Btznina Dkardineta/Hard Light.

The Cabala calls the Hard Light OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd because there is no space in the original light nor was there time. It is the engraving into the Hard Light which gives space to creation; at the lowest level of creation the light has been transmuted into letters which broke the light causing the shards to shatter outwards.

The place of the engraving is here in our solar system of a sun and nine planets; all the stars of our galaxy are spinoffs, shards of stars forever connected to the earth through a lattice of star beams. Nothing is random or haphazard.

The intricacies of the universe as uncovered through scientific observation are astounding, some beyond belief, so it is noteworthy to hear Dovid say, Lift up your eyes and see who created these.

The Pig People

The Catholic Church is working against the interests of child abuse victims in state legislatures around the country; through lobbying, the church has blocked measures intended to widen the legal window for victims to file lawsuits against hidden predators.

The two Semitic Peoples directly from the seed of Avraham, Arab and Jewish, circumcise and refrain from eating pig; in stark contrast the Roman People eat pig and are uncircumcised. This basic difference more than any philosophical or religious debate cuts to the core issue separating our peoples.

It is explained in the Torah/Teaching that the pig is the only animal in the world which displays one sign of a kosher animal, cloven hooves, but not the interior sign of multiple stomachs; because of this anomaly, being the only animal displaying the outer sign of kosher but not the inner sign, the pig exemplifies the hypocrite.

The animal side of the human being is manifested in many different forms but none as despicable as the hypocrite. In Jewish Law one who steals outright is not punished to the degree as one who masks their intentions.

The blatant indecency by the Church during their long history of hypocrisy where celibacy is a feign for the most despicable acts against children finds the Church repenting with one hand and covering up with the other. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says eventually the pig will become kosher when God circumcises the heart of man.

Jewish Mothers

Several recent rabbinic rulings on fertility treatment dictate that a child conceived in vitro is Jewish only if the egg came from a Jewish woman.

What makes a person Jewish is their soul; the difference between the Jewish soul and other human souls is the Jewish soul is Benia Bekorim/First Born as mentioned many times in the Torah. The first born is chosen by God–every family has one.

To be first obligates further responsibilities; it is why the Jewish People are obligated to 613 Commandments while the rest of the world is cool with God if they do the Seven Commandments of Noah. This original human soul passed through 26 generations from Adom, the first human, until Moshe took the Jewish People from the womb of Egypt and became a people.

The soul given to the Jewish People was in the form a blessing transmitted through the Three Fathers: Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov later called Yisroel/Israel. The four wives of Yisroel bore twelve sons who are progenitors of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Today only the tribe of Levi is recognized and the rest of the Jewish People are simple called Yiroel/Israel.

Who has a Jewish soul is determined by the mother; if the mother is Jewish then the child is Jewish–born with the obligation of 613 Commandments.

What’s the Matter

New results from a particle accelerator experiment suggest that matter has a one percent difference between the amount of matter and antimatter produced explaining why a matter-dominated existence came about.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, In the beginning the nature of creation was unknown until God said–Let there be light, indicating light would be predominant to darkness. Physically, the way light is manifested is through matter having a slight advantage over antimatter because whatever is in heaven is also replicated here on the earth.

This slight inequality is also seen in the division between male and female–woman having a slight edge over men; the sun has a 21 year cycle against the 19 year cycle of the moon. The Cabala explains how all things were set forth in the beginning when the Will of God became revealed. Why would God be unequal?

Creation could just as easily been of darkness or of light, but the Creator chose light. There is no essential good or bad when it comes to light and darkness, but male dominated societies who prefer males over females have almost evened the odds.

The Rabbis who committed the Oral Tradition to writing 2000 years ago composing the Talmud-Book of Law, Midrash-Book of Metaphor and Zohar-Book of Secret said, The world maintains a delicate balance which the slightest deed can effect.

Crazy Creative

New research shows a link between mental health and creativity; researchers have shown that the dopamine system in healthy, highly creative people is similar to people with schizophrenia.

Crazy in our society is not being able to contend with or fit into a very tight mold; any deviation from proper conduct is deemed aberrant, requiring fixing. Even creativity is constrained by the necessity of making one’s art palatable for the public.

Serotonin and dopamine are mood enhancing brain chemicals that react favorably with hallucinogens like LSD and magic mushrooms. The state of being high or creative mimics the delirium of crazy people.

The first prophets as recorded in the Book of Shmuel/Samuel calls them Mashuganim/Crazies because they would travel throughout the land playing songs and being in revery–during prophecy they would tear off their clothes as not to have anything between themselves and the Creator. Creative people in this modern time are similar to the prophets of old.

Generally, human behavior is not considered crazy–just the many faces of human nature. My teacher related the following story: A woman once complained to a rabbi that her son was crazy because he eats pig and spends the night with strange woman; no, said the rabbi, your son would be crazy if he ate women and spent the night with strange pigs.

Torah Given

Shavuot, or the "feast of weeks,” is celebrated seven weeks after Passover. It marks the culmination of the Omer period leading to the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.

The word Shavout/Weeks is connected to the words Sovia/Satiated and Shavua/Vows; these three ideas of weeks, satiation and vows culminate on the fiftieth day, the sixth of Sivan when the Jewish People received the Torah which this year falls on the 19th of May.

Passover is the advent of the Jewish People and 50 days later the Jewish People become bride to the Creator who gave the Ten Commandments engraved in two cubes made of sapphire and the Jewish People became bride to the Creator promising to obey and perform the 613 Commandments implicit within the first ten.

The Torah satisfies the soul since God looked into the ocean of the Torah and from that reflection created creation. The Cabala teaches the first commandments given to the first human beings were of a spiritual nature but it was not until the Torah was given on Mount Sinai that the commandments became physical.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says Avraham did all the 613 Commandments even before the Torah was given; once in the physical world the commandments become filaments to the spiritual light. Every year at this time the light becomes more profound.

Just Us

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court said that sentences of life without possibility of parole for crimes other than homicide that were committed when the offender was under the age of 18 are unconstitutional.

There are no jails in Torah Law; crimes committed that that do not involve death were dealt by monetary compensation. If the criminal could not pay the compensation, along with the rabbinical fine then the criminal was forced to be sold into servitude to the victim.

Jail is a deterrent whereas servitude is demonstrable justice. As there are laws concerning the servitude of the perpetrator so too are laws pertaining to the obligation of the slave owner who is responsible for the food, shelter and medical expensives for the slave and his family–sounds like capitalism.

The slave can redeem himself at anytime in the event of a sudden windfall like winning the lottery. A legal system based on deterrent only works through fear of being tortured–prison is torture, anyone who has been there knows that. The legal system uses the concept of justice and law to control the people.

The last of the seven commandments of Noah obligates all peoples of the world is to form courts of law for the purpose of administrating justice. If our constitution does not provide for speedy justice than the constitution is unconstitutional and justice is just us.

A Visual Language

Google's video-sharing Website YouTube turned 5 years old this month and is now supporting 2 billion views per day, the YouTube team said May 16.

One of the predictions about the future when Moshiach is expected talks about a visual language and how the entire world will communicate instantaneously; technology is the lowest level of human communication–a manufactured means by which to pass thoughts and intentions. A sign of a higher people is their lack of technology.

Technology arose because the original human beings’ spiritual abilities that could manifest whatever they required began to erode because of misdeeds. It is explained in the Cabala how some misdeeds draw blood from the ethereal body while others numb a limb or a nerve; the way to repair the ethereal body is through repentance–returning to the Creator by admitting the wrong.

God always forgives; God just wants to be acknowledged within creation. Technology gives the impression that destiny is in the hands of the human being but nothing is less true–man plans and God laughs. There is nothing higher than seeing God, but first we must be able to see ourselves.

The divide between Creator and creation as explained throughout the Torah is to effectuate change in creation; technology is the lowest denominator of that change allowing everyone to communicate–a harbinger of things to come.

The Missing Cross

A seven-foot-tall Latin cross in the middle of both the Mojave Desert and a Supreme Court case on the separation of church and state has been stolen.

There is a way to fix the cross without having to remove the cross; the cross is an ancient symbol of the planet Mars known to be the place of the previous world mentioned in the beginning of the Torah called Tohu/Chaos. Life on earth was seeded from Mars as scientists are beginning to understand.

Tohu is the source of the animal soul through means of a essential configuration different from here on earth where the basic structure has ten attributes dispersed along three pillars; in Tohu, which broke because everything wanted everything, the top triangle of the head remained whole but the other seven lined up one behind the other making the form of the cross.

It is no wonder that modern Rome prays to the cross just as ancient Rome prayed to the planet Mars. The cross as a symbol of the animal life remains embedded throughout the earth–it is why animals mate from behind.

By removing the two arms of the cross and leaving only vertical line the Hebrew letter Vav/6 would be made. The Vav is called the letter of truth because it connects the heavens and earth.

The Blind and the Lame

President Barack Obama singled out executives from BP Plc, Transocean Ltd. and Halliburton Co. for blaming each other in a “ridiculous spectacle” at congressional hearings on the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.

There is a metaphor is the Torah which describes the connection between the head and body as two men hired by the owner of rare orchard to watch over his crop; to make sure the men would not steal he hired a blind man and a crippled man thinking their disabilities would keep the watchers themselves from partaking of the fruit.

The blind man could not see but the crippled man told him about the fruit and how precious it was and how good it must taste. Finally overcome by desire the two man hatched a plan. The blind man would carry the crippled man who would in turn would direct the blind man.

When the master returned to the orchard he saw that his crops had been tampered with; he asked the watchers–the crippled said, I could not have done it because I can not walk and the blind man said he could not have done it because he was blind. The master put cripple on top of the blind man and whipped them as one.

Not to covet your neighbors property is fundamental to the Torah. The human being of the earth and the earth is of us all.

Time of Secret

For the first time, microscopic robots made from DNA molecules can walk, follow instructions and work together to assemble simple products on an atomic-scale assembly line, mimicking the machinery of living cells.

Technology arose because of the innate weakness of the human being unable to deal with his environment; the first man was a fire-being whose light was so great, according to the Midrash-Book of Metaphor, the heel of Adom/Adam shone with such illumination that it made the sun embarrassed.

In Hebrew the word Ore/Light sounds identical to Ore/Flesh; after eating from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge Good and Bad the Adom’s light turned into skin–since then man has been fashioning ways to deal with being physical. Since the Adom came from the Garden of Eden he carried with him many secrets.

For the first three thousand years of history the human being implored spirit to provide their needs through the means of idol worship or prayer before God–both worked but one was stealing and the other asking. In our times technology and religion have replaced idols and prayers.

We are presently 770 years into the final millennium of the Hebrew calendar called Yesod/Foundation made from the word Sod/Secret; during this time all the secrets become known–physical and spiritual in preparation for the coming new light.

Red Turns to White

Jupiter has lost one of its iconic red stripes and scientists are baffled as to why. The band was present in at the end of last year before Jupiter ducked behind the Sun but when it emerged three months later the belt had disappeared.

The diversity found in our solar system, to which the scientists can find no reason, precisely represents the cabalistic atom called the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries also known as the Tree of Life composed of three triangles. The first triangle corresponds to the sun, Mercury and Venus; the second triangle is earth, Mars and Jupiter.

Each of the three triangles correspond to one of the three sections of the body–head, body, legs; Jupiter is the largest of the planets corresponding the torso a combination of the colors red and blue-white from Mars and earth. Seven years ago the red planet came closest to the earth evoking the Bush Wars of 2003.

Jupiter comes closest to the earth during the holiday of Succot on September 24, 2010. It is during Succot that the nations of the world gathered at the Temple before God and there was peace in the world. Jupiter coming without the red belt can only be a good sign; less red, less Gevorah/Severity–more peace.

The ancient tradition of reading the planets and stars for signs from heaven as dictated by the Creator has taken a back seat to baffled scientists searching for life in the middle of life.

The Imperfect Perfect Game

Dallas Braden threw the 19th perfect game in baseball history Sunday in a 4-0 victory over the visiting Rays in front of his grandmother on Mother's Day.

This unusual happening, retiring 27 consecutive batters–the minimum possible–needs to be inspected for clues from heaven. The perfect game is baseball’s greatest anomaly, why did it happen now to him? To better understand the how and the why it is necessary to scrutinize the numbers associated with this feat.

One of the cabalistic rules concerning gematria, the study of number-letter interchange, is the ability to add one to a complete number; 26 is the total of the Four Letter Name of God YHVH, adding one makes Cof-Ziyan/27 makes the word Zak/Pure when read backwards.

The number 19 is also significant because it was Mother’s Day but his mother had prematurely passed away–19 is the most incomplete number. The sum total of 27 and 19 is 72 which is the highest number related to the YHVH, called Ab /72 (Aiyin-Bet) the number related to the essence of the human being.

Doing anything perfect requires the help of God as seen is baseball where the best pitchers are not generally the ones throwing the perfect games–as the Talmud-Book of Law says, everything is in heaven with the exception of Yira Shamiam/Fear of Heaven.

Male Infertility

One in five men could suffer from fertility problems. And scientists have warned that it's just going to get worse...

Stories of gender and sexuality abound throughout the Torah; the Zohar-Book of Secret and the Cabala key to the Zohar are explicit with sexual metaphor to explain creation–even the relationship between the essence of God and the Name of God is portrayed in as male and female.

Women who exemplifies the Cli/Vessel are receptor to the essential light from the source–in this way essence diffuses into light. The vessel and the angels are intertwined but the essential light connects directly to the source. The same is true of man and woman.

Woman is born with all the eggs she will have for a lifetime, a few ten of thousands; the man is able to continually bring forth sperm in the millions at any time for the entirety of his adult life–the light is infinite while the vessel is finite.

The Cabala describes men from the head directly connected to the soul while woman are of the heart directly connected to the Creator. Sperm is formed in the mind of man drawn down the spine and cooked in the testicles according to the Talmud-Book of Law. Male masturbation weakens man’s connection with his soul.

Three and Six

President Obama nominated Solicitor General Elena Kagan as the nation’s 112th justice, dividing the Supreme Court between three Jews and six Catholics.

The division of three and six is fundamental to the Ten Sefirot as described in the Cabala that separates the triangle of the head (the two hemispheres and the third eye) from the two triangles that compose the body (the torso and two arms, the two legs and the sex.

The two lower triangles are called Zira Ampin/Small faces (Emotions) since they are a reflection of the essence known as Erik Anpin/Large Faces (Will and Pleasure). My teacher, Abba Pliskin taught me that the face is a thief stealing emotions to show to the world.

Through the triangle of the head the essence filters from the brain initiating emotions in the heart. The brain weighs the Will and desire for Pleasure according to the environment ascertained by the senses culminating in knowing–the third eye. When the head knows, the heart emotes.

That the supreme court would have this configuration of three and six during the 111th congress presided over by the first African-American placing another woman on the court of 111 justices is significant–three women and six men. A spiritual symmetry can only help to realign justice in our country.

Science Scrutinized

Neanderthals mated with some modern humans after all a team of biologists has reported in the first detailed analysis of the Neanderthal genetic sequence.

Science excels in discovering new information, but lack ability to interpret the facts–mired by philosophical conclusions that refute anything that can not be measured. Scientists make conclusion based on the own bias–then sell it to the world. The world has become accustomed to the evolution of science that keeps inventing new scenarios to explain phenomenon.

The Zohar-Book of Secret calls our planet Tavel, a term used for the sharing of seed between man and animal. The Mekeva/Chariot is a vehicle of three faces–lion, ox and eagle with the face of a human on the top; in another rendition, four faces on the bottom adding the face of the human–a human animal perhaps.

There are numerous ways to interpret facts, the Torah helps to point us in the right direction–whatever the facts nothing should contradict the Torah that predated creation. The Midrash–Book of Metaphor says God looked into the ocean of Torah and from the reflection came the pattern and logic of creation, therefore nothing in creation should contradict the Torah.

Believing in science is like believing in religion–it makes you feel like you know something, but that is just a mirage.

Mike Tyson’s Softer Side

May 8, 2010

Heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson revealed to audience members during a taping of Center Stage that he's gone vegan.

The Torah goes into great length as to what animals are clean and which animals are impure. At first glance this seems ridiculous; what does it mean pure and impure when concerning animals? The word Kosher is connected to Kesher/Bridge because only certain animals are able to cross over to the spiritual realm.

Animals, like people are more or less able to connect to the spiritual world, but all are necessary for the earth to function; together the world is body and soul–both are necessary. Vegan is the most spiritual of all diets. Why would a man known for bitting the ear off another man go vegan?

It is explained in the Cabala that to the degree a person has deviated from the true path they must go to the other extreme in order to arrive at the middle. A rebbe once said, it is impossible to judge another man because life is long and the process of becoming only is revealed in the end.

The Torah in describing punishments for different crimes rewards violence over deception. A person who is tough and has a tough life is more likely to act out in violence, but deception is premeditated.

Time Square Bomber

The mammoth clock-to-wire-to-gasoline-to-propane car bomb that the authorities said Faisal Shahzad hoped would claim many lives in Times Square has been analyzed, diagrammed, prodded and pored over.

What excuse is there for indiscriminate killing? As terrible as it is to wait in ambush and purposely kill, killing for no other purpose than to kill to make a political statement is beyond anything mentioned in the Torah; the Torah brings extreme examples to establish boundaries for human behavior–but this scenario is not even mentioned.

Once dogs taste the taste of blood they kill without remorse, just for the sport. The Zohar-Book of Secret says at the End of Days the leaders will look like dogs, which is when B’Laden comes to spread chaos. B’Landen, continues the Zohar, is a dog, his is not even human.

The Torah is called Torat Adom/Teaching Human. Freedom of choice means human beings have the ability to reign in our animal inclinations when enraged over territorial issues or other instinctual survival necessities.

The Cabala points out that the word Behama/Animal has the gematria of 52 twice the gematria of YHVH/26 the Four Letter Name of God. It is one thing to constrain the animal, but it is another to turn the animal into an ally then the dog becomes man’s best friend.

Day of Prayer

As presidents have done every year since 1952, President Obama today, National Day of Prayer, issued a proclamation urging people to, Turn to God in prayer and meditation.

It is pointed out in the Midrash-Book of Metaphor that though the earth was seeded with life nothing grew because it had not yet rained until the first human prayed to God. It is God’s first advise to all human beings, when you need something ask God.

Avraham 2000 years later came to the earth with the teaching of how the Creator is everywhere available to everyone all the time–in modern society this concept has been usurped for Monotheism, whatever that is. There was never a question about how many gods existed; everyone acknowledged the God of gods.

The message of Avraham has been usurped by religion who have found commercial value in God turning charity and misfortune into big business. The Talmud-Book of Law says, Nothing impedes between creation and Creator–God hears and answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is, No.

According to Jewish Law prayer need not be vocalized, even thinking or feeling prayer is valid since nothing is hidden from the Creator. The Cabala teaches that Tephila/Prayer has the sense of tying; religion means to untie or retie. Before God all prayers are equal.

Israel and Nukes

The United States, Russia, Britain, France and China voiced support on Wednesday for making the Middle East a nuclear weapons free zone, which would ultimately force Israel to scrap any atomic arms.

The only reason Israel maintains the visage of nuclear weaponry is as a deterrent to the hundreds of millions who back in the beginning of the Israeli state vowed to march into Israel and throw the Jews into the sea–that fear no longer exists.

There is no reason for a nuclear Israel and if they would open their secret sites to inspectors and sign on to the international treaty against developing nuclear weapons Iran would be forced to do the same–problem solved.

The Jewish People were chosen by God to perform 613 Commandments as an example to the world of how to follow in the way of God. Israel, of all places in the world must be free of nuclear weapons–the state of Israel must bow the land of Israel and the Will of God.

The Cabala reverses the letters of Israel to read Rosh Li/My Head; the land of Israel according the Talmud-Book of Law is said to make one smart. Lets hope the Israeli government will seize this opportunity to effectuate major change in the Middle East with a stab of the pen instead of the sword.

Spirit Weighed

Quarks, the elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons have been notoriously difficult to weigh, until now.

In the middle Sixties while the world was discovering LSD scientists were quietly discovering the Quark, decimating theories that for centuries contended the atom the fundamental building block of reality. For fifty years now theorists with the aid of atom smashers have concluded there are six types of quarks which make the nucleus of the atom.

The way in which the six quarks align determines the exterior properties of the atom–directly corresponding to the Cabala. The lower two triangles of the Ten Sefirot, called Zira Anpin/Small Faces interact in different ways to manifest emotions.

The number six is fundamental to creation because of the six-sided cubic nature of reality–up, down, forward, backwards, left and right. Only the up and down Quark is stable in the same way the relationship between Creator and creation is the foundation to existence.

The Quark is the place where the spiritual world condenses down into matter and takes on physical reality mirroring the spiritual world. The Torah explains this mirrored phenomenon as the Six Days of Creation; the Cabala adds Olam/World from the word Helem/Hidden–through the six quarks is hidden spirit from matter.

Pope Prays to Shroud

Pope Benedict prayed to the shroud of Turin saying, "The Holy Shroud eloquently reminds us always of the one who was crucified and who has shared our suffering.”

The shroud is no more true than the story it portends, but since there is no evidence of the crucifixion story at all after 2000 years of archeological and historical research the Church is forced to turn to something with substance, even if it is a lie.

It is the animal part of the person who desires a thing of substance to prostrate before because the animal gets its sustenance from the angels while the human soul connects directly with the Creator through the power of pleasure; since the Creator is neither physical nor spiritual there is nothing in creation to hold on to–just the Creator.

Those who embrace the animal soul over the human soul live by a manufactured morality that forgives the rich sinner–called Indulgences. Like the animal, religion just wants to survive and be king of the jungle.

There is no relic in all of creation that has any resemblance to the Creator. The Cabala explains, only through becoming nothing can once glimpse Y’kar DeMalcha/Glory of the King; it is why sight comes from the dark of the eye–a sign from the Creator who is beyond illumination.

Oil and Essence

As the worst U.S. oil spill in decades began endangering the shoreline habitat along the Gulf Coast, documents emerged showing BP downplayed the possibility of a catastrophic accident at the offshore rig that exploded.

Olive oil in Torah has a central function giving fuel to the Golden Menorah in the Temple; the Talmud-Book of Law describes how the purest oil comes from the first drop of the olive and how it is that oil covers water–Moshiach is from the word Meshach/Anointing.

Since the industrial revolution the world stays lit using the oil from the earth; it is the squeezing of the earth that causes the oil to flow–we are obviously wearing out the earth while her treasured secrets are being exploited by politician for their clandestine agenda.

For whatever profits the oil companies and politician exact from the earth the devastation visited upon the our land far outweighs any consideration of money. The delicate ecco system of the Gulf of Mexico means that life will not return to this area for decades–the price for doing business.

Moshiach is related to oil through the phenomenon of oil rising to the surface indicating that Moshiach will bring a new knowledge to the world which will be even higher than the Torah which is rooted in water which comes from a high place down, oil on the other hand ascends.

Deep of the Deep

Lag BaOmer beginning sundown May first is a festive day on the Jewish calendar, celebrating the anniversary of the passing of the great sage and mystic Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, author of the Zohar.

Rabbi Shimon lived 2000 years ago during the time when the Talmud-Book of Law and Midrash-Book of Metaphor were composed; Rabbi Shimon wrote the Zohar-Book of Secret at the same time but he wrote it in heaven and did not transmit the text to the earth for another 1000 years.

When Rabbi Shimon passed away he commanded the people to celebrate on the anniversary of his passing because he was going home. There are 49 days counted between Passover the Shavuot celebrating the giving of the Torah, Rabbi Shimon passed away on the 33rd day (Lamed-30 Gimal-3/Lag) known in the Cabala a Hod ShabaHod/Splendor of Splendor–the deepest of the deep.

Rabbi Shimon was able to penetrate the most hidden secrets, yet the Zohar has remained in obscurity up until recently. Now that the Zohar is available, translated and annotated, still the Zohar is obscure.

the Cabala, key to the Zohar, came a few hundreds years later, but still the Zohar remains aloft. The Zohar fills the holes, answers the outstanding questions, but if one does not know the Torah, the Zohar is meaningless because the answer is nothing without the question.
