The Scapegoat

In all the fallout surrounding the Gaza flotilla incident is that sanctimonious and meddling voice known as "world opinion" and once again the world's oldest story is being played out before our eyes: The Jews are being scapegoated again.

The origin of the scapegoat is found in the Torah/Teaching where on the holiest day of the year Yom HaKiporim/Day of Atonement a goat is sent out into the wilderness to die; the goat of Azzazel, hinting to the jagged cliff that the goat is thrown over, is destined to a hideous type of death.

The scapegoat in the Torah was meant to appease the Satan for a moment so the Jewish People could pray unencumbered. This strange commandment was performed only during the time of the Temple, but the idea of the scapegoat has been usurped by the nations who have chosen the Jewish People to scapegoat their wrongs.

The political ambitions of the west for more than a century to control the Middle East along with the Christian religion who accuses the Jewish People of killing god have purposely caused enmity between brothers–the Jewish and Arab Peoples. Out west they would say, The Jewish People are the pissing post between two cowboys.

The Cabala teaches whatever exists in holiness also exists in the profane. The Torah sacrificed an animal for the sake of the people while the world is willing the sacrifice a people for the sake of politics.

God’s Brain

Michelangelo’s depiction of the human brain and brain stem appears to be drawn on the neck of God in a panel high on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

The reason why the Sistine Chapel was commissioned by the Vatican to be painted by Michelangelo was because the people were ignorant and could not read; an illustration was substituted though it clearly states in the beginning of the Ten Commandments: do not make an image of God from the forms of heaven or earth.

This atrocious act of hubris perpetrated by the Church has inspired many by the pure artistry, but to think there is some kind of message embedded within the art is alluring. What did Michelangelo mean by depicting the brain of God in the neck?

The Cabala uses the human anatomy as a guidepost through creation separated in four sections like the human body; the head, torso, limbs plus soul provide the format for spiritual understanding known as the Four Worlds–three of body and one of soul. Matter and spirit have form, but God has no form.

The Cabala explains how cognition is an extreme contractive form of the light; the neck is the most contractive part of the body called Mitzar/Confinement. The brain of the emotions arise in the neck in the form of external cognition through which the heart is inspired.

Sailing into Trouble

The beleaguered BP chief executive, Tony Hayward, attended a yacht race after a hostile interrogation by a US congressional committee on the Gulf Coast oil spill.

The congress is taken a well-worn path forged originally by the Nochus/Serpent who entangled the first human being by persuading the woman to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad. When God asked man why he ate the man blamed the woman–the snake took that example transforming into the Satan/Oppose.

The opposing force in creation stems from the Serpent who entices; the congress enticed the oil companies to drill, made inadequate regulations with lax oversight and when there was an accident became outraged at the oil company. So it is with the soul.

The foreign impulse called Yetzer Hora/Bad Picture Maker purposely tries to ensnarl the human being then gives witness against the soul when life has ended and judgment is pronounced. The human being is so familiar with the Yetzer Hora that the meticulous accounting of one’s errant deeds appears traitorous.

What BP did was criminal but what the Congress does is hypocritical–it is hard to know which one is worse. The human soul has an excuse; neither governments nor corporations have souls. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says in the end God will slay the Yetzer Hora.

Death by Execution

Ronnie Lee Gardner, the convicted double-murderer executed by a firing squad in Utah in the predawn hours Friday, died in a manner that even the state that killed him no longer wants to use.

The death sentence is frequently invoked throughout the Torah making it appear as if for the least mistake involving the 613 commandments one can die. Heaven is very strict, an angel can not do more than one task at at time and changes names according to the task–they have no freedom of will.

The Torah is perfect and the heavens expect perfection; the angles don’t understand human compulsion–but this gives God the opportunity to be compassionate. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor relates, before God created the human being the angels warned: they will cause God anger and God responded, so I will show mercy.

Death was not just a decree from heaven, even the courts had the right to put people to death, but it is taught in the Talmud-Book of Law, if courts put to death more than one person in 70 years then the courts were considered to be murders.

There are four methods of killing: strangulation, decapitation, falling and fire. The courts are commanded that death must be without pain since the four methods were designed to correct the blemish made in the YHVH, the Four Letter Name of God.

Earth Birth

An extremely long stretch of low solar activity in recent years has scientists baffled and scrambling for better forecasting models for the sun.

For a hundred years scientists have been watching the very predictable 11 year cycle of the sun; like the moon, half way through the cycle the sun reaches maximum sun spots then declines over the next 5.5 years. At the end of 2012 when the Mayan calendar ends the sun will reach full-sun status.

However, the sun has been acting up and not cooperating with human predictions leading scientists to discover new, longer cycles of the sun going back 6000 years to the beginning of the Hebrew calendar–coinciding with the earth moving into the galactic horizon on December 21, 2012.

The Mayan calendar which ends on December 21, 2012 began in the year 666 of the Hebrew calendar whose sum 18 makes the the word Chai/Life. The 666 refers to the life force that brings about conception–December 21, 2012 is the due date of earth birth happening in galactic proportions.

These last very hard hundred years are called in the Talmud-Book of Law Chevli Meshichai/Birth Pangs of Moshiach–being lined up with the center of the galaxy on December 21, 2012 is full dilation. Now is the time the world must come together and push.

Palestinian Speak

Israel has announced it will ease its blockade of the Gaza Strip. Both the Palestinian Authority and the Islamist group Hamas dismissed Israel's announcement, calling for a full lifting of restrictions.

God insisted that Jewish People live together with the Palestinian People 3500 years ago; a hundred years ago a famous cabalists made the following observation concerning the basic nature of the Palestinian. The Rebbe was not speaking politically, but intrinsically.

The Rebbe writes, The Palestinians are happy just to hang around and laugh, saying vain and stupid words that have no point other than to openly express their heart; similarly, on the spiritual side the Palestinians can open the essence of their soul and be happy for no reason.

Every people have traits that can be used for good or bad because every trait is double-sided. In the Talmud-Book of Law the Movai HaPalestiat/Open Alley is related to the Palestinian People whose words are always blowing through the streets. The Torah is called Torat Emet/Teaching of Truth. So why would God want these two people living together?

Opening one’s soul and being happy just to do the commandments of God is considered the greatest of joys and the highest of service. Obviously, God wants the spiritual traits of both peoples together–unwarranted happiness combined with the study and fulfillment of the commandments.

God Burns Cross

Monroe, Ohio: fire officials set damage at $300,000 after lightning struck burning down a 62-foot-high Jesus Christ "King of Kings" cross adjacent to the Solid Rock Church.

Divine intervention is metered out from the heavens and there are many instances throughout the Torah relating such stories, but in modern times these events are called accidents–there is insurance. God is referred to as Zion/Rock because God always was and always will be.

Everything about this complex is strong: the name Solid Rock, the number 62 related to the essential animal and the cross a symbol of the previous world Tohu/Chaos where the animal derives its strength; but, the Midrash-Book of Metaphor points out the weak letters of the Hebrew alphabet are those with only one leg, like the cross.

The Cabala teaches how the Seven Kings of Tohu broke and died seeding our world with life in the form of spiritual letters as reflected in the various forms of DNA; The seven attributes lined up one behind the other beneath the triangle of the head forming the cross.

When God goes out to war God goes out alone; God is forever at war with the idol and the arrogance of man. When God displays anger the world suffers. God wants the good deeds of human beings towards each other and towards the world.

Blood of Life

More than one third of the life-saving blood donations worldwide are made by people under the age of 25, the United Nations World Health Organization announced June 14 on the occasion of World Blood Donor Day.

The human being is called with the general name Adom which can be broken down into Aleph/1; Dom/Blood–the oneness of the soul is in the blood. Murder is called Shikfit Domim/Spilling Blood–the opposite is giving blood to save lives.

It is taught in the Talmud-Book of Law that the soul is invested in the blood, it is one of the 613 Commandments to the Jewish People to cover the blood of an animal after slaughter as a sign of respect. It is also a commandment not to drink blood.

The body is infused with soul from the brain which has very little blood thus able to receive the fire from the soul translating fire into electrical impulses and chemical reactions sending messages to the heart. Life depends upon the heart passing the soul through the blood to the limbs of the body.

The Cabala considers the heart and the lungs to be one–the blood is in the left side and the air in the right side, together they receive the fire from the soul after being diffused through the brain. Blessed are the youth who willingly give their soul to the sick.

The Wet of Mars

A vast ocean likely covered one-third of the surface of Mars some 3.5 billion years ago, according to a new study conducted by University of Colorado at Boulder scientists.

The Torah is divided between the revealed part of the Torah, meaning the law and the hidden part of the Torah, meaning the Zohar-Book of Secret plus the Cabala, key to the Zohar. In the revealed part of the Torah Mars is called Meadom/Red Maker but in the Zohar, Mars is called Ztia/Dry.

A planet can only be dry once it is wet, but the scientists using the earth as their model have theorized a wrong conclusion. The water was within Mars. According to the Cabala the symmetry and nature of the planets replicates the the Tree of Life, the Ten Sefirot/Lumminaries; the supple earth with a core of molten lead sporting blue, white and green corresponds to Chesed/Kindness, the forth sefira.

Mars is red corresponding to Gevorah/Severity, the firth sefira. Mars has no atmosphere because the core is made from ice as explained in the beginning of the Zohar-Book of Secret. On earth when we hit the rock fire in the form of sparks are emitted, but on Mars when you hit the rock water comes out.

The previous world Tohu/Confusion is identified as Mars where the vessel broke seeding our world with life.

The Apology

June 13, 2010

The Pope apologized for the sexual abuse scandal saying, We beg forgiveness from God and from the persons involved, promising to do everything possible to ensure such abuse will never happen again.

For crimes against God one merely has to ask forgiveness and God who is all merciful will forgive, but crimes against people even God can not forgive. Jewish Law provides some guidance in how to achieve forgiveness from the individual by confronting the victim directly and specifically enumerating the crimes perpetrated by the priest.

The victim has the right to refuse the apology causing the perpetrator to do further introspection and after waiting an appropriate amount of time asking again for forgiveness; after three attempts the perpetration is not required to ask again.

A public show of apology can be helpful in the process, but without direct negotiations with each individual victim the public apology is only a vain display of arrogance. The Church fearing humiliation wants to apologize then move on, but this systemic thousand year problem of priests abusing children requires major change not a general apology.

One of the commandments common to all people in the world is the protection of animals–children are compared to animals because they are defenseless, easily manipulated and hurt. If the individual does not forgive the Church neither will God–as a result the Church will fall and die.

Sailing With God

Abby Sunderland a California teenage sailor attempting to circumnavigate the world was rescued when her boat capsized in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Abby was quoted as saying, God was implicit in her life and her dream to sail around the world. In the Talmud-Book of Law asked the question–who is a Chasid? The term Chasid/Exemplary Person is disputed amongst the Rabbis as to the nature of the Chasid.

Some say the Chasid could not be one who drives donkeys because they are renowned for drinking and fighting; others say perhaps those who drive camel because they are for long periods of time without water–but, all agree a Chasid is a sailor.

Being on the sea is the most ephemeral of experiences; it is where we meet God in the incidences of life, but out at sea incidences never stop. The enormity of the ocean and smallness of the craft make for a perfect setting to engage God.

What God wants most of all is to have a relationship with the human being; when we dream of the precarious is when we dream to be close to God–those who carry our their dreams, whether they reach their goals or not, are heros. In Hebrew Hero is Gebor/Strong; to engage God one must be strong.

Illegal Plants

The seven richest countries consume 84% of the world's supply of legal opiates. For the estimated 10 million people who are suffering from untreated pain, relief is often found only on the black market, or in death.

It is explained in the Cabala how life growing on the surface of the earth is indicative of new essential energy entering into the world; the Talmud-Book of Metaphor says, a blade of grass can not germinate until a star beam touches the plant with instructions to grow.

Astronomy assures us there are more stars in the sky than there are blades of grass on the earth, but the government has intervened between the plant and the human imposing tight restrictions. The beastly government has imposed his will between the human and the vegetation resulting in world pain.

There is much we learn from plants, like how longevity is linked to the depths of the roots and how migration of seeds happens through the natural interaction with animals and birds. The beasts of the forest ravage the land, but the human animal is the worst. How can plants be illegal?

There is no plant, piece of earth or animal which is illegal in the Torah–what is illegal is how we used the earth, the plants and the animals. Our environment is polluted through the greed of the governments providing war to the populous.

Year of the Priests

Thousands of Roman Catholic clergy are in Rome to mark the end of the church-designated "Year for Priests." But the celebrations are overshadowed by the worldwide clerical sex abuse scandal.

In the Torah the priests who worked in the Temple in Jerusalem were called Cohanim–an inherited post dating back to Aaron brother of Moshe who brought the Jewish People out of slavery to become a free nation. Aaron was the first priest and his brother Moshe was the first and only celibate.

Fifty days after leaving Egypt the Jewish People arrived at Har Sinai/Mount Hatred and there received the Torah/Teaching. A few days before the giving of the Torah all the people were commanded to separate man from woman–a prohibition removed afterwards from everyone with the exception of Moshe, to his wife’s dismay.

According to the Torah Moshe was closer to God than human had achieved, therefore Moshe was forbidden any other preoccupation or connection. The Cohanim until today trace back to Aaron whose purity was unequaled, yet the law of the priest is they must marry if they wish to work in the Temple.

Christianity has exploited the Torah and her ways to give birth to religion which arrogantly demands respect for their dogma which has no basis in Torah or any other tradition. Who dares to celebrates the Year of the Priest?

The Urians

The UN Security Council has voted in favor of fresh sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor teaches, During the last days before Moshiach the Arab People will become very strong, but then they will fall and Persia will be predominant until Moshiach arrives. The type of Islam practiced by the Iranian Shiites focuses on Moshiach; the word Iranian mean Aryan.

The people of the world 4000 years ago called them Urians because they had been sent forth by their father, Avraham who had come from Ur Chasdim/Fire of Chasdim. The ancient city of Ur in Iraq is where Avraham first stepped foot on this earth from the planet Mars as hinted at in the name Ur Chasdim.

Avraham was famous plus having come from the Tower of Babel built on Mars brought to the earth a new language. The Cabala says, Avraham knew the 22 movements of the mouth from which he fashioned Arabic for his son Ishmael, Hebrew for his son Yitzchok and then sent his other children off to the East with Sanskrit. Linguists can trance the Indo-European language back to a small tribe of Urians.

All interested parties in resolving the conflict in Israel have in common Moshiach–the Christian West, the Muslim Mid-East and the Jewish People.

Where is Home

June 8, 2010

Longtime White House scribe Helen Thomas fired after declaring that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and go back to Germany and Poland.

There is no Hell and there is no Palestine, but there are anti-Semites; the Zohar-Book of Secret says, the eyes and ears are open to the world, but the mouth works only from free will. What is hidden in the heart is revealed through the mouth.

Helen Thomas said what many people think-the Jewish People are not indigenous to the Middle East, which is not true. Though Palestinians are not Arab they are on the most part Muslim. Billions of Muslims against 15 million Jews, half of which are in Israel.

In the long history of the Middle East there was never a Palestine; 2000 years ago after destroying the Temple in Jerusalem and scattering the Jewish People into the diaspora Rome changed the name of Israel to Palestine in remembrance to our ancient enemy–but, it was only in name and never in governance.

Ignorant intellectuals like Helen Thomas muddy the waters. The Jewish People have a genetic fingerprint and it is not from Europe. If the Arab People would accept the Jewish People as brother there would be no problem in sharing the Middle East and no need for violence.

The Uncelebrated

June 7, 1929 Vatican City became a sovereign independent State. Vatican City is approximately 110 acres with a population of around 800 and is ruled by the Bishop of Rome–the Pope.

Premier Mussolini destined to become the fascist leader of Italy during World War Two represented King Victor Emmanuel; it had been a five month process from the signing of the treaty until the deliverance of the deed plus a check for 39 million dollars. There is no celebration on this day.

What is interesting is the dates of the treaty and the day that Mussolini came to the Pope fall on significant days in the Hebrew calendar. February 11th was the first day of the new moon of Adar, the month in which a great miracle was made for the Jewish People; the new moon of Adar begins the time of happiness.

June 7th of that year was the second day of Shavuot when the giving of the Torah is celebrated; the second day is celebrated only in exile. It is in the incidences of time where God is seen and deeper understanders can occur.

The Jewish and Roman Peoples are forever tied together as the Torah says, As Rome rises Israel falls and as Israel rises Rome falls; these two twin progenitors of peoples, Yaakov and Esau, who struggled out of the womb continue until today.

Aging Happiness

A large Gallup poll has found that by almost any measure, people get happier as they get older, and researchers are not sure why.

The Bal Shem Tov, Jewish mystic 250 years ago, taught how children and grandparents have a natural affinity since they have a common enemy–the parents. Children are naturally happy as are the elderly, the years in between are filled with aspirations trying to attain happiness.

The Torah/Teaching explains how the child has recently come from the soul and elderly are going back to the soul, the middle age is full of striving for more. Many save for their old age only to find things do not suffice– the power of the soul is more alluring.

The Cabala explains how the power of the soul derives ability from staring into the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd from where she was hewn; the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd is a reflection of the Creator–seeing is pleasure. The child still sees heaven and the elders begin to remember.

What is happiness and why is the most productive part of life the most unhappy? The Torah teaches, we go down to go up; the most down time is the time away from the soul–furthest from heaven. The way the soul gets closer to God is through coming down to the earth to perfect physicality.

Food for Politics

Commandos boarded the MV Rachel Corrie cargo ship as it made its way to the Gaza Strip in an attempt to break the Israel-imposed sea blockade.

Rachel Corrie was the name of the young woman from Seattle who tried to stand up against an Israeli bulldozer losing her life–pointless as this ongoing conflict. The name Rachel is famous in the Torah for being one of the four wives who produced the 12 Tribes of Yisroel/Israel.

Rachel is buried just outside of Bethlehem where it says she cries for the Jewish People living in exile–even in Israel the Jewish People are in exile. Since the beginning of the Jewish nation politics has been her downfall. Politics caused the people to wander 40 years in the wilderness and it was politics that caused the earth to open and swallow the camp of Korek–a family amongst the holiest of the tribes.

Politics is the art of posturing, a thing embellished by Rome then exported throughout the world; politics is the science of the lie. Dovid who built Jerusalem was beloved by God because he was not a politician–Dovid means Beloved.

The Cabala explains how Rachel represents true speech and proper action; Rachel means Lamb and it also means Soft. The softness has gone out of the world, the lamb has nowhere to pasture and Rachel cries.

The Jewish People

Using sophisticated genomic analysis, scientists have probed the ancestry of several Jewish populations. This study shows that although the Jewish people experienced genetic mixing with surrounding populations, they retained a genetic coherence.

The Jewish People are a people–one of the two Semitic Peoples, Arab and Jewish. People who claim Jewish is a religion are unaware that there is no word in Hebrew for religion, the word Dat/Law is used instead. Being a people held together by DNA instead of some common theology is far more stable.

From the inception of the Jewish People 3500 years ago Gerim/Strangers were allowed to join with the Jewish People accounting for other genetic strains, but the Jewish DNA remains unchanged.

The Ger Ztadik/Righteous Stranger assumes the obligation of the 613 Commandments written in the Torah. The Ger Tashav/Dwelling Stranger are those who wish to live and learn from the Jewish People while remaining obligated only to the Seven Commandments of Noah. The Jewish People are required to bring both types of Jewish converts into the community and treat them properly for we were also strangers in a strange land.

Jewish Law corroborated by the Cabala traces Jewish through the soul–the first born of human souls passed on through the mother. The DNA is expressed in the body but the soul is expressed through the Torah.

Almost Perfect

With two outs in the ninth inning the first-base umpire erroneously called the Cleveland Indians’ Jason Donald safe on a close play at first base preventing Detroit’s Armando Galarraga becoming the 20th pitcher, and third in the last four weeks, to throw a perfect game.

There has never been three perfect games thrown in one year and now there were almost three after the first third of the season. Perfection like truth has three levels: lips, mouth and breath. Similarly a perfect game in baseball requires the pitcher, the players and the umpires all to be perfect.

The idea of perfection seduces the human spirit because perfect is whole; wholeness in Hebrew is termed Shalom/Peace. Seeing perfection in any part of life brings peace to the world. The public is infuriated at the official who was imperfect in his call and later apologized, but the players understand the game is one of perfection.

The game of baseball is metaphoric to life on earth where God pitches and we catch, but there always seems something between the person and God trying to hit the thing away and score a run against us; there are errors and bad officiating–there is the home team advantage and there are times you are away.

The Cabalistic Tree of Life can be drawn out to look like a baseball diamond; the batter, the tenth player who turns towards the other nine is a perfect replica of how the Ten Sefirot function.

Form vs Substance

Google's alleged transitioning of its employees away from Windows-based systems out of concerns for security which resulted in the theft of intellectual property shows on a vulnerability in Internet Explorer.

The difference between Microsoft and Macintosh is emblematic of a deep spiritual divide which is transitioning in our time from substance to form. Microsoft language is letter-number oriented while Macintosh is iconic based. The Torah prophesied a future visual language of world-wide proportions.

Science informs us as to the particularization of matter in the same way the Cabala teaches concerning the spiritual hierarchy of creation made of ethereal substance, but what we see is the form not the substance. Earth at her lowest level is but dust and ashes–where we came from, where we are going.

The form is temporal like a bubble upon the stream and all creation before God is like a bubble embedded within the light of creation. The world is bogged down with particulars whose value is the coin of the realm redeemable in silver, gold or the promise of governments.

The human being naturally sees form before the surprise of substance, yet within substance is buried a deep pleasure; but substance can be stolen whereas form is forever changing. In Cabala this is referred to Kly/Vessel and and Ore/Light; light seeks the proper vessel.

Brotherly Love

Israel faces intense international condemnation and growing domestic questions after a raid by naval commandos killed nine people on an aid flotilla bound for Gaza.

The laws of war as defined in the Torah provides an escape for those trapped to encourage peace through negotiations; Israel has always been judged on a higher standard than the rest of the world and the Jewish People have accepted that standard to make ourselves better.

When we fall, we fall a long ways. It was only 60 years ago when the British were taking the same actions against the Jews trying to makes their way to Israel; force as a deterrent only infuriates those being ruled–Israel must not fight a war against the entire Middle East, it is unthinkable.

It says in the Torah that all the ways of Torah/Teaching are ways of Sholom/Peace. Sholom also means Complete because without peace nothing is complete. The dream of love and peace from the Sixties has not diminished in the heart of man, but the malignancy of politics and war has increased many fold.

The Torah teaches that the greatest love is between brothers and it is during times like this that needs to be remembered and understood that the Jewish and Arab Peoples are brothers coming from one father Avraham 4000 years ago.

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.

Crossing up America

The U.S. Supreme Court overturned a ruling ordering the removal of a cross from a World War I memorial; Justice Anthony Kennedy stated the cross was a war memorial rather than religious creed.

What better memorial to war than the cross–the hilt of the sword. The cross has long been the symbol of death particularly since Christianity decided on the impaling Jesus upon the cross; the primordial origin of the cross is in the planet Mars the god of war to whom Rome who lives by the sword prayers.

The Cabala explains how the upper three Sefirot/Luminaries of the Tree of Life corresponding to the two hemispheres of the brain plus the third eye did not break when the vessel of Tohu, the previous world broke and each of the seven remaining sefirot lined up one behind the other.

The animal derives from Tohu where the seven emotions lined up one behind the other and therefore all animals mate from the back–only the human being mates face to face. By connecting the dots of the triangle of the head the form of a serpent arises.

The cross is the most anti-Semitic symbol in the world portending to a vicious story that never happened–Jesus crucified on the cross; it is the lie which is the crux of religion causing war throughout the world.

Noah’s Ark Discovered

Explorers say wooden remains discovered on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey are the remains of Noah's Ark, "It's not 100 percent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it." 

There is a generality established concerning the study of the Torah–Torah can not be taken out of its simple meaning; those who wish to reduce the Torah to metaphor or meaningless story miss the point of the Torah–God’s participation in the story of creation.

Corroboration of ancient stories should have a calming effect upon our world where people for centuries have been taught theory over story, theories that leave God out of the equation. Could it be the human being and the animal evolved in a different manner from the evolution taught in schools?

In the Talmud-Book of Law this world is called Olam D’Shikra/The False World; those purveyors of lies and misinformation become wealthy and powerful in this world but but their deeds are deemed pointless in the spirit world. It is through the falseness that the truth can be seen as the Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, Light out of darkness is the greater light–it is why we see from the black pupil of the eye.

The Cabala teaches how the Ark was called Tava/Word, thus proclaiming the Ark to be a floating prayer amid the troubled waters of the flood.

The Creation Story

According to renowned British scientist Stephen Hawking, aliens could be more interested in exploiting our natural resources than sharing their technology with us.

In a new TV series Hawking explains the derivation of the universe from well known scientific dogma such as the Big Bang, theorizing that creation happened spontaneously 13 billion years ago rendering the earth and the human experience less than minuscule before the whole of creation.

Given a scenario of haphazard creation might lead one to think there are other beings out there as predatory and fixated on survival as ourselves–this is incorrect. The biggest wrong assumption of science is their incremental system of progression based on a few centuries of observation and oftentimes even less.

According to the Torah the symmetry of creation is derived through the utilization of four letters YHVH the cause of diversity in time, matter and energy. Without acknowledging the prime mover, the Creator, science descends into mythology along with religion. The Creator loves creation.

Avraham 4000 years ago writing in the beginning of the Sefer Yetzira/Book of Form says, Creation is made from three Seferim: Sofer/Writer, Sefer/Book and Ztipor/Story; God writes the story of creation in the book heaven, but it is the human being with freedom of choice who narrates and produces the story.

Solar System Symmetry

A European-built spacecraft has used its solar wings as sails to skim through the sweltering atmosphere of Venus at the planet's outermost border with space.

Scientists wonder at the diversity found in the nine planets of our solar system; traditional thinking being that the process of producing planets should have produced similar types of celestial bodies instead of the diverse nature found in our solar system.

According to the Cabala the symmetry of our solar system is a clear reflection from the four spirit worlds arranged according to the Tree of Life–Ten Sefirot/Luminaries divided into three sections corresponding to the human body. The sun and Mercury represent the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

The soul connects with the right side of the brain epitomized by the sun which is never separated from the left as represented by the planet Mercury–Venus is the third eye. It is the light of the third eye which animates the rest of the body–the two lower triangles.

Blue earth corresponds to the attribute of Chesed/Kindness found in the right arm, red Mars the virtue of Gevorah/Severity found in the left arm and the largest planet Jupiter Tefirit/Beauty, a mixture of many colors, the torso; Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the legs and the sex–all three sport rings.

The Money Fuckers

Senior staffers at the Securities and Exchange Commission spent hours surfing pornographic websites on government-issued computers while they were being paid to police the financial system, an agency watchdog says.

Money like pornography is the lowest common denominator–a manufactured exterior expression that has nothing to do with essence. Money might sparkle and gleam but its true worth is only in its metal. It was Nixon who took us off the gold standard replacing it with a promissory note from the government.

Money like pornography is used for quick transactions and whenever there a transaction there is always peripheral spinoffs that stimulates the economy; when the economy is sluggish the money managers encourage transactions and when a relationship is sluggish people turn to pornography. Money and sexual exploitation are the two sides to coin of our country.

In the Torah people and land are considered valuable; they were the currency and each had a regulated worth in silver allowing people to be sold–it was called slavery. In the Talmud-Book of Law are outlined many laws concerning the proper treatment and obligation of the master to the slave which include taking care of his family and giving him work suited to him.

The Cabala considers money, Kesef/Silver related to the word Kesofta/Unbridled Desire; society needs to be tempered with laws and prohibitions so desire can be spontaneous and free.

Law of the Land

The Supreme Court has invalidated a federal law that had criminalized the sale of certain depictions of animal cruelty.

There were seven commandments given to Adom and Chava (Adam and Eve) for their progeny to follow 1)not to serve idols, 2)not to use God’s Name in vain 3)not to murder 4)not to steal 5)make laws protecting animals, 6)make laws concerning sexuality, 7)make courts of law to administer justice.

If the human being lives according to these dictates than you are cool with the Creator–no religion necessary. The first four commandments require definition of terms: idols, Name, Stealing and Murder but the last three commandments are up to human discretion–

It is through courts of law to limit the predatory nature of man by protecting animals and human expression; the Talmud-Book of Law says, Dina Machota Dina/Law of the Land is the Law–as long as it does not contradict the Torah.

The Cabala includes the human being into the animal kingdom and calls the angels Behama Raba/Large Animals. The Torah has additional commandments regarding the prohibition of causing suffering to animals; the animal soul flows in the blood of the human–Torah law can guide secular law if religion does not get in the way.

Earth Week Ends

At a White House reception, Obama called Earth Day, A bright moment in our nation's history and a milestone in the ongoing fight to protect our environment.

The Zohar-Book of Secrets written 2000 years ago describes and names the nine planets starting from Pluto to Mercury; the name of earth is Tavel–a word related to the commingling of human and animal. The human being is a mixture of the human soul encased in an animal body.

The sun and the nine planets signify the Ten Seferit/Luminaries called the Tree of life. The diversity of the planets which baffles astronomers is clarified through the Cabala which attributes the attributes of each planet through color and form. Earth is considered the fulcrum of the planets as it says, On Tavel is Justice.

Earth herself is made in the form of the Ten Seferot as the Zohar says, The low earth is formed according to the high earth–our solar system where life is found on the outer seven planets. Similarly, the earth is formed from seven continents that support life and three oceans that hide life like the angles are hidden in heaven.

These three oceans and seven continents are considered an awakening embryonic form–the Mediterranean is her sex, the land of Israel her womb and the city of Jerusalem the entrance into women.

Win or Lose

Baseball’s San Francisco Giants pitcher Jonathan Sanchez facing the San Diego Padres for just the second time since he no-hit them last July throw a one hitter and lost 1-0.

After 29 games during a 52 year history the team lost after holding the opponent to one or less hits; the Giants had six hits but failed to score. What does it mean to throw the same game, win one and lose one?

From a Torah prospective these numbers and events are interesting because 52, which is twice the number of the YHVH, is called in the Cabala Baan the composite of the two letter making the number 52; Baan is the spiritual essence of the animal, Mah/What-45 is the spiritual essence of the human–there are 29 books, including the Five Migalot/Scrolls, in the Torah.

The animal soul conducts the movements of the body as the Torah says, The soul is in the blood–referring to the animal soul of Baan. The minute movements required to hit a ball going a hundred miles an hour or to throw a ball that fast at a small target requires the body to be a perfect vehicle for the soul; the slightest errant thought or erratic movement can mean disaster.

The Talmud-Book of Law says, If God does not stand with us, no matter our strength or agility, we can stand alone.

The Commandment

Seattle City Council approved an ordinance that allows police to give tickets to aggressive beggars.

They should try giving them food and shelter maybe the beggars would not be so aggressive. Of all the 613 Commandments only charity is called HaMitzvah/The Commandment. The Torah teaches that one should thank the poor because without them we could not do The Mitzvah. The poor pay with what they inevitably say, God bless you.

God introduced poverty and sickness into the world because God is crowned with the beauty of prayers and without trouble and difficulty who would pray? It is why Jewish Law maintains one should pray on an empty stomach because beautiful prayers come out of the difficulty of poverty and sickness.

The Cabalistic reason why prayers are beautiful is because each one is different; Tiferit/Beauty is composed of multiple colors. Each prayer is like a distinct color in the ethereal light which crowns the Creator–King of the World.

There is no shame in asking for what we need, not from God and not from man. Institutionalized charities have robbed the people from helping directly and turned The Commandment into a business. Charity is called The Commandment because it includes all commandments–in the end we are all just a begging bowl before God.

Why 420

According to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos.

The question is not about how this custom began but why it persists until becoming a world-wide phenomenon–smoking herb at 4:20. The Torah, particularly the Cabala provides answers.

Ashun/Smoke has a gematria of 420; also the three letters which make up the word Ashun are an acrostic for Olam/World, Shana/Time and Nefesh/Soul. When the Torah was given on Har Sinai the mountain Ashun/Smoked. The first ingredient of Ketoret/Incense is KaneBusim/Good Smell–Cannabis was also used in the inner service of the Temple–known to stand against plagues and rid the Temple of insects.

Herb was introduced into the world during the time of Avraham 4000 years ago; Avraham brought this special plant from Mars where the Tower of Babel had been erected–at the end of his life, Avraham sends his children that he has with Ketoret off to the east with gifts.

When one goes up to read the Torah before the congregation he is given an Aliah/Getting High–In the Torah God is referred to as, On High. To get high is to get closer to God through on the world stuck in time with our souls.

The Light of the Moon

Light bounced off reflectors on the Moon is fainter than expected and mysteriously dims even more whenever the Moon is full.

The Talmud-Book of Law teaches, A full vessel is a weak vessel, but a empty vessel is strong. When speaking about vessels, the emptiness reveals the vessel. The moon represents the feminine receiving the light of the sun and giving birth on the earth to a gentle illumination that does not hurt the eyes.

Woman is regulated by the 28 day workings of the moon causing her to cleanse the vessel through menstruation. A virgin woman is considered a sealed vessel not yet opened, not yet even a vessel just the potential to become one–the difference between girl and woman.

The moon is also reminiscent of Shakina from the word Shuna/Neighbor the female presence of God that hovers upon the earth soothing our fears. The Hebrew calendar is regulated by the moon but in order to keep the holidays in their season an extra month is added every few years.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor relates how the sun and the moon were the same size at the beginning of creation but the moon made herself diminutive so the sun could display his ego. In the words of James Brown, Its a man’s world but it an nothing without a woman or a girl.

The Repentant

"I must say, we Christians have often avoided the word 'repent' which seemed too tough. But now under attack from the world we realize that it's necessary to repent" Pope Benedict said.

Rebbe Yehuda HaNasi who compiled the Mishna/Learning, seminal seed of the Talmud/Book of Law 2000 years ago is quoted as saying, By looking into three things a person will be prevented from doing wrong: know there is a presence above you, the eye sees the ear hears, and everything we do is inscribed into the book.

The Torah teaches that the worst pain after death is looking into that book and being embarrassed. The Book of Esther, which comes from the word Hester/Hidden because God’s Name is never mentioned, relates how the king commands the evil Hammon to hurry and bring the vestments to honor Mordicai the leader of the Jewish People

Hammon secretly was plotting to kill Mordicai and all the Jewish People in the Persian empire 2500 years ago. The Cabala points out that he must hurry because once Moshiach comes he will not longer be able to repent.

Tshuva/Repentance is rooted in the word Tshuv/Return; Charzir/Pig also means to return and Hadar/Beautiful has the same meaning in Aramaic. The pig because he only has the outer manifestation of kosher is considered the epitomization of the hypocrite, but if he hurries and repents he can make it beautiful.

King Coin

Goldman Sachs was accused of securities fraud for selling a mortgage investment that was secretly intended to fail.

Bob said, Steal a little and they put you in jail, steal a lot and the make you king. We live in a kingdom of money where the royalty fights to be king, but America is famous for rejecting kings–we are a democracy based on liberty and freedom.

We are free to speak and there is really only one thing to say–fuck you: Fornication Under Consent of the King; those who hold power by virtue of money have had their hypocrisy exposed–actions that infuriates the common citizen.

The Torah teaches about land and family being the kingdom of earth; corporation had not yet been invented for the purpose of manipulation leading to subjugation. One of the signs of servitude from ancient Egypt as recorded in the Torah was to continually move the workforce to separate the people from the land.

Money in modern day Hebrew is Chesef/Silver; the Cabala connects Chesef to Chesofta/Unbridled Desire which when directed towards God reflects the light back, called Ore Chazor/Returning Light. A mirror is covered by a thin layer of silver, if the silver is too thick the light is absorbed instead of reflected.

Quakes Belches and Burns

A fireball was seen in several Midwestern states; ash from a volcano erupting in Iceland has forced the closure of airports in Britain and a 7.1 magnitude earthquake which hit China two seeks ago has caused massive destruction.

There has been a lot of geological disturbances lately throughout the earth following a large solar flare from the sun a few months ago as noted by astronomers who follow the 11 year cycle of the sun.

The earth is passing some gas and cracking some bones because the earth is a live entity. The sun and the earth are yawning awake perhaps in preparation for the the winter solstice of 2012 when the earth lines up with the center of the galaxy as predicted by the 5000 year Mayan calendar ending on that date.

The Rambam who collected the laws concerning the 613 Commandments writes that the soul has more cognition of God than the angels and the angels have more cognition than the planets, but the human has the least cognition of all–witnessed by our failed attempts to find conscious life in outer space.

All things in creation have cognition of the Creator. The Zohar-Book of Secret teaches that the sun and planets represent the human body, these ten luminaries are replicated on the earth consisting of seven continents and three oceans; the human body as depicted in the Cabala is made of Ten Sefirot–the Cabalistic atom.

Money and Power

Tea Party supporters are wealthier and more well-educated than the general public, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

In every movement forward there is a corresponding resistance; in political language this resistance to change is called the Status Quo. American education focuses on making money and staying in power.

The Cabala explains, found in very movement forward are two extremities and the center; the center is where the stability lies; the extremities pull against one another, one side motivated by heaven and the other by earth–together, like the line on the horizon they merge in motion.

What makes this process interesting is the Yetzer Hora/Bad Picture–a force sent by God to tempt the human being by introducing pictures into the brain that inspire greed and avarice. The truth is seen in intention, as it says in the Talmud-Book of Law: Everything is known in heaven except for fear of heaven.

Fear is synonymous with with consciousness as seen in the word Yira/Fear connected to the word Riya/Sight; sight inspires fear–the more we see into the heavens the more conscious we are of the Creator who created heaven and earth. Only God knows what is intended in the heart and the heart is where intention becomes free will.

New Moon Iyar

The month of Iyar is the second of the twelve months of the Jewish calendar. It is the month that bridges Pesach and Shavuot, festivals that commemorate the Exodus from Egypt and the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai.

The names of the Jewish month are found in the Epic of Gilgimesh written hundreds of years before Avraham who lived 3800 hundred years ago; many of these ancient names have no meaning in Hebrew like Iyar. The 6000 year old Hebrew calendar, we are now at 5770, is an extension of the ancient Babylonian calendar.

Between Passover and Shavuot are forty-nine days during which the commandment of counting the days is carried out in increments of weeks. Today begins the third week called Tiferet/Beauty based on the lower seven of the Ten Sefirot which correspond to the seven days of the weeks and the 6000 years of creation plus the seventh thousandth year of peace and women.

Each day also corresponds with one of the seven outer planets–this week Tiferet/Beauty is Jupiter which is certainly beautiful; the first day correlates to the earth which is Chesed/Kindness. Kindness and beauty are represented in today.

The first 33 days are an inward process of repairing the subtleties of these seven primal qualities; the last 16 days are of going out culminating with the receiving of the Torah on day 50. The Cabala explains that fifty is forever.

Tripping Out

Scientists are taking a new look at hallucinogens using rigorous protocols and safeguards, scientists have won permission to study the potential for treating mental problems and illuminating the nature of consciousness.

The biggest casualty of the war on drugs are all the people who could have valued from their use; from psychosis to depression hallucinogens have been used forever by indigenous peoples to break through spiritual and physical boundaries. A realignment of the senses helps to alter habitual negative behavior.

The war on drugs hurts the needy while rewarding the drug companies and their habituating mind altering drugs which render the human being docile and easily manipulated by those in power. Natural drugs are illegal because the government can not control them–the limit of statutory freedom.

The only plants in the Torah that are illegal are the fruits of a tree during the first three years of growth or any food grown during the Shemita–the seven year intervals of resting the land. Hallucinogens were used in the incense burnt in the Temple.

Without the use of hallucinogens the Cabala describes in minute detail the workings of the brain and how the soul infuses into the flesh to bring about consciousness. Scientist look out into space searching for conscious beings, but the truth is everything is conscious of the Creator–it can be no other way.

Polish Plane Crash

Poles mourn President Lech Kaczynski, the first lady and scores of others who died in a plane crash in western Russia amid questions about the obsolete fleet used to ferry the country's military and political elite.

The Talmud-Book of Law relates a story of a boy who under his father’s command climbs a tree, swooshes away the mother bird and takes the eggs–the only two of the 613 Commandments in the Torah promising long life–but the ladder broke, the boy fell and died.

A man watching became a heretic because the boy obeyed both his father in earth and in heaven, yet died; the Rabbis said, They should have checked the ladder, don’t rely on a miracle–others say, Long life can also mean a long stay in heaven before reincarnating.

It is a Jewish custom to say upon hearing the news of death, Barach Dayin HaEmet/God is the True Judge; the Jewish People for hundreds of years wandering through Europe were only welcomed in Poland. The buffer between Europe and Russia, Poland has spilt much blood.

They were attending the commemoration of the anniversary to a bloodletting that happened 70 years before; the Torah always speak in terms of the 70 nations of the earth; the Cabala explains the Adom/Human can be understood as Aleph/1 in the Dom/Blood–the soul is in the blood.

Church Dying

The gross mishandling in child sex abuse cases by Pope Benedict XVI for the "good of the Universal Church" needing to be weighed when considering whether to defrock a young pedophile priest is another nail into the Catholic coffin.

There is no word in the ancient spiritual languages like Arabic, Hebrew and Sanskrit for religion, a recent addition to spiritual traditions. The world religion means “to link back” which is precisely what religion has done–exploited spiritual knowledge–the father of religion is Rome.

Rome is now encapsulated in the Vatican situated upon many hidden treasures like the Golden Candelabra taken from the Temple as famously portrayed on the Gates of Titus who triumphantly took the light from Israel and brought it to Rome where it was hidden. Rome did not fall Rome morphed into the Holy Roman Church.

Two thousand years ago in Israel windows were formed wide on the outside to gather the sunlight then funneled inward to focus the light; in the Temple the windows were wide within to convey the light to the world as described in the Talmud-Book of Law. The light seen at death is the thread from the soul which animates the body, but the Church has no soul.

The Cabala explains the phrase Tov Maod/Very Good referring to the the creation of death which is very good for the world. As the Church dies many secrets are being revealed.

Venus Alive

April 10, 2010

Signs of recent lava flows suggest Venus is geologically alive, for the first time scientists have detected clear signs of recent lava flows on the surface of Venus.

According to the hidden secrets of the Torah life exists on the outer seven planets of our solar system, but it is promised in the future three worlds will be added equaling ten the fundamental number of creation. Ten is reflected in the earth with seven continents and three oceans.

Scientists wonder at the diversity of the planets but according to the Cabala which describes creation in terms of Ten Sefirot/Luminaries the sun and nine planets are precisely described. During the the seven weeks between Passover and the holiday of Shavuot-celebrating the giving of the Torah the Jewish People count each day, seven times seven.

It is said that Moshe who received the Torah was able to ascend forty nine levels, but not the fiftieth called, the Fifty Gates of Bena/Understanding. Moshe was buried in Nun which is the name of the letter which represents the number fifty in the Hebrew alphabet.

That scientists have found Venus erupting with life is yet another sign of the advent to the end of the 6000 year Hebrew calendar leading to a thousand years of peace and woman. The Mayan calendar which ends in two years signifies the End of Days, the end of the calendars.

Human Remains

Two 1.9 million-year-old skeletons found in a South African cave have added a new species of hominid dubbed Australopithecus sediba; the fossils provide rare insight into a period shrouded in paleontological mystery.

There are two ways according to the Torah to explain these discoveries. It is written in the Midrash-Book of Metaphor how a third of the populous from those who went to Mars to build the Tower of Babel returned in the form of apes. Perhaps the traveling through space had an effect on their bodies making them date millions of years in the past?

It is also known that there are two descriptions of the famous Merkava/Chariot which hovers over creation and is replicated in smaller versions down to the mysterious vehicles that convey life through the blood streams and make organs operate. One description of the Merkave has three animals holding a chair with the face of a human, but the other description has a human being included with the three animals holding up the chair with a human face.

It is possible that human animals existed but died out along with so many other species that evolved into the animal soul which animates the human body.

The stories in the Torah are meant to be taken literally as modified by the Law, the Metaphor and the Secret. The key to learning Torah is never stray from the simple meaning of the text.

Global Cyberwar

Countries around the world are now preparing to fight a cyberwar thinking about how to attack the United States in cyberspace. Cyberwarfare is an entirely new phenomenon.

War is becoming spiritual, fought along the invisible connecting roads of the ephemeral internet; commerce, security and government agencies are vulnerable targets. War has evolved from flesh and blood into technology and like war, technology can be used for good or bad; because technology has no morals it is able to penetrate further into creation.

The Tower of Babel was erected on the planet Mars and the people who went there wanted to war with God. Their plan was to take the Shakina/Presence that sustains life like a hovering mother; this female Presence is very dear to the Creator who loathes seeing the energy of Shakina abused. God stopped the Tower of Babel by scrambling the language, not unlike cyberwar.

It is important that the human being control technology instead of technology controlling the world; there is a great danger in technological inspiration leading the world in purposeless progress.

The Torah gives purpose to life bringing close creation to the Creator; the Talmud-Book of Law sets the boundaries to life; the Midrash-Book of Metaphor supplies the story; and the Zohar-Book of Secret reveals the supernal intention. The Cabala unlocks the secrets through a clear elucidation to the workings of creation.

Cosmic Dust

Zodiacal light is a faint glow caused by millions of tiny particles along the western path followed by the sun, moon, and planets across our sky–this week is a good time to spot some.

Where are the sun, the moon and all the planets going? The Torah teaches that the Shakina/Presence is in the west and therefore all creation pursues Her because the Shakina is the spiritual manifestation of the feminine energy. In our haste we raise up dust.

The delineation between heaven and earth as described in the Talmud-Book of Law is in heaven life stands while on earth life walks; a sign of this are birds who do not walk but jump as if having only one foot. In Jewish prayer where the words of the angels are quoted it is customary to put the feet together and make a little jump in the midst of our supplications.

The Zohar-Book of Secret considers the entire solar system of ten physical orbs to be one world where the human being on the earth with seven continents and three oceans is patterned after. In the womb of the universe our little planet is where life is being conceived.

The continual life and death process of our earth is building a cosmic body racing to the Shakina; as scientists observe–the universe is speeding up and the dust is rising into the heavens.

Nuke the Nukes

A new American nuclear strategy will narrow the conditions under which the United States would use nuclear weapons.

Henry Miller famously wrote in his book The Time of the Assassins that if a handful of atoms could cause such destruction how much more so the atoms that make up a human being can potentially do so much good.

It is the constant degradation of the weak power within the atom that is accelerated in the bomb; if it was not for the weak power in the atom everything would be the same–it is the weak power which provides diversity. When diversity is constrained and manipulated destruction ensues.

The Torah through the Cabala regards the atom as the smallest vessel for the light; scientists note that gravity has minimal effect at the level of the atom–it is the law of light that commands the atom. At the place where the atom degrades into wave, like the eye of the storm, is void of activity–a void filled by our free will.

The Talmud-Book of Metaphor says nothing stands in the way of will; the prophets foresaw a future when the center of every atom will be filled with the Light of God and death and degradation will no longer exist–our will draws God’s Will.
