EXTREMISM IN AMERICA

President Obama said the Republican position, not accepting any tax increases as part of a deal to increase the debt limit is, Not sustainable, adding, Everybody else has been willing to move off their maximalist position; they need to do the same.

For people to live together all forms of extremism need to be moderated. The Cabala explains how existence is situated along three pillars: left, right and center; the human body is representative of this symmetry through the extremities of legs and arms.

The arms are an expression of the heart, the legs are an expression on the sex; even the two lobes of the brain are an expression of the third eye that knows. It is the center pillar that connects the heavens to the earth – a strong center moderates the extremes.

The first apparatus used to house the two cubes of the Ten Commandments was called the Mischon/Dwelling; the Torah describes large vertical beams held together by rods passing through at the two extremes – the middle pilar miraculously went around all fours sides as one.

The place of the president is to be a strong center force that mediates the extremes. America has been fighting extremism for so long that we have become sickened as a nation with this plague. A tree stands rooted in the ground so diversity can flourish.
