John Glenn is marking the 50th anniversary of his historic spaceflight today; the astronaut and senator from Ohio became the first American to orbit the Earth on Feb. 20, 1962, circling it three times in five hours.
In Torah Law, a Jewish slave who sells himself forever to his master because he loves being a slave to his master goes free after fifty years – therefore, fifty is considered forever. Fifty years ago the human being was slave to the earth, unable to leave the force of gravity.
After fifty years the world freely leaves the confines of Earth for the unending horizon of human imagination. There are five levels of Gevorah/Severity corresponding to the five hours; three revolutions – one is a dot, two is a line but three represents the triangulated continuum.
An act done three times constitutes a vow, an unbreakable pledge. Going around the world three times in five hours represented a national breakthrough, awakening the American spirit to greatness; since America is made of all peoples, the awakening was global in scope.
The Cabala teaches, When the Jewish People left Mitzriam/Egypt to become a nation 3500-years-ago, they became free from confine – living in a cloud, drinking water from a rock, eating bread that rained down from the heavens. Matzer/Confine is root to the word Mitzriam/Egypt.
