THE CABALA OF WAR

The Pentagon announced last week that the military would now allow women to serve in jobs that would bring them closer to combat.

There is a very pragmatic reason why women are rarely let into combat – seeing a woman injured demoralizes a man more than seeing his male counterpart hurt. The root to this disparity is found in the primal sexual competition between the sperm trying to reach the egg.

The few thousand eggs a woman is born with are limited in number due to the woman’s inability to produce new cells; whereas the sperm of the male is without limit – the melding of finite and infinite produces a vehicle able to drawn down spiritual life into a physical body.

The Cabala explains, the bigger the vessel the less the light but the smaller the vessel, like the tip of a lightening bolt, the greater the light. The odds of one to infinity compels the male to protect the female; Rape is rampant in war because the sperm becomes energized.

The essential nature of men and women are distinctly different and war is no place to seek an egalitarian compromise. Men kill to protect the women and children because they are the future. The hope of all parents everywhere is for the children to live in secure peace.
