THE CABALA OF DARK MATTER

A lonely clump of dark matter 2.4 billion light-years from Earth is confounding scientists by its mere presence; galaxies are thought to reside inside larger masses of dark matter and to stay attached, these galaxies, left their dark matter cocoons in the dust.

The Cabala is able to explain this scientific dilemma by referring to the Zohar-Book of Secret describing creation as being engraved out of a Hard Light – a light without space or what we know as Dark Matter. A celestial breath engraved the Hard Light with letters.

From the breath was distilled water and out the water came fire; letters and their equivalent numbers, were strewn throughout creation – each a star of light or darkness. If so, what can account for a galaxy being free from the Black Matter that houses galaxies everywhere.

The Torah describes how the Ten Commandments were engraved, with the Finger of God, inside a sapphire cube from one side to the other, but miraculously read on both sides. All letters were attached to the stone but one – the letter Samach in the shape of a zero.

Miraculously, this one letter was not attached to the stone, but instead hung suspended in the hollow of the space; all creation is likened to the zero hanging in space, unattached to the place from where we were hewn out. From the separation comes the great longing to reconnect.
