THE CABALA OF WATER

A stunning new animated video produced by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory estimating the circulation and climate of the Earth showcases the flow of the world's ocean currents swirling in a captivating splendor.

According to the Torah/Teaching, four elements make up the physical world: fire, air, water and earth derived from the Four Letter Name of God YHVH; though science has identified more than a hundred elements present in the earth, our perception tells us a different story.

We see and feel fire, we breath and intuit air while water and earth are more visceral. In the beginning of creation these four elements were layered according to heaviness: fire went up, air spread out while water covered the earth making terrestrial life impossible.

As a result of the Creator commanding water to seek depth, which is opposite from the nature of water to cover, water froze upon the surface instead of freezing from the center like all other elements. Water freezing on the surface instead of the center has saved aquatic life.

The water from the flood, which came from beyond the Earth 1666 years later, covered the earth in a veneer snuffing out life without having to inundate the oceans. The Cabala identifies water as the substance of life – moved by air, warmed by fire then absorbed into the earth.
