CABALA (KABBALAH) OF CHRISTMAS TREES

A Rhode Island lawmaker is calling Gov. Lincoln Chafee Governor Grinch after he defied lawmakers and decided that the state would have a Holiday Tree instead of a Christmas Tree.

Rhode Island professes to have the first Jewish congregation in America replete with letters from the first president George Washington, so what better place to make the point about separation between church and state? The State needs to be free from religion.

The Christmas Tree is less repugnant than the cross, but since these two are inexorably linked in a pernicious battle against the Jewish People, neither are trusted. Calling this state tree a Holiday Tree opens up this tradition to new interpretations.

A human being is compared to a tree; the Cabala explains how spiritual trees grow down from heaven with branches heavy with fruit dangling just above the earth – earthly trees grow up necessitating ladders to retrieve the fruit. Both trees need water and care.

These two types of trees indicate two types of human beings. Some people know to eat from the produce of their good deeds while others continually work trying to get closer to God – both ways bring light into the world, illuminating the darkness through giving.

CABALA (KABBALAH) OF SEX ADDICTION

It wrecks ­marriages, ­destroys ­careers, and saps self-worth, yet ­Americans are being ­diagnosed as sex ­addicts in ­record numbers.

The Cabala points out, Sexuality was dormant in the previous world call Tohu/Confusion and only now in this world called Tikun/Fixing, is sexuality being defined. The Cabala refers to the place of sexuality as Yesod/Foundation, made from the word Sod/Secret – the hidden.

Sexuality is found in the center column of the body that connects to the essence of the human being, like the third eye and navel; the triangle made from the two nipples and the navel are symbolic of the three pillars from which the body is built – left, right and center.

Addiction stems from experiencing the essence; the unbounded nature of essence leaves the taste of more – challenging, tempting the person through whatever means, to return to the source of everything. Experience evokes essence; addiction is the short cut.

There is a short road that is long, addiction; and there is long road that is short, experience – to treat sexuality with sensitivity is a long road, requiring patience, learning restraint and practicing love. Cabala is the most feminine of the Jewish knowledge.

POWER AND MONEY

Hillary Clinton said in a speech Friday that in today’s world, economic power matters more than military might; consider this: the United States is the sole global military power, and yet our influence is waning.

Ancient Rome was known for their sword (the blessing to Esua, twin brother of Yaakov progenitor of the 12 Jewish Tribes, was to live by the sword) and their coin, the coin of Rome. All roads lead to Rome because that is where the money is – the basis of money.

Money used to be backed up by gold, a raw precious metal that could be implemented, but our money is only based on promises from a government trillion of dollars in debt. What makes these governments so sure of themselves is the Roman religion – Christianity.

Religion, also makes promises they can not keep. After the Tech Bubble and after the Real-estate Bubble is the Reality Bubble; the previous reality woven by religion and substantiated by power-economics is soon going to burst, to be replaced by a bright future.

As the Sword of Rome, dulled by too much use, retires and the coin of Rome, with tarnished reputation, shrivels in worth and the assurance of religion lands on the deaf ears of the illiterate, something beautiful is being born before our eyes, as witness to the future.

THE PEDOPHILE PRIEST

The first U.S. bishop criminally charged with sheltering an abusive clergyman has been accused of failing to protect children after he and his diocese waited five months to tell police about hundreds of images of child pornography discovered on a priest's computer.

Religion, for a long time, has taken the arrogant position of being above the law; while others suffer, they pay no taxes on their vast holdings and investments – religion is the biggest landowner in the world. Religion sells heaven by exploiting God.

Arrogance leads to improper action; arrogance justifies all actions – religion gives but only to their own. The stork, in Hebrew is called Chasida from the word Chesed/Kindness, yet it is not kosher because the stork gives kindness to their community, but not to others.

Religion always wants their dues for the services rendered; from birth to death religion is there with their hand out. There is no word in the ancient languages, Hebrew, Arabic and Sanskrit for religion; organizations become religious for the tax break.

Religion is a paper tiger, a house of cards ready to fall because they lack foundation; if they actually read the books they espouse perhaps they would not be as they are. Religion is akin to the Tents of Korach that God swallowed into the earth and they were gone.

OCCUPY THE WORLD

The Occupy Wall Street movement and its We Are the 99 Percent theme went global today with protests springing up in Japan, China, Europe, and Mexico, as well as numerous U.S. cities, including New York City and Los Angeles.

The world-wide birth process promised in the Torah is happening; the Jewish People know this 3500 year-old promise as, Moshiach/Oil Pourer, but Moshiach comes for the entire world. Moshiach brings the world into the seventh millennium – the thousand years of peace.

Birth causes the senses to open and the mouth to breath air into the lungs, as the Talmud-Book of Law maintains, At birth the stomach closes and the mouth opens. The Midrash–Book of Metaphor teaches, The person is a small world; is then the world a big person?

According to the Cabala, everything in creation is formed from the YHVH, this four letter Name referring to God beyond time and space is replicated in the form of the four spiritual worlds prototype to the four elements and emblematic of the human being.

The world is giving birth to a new type of human being who is emerging from 6000 years of human history on planet earth, seeding the soil with the bones of the dead to arise in new bodies, meant to live for a thousand years. Life is pulsing through the earth.

HAPPY SUCHOT

Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by Hamas fighters more than five years ago, sparking outrage across Israel; now he's set to be freed in exchange for more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners.

This welcomed news coming on the brink of the seven day holiday Suchot/Coverings also knows as the Celebration of the Tents. Beginning tonight the Jewish People throughout the world leave the confines of their homes and for seven days dwell in a hut thatched with palm.

The Mitzvah/Commandment of Suchot is the only one of the 613 Commandments that is entered; once inside the Sucah, the palm, the myrtle and the willow are combined with the Etrog (a unique citrus from the Middle East) and shaken in all four direct plus up and down.

The Cabala explains, the holiday of Suchot, which comes four days after the completion the Ten Days of Repentance (Rosh HaShana to Yom Kippur) draws down the blessings prepared at the conclusion of the Ten Days when the Shofar/Ram's Horn is sounded breaking the fast.

The greatest blessing is our children; to bring one home after five years of cruel captivity is a joyous event. The seven days of Suchot are known as Yomin Simchatanu/Days of Our Happiness; happiness derives from the pleasure of revealing that which was hidden.

BIG MOUNTAIN

A new image from a NASA spacecraft has shone a light on a massive mountain taller than anything on Earth rising up from the south pole of the huge asteroid Vesta.

According to scientists a big bang produced all this extraordinary rubble, but according to the Zohar-Book of Secret the creation of the universe came about through a contraction within the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd, making a place for time and space.

The Cabala explains how within the Hard Light were specks of hiddenness called Atzmot Atzmoto/Essence of Essence; when the light was removed these specks smoldering at a slow boil, pockmarking the surface of cooling globs of condensing essence into matter.

The reason why matter conveys essence better than spirit is because God's Will can be accomplished in the physical realm, called Mitzvot/Commandments. There are 613 Commandments given to the Jewish People and Seven Commandments given to the other nations of the World.

Each bit of creation, particularly within the confines of our Solar System, are congealed essence that existed previously embedded with the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd. From the quark, to the atom, to the universe – there is not bit of matter, big or small, that has no meaning.

THE DREAM ACT

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the California Dream Act allowing illegal immigrants to apply for state-funded scholarships and aid at state universities.

In the Torah there is a law called the Ger Tashav/ Dwelling Stranger, one who wants to live on the land with the Jewish People but does not want to be Jewish; the Jewish People are obligated to bring the Ger into the land and share with them all the Jewish holidays.

The Jewish People are meant to be, Light unto the nations and it is considered a privilege to share with the nations our ways and our knowledge. The Jewish People are meant to be an example for other nations to follow – for example, how to be nice to the immigrant.

Before the modern world, people were valued and immigration was encouraged; today, because of technology, the value of people has decreased to the point of being chaff before rich wheat. Who we have become needs to be reevaluated and reworked.

As the New Year of 5772 begins it is prudent to remember the meaning of 72, the essence of the human being, according to the Cabala; the time is ripe for a change – revolution need not be violent or disruptive, but it needs to be smart and spiritually connected.

YOM KIPPUR AND DRACO

This year brings a surprise, the long dormant Draconid meteor shower, will again come streaking out of the constellation Draco, the Dragon this Saturday though the nearly full moon and the shower's timing may interfere.

The Ten Days of Return beginning with the New Year on Rosh HaShana and finishing on Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement are this year sandwiched between two astrological events – a massive solar flare at the beginning and the meteor shower at the end.

Every year, for 5772 years, our world is renewed with the Will of the Creator, a spiritual light attenuated down from the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd, through a myriad of contractions and separations until this infinite light, encased in smallness, can enter into our physical world.

These three days, the two days of Rosh/Head HaShana/The Year and the final day of Yom Kippur, constitute the head of the year – the two hemispheres of the brain that think plus the third eye that knows. On Yom Kippur the seal of the King is set upon the remaining 355 days.

These ten days, corresponding to the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries, form a spiritual vessel to receive the blessings from the heavens that will rain down upon the ground. Everything is dependent on the prayers from earth called, Maiyim Nukvim/Feminine Waters.

A BEAUTIFUL FUTURE

An Israeli scientist who suffered years of ridicule and even lost a research post for claiming to have found an entirely new class of solid material was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry on Wednesday for his discovery of quasicrystals.

The non-repeating symmetry of the quasicrystal is the middle ground between strident structure of crystals and the amorphous nature of metals; this new type of matter represents the middle way – in Cabala, the middle way leads to the essence known as Keter/Crown.

The Crown is a merging of two sides to make a whole; the middle way is represented in the body as the schism between the two hemispheres of the brain. In the essence, which is never seen (if you see the essence it is not the essence) there are infinite possibilities.

Also in the center of the body is the sex. Sex is where freedom of choice finds the greatest challenge, when infinity is at the footstep – called, Carnal Knowledge; the third eye is the invisible force located in the center of the forehead opposite the cerebellum.

Rosh HaShana/Head of the Year is considered the birth of the Earth. The Earth is the lowest of the four elements, but is connect directly to the essence therefore having the ability to bring forth life. This new crystal is the gateway to a beautiful future.

FASTER AND FASTER

The expansion of the universe is speeding up; that discovery won the Nobel Prize for Physics for three astronomers – whose observations of exploding stars have stirred the world of cosmology.

The model of creation based on the Big Bang is has some major holes in it, least of all the fact that the universe is speeding up instead of slowing down as aspected. This phenomenon can easily be explained by the Cabala (Kabbalah) key to the Zohar-Book of Secret.

Before creation, according to the Midrash–Book of Metphor, only God and God's Name existed; the Name of God is what the Cabala calls OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd – Hard Light without time or space. The lowest level of creation is our physical universe embedded into the dark.

What science calls Dark Energy is the veneer in which creation is encumbered, but as in fire that naturally goes up, so too do the stars race back to their original source – the Hard Light into which is engraved creation. The stars are ejected shards of light.

Another reason why the universe is expanding faster and faster is because the speed of light is only a constant within creation, like a pane of glass slows down a ray of light from the sun that then speeds up again after having transfused through the glass into the ether.

BIRTH IS HAPPENING

A huge hole that appeared in the Earth's protective ozone layer above the Arctic in 2011 was the largest recorded in the northern hemisphere, though the sudden appearance of the hole was not due to man-made causes, scientists said in a report today.

The Earth is feminine and has a woman's soul, as explained in the Cabala; dilation, the phenomenon particular only to woman happening just prior to birth, is occurring to the Earth – birth is happening to our world. But, what is being born and why?

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, In the future when we walk upon the ground, the Earth will speak to us and say: If you are going to do good, then fine; if not, go walk somewhere else. The trees will demand, Thank God before eating a fruit – animals will not be exploited.

The human being is the lowest of all species upon the earth because our free will allows us to go against our own God-given good nature; woman is closer to God than is man – man is a lever. The lever is placed at the lowest point; man is meant to raise up the world.

According to the Jewish faith, Moshiach will be born before the year 6000; the Jewish calendar just turned 5772 – birth is about to be throughout the world, on every level from the earth until the stars. When birth is about to happen everything else is put on hold.

TIME OF RETURN

Now that Gadhafi is gone, Daniel Gerbi, an exiled Libyan Jew, wants to fulfill a lifelong dream by restoring Tripoli’s main synagogue; crying, he broke down a concrete wall blocking the entrance and surveyed the damage.

After Moshiach ben Dovid comes to the earth from the heavens, is prophesied, All the places where the Jewish People prayed will be miraculously transported to the Land of Israel. Israel will be free from politics and religion, instead the land will be filled with prayer.

The Talmud-Book of Law says, After the destruction of the Temple 2000 years ago, that prayer was most important. The commandment of prayer is to ask God for our needs at the moment of necessity; one need not be in a special building or belong to some religion.

God is available to all the world, all peoples, everywhere, all the time – when we need God, we only have to ask. Now in the Jewish calendar is known as, Eser Yemay Tshava/Ten Days of Return between Rosh Hashana, the New Year, and Yom HaKiporim, Day of Repentance.

How does one return to God? The first step is recognition that God is omnipotent and omnipresent – the meaning of God is One; therefore available always. As we return to our roots, so it is we return to the Creator of Heaven and Earth, sealing the New Year.

ZTUM GIDELIA

Israel has welcomed parts of an international proposal for resuming long-stalled peace talks with the Palestinians but said it still had some concerns about the plan like: East Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees displaced during Israel's establishment 63 years ago.

Today is a fast day in Israel where is remember how the Babylonian invasion and destruction of the First Temple 3000 years ago was followed by the appointment of Gidelia, as governor – though Jewish, Gidelia was assassinated by his own people, causing the Babylonian Exile.

Now, 3000 years later politics continues to cause strife in the Holy Land, a land given to Avraham who came to the world with a message for the entire world: One God. One God means: God is everywhere to everyone all the time. Avraham is father to Arab and Jewish.

Avraham was renown for his kindness and lived peacefully amid the Palestinians who had recently migrated from North Africa. It was in Jerusalem that the One God decided to have the Temple built as a portal into the spiritual realm, standing for 410 years.

The Second Temple stood for 420 years before burned to the ground by Rome. The merit of the Jewish and Arab Peoples to live on the Land of Israel is from our books: the Torah and the Koran – in both Holy Books, delivered from the heavens, politics is reviled.

THE TIME THEY ARE-A-CHANGIN'

About 500 protesters from the group Occupy Wall Street demonstrating against corporate greed, global warming and social inequality, among other grievances, were arrested Saturday after they swarmed the Brooklyn Bridge.

The new year of 5772 has begun with revolution because this is a revolutionary time in the history of the world – both spiritually and physically. Spiritually we are past three quarters of the Sixth Day of Creation – each day of creation represents a thousand years.

According to Jewish Law, the Shabbot/Day of Rest can be begun after three quarters of the sixth day has been completed – that happened 22 years ago in 1990; Russia had just collapsed and there was the sudden hope of world peace, later shattered by 9-11.

The number 72, called Ab, represents the essence of the human being – freedom of choice, power to the people. There are 228 years left until the end of the Hebrew calendar; 228 is the gematria of Chareck/Fissures – the wall of governmental laws and rampant incarcerations is ending.

The American Spring is happening, revolution is forming against the oppression of money and greed that has bought this land and usurped the government previously for and by the people. As Bob has proclaimed, The weak ones now will later be strong, cause the times they are a changing.

ROSH HASHANA 5772

Many Israelis welcomed the start of the Jewish New Year tonight with optimism even though they have little hope for peace with Palestinians as talks between the two sides remain deadlocked.

The Zohar-Book of Secret speaks about the End of Days when the Tribe of Rueben will return to the land and make war with his neighbors and with the world and win; but, Rueben will not remain because he came for the wrong reason. Reuben was the first of the twelve tribes.

Reuben is mentioned in the Torah as having disturbed his fathers bed, which the Zohar relates to disturbing Jerusalem. But, "Because Reuben is troubled waters he will not remain" – the Zohar quotes the Written Torah's account of the Father, Yaakov's blessing his son Reuben.

Amid all the chaos and anxiety of our times, there is a general premonition that this is a blessing, and the blessing is – it will not remain. Some tyrants practice a violent brutality while other make their mark and destroy the world with the stroke of the pen.

In the Cabala, the year 5772 represents the essence of the human being – Ab/72; there are only 228 years until the end of the 6000 year Hebrew calendar – Charachim/Fissures has the gematria of 228 indicating the time has come for the false structure to fall and birth to begin.

A ROSH HASHANA SOLAR FLARE

A gigantic solar flare, several times larger than the Earth, erupted Saturday producing electromagnetic storms that caused ghostly light shows across the Northern Hemisphere, is growing and shows no immediate signs of quieting down.

The world is entering into the year 5772 in the Hebrew calendar with bang of light from the sun; the sun and the nine planets represent the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries – the cabalistic atom. The sun being first, represents the attribute of Chochma/Wisdom from the soul.

Chochma, located in the right side of the brain, literally means, the Power of What – the power to question. The brain is where the soul connects to the body; the soul is big, light a star, but only a small amount of light, a thin ray, enters into the body.

The sun is too powerful to look at or to comprehend, leaving the mind baffled as to the meaning of this giant orb; similarly the radiance of the soul is an attenuated reflection of the essence. Our Solar System is a metaphor to our etheric body dwelling in heaven.

To have a burst of wisdom hit the earth at the advent of Rosh HaShana/Head of the Year is prodigious sign of the affluence and goodness from the Creator. Tihilim/Psalms says, The heavens are to God and the Earth is to the human being. God is saying, Happy New Year.

RICH LIVE WHILE THE POOR DIE

An explosion of new technologies and treatments for cancer coupled with a rapid rise in cases of the disease world-wide mean cancer care is rapidly becoming unaffordable to many developed countries, oncology experts said today.

Henry Miller described America as, A cancer dragging the world down into a pit of hell. Cancer is a sign of the our times – an explosion of growth beyond what is good for the body. Now with modern day technology, the rich will live and the poor will die.

The rich became rich by pushing the limits of what is good for the world in the same way a person's body becomes sick from too much of a good thing; now, only the rich can afford effective treatment. The gluttony of the rich has endangered the lives of everyone else.

If God was something that money could buy, the rich would live and the poor would die – in our time, technology is god and the technocrats are devils. There is no Hell in Torah; every soul returns to heaven after a lifetime – proud or embarrassed for the life they led.

This pernicious advancement of science and technology with complete disregard to the health and welfare of the general population is a crime against humanity. A sin against God, God can forgive; but, a sin against the world and humanity even God cannot forgive.

SEX IN THE TORAH

A group of women in a violence-plagued area of the Philippines came up with their own weapon to end the fighting -- a sex strike; the women withheld sex from their husbands until they promised to quit fighting.

Torah Law, in opposition to Christian Law that requires the woman to submit to her husband, gives the woman complete control over when she is sexual – man can only be with his woman when she wants. Even more, man is required to wait for woman during sexual intercourse.

Man, unlike woman, is required from the Torah to marry and have children, but women are free; women are not required to marry or to have children – she does so purely from love. The reason for the disparity between man is woman is a result of the previous world.

In the previous world called Tohu/Confusion woman was predominant and completed, in this world called Tikun/Fixing man will be completed; there only 228 years left until the year 6000 –the end of the Jewish calendar. This New Year 5772 represents the completion of man.

The number 72, called Ab in Hebrew, is one of the four numbers related to the Four Letter Name of God which when each letter is spelled out results in four numbers: 45 gematria Adom/Human, 52 gematria Berhama/Animal, 63 the essence of animal and 72 the essence of man.

FASTER THAN LIGHT

One of the very pillars of physics and Einsteinian theory of relativity - that nothing can go faster than the speed of light - was rocked today by findings from one of the world's foremost laboratories.

Neutrinos, the particle that went faster than the speed of light, are so small that the travel through the earth as if in outer space; but, the neutrino holds a memory from before there was light – before space took on a defined dimension. Outer space is not infinite.

The Zohar-Book of Secret discusses creation in detail, explaining how the first light traveled without color; color happens because of resistance, but this first light was unfettered and therefore went faster than the speed of light. Light became a constant, later on.

The Talmud-Book of Law explains, God commanded two lines of light to go and create; one line went in and one went out – the prototype for male and female. After 2000 God years (365 squared times 2000) the Creator said, Di/Enough causing space to be defined and limited.

God became known as Shadi/Who Said Di; the gematria of Shadi is 314 the first three numbers of pi – explaining why pi is found everywhere throughout creation. The light we know comes from the engraving into the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd, creating space for creation.
