THE CABALA OF GUNS

Three reasons are cited for the current strength of the gun industry: fear about the Obama administration pushing for gun control, more state laws allowing for concealed weapons, and anxiety about the economy.

In modern day Hebrew the word for gun is the same word for kiss – Neshek. War is called by the word Korev/Close and the instrument of war is Neshek/Kiss – opposites, one of hate and the other of love. Both the kiss and the gun have a breath that penetrates deep inside.

War brings people close; love becomes more important than money – the gun is the symbol of war. The paradigm of life and death is illuminated during war; the experience of being in a war, soldier or civilian, is fundamentally different from those watching the war from afar.

Similarly, the experience of love is very personal, whereas war is out in the world; there is the war of love that happens within the human being and the love of war that happens in the world. The Second Amendment provides for the right to arms, kissing is free, everywhere.

The Cabala explains, Milchama/War is a combination of two words: Mil/Cut and Choma/Hot; the fire of war destroys but the passion of love binds. America is a place of controlled violence that needs to chill and transform into love, as the old song declares: Its in the kiss.

THE CABALA OF LEAP DAY

The 29th of February — Leap Day, is one of the ways humans impose order on the universe; it takes 365.24219 days for the Earth to make its lap around the sun – the extra six hours causes an added day every four years.

The first calendar was conceived from information given to Chanoch 5000 years ago, 666 years into the life of Adom, the first created human being. Chanoch was taken to heaven at 365, the number of days in a year, and made to be the angel Matatron – the angel of the Earth.

This ancient calendar was delivered to the Mayans, by Mohammed the Prophet who took a night journey in a dream on his horse; the Mayans recall how a god came from heaven to deliver their calendar on a feathered serpent – horses were not yet introduced into the Americas.

The Mayan Calendar has 13 lunar months of 28 days, and one day for the yearly transition. The Hebrew Calendar adds a month every few years reconciling the 19 year cycle of the moon with the 21 year cycle of the sun – keeping the commandment of having the holidays in their season.

The Roman calendar relies completely on the sun without cognition to the moon. The light of the sun blinds; the Talmud-Book of Metaphor calls blindness Sogi Ore/Too Much Light. The Cabala explains, The light of the moon is the light of creation – a woman giving birth monthly.

The Hajj and Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, Hajj and Eid al-Adha fall within the same week this year. Hesham Hassaballa tells the story of Abraham, which inspired the rituals of the Hajj.

Avraham who came from the Tower of Babel was a master of language as the Cabala says Avraham knew the 22 movements of the mouth; from Avraham came Arabic, Hebrew and even Sanskrit–from the force of these languages three great peoples arose–Arab, Jewish and the Brahmins of India called so because they came from Avraham.

In the West the Avrahamic tradition has been reinterpreted as monotheism, but that was never Avraham’s message; everyone knew of the God of gods, but Avraham came to teach the message of how God is ever present all the time to everyone. That message resonates with the holiday of Thanksgiving.

In Hebrew the word for thanksgiving and turkey are the same–Hodu which also means India. In the Temple in Jerusalem the thanksgiving offering was made through the sacrifice of an animal, also during the Hajj a animal is sacrificed and on Thanksgiving an animal is sacrificed.

The Talmud-Book of Law says ignorant people should not eat meat because it will make them cruel and arrogant; an elevated person eats thankful to God and humbled at having to take life for the sake of life.

Nobel Prize

This year's Nobel prize for medicine goes to three US-based researchers who discovered how the body protects the chromosomes housing vital genetic code.

The chromosome is found in pairs of 22 regular parts plus the 23rd, known as the sex component because it determines the sex of the person; we all begin as female with two X chromosomes one turning later to Y in the male.

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet which are considered to be the building blocks of creation as described in the Cabala; the idea that “God spoke and the world was” is a way of remembering that God has no pieces yet created creation in tens which is directly related to the 22 through virtue of the ten components of male and female plus an essence for each.

It is known in the Cabala that sex did not exist in the previous world called Tohu/Chaos because there was complete independence, only in our world called Tikun/Fixing is sexuality necessary–the 23rd added chromosome.

It is also known that the Six Days of Creation correspond to the subsequent 6000 years of which we have just begun 5770; the sixth day in the Cabala is related to the sefira of Yesod/Secret–it is why all the secrets are coming out now.

Swine Virus in the Middle East

Pope Benedict XVI urged inter-faith reconciliation on the second day of a Holy Land tour but disappointed Muslim clerics by failing to offer a new apology for remarks seen as targeting Islam. The pontiff in a keynote address to Muslim leaders in Amman's huge Al-Hussein Mosque bemoaned "ideological manipulation of religion" and urged Muslims and Christians to unite as "worshippers of God."

The Muslims believe that God is beyond all description and while accepting Jesus as a prophet rejects the story of the cross–the ideological basis for the Christian religion. Religion itself is questionable because there is no word for religion in Arabic, nor in Hebrew or in Sanskrit–the three ancient spiritual languages given to the world through Avraham 4000 years ago.

Religion is a recent phenomenon based in ideology–making the claim that God loves ideology more than people. The purveyors of religion are quick to point out, as intermediaries between God and humans they take advantage of their position to be both holy and sinful at the same time–because it is willed so. Religion is spread like a virus; requiring a host where once within spreads its disease by pretending to be part of the body while hiding their alien intention.

The people of the pig are trying to spread their swine virus in the form of religion to the Middle East.

Iran and Israel

NYT/JERUSALEM–The new government of Israel is seeking to reorient the country’s foreign policy, arguing that to rely purely on the formulas of trading land for peace and promising a Palestinian state fails to grasp what it views as the deeper issues: Muslim rejection of a Jewish state and the rising hegemonic appetite of Iran.

In the Midrash-Book of Metaphor when detailing the coming events at the End of Days says that at this time the Arabs when fall and Persia will fill the power vacuum–and so it has happened. The End of Days in the Torah refers to the end of the calendars; within the next 250 years the Roman, Mayan and Hebrew calendars all end and with it the end of the 6000 years of male history to be replaced by a thousand years of woman and peace.

This prophetic happening is reflected in the national politics of the countries involved. The news reported in the papers and electronic media is a reflection of a reflection from the pattern of life as set forth by the Creator as it ripples upon the waters of reality forcing the question–what about freedom of choice?

The precious freedom to chose vouchsafe only to the human being is in how we conduct ourselves within the implacable plan of the Creator.

Magic Ninety

Magic Ninety
Pete Seeger turns 90 today, May 3rd and he's still performing; on Tuesday [March 24], poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti turned 90–together they make 180.

Eighteen is Chai/Life and that these two luminaries should both turn 90 on each coast of our country is notable. Pete Seeger famous for his lifetime devotion to the Hudson River and Lawrence Ferlinghetti a lifetime bohemian-poet come to San Francisco after being one of the first people to enter Hiroshima after the atom bomb was exploded, were born only a couple of months apart–twins.

America can celebrate these two soldiers of peace who arise at Chai/Life together like two hands holding our country together in this special time when our president rules whose name translates into Blessed Leader.

The end is over; a new beginning has begun.

Law and Justice

A process begun months ago among White House lawyers to quietly compile a list of possible Supreme Court picks has accelerated with word Justice David Souter plans to step down form the bench later this year.

Establishing courts of law is one of the seven commandments given to Noah after the flood; these laws are relevant to all human beings since we derive our parentage from these survivors–plus, it is deeply rooted inside the human being the need for justice. Perhaps the rational behind our common need for justice is that the soul lives in heaven while the body harbors memories of a perfect world as attested to by children who constantly complain about the world not being fair?

The widely expected woman to be nominated to the highest bench bodes well with our time of transition from the six thousand years of man into the thousand years of woman known as the Thousand Years of Peace; the 6000 year old Hebrew calendar is but a few centuries away from completion and bringing female energy to the bench in the form of a woman justice is necessitated by our need for compassion.

Although, in the end all things need to be judged thus accomplishing closure, but it is compassion which rectifies law and fixes judgement.

Torah Central

From the time the Torah was received by Moshe on the mountain named Sinai/Hatred it was divided into weekly sections finishing the Torah each year—that practice continues until today. Today’s portion in the Torah, which is also the first day of Passover, begins with Drash-Drash two words denoting inquiry. Between these two words is the center of the words in the Torah; tomorrow the center of the Torah letters is denoted by a large letter Nun/50 in the world Nachus/Serpent. Two thousand years later the people who composed the Talmud known as Divri Sofrim/Word Counters eventually, after millennium of exile developed the language of the Cabala.

It is on this day also that the announcement of Tal/Dew was made throughout the Jewish world. Though the seasons are divided into four, there is yet another division between rain and dew. The beginning of spring, on the first day of the seven day holiday Passover announces dew; six months later at the end of the other seven day holiday Suchot is announced rain.

During Passover you can eat anywhere, but no leaven; during Suchot you can eat what you wish, but only in the Sucha—a small temporary dwelling erected for this seven day period.

The Hard of the Hard

HOUSTON — Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday rejected $555 million in federal stimulus money that would expand state unemployment benefits.

In Cabala the number five is commiserate with severity; there are five parts of the mouth which produce speech: the lips, the teeth, the tongue, the pallet and the throat—there are also five letters in the Hebrew alphabet which change their form when ending a word, they are known as the Five Severities. Three fives also has a meaning since one is a point, two is line and three a triangle—the first expression of unity and strength.

In Texas, known to be a hard place run by hard people where they top the states in the number of people put to death by the state has shown their true colors—the green and greed of money—by taking first from the most vulnerable.

Gog and Mgog

President Obama is risking his presidency on the most ambitious remake of the federal government since Ronald Reagan.

Ronald Reagan the fortieth president was the impetus for 26 years of deregulation of business and the dismantling of the social services. In Hebrew forty is denoted by the letter Mem/40 when used at the beginning of a word becomes causative; the first and second G hints at the two Georges while the middle letter Vav/6 represents the 42nd president.

In Cabala the number 42 called Mob is related to the previous world known as Tohu/Chaos. It was through these four presidents over 26 years who waged the prophetic Wars of Gog and Mgog. The number 26 is related to the YHVH which bring light to world; whatever there is in good is accompanied with an opposite mirrored image

The storm Katrina brought an abrupt end to the Roman Empire. In Hebrew Katrina means: Kater/Crown Na/Please—after 2000 years of Rome God was saying: give me the crown, please because your time is over.

The President and the New Moon

President Barack Obama spoke to the joint houses of Congress, the American People and the world last night at the advent of the New Moon.

The month of Adar in the Hebrew calendar coincides with the beginning of spring; according to the Talmud-Book of Law when the month of Adar begins happiness increases. The new moon of each month is considered a holiday because it is a time of transition called Maled/Birthing when the moon is completely without light. In the birth process the most difficult part of the birth is called transition. All transitions are difficult, but with the proper guidance the needed process can happen without much trauma.

This propitious time of the new month was utilized by the president to address the inhabitance of the world announcing spring is on the way. In the Hebrew calendar which is regulated by the moon, there are four New Years one for each season; in the fall is the New Year for the earth called Rosh HaShana, the winter and summer celebrate the new year for the trees-water and the New Year for the animal-fire in the summer. The New Year for the human-air (speakers) happens in the spring and celebrates freedom.

The Lips of Woman

Morning Edition, February 24, 2009: On Fat Tuesday, there's news of the slimmest costume ever in Rio de Janeiro's Carnival parade. A samba dancer managed to dance along the Brazilian route clad only in a glittery silver headdress, silver arm bands and a G-string measuring barely an inch wide. Before, the thinnest G-string on a samba dancer was 1 1/2 inches.

The letter Hey/5 in the Hebrew alphabet signifies woman; the letter looks like a house with a window: h. The three straight lines that make up the letter Hey/5 form two spaces called in Cabala, the lips above and the lips below. Sex, according to Chaim Vital author of the Cabala, takes place between two kisses—the kiss above and the kiss below. Lips signify speech—the outer expression of our deepest aspirations articulated into space. Though male and female share traits, only woman gives birth from the lips below, bring forth a new generation in the space of the world.

The covering of the lips is an ancient rite of modesty.

The Oscars

VOA News: The film industry's biggest stars have gathered in Hollywood for the 81st annual Academy Awards ceremony, recognizing the year's top movies and movie makers.

In Hebrew Oscar translates as And Reward and certainly the fulfillment of a dream is the ultimate reward. The Talmud-Book of Law discussing the making of a vessel concludes by saying, until Maca Bpatish/Final Hit with Hammer the vessel is not yet finished. The great honor of the Oscars is the tribute to the finish work which when given an Oscar is like the last hit of the hammer which concludes a segment of an actor’s career.

Reward in Torah is not considered a goal, but rather a stamp of approval meant to encourage further work. The stamp of the Creator is the word Emet/Truth spelled with the first, middle and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet as if to say, all is true.

Diligent digging into what is true produces the inspiration from where art flows.

Three Headlines

Automakers Seek $14 Billion More in Aid; U.S. Accuses Texas Financial Firm of $8 Billion Fraud; Putting Stamp on Afghan War, Obama Will Send 17,000 Troops

The number 14 in Hebrew translates as the word Yad/Hand—a helping hand for the automakers; the number eight is representative of infinity but also chaos—guess it could be said that their number was up; lastly, the number 17 is the gematria of Tov/Good and there is little doubt that sending more troops will be good for stability the country of Afghanistan.

The three numbers together total 39; there are 39 restrictions in the Torah and 39 hits that can be given in punishment, but no more. Also, according to the rules of the Cabala an additional number can be added to reach the number forty which is a number associated with the completion of punishment as in the forty days and night of rain to cause the flood.

These numbers independently and collectively give hope to the future by fulfilling the terms of punishment—failure, fraud and war—for the inexcusable excesses perpetrated on the American People by greedy entrepreneurs in coalition with power-hungry politicians.
