CABALISTIC COUNTDOWN 2012

There are 91 days left until the end of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012

The Zohar-Book of Secret refers to a time when the YHVH, the highest of the Seven Names of God that are forbidden to be erased, is intertwined with Adonoi, the lowest of the Seven Names of God that are forbidden to be erased – their gematria together is 91. The YHVH combined with the Adonoi is hinted at when God’s Name is referred to with with two Yuds (two dots side by side) indicating the YHVH that begins with a Yud and the Adonoi that ends with a Yud.

These Seven Names are the source to the seven days of the week, an example of what Avraham, father to the Arab, Jewish and Roman Peoples, wrote in his book Sefer Yitzira/Book of Form, 4000 years ago, The end is rooted in the beginning – meaning, the end of the week dovetails into the beginning of the week. Time is not linear; time is a circle surrounding a line producing a spiral – the end of the Mayan calendar is the fulcrum of the spiral quickly racing to meet us.

December 21, 2012 is the due date to a new human experience written in the stars when the galactic horizon at the center of the Milky Way aligns with our sun just as the Earth slips into her winter solstice – full dilation is achieved, birth is eminent. God is known as Echud/One because God is nothing of Heaven or Earth – before God all creation is like nothing, zero, while God is Echud/One; the number 91 divided by seven is 13 which is the gematria of Echud/One.

These Seven Names are related to the seven notes on the musical scale – God is the conductor; God is also the designer of creation – the Creator of Heaven and Earth, who aligned the stars, sets the planets in motion and affixed the calendars with beginnings and endings all in the circle of life spiraling up towards a climax. A 5000 year event is about to happen; along with the Heaven and Earth, we are the witnesses.

People ask, What is the purpose of creation? The answer is simple, To know and get closer to God.

THE CABALA OF MAN

A two million-year-old flat-faced skull pulled from the sandstones of east Africa has shored up claims that at least three species of early humans once co-existed during an explosive increase in brain size paired with radically different face, teeth, and jaws.

The philosophical purpose of science is to disprove the truth; similarly, there is a cabalistic concept maintaining, Essence can never be seen – what is seen is not the essence. Science continually strips away what appears to be, searching beneath the veneer of reality for essence.

The essence of the human being is derived from our meager beginning out of earth; science depicts an evolution arising out of the earth over millions of years, while Torah describes the human being created directly from the earth then molded into a crude form.

The fire of life that animates the body is also formed like a body; after infusing the earth form with breath and fire, this ethereal body then arose to beyond our solar system, a place called Gan Eden/Garden of Eden. The original crude human, left on the earth, had many faces.

After 130 years, the fire being returned to the earth and coupled with the earthly human to produce modern man. Time is relative; six thousand years ago carbon-14 broke down at a different rate, people lived to 1000 years while the infusion of spirit and matter coalesced.

THE CABALA OF UNIVERSE

NASA launched its latest X-ray space telescope on a two-year hunt for hard-to-see objects lurking in the heart of the Milky Way and other galaxies.

Just in time! Our Solar System is about to align with the center of our galaxy on December 21, 2012, the end of the 5000 year Mayan calendar; this galactic horizon is a function of the 26,000 year observable cycle around the North Star divided into a 13,000 year sign-wave.

Our Solar System is also 26,000 light years from the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and the Earth will be hit at the end of this year by the remnants of a frozen gas cloud that entered into the center of the galaxy 26,000 light years ago. What is with the number 26?

According to the Cabala, that reduces all words in the Torah into numbers using the tool of gematria, numbers equivalent to letters, 26 is the Four Letter Name of God, YHVH, from which creation is based. God is called Echud/One, which when reduced to gematria is the number thirteen.

When these four letters are stood vertical they produce the stick figure of a human being – the meaning of, Created in God’s image. The YHVH is the source of the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries portrayed in the sun and the nine planets. The greatest discover of all is, God created the universe.

THE CABALA OF CREATION

NASA has spotted the dappled light of the first objects in the universe; scientists have observed a lumpy infrared glow coming from wildly massive stars or voracious black holes, confirming a very early universe holds a large number of furiously burning objects.

According to the Zohar–Book of Secret, creation emanated from a point within the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd, Hard Light – light that had no space nor time. The engraving into the Hard Light made a space for creation considered similar to the letter Yud – the smallest of the Hebrew letters.

The Yud/Ten is but a point and within that point is housed to entirety of creation. This point of creation is surrounded by the Hard Light – a glimmer of which scientists are beginning to uncover. These new discoveries makes little sense to scientist who believe in a Big Bang.

According to the Big Bang Theory, the Earth is spewed out from the cauldron of creation alone in the darkness, but according to Cabala, key to the Zohar, it was the stars that were spewed out leaving a mantle of light surrounding our Solar System – the center of creation.

What makes the Earth particularly important in the infinite scheme of things is our ability to speak and have free choice over our actions – the rest of the life in the universe is comparable to animals who are instinctive. Even the angels pale before the will of the Earth.

THE CABALA OF PURPOSE

New revelations in science have shown what a strange and remarkable universe we live in; the illusion of purpose and design is perhaps the most pervasive illusion about nature that science has to confront on a daily basis.

The most important question of our time is, How large is the universe? This abstract, existential question is rooted in purpose – if the universe started in a Big Bang, going on forever, then purpose has no place in creation; but, the Torah has a different explanation.

According to the Talmud-Book of Law, The Creator yelled at the universe, shortly after creation, Di/Enough and thereby made a limited universe with a meaningful design. The Zohar-Book of Secret describes creation as being engraved within the Hard Light – the limit of creation.

If the universe is without limit, then, as has been explained by scientists, all happenings would eventually be repeated over and over again rendering creation a senseless, spontaneous happening without purpose or direction. Such theories minimize the human experience.

The expanse of creation can be calculated by squaring the 365 days of a year times the 2000 years God played with creation before saying Di/Enough; the sum, 266,450,000 is the approximate elapsed time, required for the stars to blink on, according to scientific theory.

THE CABALA OF THE GALAXY

NASA has just released a stunning new map of the heavens that catalogs over 560 million objects captured by NASA's infrared space telescope; The 2D map shows the Milky Way Galaxy, shaped like a disk.

According to scientific cosmology, There was a big bang then suddenly creation appeared; according to religious cosmology, There was not a big bang then suddenly creation appeared – according to the Cabala, God engraved into the Hard Light making space for creation.

The Talmud-Book of Law says, Creation was formed by the Creator sending a thread of light through the confine of the loom. Rabbi Eliezer who entered the Pardos/Orchard of Secrets, got so far out that the world appeared to be thin as a thread of light passing through the darkness.

Scientists, 500-years-ago claimed: the earth was flat, now they claim the galaxy is flat; on the other hand, religion reads only the what is written but knows nothing of the other three parts of the Torah: Talmud-Book of Law, Midrash-Book of Metaphor and Zohar-Book of Secret.

Those who have one world and many gods see themselves as insignificant and their lives ultimately pointless; those who see One God see the Creator forever present in creation – not that everything is god, but rather God is everything, everywhere to all life and existence.

THE CABALA OF A BLACK HOLE

Scientists studying black holes using the Hubble Space Telescope have detected infant stars orbiting the only black hole in the medium mass range; this news could possibly be linked to the way black holes and galaxies are born in the universe.

Scientists assume back holes happen as a result of the density of stars burning out, then collapsing within; but, according to the Cabala, which records the elemental principles and functions of creation, the opposite is true – the black hole happened first, before stars.

The celestial process of making stars, occurs when the world of Atzilute/Close connects with the lower world of Briah/Creation through Keter-Malchut/Crown of the King. The King is Woman who turns from the illumination to give birth into the darkness, to a point of light.

This original, primordial point is replicated in each atom; in the center of the atom where particle is divided from wave, nothing happens – because, like a black hole, the original direction goes in, giving off a dark energy. Dark Energy is the precursor to Dark Matter.

The world of Briah/Creation is known as the World of Darkness. A sudden black hole in space coalesces the first smoky substance of creation through the spiraled funnel created and imbued by the point of inward facing light, a phenomenon called Ore Chazar/Returning Light.

THE CABALA (KABBALAH) OF PRISTINE SMOKE

The Keck Observatory and a team of scientists have recently located two clumps of primordial gas which may very well have had its origin within minutes of the Big Bang and are the most pristine gas discovered in our universe.

Hydrogen, the lightest of all elements is dispersed throughout the universe but not in a pure form. The Cabala (Kabbalah) describes the first moments of creation as smoke, a result of the first engraving into the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd making place for creation.

This first primordial substance is like something coming out of nothing because what existed previous was without elements at all. Similar to how the atom released energy when broken so too did the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd emit hydrogen when first broken.

The Cabala (Kabbalah) explains how prior to creation the illumination coming from God was without space or time but hidden within were clumps of hidden light that when revealed, through breaking at the behest of the Creator caused heaviness of hydrogen to be released.

Ashun/Smoke is an acrostic for Olam/World; Shana/Time and Nefesh/Soul – the primordial building blocks of existence. From our perspective, creation appears as if coming out of nothing, but from the perspective of the Creator – nothing, creation, came out of something – God.

Dancing with the Stars

Astronomers have spotted violent eruptions from an interacting pair of stars that orbit around each other every 25 minutes; outbursts take place at regular and predictable intervals, erupting every two months.

Dovid, in his book of poetry called Tihilim/Psalms says, Lift your eyes and see who created these. The fascination with the heavens equals mans fascination with fire; both are called by the same name, Ore/Light. How light was produced is explained in the Cabala referring to the Zohar-Book of Secret which relates how creation was carved out of Btznina Dkardineta/Hard Light.

The Cabala calls the Hard Light OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd because there is no space in the original light nor was there time. It is the engraving into the Hard Light which gives space to creation; at the lowest level of creation the light has been transmuted into letters which broke the light causing the shards to shatter outwards.

The place of the engraving is here in our solar system of a sun and nine planets; all the stars of our galaxy are spinoffs, shards of stars forever connected to the earth through a lattice of star beams. Nothing is random or haphazard.

The intricacies of the universe as uncovered through scientific observation are astounding, some beyond belief, so it is noteworthy to hear Dovid say, Lift up your eyes and see who created these.

What’s the Matter

New results from a particle accelerator experiment suggest that matter has a one percent difference between the amount of matter and antimatter produced explaining why a matter-dominated existence came about.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, In the beginning the nature of creation was unknown until God said–Let there be light, indicating light would be predominant to darkness. Physically, the way light is manifested is through matter having a slight advantage over antimatter because whatever is in heaven is also replicated here on the earth.

This slight inequality is also seen in the division between male and female–woman having a slight edge over men; the sun has a 21 year cycle against the 19 year cycle of the moon. The Cabala explains how all things were set forth in the beginning when the Will of God became revealed. Why would God be unequal?

Creation could just as easily been of darkness or of light, but the Creator chose light. There is no essential good or bad when it comes to light and darkness, but male dominated societies who prefer males over females have almost evened the odds.

The Rabbis who committed the Oral Tradition to writing 2000 years ago composing the Talmud-Book of Law, Midrash-Book of Metaphor and Zohar-Book of Secret said, The world maintains a delicate balance which the slightest deed can effect.

The Creation Story

According to renowned British scientist Stephen Hawking, aliens could be more interested in exploiting our natural resources than sharing their technology with us.

In a new TV series Hawking explains the derivation of the universe from well known scientific dogma such as the Big Bang, theorizing that creation happened spontaneously 13 billion years ago rendering the earth and the human experience less than minuscule before the whole of creation.

Given a scenario of haphazard creation might lead one to think there are other beings out there as predatory and fixated on survival as ourselves–this is incorrect. The biggest wrong assumption of science is their incremental system of progression based on a few centuries of observation and oftentimes even less.

According to the Torah the symmetry of creation is derived through the utilization of four letters YHVH the cause of diversity in time, matter and energy. Without acknowledging the prime mover, the Creator, science descends into mythology along with religion. The Creator loves creation.

Avraham 4000 years ago writing in the beginning of the Sefer Yetzira/Book of Form says, Creation is made from three Seferim: Sofer/Writer, Sefer/Book and Ztipor/Story; God writes the story of creation in the book heaven, but it is the human being with freedom of choice who narrates and produces the story.

Happy Pi Day

Mathematics enthusiasts will today be celebrating Pi day, which falls on 14 March in honor of the famous ratio's first few digits, 3.14.

Pi is explained in the Torah/Teaching as the result of limiting creation by the word Di/Enough; Di/14 is explained in the Talmud-Book of Law how the first light moved at infinite speed until the Creator yelled at the light, Di/Enough–solidifying time.

Because of this the Talmud concludes God is called Shadi/Who Said Di; the letter Shin/300 makes the first three digits of pi–314. Scientists are baffled by the existence of pi in the most unlikely places as if it is a signature of the Creator, which is true.

The idea of pi is radical–numbers without end or pattern, complete chaos. The Vilna Goan says the Name Shadi should be read backwards indicating the stream of letters ending with point three–it is how the light comes to us from the heavens until hitting the point that separates spiritual from the three physical dimensions of length, width and breath.

The Cabala connects pi with woman’s breast called Shadiam because there is always enough milk for the infant. Life is based on pi the milk of kindness delivered by steams of white light from the bosom of the Creator.

World Hungry

The UN's annual report on global food security confirms that more than one billion people–a sixth of the world's population–are undernourished. The FAO says Asia and the Pacific has the largest number of hungry people-642 million-followed by Sub-Saharan Africa with 265 million.

The number six in Torah is symbolized by the letter Vav know as the letter of truth is also the sixth letter of the 22 letter Hebrew alphabet. The importance of six is reinforced by the statement in the Torah adding the letter Hey/5 which is used as a preface for The–The Sixth Day.

The world is presently in the thousand years of history related to the sixth day of creation which the Cabala connects to the power of sexuality called Yesod/Foundation, built on the world Sod/Secret. It is during this time 770 years into this final millennium before the thousand years of peace begins that sexuality is being defined.

The essential components of sexuality is pleasure and will the two chaotic powers of the soul called Keter/Crown; chaos is beyond reason which is one reason why poor people have many children besides the instinct to survive–the truth of six is: every human being has the right to eat and those with food have the responsibility to feed.

Though the Torah contains 613 Commandments, Ztadeka/Charity includes them all therefore the letter Hey/is added to make HaMitzvah/The Commandment.

Yom Kippur

In 2009 Yom Kippur (Jewish Day of Atonement) begins at sundown on Sunday September 27 and ends at nightfall on Monday September 28.

Yom Kippur is a celebration stemming from God’s forgiveness 3500 years ago after the Jewish People built the Golden Calf at the giving of the Torah 50 days after leaving the slavery of Mitzriam/Egypt. During those fifty days the Jewish People went from eating bread from the earth to eating bread from the heavens, Mana; water ran out of a rock forming 12 rivers to quench the thirst of the 12 tribes who they travelled in a cloud.

After having spent forty days and forty nights on the mountain called Sinai/Hatred, Moshe returned for another set of forty days and nights without water or food until God agreed to forgive the Jewish People and instructed Moshe to return to the people to tell them then return to the mountain for another forty days and forty nights which ends this evening with Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement.

The prescriptions for this day includes fasting fro food and water for the purpose of approaching an angelic state; all pleasures of the flesh are denied on this day–even sleep is not permitted for those who are able.

At the end of the day the last prayer, called Nila/Locking, the doors of the Ark are opened indicating there is no separation between creation and the Creator.

Condensed Worlds

Astronomers have measured the motions of stars in a very distant galaxy and clocked speeds upwards of one million miles per hour. These fast-moving stars shed new light on how these distant galaxies, which are a fraction the size of our Milky Way, may have evolved.

At the end of the Zohar Chodesh-Book of Secret is written a section called Kav Hameda/Measurements; in this section is described how worlds existed prior to creation packed together only a handbreadth apart embedded in OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd–Hard Light fitted together without space or the necessity of time. According to the Zohar which was composed 2000 years ago creation was not a Big Bang, but a Big Evacuation of the Hard Light to allow space and time for creation.

According to the Torah our solar system is the place of the big evacuation leaving nine orbs orbiting the sun corresponding to the seven continents and the three oceans of the earth patterned by the Ten Sefirot–the cabalisitc atom.

Prior to creation the universe of stars, quasars and black holes were all packed into the space of our solar system. Creation began with the evacuation of space producing distance and time. It is not the star light which has reached us after myriad of years, but the stars which moved at a speed faster than light; some moved in a cluster and never expanded.

Science needs to learn some humility and respect for the ancient knowledge.



The Despot and the King

CNN–South Korean and U.S. forces have been placed on a higher surveillance alert level, after North Korea threatened military action following its nuclear test earlier this week, the joint forces announced today.

Malchut/Royalty the last of the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries is responsible for creation; Malchut is the supernal speech that spoke creation into being from the Creator. Therefore kingdoms and kings proliferate on the earth, but what is the difference between a despot and a king?

The king has ultimate control over the people; the king can tax the people, induct them into the army and send them into war–seeking national security and independents the king can deplete the entirety of the treasury for victory. So what is the difference between a despot and a king?

It is well known in the Cabala that a king can not be a king without a people, therefore the king acts out of love for his people; the despot only thinks of himself.

Water at the Ends of the Universe

ScienceDaily (Apr. 26, 2009) — Astronomers have found the most distant signs of water in the Universe to date. The water vapor is thought to be contained in a jet ejected from a supermassive black hole at the centre of a far off galaxy.

In the story of creation as related in the Torah/Teaching the only thing which is really created is the human being, everything else including the animals existed previously--the four elements were arranged in their place and the animals were called out of the earth.

The Cabala explains how water existed before fire in a state of ice so cold that it precluded movement; only when movement occurred was there fire and matter along with the concept of time and space. Water is the symbol of unity, the nature of water is to hold together.

At the end of the holiday of Succoth in the fall it is said a drop of liquid, likened to a drop of sperm, is released from the frozen light which exists beyond creation, called OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd, giving life to creation.

The Cabala of Baseball

“Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical.” Yogi Berra, widely quoted for his Yogi-Isms will throw out the ceremonial first pitch Thursday afternoon to open the new Yankee Stadium.

There are many cabalistic inferences to the game of baseball particularly the arrangement of the nine positions plus the batter which looks like the Ten Seferot known as the Tree of Life and the four bases corresponding to the Four Worlds of creation Atzilot/Close; Briah/Creation; Yitzira/Form; Asiya/Action.

To transverse all the bases is called a home run where you return to where you began; similarly with life—we come from a very pure place and will return to that place after life if our at bat was successful.

Not everyone can hit a home run and most of us depend upon others to knock us in. In heaven there are crowds of people cheering us on throughout our lives, booing when we make mistakes, but holding out hope until the end.

Yogi Berra, who is 83 years old (83 in Hebrew is Paz/Fine Gold personifies the game of baseball, a game which teaches a lot about life; my personal favorite of Yogi’s teachings is, “When you come to the fork in the road, take it.”

Sun Renewed Passover Eve

Every twenty-eight years the sun returns to the place in the heavens where it was in the fourth day of creation when the celestial bodies were solidified in their orbit; there is a blessing accompanying this event acknowledging the Creator as having Oseh Maasa Berashith/Performing the Acts of Creation. The fundamental difference between the profane and truly profound is in the acknowledgment that the Creator is in the world and not the product of a spontaneous Big Bang, but rather the intricate design and constant creation of the Creator.

God who is neither physical nor spiritual, allowing God to be everywhere all the time to everything and to everybody, chose the heavens as vehicles of communications to the earth; having this 28 year cycle happen hours before the celebration of Passover which is the holiday of the spring rejoicing in the freedom of humanity as told during the Passover Seder of how the Jewish People were released from slavery and brought out into freedom as a nation is a shout from the heavens.

In this extraordinary time of world-wide change, the correcting of the 30 hour a year fraction is significant; in Hebrew is the Lamed—a large letter towering above the other letters is known as the connection between the heavens and earth. This special time is what is called in the Torah, End of Day; when the next 28 year event happens the 6000 year Hebrew calendar will have only 300 years left.

Woman Judge

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the only woman on the Supreme Court, had surgery Thursday for early stage pancreatic cancer, the Supreme Court announced.

Although there are notable exception woman are not considered appropriate judges within the Law of the Torah because they have breasts. The nipple is the sign of compassion which both men and woman possess even though its utility is lost on men; the breast is patently woman as if to say a woman has an overabundance of compassion and therefore would not be able to administer justice which requires strict adherence to the Law. Breasts in Hebrew is Shadiam from the word Shadai the Name of God from the word Di/Enough.

God said to creation Di/Enough to form the perimeter of creation called the Gilgilot/Skull; the Name Shadai has a gemartria of 314 the first three numbers of pi found throughout creation. A woman’s breasts are called Shadiam because there is always enough milk in the breast for the child.

Compassion is the highest form of human being not to be diminished from the high court.
