THE CABALA OF CIRCUMCISION

Religious groups breathed a sigh of relief on Friday as Germany's government promised to protect the ritual circumcision of young boys.

Both Jewish and Muslim Peoples circumcise their male children, a 4000 year tradition stemming back to Avraham, father of these two peoples. The Cabala explains the reason for circumcision in terms of the Tree of Life also known as the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries.

These ten luminaries are set upon three pillars: right, left and center, formed in three triangles; sexuality is at the bottom center – touching the earth. The earth is the tenth of the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries; receiving from Yesod/Secret, the place of sexuality – covered in secrecy.

The covering over the penis, the foreskin, is considered Klepa/Husk – part of the pleasure of the penis. Revealing essence by removing the husk is a sign to these two peoples, that the Will of God is more important than the pleasure of man and woman.

The Jewish and Muslim Peoples share this ancient tradition, circumcision derived from the Patriarch Avraham. Avraham was known for his kindness; the penis is the fulcrum of emotional energy – the circumcision is a sign of essential kindness being revealed in the world.

CABALA (KABBALAH) OF SPACE

Plowing through the solar system's unexplored frontier, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered a region of stagnant solar wind and magnetic pressure and is on the precipice of crossing over into interstellar space.

Cabala explains, The essence of fire is found, Beneath the orbit of the moon – the highest earthly element reaches to the lower part of space; beyond our Solar System is the essence of space. Fire is Ore/Light and space is Avir/Air – space is the essence of fire.

Fire is the essence of the body, but the essence of fire is air – the dark space of the hidden fire. Essence is by nature hidden; whatever is revealed is not the essence; therefore, air came before fire – through the intervention of air, water and fire merge, making heaven.

The first sound, as recorded in the Sefor Yitzira/Book of Form, the first book of Cabala written 4000 years ago by Avraham, is Emesh an acrostic for Avir/Air; Miam/Water and Aish/Fire. Air represents the invisible essence, water represents mind and fire is the emotions.

The world of man is probing the essence of space; the confine of the sun and nine planets, corresponding to the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries also known as the Tree of Life, is being breached by a technological contraption – as the earth aligns with the center of the galaxy.

Dylan Releases 33rd

Bob Dylan prophet of our times for over fifty years has released his 33rd album; fifty is considered forever in the Torah as in a slave who sells himself forever goes free after 50 years and 33 is also famous.

The release of the 33rd album comes precisely two weeks before the holiday known as Lag Bomer the 33rd day of counting the omer. The 33rd day of the Omer is famous because it is when Rabbi Shimon ben Y’Choi author of the Zohar-Book of Secret 2000 years ago passed away.

Rabbi Shimon instructed his students to celebrate at his passing because he was going back to his essence–this day is celebrated throughout the world with dancing and fire.

In Cabala 33 is known as deep of the deep after that begins the process of illumination; as Bob says in his new album–I feel a change coming on.

The Most Dangerous Place

President Obama recently called the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan as "the most dangerous place in the world."

The problems in Kashmir and the difficulties with the Palestinians both result from the borders and the partitions erected by the English in 1948 when Israel became a state and have been the epicenters of world discord ever since.

The Khaiber Pass, Kashmir and Jerusalem are all ancient portals to the heavens as clearly described in the Torah/Teaching. Warring at spiritual portals are ways to war against Heaven—there are those who believe God sits in Heaven and therefore they war against Heaven. Spiritual ascension is a war against the negative energy implicit in physicality—those bent on war against God exploit those holy places by means of cruel dictates.

Just as war in a spiritual portal strikes at the very essence so too the solution must reach the very essence of the problem. When the Jewish, Muslim and Hindu Peoples realize there is no contradiction from their texts then the portal can be opened and new light can come to the world.
