THE CABALA OF LABOR DAY

Millions of Americans will celebrate Labor Day; according to the United States Department of Labor, the day represents: a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well being of our country.

Avadoh/Work in Hebrew also refers to the spiritual obligations the souls performs – this is the true work whose produce exist in the spiritual world; after a lifetime, the soul releases from the body and enters into the spirit realm where the ramifications of action adorn the abode.

The human being has a need to work and feel productive for the self and for the community; without work life has little purpose – the Torah teaches, If one does not work one can not rest. Though creation to the Creator is a little thing, nonetheless God worked to make creation, then God rested.

Work in modern time, is what use to be called slavery in the ancient day when everyone was free except those who had to sell themselves into servitude to a master because of their situation. Now, nearly everyone is in a situation serving a master who is the slave to a boss, who is slave to a boss.

The subjugation of self towards a meaningful goal is what hollows out the human being to be a vessel for the Creator. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, God made a work for each person to love. The Cabala explains, From the constancy of work comes the power of Eumuna/Faith; an Eumun is a Craftsman.

THE CABALA OF TEBOW

After several weeks of awful performances, Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow delivered what his fans are calling the latest miracle of his young NFL career.

When Tim Tebow first went into the huddle in the first game he played with the Denver Boncos he said to his teammates, "Just believe in me," and miracles began to happen before the whole world and the miracles are continuing. The power of Emuna/Faith is great.

The Cabala explains, The source of faith is rooted in the word Emun/Craftsman because the strength of faith comes from repetitive behavior; one becomes a craftsman by repeating the same motion over and over again – wax on wax off. Faith requires unwavering devotion.

Tebow has faith in 316, the number of yards he passed for in yesterday's thriller; 316 is also the passage that he is known to quote claiming that Jesus is god's only son and whoever believes in him shall not parish – but, faith works even if the belief is errant.

The Torah teaches, If a prophet comes, even if he does miracles, but what he teaches is false, then he is a false prophet. In the day, false prophets were killed, but now they are just idolized. Nonetheless, sure makes for interesting football; I favor the opposition.
