A towering wildfire jumped firefighters' perimeter lines and moved into the city of Colorado Springs, forcing frantic evacuation orders for more than 32,000 residents and destroying an unknown number of homes; the fire doubled in size overnight to more than 24 square miles.
While Colorado burns, Florida floods; when the two components of heaven, fire and water, separate they cause chaos – Shamiyam/Heaven is a combination of Ash/Fire and Maiyin/Water. What distinguishes these two primal elements: water holds together while fire tears apart.
There are 32 paths of wisdom, as taught in the Cabala; and, the gematria of Lev/Heart and Coved/Liver are both 32 – the head, heart and liver correspond to the three sections of the body derived from the Tree of Life built on three triangles. The power of speech is dumbfounded.
There are 24 books in the Torah, also divided into three sections: the Five Books of Moshe, the Prophets and the Written Text – speech is the Oral Torah. Fire and Water the represent Chesed/Kindness and Gevorah/Severity – both possess the power to perpetuate and destroy.
The body thinks in the head, feels in the heart and acts from liver, producing speech. Thinking of so many families and communities uprooted from their homes left, in ruin: the heart is compelled, awakening the liver into action – in the end, America is a community of people.

THE CABALA OF FIRE
Scientists say they have new evidence that our ancestors were using fire as early as a million years ago by taking the form of ash and bone fragments recovered from Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa.
The Torah teaches, Adom, the first human who was created on the sixth day of creation, brought darkness into the world before the sun set, but because the next day was Shabbot/Day of Rest and Light, did not discover fire until night fell at the end of the next day, beginning at night.
The Cabala teaches, The first man, though created from earth, was transported as a fire being to the Garden of Eden, beyond the planet Pluto separated by the Kuiper Belt. The next 120 years, the Adom made his way back to the earth where the original crude human beings still dwelt.
Because time is not incremental but circular, these earthly humans appeared to have lived a million years; at the advent of this fire being clothed in flesh, the original crude human disappeared. With the advent of modern man came the extinction of the Neanderthal man.
The Torah speaks on many levels because the human being exists on many levels – body and soul. The combination of body and soul, the crude human with the fire being, produced modern man and women. The inaccurate time sequence of the scientist is based on time being linear.

THE CABALA OF THE INTERNET
Popular file-sharing sites, Megaupload and Megavideo, were shut down by federal prosecutors yesterday for internet piracy; hackers from Anonymous retaliated by launching an attack on federal and public Web sites.
The Talmud-Book of Law says, Fire can not be stolen. If electricity is fire, as the modern rabbis claim – then, the price of making one’s art digital, automatically abrogates all benefits deemed from copyright. Regulating the internet is like attempting to steal fire.
The element of fire differs from the other three elements of creation: earth, water and air; the nature of fire is to go up without limit – the three lower elements are compared to the body, while fire is compared to the soul. Limiting the internet limits the soul.
The Cabala explains, The soul is large like a sun connected to the body through a thin line of light passing through the heavens until the lowest level called Chashmal/Electricity. The electricity from the soul to the body animates and directs the limbs.
The world of money is built upon the fluctuating tides of water and air, but the commerce of the human being, the effort and intention of the work, has a soul; that soul is exemplified in the physical world as the internet – a place of equality, democracy and freedom.

CABALA (KABBALAH) OF KARMA
A fire official says, A Connecticut house where five people died in a Christmas morning fire has been torn down.
An often used metaphor in the Torah speaks of houses being built up or torn down referring to family genealogy. The Cabala explains, To build a house is one of the intrinsic desires hidden in the human heart; to raze a house pierces into the very heart of the human being.
The house is considered the external garment, clothes being the inner garment, by which we hide from the world – our nudity and our hidden ways. The sanctity of the individual is seen in these two garments – clothes and houses; the house is firmly planted upon the earth.
The way in which the body brings light to the world is through being clothed, but the greater light is found in the confine of having a private house or room – with this greater light creativity happens. When a fire breaks out causing the subsequent razing, one wonders.
In death and destruction there is payment of previous deeds comes due; the victim is not always the perpetrating of the original debt, but now holds the debt. Improper action incurs debt before God; Tshuva/Repentance requires returning to God before the due date.

Chanukah Concludes
Tonight is lit the eight and final light of Chanukah at the darkest time of the year initiating a new light.
One of the ways suggested by the Rabbis to observe the holiday is to stare at the flames of the menorah for the half hour period proscribed in fulfilling the Mitzvah/Commandment of Chanukah.
Fire is the highest of the four elements with a nature to detach from the wick and meld back into spirit. The Cabala explains how the fire is divided into light and essence–the source of fire.
The ultimate source of fire is OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd which existed previous to creation. When this primordial light was broken to make space for creation there remained “hints of points” what we know as stars; the starlight is the revelation but the star is the hidden source of the light.
The expanse between the stars and the earth is measured in light years–light being the revelation between two points, the heaven and the earth. The Torah calls the light coming to us Ore Yashor/Straight Light but the light reflected back Ore Chaazir/Returning Light extending further back than where emanated from–thus going deeper into the source.
Performing physical commandments effects the source of light and brings new illumination into the world.
