The Pedophilia Irony

The Catholic bishops have lobbied hard to get Catholic members of Congress to oppose the current health care bill because of language it says could allow some federal funding of abortion.

This seems so ironic given the constant complaints of pedophilia brought against he Church reaching even to Pope in Rome. Why is the unborn child some much more precious than the living?

The Church even goes so far as breaking with the Torah and the ancient Rabbis who understood and wrote clearly in the very beginning of the Talmud-Book of Law that life begins at 41 days. This date is corroborated by scientists as being when the zygote transforms into embryo.

It is at 41 days that the imprint of the YHVH whose four letters arranged vertically makes the stick figure of a human being is imprinted upon the placenta. The Cabala clearly explains how the placenta is formed during the first 40 days from conception to mingle the DNA of the mother and the father then at 41 God delivers the soul–this is Jewish law!

That the Church would rather deny people health coverage than concede the smallest degree is more than ironic. The Torah teaches the middle way is the way of truth as symbolized by Teferit/Beauty the center of Ten Sefirot–the cabalistic atom from which all physical and spiritual take form.

HC Passes House

President Barack Obama has hailed as "historic" the approval of a health bill by the House of Representatives.

To rectify a wrong is the highest action a human being can take; in Hebrew it is called Tshuva/Return–compared to a mirror that returns the light to a further spot than the place of emanation. Similarly, when a wrong is committed to the poorer section of the population, used a human experiments to achieve working remedies for those who had funded the research–the rich, is truly historic.

All spiritual texts exalt helping the poor and those vocal adherents to these texts who voted instead for economic health and stability wish to perpetual this long standing wrong. The Cabala explains how to each spiritual illumination in our world is accompanied by an equal opposition–in this case those who pander to the rich.

A mirror is made from a piece of glass with a thin veneer of silver to reflect the light; if the silver is too thick the mirror will only absorb the light–like a bribe which blinds the eyes even of the wise.

Ztadaka/Charity needs to come from the heart, to be given because it is the right thing to do; charity is called in the Torah HaMitzvah/The Commandment because all things depend up the intention of the heart.

Giving the Soul

A study commissioned by the National Football League reports that Alzheimer’s disease or similar memory-related diseases appear to have been diagnosed in the league’s former players vastly more often than in the national population.

There is a thing about sports more than watching the perfection of the performers; it is the competitiveness of sports which gives it its edge and those who play the sport do so with the forgone knowledge to the dangers of the sport–it is part of the sport.

In the Torah/Teaching this attribute is called by the term Maserit Nefesh/Giving Soul–relinquishing one’s own life for a higher purpose. Life is not about how long you live but how well you live, what you do in your life.

The soul is attached to the body on a mission from God like a player in a game who is asked to give more than his part–to give the soul, to give up the life. What is the reward for giving up life? There is none because the act causes closeness with God which eradicates all vestige of person or soul.

During Yom Kippur is read the story of the sons of Aaron who brought a strange sacrifice to come closer God and were consumed by the fire.

Obama Vows

Admitting he is not the first, but vowing to be the last president to deal with Health Care in America President Obama is determined to fix this century old problem.

In the Torah vowing is considered to be an innate resource of every human being called upon during times of duress. Vows are believed without question, but a vow is more than a promise as demonstrated by the similarity to the words in Hebrew for Shavoa/Vow and Savoia/Satisfied.

Satisfaction is a type of pleasure that accompanies reaching self-imposed goals. It is pleasure that lures in us the higher expectation that satisfies to the depth of the soul. Pleasure is counted as the inner aspect of essence by the Cabala; pleasure commands will, the other side of essence–essence drives the human being even beyond logic.

The president usually mild-mannered and conciliatory was combative and forceful, so is the power of the vow. Marriage is a vow, military service is a vow, but vowing to change Washington is a combination of the two–the commitment to hold together but also the obligation to fight for what is right.

Being president is a tricky business, like the head bird flying at the point of the V needs to part the invisible wall of air so the ones behind can follow.
