The Pig People

The Catholic Church is working against the interests of child abuse victims in state legislatures around the country; through lobbying, the church has blocked measures intended to widen the legal window for victims to file lawsuits against hidden predators.

The two Semitic Peoples directly from the seed of Avraham, Arab and Jewish, circumcise and refrain from eating pig; in stark contrast the Roman People eat pig and are uncircumcised. This basic difference more than any philosophical or religious debate cuts to the core issue separating our peoples.

It is explained in the Torah/Teaching that the pig is the only animal in the world which displays one sign of a kosher animal, cloven hooves, but not the interior sign of multiple stomachs; because of this anomaly, being the only animal displaying the outer sign of kosher but not the inner sign, the pig exemplifies the hypocrite.

The animal side of the human being is manifested in many different forms but none as despicable as the hypocrite. In Jewish Law one who steals outright is not punished to the degree as one who masks their intentions.

The blatant indecency by the Church during their long history of hypocrisy where celibacy is a feign for the most despicable acts against children finds the Church repenting with one hand and covering up with the other. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says eventually the pig will become kosher when God circumcises the heart of man.

Pope Prays to Shroud

Pope Benedict prayed to the shroud of Turin saying, "The Holy Shroud eloquently reminds us always of the one who was crucified and who has shared our suffering.”

The shroud is no more true than the story it portends, but since there is no evidence of the crucifixion story at all after 2000 years of archeological and historical research the Church is forced to turn to something with substance, even if it is a lie.

It is the animal part of the person who desires a thing of substance to prostrate before because the animal gets its sustenance from the angels while the human soul connects directly with the Creator through the power of pleasure; since the Creator is neither physical nor spiritual there is nothing in creation to hold on to–just the Creator.

Those who embrace the animal soul over the human soul live by a manufactured morality that forgives the rich sinner–called Indulgences. Like the animal, religion just wants to survive and be king of the jungle.

There is no relic in all of creation that has any resemblance to the Creator. The Cabala explains, only through becoming nothing can once glimpse Y’kar DeMalcha/Glory of the King; it is why sight comes from the dark of the eye–a sign from the Creator who is beyond illumination.

Law of the Land

The Supreme Court has invalidated a federal law that had criminalized the sale of certain depictions of animal cruelty.

There were seven commandments given to Adom and Chava (Adam and Eve) for their progeny to follow 1)not to serve idols, 2)not to use God’s Name in vain 3)not to murder 4)not to steal 5)make laws protecting animals, 6)make laws concerning sexuality, 7)make courts of law to administer justice.

If the human being lives according to these dictates than you are cool with the Creator–no religion necessary. The first four commandments require definition of terms: idols, Name, Stealing and Murder but the last three commandments are up to human discretion–

It is through courts of law to limit the predatory nature of man by protecting animals and human expression; the Talmud-Book of Law says, Dina Machota Dina/Law of the Land is the Law–as long as it does not contradict the Torah.

The Cabala includes the human being into the animal kingdom and calls the angels Behama Raba/Large Animals. The Torah has additional commandments regarding the prohibition of causing suffering to animals; the animal soul flows in the blood of the human–Torah law can guide secular law if religion does not get in the way.

Win or Lose

Baseball’s San Francisco Giants pitcher Jonathan Sanchez facing the San Diego Padres for just the second time since he no-hit them last July throw a one hitter and lost 1-0.

After 29 games during a 52 year history the team lost after holding the opponent to one or less hits; the Giants had six hits but failed to score. What does it mean to throw the same game, win one and lose one?

From a Torah prospective these numbers and events are interesting because 52, which is twice the number of the YHVH, is called in the Cabala Baan the composite of the two letter making the number 52; Baan is the spiritual essence of the animal, Mah/What-45 is the spiritual essence of the human–there are 29 books, including the Five Migalot/Scrolls, in the Torah.

The animal soul conducts the movements of the body as the Torah says, The soul is in the blood–referring to the animal soul of Baan. The minute movements required to hit a ball going a hundred miles an hour or to throw a ball that fast at a small target requires the body to be a perfect vehicle for the soul; the slightest errant thought or erratic movement can mean disaster.

The Talmud-Book of Law says, If God does not stand with us, no matter our strength or agility, we can stand alone.

Heel of the Soul

Humans are among the few animals that step first on the heel when walking. Most mammals walk and run on the balls of their feet. Ungulates like horses and deer run and walk on their tiptoes.

Our time is denoted by the phrase, Akev Moshicai/Heel of Moshiach because the first part of the body to hit the earth is the heel of the foot. The human being is designated as Mahalech/Walker as opposed to the animals who run to catch food–the human being walks to a destination.

The heel is considered the lowest and most insensitive part of the body; it is taught in the Cabala the heel of the soul is affixed in the brain responsible for the constant unabated thinking that goes on inside our heads. One could assume that the soul of the animal comes in toe first–thus the essential difference of our kind.

The Talmud-Book of Metaphor mentions a few people who went beyond walking and were called Rutzim/Runners. The great Rabbi Akiva was a runner as the Talmud explains if you put Rabbi Akiva in one corner of the room to pray he would eventually end up at the other end from repeated bows and prostrations.

Few human beings ascend to the level of Runner, only those with dogged determination who never stop.

Pluto Shines

NASA has released the most detailed set of images ever taken of the distant dwarf planet Pluto. The images show an icy and dark molasses-colored, mottled world that is undergoing seasonal changes in its surface color and brightness.

This tiny world with three moons whose long elliptical orbits stretch far into the Kiber Belt is no longer deemed a planet because of its distance and smallness. In the Cabala the tenth is considered Malchut/Royalty corresponding to the mouth with the three parts of speech the lips, teeth and tongue.

Speech is the quality which separates the human being from the animal–our ability to articulate thoughts into words. Even though the soul enters in to the body through the right hemisphere of the brain it has to complete the circuit of the entire body before exiting the mouth as words.

The Cabala teaches how life exists on earth and the six out worlds from earth even though Pluto was only discovered within the last hundred years.

The first two human beings Adom/Adam and Chava/Eve according to the Torah were formed on the earth than brought to Gan Aden just beyond the Kiber Belt, but after being rejected for eating from the Tree of Knowledge found themselves on Pluto where the Kiber Belt looked like many swords preventing reentry to Gan Aden.

The Tool Maker

January 26, 2010

ScienceDaily—A new study using motion sensitive video cameras has revealed how New Caledonian crows use tools in the wild.

Academia defines the human being as tool maker, proposing the difference between the human being and the animal rests in our innovative ways of dealing with our environment. Perhaps it is not the animal learning from the human being, but the human who is learning from the animal.

According to the Torah/Teaching the human being differs from the animal in our ability to articulate ideas into spoken language; this unique ability is the crux of our technological advances, but it is not the reason. Purposeless progress is not the point of creation

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor likens God feeding the newborn ravens with flies who feed on their waste, since ravens have a cruel nature and leave their young, to God showing compassion for the children of cruel parents.

The Cabala teaches the animal like the angels are directly connected to God while the human being is the furthest from God thus freedom of choice. It is the human being who needs the animal and not the other way around.

Tools are a matter of rote learning whereas speaking indicates thinking in ideas.

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 Symmetry of Creation

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists of the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have observed particle collisions that produce single top quarks.

The diversity of the atom is regulated by six quarks set in two triangles; the Cabala describes creation also resulting from two triangles known as Zira Unpin/Small Faces that correspond to the two lower triangles of the human form—the torso and the two arms; the sex and the two legs. Instead of an atom the Cabala speaks in terms of Ten Sefirot/Luminaries arranged in three triangles; the upper triangle is comparable to the head housing two hemispheres of the brain plus the illusive third eye.

These three triangles came about due to the splitting of the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd causing Will and Pleasure later mirrored by the two lobes of the brain.

These Ten Sefirot arranged in three triangles is the cabalistic atom related to the Four Letter Name of God YHVH. It is written in the Torah/Teaching how the first human being was made in the image of God; when the YHVH is arranged vertically the stick figure of a human being appears.

Who Insures the Insurer?

The federal government has agreed to provide an additional $30 billion in taxpayer money to the American International Group that reported a $62 billion loss, the biggest quarterly loss in history.

Insurance is based on probability and statistics giving a false sense of security by convincing the unsuspecting worker that without the System there would be chaos. But, is it so? Perhaps the whole financial system is one big Ponzi Scheme with the government ciphering money from the people to keep it going?

All spiritual traditions teach the importance of being a good neighbor and taking personal responsibility for the environment. Justice is also a notable challenge that separates the human from the animal. Trust in the Creator is much more beneficial to society as a whole and to the individual trying to find their way in this weird world.

Trust and faith come from the word Eman/Craftsman. The Cabala explains the commonality between the two words as the second nature which arises from repeated attempts.
