THE CABALA OF GUNS
In modern day Hebrew the word for gun is the same word for kiss – Neshek. War is called by the word Korev/Close and the instrument of war is Neshek/Kiss – opposites, one of hate and the other of love. Both the kiss and the gun have a breath that penetrates deep inside.
War brings people close; love becomes more important than money – the gun is the symbol of war. The paradigm of life and death is illuminated during war; the experience of being in a war, soldier or civilian, is fundamentally different from those watching the war from afar.
Similarly, the experience of love is very personal, whereas war is out in the world; there is the war of love that happens within the human being and the love of war that happens in the world. The Second Amendment provides for the right to arms, kissing is free, everywhere.
The Cabala explains, Milchama/War is a combination of two words: Mil/Cut and Choma/Hot; the fire of war destroys but the passion of love binds. America is a place of controlled violence that needs to chill and transform into love, as the old song declares: Its in the kiss.

THE CABALA OF LOVE AND SEX
Love in Hebrew is Ahav, combining Hav/Giving with an Aleph indicating, I – I give. The study neglects to point out the connection to knowing, which is housed in the same part of the brain, is the conduit between head and heart. Knowing is the culminating action of the brain.
Whether the drug is love, sex and substance, the power to know is the prime mover. Knowing is synonymous with the third eye relegated to the forehead – a mysterious power related to spiritual knowledge. In Cabala, when knowing is not counted, essence is counted to arrive at ten.
The Ten Sefirot/Luminaries portrayed in the formation of the human body connects to the essence through the third eye, also connects to the center of the heart and to the sex – found in that same meridian. This center pillar connects soul, to brain, to heart to sex.
The arms and the legs intertwine but the center enters in and delivers from the highest to the lowest. The scientific description of love and sex lacks the basic understanding of how creation evolves from the YHVH into the Ten Sefirot, the cabalistic atom from which all is derived.

THE CABALA OF HEALTHCARE
Rabbi Akiva 2000 years ago said, The basic generality governing the Torah is – Loving one’s friend as one’s self. Love of self is naturally accorded to all people; therefore, since the human body is a vessel for life, people will pay anything to maintain their health.
The Cabala teaches, A hole in the body is indicative of a hole in the soul – without fixing the body the soul can not be repaired; the healthy helping the sick, heals the body of the poor and the soul of the rich – without the poor people charity becomes impossible.
In the previous world of Tohu/Chaos everything was independent; those who were strong ate up the weak, but in our world, called Tikun/Fixing, everything is created, purposely incomplete necessitating love of others. All peoples are created to fix the chaos of Tohu.
Love in Hebrew is Ahav, a word that breaks down into Hav/Giving while the Aleph at the beginning indicates I – I Give. Those who insist on individuality live in chaos. Doctors are compelled, from morality, to save every person – this same standard applies to everyone.

THE CABALA OF HATRED
The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, When the Torah was given to the Jewish People 3500 years ago, God asked for reassurance the Torah would be kept; the people offered their word but God said, You are going to die – then they offered their fathers who were already dead.
Finally, the people offered their children and God accepted because children are the future. A person who deliberately attacks children, attacks the future; the ancient tradition of war spared women and children because women give birth to the yet undetermined future.
The Torah is clear, Children do not bear responsibility for the sins of their parents. The worst kind of hatred is called Sinut Chinom/Free Hatred, meaning there is no reason for the hatred; but, in our times the Jewish People are reviled for political and religious reasons.
The Talmud-Book of Law says, When Moshiach comes the world will love the Jewish People; perhaps what the Talmud means is, Moshiach will come when the world loves the Jewish People for performing 613 Commandments bringing spiritual light, benefiting the whole earth.

THE CABALA OF TWO BROTHERS
Two brothers live on each side of the continent, each becomes head coach in the NFL with similar styles and teams; each brother almost reaches the pinnacle of his aspiration, but then each brother fails in similar circumstance. What is the meaning of this happenstance?
The Cabala teaches, Siblings have the greatest love because of the equality they share. There was great interest in the football world to see these two brothers face off, but each lost just before the final game – the Super Bowl. Why would God disappoint so many fans?
Two brothers once live on each side of a mountain separated by a valley; one brother had riches and awoke in the middle of the night desiring to bring his wealth to his brother who had many children. At the same time the other brother awoke, with the same desire.
When the two brothers met in the valley between, realizing their mutual intention, they kissed; God said, I want to make my Temple there – Jerusalem, portal into heaven. Perhaps, this is sign from heaven, Love loses in our world where brother battles brother.

CABALA (KABBALAH) OF HATRED
The worst hatred draws its venom from Holy Books like the Torah or the Koran; neither book encourages hatred or killing, yet each book came to be through war against peoples who worshipped idols. The Jewish People are esteemed in the Koran as the People of the Book.
Likewise, the Torah recognizes that not all prophets are necessarily Jewish or come to expound upon the 613 Commandments give to the Jewish People; God is manifest in the world in many ways – from prophets to child. Man makes war from scrapes of words that were given with love.
The Torah commands brotherly love and all peoples are brothers. The Cabala explains, there are two types of love, worldly love and love of pleasure; and two types of hatred, worldly hatred and hatred without reason. The hatred in the Middle East is politically inspired.
Hatred with a reason will eventually end when the reason ends, but hatred for no reason is truly anti-Semitic and will never end – Arab and Jews make up the entirety of the Semitic Peoples. He who hates Arabs or Jews hates the direct progeny of Avraham who only loved.

Porn Religious
Religion and pornography have in common an outer expression of an inner lie; the basic hypocrisy practiced by both religion and pornography is the utter disconnection between the inner and the outer. Sex is not inspired by love and the prayer is misdirected.
The Bible is a bad translation of the original texts of the Torah as is the pictures of naked people enjoying sex only a caricature of reality. Both sex and prayer happen within; what is expressed on the exterior is unimportant and does not reflect the inner truth.
The Talmud-Book of Law says that if a road splits and one road leads to religion and the other road lead to lewdness–take the road to the lewd rather than the road to religion. Both religion and pornography are lies, but it seems from the Talmud there is an advantage in pornography.
The rabbis forbad the learning of the Zohar-Book of Secret and the Cabala-key to the Zohar because this secret knowledge is seeded with plentiful amounts of sexual similes and innuendo. Neither the Ari who fathered the Cabala nor Chaim Vital who wrote the words of the Ari could find a substitute for sex.

The Great Divide
From ancient times the land of Israel was split between the Bnei Yisroel/Children of Yisroel and the Palestinians; by the time the Jewish nation arrived 3500 years ago the Palestinians were already settle on the land living with the seven nations of Canaan. God Commanded the Jewish People to chase out or wiped out those would not leave of the seven nations of Canaan, but not he Palestinians.
Though neither the Canaanites, the Palestinians nor the Children of Yisroel were indigenous to the land–Canaan and the Palestinians came from Africa and the Jewish People came from Mars. In the Torah the Palestinians are famous for claiming what is not theirs–the springs of Avraham and the springs of Yitzchok.
The Cabala explains Pleshteem/Palestinians is related to Movay MePoleshish/Open Alley through which the wind blows. Yisroel can make the word Rosh Li/My Head; the Palestinians are the throat through which the breath speech emits.
The seven nations of Canaan are the seven bad emotions that had to be eradicated before new emotions can be formed. What is happening, after the anger of war subsides, is a new emotion being forged between the head and the throat.

An Act of Anger
The greatest spiritual act is to give up one’s life for the cause, but seeing life is dualistic, the ultimate good has an equally ultimate bad–like deliberately killing out of anger then trying to escape in the smoke by taking one’s own life.
It is written in the Psalms 3000 years ago, Where ever you flee God is before you; if you go into heaven or into the grave God is there. The Midrash–Book of Metaphor says that anger is comparable to serving idols since to serve an idol one must deny God, similarly uncontrolled anger refutes God’s world of free choice. Letting anger burn is detrimental to the populous.
People who give their lives to fight against injustice are to be lauded, but premeditated murder with blatant disregard for who dies is the sickness of our times. This indiscriminate hatred needs to be eradicated through the use of indiscriminate love.
The Torah is based upon the phrase Love one’s neighbor like one’s self. This simple injunction is the basis of God’s Law whose reward is peace. The last blessing of the 18 prayers recited daily is a prayer for peace–because without peace there is nothing.

Love Thy Enemy
The Talmud-Book of Law explains the Second Temple was destroyed because there was hatred amid the last two tribes of the Jewish People against one another–hatred for no reason. The destruction of the the Temple precipitated the historical time called the Dark Ages. Rome had invaded the Middle East. There was no animosity between Arab and Jewish.
This calamity, the destruction of the Temple, would be paid out over the next 2000 years through what is known as Ahavat Kinom/Free Love to make up for the Sinut Kinom/Free Hatred practiced during the time of the Temple. Love in Hebrew Ahava is made from the root Hav/Give; free love is giving without reason.
It is hard to be contrary without hating–the guard against hatred is respect. Dovid King of Israel 3000 years ago was famous for saying, hate the action but not the person–the same goes for love.
In the end we are one human being–the best of us and the worse of us. Each of us needs to spend our time fixing what is wrong in ourselves because of the repercussion throughout creation.

The Trial
It is stated in the Midrash-Book of Metaphor the world requires the Jewish People like the earth needs the wind to survive. So why those transfixed with killing the Jewish People?
God loves creation as put forth by the Zohar-Book of Secret God asked creation at the very beginning: why are you indeterminate? Creation answered saying, We have nothing to base upon–so God gave the promise of Avraham. Bahaboram/In the Creation can read Avraham if the letters are rearranged.
Though it is important to look back into the past as not to repeat such acts, God forbid, in the future it is more important to look at the present. A trial is like a test, testing the system of authority through the means of justice while testing God with our memories.
Since God loves creation and Avraham loves creation then why all the hatred? The Torah was given to the Jewish People on Mount Sinai/Hatred to bring peace to the world and eradicate hatred. The trial is not for the dead, but for those of us who are left as a reminder to make right the nature of man from that essential place.

The Compassionate Republicans
When the great elder Hillel upon whom the entire Talmud-Book of Law is predicated was asked to explain the Torah/Teacher while standing on one leg–meaning he should explain himself in brief, answered: the entire Torah comes down to loving your friend like you love yourself. What love is greater than the love we harbor for ourselves?
Included in this simple admonition is the loving the one’s soul, loving the Creator and certainly loving our neighbors and fellow citizens.
Love in Hebrew Ahava is made from the word Hav/Giving and the Aleph/I in the beginning–Ahava/Love is I Give. To deny basic needs to those whose only sin is not being part of a manufactured and manipulative normality is tyranny.
In the Cabala love is not considered an emotion but a pathway from the brain to the heart called Dat/Knowing. Knowing is the source of compassion–the highest human attribute and is comprised on Love and Fear. Those who know God fear to be cruel before the Creator, but those who do not know God fear everything else.

Disciplining Children
I once had two teachers, one was old and the other young; when I married and began having children I asked my teachers, what was the trick to raising children? The young one said, Don’t scream at your children because screaming does no good; sometimes if the child is really bad you might have to give a little hit, but the main thing is to love the child. When I asked my teacher who was old he said: Don’t hit your children because hitting does no good, sometimes if the child is really bad you might have to scream a little bit, but the main thing is to love the child.
God is the parent and we are the children. God does not hit us and God does not scream at us–God loves us and all of creation.
The Bal Shem Tov, Jewish mystic 250 years ago, said to a man who asked, how to love God? The Bal Shem Tov responded saying: love what God loves.

The Despot and the King
Malchut/Royalty the last of the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries is responsible for creation; Malchut is the supernal speech that spoke creation into being from the Creator. Therefore kingdoms and kings proliferate on the earth, but what is the difference between a despot and a king?
The king has ultimate control over the people; the king can tax the people, induct them into the army and send them into war–seeking national security and independents the king can deplete the entirety of the treasury for victory. So what is the difference between a despot and a king?
It is well known in the Cabala that a king can not be a king without a people, therefore the king acts out of love for his people; the despot only thinks of himself.

A Meeting of Hearts
The 2000 year old exile of Rome is no more evident than in Israel where Roman statehood has taken hold. Since World War One a 100 years ago the Roman way of life has been forced upon the Middle East without regard of culture or faith. The result of this western invasion has been to make animosity between brothers–Jewish and Arab and then to cloak the problem with a thick veneer of politics.
The first king of Israel Shual back 3500 years ago was a politician and because of that his kingship did not remain; after him came Dovid whose line will last until Moshiach. Dovid was the Poet-King; he loved God and the people–only through love will peace come to the Middle East.
If God will bless these two leaders with compassion and wisdom then peace has a chance.

Obama Goes South
In the Cabala is noted the fact that most of the world’s population exists in the north and that two-thirds of the world is made of water—these sages did not know this from science, but from an intricate understanding of creation. They explain how this world is the second in a series of seven worlds and being second means Gevorah/Severity which is located in the north.
There are seven worlds, likened to the seven continents, which relate to the seven emotions, the lower segment of the Ten Sefirot; it is wildly accepted within the Torah that the emotions ultimately are more important than mind.
Surrounding the Shema Yisroel proclaiming God’s omnipresence in creation, before and after, is the word Ahavta/Love You. Be sure, the president will not be judged by his intellect as he travels south, but by his emotions.

Freedom VS Slavery
In the Torah slavery is one of the options available for those in need of money. There are strict laws written in the Torah about how to treat the slave and the obligations of the owner to the slave.
The slave goes free if you hurt him, meaning the owner loses the money to the slave—we call it Workman’s Compensation; the owner must provide for the slave a place to live for him and his family plus medical and sustenance. What makes the person a slave is his is not his own person.
The Torah points out if the slave loves being a slave and wants to be a slave forever, the master puts a hole through the ear lobe of the slave to signify that this is the ear that heard in the Torah that it is best to be free. Work and service are the same word, Avoda, which can also mean Slave and Worker.
To do what you love is work; to do another person love is slavery.

Marital Instability
The fight over marriage proves that both sides have lost their way. Marriage has become a dogmatic institution where one gets rewarded through tax breaks and other initiatives for having followed the rules. One of the Seven Commandments given to the people of the earth from the time of Noah and the Flood is to make laws concerning sexuality by which a society can maintain ethical-moral stability, but to include the restriction of marriage goes too far.
The Jewish People who were chosen to perform the 613 Commandments do not require marriage and there is no stigma attached to the child coming out of wedlock. The Cabala is threaded throughout with all sorts of sexual inferences and metaphors speaks nowhere about the necessity of marriage.
In Jewish Law only the man is commanded to marry and have children, the woman is free and only marries for love.
