THE CABALA OF DIVISION

Hundreds of thousands of workers will receive letters warning that they could be out of a job in the Defense Industry if Congress doesn't act soon to reverse sequestration cuts that take effect in January if Congress doesn't agree on a plan to cut the deficit.

Military action depends on money to buy equipment and pay soldiers, when the money runs out then war ends. Sixty years ago President Eisenhower warned America against the Military-Industrial Complex; now, because of the division in people, politics and deficit spending, war will finally end.

Division is the opposite of God, known as Echud/One; yet, when two opposites coalesce, finding balance between two extremes, forming an earthly oneness, brings us closer to the Creator – who, out of One, created plurality. God is acknowledged when plurality becomes one.

War is a violent excuse to make peace; war separates the soul from the body – war sucks, but people make money. The system of war, once in place, begins to dictate when to go to war – war becomes a viable, political option. We die, not for freedom, but to make the few rich.

According to the Cabala, Milchoma/War is a combination of Mil/Cut and Choma/Hot; both heating and cutting separates – the separation is both the sickness and the remedy. When division unifies, then the political wellness of country, financial stability and spiritual enlightenment, ensues.

THE CABALA OF POT

In Chicago, a new policy on marijuana possession would mean adults who are caught with a small amount of the illegal drug would receive a fine instead of being arrested; it's mostly about money and how best to use police resources.

War is a fight over power and money; the drug war instituted by Bush 41 after the fall of the Soviet Union was a way to keep war going even though there was no enemy – the government smuggled drugs and weapons into vulnerable communities igniting a tinderbox of violence.

Rome, who lives by the sword, can only exist and prosper when there is war – if there is no war, then make a war; now, the money and resources needed to keep that war going is running out due to dismal state of the economy. In a sense, pot has won the stupid war on drugs.

The real war of senseless violence has overtaken the war against drugs; a small war has led to a big war in America and Mexico – the legalization of drugs is the remedy to this sudden rise in violence. Rich people get their drugs from the doctor while the poor get drugs from the street.

If Afghanistan was allowed to soothe the pain in the world through their indigenous poppy seed they would be a wealthy country. The Cabala teaches, when a murderer was put to death he was given a drug to block the pain, how much more so people who live in pain deserve their drug of choice.

THE CABALA OF BANKS

Fifteen big banks saw their credit downgraded yesterday, with many falling to levels barely above investment grade—a reflection of the risky conditions that the financial institutions face.

Fifteen is complete, as in the fifteenth day of the lunar month when the moon is full, after that the moon begins to decline; the world is full of money and as a result, the value of money is beginning to decline – the acquisition of money is simply not worth the trouble.

As the global consumption wanes, so will the worth of money until the moon is blotted out and a new system replaces the old. Land, food and water to support a family is paramount in the future when the intermediary of money will be less necessary because of love.

Love of humanity, love of the environment and most of all love of children who will lead the world into the future. The Baby-Boomers, who are presently retiring, have been the greediest generation in history, eating up their inheritance and now wanting to be subsidized.

The Cabala puts little faith in money because money is endemically false, the promise of countries deeply in debt. Love gives without wanting interest; the Jewish People are commanded to love God with all their heart, soul and money – we love God with money by not loving money.

THE CABALA OF MONEY

The median U.S. household lost 40% of its wealth from 2007 to 2010, leaving the median U.S. family in 2010 with no more money than it had in the early 1990s, erasing almost two decades of accumulated prosperity, the Federal Reserve said Monday.

The good new is, the rich got richer; what trickles down to the people is the debt – there is no question, money is completely overvalued. Gold, silver and other precious metals and commodities have intrinsic value, but money is but a promissory note lacking collateral.

The best things in life, like family and love, are free and can not be bought. Money is the oppressor causing people to forfeit their freedom, selling themselves into slavery to acquire money. Money is a lie, a fabrication meant to be a stumbling block before the blind.

Money is comparable to insects who fly in the air but would bury the world three miles high if they fell to the ground; so too, money has to keep moving – motion is a sign of life, once money stops flowing it dies. The forty percent drop is forty percent of nothing.

Cabala explains, the letter Mem with a value of forty is the only letter spelled out using it same letter – MM, constituting the abstract of confine; all other letters are spelled out utilizing other letters. The confine of money is a walled-in prison with a life sentence.

THE CABALA OF REVOLUTION

Gov. Scott Walker beat back a recall challenge Tuesday; Democrats and organized labor spent millions to oust Walker, but found themselves hopelessly outspent by Republicans from across the country who donated record-setting sums to Walker.

America the Beautiful has been replaced by America the Bought, thrusting America into an ideological war pitting money against people; the Supreme Court by allowing unfettered donations under the guise of free speech has taken politics out of the hands of the people.

The people lost last night but revolution won – the people have a choice, be slaves to the corporations and financial institution or embrace revolution. America was built on revolution; America will decline if the people are not freed – money can’t buy you love or freedom.

At the end of the last Temple in Jerusalem, rich people would pay for the right to enter the Holy of Holies instead of letting the righteous do their job; this abuse of power and money led to the destruction of the Temple. America is no longer a bastion of freedom, what a pity.

The Cabala explains, Only the Torah makes a person free because Torah is synonymous with truth; there is no truth in politics – the science of the lie. Constant revolution is the only path to truth; when we give up our dreams we relinquish our lives – revolution is forever.

THE CABALA OF BIGGER

Today the rising steel frame of the World Trade Center is expected to become the tallest building in New York City and in the Western Hemisphere; in Australia a mining magnate has commissioned a Chinese shipyard to build a replica of the ill-fated Titanic.

What is it in man pushing him to want bigger? The letters of Adom, the name of the first man, can be rearranged to read Moad/More – meaning, the intrinsic nature of man is to want more; but, according to the Cabala, the greater the vessel the less the light.

This distinction between light and vessel can be seen in human body made in three sections: head, torso and legs; the head, which is the smallest of the three parts, houses the greater light, while the hips and legs, which are furthest from the head, have the least light.

This generality is also true spiritually – humility brings about awakening while the arrogance of money and power blots out heaven. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor quotes God as saying, If you open for me the space the size of a needle head, I will open for you the great hall.

Performing a small action of humility causes a great tumult in heaven; whereas, the endeavors of pointless people with too much money make no impression in heaven, whatsoever. The Talmud-Book of Law teaches, Better to be the tail of the lion than the head of the fox.

THE CABALA OF CHARITY

The Vatican has launched a rare criminal investigation to uncover who is behind leaks of highly sensitive documents that allege corruption and financial mismanagement in Vatican City.

The religion of money or the money of religion is antithetical to spirituality. The Cabala expresses this sentiment in a metaphor: the soul is compared to a pane of glass but once in this world the pane of glass requires a veneer of silver to survive, producing a mirror.

When there is too much silver on the pane of glass the mirror turns black; instead of reflecting the light the mirror absorbs the light. The soul is sent to this world with a mission – lift up physicality by reflecting back into heaven beyond the place from where the light emanated.

Religion is in the business of money by virtue of selling heaven to the unsuspecting and the naive; all souls go to heaven when the mirror of life is broken at death – there is nowhere else to go. Religion propagates fear through the myth of Hell and eternal suffering.

But, God is good; the only suffering after death is the embarrassment felt by the soul for the way they led their life. The greatest use of money is to perform the commandment of Zdaka/Charity; the greatest charity is to help another human being obtain a job thus achieving independence.

THE CABALA OF KILLING

The U.S. government has paid $50,000 in compensation for each of the Afghan villagers who were killed in a shooting rampage in which an American soldier faces murder charges, Afghan officials said Sunday; families of the wounded received $11,000 per injured victim.

What is the monetary worth of a human being? Ground, plants and animals all have determined values but the human being, other than being sold into slavery, is valueless because the human being has unlimited potential; the human soul is not limited by instinct.

The numbers chosen by the US government happens to correspond to the two cabalistic numbers representing chaos – 11 and 50. The Ten Sefirot/Luminaries, the cabalistic atom known as the Tree of Life, is the prototype of creation, but the source comes from Keter/Crown – eleven.

Whereas the ten is a matter of cause and effect, 11 is beyond reason; similarly, the number 50 is also beyond comprehension – known as the Fiftieth Gate of Bena/Understanding is beyond understanding. Why some die while others live is beyond the comprehension of the human being.

On Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year, we exclaim: many will pass away and many will live; who will pass away and who will live is determined by God, but Tshuva/Repentance, Tefila/Prayer and Charity repeal the difficult decrees from the Creator.

THE CABALA OF BUDGET DEFICITS

The United States economy will remain sluggish for the next few years, with unemployment high, but budget deficits are starting to come down; the deficit in the current fiscal year is expected to be $1.1 trillion.

In terms of Cabala, One is light and zero is the vessel to hold the light; the vessel derives from the Name Elohim, which can be translated as, God of Plurality – HaTava/The Nature shares the same equivalent gematria of 86. Each fractal of nature is a vessel to the light.

The One of God means, God is everywhere all the time to everyone – never weakening, but the one of man is continually divisible until the zeros drain away the light. The obvious problem with the economy is, too many zeros – too many things draining away the light.

The Cabala explains, In the previous world of Tohu/Chaos the light was strong but the vessel to hold the light was weak; in our world, called Tikun/Fixing, the light is divisible and weak – the vessel is strong enough to hide the light that can be sensed but not seen.

The purpose of the vessel is to reflect back to the Creator; a mirror is made by a thin veneer of silver; too much silver, the mirror darkens; instead of reflecting, the light becomes captive. Making government more efficient will release the trapped light.

CABALA (KABBALAH) OF CONGRESS

The financial gap between Americans and their representatives in Congress has widened since 1984 until 2009; the median net worth of a member of the House more than doubled while the wealth of an American family has declined.

The year 1984 began with Ronald Wilson Reagan (six letters in each name, who later retired to a home with the address 666) had just won reelection; he was also the fortieth president – forty is denoted by the letter Mem, first letter of Magog, the prophetic war to come.

Gog is made from the two Georges with Clinton in between represented by the letter Vav, a vertical line was the 42nd president (Mob/42 is the essence of Mars); at the year 2000 in the Roman calendar, expired the rulership of Mars to whom Rome prays – the god of war.

In 1998 the word Nachosh/Serpent was made from the Hebrew letters; Bill Gates changed his name, adding a senior, to achieve the number 666 in ASCII – 1999 spelled out Satan and was 666 upside-down. In 2003 Mars came closest to the earth, two years later Rome fell.

Katrina is from the letters Keter/Crown also related to Mars, the previous world that seeded this world with life and had rulership over the Earth for 2000 years. The Cabala systematically constructs the configuration of creation making sense out of science and history.

CABALA (KABBALAH) OF DEBT

With a deadline less than a week away, members of a 12-member Super Committee tasked with finding $1.2 trillion in budget savings over 10 years, confronted a growing national debt, which just crossed the $15 trillion mark.

The twelve members of the government trying to tackle a tenth of the national deficit over ten years to reduce the 15 trillion number to under 14 trillion are still deadlocked. Twelve is big in Cabala (Kabbalah) and in our world surrounded by stars set in twelves houses.

The Torah/Teaching of the Jewish People, traces the family tree of Arab, Jewish and Roman Peoples each through twelve tribes. The Cabala (Kabbalah) teaches, Each twelve hour segment of time is a product three combinations of God's Four Letter Name YHVH.

The number 15 indicates fullness, like the 15 days of the full moon; America has reached the fullness of debt – 14 is gematria Dovid who is Malchut/Royalty. Malchut has nothing of her own, she is poor. Fullness brings on arrogance; as the Torah says, They got fat and kicked.

The politicians are also full, so full of themselves that there is no longer anything to negotiate. America in Hebrew is Am Raik/Empty People; an empty vessel is a strong vessel, but a full vessel is weak. America is strong when she is empty, but weak when she is full.

POWER AND MONEY

Hillary Clinton said in a speech Friday that in today’s world, economic power matters more than military might; consider this: the United States is the sole global military power, and yet our influence is waning.

Ancient Rome was known for their sword (the blessing to Esua, twin brother of Yaakov progenitor of the 12 Jewish Tribes, was to live by the sword) and their coin, the coin of Rome. All roads lead to Rome because that is where the money is – the basis of money.

Money used to be backed up by gold, a raw precious metal that could be implemented, but our money is only based on promises from a government trillion of dollars in debt. What makes these governments so sure of themselves is the Roman religion – Christianity.

Religion, also makes promises they can not keep. After the Tech Bubble and after the Real-estate Bubble is the Reality Bubble; the previous reality woven by religion and substantiated by power-economics is soon going to burst, to be replaced by a bright future.

As the Sword of Rome, dulled by too much use, retires and the coin of Rome, with tarnished reputation, shrivels in worth and the assurance of religion lands on the deaf ears of the illiterate, something beautiful is being born before our eyes, as witness to the future.

Godless in America

Atheists are heavily concentrated in economically developed countries, particularly the social democracies like America; in underdeveloped countries, there are virtually no atheists.

Atheism is a peculiarly modern phenomenon where money has replaced God while religion sells places in heaven. More primitive countries who have yet to be defiled by money still trust in God.

The Cabala explains how the body has a nature to survive thus focusing on the material but it is the soul which gives life to the body–substance is only a vehicle through which life filters from the heavens down to the earth. The essence of life calls to us with the voice of pleasure found in our food and our physical environment.

The strong animal nature within the human being prevents those searching for a closer connection with the Creator; stymied by the need for substance, the allure of money, the gleam of silver modern man is blinded into thinking creation is a haphazard affair.

Invariably when giving a coin to a beggar they respond with, “God bless you” because the less we have the more we see. In the Tulmud–Book of Law to term Sogi Ore/Too Much Light is used to describe a blind person; those afflicted with the need for more substance are blind to God.

King Coin

Goldman Sachs was accused of securities fraud for selling a mortgage investment that was secretly intended to fail.

Bob said, Steal a little and they put you in jail, steal a lot and the make you king. We live in a kingdom of money where the royalty fights to be king, but America is famous for rejecting kings–we are a democracy based on liberty and freedom.

We are free to speak and there is really only one thing to say–fuck you: Fornication Under Consent of the King; those who hold power by virtue of money have had their hypocrisy exposed–actions that infuriates the common citizen.

The Torah teaches about land and family being the kingdom of earth; corporation had not yet been invented for the purpose of manipulation leading to subjugation. One of the signs of servitude from ancient Egypt as recorded in the Torah was to continually move the workforce to separate the people from the land.

Money in modern day Hebrew is Chesef/Silver; the Cabala connects Chesef to Chesofta/Unbridled Desire which when directed towards God reflects the light back, called Ore Chazor/Returning Light. A mirror is covered by a thin layer of silver, if the silver is too thick the light is absorbed instead of reflected.

The Apple Irony

Apple on Thursday announced that more than 10 billion songs have been purchased and downloaded from the company's iTunes Store. The song bought was, Johnny Cash's "Guess Things Happen That Way."

In the Torah and particularly in the Cabala ten is fundamental. The Ten Sepirot/Luminaries the cabalistic atom from which all creation stems is a ten-based patterned as reflected in the Ten Commandments and the ten celestial bodies the sun and nine planets that make up our solar system.

The fundamental numbers in the Torah according to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet go from one until ten corresponding to the first ten letters, afterwards each letter is ten until the last four letters which are 100. The final number in Hebrew is 400.

The essence which is One is found just beyond ten; known in the Cabala as Keter/Crown essence is considered 100 compared to creation which is considered to be ten. In the Cabala ten tens which equals one hundred is considered one–all inclusive.

Also in the world of money one, ten and one hundred are fundamental. The Talmud-Book of Law says, More is less and less is more; Esau father of Rome says in the Torah, I have a lot–Yaakov father of the Twelve Jewish Tribes purveyor of Oneness says, I have everything.

Too Big to Fail

EU leaders say they are ready to act to shore up Greece's finances and ensure stability in the eurozone but they have made no specific promise of aid.

Economics only works for the high echelon rich who are the ones who established the economic rules which include paying themselves obscene amounts of money as bonuses. Whether people, institutions or countries their too big too fail status is because they are the bedrock of our society.

There is a need for rich people being dispersers of kindness–a king like quality, but that requires a heavenly approach. When the rich only want to be richer by buying up more earth there becomes less room for the rest of us–then overpopulation becomes a matter of too many rich people.

In Hebrew the term often used for riches is Kesof/Silver which has an additional meaning of Desire; desire is a spiritual phenomenon and one can not fill a spiritual need with physicality because spirit last forever while the earth constantly degrades. Those who make money for money sake are detrimental to the health of the world.

The Cherubim, depicting the mother of souls described in the Torah was made of gold; the Talmud-Book of Law says if they were made of silver they would represent idols–the Cabala concludes Those lost in riches are furthest away from God.

Tower of Babel

The Burj/Tower a half-mile-high skyscraper officially opened yesterday looking like a modern-day Tower of Babel. Dubai has been wracked by a debt crisis, and the building stands mostly empty and unwanted by the international tenants for whom it was supposedly built.

The original Tower of Babel was built on Mars according to the Zohar-Book of Secret; the Midrash–Book of Metaphor explains how 4000 years ago Nimrod made himself king over the world convincing the people to conquer the heavens to prevent another flood. The Talmud-Book of Law says the Tower was so large that one could walk beneath its shadow for three days; the Tower could be seen from all parts of the earth.

In Dubai where the rich and powerful had begun moving their operations is an earthly monument to the affliction of man waring with God–the premise to the Tower of Babel. Interestingly, the tower in Dubai has been renamed to reflect the leader of that country–a clear declaration and split with the west.

In the story of the Tower of Babel the human beings were forced to spread out throughout the earth abandoning a central focus other than the Creator. This modern day repetition of this ancient tale bodes badly for the future of economics and money in particular. Money, power and religion are doomed because the innate spirit of the good human being is on the ascent.

The Drugged Economy

Drugs money worth billions of dollars kept the financial system afloat at the height of the global crisis according to the head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime.

In the West the four elements of fire, air, water and earth are acknowledged because they represent the four states of matter; in the East there are five elements, earth being further divided into metal. Metal the lowest element, hard and cold is represented by money and those who pander in money tend also to be cold and hard.

Money is an expedient way of assessing worth by refining property down into metal in the same way drug dealers refine the poppy or the coco plant into heroin and cocaine. The addictive nature of money and drugs makes their mutual reliance into an inevitable symbiotic relationship.

The Cabala describes spiritual refinement as a process separating the heavy from the light–the heavy falls down to the earth. The job of the human being is to extract the good embedded in the hardness of the earth and lift it into heaven through the effort of our good deeds.

The 613 commandments in the Torah are embodied by the proscription to give Ztadaka/Charity from the word Zdadek/Righteous–the way to rectify the mean spirit of money is through giving.

The Dubai Problem

The news that the sovereign wealth fund of Dubai requested a postponement of billions of dollars of debt this week could pose a big problem for U.S. banks.

The tiny country of Dubai holds the sixth largest oil reserves and with friendly relation with the West were well on their way to becoming an international center of money and power until gluttony overcame reason. Dubai is at the top of the Tower of Babel.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says the top of the tower burned and those inside died because they were the ones making war on God–wanting to make a tower so high that could be seen from around the world–Dubai sports the highest building in the world, the Burj/Tower.

The Tower can no longer meet their obligations and all those who depend on the Tower are suddenly experiencing the strange sensation of insecurity, pity. The world is beginning to reassess the meaning and worth of money; rich people who have exploited the world for their own avarice are no longer held in esteem.

The Torah extolls the human being beyond all other creatures or elements because of our freedom to chose and our ability to articulated thoughts into speech.

All of the resources and animals of the world rely upon our good judgment.
