THE CABALA OF DENIAL

President Bashar al-Assad of Syria denied that his regime had anything to do with the recent Houla massacre, saying that, Not even monsters would carry out such an ugly crime.

The Nile is not just a river in Egypt; the president of Syria is full of denial. The ego is the source of denial – a long river flowing to an ocean of arrogance. Assad only has to look to his father to see what monsters can do. He is a monster, the son of a monster.

Bilaam, the famous non-Jewish prophet prophesied with closed eyes; he lived during the time that Moshe received the Torah/Teaching, called Torat Emet/True Teaching,; the Zohar-Book of Secret teaches, Truth only happens when the eyes are open – Moshe spoke to God face to face.

When the word Emet/Truth was revealed to Moshe, he fell upon his face causing the Rabbis to ask, If Moshe could not stand up to truth then how can we trust in Moshe? Other Rabbis answered saying, Falling upon your face is an act of humility – truth can only be obtained through humility.

The monster refuses to look into the mirror lest he sees what is true. How many people will have to die until this monster is unveiled and the truth is seen? The Cabala, the most hidden of Jewish teachings, teaches: the greatest truth is the light that comes from the darkness.

THE CABALA OF LITTLE MONSTER

Leaders of the 27-member European Union Friday repeated calls on Syrian President Bashar al-Asad to step down and stressed that the EU will increase its pressure on the Syrian regime to end the violence.

His father, Hafex al-Asad, killed tens of thousands while the son kills thousands; the father was a monster – the son is a little monster. The world helplessly watches while the monster devourers his people, but there are more people than monster – power to the people.

The Talmud-Book of Law relates stories about ethereal monsters coming from spiritual worlds wrecking havoc upon the earth; but, these monsters, in their 42 year rule, are human beings. Asad in Arabic mean Lion; the lion has great attributes but the lion is an animal.

The Cabala explains, The lion, one of the four faces on the Merchava/Chariot is the spiritual root of all wild animals from the side of Chesed/Kindness. The human being, built from the YHVH, The Four Letter Name of God, epitomizes kindness by being attentive to creation.

A human monster is far worse than any monster from beyond because the human being has freedom of choice. Shamai, 2000 years ago, saw a skull floating on the water; he said to the skull, You drown because you drown someone and the person who drown you will also drown.
