THE CABALA OF POSSESSION

Roger Pion, a 34-year-old Vermont farmer, hopped in an oversized farm tractor, headed to the police station, and crushed seven police cars yesterday, taking revenge for a previous arrest over marijuana possession.

The people are pissed off; with all the problems in this country and around the world, one would think the police have better things to do with their time and resources. People want to be free, particularly in America – the land of the free and home of the brave.

There is a delicate balance in America between the authorities, who are expected to do their jobs, and the people who pay their wages – it is called democracy. The dysfunction in Washington has made the entire country edgy. Could the American Spring be on the horizon?

There is a shift happening in the world; through the help of technology, people have united with a common goal – to live together in peace. The arrogance of government needs to be tamed. America is a place of litigation and laws – to be free one must break the law.

The Cabala calls breaking laws, The sweetening of Gevorah/Severity, source of all law. What could be sweeter than crushing seven police cars, being that seven characteristics make up emotions as portrayed in the Tree of Life and police cars are symbol of authority.

Prison Deterrent

On Saturday in Oakland, California Lovelle Mixon, 26, was pulled over by two officers during a routine traffic stop. He opened fire on the officers, killing them and later fatally wounding two SWAT officers who stormed the apartment in which he was hiding.

Originally the American prison system was established as a deterrent; anyone witnessing or even hearing about such brute confinement is naturally deterred from breaking the law. But, after two centuries prisons have morphed into factories of criminality. For some, prison is how to get initiated into the gang, but for others the anger of prison dregs up all the evil inside the person then lets them lose on the streets.

In the Torah/Teaching there are no prisons, but there are Ari Miklot/Cities of Refuge where the criminals live with their families praying for the holiest man in the country to die; when the Cohen/Sever Godal/Great died the slate was wiped clean and all accused were released from the Cities of Refuge.

According to the Cabala, crime happens because holy people do not adequately perform their obligations.
