CABALA (KABBALAH) OF NEWT

Newt Gingrich fought his way to the top of the Republican presidential field the old-fashioned way: making fun of hippies, Go get a job, right after you take a bath, Gingrich advised Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Someone should remind Newt, there are no jobs and only a quarter of the work force has steady employment; as for being hippies, one could do worst in this world – one might become a politician. At least, you can count on the hippies; politicians are famous for betrayal.

They say, If you cut a hippie, the length of time between baths can be ascertained by counting the dirt rings. Dirt is holy. The altar in the Temple was filled with dirt, the human being is made of dirt – food grows from the earth. The Cabala (Kabbalah) explains dirt.

Dirt represents the exterior of the fourth and lowest spiritual world called Asiah/Action; earth is called Eretz/I Run – after we die, We sleep in the earth. Politicians have no use or respect for the earth, or those of us who live upon the earth and in the dirt.

Politicians are known to have clean shirts but dirty underwear. The Cabala (Kabbalah) explains, Dovid, the first dynastic King of Israel, was chosen by God because Dovid was not a politician. The pig, reviled throughout the Middle East, has only the outside sign of kosher.

Tripping Out

Scientists are taking a new look at hallucinogens using rigorous protocols and safeguards, scientists have won permission to study the potential for treating mental problems and illuminating the nature of consciousness.

The biggest casualty of the war on drugs are all the people who could have valued from their use; from psychosis to depression hallucinogens have been used forever by indigenous peoples to break through spiritual and physical boundaries. A realignment of the senses helps to alter habitual negative behavior.

The war on drugs hurts the needy while rewarding the drug companies and their habituating mind altering drugs which render the human being docile and easily manipulated by those in power. Natural drugs are illegal because the government can not control them–the limit of statutory freedom.

The only plants in the Torah that are illegal are the fruits of a tree during the first three years of growth or any food grown during the Shemita–the seven year intervals of resting the land. Hallucinogens were used in the incense burnt in the Temple.

Without the use of hallucinogens the Cabala describes in minute detail the workings of the brain and how the soul infuses into the flesh to bring about consciousness. Scientist look out into space searching for conscious beings, but the truth is everything is conscious of the Creator–it can be no other way.

The Opiate of the Masses

Opiates for the masses may not be far off because scientists have figured how to synthesize morphine in the opium poppy.

What God created is somehow illegal and what man invented is only better because it allows man to place a price on pain so the people in power can get richer. If opium was legal then Afghanistan would be a rich and successful country and the world would have a safe natural escape from pain.

The Talmud-Book of Law details how pain is figured into the equation of damages including Koev HaLev/Pain of the Heart speaking of a more spiritual pain. Spiritual pain is much more severe than physical pain since the body can only take a limited amount of pain whereas the soul’s pain is without limit.

The Cabala explains how pain is a reflection of our ability to know which is why humans obviously feel pain to more of a degree than animals as witness by those fainting from pain. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, It is better to endure the pain in this life and fix what has to be fixed than to wait for the next world where the greatest pain is embarrassment.

Governments are notorious for fixing what is not broken. Torah which means Teaching prohibits no plants.

New Moon of Adar

Adar is the happiest, most joyous month of the Hebrew calendar. In fact, its motto is "When Adar comes, joy is increased."

The first commandment given to the Jewish People on the precipice of leaving slavery and becoming a nation 3500 years ago is This Month will be the beginning of your months. Though the world counts new years from the fall, Rosh HaShana/Head of Years the Jewish people count years from the spring.

Adar is then the last month of the Jewish year where in the middle of the month is celebrated the holiday of Purim/Lots called so because of the lottery thrown by the wicked Haman to find the appropriate day to wipe out the Jewish People. Our history has been fraught with individuals sent like curses to destroy the Jewish People but yet we survive–through God’s intervention.

The story of Purim teaches how illogic can overcome logic in the month which concludes the year on a happy note. The Jewish nation over 3500 years have brought Torah to the earth along with three levels of explanation:Talmud-Law; Midrash-Story and Zohar-Secret, the Cabala is the key to opening the Zohar.

From the joy and illogic of Adar will come a new year full of new insights into the eternal Torah.

A Moment of Peace

The Doomsday Clock a barometer of nuclear danger for the past 55 years has been moved one minute further away from the "midnight hour".

The Talmud–Book of Law begins with a lengthy explanation about midnight since the day begins at night; the Torah records at the end of each of the Six Days of Creation there was night and there was day–a complete day. The idea of night is stridently different from the day time when middle can be ascertained through the sun.

According to the Talmud the night is divided into three parts with midnight happening in the middle of the second part, but according to the Cabala the night has four parts and midnight is the thread of Compassion. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor recounts how King Dovid would awake at midnight by means of his harp and the north winds which until today blows at midnight.

Recognizing that the first half of the night was connected with Gevorah/Severity, 2000 years ago people slept during the first half of the night and then awoke to begin a new day with study and prayer, but Roman midnight is one of annihilation, Armageddon and a futureless future.

While secular time moves backwards, away from destruction, spiritual time moves forward into the future. 


The Great Divide

As the world focuses on the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians, a divide is growing within Israel–religious and secular Jews.

The ancient divide between secular and spiritual goes back thousands of years, but religion has more to do with politics than spirit–two sides of the same secular Roman coin.

There is no word for religion in Hebrew and the divide among the Jewish People which surfaced 2500 years ago a result of the Greek invasion goes all the way back to the building of the Golden Calf at the giving of the Torah 3500 years. The Golden Calf was built because the people doubted that God, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth was present in creation.

The ancients knew of God but surmised that the Creator was too great to be interested in creation; Avraham 4000 years ago came with the message that God is One meaning God in present in the world. Religion took the good message of Avraham and made it into monotheism–the basis of religion.

The Torah is a document meant to be performed on the land of Israel whose borders are specifically set in the Written Text. The Cabala explains in minute detail the workings of creation and how the Torah is applicable throughout the world.

The Secular Mind

Russia is considering to launch a spacecraft capable of moving a huge asteroid in a bid to protect Earth from the remote chance of an impact on April 13, 2036. The asteroid will fly within 18,300 miles of Earth.

The secular mind envisions a chaotic universe produced from a big bang ending in entropy–a purposeless creation. In such a reality one can never be too careful. It is this basic perception from the secular mind which has destroyed our world and pit man against his brother.

This gloomy outlook on life inspires greed and immoral behavior, even crimes against children can be rationalized by the secular mind. Religion is the other side of the secular coin promising Hell and eternal suffering–the coin of Rome.

The days of Rome are over and the world is about to undergo major change as secular thinking is replaced by spiritual awareness as prophesied in the Torah; prognosticated by many other holy books and peoples around the world whose vision is fixed on pattern instead of substance predict a rosy future.

The asteroid rushing to the earth will arrive four years before the end of the Jewish century 5796 on the first day of Passover. Only the Creator who creates creation moment by moment knows the final destination of each grain of sand. Those who see the pattern trust in the Maker of the world.

Wind, Air and Water

The Wampanoag tribes asked the Interior Department to declare all of Nantucket Sound, where a 130 wind turbines would be built, a “traditional cultural properties”. Tribal officials say their culture requires them to greet the sunrise each day and that this ritual requires unobstructed views of the horizon.

There are two types of human beings as put forth in the Torah/Teaching: one is physical and the other spiritual; the physical human being needs to gather together because there is power in numbers whereas the spiritual human beings wants to find their unique way in the world.

No one man can obstruct the horizon, pollute the rivers and seas or dump tons of toxic waste into the atmosphere–only a group can accomplish that dubious deed. In our technological world it may seem absurd that a spiritual consideration should be allowed to slow the pace of progress since the physical human being only believes what he sees.

In the Torah is written, lift up your eyes and see what God has created; the Cabala explains the physical eyes are never satisfied–meaning, when one recognizes physicality comes from the essence of the Creator to bring something out of nothing then eyes will never stop looking.

The human being is likened to a mirror, some with a thin veneer of silver which allows the light to be seen and reflect back; others have too much silver that takes the light and gives nothing back.

S&P 500 and the 13 Year Cycle

In 2002 the S&P 500 index bottomed at 777 and a month ago on March 6th the index hit 666 in a 13th month cycle according to the blog Trend & Value Letter.

The Cabala relates the number 777 to the Angel of Death, the number 666 to orgasm and 13 is the gematria of Echud/One. Attributing characteristic to numbers is important because it is a way for God to communicate directly. Since the Creator of creation is neither physical nor spiritual God has the problem of communicating to creation through the human being who has freedom of choice.

Sometimes God jokes to make a hard time less difficult like naming the leaders of our country who were bent on raping the world Dick and Bush; now that it is all over it is obvious that Bush was only a cover for Dick. Other times God just wants to let us know when the misery begins and when it is over.

Looks like the bottom has been hit—now we can ascend without limit.

Prospects for Peace

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's incoming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu struck a conciliatory tone as he took office Tuesday, promising to seek a "permanent arrangement" with the Palestinians and full peace with the entire Arab and Muslim world.

In his speech the Prime Minister reminded how the Jewish and Arab Peoples have had productive periods of history where they lived together peacefully—he held out the hope of a return to those days. Everyone realizes the problem is with the extremists and certainly to moderate extremes helps to lessen the tension, but a strong center is inevitable if there is to be lasting peace.

The Cabala explains how the center of all things is composed from will, the will of each side to meld together; essence is described as will—a focused line emanating from the highest spiritual level down to the very earth. It is this middle line which allows creation to exist and it is this middle line that will bring peace to the Middle East.

Between two wills is the nothing of submission that melds the two together. Islam means Submission and Yehudi/Jewish means Admission; there is no greater love than the love between two brothers because of their equality—there is a way to peace through will and love.
