Lions Win

The Detroit Lions were able to run onto the field in celebration of their first win in 20 games. This was the Lions' first regular-season win since Dec. 23, 2007 as they snapped a 19-game losing skid.

There is a spiritual significance in all things in their time, some are more obvious than others like the NFL Detroit Lions who averted 20 loses in a row on the eve of Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement for the Jewish People. Winning on the 20th is significant since the number 20 refers to Keter/Crown as reflected in the power of will and the power of pleasure–the two essential forces of the human soul invested in the body as a crown that surrounds.

Coming on the eve of Yom Kippur is also significant since the ten days between Rosh HaShana/New Year and Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement are days of Royalty when God is crowned by the people accepting the judgement of the King. Yom Kippur ends with the fifth and final prayer as the sun declines on the holy day called Nilia/Locking extolling the Creator as King.

After Nila we go back to calling God Ail/Kind instead of Melech/King. Lions are the symbol of kindness in the Torah and is often embroidered into the cloth covering of the Torah–two lions with crowns on their heads.

Hermaphrodite

The controversy over gender row champion runner Caster Semenya deepened today–after reports claimed sex swap tests have shown she is a hermaphrodite. South African gold-medallist Semenya, 18, has both male and female organs, it was claimed.

The famous statement in the Torah that God created Adom (human being) male and female is interpreted by the Midrash-Book of Metaphor as being hermaphrodite–the perfect human being. The first human was able to be impregnated from within, Semenya, a women harbors two testicles within.

Rosh HaShana /New Year is the holiday celebrating that first creation 5770 years ago; Rosh HaShana is celebrated this year beginning Friday night–this two day holiday corresponds to the two hemispheres of the brain male and female.

The first human being was male with female within; man’s inability to identify women caused God to split them in two; Semenya is the opposite: women without and male within–perhaps this is reflective of the coming 1000 years denoted as the Thousand Years of Woman when peace will reign supreme. A picture of Semenya reveals a beautiful women with slightly masculine features.

The Cabala maintains that beauty is only found in the mixing of different types like one would mix color; the ultimate mixing is of male and female the building blocks of creation.
