Revolution

Tens of thousands of students took to the streets on more than a dozen Iranian campuses Monday in the biggest anti-government protests in months.

No matter how extreme or liberal is the religion in the end they all turn tyrannical. Iran and their 30 year revolution has bogged down on authority. In the protests some were heard to shout, death to the dictator.

In the Torah revolution is inevitable, desirable and the obvious outcome of completion–once completion happens it is necessary to begin anew–go higher, penetrate further. Revolution is the substance of movement and movement is the definition of animated life.

The Torah delineates the human being’s motion from the rest of creation as being Mahalach/Walker because through our freedom of choice here on this physical plane we are able to effectuate change in our soul; the Talmud-Book of Law identifies certain Rabbis as Rutzim/Runners like Rabbi Akiva who if left alone to pray would start in one corner of the room but end up in the other because of frequent bowing and prostrations.

Life needs to be looked at from many different perspectives in order to affix a proper path to the future. The Torah gives us the outer look, the Cabala the inner look while the Talmud and Midrash are the space in between.

The Whole and the Fraction

Federal figures released Friday showed that the unemployment rate fell from 10.2 percent in October to 10 percent.

The difference between 10 and 10.2 is significant because creation is based on ten known in the Cabala as the Ten Sefirot/Luminaries–the Tree of Life. Ten is reflected in our world as the sun and the nine planets, the seven continents and the three oceans, the ten fingers and the ten toes of the human body.

The duality from where the Ten Sefirot derive is called Ereck Onpin/Large Faces and Atic Yomin/Ancient Days, but as the Sefer Yitzera/Book of Form written 4000 years ago by Avraham states, There are ten and not eleven–meaning, the derivation of the Ten Sefirot are fractions.

The Cabala explains the duality from which the ten derives are identified as Will and Pleasure–the basis of chaos. Chaos is what the government is trying to avoid.

The previous world was called Tohu/Chaos and this world is called Tikun/Fixing because it is our job to fix the past by bringing order out of chaos. By eliminating the fraction order is established.

Everyone celebrates the reduction in unemployment, but beyond that is a sign from heaven that we have drawn back from the brink.

Sex and the Church

A diocese in Los Angeles has elected the second openly gay bishop in the global Anglican Church, an issue that has caused deep division.

It is very clear that the homosexuality alluded to in the Torah as an abomination only refers to Jewish men who are obligated through the Torah to refrain from complete pleasure–the inner reason for the circumcision. The doing of the 613 Commandments requires Jewish males to be devoted to God’s Will more than man’s pleasure.

Sexuality is left in the hands of the people to regulate because there is no good or bad sexuality between consenting human beings. The Church has taken an extreme view substantiating it with a false rendering of the Torah.

Similarly, issues of life and death like abortion and Hell and blatantly incorrect according to the Torah on which their views are based; according to the Torah a pregnancy can be terminated within 40 days and not be an abortion–Hell is just not true, a distortion of Ghahinom a place where the soul goes for 11 months after to death to forget physicality.

The church is based in a belief system; we believe what we don’t know–the Cabala explains how knowing and essence are interchangeable. The Torah states Man knew woman; he knew her, he did not believe in her.

Sex Addict

A Las Vegas woman who allegedly had an 18-month affair with Tiger Woods the superstar golfer who she describes as "a sex addict who relentlessly pursued women."

To be an athlete requires a finely tuned body; to be a billion dollar athlete requires a billion dollar body.

Sexuality is a conduit from the essence of the soul through the infinite sperm produced by the male into the finite female who is born with relatively few eggs to disperse through a couple of decades during her futile years.

Back in the days when men were men, meaning we all had at least million dollar body, men were expected to have more than one wife like the other large mammals where one male went with a herd of females.

It is expected of a finely tuned body to be addicted to sex; it is one of the burdens carried by athletes living in a monogamous country. The Torah teaches that marriage makes sex different, better more beautiful but it also contains the seeds of mistrust and betrayal.

One of the reasons why the Zohar–Book of Secret and the Cabala are not taught is because of their use of sexual metaphors to explain the working of creation since sexuality reaches to the essence.

Religion and the Kremlin

Russia and the Vatican have agreed to establish full diplomatic relations, the Kremlin has announced.

The Vatican epitomizes ancient Rome whose position of Pontiff, which comes from the Aramaic Pontus/Bridge, establishing celebrations to administer to the people continues until today–Julius Caesar was the last ancient Pontiff. The transition between ancient Rome and Modern Rome is the Vatican which ruled Italy until recently when the Vatican was required to become its own city-state entity with a place in the United Nations.

It says in the Midrash-Book of Metaphor that in the end Rome will be destroyed and only one wall will be left standing; it will be then when the Lion-Rome will lay down with the rest of the world–the Lamb. Rome who famously lives by the sword–the cross is no more than the hilt and the blade of the sword–will never be defeated, they will just give up the fight.

The world is tired of war and ready for justice. The Torah prophesies a time when the world will live without walls forged from peace.

In Hebrew Russia means Bad Person; the Cabala explains the highest action one can take is to make the bad to be good.

Democracy or Hypocrisy

A vote in Switzerland banning the construction of minarets on new mosques in a national referendum passed with 57.5 percent of the vote. The extreme right-wing Swiss People’s Party, the largest party in the Swiss Parliament, strongly promoted the measure.

Religion literally means in Latin to Retie; it was Christianity who forged religion by beating wisdom into dogma then forced other peoples to accept religion in order to receive a tax break, but now have retreated into hypocrisy. Up until the time of Christianity peoples waged war for gold and security, but 2000 years ago anew campaign started trying to conquer the world by the force of religion which relegated the army into exacting punishment for heresy–onward Christian soldiers.

Beauty as described in the Cabala is the merging of many colors, just one color no matter how brilliant is not considered beautiful. Also, real beauty is not just the exterior but must also have an inner dimension. Torah teaches about the falseness of grace and the vanity of beauty concluding that the awareness of God is more laudable.

Because of the similarities between Jewish and Islam we can pray together, but both are prohibited from praying with Christians because of their images and dogmas. Religion is so weak and wrong that when in trouble it begs the government not God for salvation.

There is no word in Hebrew or Arabic for religion, but there is a word for hypocrisy related to the pig which neither Jews nor Arabs eat.

The Politics of Jerusalem

An EU document stressing that East Jerusalem should be the capital of a future Palestinian state brought a sharp response today from Israel, which claimed Brussels was damaging the prospects of peace talks restarting.

Everyone in the world feels a right to Jerusalem because it is the fulcrum of major religions; but, there is no word for religion in either Hebrew and Arabic–making it purely a Christian concept where dogmas rules of reason.

Since Avraham, progenitor of West, East and Middle East, is the basis for the antiquity of those religions, they all feel empowered to make their views known; peoples throughout the world connect to Jerusalem where Avraham almost slain his son trying to do the will of God. Avraham misunderstood when God through angels said Ola/Go Up he thought Ola/Sacrifice–in the end God appreciated Avraham’s intentions.

Today the offspring of Avraham do not want Jerusalem for the right reason, a spiritual reason as Yaakov-Yisroel grandson to Avraham said, as recorded in the Torah, This place is a gateway to heaven. Between earth and heaven there is no politics, only the light of truth.

The Cabala adds that Yerushalim/Jerusalem has the meaning of Yira Shalom/Complete Fear; Yira/Fear comes from the word Reih/Vision–God does not want to see any politics in this holy city.
