Pedophile Priests

New details emerged on allegations of child sexual abuse by a priest in the Munich archdiocese then led by Pope Benedict XVI which the Vatican has called an aggressive campaign against the pope in his native Germany.

It is hard to imagine a person photographed in Nazi uniform raising to the position of Pope and them being implicated in sexual abuse scandal and still retaining their position.

The law coming out of the Pope who heads the Catholic Holy Roman Church is the strictest in the world. Only the Church believes in eternal Hell which is as false as a man of flesh and blood being God; in the same way the Church turns a blind eye to their own conduct they also turn a blind eye to the truth.

It is recorded in the Torah before the time of the prophets the judges would say to the people “take the splinter from your eye” and the people would respond to the judges saying, Take the board from your eyes.

Those who judge must themselves be judged with the same severity melted out to others. The Cabala says Moshiach will come when severity is sweetened, but first it must be judged. The law proscribed to all the people of the earth through Noah and his three sons insists that children must be protected from sexual predators no matter what that stature or place.

Happy Pi Day

Mathematics enthusiasts will today be celebrating Pi day, which falls on 14 March in honor of the famous ratio's first few digits, 3.14.

Pi is explained in the Torah/Teaching as the result of limiting creation by the word Di/Enough; Di/14 is explained in the Talmud-Book of Law how the first light moved at infinite speed until the Creator yelled at the light, Di/Enough–solidifying time.

Because of this the Talmud concludes God is called Shadi/Who Said Di; the letter Shin/300 makes the first three digits of pi–314. Scientists are baffled by the existence of pi in the most unlikely places as if it is a signature of the Creator, which is true.

The idea of pi is radical–numbers without end or pattern, complete chaos. The Vilna Goan says the Name Shadi should be read backwards indicating the stream of letters ending with point three–it is how the light comes to us from the heavens until hitting the point that separates spiritual from the three physical dimensions of length, width and breath.

The Cabala connects pi with woman’s breast called Shadiam because there is always enough milk for the infant. Life is based on pi the milk of kindness delivered by steams of white light from the bosom of the Creator.

Stupid America

The Texas Board of Education approved a social studies curriculum that will put a conservative stamp on history and economics textbooks stressing the role of Christianity in America.

The freedom of religion written in the American Constitution derives from the Puritans who left Europe because it was not strict enough for them; they wanted a haven where the most abusive practices could become dogma. America provided that freedom plus natives ripe for abuse.

Along with the refugees from countries around the world were these religious fanatics who like a virus could gather together at any time and make mass disruptions in the country like: prohibition, war against drugs, abortion. Religion in our country is beyond reproach enjoying complete immunity and privacy while constantly collecting money and property without ever paying taxes.

There is no word for religion in Hebrew, Arabic or Sanskrit–the three languages coming from Avraham 4000 years ago; the closest thing to religion were the ancient Egyptians whose priests were called magicians–distorters of truth. Religion is stupid that is why Americans are stupid believing in a distorted truth.

Torah means Teaching, the teaching of truth and has a simple rendered meaning on four levels all expanded by ten endlessly. Within this labyrinth of life delineated by the separations of time is the symmetry of God’s thoughts as explained in the Cabala.

Cars Restrained

The Department of Transportation announced Thursday that the number of people killed in highway crashes 33,000 deaths last year was the lowest since 1954.

A Rebbe was once quoted as saying, Try everything once but that does not include driving a car–don’t even bother. Perhaps what the Rebbe found so repugnant about the automobile was the rote way required to learn to drive. Driving does not engage the mind, but on the contrary numbs the senses.

Better roads and safer cars undoubtably account for a large part of the reduction in deaths and injuries but the acceptance of rote behavior as a model citizen is alarming. The greatest commodity given to the human being is freedom of choice and driving car is very restrictive because of precise laws and practices comprising the rules of the road.

Rote actions are an offshoot of religion demanding total control over the lives they shepherd to reduce the amount of short term suffering. Accidents can never be completely wiped out since God needs occasional accidents to take us out of the world.

The Torah is more concerned with how we move spiritually than physically; the Cabala gives us the answers to time and space–the ancients were known to have wisdom concerning the pathways in the heavens but the vehicles they rode were not technological.

The Miracle of Creation

An analysis of more than 70,000 galaxies demonstrates that the universe plays by the rules set out 95 years ago by Albert Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity.

The Cabala also has a theory of relativity called Yish Meayin/Something from Nothing where the light of creation begins–a revelation from the essence. Einstein was first to admit that one could not know the truth while moving within the parameters of the problem.

To know creation one must be able to step outside of creation. The Cabala key to the Zohar-Book of Secret talks about creation before creation describing the intricate moves that ultimately made our universe while science only discovers what is measurable–about four percent of the whole.

The Cabala describes creation in four parts that eventually became the four spirit worlds from which the four elements are drawn. Morkor/Source; Chomer/Meterial; Ztorar/Form and Tikun/Fixing these four levels of creation portrays how primordial matter was exuded from the source to later take form and finally be imprinted as the physical universe.

The Torah which means Teaching discusses in endless detail the transference of light into vessel which then returns as a greater light; the working of nature is an exact diagram of this process. There are rules in creation and even God abides by these rules but within the web of perfection is always woven the possibility of miracle.

Jerusalem at the Center

Israel is coming under growing international pressure following its approval of new housing for Israelis in occupied East Jerusalem.

Jerusalem goes to the very heart of the Jewish People and to all people because according to the Torah the first man and woman Adom and Chava were created between the two hills upon which the Temple was built. God chose this place because it was destined that two brothers would love one another in that place.

The Talmud-Book of Law says the greatest love is between brothers because they are equals unlike man and women, parent and child, teacher and student which operate through disparity. The Jewish and Arab people are brothers from the same father Avraham; the Palestinians are not Arab coming from Africa but are mostly Muslim which puts them into the Arab camp.

Obviously, the way to peace is through reconciliation of the Torah and the Koran–then Jerusalem will become the center of learning and devotion. The Law of the Torah does not permit the use of metal tools to cut the mammoth stones since metal is the element of weaponry while Jerusalem is a place of peace.

The cabalists make from the word Yerushalim (Jersualem) Yira Malka/Fear of the King; Yira/fear is made from the word Riah/Sight–if we look and see God we will cease fighting.

In Praise of Women

The Obama White House marked International Women's Day on Monday, a highlight of women’s History Month. President Obama and the first lady, Michelle were generally upbeat.

The Cabala traces the seminal beginning of male and female to the brain which is divided primary into two hemispheres called Chochma and Bena. Chachma/Clarity is right and male side of the brain while Bena/Builder is the left and female side of the brain.

The soul enters into the body from the right side of the brain which is only able to recognize something indistinct which is then seeded into the left side of the brain where cognition takes place. The Zohar-Book of Secret says that women have Bena Yetera/Extra Understanding, but the Cabala explains Extra as the ability to bring from the deepest depths something completely new–like a baby.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, when Avraham the father of ancient peoples was first in the world 4000 years ago he thought that God was woman because all light comes from the darkness. The darkness is greater than the light as seen in the ability of darkness to hold the light or for a woman to receive a man.

In the Torah Woman’s day is celebrated at the end of summer known as Tuba Av called in the Talmud–Book of Law the greatest of all the holidays.
