World Water Day

Clean water for a healthy world is the theme for World Water Day 2010, celebrated today. Water is a tiny molecule with some highly unusual properties different from other liquids, in fact, by some measures water shouldn't even exist.

Water is found at the very edges of the universe and is ubiquitous throughout the universe, but here on earth water exhibits a strange alteration; all other liquids freeze from within but only water freezes first on the exterior thus saving aquatic life.

In the beginning of the Torah where the creation process is described, God commands the water to seek depth–the opposite nature of water is to cover. It was this change of nature which resulted in the phenomenon of water freezing on the surface.

To God creation is made of water but to man creation is made of fire–what is light to creation is water to the Creator. There is another aspect of water whose metaphor is used in explaining the purity of spiritual knowledge which like the rain comes from a very high place yet remains unchanged once on the earth.

An ancient sign 4000 years ago was water rising to greet those of Abrahamic lineage. The Zohar-Book of Secret says the source of water is from the rock identified as the planet Mars repository of water from within.

The Pedophilia Irony

The Catholic bishops have lobbied hard to get Catholic members of Congress to oppose the current health care bill because of language it says could allow some federal funding of abortion.

This seems so ironic given the constant complaints of pedophilia brought against he Church reaching even to Pope in Rome. Why is the unborn child some much more precious than the living?

The Church even goes so far as breaking with the Torah and the ancient Rabbis who understood and wrote clearly in the very beginning of the Talmud-Book of Law that life begins at 41 days. This date is corroborated by scientists as being when the zygote transforms into embryo.

It is at 41 days that the imprint of the YHVH whose four letters arranged vertically makes the stick figure of a human being is imprinted upon the placenta. The Cabala clearly explains how the placenta is formed during the first 40 days from conception to mingle the DNA of the mother and the father then at 41 God delivers the soul–this is Jewish law!

That the Church would rather deny people health coverage than concede the smallest degree is more than ironic. The Torah teaches the middle way is the way of truth as symbolized by Teferit/Beauty the center of Ten Sefirot–the cabalistic atom from which all physical and spiritual take form.

For Peter

After more than a decade of debates, hearings and lobbying the Senate has passed a bill to change the punishment for possession of crack users 100 times more heavily than powder cocaine users.

This obvious abuse of power to incarcerate the poor instead of the rich based on the kind of cocaine they employ is more criminal than the crime they punish. During the Vietnam War those married or in college had a deferment while the poor minorities were drafted into the conflict.

The government for the rich and by the rich has been unrelenting and brutal in their perverse tactics to breed more violence while sowing unrest by returning convicts back into communities where poverty pervades. The government always finds ways to make a buck out of people’s sorrow.

Cocaine like opium are natural substances indigenous to two areas in the world, Central Asia and Northern South America; Opium is used to still pain while Cocaine soothes hunger–these regions of God given substances are two focal points of war in the world along with the Middle East which came to nourish the soul.

The Torah came to the world to bring peace through law which demands compassion and retribution. Included in the Torah are the three oral traditions of Talmud–the interpretation of the law, Midrash–the story behind the law and the Zohar–the secret hidden within the story.

Oldest Moving Life

The earliest animal tracks yet found have been unearthed in Canada where one of the greatest mysteries of history, why 500 hundred millions years ago the sudden appearance of life happened is confounding scientists.

The Hebrew calendar counts from the beginning of the human species on earth–modern humanity which according to the Torah occurred on the Sixth Day of Creation during which time life began on earth; this account differs greatly with science–but there is a way to reconcile the two.

The Torah mentions in the very beginning about the previous world called Tohu/Chaos; the Zohar-Book of Secret portrays how from the center of our solar system came a light which struck the planet Mars precipitating life within the red world. The Zohar also describes how the center of Mars is made of ice (therefore Mars has no magnetic field) surrounded by water–womb of life.

The Cabala explains how Tohu/Mars broke and fell in the form of sparks into our world seeding the earth with life which was then called forth during the six days. It says in the Torah that a thousand years is a day to God and 1000 years would probably been enough time to evolve life from the mud.

Time is tricky but the sudden advent of life is inscrutable. The earth is the center of creation because God’s Will is found here.

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.

What is Jewish

Jewish extremists have urged supermodel Bar Refaeli not to marry her actor boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, because it would dilute the Jewish race.

There is no Jewish race; the Jewish People are comprised of those born of a Jewish mother through which the soul’s obligation of performing 613 commandments is transfered–others can become Jewish through the acceptance of the 613 commandments, but there is no Jewish blood because Jewish is determined by the soul.

Jewish politics and religion are manufactured by man but being Jewish is a direct command from the Creator. The 365 day orbit of the earth around the sun corresponds to the 365 negative commandments while the 248 years Pluto rotates the sun corresponds to the 248 positive commandments between the seven outer orbs of our solar system.

The pinnacle of pray exclaims God Echud/One is explained in the Talmud-Book Law extrapolating from these three letters of Echud/One to be the seven heavens and the earth with four directions. When the Seven Commandments of Noah that obligates all peoples are added to the 613 Commandments of the Jewish People they equal 620 which is Keter/Crown.

The Cabala says man is the fire of Yud/10 and woman is the fire of Hey/5 together they make Ya–the first Name of God.

Month of Miracles

Today begins the month of Nissan. Our forefathers were redeemed from Egypt and in Nissan the future will be redeemed, according to the Talmud-Book of Law. The name of the month, Nissan, is cognate to the word, Nissim/Miracles.

The first commandment to the Jewish People is to make this month, the month of Nissan to be the first of our months even though the world calculates years from the fall–Rosh HaShana/Head of the Year. The new year of the fall provides sustenance whereas the new year of the spring brings freedom.

Freedom is a miracle as witnessed by the great difficulties surrounding being free–but, what is free? The Torah says that the teachings will make you free yet the teachings involve endless laws. How do laws make you free? The laws are boundaries and within the law you can be free and spontaneous.

Animals are not free because they are restrained by their inherent nature which never changes–the most stringent boundaries; human beings are expected to go beyond their nature and spiritual laws allow a safe place for this constant transition.

The Cabala explains how Cheresh/Free is connected to Cheresh/Engraved; when the truth of our freedom is engraved inside within then our light shins into the world. The month of Nissan in the spring is the beginning to a new cycle of freedom and freedom is a miracle.
