President Barack Obama directed U.S. regulators to gather information from drug-makers about potential shortages so the government can respond before patients’ lives are threatened and help prosecutors head off price gouging.
Ironically, the administration is going after pot growers who provide marijuana to people in pain who prefer a smoke over a drug. Though the government is obligated to oversee the country, money has skewed their vision – the lobbyists for the drug companies.
Once again, what the people want is overruled by what the government insists upon, without logic or recourse. What happened to government for the people and by the people? The Torah is far more democratic than any country because the Torah was given to each person.
Though the Rabbis make the law, the people are free to trust the Rabbis or to look into the Torah and decide on their own; in the end, God is the true judge because only God knows the intention of man. We are judged by God, not on what we do, but on what we intend to do.
America is addicted to pharmaceuticals, cigarettes, alcohol and guns; the human being is vulnerable, easily persuaded to addictive substances and easily manipulated. The government only sanctions what the government controls for the supposed good of the people.

ENOUGH THREES
Tony La Russa, the third-winningest manager in Major League history announced his retirement as a manager today, three days after winning a World Series for the third time in his 33-year career.
One is a dot, two is a line but three is a triangle – the first occasion of unity. The Hebrew word Chazaka refers to an action done three times; for example, giving charity three times is like to vow to always give charity – before three times is temporal, but three is permanent.
This bit of cabalistic knowledge is derived from the structure of creation built from triangles like the human form built from the triangle of the head, the triangle of the body and arms and the last triangle from the legs and the sex. The Star of David is two triangles.
Inherent within the human being who recognizes three days after winning his third World Series in 33 years, it is time to retire – too many threes. Perhaps there was not conscious cognition but the strength of the threes surely made an impression and contributed to his final decision.
Like any artist, writer or artisan there is a knack to knowing when the piece is done, when the last period is formed like the final hit of the hammer that fixes the vessel being forged. Most people retire never getting close to being fulfilled from their work. Congratulations, Tony

OCTOBER SNOWS
More than 3 million households in the U.S. Northeast lacked power on Sunday as a rare October snowstorm bedeviled transportation and killed at least five people.
One of the phenomenon associated with global warming is strangely erratic weather patterns producing severe storms at unusual times. Whether or not man-made pollution is the cause does not really matter because it is wrong and arrogant to pollute the planet.
Our fixation on blame may be diverting our attention from what is really happening to the earth. The more that science picks apart creation teaching the populous to regard the world as compounds and chemical the less respect we have for our mother – from where we came.
The Torah speaks in detail of how the first human being was forged from the earth, kneaded into form and enlivened with the breath of life. Each person is a small world and the world is a large person – both are reflections of the other; what is happening, happens to both.
Birth is happening to the world and eventually, within the next two centuries, a new kind of human being will begin growing from the earth having being seeded with our bones over 6000 years. Birth is intense and a little scary, but ultimately birth is a happy occasion.

WAR NO MORE
In a rare interview on Israeli television, the Palestinian President said the Arab refusal of the U.N.'s proposed 1947 partition of Palestine into two states was a mistake.
The Palestinians have been known as the people who never miss a chance to miss a chance. The ramifications of the the Palestinian reluctance to make peace has been the cause of Middle Eastern dictators coming to power ending with the eventual Arab Spring.
The hatred of these brutal dictators wooed the populous into war against the Jewish People; after losing the war it became a matter of pride – so many deaths, so much suffering, for what? War is a disease that eventually peters out, like a fire exhausting its fuel.
The will for war is leaving the world. War in Hebrew is Milchama a word made of two words: Mil/Cut off, like Brit Mila/Circumcision and Chama/Heat – in the heat of war soldiers use their weapons to cut apart their enemy. The human body is in the form the YHVH.
God has many Names but the YHVH is different in that no one knows how to pronounce this Name; the four letters when placed vertically make the form of a human stick figure – the meaning of Made in God's Image. God means for the human being to enjoy this physical world.

SHARIA LAW
After giving a speech that emphasized the Islamization of Libya, National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil said Sunday that Islamic Sharia law would be the main source of legislation.
Roman law, as practiced throughout the world is an adversary system where the judge, like a referee, makes sure the rules are followed; in Sharia Law, the judge questions the witnesses in pursuit of truth. In Roman Law, truth and justice belong to the victor.
Jewish Law, like Sharia Law, obligates the judge to seek the truth; secular justice is neither true nor just – punishment is dealt out as a deterrent against crime. Punishment melted out by Shira and Jewish Law are to help the individual to change their ways.
Most people faced with a whipping or spending years in jail would take a whipping; according to Jewish Law if a man defecates on himself because of the fear of being whipped he is automatically release because of embarrassment.
In heaven the greatest punishment is embarrassment as to how one led their life; in heaven all things are seen and all acts recorded, forever. By incarnating, the soul is able to fix the acts of previous lifetimes and perform commandments that previously went undone.

WATER WATER EVERYWHERE
Recent discoveries of the first direct evidence of comets bringing water to alien planets is now one step further – the planetary disk around the star TW Hydrae has enough water in it to support thousands of oceans.
Water is made of hydrogen, which is plenty throughout the universe, and oxygen, a rarer atom, that combines with two hydrogen atoms to make water – the building block of life. The Cabala explains, growth is inspired by water that comes from the heavens to the earth.
In Hebrew the word for heaven is Shamiam, which breaks down into two words: Saaw Miyam/Holds Water; Shamiam can also mean Aish/Fire and Miyam/Water. The original division between light and darkness are manifested in the opposites of fire and ice throughout creation.
At the end of the three weeks of holidays celebrating the New Year is the day of Shimini Atzerit/ Eighth Gathering when a drop of celestial semen is emitted from the heavens, melted from the heat of our prayers. It is that drop that conceives the coming year.
Water, the miracle of life that makes everything grow, is a metaphor for the Torah; both Torah and water come from a very high place and when drawn down to a low place remain with their precise pure nature – as above so below. God commanded the water to draw to the Earth.

A THOUSAND FOR ONE
Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier who was seized in 2006 by Hamas, has been freed in a deal that involves the release of 1,027 Palestinians.
There are laws in the Torah regarding kidnaping and how to ransom back without encouraging further acts of terror, but it is Suchot – a time of happiness. The Cabala explains, There are two types of happiness: bounded happiness and happiness without boundaries.
The happiness during the seven day holiday of Suchot is without boundaries, as is said: Simcha Peretz Geder/Happiness Breaks All Boundaries. The Law is the law, but happiness is beyond the law. An interesting cabalistic side-note, Aleph means both 1000 and One.
Aleph is the first letter of the 22 letter Hebrew alphabet but also has the meaning of Thousand and a gematria of One. Aleph also means a teacher in Aramaic and Leader in Hebrew. Perhaps, God willing, this represents a new direction between two ancient peoples.
Gilad Shalit is the first Israeli soldier returned home after being captured in 26 years; 26 is the gematria of the Four Letter Name of God, YHVH – during Suchot a light, beyond Name, is brought into the Sucha through the crudely thatched roof. The most hidden is revealed.
