Few medicines have been greeted with as much exultation as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft, but now the same antidepressants have become the new villains of modern psychopharmacology and a pill-happy culture searching for quick fixes for complex mental problems.
The Cabala clearly states, The only good in depression is getting out of depression. Though there is no sin in the Torah for being depressed, yet all bad actions stem from depression – a fundamental desire not to live. In between birth and death is the will to be or not to be.
The Rabbis, 2000 years ago, who affixed the daily prayers, did not require the supplicant to know the meanings of the words other than one sentence: God’s open hand gives sustenance to all will. Will is beyond thought or reason; depression is a cancerous will eating away the soul.
Will surrounds and permeates the body effecting thoughts, moods and actions – when will is gone, life is gone. Shaul, the first appointed King of Israel, was famously depressed, leading him to actions that under minded his kingship and his eventual demise. Dovid was the next king.
Dovid had a very difficult life from beginning to end, but Dovid loved God; he always saw his sins before him and therefore saw the punishments melted out from life as the love of God bringing him closer. Moshiach, who will bring happiness to the world, is destined to come from Dovid.

THE CABALA OF EARTH DAY
More than 500 million people in 175 countries will observe Earth Day today by raising awareness for environmental issues around the world; since Earth Day was founded 42 years ago, attention has been brought to the preventable dangers of pollution and global warming.
The Zohar-Book of Secret teaches, The Earth and the six outer planets are the prototype to the seven continents that comprise our world; the Midrash-Book of Metaphor teaches, The Earth is a large person – the Cabala teaches, Being the seventh is Malchut/Royalty, also known as woman.
The Earth’s configuration supports this conclusion: the polar cap is the skull, Antarctica the feet, Europe and Asia the torso, England and Japan the hands, Africa and South America the legs, America the buttocks, the Mediterranean the sex and Australia and New Zealand the ovaries.
The Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans correspond to the Sun, Mercury and Venus where life does not yet exist. The Earth is the center of our Solar System because freedom of choice exists only on this terrestrial plane – in comparison, the other planets are considered spiritual.
What happens on the earth determines the fate of our galaxy whose center aligns with the earth on December 21 of this year concluding a 26,000 year cycle celebrated by the ending of the Mayan calendar. God’s Four Letter Name, YHVH, has a gematria of 26. Earth Day is everyday.

THE CABALA OF PORNOGRAPHY
Watching pornography would seem to be a vision-intensive task, but new research finds that looking at erotic movies can actually quiet the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli.
The Cabala explains, Sperm begins in the brain of man, travels down the spine then is cooked in the testicles before being delivered to the women; this process is initiated by the eyes that are directly connected to the soul that enters through the right side of the brain.
Once the soul is activated, the brain becomes secondary to a process that proceeds through the center of the body beginning with the third eye called Daat/Knowing – as in, Man knew woman. Knowing is beyond cognition; a person thinks to know – when knowing occurs thinking is unnecessary.
Sexuality is beyond thought, an experience that reduces man into a conduit between heaven and earth. The genetics of the soul is clothed in the apparatus of the body, particularly at the time of orgasm, through the accumulated thoughts and feelings prior to being sexual.
Seeing and thinking about other women prior to having sex has a deleterious effect on the conception of a child. Once a couple asked a wise man, How to make their newborn child righteous? The wise man answered, You are nine months to late – righteousness begins at conception.

THE CABALA OF UR
National Weed Day, reputed as a High Holiday, gives activists the opportunity to stand together and speak out about the complex issues surrounding the legalization of Marijuana.
Cannabis, known in the Torah as Cana Bosim/Good Smelling Leaf, was one of the ingredients used in the incense, called Ketoret, from the word Keter/Crown; the Ketoret was burned in the Temple before the Kokesh HaKadoshim/Holy of Holies housing the Ten Commandments.
Recently, large amounts of Ketoret have been discovered hidden in the desert from 2000 years ago; one of the miracles recounted in the Temple was, though animals were being slaughter no flies or insects were present. Recent experiments with the Ketoret have received the same results.
Getting high from marijuana is perhaps the least of the amazing qualities of this plant which first appeared during the time of Avraham who journeyed to the earth from the Tower of Babel 4000 years ago. After his wife Sara dies Avraham marries Ketoret and has with her children.
The sons of Ketoret were sent to India bearing gifts: a language without a written form, Sankrit, and a plant considered holy until this day. The root of the Indo-European languages came from a small tribe of Urians (Ayrians) – Avraham came from Mars known as Ur/Fire.

THE CABALA OF DETERRENCE
The Committee of Deterrence and the Death Penalty concluded that studies on the death penalty and its potential effect on homicide rates – both pro and con – contain fundamental flaws that essentially make them moot.
Transgressing many of the 613 Commandments detailed in the Torah are punishable by death and yet the Jewish courts during the time of the Temple, the only time capital punishment was dealt out, rarely administered the death penalty even against blatant murderers.
If more than one person was put the death in seventy years, the courts were considered murderers. The death penalty was not used as a deterrent but as a way to redeem the soul in very infrequent circumstances. The judges were expected to find a loophole to save lives.
The Cabala explains, Deliberate actions with sufficient warning able to blemish God’s Four Letter Name YHVH, could only be rectified through the death penalty, but all other offenses had lesser punishments – God, the true judge would execute the guilty at the proper time.
Though the death penalty is mentioned numerous times throughout the Torah, compassion takes precedence; the Creator of life prefers repentance over death. The US is one of the 42 countries in the world who still retains this brutal practice for deterrent and revenge.

THE CABALA OF JOURNEY
Levon Helm's family is asking for your prayers, The Band’s singer and drummer, 71, is in the final stages of his battle with cancer: Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey.
For over a decade, the iconic singer who came to fame as drummer for Dylan’s band, later known as The Band, has battled the cancer; nothing stands before death and no one wins the battle against death – but, there are the chosen few whose presence is needed in the world.
When God calls the soul abroad, it is wise to let go of the body and return to heaven from where the soul began the journey of life. Levon lived to perform his music – music that gave life to the world. In the two Temples that stood for 830 years, music accompanied sacrifice.
Music is essential to life. The musician’s journey through the seven notes is comparable to life’s journey through the seven Sefirot/Luminaries corresponding to the seven emotions, set in two triangles along three pillars, culminating in conclusion, as described in the Cabala.
There are 42 stops recorded in the Torah as the Jewish People journeyed from slavery to freedom; My teacher taught me, Everyone has at least 42 stops during life’s journey, but some have many more. Thank you Levon, for being there in the good times and the difficult times.

THE CABALA OF INFINITY
Scientists have used cosmic magnifying glasses called gravitational lenses to observe super-bright distant galaxies, giving a measure of how quickly the universe is blowing up like a giant balloon; they found, the universe’s expansion is indeed speeding up over time.
The Talmud-Book of Law adamantly insists, Creation is finite; the Cabala explains, Creation is a bubble engraved within the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd – light so compacted, there is no space and therefore no time; yet, despite these assertion, infinity continues to expand.
These seemingly, contradicting assertions can be clarified through the concept of Rutzi VaShuv/Running and Returning – a description given to the angels who first run towards the light, then finding the light too intense, retreat – the basis for alternating current.
Because the nature of creation is to return back to the Creator, there is a constant push – both physical and spiritual – to return to our source, the Hard Light; however, to the Creator there is no difference or separation between creation and Creator – to God all is one.
Infinity expands because of our longing coupled with the Creator’s insistence that creation exist. Without the constant will of God wanting creation to exist, our little bubble, we call the universe, would quickly meld back into the hard light in the stream of God consciousness.
