THE CABALA OF SANDY

Concerning the configuration of the Earth as a large embryonic person with seven limbs: head, arms, legs, torso and sex merged in the sea – North America is the head of the world. Europe and China are the two arms, England and Japan the two hands, Africa and South America the two legs, The Middle East the feminine sex, Australia and New Zealand the ovaries, Antarctica the feet – leaving North America to be the head and the Mississippi River dividing the country are the lips.

These seven continents conform to the seven lower Sefirot/Luminaries comprising the two arms and legs, torso and sex – the seventh is found in the month – Malchut/Royalty characterized as speech emanating from the mouth. America, being an amalgamation of all peoples throughout the Earth, is similar to the mouth that receives from six emotions patterned after the two lower triangles of the human form.

Royalty results from the coalescing of disparate forces into a pinnacle of power that can articulate the will of the people to the world. Similarly, the mouth – America, melds together the entirety of the body to speak a word of articulated communication. America is divided, not just through the middle by a river, but America is divided politically because America is divided culturally – the separation between government and religion.

THE CABALA OF COLON

Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell on Thursday endorsed Barack Obama’s bid for re-election, citing the Democratic president’s efforts to wind down the war in Afghanistan and tackle terrorism.

When he was part of the Bush-Dick-Conti-Colin foursome, a position that Sidney Poitier called: House-Nigger, Colin Powell had to take their shit, but now that he is a free man, this man of war, is siding with peace. War makes money for the economy at the expense of the soul.

Excrement is the final product of human endeavor because physicality degrades back to the earth in a fashion mirrored by the human body through the orifice of the colon – the last part of the digestive system before waste and gas is eliminated from the body.

Politics is often referred to as the clean side of a piece of shit; according to the Torah/Teaching excrement becomes Tohar/Clean when it is reduced to dirt through the process of physical degradation. Even a person who still smells from the war of deceit can be humbled.

War requires ego – the source of all bad. The Cabala in explaining the construct of creation teaches, All existence has an ego, without ego we cannot be, but with too much ego we destroy who we are – too much silver on the pane of glass turns the mirror dark. Obama represents the middle.

THE CABALA OF GIANT

The favored Detroit Tigers are rested, their starting rotation is perfectly aligned, their lineup is filled with power, but the San Francisco Giants’ second World Series title in three seasons is on the line.

During the first 2000 years of human history, according to the Torah, the Anachim/Giants came from the heavens and once entering into our atmosphere took on physical shape, allowing them to inculcate into the population. Avraham was considered the last of the Anachim 4000 years ago.

These giants were not big in statue, but in character and ability they were mammoth; most of the giants were cruel and disrespectful to the rights of the indigenous population on the Earth – the giants lorded over the earth, instituting the custom of first rights to a married woman.

Later there were giants in Torah/Teaching and Avoda/Service, but now in our time there are giants in baseball. There are many cabalistic aspects to baseball like the the diamond and the number ten; the configuration of the ballpark is reminiscent to the form of the Ten Sefirot.

The biggest part of being a giant in believing in yourself as being a giant. The original Anachim/Giants were in comparison to natural human beings but now, as a result, all human beings are imbued with the capacity to be a giant. The true giant, is a giant in their soul.

A Yom Kippur Message

The holiday of Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement is a day of purity as expressed by the gematria 364 in the word HaSatan/The Opposition – meaning, there is one day in the 365 day year free from opposition, Yom Kippur. The climatic event that occurs every year on Yom Kippur is when the Cohen Godal/High Officiator enters into the Kodesh HaKadoshim/Holy of Holies – a place beyond time and space.

In the Talmud-Book of Law is discussed the dimensions of this small room pinnacle of the Temple, the Kodesh HaKadoshim, atop a stone stairway, covered by a white curtain called the Porrochat; within the room stood the cube that housed the Ten Commandments. Though the room was ten cubics wide and though the cube was two cubits wide – when measuring from wall to cube was five cubits because the Ten Commandments are beyond time and space, a marriage gift to the Jewish People from the Creator of Heaven and Earth.

When the Cohen Godal entered the Kodesh HaKadoshim bringing incense, his corporeal being quickly was divested of his physical body, thereby, enabling the Cohen Godal to connect more directly with the Creator. Though the Cohen Godal was kept up all night, it was considered a miracle he did not experience a Mikra Lila/Wet Dream from the excitement and anticipation of melding with the Creator.

In the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year; a time to dress in the white Kitel, the garment set aside for burial, to fast and pray before the Master of All for 26 hours, the gematria of God’s Four Letter Name YHVH whose letters when arranged vertically forms the stick figure of a human being – the meaning of, Made in God’s Image.

May all human beings made in God’s image be blessed.

The Cabala of The End

Three hundred years ago, The Bal Shem Tov was born on this day; the next generation the Alter Rebbe was also born on the same date – these two luminaries are the source to the material in these daily blog posting that have continued for three years, but will end with today’s post.

Chai Ellul, the term given to the 18th day of month of Besola/Virgin, written in Hebrew letters composes the word Chai/Life. The month of Ellul, an accrostic for Ani Ladodi VDodi Li/I Am to My Beloved as She Is to Me, is the month preceding the New Year on the first of Tishre; during this month we repent for the past and prepare for the future.

At the juncture of Chai Ellul, there are 12 days left in the month – each day corresponding to one of the twelve month as we count down to Rosh HaShana/Head of Year. This year 5772 has the added importance because 72 is the highest number associated with the YHVH and is also the gematria of Chesed/Kindness – light of celestial kindness on the Earth.

Kindness in essence is related to giving; giving kindness is sweeter than receiving kindness. I am honored to have been followed and read, but it time to go within and go deeper. I hope to reconnect in the future. Peace out.

THE CABALA OF ORGANIC FOOD

There’s no solid evidence that organic foods are healthier than those produced conventionally; according to a review of several studies, despite the widespread perception that organically produced foods are more nutritious than conventional alternatives.

The benefits to organic food are beyond health and nutrition. People who grow organic food treat the Earth with respect – no chemicals and no toxic fertilizer running into the rivers; people who grow organic food are in harmony with nature while conventional farming rapes the Earth of her produce.

The gender of the Earth is female; and she gladly gives of her produce in great abundance – but, if cajoled by drugs and plowed relentlessly, she will give even more than her yield. The organic farmer blesses the land, respects the natural process and accepts what is offered by the Earth.

The Torah/Teaching is full of references to the land and promises of plentitude; if the people obey the heavenly law then rain and dew will be abundant – and if the people pray to God, then God will answer through the fecund earth. Treat the Earth well and she will treat you well.

The Cabala considers the Earth as the physical manifestation of Shakina/Dwelling, the female representation of the presence of God who hovers upon the Earth. The Talmud-Book of Law warns agains kicking the Shakina least unleashing the fury of HaKodesh Boracho/The Hidden He.

THE CABALA OF LABOR DAY

Millions of Americans will celebrate Labor Day; according to the United States Department of Labor, the day represents: a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well being of our country.

Avadoh/Work in Hebrew also refers to the spiritual obligations the souls performs – this is the true work whose produce exist in the spiritual world; after a lifetime, the soul releases from the body and enters into the spirit realm where the ramifications of action adorn the abode.

The human being has a need to work and feel productive for the self and for the community; without work life has little purpose – the Torah teaches, If one does not work one can not rest. Though creation to the Creator is a little thing, nonetheless God worked to make creation, then God rested.

Work in modern time, is what use to be called slavery in the ancient day when everyone was free except those who had to sell themselves into servitude to a master because of their situation. Now, nearly everyone is in a situation serving a master who is the slave to a boss, who is slave to a boss.

The subjugation of self towards a meaningful goal is what hollows out the human being to be a vessel for the Creator. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, God made a work for each person to love. The Cabala explains, From the constancy of work comes the power of Eumuna/Faith; an Eumun is a Craftsman.

THE CABALA OF WAR CRIMES

Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu called Sunday for Tony Blair and George Bush to face prosecution at the International Criminal Court for their role in the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Perhaps, the most disturbing part of the Bush legacy is his sudden disappearance from the political arena – he started the war, which he promised to be a 100-year war, then he quit. Bush needs to come clean about the Iraqi War and the 9/11 incident, genesis of the destabilization of the Middle East.

The last of the Seven Commandments given to Noah, to be promulgated throughout the world, is to have courts of law administering justice – even the mighty and the hoarders of wealth are not exempt. If political and religious leaders are held responsible for their actions, peace will surely ensue.

These leaders of the Free World who led multiple countries on an errant mission, based on questionable facts needs to be accountable – the world will not forget; Bush may have retired from public life, but his legacy of death and mass destruction will not soon fade from the earth’s collective consciousness.

There is enough accumulated evidence to prosecute the case, but will America obstruct world justice to save one of their own – is it Justice or Just Us? The Cabala describes life as a purification process by which the arrogance of ego is destroyed, leaving a redeemed populous in a peaceful world.

THE CABALA OF STONE AGE

Two Stone Age statuettes, one depicting a ram and the other a wild bovine, have emerged from the highway connecting Jerusalem with Tel Aviv; the 5.9-inch-long figurines are estimated to date between 9,000 and 9,500 years ago made of limestone and features intricately carved horns.

Who are these Stone Age people from whom the modern human being derives? According to the Torah/Teaching the first human being fashioned by the Creator was made out of clay, measured and kneaded into form and then animated with the breath of life. Only afterwards was First Man brought into the Garden.

The Garden of Eden is a spiritual place and the story about how woman was separated from man and how the serpent enticed the woman happened to the soul made out of fire. After 130 years the human soul descended to the earth and began having terrestrial children as is written in the Torah.

What happened during those 130 years to the physical human left on the earth is what scientists call Stone Age – the people made of stone. The time differential can be accounted for by introducing cabalistic knowledge that contends, the Six Days of Creation are the pattern of the last 6,000 years.

On the first day of creation the sun was made, indicating the attribute of Chesed/Kindness. Peoples lived thousand years; carbon-14, the vehicle from where time dating occurs, happened at a faster pace than now. Scientific evidence coupled with Torah wisdom produces a true portrait of reality.

THE CABALA OF BLUE MOON

A rare blue moon occurs tonight; a blue moon is the second full moon in a month – the previous full moon happened on Aug. 1, an event that happens about once every 2.7 years

All ancient peoples calculated time according to the phases of the moon every 28 days; later the progression of the sun was measured by imploring the minute movements of a shadow cast by a stationary object – but, the moon is everywhere to everyone – a simple calendar between God and the human being.

Besides the monthly and yearly cycles there are also the 19 year cycle of the moon and the 21 year cycle of the sun reflecting the discrepancy between these two celestial bodies requiring a leap year. The Hebrew calendar adds a month every few years making for a 13 month year, like the Mayan calendar.

The 365 day year divided by 13 is 364 leaving a day from where the calendar migrates eventually causes holidays to occur throughout the year, like Ramadan. The Cabala describes the moon as having an inner light ignited by the emanations from the sun – the sun is male while the moon is female.

The blue moon is an optical illusion brought on by the imperfection of the calendar causing the full moon to occur twice in a month; the blue moon only exists in the figment of man’s imagination – also, the moon is not blue, as the Beatles once noted, Because the sky is blue it makes me sad.
