Manuscrip(the Dead Sea Scrolls)

Fragment 1

(9) [... 1 saw Watchers]

(10) in my vision, the dream-vision. Two (men) were fighting over me, saying ...

(11) and holding a great contest over me. I asked them, ‘Who are you, that you are thus empo[wered over me?’ They answered me, ‘We]

(12) [have been em]powered and rule over all mankind.’ They said to me, ‘Which of us do yo[u choose to rule (you)?’ I raised my eyes and looked.]

(13) [One] of them was terr[i]fying in his appearance, [like a serpent, [his] cl[oa]k many-colored yet very dark...

(14) [And I looked again], and ... in his appearance, his visage like a viper, and [wearing ...]

15) [exceedingly, and all his eyes ...]

Fragment 2

(1) [... em]powered over you ...

(2) [I replied to him,] ‘This [Watcher,] who is he?’ He answered me, ‘This Wa[tcher ...]

(3) [and his three names are Belial and Prince of Darkness] and King of Evil.’ I said, ‘My lord, what dom[inion ...?’]

(4) [’and his every way is darkened, his every work da[rk]ened. In Darkness he ...

(5) [Yo]u saw, and he is empowered over all Darkness, while I [am empowered over all light.]

(6) [... from] the highest regions to the lowest I rule over all Light, and over al[1 that is of God. I rule over (every) man]

Fragment 3

(1) [of His grace and peace. Over all the sons of Lig]ht have] I been empowered.’ I asked him, [What are your names ... ?’]

(2) He [s]aid to me, ‘[My] three names are [Michael and Prince of Light and King of Righteousness.’]

the fragment from the dead sea scrolls above explain the two dragons, of the night and the day and includes their names and powers. Astrologers will understand them as Tzedeq/Jupiter - "King of righteousness and Shabbatai/Saturn-"King of "Evil"".

The above and left page of text from an aboriginal American creation story sees the original "powers" of creation as different "whirlwind moving crosses" and the Black whirlwind is the one who rules all that is "dark" and deep as the Black water Dragon is the deep feminine waters of birthing. We are now with Rosh Chodesh Shevat and next month Adar/the Jewish new months of Shevat and Adar entering the Asian year of the Black Water Dragon. There are five kinds of dragons in the Asian calendar system and they do have a direct correspondence with the five kinds of root souls in the Hebrew wisdom tradition. The black water Dragon of this developing cycle is about the Nephesh water soul. This does correspond to the "dragon of the haYom/Sea in Hebrew and gnostic wisdom texts. This is a very auspicious time. In the Torah parsha of this week we now have Aaron who brings the first three kinds of plagues to the oppressors, and each involve the water element. Aaron begins the Hebrew priesthood which carries the Nephesh root/water soul. His brother Moshe/Moses carries the Neshamah wood/root soul and their sister Miriam carries the Chayah/Earth root soul. In the asian wisdom these three root souls correspond to the Black Dragon, Wood Dragon and Earth dragon(Nephesh/Neshamah/Chayah). The wisdom traditions and the prayerforms of the great religions have taken active parts in making these elemental powers conscious and awakened.

In the Mayan/aztec calendar teachings the Black Dragon does correspond to the deity called Tezcatlipoca/power of the Night. In a feminine form she appeared in Ancient America as the Black Earth Mother and became the Our lady of Guadalupe to many American Christians of old Mexico. It a related form of this one who the ancient American elders have said would be revealed to the world in our times as we move out of a purification period between an old cycle and the new dawn of a new world where truth is more easily available. The great Chicano scholar Tony Shearer in his books told us that when the mask of tezcatlipoca was removed the world would be surprised at who he really is. Tony Shearer had a deep understanding of the wisdom lineages and the awesome nature of our times.

the fifth night/ 25th day/25th word/25th transit

2011-12-21T12:40:00.000-08:00

the 25th word of the Sepher Torah is ohr/light. the festival of light/Chanukah is celebrated beginning on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev. The fifth night of Chanukah is the only night/day that will not fall on the Sabbath giving it a special significance. This year however it falls on Christmas eve and the 25th day of December. On the fifth night of the festival we have lighted a total of fifteen candles(minus the shameshim) which number fifteen is the gematria of a name of haShem/Yah - Yod-heh. 25 is also the number of small boxes in the planetary kamea of meadim/Mars, the 5 X 5 grid. As previously stated in this blog, this coming June we will experience the 25th transit of Venus across the face of the Sun since the second temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 ce and the solar prayer form of Christianity began. The central box in the 49 box grid of the planetary grid of Nogah/Venus is the number 25. Another name for Venus is Esther who is a Jewish heroine as well as the word implying hiddeness. The verse of Torah - the 5772nd(as posted about previously) corresponds to this Hebrew year 5772 and this verse contains the word Esther in Hebrew.
The guy that comes down the chimney to place gifts under the Tree in christian homes wears the red suit of meadim/Mars and is a jovial "keeper" of gifts/wealth like Tzedeq/Jupiter and has the white hair of time as Shabbatai/Saturn. He is an ancient pagan Chief of the sacred Sarim, the planetary chiefs that cause the earth to turn(pole). Santa is actually pretty Jewish as he works hard to increase joy for the celebration.
What is special about the fifth night/day of Channukah is also that it is a prayer concerning the Fifth heaven. The work of the mekubalim as stated in Sepher Yetzira is to bring the micono/seat of haShem "down". The fifth night is a specific prayer to bring the micono/seat of haShem in the seventh heaven of Shabbatai/Saturn (as aggadah places it) and bring it to the sphere/heaven of meadim/Mars which directly encircles our Holy Earth. The eight lights refer then kabbalistically to the eight heavens surrounding our Earth in the ancient geocentric world view. We may therefore pray that the peace, prosperity and wisdom of the Sarim makes the vision of enduring freedom a reality.

tortugeuro Mayan monument and the Sabbath Nine Square

2011-11-09T05:35:00.000-08:00

The famous Mayan monument called Tortugeuro has an obscure vision concerning a deilty related to the number nine and "jaguar foot tree". we may see the correlation with the Hebrew kamea/ number square of Shabbatai/Saturn and the beginning of the great epoch of Peace called Sabbath.

Comments on the 2012 text on Tortuguero Monument 6 and Bolon Yokte K'u

John Major Jenkins. May 2006
http://Alignment2012.com

"Bolon Yokte' K'uh - (nine gods)

Gillespie and Joyce[8] and also Houston and Stuart[9] have concurred that the inscription on Monument 6 concerns the god(s) Bolon Yokte’ K’uh - specifically “…a calendrical event in the early 21st century AD, at which time, apparently, the god may 'descend'.” Stuart has recently given a more complete translation: “"The Thirteenth Bak'tun" will be finished (on) Four Ahaw, the Third of K'ank'in. ? will occur. (It will be) the descent(?) of the Nine Support (?) God(s) to the ?."[10] Gronemeyer gives an epigraphic analysis and calendrical reconstruction of Monument 6 in his Master’s thesis,[11] with illustrations. "This deity is associated with NINE supports as in the number grid of Shabbatai.

"And from David Stuart's recent decipherment of Tortuguero Monument 6 for the UT Mesoamerican Google group:
As promised here's a quick translation of the final passage* of
Tortuguero Monument 6, recording the 2012 Bak'tun ending:
Tzuhtz-(a)j-oom u(y)-uxlajuun pik
(ta) Chan Ajaw ux(-te') Uniiw.
Uht-oom ?
Y-em(al)?? Bolon Yookte' K'uh ta ?.
"The Thirteenth 'Bak'tun" will be finished
(on) Four Ajaw, the Third of Uniiw (K'ank'in).
? will occur.
(It will be) the descent(??) of the Nine Support? God(s) to the ?."
This is it. The term following uht-oom is the main puzzle, and largely
effaced. The "descent" reference is highly tentative, too. The
enigmatic deity Bolon Yookte' K'uh has been known for some time
from many sources, and I suspect that he (or they) has some tangential
relationship to the Principal Bird Deity, as well as war associations.
Interestingly, he is a protagonist in the deep time mythology of
Palenque, as recorded on Palenque's Temple XIV tablet. A
long-lasting character who's still around somewhere waiting, I suppose.
*See the illustration at the top of page for full hieroglyphic text of Monument 6.
One thing about Bolon Yokte's presence in the 2012 text should be emphasized. Apart from symbolizing war, conflict, and the underworld, Bolon Yokte is a god that is often present during Creation events, often referring to the Creation event of 13.0.0.0.0 in 3114 BC, and most notably on the Vase of the Seven Lords. So, what does it mean that a Creation Lord is present on the next 13.0.0.0.0, the one that falls in 2012 AD? Although some scholars have commented that the incomplete text on Tortuguero Monument 6 doesn't tell us much, they have overlooked the obvious: Bolon Yokte's mere presence suggests that 2012 was thought of as a Creation, a worldrenewal that, after all, makes perfect sense in the context of a World Age doctrine that sequences forward in intervals of 13 baktuns. This may seem to go without saying, but in fact my work has been criticized for characterizing 2012 as a "cosmogenesis." Here the scholars are one step closer to understanding 2012 for what the Maya knew it to a be: a rebirth and the beginning of a new World Age

Baruch HaShem!

Jewish year 5772 and Tibetan year of Water Dragon

2011-10-23T07:12:00.000-07:00

Synchronistic calendar harmonies are showing us the unfolding flower of a new world. The Tibetan calendar pictured here shows the Three Sarim, forms of the great Hebrew angel celestials that cause and govern the movements of the Earth globe. Imbedded in this calendar is the means for what jews call tikkun Olam(as a noun/event)the realigning of the world in more intimate connection to haShem/Source of all. This calendar is actually like the traditional Tree of life of the mekubalim/kabbalists set on three columns and intricately interconnected. To the top left we see the image of Manjushri, the bodhisattva(angel) of wisdom/Chochmah and the planetary chief of Tzedeq/Jupiter. To the right is Rudra, the chief of the desire realm/Geburah and the planetary chief Meadim/Mars known as Vajrapani in sanskrit. In the center is Tara,the female consort of Avilokeshvara/Understanding, the planetary chief of Shabbatai/saturn(Binah as the upper mother who governs the entire wheel of time. The shift that has been prepared for for millenia is that the chief of meadim/Mars has moved to the top of the center column. This prophecy has been predicted by the ancient Tibetan teachings about the appearance of the holy city of peace called Shambhalla.
In the center of this calendar is the Kamea/Kabbalistic box of Shabbati/Saturn which is the key that connects it all together in the Omak/depth of Binah, the upper mother. The three Sarim include the mysterious one called in tibet Vajrapani, Bodhisattva of magic and power who the Jews call Eliyahu/Elijah and the Moslems call Khidr/green man.
The Tikkun is accomplished celestially and the we can see the changes happening all over the globe. The three columns to coincide with the three realms of the Book yetzira, Time(Tara); Soul(manjushri)and world/Space(Vajrapani). These are also called Karma/Saturn; Dharma/Soul/Chesed-Jupiter and Kama/Desire-Mars. The angels of Kama have all been gathered in so to speak in the language of Zohar(72 solar guardians) and individuals are now newly empowered in their lives.
We are now approaching the Rosh Chodesh of the month of the Holy Temple, Chesvan and the consecration of matter/space-Olam which is the column on this calendar above to the right that has shifted to the center. These are exciting days- baruch HaShem!

Aveenu (Malkenu): Hebrew and Tewa for Source

2011-10-07T12:27:00.001-07:00

"Avanyu (Tewa meaning “water serpent”) is commonly depicted on San Ildefonso and Santa Clara Pueblo pottery. The IPCC logo designed by Stella Teller of Isleta Pueblo for the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, and trademarked (or copywrighted). The Avanyu symbolizes the importance of water to indigenous desert cultures. This symbol is also associated with lightning as shown by the serpent’s tongue. The upper semicircular portion of the logo represents eagle feathers. The smaller enclosed and crosshatched semicircle is also a rain symbol. The crosshatching represents rain and the upward directed semicircle is a traditional cloud symbol."

the native American elders new global migrations were completing when the predicted priestly peoples from over the two oceans arrived here on turtle island. the migrating Tibetans and the Hopi pueblo people found that their words for sun and moon had sounds in common. their lands also are exactly opposite on the globe. the same can be understood with the Hebrew priestly people and the Tewa speaking pueblos of the Rio Grande valley. the source of water and therefore life herself is called Avanyu - plumed water serpent for the Tewa Pueblos and this time of year the Jews all over the globe address the Source of water and all blessing, in the Hebrew as Aveenu - our parent. the completing of these prophesied global priestly migrations marks the dawning of a new epoch for the various Native and Meso- American cultures as well as Jewish, Tibetan and many other wisdom streams around the globe. This new "world" involves what the native elders call the discovery of "Sipapu" in Pueblo language, a new birth canal that has opened. This change of epochs or "worlds" or "suns"(in the mayan) means that a certain sacred substance that was part of the miskhan/sanctuary of the ancient Hebrew peoples has been rediscovered. The pueblo peoples of America have known for centuries that peoples from across the globe would carry a special substance with them that would mark the completeness of a global wisdom work and a new relationship of humanity to the central Source of blessing.

Grandmother Spider, the Planet Venus and the Dawn of Peace

2011-07-31T08:26:00.000-07:00

The ancient astronomers found associations between the visible planetary spheres and number grids called Kameas or magic squares.These mathematical "novelties" help students of the old geocentric based wisdom streams understand cycles and changes in humanity and the epochs of civilizations. The planetary grids themselves weave together patterns that connect math and astronomy with the knowledge of ancient wisdom lineages. Their associated legends, sacred scriptures and prophecies are thus better understood and connected. Our times are witnessing an obvious synchronistic pulse of change since we are coming to an end of the eight year window between the rare astronomical phenomena called the transit of the planet Venus when the planet is seen to move across the face of the sun as a black disk. In several months from now during the Tibetan year of the water dragon, the Hebrew year 5772, and Gregorian June,2012 we will witness this rare transit of Venus. The kamea/magic square corresponding to the planet Venus(see picture 7X7 grid) gives us the significance of this transit since it is the 25th time it will occur since the second Jewish temple was destroyed(70ce) and the Christian era began. What is known as the central palace or innermost box of the Venus grid is the number Twenty five as can be seen. This number is significant both because it is in the center of the whole grid as well as being associated with the other "morning star", Mars, who is one of the Grandsons of Spiderwoman in her legends of Native America, and is revered as the peacemaker morning star by ancient American wisdom traditions(Skidi Pawnee). The planet Venus is associated with the ancient American legends of the Spiderwoman who weaves our living world in the physical in part due to her regular visible cycles and the fact that over an eight year period she makes a pentagram(golden mean) design associated with her conjunctions with the sun, in the sky. The synchronistic significance is that we are now entering the dawn of a new epoch of civilization that many ancient traditions knew about and recorded. This is an epoch of balance and beauty(Mars and Venus). Another significance of the number twenty five is that the kamea of Mars is a box of twenty five numbers as can be seen from the picture(grid of 5X5), the central box of this Mars grid is the number thirteen which in the Hebrew wisdom is associated with the words echad/unity and ahavah/love.

Below is the table of the transits of Venus across the face of the sun for the last two thousand years. the twenty fourth one occurred in June 2004 and the next one completing the eight year window will occur next June.It will not happen again for over a hundred years.

verse 5772 of torah the Hebrew year of Water Dragon

2011-07-18T07:33:00.000-07:00

As mentioned often in this blog the understanding of worldview by means of dimensionality and centrality in the universe is a key to understanding and living the wisdom of the ancient sages of our world's religions. The three kinds of movements of our holy globe Earth are connected to spanning out the five continuums(dimensions) and their vertices, called the omakim/depths in the ancient hebrew. These Ten "depths" are also a key teaching in Buddhism as the ten spans of the universe of manifestation. The first 52 words of Torah explain all that goes on to make "Yom Echad" day unified/One, and the continued manifestation of the world. The "first" continuum is heaven and earth and this is connected to the movement called precession which is the slow wobble of the globe. This is called the axis or dragon/Teli in the teachings of the mekubalim/kabbalists. The orbital/revolutionary movement of the globe about the sun is connected to the continuum of time called the shana/year by the mekubalim and the omakim/depths Tohu and Bohu in the first paragraph of Torah. The rotational movement of the globe is connected to the realm called lev/heart(soul) and related to the three continuums of space; up/down,front/back,left/right and in Torah light and dark, day and night, evening and morning. These are so interconnected a mekubal may discover a different relationship with all this then the hinted at one stated here. this is not a dogma but an investigation which for a person whose life walk is the wisdom/Beauty way is part of initiation.
The mekubalim understood the walk of life as the aboriginal elders all around the world, as a cyclical dance rather then a linear construct as many people in the popular four continuum without a center worldview. This is why the hebrew sages made it part of the yearly cycle to read the Torah as a way of making sacred in our own lives this great circle. As an ongoing part of this blog for several years now we look at the Torah verse that corresponds by number with the hebrew calendar year. This is less meant as a prediction for the future year beginning in the fall but more to be understood as a tool to accessing the center of the wheel of life which is why we sing the five books in the yearly cycle. The 5772nd verse of torah could actually be the first verse since it begins with the word vayomer which means that the Source speaks or will speak, which itself is considered an ongoing act of creation and sustenance. The first three words are "Vayomer asterah panai" which could have several aspects of meaning as all Torah does. " Devarim/Deutoronomy chapter 32:20; "And he will say "I shall hide my face" is a usual translation although we may hear it saying that the in the scintillation of the creative vibration of the universe the Source is hidden so individuals may live and grow and act freely. The rest of the verse speaks of the acharitam/the "end of days" and the specific generation that will rediscover their true inner living faith/amen. It is an amazing verse and we may hear it unfolding even now in the circular dance of the Earth paradigm described above. The value of 72 - the "upcoming" hebrew year is the gematria(number value) for the word Chesed=lovingkindness. The tibetan/Asian year called water dragon begins during this year 5772 and this is a synchronicity with the "revealing of the Source" as connected to the Teli/axis or dragon in the books of the mekubalim. The now very popular Pueblo/Hopi and Mayan prophecies also connect to this unfolding. These are the upper waters of love that characterize the new "flood" that the sages said would cover the earth in our times.

the Sarim/three "Brother Arrows" of the mekubalim/kabbalists

2011-06-12T07:25:00.000-07:00

Pope Urban VIII , on August 11 1628, prohibited representations of the Trinity as three heads fused into one neck. all such representations were ordered destroyed or burned. Consequently, such portrayals are rarely seen in churches today.
these three called by the plains indian elders the "brother arrows" were known as Spider and her twin grandsons in the pueblo cultures of the southwest. these also associated with the planetary chiefs Shabbatai/saturn,Tzedeq/jupiter and Meadim/mars, are considered responsible for how the earth globe turns and moves. the Santero carvers of the southwest who learned from the mekubalim/kabbalists of Spain used the reference in the book of Bereishit/Genesis about these three visiting Abraham and Sarah to support their right to depict them in a way that the roman church was very upset about. As the global soul awakening unfolds the importance of these dudes is becoming known.

the Ten Omakim/Depths and the shaking Earth

2011-03-14T19:26:00.000-07:00

Ten depths(in five continuums) that define the creation,from the first words of the Torah:

Heavens:Earth shamayim/HaAretz
Tohu:Bohu metal/crystal
Light:Darkness Ohr/Choseyhk
Day:Night Yom/laylah
Evening:Morning Erev/boker

Three mysterious strangers who visit Abraham and who embody the
three movements of the earth that "form" the ten depths of infinities:
Rotation:lev/heart
Revolution:Gilgul/womb(wheel of time)
Precession:Teli:Dragon/space(matter) (from the books yetzirah and bahir)

We are moving into a new world with a new relationship between the Source and center of all that is and Humanity on Earth. And so the Earth is shaking on her axis and toppling tyranny. We pray for the healing of all peoples who are hurting. Amen
the elemental chiefs, those who visited our Father and Mother Abraham and Sarah are shaking it up a bit as we all adjust to who we really are.
In the book about the repair of the laylah/night called the Tikkun Lail we have the first three and last three verses of all the writings of Tanach/Torah:prophets:ketubim
In the image above is a scan of an ancient text of Tikkun lail with included the fourth to last of the sacred verses of Shir HaShirim/Song of Songs, called the holy of Holies by Reb Akiva.
"And Solomon had a Vine- Baal hamon. the mystery of the Canaanite chief of storm in the Holy of Holies of this Shir ; hamon in gematria=751
the "world' as we knew already ended in 5751 folks. The storm chiefs are calling out to open our hearts. Jacob's trial in Bereishis/Genesis was 2X7 years for humanity becoming sovereigns and priests, a holy people in the making.
Now our trial is 3X7=21 years(5751 + 21 = 5772) for a humanity coming of age as personal sovereigns, priests and judges.

The above quote is from the primer of Kabbalah, the Sepher Yetzira which explains the true work, the Tikkun Olam, repairing the world in the wisdom stream of the hebrew tradition.

From this sepher we have the defining three "realms" often mentioned in this blog and how they are the secret three movements of the Earth - rotation, revolution and precession. These turnings are directly related to the work of "Seating the Creator in Her place" and repairing the world.

Within the ancient Hindu text of the shiva Purana is also "hidden" this work and not well known about or understood in exoteric Asian tradition. since the 'pivot" of the work also involves the "dragon" called the five headed Shesha Ananti and the asian Year of the Dragon coming soon and coinciding with the Hebrew year 5772 I am including a wikipedia citation on how the tripura cities are destoyed which is the Hindu myth that holds this deep wisdom.

From wikipedia on the Three cities of Hinduism:

"Tripura (Tamil: Tiripuram, Thai: Triburam) meaning three cities, was constructed by the great Sura architect Mayasura. They were great cities of prosperity, power and dominance over the world, but due to their impious nature, Maya's cities were destroyed by god Tripurantaka, an aspect of Shiva. The three cities were made of iron, silver and gold and were located on earth, in the sky and in heaven, respectively.

History of Tripura
Penances of the sons of Taraka
Following the death of Tarakasura, who was killed by Kartikeya, his sons Tarakaksha, Vidyunmali and Kamalaksha undertook severe penances by which they pleased Lord Brahma. They requested that they be blessed with impregnable fortresses, which would be everlasting. However, as Brahma told them that nothing could be everlasting, they requested that the destruction of the cities could be brought about by a single arrow only, on the hope that it was impossible for anyone to shoot such an arrow, save Lord Shiva, of whom they were great devotees. Brahma then blessed them that such fortresses would be constructed by the architect Maya.
The construction of the three cities
The three cities which comprised Tripura were distributed thus:
The lowest, with walls of Iron, located on earth,
The second, with walls of silver, located in the sky, and
The third, with walls of gold, located in heaven.
The three cities were mobile and moved in such a way that they would never be in a single line, save for a few moments in around a thousand years, when the nakshatra Pushya would be in conjunction with the moon. They were thus reassured that they were quite safe, as it would be an extremely difficult task to destroy the three cities, which aligned only momentarily, by a single arrow!
Asuras from everywhere began to flock to Tripura to live. The cities were extremely luxurious and prosperous.
Forebodings of the fall of Tripura
After several years of joy, the inherent evil tendencies of the Asuras surfaced once again and they began to oppress the good and torment the noble. In the meantime, Mayasura was engaged in the worship of Shiva. The rest of the demons attacked sages and the Devas and shattered the peace of the worlds. Finally, when Indra and the rest of the Devas despondently approached Lord Brahma for respite, Lord Brahma redirected them to Shiva and also informed them of the vulnerability of Tripura to a single arrow. Lord Shiva promised to help them and the Devas returned to combat the Asuras in a mighty war. They were also assisted by Nandi, the leader of Lord Shiva's Ganas. Even though Vidyunmali was slain by Nandi, and several other Asuras were killed in the war, they were revived by water in the pool of Tripura, which had magical powers.
Vishnu descends to help
As the furious war continued between the Asuras and the Devas, even the Earth began to slip from its place. Just as Brahma and Shiva were worrying about the Earth's descent, the Protector god Vishnu, in the form of a massive bull, lifted the earth and restored it to its original place. He then entered Tripura and drank dry, the pool of magic water that rejuvenated the dead Asuras.
The destruction of Tripura
As the war raged on, Devas continued to struggle to match the Asuras, who used their magical powers to great effect in the war. One day the three cities aligned. Shiva ordered that a chariot be made from which he would battle the three demons.
The war-chariot designed for Shiva was different. Brahma was holding the reins. Vishnu was the arrow, and Agni was the tip of the arrow. Vayu was the inside the feathers on rear of the arrow. All other Devas had their own places and forms in the chariot. Just as the cities aligned, when the Pushya nakshatra positioned appropriately, Lord Shiva was about to strung the mighty bow, the Pinaka with the arrow, the Devas were overjoyed that Tripura was going to be destroyed because of them (because they were part of the war-chariot, without which Shiva cannot destroy).
Lord Shiva, knowing what the Devas were thinking, did not fire the arrow and just smiled. All the three purams were burned immediately. Shocked at this act, Brahma pleaded that Devas thought wrong and that Shiva should forgive and release the arrow, or else the Devas would have a permanent bad name and the reason behind making this chariot would become meaningless. Shiva then fired the arrow on the already burning Cities.
The Devas then understood:
1. Shiva can take the power of anyone/anything because it is his power that is already existing in first place.
2. Even though the boon granted was "one-arrow-one-shot and cities should be destroyed", Shiva has the ultimate power to rule them over.
3. Lord Shiva does not require a huge Chariot with Meru as bow, Vishnu as arrow etc. He could simply destroy/create anything even without moving his eyes.
The "smile and burn" act of Shiva in Tamil is beautifully called as "sirithu purameritha peruman" (God who laughed and burned the three purams)
Mayasura Protected
Lord Shiva immediately regretted his act, since he had forgotten to protect Maya, a great devotee of his. Realising this, Nandi raced ahead of the arrow and informed Maya of the impending doom. Instantly, Maya fled Tripura, leaving behind the great city he had constructed, which was immediately reduced to ashes, along with its inhabitants, the Asuras, by the great arrow of Shiva. This destruction of Tripura, led to the appellation Tripurantaka (????????????), for Shiva.

Although this story myth is presented in ancient Hindu mythology/theology as an event that already has taken place it actually defines in a detailed form the means and global actions and time that humanity would need to accomplish the work stated above in the Sepher Yetzira, in order to bring the Yotzer, the Creator onto the physical micono/seat in our world.

This is not a divergence in understanding how Tikkun Olam has already been accomplished on earth. It is backround for understanding who the Three "strangers" are in the Torah (and Quranic) story of Abraham and Sarah.

They hold the key to the global purification we are experiencing now and the new eon being birthed.

The three Hindu "deities" are directly related to the three realms of the yetzira:

Lev/heart(soul)=Vishnu

Gilgul/wheel(time)=Brahma

Teli/Dragon(matter/space)=Shiva

HAPPY HAPPY PURIM and ADAR II!

feeling the dragon/ the Qutub great Tree/Part II

2011-03-03T05:30:00.000-08:00

The sage Rabbi Avraham Azulai foresaw that the Hebrew year 5760(1999/2000) a global purification by water would commence and the whole earth would become the holy land with a holy people(L'Chesed Avraham(1600's ce) The Sepher HaZohar explicitly mentions the Hebrew years 5770's as a global awakening and so our times are exceptional. Both the Hebrew and Sufi Islamic wisdom traditions relate the celestial and terrestrial realms to the three movements of the Earth. The mystery of the three guests of Abraham and Sarah holds the key to the wisdom traditions, their work and the ensuing spin of what it all is....
to be continued
In the Natve American Hopi tradition it is the twin grandsons of the Grandmother Spider who keep the earth turning in balance, each a guardian of a polar point. These two are also called Echoer and Weaver. The three personages re therefore also related to the three realms spoken of in the Kabbalah primer, the Sepher Yetzira - Lev the Heart; Gilgul the womb/wheel and Teli - the dragon Axis. The three Guests who visited Abraham informed him of who they were and how the Tikkun/repair of the world needed to proceed.
time, the wheel/gilgul is experienced as an unfolding wave experience and so now the Earth is experiencing a flowering of the ancient holy tree called wisdom. the third realm called Dragon/Teli or axis by the Sepher Yetzira and the Sepher Bahir(ancient kabbalistic primers)is beginning to be fully experienced by a humanity in an initiatic time phase. Andso does the decade of the 5770's in the Hebrew prophetic tradition involve the opening of the Eye(ayin)of Source(ayin=70) and the wavelike synchronicities are multiplying exponentially. the Hebrew year 5772(72=chesed/lovingkindness) also overlaps the Gregorian year 2012, the sacred Mayan new cycle beginning date(2011/2012) and the Tibetan/Asian special year of the WATER DRAGON. Yes folks we are catching the wave called WATER DRAGON from the very roots of the tree called the Vine of Solomon in Shir HaShirim/Song of Songs. We are feeling the Source. She is already shaking the globe.

Jews of Qumran and the Mayan Calendar

2011-01-22T16:53:00.000-08:00

Revealed in the manuscripts of the ancient Dead Sea are keys to the awakening the world is now experiencing as related to other wisdom streams such as the Mayan and Buddhist. Below is an excerpt of a scroll about the elemental chiefs called by the Maya and native Americans Quetzalcoatl/feathered serpent and Tezcatlipoca/smoking mirror:
One of the Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q535, Manuscript B) is written from Amram's(father of Moses) point of view, and hence has been dubbed the Testament of Amram. The document is dated to the 2nd century BC and, in the form of a vision, briefly discusses angelic powers called the Watchers:

Manuscript B

Fragment 1

(9) [... 1 saw Watchers]

(10) in my vision, the dream-vision. Two (men) were fighting over me, saying ...

(11) and holding a great contest over me. I asked them, ‘Who are you, that you are thus empo[wered over me?’ They answered me, ‘We]

(12) [have been em]powered and rule over all mankind.’ They said to me, ‘Which of us do yo[u choose to rule (you)?’ I raised my eyes and looked.]

(13) [One] of them was terr[i]fying in his appearance, [like a serpent, [his] cl[oa]k many-colored yet very dark...

(14) [And I looked again], and ... in his appearance, his visage like a viper, and [wearing ...]

15) [exceedingly, and all his eyes ...]

Fragment 2

(1) [... em]powered over you ...

(2) [I replied to him,] ‘This [Watcher,] who is he?’ He answered me, ‘This Wa[tcher ...]

(3) [and his three names are Belial and Prince of Darkness] and King of Evil.’ I said, ‘My lord, what dom[inion ...?’]

(4) [’and his every way is darkened, his every work da[rk]ened. In Darkness he ...

(5) [Yo]u saw, and he is empowered over all Darkness, while I [am empowered over all light.]

(6) [... from] the highest regions to the lowest I rule over all Light, and over al[1 that is of God. I rule over (every) man]

Fragment 3

(1) [of His grace and peace. Over all the sons of Lig]ht have] I been empowered.’ I asked him, [What are your names ... ?’]

(2) He [s]aid to me, ‘[My] three names are [Michael and Prince of Light and King of Righteousness.’]

Both of these "twin chiefs" as they are known in the Americas are mentioned as quarreling over who has possession of the body of the father of Moses. They are said to have dominion over Ohr/light and chosheyk/darkness. They are mentioned and explained in the Kabbalistic text called Sepher haBahir where they are said to rule over the elements water and fire and in another place in that book, silver and gold. They are related to the two "Princes"/Sarim mentioned in the book of Tanach, Sepher Daniel. In the famous Aztec sunstone calendar (we see in the image above left) the twin fire serpents as they circle the calendar(image above right). the profiles of their faces on the bottom peer out at us as one full face. Their bodies are made of Twenty-two segments, the number of Hebrew letters. This stone was rolled into a lake outside the city in mexico for safe keeping by native priests when the empire was being invaded and destroyed by Hernan Cortes. It is a prophecy engraved in this stone about the times - these twenty-five years now between 1987 and 2012 ce, the Aztec count ending in 1987 and the Mayan in 2012. That year1987 was 5720 on the Aztec calendar count, only 28 years apart from the Hebrew calendar count at the time 5748. Twenty-eight years is one cycle of the planet Shabbatai/Saturn who is directly related in both Jewish and Mayan wisdom traditions to the celestial elemental chiefs. The Sepher HaZohar mentions in the part on parsha terumah that the year 5750/1990 as the year that these chiefs begin direct involvement in the world. This was only three years from the end of the Aztec calendar count. Torah both written and oral speaks of a cycle of seven years as an initiatory test period. Jacob had to toil for two such seven year periods as he and the Jewish lineage tradition was being initiated as kings/sovereigns and priests. Now we are three seven year periods(3X7=21) this spring since 5750/1990 as this epoch of initiation involves - 1) Sovereignty/Kingship; 2) Priesthood and 3) Judgeship.

the new Dawn Star/from out of Mitzrayim

2011-01-02T07:03:00.000-08:00

This time of year Jews around the world are singing the part of the Torah that involves the story of the "exodus". This wall art from an ancient Egyptian burial chamber of a Lady pharaoh encapsulates the knowledge of initiation hidden in the wisdom of the Egyptian priesthood and taught to Moses as we are told in the Torah. The story of the serpent scepter of Aaron swallowing that of the Pharoah's priests represents the handing over of ancient lines of wisdom initiation. The Hebrew priesthood was just coming to age so to speak with that story. The helical serpent has always been symbolic of wisdom lineages. This picture is a like a Rosetta stone for students of various aspects of the wisdom tradition from around the globe. The Ram headed mummy crowned by the red dawn star is like a cocoon for a level of human initiation that was still in the early stages which is one reason the mummy has an animal head and is a mummy. The three images are like the three columns of the traditional tree of the mekubalim/kabbalists and the three qualities of the astrologers - mutable, fixed and cardinal. They also correspond to the three planets left-jupiter(throne on head)right-saturn(cauldron on head) and the middle-mars/ram-red dawn star. The mathematical keys are the three number grids/kameas-4X4:3X3:5X5. The rebirth initiation level described by this scene is becoming real for humanity in our times right now. this is the real meaning behind the great calendar changes being touted about these days. from out of the mitzrayim/Egyptian constricted place humanity is making real the promised land of a prosperous peaceful world for all where the creative powers of the entire universe(Ram) support the values of justice(Nepthys) and kindness(Isis).

The new dawn star/"Peacemaker" and the Solstice eclipse

As previously mentioned the rare solstice eclipse occurred on a Yom haShleishi/Tuesday whose planetary chief is Meadim/mars according to the mekubalim. This means that the color of the eclipsed levanah/moon as red is directly related to the color of the planetary heaven of meadim/mars and the intrinsic quality of this hechal/"palace". The positive qualities of this change for the Earth will be become more visible and "real" as we approach this coming month of April/Nisan when the planet meadim/mars appears as the Dawn star on the eastern horizon. The event of the eclipse was like the beginning of the underground growth of a tree which really begins to wax as we enter the Hebrew months of Shevat and Adar in the spring. The physical planet Meadim/mars was and is actually conjunct, very close to the sun, at the eclipse and so not visible in the sky now. There is a lot of mis-information about the qualities of this planetary chief due to the dominance of the popular Greco-Roman mythology which stresses only the kelippot/shell(negative/imbalanced) value of the planetary heaven. This has kept hidden the true "value" of the red Dawn star. The ancient Skidi-Pawnee sky watchers of Turtle island called this Dawn star the "Peacemaker" elder brother of the more well known planet Nogah/venus who is really the "evening star".

Honoring the Center

2010-12-23T06:44:00.000-08:00

True interfaith community is beginning to happen. This can be supported when the "spin" of each religious tradition is understood, how it may have been of value at one time to perpetuate the specific prayer form lineage. Then the essential part of the "work" of that religion needs to be delved into and then we may all accept each other within the profound gratefulness that Mother Earth is here just for us. That is what this blog has been about basically for the five years it has been around the web. The medicine wheels and how they relate to the human soul root Tree, especially get to the heart of the matter. In hearing of the call to prayer of the Native American elders this week for the solstice eclipse it reminded me of the heartfelt teachings and vision of the Lakota elder chief Black Elk and the wisdom of the "Six Grandfathers", the Daybreak Star, and the sprouting Tree in the Center of it all. Here is his final prophecy from the 1930's ce book "The Sacred Pipe" about the Center of it all:
Black Elk explains in his book “The Sacred Pipe” the seventh sacred rite of the Lakota People; called Throwing of the Ball:
"First, it is a little girl, and not an older person, who stands at the centre and throws the ball. This is as it should be, for just as Wakan-Tanka is eternally youthful and pure, so is this little girl who has just come from Wakan-Tanka, pure and without any darkness [Ignorance of His light. Ed.]. Just as the ball is thrown from the centre to the four quarters, so Wakan-Tanka is at every direction and is everywhere in the world; and as the ball descends upon the people, so does His power… The game… represents the course of a man’s life, which should be spent in trying to get the ball, for the ball represents Wakan-Tanka, or the universe…”
“At this sad time today among our people, we are scrambling for the ball, and some are not even trying to catch it, which makes me cry when I think of it. But soon I know it will be caught, for the end is rapidly approaching, and then it will be returned to the center, and our people will be with it. It is my prayer that this be so, and it is in order to aid in this “Recovery of the ball”, that I have wished to make this book.”
A true "interfaith" movement shows us that we are not only scrambling these days to "catch the ball" but we have succeeded and now as a community we are finding the center."

Earth Dragon Solstice eclipse/Full Moon of Tevet

2010-12-18T18:41:00.001-08:00

This total eclipse at midnight on December 20/21 visible for much of America will have a Seventy-two minute long period of totality on the longest night of the year. A total lunar eclipse has not happenned on the winter solstice since 1638 ce. This is the full moon of the Hebrew month of Tevet.This month in the ancient Hebrew wisdom corresponds to the organ of the liver(twelve months=twelve meridian systems)whose function is to purify and is associated with the Nachash/serpent. This month is also related to the tribe of Dan whose way/Derek is like a serpent according to Torah.This eclipse occurs on a Tuesday which is the Hebrew Yom haShleishi , the third day under guardianship of the red planet Meadim/Mars. In fact the Hebrew legends/aggadah tell us that the cold nature of the levanah/moon is warmed by the red glow of the planetary chief meadim/mars. As the reflective illusory white light of the moon is obscured by the body of the Earth so the moon takes on the red glow which is really her own. We pray that the passionate dance between the soul of Earth who is known as the Avvenyu/water serpent among the Pueblos Indians, and the sky dragon, source of all movement, called the Teli in the Hebrew wisdom, helps awaken humanity to the flood of Chesed/lovingkindness.(For those into Hebrew gematria/number knowledge we are in the 72nd year of the 58th Hebrew century(5771). 72= Chesed/love and 58 = both both Noach, from the first flood, and Chen=grace.) Both Zohar and the Qumran scrolls predict a second flood of mighty "upper waters" to flood and purify the entire Earth with Chesed.

The Flood of Chesed/Total Eclipse

2010-12-15T06:05:00.000-08:00

In this century of the Hebrew calendar count we are at 58 - the 58th century. Fifty-eight is the value of the name of Noach who carried the root nefesh level of soul of all of humanity. This century we are living through the awakening of this global soul and the flood of a new vibration of chesed, lovingkindness in our olam/world. The longest night this year is brightened by the full moon of the month of tevet which is also a total eclipse where the globe of the Earth blocks most of the light of the sun from reaching the moon. The flood of love in our Earth was predicted in the scrolls of Qumran in the fragment of the sometimes called “the birth of Noach”. It is also mentioned in Zohar. We will have this quoted here soon!

The Shape of it all/The Menorah/Tree

2010-12-05T07:40:00.001-08:00

The crisis of change of these days, as it has always been, is based on issues involving the shape of the universe. The ancient aboriginal wisdom traditions are rooted in a five continuum geocentric world view. This worldview posits a Center/Source to all that is. The generally accepted modern scientific hypothesis rests on a four continuum worldview with no center. Three dimensions of space and one of time. Very lost in space. The wisdom traditions grow from a worldview that has a dimension of soul-being that holds the other dimensions within itself like an ocean and an island. The “light” of the lights we honour this time of year whether on the menorah or hanging on the tree flow from a Source that is the Center of the universe. The arguments about the existence of the “divine” and proper divine names and messengers, and the nature of “deities” may not be the real issue in the turbulence of our times. It is still about the “shape of the world” and the “where” of the divine. From the ancient Jewish wisdom of the Sepher HaZohar: “It flashes along through a hundred paths and ways, some narrow and some broad, until the house of the world was made. This House forms the centre of the universe, and it has many doors and vestibules on all its sides, sacred and exalted abodes where the celestial birds build their nests, each according to its kind. From the midst of it rises a large tree…(from Sperling translation Zohar I-172a). Happy Chanukah!

healing the Night/ Tikkun Layil/Eighth Fire prophecy

2010-11-13T11:47:00.000-08:00

In the Jewish tradition there is the idea that the Beith HaMikdash/Holy Temple exists physically during the holiday of Hanukah wherever we light the menorah. With this we may understand that the true physical location of the “Holy House” moves around the earth as does the Holy Land expand her borders to all lands(prophecy of aggadah/legends). This “Holy land” we are told in midrash on Torah was tidily wrapped up completely under Jacob’s head while he dreamed of the people of wisdom moving out in all directions around the globe. This month of kislev we have the sign/mazal of the Keshet, the bow which is the rainbow and the seven colors. In America we have aboriginal peoples who also honor greatly the seven chiefs of the color lodges who surround the center of all that is. In fact the ancient Pueblo people saw one of these chiefs returning to the human world as the red kachina/dancer and bringing in the era where all people live in the way of wisdom of the pollen path. The Hopi elders have been waiting for some white bearded priests to come to this land with a stone that completes their migration dream. The people of the Jewish Qumran community also saw that the place of the great Temple would move “far away” as you can read this fragment from the Qumran scrolls:
4Q529, 6Q23
1 Wording of text which Michael addressed the angels of God[...]2 Michael said, "I have located there an army of angels[1][...]3[...] nine big hills: two to the Eas[t...]4[and two to the] South. It was at this place Michael met with the Angel Gabriel [...][2] 5... During their meeting Michael translated a dream of Gabriel'. Gabriel then said to Michael:[...]6 It was written in his text that God, the all powerful,[...]7 the boys of Ham to the boys of Shem. And see my Supreme being, the god of the earth[...]8 When it rains freely[...]9 view a city Made to worship the Supreme being, Lo[rd Eternal...]10Anything that is bad will be performed before God[3], the Almighty Lo[rd Eternal...]11 God will remember his people[...]12 the Supreme being; to him the prizes and praises and to him[...]13 in a far away place there will be a man[...]14 the man will say to him: 'Observe this[...]15 bring to me silver and gold[...]... [...]16 the good man[4] (The Dead Sea Scrolls Collection at The Gnostic Society Library)

We light the eight candles of the temple and honor the hearth fires of the earth lodge that dance with the promise of the people who sanctify the Center from where blessings flow. In native America this parallels the "The Seven Fires Prophecies of the Anishinabe" people and the lighting of the "Eighth Fire" which inaugurates an era of the great peace. The famous work of the Jews called “Tikkun Olam”, reapairing the world actually involves “repairing” the eighth of the omakim/depths listed in the first words of Torah, as HaLaylah, the Night and the candlelit nights of kislev are deep in the night of the yea.r This the only holiday that occurs in the dark of the month. We are celebrating the “event” of the Tikkun Lail, the healing of the Night with the new stories and legends being told and created.

Notice the middle row - three-Five-Seven these correspond to the planetary chiefs Saturn/Shabbatai-Mars/meadim and Venus/Nogah - who are all visible in the west after dark. these according to Book Yetzirah are Peace/Wealth/Life for this month of teshuvah Elul and the year 5771 which reveals the Aleph/HaShem. baruch haShem!

Kabbalah, The twenty count and the Buddhas

2010-07-28T08:27:00.001-07:00

The eight spoked wheel of the twenty count as pictured here with the five levels of human soul explains how all the world’s prayer forms/religious traditions are connected in the awakening of the holy tree which this picture wheel is the trunk and roots. In Buddhist tradition there are always existent one thousand Buddhas who are the awareness of the wheel which for the mekubalim is like the Eleph ceseph, the river worth a thousand pieces of silver, the river of life. Buddhist traditon tells us that the last Buddha, Sakyamuni was the fourth in the series of one thousand. Using our wheel we can see that the first four Buddhas would have had the four soul roots as delineated by the four basic directions and the Fifth Buddha would have connected to the center/yechidah level. In the Hebrew tradition the first four “Buddhas” could correspond with Noach/nephesh/- Abraham/Ruach-Sarah/Chayah-Israel/neshamah. In the Zohar these four soul root individuals are given as the feet of the merkabah chariot, the three patriarchs, with David replacing the feminine malchut/Chayah and the fifth rider on the chariot is the king whose names is Peace=Solomon. These four “soul roots’ at the four directions would in the Native american wisdom be the four Clan chiefs of the elements themselves-Earth-Fire-Air-Water , and in the Hebrew tradition are called by the names of specific angels.
I gave these wheels to someone recently and they asked me well what do the numbers represent? This is an involved initiatic Cheyenne elder wisdom tradition and I am not an expert in explaining this but because of the correspondence with kabbalah I can explain it in that light. The numbers are counted in four swings around the wheel that you can count out for yourself. The center place of divine selfhood are four levels of initiation(5-10-15-20) achieved by a mastery of the relationship at each level with the four directional quadrants. The I and THOU of divine relationship in each of four “worlds” of relationship so to speak.
The five continuums of Kabbalah are also depicted in the wheel and the sephirot/omakim=depths at each end of a spoke/continuum. Four cross spokes(eight points) include the continuum of time, reshith and acharit(beginning and ending) and the other three spokes are the three continuum of space - up/down, left/right and front/back. There is a spoke or continuum going vertically through the center of the wheel=crown/kingdom - the vertical nature of the holy Tree of Life. It is all here in this beautiful wheel.
Thanks again to H.Storm and his book “Lightning Bolt” for the wheel.

Yom HaShleishi/Tuesday TishaB'Av and the NINE

2010-07-14T08:50:00.000-07:00

The nine degrees of “holy Creatures”, Chayoth HaKodesh and the nine days of Av and the year of Tesha=770(our year 5770)=Nine all reveals great wisdom.. These nine creatures are explained in Rabbi Jacob ben Jacob haKohen’s book translated in“The early Kabbalah” published by the Paulist Press on pages 159 to 162.
"Similarly I will enlighten you as to how you can discover that the letter tet informs us about the holy creatures. Know that the tet equals nine and that there are nine degrees of holy creatures."
The Kamea box of Shabbatai(pictured above), called the box of nine numbers also explains the awakening of the meaning of the letter Teth, the ninth Hebrew letter in our world. The world of understanding and the upper “mother”/Binah(vertice of the continuum of time)has joined with the world of “kingdom”(vertice where “space” meets “soul”, giving us only Nine vertices of the five continuums, the vertice of Ra/”evil” or uncertainty of potential of soul; has become one with, lifted up to “Tov” the goodness of the “crown”. The entire Earth is an eretz kedusha.
The mekubalim/kabbalists these days compare the ancient idea of Tzimtzum, the contraction of the divine light that allowed “room” for the physical creation to manifest, as a foreshadowing of the theory of the “Big Bang”. In the very literal, Peshat understanding of this theory of cosmogony, all the material substance/energy of the universe was contracted to a dense place and then it exploded in a moment that brought the physical world into manifestation. Following this incredible line of thinking there had to be a hierarchical strata to the “original” substance with some of it being at the center or near the center of the original dense mass. Remember that in the 4-continuum worldview there is no center to our universe, only in the worldview of the ancient wise ones, the five continuum view,(from the sepher Yetzira) is there a "center" to all that is. At the Big Bang time and space met so to speak at this "center". This is why some special material and the mishkan of Yisrael has been a key to bringing the “center” of the 5-contnuum world into our physical world since some of this “central” material has been found and “hallowed” throughout the thousands of years of the wisdom tradition. This “material” made up the pillow of Yakov/Jacob when he had the dream of the angelic ladder and the future of Yisrael, this was the stuff that Moshe Rabbainu carried on Har Sinai. This was also related to the material of the Be’ar/Well of our holy matriarch Miriam. The material of the stone of Miriam’s well did not totally disappear with her death, only it’s capacity to bring fresh “water”/chockmah into the world. This is because a being like Miriam who had the Chayah level soul root had to be with the “material” for the well to function. This is the "missing" piece of stone tablet that the Hopi Indians have been expecting a elder white brother to carry with him from the east. And now it reemerges in an olam where the “center” is being revealed again for a global change towards the Tov, the goodness of this gift of livingness in the material world. Next Tuesday, Yom HaShleish/third day, is the day kept for the revealing of the Nine(nine of Av=tesh B’Av) and what the Kamea/box of Nine really is about. The understanding of this box that is a wheel, that unifies and explains wisdom lineages as diverse as ancient China, India, Tibet, Arabia, European and Hebrew all in nine numbers in this year 5770 whose name means tesha=Nine.(much more about the kamea of Nine in future posts) The center is being found, the gate of the holy temple that was sunken into the ground according to the sepher HaZohar and has been raised up and sanctified. The tenth has become the ninth because we have a center to our world physically in the third Temple. The “angel chief” of the third day, yom haShleishi is one of the Seven day chiefs who stand before the ceso/throne in the world of beriah and this “chief” was needed to be brought into this world physically. To have achieved this all the powerful angels of Desire/Geburah needed to be coaxed into the wisdom lineages and this includes the seraph guardian of Rome. To do this we needed a prayer form, a religion, that was built on Rome so to speak. And so the last two thousand years of a solar calendar that is now the calendar of the secular world. It is the joining of the two planetary “day chiefs” in the sky Shabbatai/saturn and Meadim/Mars that we see in the west after dark and these are part of a powerful T-square planetary formation that has the entire olam/world in a momentum of deep awakening. The American Indian medicine wheel(picture above) has eight directions on the circle around the center which reveals the Yechidah, the fifth level of soul that is connected to the center and the Five in the central box of the kamea of Shabbatai(pictured above). The nine degress of the kamea of Shabbatai have been lowered into the physical earth, binah/understanding (4)joining with malchuth/kingdom(2). This reveals the Beith HaMikdash HaShleisi, the third sacred temple. Zachor Shabbat Chazon!

welcoming the Sabbath/Total Eclipse Sun Today!

2010-07-11T07:01:00.000-07:00

I am pleased that there is some buzz on the internet about the beginning of the time for the afternoon prayer to welcome the Sabbath bride into our world based on the thousand years equals a day scenario so we are in the sixth "day"/Friday in the sixth millennium - 5000-6000 year/day of the Hebrew calendar. This means that Rosh Chodesh Av, beginning this erev/evening is equal to the 18.5 hour of Friday in the bigger scheme and time to welcome the sacred in an active formal way for traditional Jews. It is an ongoing theme of this blog that the "global sabbath" actually began exactly nineteen years ago today on the Yahrzheit of Rashi/Tammuz 29 5751/July 11, 1991. This date corresponded with a total solar eclipse which can also be found recorded in the ancient Dresden codex as significant in the aboriginal American wisdom tradition. The particular zodiacal degree of this eclipse - 19.5 degrees of the crab/Sartan is in the five degree space out of seventy two spaces(quinaries) that directly corresponds with the holy name - Yod-Yod-Yod of the shemhamphorash. this name of the seventy two is associated with the Hebrew priesthood, the Birchas Cohanim/priestly blessing beginning with the three yods. Today likewise sees a total eclipse of the sun/Tammuz 29 at this same degree. every nineteen years the gregorian and hebrew dates coincide, the Hebrew calendar being geared to a nineteen year metonic eclipse cycle. We are not waiting for the "Sabbath" so to speak, for the joy, for the peace, when we pray the Mincha prayer. we are acknowledging the presence of the sacredness in our cycle of time and space, here and now! Indeed as we mention often in this blog, the Yom Rishon/Sunday, today has been transformed with our Teffilot/prayers and mitzvot/deeds and it has become Yom Echad as recorded in the first paragraph of the sefer torah/Genesis.Baruch haShem!

Beit haMikdash Shleishi/ Yom haShleishi visible in the west

2010-07-06T07:16:00.000-07:00

The star that rules the third day/ Yom haShleishi is visible in the west after dark over the next few weeks and is joining with the star that rules the Sabbath; all according to the sepher yetzirah. Meadim/Mars whose kamea/number grid gives us the 65/=Adonai(#value of the rows) rules yom haShleishi/third day is joining with shabbatai/saturn whose kamea/number grid gives us the 15=yah(#value of the rows). all this is visible as they move into conjunction in the west after dark along with Nogah/venus and the star regulus, called the heart of the Aryeh/Lion. the third holy house/temple is protected by the gate keepers of the third yom/day,the winged thunders. The navi/prophet isaiah saw this and wrote about the seraphim and the third temple on Earth.

the five souls and the medicine wheel

2010-06-30T05:50:00.000-07:00

Here are two medicine wheels that depict how we find the center of our five continuum world. three continuums of space, one of time and one of soul/being. The hebrew alphabet is also divided into five types of letters, from the sepher Yetzirah, and five is the key number of the golden mean(fibonacci series) and only found in living organisms as a mirror of the soul/being continuum. And so the mekubalim tell us of five levels or qualities of soul substance. These five are a key to all the worlds religions and the work of the wisdom tradition across millenniums. I have added the names of the five souls to the twenty count medicine wheel taken from Hyemeyohsts Storm's book "Lightning Bolt" published by Ballantine Books in 1994. You will notice that in the center of the Twenty Count wheel I have placed the Yechidah level of soul. The bringing into the human world this level of soul fundamentally changes the entire world and our relationship to the five continuums. Many of the great prophets and code givers have carried either the root neshamah(male soul root)or the Chaiyah(female soul root). Sarah, Miriam of the hebrew tradition had the Chaiyah soul of the people of Yisrael, and Yisrael and Noach and Moshe had the Neshamah. As the wheel states that the prophet called Sweet Medicine had the neshamah of the Plains peoples and White Calf Woman had the Chaiyah.Other peoples and traditions may find their own prophets connections to this wheel as well as an individual connection. The attainment of the Shaar HaNun, the fiftieth gate in the Jewish tradition and the movement into the fifth world of Native wisdom traditions is about making the Yechidah/center unified soul conscious in the physical.

Leviathan/"Black serpent" the Oil disaster and Tikkun Olam

2010-06-24T05:24:00.000-07:00

This Oil gushing disaster from the south appears to fulfill the end of this Native American prophecy of the struggling three serpents. The Black Serpent(in bold below) from the south who is described with a head that drips salt water may represent corporate greed as well as deep emotional(greed)imbalance called a kelippah/husk in the Hebrew wisdom tradition. We can find a similar story in the Hebrew legends/aggadah that refer to the battle between the giant fish/leviathan(black); behemoth animal(red)and Ziz/bird(white)- the elements of water, fire & air.
Taken from “The Lodge” a Native American teaching website:

“Deganawida (“He the Thinker”) was a wise prophet of the Iroquois. He lived at the same time as the great chief Hiawatha, circa 1500. At that time, the Iroquois nations were at war among themselves.
Deganawida was given a vision of a gigantic spruce tree which reached up to the sky to the Elder Brothers, symbolizing the Family of Humanity. Deganawida began to preach a religion of love and harmony, thereby bringing unity to the Iroquois nations, a great confederacy that lasted more than 300 years.
In another vision, Deganawida foresaw the destiny of the Native Americans. That vision was transmitted orally until Edmund Wilson published it in his Apologies to the Iroquois:
When Deganawidah was leaving the Indians in the Bay of Quinte in Ontario, he told the Indian people they would face a time of great suffering. They would distrust their leaders and the principles of peace of the League, and a great white serpent was to come upon the Iroquois, and that for a time it would intermingle with the Indian people and would be accepted by the Indians, who would treat the serpent as a friend. This serpent in time would become so powerful that it would attempt to destroy the Indian, and the serpent is described as choking the life’s blood out of the Indian people.
Deganawidah told the Indians that they would be in such a terrible state at this point that all hope would seem to be lost. He told them that when things looked their darkest, a red serpent would come from the north and approach the white serpent, which would be terrified, and upon seeing the red serpent he would release the Indian, who would fall to the ground almost like a helpless child, and the white serpent would turn his attention to the red serpent.
The bewilderment would cause the white serpent to accept the red serpent momentarily. The white serpent would be stunned and take part of the red serpent and accept him. Then there is a heated argument and fight. And then the Indian revives and crawls toward the land of the hilly country, and then he would assemble his people together, and they would renew their faith and the principles of the peace that Deganawidah had established.
There would at the same time exist among the Indians a great love and forgiveness for his brother, and in the gathering would come streams from all over — not only the Iroquois but from all over — and they would gather in this hill country, and they would renew their friendship. And Deganawidah said they would remain neutral in this fight between the red and white serpents.
At the time they were watching the two serpents locked in this battle, a great message would come to them, which would make them ever so humble, and when they became that humble, they will be waiting for a young leader, an Indian boy, possibly in his teens,who would be a choice seer. Nobody knows where he is or where he comes from, but he will be given great power,and would be heard by thousands,and he would give them the guidance and the hope to refrain from going back to their land and he would be the accepted leader.
And Deganawidah said that they will gather in the land of the hilly country, beneath the branches of an elm tree, and they should burn tobacco and call upon Deganawidah by name when we are facing our darkest hours, he will return. Deganawidah said as the choice seer speaks to the Indians, that number as the blades of grass, he will be heard by all at the same time.
As the Indians gathered watching the fight, they notice from the south a black serpent coming from the sea, and he is described as dripping with salt water, and as he stands there, he rests for a spell to get his breath, all the time watching to the north to the land where the red serpents and white serpents are fighting.
Deganawidah said that the battle between the white and red serpents opened real slow but would then become so violent that the mountains would crack and the rivers would boil and the fish would turn up their bellies. He said that there will be no leaves on the trees in that area. There would be no grass, and that strange bugs and beetles would crawl from the ground and attack both serpents, and he said that a great heat would cause the stench of death to sicken both serpents.
And then as the boy seer is watching this fight, the red serpent reaches around the back of the white serpent and pulls from him a hair which is carried toward the south by a great wind into the waiting hands of the black serpent, and as the black serpent studies this hair, it suddenly turns into a woman, a white woman who tells him things that he knows to be true; but; he wants to hear them again.
When this white woman finishes telling these things, he takes her and gently places her on a rock with great love a respect, and then he becomes infuriated at what he has heard, so he makes a beeline for the north, and he enters the battle between the red and white serpents with such speed and anger that he defeats the two serpents who have already been battle weary.
When he finishes, he stands on the chest of the white serpent, and he boasts and puts his chest out like he is conqueror, and he looks for another serpent to conquer. He looks to the land of the hilly country and then he sees the Indian standing with his arms folded and looking ever so noble so that he knows that this Indian is not the one that we should fight. The next direction that he will face will be eastward and at that time he will momentarily be blinded by a light that is many times brighter than the sun. The light will be coming from the east to the west over the water, and when the black serpent regains his sight, he becomes terrified and makes a beeline for the sea. He dips into the sea and swims away in a southerly direction, and shall never again be seen by the Indians.
The white serpent revives, and he, too, sees the light, and he makes a feeble attempt to gather himself and go toward the light. A portion of the white serpent refuses to remain, but instead makes it way toward the land of the hilly country,and there he will join the Indian People with a great love like that of a lost brother. The rest of the white serpent would go to the sea and dip into the sea and would be lost out of sight for a spell. Then suddenly the white serpent would appear again on the top of the water and he would be slowly swimming toward the light. Deganawidah said that the white serpent would never again be a troublesome spot for the Indian People.
The red serpent would revive and he would shiver with great fear when he sees the light. He would crawl to the north and leave a bloody shaky trail northward, and he would never again be seen by the Indians.
Deganawidah said as this light approaches that he would be that light, and he would return to his Indian People, and when he returns, the Indian People would be a greater nation than they ever were before.”

For those students of the Hebrew wisdom tradition, the prophet Deganawada was said to have had a stutter and so his friend and student Hiawatha delivered the message of peace fluently to the people after Deganawada healed Hiawatha of his own troubled imbalanced feelings and thoughts. It is therefore probable that Deganawada like Moshe Rabbeinu carried the Neshamah level soul root of his people.
The struggle between the Red and white serpents never caused what appears to be described as a nuclear global disaster. perhaps this is because of the fact that in the Hebrew legends/Agaddah it is stated that Moshe rabbeinu already conquered the Ziz bird; the out of balance/kelippah of the air element. Like in the Hopi prophecy we have always had a choice in prophetic outcome and the wisdom lineages have been quite succesful in tikkun Olam. Baruch HaShem!

Grand Square and the month of Tammuz

2010-06-20T08:05:00.000-07:00

This Hebrew month the original Tablets came from Sinai and were brought down on the 17th of Tammuz, the humanity, the people and the individuals were not yet ready. This month we have the solstice Sun/shemesh completing a grand square in the cardinal signs with Shabbatai/saturn,pluto/(octave of meadim), and Uranus/Jupiter. saturn/shabbatai moves back soon in the year to return to the beginning degree of the scales. We are also completing a 19 year cycle of the Hebrew calendar coinciding with a 19 year metonic eclipse cycle on the 29th of Tammuz, the yahrzeit of the Rashi at a solar eclipse. This month is the month of "seeing" according to the Sepher yetzirah. The grand square is all about making physically visible, the "squaring of the circle". This square particularly involves the heavy hitters of the planetary stars in the cardinal signs. these signs involve the direct "will" of the Divine source as our world moves through crisis of global change and challenge. This planetary "star" formed in the moon's/levanah waxing light of this profoundly deep month will illuminate the dark second half of the lunar month that begins the traditional "three weeks" of mourning. This month we may see how we are in the times of the Beith haMikdash HaShleishi, the third manifestation of the Holy temple in the way that the Ramchal and Rashi saw this happening. The temple HaShleishi/the third corresponds to the star keeper chief of Yom haShleishi, the third day usually called tuesday. The celestial chief is Meadim,(not the same as the greco-roman deity) but the day chief who aligns with the Wakinyan, the winged thunders of the Americas known as the Seraphim. These have become the custodians of the "Michono", the seat of haShem in this physical world. The chief of ancient rome was their chief in the angelic dimensions "below" the throne called Yetzirah and with the success of the global prayer forms he has been brought in to the wisdom lineage and superceded so to speak by the Omak/depth of power/desire called Kamael(gematria 91=Amen) in the world of Beriah/throne. This "lowering" of the "seat/michono" of the source has taken milleniums of effort and is the opus magnum as called in global wisdom traditions. The Chief of the color "Red" aligns the star meadim/mars with the "third" day and the "third" holy house. The navi/prophet Isaiah saw the completed third temple, the only prophet to describe the six-winged Seraphim, protecters/supporters of the third holy house; and his words are sung on The 17th of Tammuz and Tisha' B'Av, the words that describe the Beith HaMikdash HaShleishi. This year 5770, the 770 equals the value of letters of the word Tesha=nine(nine of Av). We are making this visible now with intention, prayer and service. Baruch HaShem.

Tammuz and the twin Luchoth/Tablets of Stone

2010-06-17T05:55:00.000-07:00

When I visited the ancient Pueblo of Acoma they told me that their creation story involved twin spider women who emerged from the previous world. One carried a bundle and stayed here in America. The other traveled over the eastern ocean. She carried a "book”. I remember from ancient Hebrew legends that one take on the origin of the Hebrew letters was that the shapes were taken from the weaving patterns of the spider web. The twinness in this creation story is mirrored in that of the Hopi Pueblo Indians. Their version says that the one Spider Grandmother had twin grandsons who reside at the poles of the Earth globe and keep her in balance. They are called Weaver and Echo-er. The mekubalim will recognize the twin omakim/depths as Reshith and Acharith. Firsts/beginnings and endings/others. Echo-er is the divine feminine, the upper Mother who holds the beauty of symmetry and the mystery of DNA/RNA which is the code of twinness , the gate of living physicality. The spider has eight legs and radial symmetry, potent neurotoxins(power over death) and the ability to weave. The spider math can be seen in the two Kameas, number boxes of Shabbatai/Saturn and Meadim/Mars. Remember the key numbers of these two kabbalistic grids 10 and 26 when multiplied give us the 260 which is the days in the sacred meso-american Mayan calendar called the Tzolkin. The covenantal prayer of Abraham and Sarah at the Eight days echoes back through history to unite the soul lineages, the omakim/depths and to bring the place of HaShem, the michono, into our physical world. It is all a weave and a walk of beauty. This month of Tammuz, is the month of “seeing” according to the Yetzirah. Baruch HaShem and Good Shabbos!

Seventy Days from lag b'Omer

2010-05-02T10:26:00.001-07:00

We are seventy days from today, the yahrzeit of the Rashbi, to Tammuz 29, the yahrzeit of Rashi. This Tammuz 29, 5770- July 11, 2010 is a total eclipse of the sun. The place of the solar eclipse in the sky is that of the star beta gemini and the teomim, the sacred twins. In the greco-roman tradition this star was apollo-deity of wisdom and male consort of the seven muses(or nine). The degree in the sky is 191/2 of the Sartan/Crab and is within the twenty second(15 -20 degrees of the crab) of the 72 names of the Shemhamforash that is especially connected to the Hebrew priesthood(study the Birchas Kohanim by artscroll)This orientation of the Hellenistic mystery tradition was one reason why the rabbinic sages say in the aggadah that the Greeks were close to the true religion.These Teomim stars are the gates that the temple of hathor/horus at Dendera was aligned to. The entire olam is awakening to the awareness that the yichidah level, the fifth level of soul is now physical in our Earth world. The Shaar haNun/fiftieth gate is opened. The michono, the "place/seat" of HaShem is now where the mekubalim have been charged to bring it to as the Sepher yetzira tells us in Chapter one.
4. There are Ten Sefiroth belimah, ten and not nine, ten and not eleven; understand with
wisdom, and be wise with understanding; test them and explore them, and understand the matter
thoroughly, and restore the Creator to His Place(michono).
Chapter4:8
He caused the letter Dalet to reign over Wisdom, and He tied a crown to it, and He
combined them with one another, and He formed through them: Mars in the universe, the third
day in the year, and the right ear in the body of male and female.

Sabbath and the Center

2010-04-19T06:00:00.001-07:00

This Sabbath we celebrate the 5X5 of the 49 day count from freedom to revelation. This is the same place in the count of the omakim/depths whether you count from Chesed down or Kingdom up. What is significant is that this year it is on the Sabbath. The kamea of Nogah/venus show us the 49 and the 25 in the very center which is the Source. It is also the 5X5 of the sphere of meadim/mars. Notice the number in the center of the kamea of Meadim= thirteen. The mekubalim will understand the significance of this. The value of the numbers in Meadim explain that this has been a “special” place. No wonder the Pawnee called it the True morning star. Each evening it is seen “up” at zenith. Since the work of the mekubalim has been to “lower” the seat of the Source from the eighth sphere within what ancient gedolim would call the “primum mobile”(ophanim) from the realm of the fixed stars and that of the movement of these stars called precession. The seventy-two names are 72X5=360 - quinarie segments of the fixed stars that are as a grand clock mapping the slow wobble of the sacred earth. A new star is now in the twenty second quinarie as of the beginning of the kibbutz golios in 5750. The sacred teomin/twins have been moving through this segment since the circle of the Arizal and the appearance of the Sepher HaZohar; about 500 years.The rabbis knew exactly when the seat of the source could be lowered into the seven planetary spheres called heavens using the star clock of the seventytwo. This Sabbath and even now we can “see” the “up” of “up” (called “knife wing” by the Zuni) as as a sign of the “Center”. It has always been about the Sabbath.

The Bundle of life The lev

2010-04-11T07:47:00.000-07:00

The lev/heart of Earth of Esther the queen is rotation(one of three movements of the earth and the 3 realms from the sepher yetzira) which gives day and night, the yom vlailah, and is all wrapped up in Yom echad = Sunday and the first fiftytwo words of torah. Those initiated in this lev/heart are in the “bundle of life” of the Mother Earth. The ancient Tibetans foresaw that their twenty-fifth Chief of Shambhala,(from the book "The Way of Shambhala") the name of their Yerushalyim, would bring the global peace. this one is called the Rudra chakrin, the wrathful one with the wheel. Those counting the omer will notice the “25” is in the center of the kamea of Nogah/venus and the counting chart of 49 days of omer. This is eternity of eternity - fourth of the fourth of the omakim/depths which is the direction “UP”. Rud-Ra means red ra/thunder and we can look up now all evening in the temperate latitudes and see the red one(planet mars) at Zenith - at “UP”! Very Pashat. The “25” is the 5X5 kamea of Meadim, the red one. Most people only know this chief from the kelippah of Greco-roman myths - the husk level of wrath and war. The Sepher Yetzirah tells us this chief in essence is “wealth”. This Hebrew name of the planet contains the word for red and human=adam, like the adam qadmon both male and female. The native American Pawnee saw the red one as the true morning star and the peacemaker. The Levanah/moon, the holy white one, the Grandmother, who can eclipse the sun of Chesed(but not the river), is Power/strength and boundary. The Torah tells us to use this one as boundary of cycle and time in our calendar. She now completes the “North” which aggadah tells us was left incomplete at the creation.
Zachor Shabbat! This Yom Echad-sunday

Dance of the Omakim/depths

2010-04-04T07:49:00.000-07:00

People around the globe are counting the forty-nine from redemption to revelation. The counting of the omer, the seed. The repeated seven directions/faces of the cube of space give us the 7X7 and the kamea or grid of Nogah/Venus(above left). It is all about the center and our relationship to the Sabbath in our lives. As a theme of this blog there has been a foundational change in the world of the mekubal in this olam/world. We are awakening the center Source(ayin of 5-770=the Source) of all that is into our physical creation and hence a global soul awakening is the nature of the turns of the Mother earth now. Much debate has occurred about the sephirot and the directions and the planetary chiefs that they represent as we count the forty-nine from redemption to revelation. The traditional Tree of the omakim/depths gives Nogah/venus to Netzach and the direction “up”, While Kochab/mercury is associated with Hod and the direction “down”. People familiar with aboriginal shamanic practice and worldview will see something different here since neither of the planetary visible globes Venus or Mercury can ever be “up” or ‘down” by themselves since they are always near the globe of the sun being within the orbit of Earth. Only the outer planetary chiefs mars,Jupiter and Saturn are visible directly “up” at zenith by themselves in the night sky. These therefore were especially regarded in the ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian and Native American cultures because of this ability to appear at zenith by themselves. Since we have entered the forty year period of global awakening in 5750/1990 the visible “planetary” chiefs could be rearranged with the directional omakim/depths=sephirot to better understand where we are now in relationship to center/Sabbath. The little book called the Sepher Yetzirah is a great key for the mekubalim without any dogma or mention of any particular obligatory belief system. It is creed-less like the core Jewish teachings and experiential at it’s root. The Sepher tells us about the five continuum worldview, where the center is by Name and that we need to “lower” the Center/Source into this olam/world. Beautiful in the simplicity. For earth centered folks now we can easily see that the “Three” realms that the Sepher Yetzira tell us the world is built upon are the three special movements of the planet Mother earth - rotation=lev/heart being(soul); orbit=gilgul/wheel time; and precession wobble=Tali/sky space. Zachor Shabbat- remember the Sabbath and the Source of omak/depth(direction), this Pesach Sunday!

Saturn/Pluto the geulah and revealed miracles

2010-03-28T12:18:00.000-07:00

Miracles of a revealed nature continue to mark our exceptional times. We are in a forty year period now(5750-5790) that mirrors the walk in the bamidbar/wilderness of the people of Yisrael becoming a nation of priests. We celebrate this week our birth into this field of dream, realm of all possibility. The entire world is in a great unfolding marked by the long square aspect(over a year) of the planetary chiefs Shabbatai/Saturn and the upper octave of meadim/mars which is Pluto. Both are in the cardinal signs of the scales and the kid/gedi. This misunderstood planetary realm/chief of Pluto is on the seed/essence level of Meadim/mars. Most people are only familiar with the kellipah/shell or husk level of mars due to hellenistic mythology. The true essence of meadim being the value of his day according to the sepher yetzira which is “wealth“. This is the seed essence of all that is precious from precious gems and metals and aromatics to abundant soul substance and the river of ahavah/love. We are experiencing a deep moving of the three “wheels” that support the Earth.
The people of America have taken another huge step to follow Torah and provide care to our fellows who do not have a way to get health-care. Out of that wilderness for 30 million people! Hallelujah!
The renewing, life changing cathartic vibration of the powerful planetary aspects now have entered my own personal family and work life. This involves challenging health issues and the possible closing of the school where I teach.
May HaShem provide the strength for the unfoldment of geulah here and now and everywhere.

New heavens and New Earth

2010-03-11T07:29:00.001-08:00

From the aggadah:
"Several heavens were created, seven in fact, each to serve a purpose of its own. The first, the one visible to man, has no function except that of covering up the light during the night time; therefore it disappears every morning. The planets are fastened to the second of the heavens; in the third the manna is made for the pious in the hereafter; the fourth contains the celestial Jerusalem together with the Temple, in which Michael ministers as high priest, and offers the souls of the pious as sacrifices. In the fifth heaven, the angel hosts reside, and sing the praise of God, though only during the night, for by day it is the task of Israel on earth to give glory to God on high. The sixth heaven is an uncanny spot; there originate most of the trials and visitations ordained for the earth and its inhabitants. Snow lies heaped up there and hail; there are lofts full of noxious dew, magazines stocked with storms, and cellars holding reserves of smoke. Doors of fire separate these celestial chambers, which are under the supervision of the archangel Metatron. Their pernicious contents defiled the heavens until David's time. The pious king prayed God to purge His exalted dwelling of whatever was pregnant with evil; it was not becoming that such things should exist near the Merciful One. Only then they were removed to the earth.

The seventh heaven, on the other hand, contains naught but what is good and beautiful: right, justice, and mercy, the storehouses of life, peace, and blessing, the souls of the pious, the souls and spirits of unborn generations, the dew with which God will revive the dead on the resurrection day, and, above all, the Divine Throne, surrounded by the seraphim, the ofanim, the holy Hayyot, and the ministering angels."

The Legends of the Jews

[1909]
Those familiar with this blog know that we use the seven kameas/number grids(see image above/weekly wheel) of the ancient mekubalim to delve into the "spheres" and what they are really about for the mekubal, the initiate into the Hebrew Wisdom tradition. With the changes that have happened in our times we need to manipulate the "heavenly spheres" so to speak to find the significance of the "new heaven". We may count the spheres either way; three to nine(Shabbatai to Levanah) or nine to three(Levanah to Shabbatai) and if we see the fourth heaven as the Kamea of 6X6=36 and the sphere of Shemesh/sun which is in the "middle" of the ladder either way we count. We know why the aggadah tells us this is the place of the "heavenly" Yerushalyim and temple. we then match up the other spheres and place the numbers of the kameas together so we have the 7X7=49(nogah/venus) plus the 5X5=25 together(meadim/mars); the 8X8=64Kochav/mercury) plus the 4X4=16(Tzedeq/jupiter) go together and the 3X3=9(Shabbatai/saturn) plus the 9X9=81(levanah/moon) together. Our "new heaven" then actually now has four levels. The study of the new numbers from joining these kameas gives us the key as to why we have a new Sacred Earth.
We are finishing leyning the book of Shemot/Exodus called the Sepher geulah/redemption as we move into the month we celebrate geulah.
Good Shabbos chazak

The day "shortens" on Sabbath Purim!

2010-03-03T05:24:00.000-08:00

One of the strongest "Earth Thunders" shook the Earth and changed time as we know it on the Sabbath full moon of Adar. This earthquake changed time. Remember the King in the Purim story is Acharit and Reshit Achasv-rosh the endings and beginnings, the "ruler" of time which is manifested on the left column of the traditional Tree of the depths/Omakim(sephirot). In this forty year time wave that began in 5750/1990 we are living each moment of a global awakening and events such as this Purim quake are a wake-up call to those still asleep in the "dust". The parsha tezaveh of the week of Purim hints at the time that we entered the global enlivening of the metim/sleepers since there are 101 posukim in the parsha and this is the value of the hidden letters in Moshe Rabbeinu's name. His revealed name is not mentioned in the parsha but the Hebrew letters are spelled with other letters so Mem-Shin-Heh=Moshe is Mem-mem;Shin-yod-nun;Heh-aleph and the letters "hidden" are mem-yod-nun-aleph which by gematria equals 101(the value of Mikael also Moshe's guardian). The date however that the ressurection of the metim/dead began is kept in this hidden name. M-aleph-yod-nun= "from ain" from the endless everything; also has a different value when the nun=50 counts as a final nun it equals 700 and gives us the value 751. This year 5-751 began a new era and the techiyas Hametim; the global awakening began. More details on this will come in the coming times in this blog. This as previously mentioned is also recored 751- in one of the last posukim in Shir HaShirim in the name Baal Hamon. the possesor=Baal of Hamon whose gematria value = 751. The author of the Holiest of Songs knew the precise time and this sentence is also recorded in all copies of The Tikkun Lail Shavuoth! The hidden value of Tezaveh = 101 and 751 gives us the precise epoch for the beginning of the third temple times.
Baruch HaShem and happy Adar!!!

The Mishkan, the Wheel/ Saturn and Mars for Purim

2010-02-21T07:29:00.000-08:00

The Rashbi gives us the wheel of the elements, directions and metals(see the picture). There are some essentials parts of this wheel we must understand to unite the holy polarities of this creation, the yom vlailah, day and night. We must understand what is in the center of the wheel and add one more set of FIVE - four around the circumference and one in the center. This is the wheel of the Tikkun, the repair of the creation that we are experiencing in our times. The Torah parshot we read now are that of the elements that make up the miskhan/sanctuary and the garments of the High priest. These all relate to the wheel which we may use to find the CENTER of it all. Remember the four continuum worldview of space-time and life that just happens does not define or allow for a CENTER. The worldview of the mekubalim is oriented around the CENTER of it all.
We see on the outside of the wheel of the Rashbi are the directions and so the center of these is the CENTER. The next wheel of four are the elements of the ancients which modern physicists now call the four fundamental forces: Strong nuclear force(water), weak nuclear force(air), electro-magnetism(fire) and gravity(earth). These are the causal level of the four “elements” of the ancients. The center of this wheel is soul/being. The inner most wheel of the Rashbi is the four metals, iron, gold, copper, silver. The center is another kind of “gold” revealed in the “sepher Aish Mezareph” which delineates seven kinds of gold. This all gives us a total of fifteen, the value of the kamea of Shabbatai(3X3) in rows and the oldest name of HaShem-Yod-Heh=15.
If we study the medicine wheels of the ancient American natives we find they used a wheel of twenty ‘elements” called the twenty count which is covered extensively in the writings of Hyemeyohsts Storm, the Cheyenne shield maker. We could add the Five levels of Soul of the mekubalim:Nephesh,Ruach,Neshamah,Chayah,and Yechidah(center unity) to our Hebrew wheel to bring the count to twenty. These levels of soul also correspond to the five human senses. If we want to include the special “colors” and “crystals” that the Torah lists in Terumah as part of the Mishkan. we may even go to a full 25 count wheel which gives us the number of boxes of the Kamea of Meadim(5X5 picture above with 13=echad in the center) and the number of letters in the Shema. The Rashbi in Zohar terumah says the 25 letters of the Shema are the 13 parts of the Mishkan plus the 12 stones on the Choshen=25. It is ALL about the CENTER. We have there in the center a “direction”, a “metal”, an “element”, and a “soul” and a “crystal”. We have the Mishkan in Earth. Baruch HaShem and Happy Adar” The month of Purim is here!
The seven handmaidens of Esther(Sacred Earth) as mentioned in chapter two of the Megillah are related to the seven planetary spheres of the ancient mekubalim and astrologers. Rabbi Gershon Winkler mentions this amazing fact in his latest radio interview. These planetary “chiefs” are doing some amazing dancing as we move to and through the days of Purim. Saturn/Shabbatai and Mars/Meadim, mentioned above; are in exact sextile(Mogen David division of the circle) and stay there for these weeks! This is very unusual. They are in the mazzal of the scales and the lion..
Happy Adar!

Daniel's 45 "days"/ Terumah and the Mayan calendar

2010-02-14T07:06:00.000-08:00

We are now half way into the forty year period called the “ingathering of exiles’ that began in 5750 as related in Sepher haZohar.Elders in the wisdom tradition are finding their personal places of initiation into this Temple-school of initiation we call the olamim/universes. This weeks Torah parsha Terumah covers the details of the ancient Hebrew Mishkan/sanctuary and the Zohar on this portion is very profound and filled with important information for the specific period of time we entered in 5750/1990. This involves the reemergence of the Temple vessels, the kedoshim/holies, and their importance in bringing about this emerging new Eretz olam/Earth world. As related in previous posts there is an astounding synchronicity between the dates that the Mayan scholars presume a new great cycle or “sun” is about to begin and the Hebrew prophetic tradition and work. It is the informed opinion of this writer that the “new cycle”, the “sixth sun” called Sun “Flower” in Mayan wisdom, has already begun and the dates that are being popularized for the “end” of the Mayan cycle and the new beginning are when a greater portion of the global population will experience or come to be aware of what has already begun in 5750/51. One scholar has calculated the date October 28, 2011 and this corresponds to Tishrei 5772. This date which is only some twenty months from now has both important personal meaning and a larger Jewish significance. The year 5772 is Forty five years from the year 5727 which saw the socio-political reunification of the old city of Yerushaliyim. It is also forty five years from when this writer personally understands from informed knowledge that a particular Temple Vessel became revealed to the people destined to bring it to fruition which began the process of geulah in 5750. The FORTY FIVE days/years will be recognized by mekubalim for it is the time period hinted at in the end of the Sepher Daniel that would have a unique importance to the revealing of the Temple mysteries in our times, the keitz Yomim, the “consummation of days”. The entire Earth is awakening as a new flower opens.
Happy Rosh Chodesh Adar!!

Etz Chaiim/ tree of Souls and the merkava

2010-02-07T08:05:00.000-08:00

The key to finding the seat of the merkava hakodesh/holy chariot is depicted in the mysteries of the upcoming holiday feast of Purim.The seven handmaidens of the Earth Shechinah, the mystery Esther who is the queen of the acharis and reshith=achashve-rosh(name of the Persian king) the beginnings and endings of all that is have us look to the sky of the solar system and the seven planetary “candlesticks”. The initiate mekubal/kabbalist achieves the impossible and seats himself on the red winged sky serpent as in the new blockbuster movie. The Baal Shem Tov in his final words predicted that the geulah would take hold of the entire olam when his teachings of the Etz Chaiim spread around the world. The best selling movie of all time not only contains the teachings of the sacred Tree of Living souls it also depicts the initiate of the Name taking the seat of the very secret merkava teachings and healing his world.
In the aboriginal Hopi Indian prophecy of America the elders foresaw that three powers with their appropriate symbols would come into play in the years that see the global purification. The last of these would be the color red, the argaman of the teachings of Torah and Shir haShrim and the planetary handmaiden of Meadim. This star is the true peacemaker morning star of the Skiddi Pawnee teachings. This star keeps the levanah/moon Shechinah warm according to the aggadah/legends.

Avatar and the Shaar haNun of the Holy Tree

2010-01-31T16:10:00.000-08:00

The fiftieth gate of Kedusha, The Shaar HaNun, is the most comprehensive stage of initiation for a mekubal/kabbalist. It roughly corresponds to what the ancient Sanskrit language would call an avatar initiate. The staged drama fantasy in the theatres by this name, Avatar, reflects the global transition we are experiencing. The protagonist fully becomes conscious of the divine after mastering the supreme red dragon creature and saving the kingdom of the Holy Soul Tree. He prays to the Holy Shechinah/Divine mother- Aiwa(a way of “pronouncing” the Name!)and she answers him with help and protection. In fact she protects him from the beginning of his adventure in the land Pandora. The people of this land are called the Navi and indeed the Earth has entered a new period of prophecy called navi in Hebrew. We too pray to the Divine One that the calamities and woes of a healed world struggling to be truly born will cease as in the quote from the sepher of 2Baruch in the last post. The Tree, the Etz Chaiim is on the big screen folks so this is another miracle to celebrate. As a theme of this blog, this film is another reflection of the transition of Olam haZeh, this world, into a humanity holding a fully integrated five-continuum world view. This is a world conscious of our interrelationship with the fifth continuum as a vast and beautiful dimension of oceanic being/soul. We are here in the shanah/wheel of the year that honors the roots of the Holy Tree of TuB'Shevat and parsha Beshalach. Here is the heart of Torah with the song of the sea, the origin place of the 72 names and Mosheh Rabbeinu with his very hand on the sacred ceso/throne. Baruch haShem!

2Baruch/the keitz/ the end of the Times of Calamities/Woes

2010-01-22T11:08:00.000-08:00

2 Baruch is a Jewish pseudepigraphical text thought to have been written in the late first century CE or early second century CE, after the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. It is attributed to the Biblical Baruch and so is associated with the Old Testament, but not regarded as scripture by Jews or by most Christian groups. It is included in some editions of the Peshitta. It has 87 sections.(from wikipedia)
Below is a section from the scripture 2Baruch about the Keitz yomim, the consummation of times and it matches closely with the twelve years on Earth since the bright passage of the kochav/comet Hale-Bopp (and the 5757-birth of the red heifer in Judea)which left the inner solar system in 5758/1998 and had appeared last time during the life of Noach and the generation of the mabul/flood in 2200BCE.

From 2Baruch:
"25—26. Sign of the coming Judgment

25 1 And He answered and said unto me: 'You too shall be preserved till that time till that sign which the Most High will work for the inhabitants of the earth in the end of days. 2 This therefore shall be the sign. 3 When a stupor shall seize the inhabitants of the earth, and they shall fall into many tribulations, and again when they shall fall into great torments. And it will come to pass when they say in their thoughts by reason of their much tribulation: "The Mighty 'One doth no longer remember the earth"—yes, it will come to pass when they abandon hope, that the time will then awake.'

26 1 And I answered and said: 'Will that tribulation which is to be continue a long time, and will that necessity embrace many years?'

26-30. The Twelve Woes that are to Come upon the Earth:

27 1 And He answered and said unto me: 'Into twelve parts is that time divided, and each one of them is reserved for that which is appointed for it. 2 In the first part there shall be the beginning of commotions. 3 And in the second part (there shall be) slayings of the great ones. 4 And in the third part the fall of many by death. 5 And in the fourth part the sending of the sword. 6 And in the fifth part famine and the withholding of rain. 7 And in the sixth part earthquakes and terrors. 8 [Wanting.] 9 And in the eighth part a multitude of specters and attacks of the Shedim. 10 And in the ninth part the fall of fire. 11 And in the tenth part rapine and much oppression. 12 And in the eleventh part wickedness and unchastity. 13 And in the twelfth part confusion from the mingling together of all those things aforesaid. 14 For these parts of that time are reserved, and shall be mingled one with another and minister one to another. 15 For some shall leave out some of their own, and receive (in its stead) from others, and some complete their own and that of others, so that those may not understand who are upon the earth in those days that this is the consummation of the times."

If indeed the twelve part time of woes where various disasters ripple through the world are to last for twelve years and they began with the departing of one of the “swords” of Kerubim as comet Hale-Bopp then we are right now at the end of this transition period into the time of global awakening.

HaTesha The Nine turbulent rivers(5-770 Heh-tav-shin-ayin)

2010-01-17T07:45:00.001-08:00

From the Sepher haZohar for this weeks Torah parsha Bo:
“The great dragon reposes between nine rivers, the waters of which are turbulent; and there is a tenth river whose waters are calm, and into the depth of which the blessings of the waters of Paradise descend three times a year. Into this river the dragon enters, making there his habitation; and thence he sallies forth and swims down to the sea, and devours there fish of all kinds, and then returns again to the river. The nine swift rivers are banked by trees and fringed with flowers. The parent river issued from the left side(desire) and from it three drops fell into a certain channel, and each of the three was divided again into three, and every drop became a river. These are the nine rivers which flow through all the firmaments. And from the final moisture that remained when all the drops had issued forth yet another drop was formed, which issued gently, and of this drop was formed the tenth river, which flows calmly. Into this river also flows a drop from the blessings poured forth from the right side by the “perennially flowing stream”, and it is greater than all the rest.”(Zohar II34b-trans after Sperling)
We ask that the blessings of the eternal river of life flow to all those suffering due to the turbulence of olam hazeh, and in need, and in need of refuah sheleimah/healing.

Where is the Geulah? Finding the Center of all that Is

2010-01-10T13:44:00.001-08:00

This weeks Zohar commentary of the Torah parsha Vaera contains a profound mystery. The four winds(directions),elements and metals are discussed as if in a wheel that generates the entire physical creation. The picture above is from The Sepher Eshel Abraham. It shows the four corners of the wheel with the twelve qualities that the sepher haZohar equates to the twelve tribes of Yisrael. We can not help but being aware of the center of the wheel, the thirteenth, which is the gematria value of the word Echad=one. The physical universe however does not contain a perfect circle or sphere anywhere and so the four continuum worldview posits that there is no center to the physical universe. Because of this prevalent worldview of the space-time continuum many people have no center to orient to and are in an illusory exile. The five continuum worldview of the wisdom tradition which is stated clearly in the small Sepher Yetzirah has a center. When a person internalizes a worldview that has the center then they become a stone in the temple so to speak that brings this Center into visibility in our world.
‘The first four elements have a deep significance for the faithful: they are the progenitors of all worlds, and symbolize the supernal chariot of Holiness. Also the four elements of fire, air, earth, and water have a deep significance. From them come gold,silver,copper, and iron, and beneath these other metals of a like kind. Mark well this! Fire, air, Earth, and water are the sources and roots of all things above and below, and on them are all things grounded. And in each of the four winds these elements are found-fire in the North, air in the east, water in the South, earth in the West; and the four elements are united with the four winds-and all are one. Fire, water, air, and earth: gold, silver, copper, and iron; north, south, east, and west-these make together twelve; yet they are all one.” Zohar II-23b(trans after Sperling).
If we add the four letters of the sacred Name to each direction which we are told in Zohar correspond to the senses of seeing, hearing, smelling and tasting then our wheel has the sixteen faces and qualities as Ezekiel saw manifested by the four faced Chayoth of the Merkava/Chariot. The world is only in a crisis at this time as much as folks are moving from a flat earth(four continuums/dimensions) worldview to the full five continuum worldview of the Sepher Yetzirah which has a center of the Shalom Shalem/complete Peace. Those finding the center find their Geulah/redemption!
Shalom

Sefer Shemot and recovering the Temple vessels

2010-01-03T10:28:00.000-08:00

This week we leyn the parsha Shemot of the book of the geulah, the beginning of the story of Moseh Rabbeinu. Below are two excerpts from the aggadah/legends as retold by Louis Ginzberg. They hold a mystery that explains part of the need to be in mitzrayim/Egypt for according to the second story about the Scepter of Moses it was brought into Egypt by Jacob and therefore needed to be recovered by Moses. This scepter however is actually just a different form of the original holy sapphire Book given to the first Adam by the angel Raziel as detailed in the first story below. Each of these sacred items is given a descent through special individuals according to the legend and this also parallels the sacred kabbalah herself. The Sepher haZohar fills us in in the connections where in the commentary on terumah as stated in previous posts is the connection between the jewels and gold on the Choshen/breatplate of Aaron and the tail of certain kochavim/comets.
"and precious stones and fine gold, which forms within the breast of high mountains(breastplate), and under shallow water-which are ruled by those comets by whose influence they grow and increase"(Zohar II-171b-trans after Sperling).
The scepter of Mosheh is also said in Zohar to have two uses. One was to call in the 72 sarim/angel governors(In parsha Beshalach) and part the red sea and the other use is only hinted at. This use is as an interface with the celestials/angels and the humans by way of sacred kochav/comet as we read about here in Zohar. We have two pictures above, one of a hieroglyph from ancient Egypt showing the helical(serpent spiral) form of the scepters held by the Egyptian guardian of wisdom-Thoth(from the book "Egyptian Mysteries" by Lamy,Crossroad Pub.). The other picture is of a real form of the scepter with a crystal knob of the same gem substance(olivine) now recently discovered to be found in comets themselves(and on the Choshen/breatplate)!

"The identification of crystalline olivine in cometary silicates
Campins, H.; Ryan, E. V. Astrophysical Journal, Part 1 (ISSN 0004-637X), vol. 341, June 15, 1989, p. 1059-1066. Research supported by NASA and NSF.
An intermediate-resolution spectrum of the 8-13 micron region in comet Halley is obtained which shows a prominent silicate emission feature with structure not observed before in other comets or in interstellar silicates. The presence of a strong 11.3 micron peak reported by Bregman and coworkers is confirmed, and evidence is found for additional structure in the band. By comparison with spectra of interplanetary dust particles and laboratory silicates, it is concluded that small crystalline olivine particles are a major component of the silicates in this comet; other silicates (e.g., amorphous or hydrated) must also be present. The identification of crystalline olivine in this part of the spectrum is supported by the observation of four peaks in 20-50 micron airborne spectra of this comet which have also been attributed to olivine."

So science has now confirmed the connection between a crystal gem in the breastplate of Aaron and certain comets.

From the legends/aggadah about the “Holy Book”:
“Upon the death of Adam, the holy book disappeared, but later the cave in which it was hidden was revealed to Enoch in a dream. It was from this book that Enoch drew his knowledge of nature, of the earth and of the heavens, and he became so wise through it that his wisdom exceeded the wisdom of Adam. Once he had committed it to memory, Enoch hid the book again.
Now, when God resolved upon bringing the flood on the earth, He sent the archangel Raphael to Noah, as the bearer of the following message: "I give thee herewith the holy book, that all the secrets and mysteries written therein may be made manifest unto thee, and that thou mayest know how to fulfil its injunction in holiness, purity, modesty, and humbleness. Thou wilt learn from it how to build an ark of the wood of the gopher tree, wherein thou, and thy sons, and thy wife shall find protection."
Noah took the book, and when he studied it, the holy spirit came upon him, and he knew all things needful for the building of the ark and the gathering together of the animals. The book, which was made of sapphires, he took with him into the ark, having first enclosed it in a golden casket. All the time he spent in the ark it served him as a time-piece, to distinguish night from day. Before his death, he entrusted it to Shem, and he in turn to Abraham. From Abraham it descended through Jacob, Levi, Moses, and Joshua to Solomon, who learnt all his wisdom from it, and his skill in the healing art, and also his mastery over the demons.
Second story from the legends about the Scepter of Moses:
“One of the seven maidens whom Moses saw at the well attracted his notice in particular on account of her modest demeanor, and he made her a proposal of marriage. But Zipporah repulsed him, saying, "My father has a tree in his garden with which he tests every man that expresses a desire to marry one of his daughters, and as soon as the suitor touches the tree, he is devoured by it."
Moses: "Whence has he the tree?"
Zipporah: "It is the rod that the Holy One, blessed be He, created in the twilight of the first Sabbath eve, and gave to Adam. He transmitted it to Enoch, from him it descended to Noah, then to Shem, and Abraham, and Isaac, and finally to Jacob, who brought it with him to Egypt, and gave it to his son Joseph. When Joseph died, the Egyptians pillaged his house, and the rod, which was in their booty, they brought to Pharaoh's palace. At that time my father was one of the most prominent of the king's sacred scribes, and as such he had the opportunity of seeing the rod. He felt a great desire to possess it, and he stole it and took it to his house. On this rod the Ineffable Name is graven, and also the ten plagues that God will cause to visit the Egyptians in a future day. For many years it lay in my father's house. One day he was walking in his garden carrying it, and he stuck it in the ground. When he attempted to draw it out again, he found that it had sprouted, and was putting forth blossoms. That is the rod with which he tries any that desire to marry his daughters. He insists that our suitors shall attempt to pull it out of the ground, but as soon as they touch it, it devours them."
Having given him this account of her father's rod, Zipporah went home, accompanied by her sisters, and Moses followed them.
Jethro was not a little amazed to see his daughters return so soon from the watering troughs. As a rule, the chicanery they had to suffer from the shepherds detained them until late. No sooner had he heard their report about the wonder-working Egyptian than he exclaimed, "Mayhap he is one of the descendants of Abraham, from whom issueth blessing for the whole world." He rebuked his daughters for not having invited the stranger that had done them so valuable a service to come into their house, and he ordered them to fetch him, in the hope that he would take one of his daughters to wife.
Moses had been standing without all this time, and had allowed Jethro's daughters to describe him as an Egyptian, without protesting and asserting his Hebrew birth. For this God punished him by causing him to die outside of the promised land. Joseph, who had proclaimed in public that he was a Hebrew, found his last resting-place in the land of the Hebrews, and Moses, who apparently had no objection to being considered an Egyptian, had to live and die outside of that land.
Zipporah hastened forth to execute her father's wish, and no sooner had she ushered him in than Moses requested her hand in marriage. Jethro replied, "If thou canst bring me the rod in my garden, I will give her to thee." Moses went out, found the sapphire rod that God had bestowed upon Adam when he was driven forth from Paradise, the rod that had reached Jethro after manifold vicissitudes, and which he had planted in the garden. Moses uprooted it and carried it to Jethro, who conceived the idea at once that he was the prophet in Israel concerning whom all the wise men of Egypt had foretold that he would destroy their land and its inhabitants.

The Rabbinic sages have told us in the Talmudic and other writings that the technology of the Temple would return with the third temple and the geulah/redemption, which all has begun simultaneously along with the kibbutz golios and the techiyas Hametim, the enlivening of the dead. Baruch HaShem

The covenant of the Maya?/and Abraham Avinu

2009-12-30T11:42:00.000-08:00

The man who posted questions concerning the Maya relationship to the Hebrew wisdom tradition has some good points. Thank You, Vincent. Only part of the story is known about the indigenous Native Americans because of the crash of imperialism upon their cultures and teachings as well as the vast destruction of elders, codices and artifacts. The sacred calendar of 260 days called the Tzolkin is one of the few incredible achievements that has survived and this calendar when linked with the basic solar calendar is the core of their prophectic tradition so popular right now. I do believe I have found the connection between the Tzolkin and the Hebrew Kameas for the days and planets as mentioned in the last post. These people also had a culture hero and “lawgiver”, know doubt who had the neshama/soul root of their language group and taught against blood sacrifice and interestingly he introduced a form of ceremonial bloodletting from the male foreskin within the priestly lines. See the photograph above from the national geographic about the cave paintings of the maya recently discovered. Pictured ia a Mayan priest initiate circumcising himself! The man pictured crosslegged also on the wall is sitting in front of a nautilus seashell displaying the spiral of the Fibonacci series which connects this scene to the teachings of the Sepher Yetzira. This kabbalistic text speaks of the golden mean(Fibonacci series spiral) in the same chapter that it tells us Abraham Avinu studied the deep math of kabbalah and then “cut” the covenant between his toes(Brit Milah) and established the covenant of the tongue which is Kabbalah.
The meso-American culture hero who brought the more correct teachings and replaced the lethal blood sacrifice with the non-lethal use of blood in prayer was called Kulkucan by the Maya and Quetzalcoatl by the Aztec. This name means precious twin or featherd serpent and connects him to the Seraphim of the mekubalim. Tradition holds that he left teachings that warned the Aztec kings that if they do not end blood sacrifice then he would return from the east in the guise of his brother “Tezcatlipoca” and destroy the meso-american culture in the 1500’s ce. Montezuma, king of the Aztecs in 1519, knew this and therefore was expecting the great destruction of his people and Kingdom. You can study about these stories if interested. Read Tony Shearer’s incredible books. He makes the point that the Aztec calendar is only 28 years different from the Hebrew calendar in marking time. The Aztec calendar cycle ended on August 16th, 1987 - their year then being 5720 while the Jewish calendar just entered the year 5748 a few weeks later. This 28 years is one cycle of the planet Shabbatai/Saturn associated with the kamea of nine discussed in the last post and the planet associated with the Aztec deity called Tezcatlipoca, one of the special Twin brother heroes of the meso-american cosmology. When we see the picture of the guy in the cave performing his own priestly covenant, the prophecy from the Mayan book Chilam Balam takes on a knew meaning as to what the sign that the returning bearded white priests from the east would “carry”.
“Receive your guests, the bearded men, the men of the east, the bearers of the sign of God, lord.” page 168 from “The Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel”(written in the 1400’s ce) Univ. of Okhlahoma Press 1967.
This week we finish the Sepher Bereishit and prepare for the Book of Shemot called the book of the Geulah. This full blue moon eclipse(Tevet15) on the eve of the Secular New Year holds the light of the geulah for those who see.

Kabbalah/wheel of time/gilgul and Mayan Tzolkin

2009-12-27T07:42:00.000-08:00

A basic study of Kabbalah using the Sepher Yetzirah and the kamea/number grids of the weekly wheel will reveal the connection of the Mayan Calendar and the mekubalim. This is very important with all the false teachings and rumors out there. Above is the picture of the weekly sacred Hebrew wheel with the corresponding Kameas, the number letter boxes and associations. To understand one basic link with the Mayan sacred calendar called the Tzolkin we only need to first look at two basic Days and kameas. Each magic box has a number of smaller squares. The keynote number of each box is the number of small boxes plus the number of unity standing for the whole square. So the Kamea of Shabbatai/Saturn is 9 small boxes plus one which equals Ten. This kamea does equate with the basic holy Tree of the ten sephirot and the Sabbath day. When we look at the Kamea of meadim/Mars we see twentyfive small squares plus one which equals twentysix. This is the keynote number power of the kamea of meadim. Mekubalim will immediately recognize the 26 value as the gematria value of the name YHVH, the most holy name we call HaShem - the Name. When we multiply the value of the Kamea of meadim - 26 with the key number of the kamea of Shabbatai-10, we get 26X10=260. The 260 are the number of days in the Tzolkin - the sacred ceremonial calendar of the ancient Maya. We in a sense have joined Earth as temple(Shabbatai); and Sky as Heaven(Meadim), together to reveal the 260. This is one reason why the Maya used this very special count of days. We know that the value of each column in the kamea of shabbatai is equal to fifteen-Yah(Yod-heh), the most ancient name of deity for the Hebrews. Each column of the kamea of meadim equals = 65 which is the gematria value of Adonai-(Alef-daleth-nun-yod), the name that is YHVH in holy Earth, the name we say in prayer in place of the unpronouncable YHVH. the mekubalim will understand now why the Maya used the Tzolkin calendar and why they were able to predict the coming of the white bearded priests(Hebrews) to America from over the eastern ocean. In their sacred book "Chilam Balam" they prophesied these ancient priests to come and introduce the deity called Itzamna to the entire world. This is a name for the Mayan supreme divine One. Notice it contains the word Itz=tree in Hebrew and Amna=faith! We have found our relatives here in America!
" There was the word of the true God in the land. You shall await the coming forth, lord, of his priests who will bring it in time to come...On the day 13 Ahau the katun(cycle) will end in the time of the Itza...There is the sign of Hunab-ku on high... There has been a beginning of strife, there has been a beginning of rivalry, when the priestly man shall come to bring the sign of God in time to come, lord. ...A new day shall dawn in the north, in the west(from Yucatan-Mexico)Itzamna Kauil shall rise. our lord comes, Itza. Our elder brother comes, men of Tantum. Receive your guests, the bearded men, the men of the east, the bearers of the sign of god, lord. Good indeed is the word of God that comes to us. The day of our regeneration comes.... The first Tree of the world is restored, it is displayed to the world."From "The Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel" University of Oklahoma Press 1967
This reflects only a very beginning study of the kameas, the days of the week and the sacred calendars. Enlarge and continue a look at the sacred seven day week and the Kameas. It is a bright mirror!

Full Moon of Tevet=Light of geulah/redemption

2009-12-23T09:24:00.001-08:00

Here we are at the turning point in the year between the leyning of the Sepher Bereishis and the Sepher Shemot. We are approaching the full moon of the Hebrew month of Tevet in the deep choseych/darkness of the winter. This month of Tevet is given the letter ayin by the author of the Sepher Yetzira. This letter has the value of seventy(the sacred eye/fount) and these final parshot of Bereishis speak of the going down of the 70 souls(root-sparks) into exile in mitzrayim. Remember this year of 770 contains the root word of ayin=ayin-nun). Our work has been to bring the light into the depths of darkness and allow for an unfolding initiation of the individual and the collective relationship to HaShem It is the people ourselves who are as the levanah/moon and illuminate the night and we walk the oral torah and bring it to the entire globe. The week of the full moon of Tevet we read the parsha Shemot or the last parsha of Bereishis which leads to the beginning of the book of geulah/redemption and the making of a holy people. This is the illumination of the moon of Tevet. Tevet has traditionally been a month of suffering great calamities, the seige of Jerusalem by the Babylonians(tevet10), the death of the Navi Ezra(Tevet9) and the translation of Torah by the Greeks into the “70 languages”(Tevet8). This month holds the deep darkness that needed to be illumined. It kept great secrets hidden until the proper times. Aggadah/legends tell us that the moon is kept warm by Meadim and in the previous post was the explanation of how meadim/mars in the sepher Yetzirah has the letter gimmel, the quality of wealth, the color red and contains the word Adam in it’s Hebrew name. The understanding of this is the key to chockmah/wisdom for the value of gimel is equal to the value of wisdom=73. We needed the prayer form of Christianity and it’s Roman solar calendar to bring into the line of the priestly peoples, the Sar of Rome who is a chief of the celestials called the seraphim, the winged thunders by the native Americans. This way we have transformed the “lower” mem in the name samael(sar of Rome)into the mem of the upper waters(mayim), and left the letters Samech-aleph-lammed=Sael who is one of the 72 celestials of the world Yetzirah. This name Sael is the only three letter name of the Holy Shemamphores(name of 72) that is by itself an angelic name(no ending needs to be added to it). This transformation was the need for the four exiles, and the exile of Edom and the rise of the Christian story in the world. But hidden within the Christian story which did lead to much suffering in one way for the Jews was the light of the wealth of wisdom, the giftbringer in the red cloak, meadim/mars, who warms grandmother moon which lights the dark of the night. This form of the red morning star is called by the native American Skiddi Pawnee, the true peacemaker star. For in the world of Beriyah/throne the wealthy red Sar/chief is one of the holy sephirot called Kamael(Kaph-mem-aleph-lamed) whose name by the way equals in gematria the name Sael(91) which also has the value of AMEN(91) which by the way is the name of the one true hidden deity of the few righteous priests of ancient Mitzrayim! The root of the name Kamael=kem is an ancient name for the black earth of mitzrayim. The priests of mitzrayim had some very important wisdom to impart to Moshe Rabbeinu as the Torah tells us was versed in all the wisdom of Egypt. They had been made guardians of the technology that is used to unite the soul sparks and join sky to earth, Shamayim to Aretz. The Zohar tells us that the light in certain kochavim/comets(swords of the kerubim) is connected to certain gems and gold on the breast of high mountains(High priest). “In the book of the higher Wisdom of the East,it says, speaking of certain stars which form a tail(sceptre) in the firmament, that on the Earth there are herbs, of the kind that are called “elixirs of life” and precious stones, and fine gold, which forms within the breast of high mountains(breastplate-choshen), under shallow water-which are ruled by those comets by whose influence they grow and increase; it is the glance of that luminous tail which such stars trail after them across the sky that causes these things to flourish.”(Zohar II-171b-trans.after Sperling) This technology reappears in the technology of the mishkan and The seed of geulah is born now both historically and in the gilgul/wheel of the year. Moshe and Aaron have a new form of the sacred scepter that unites sky and Earth. This full moon of Tevet does contain the light of all the full moons including the next one we call TuB’Shevat and the holiday of the Tree of the mekubalim/kabbalists. Shlomo HaMelech tells us that the guardian of the Tree/Vine is Baal Hamon, the deity of plenty/wealth(eleph ceseph), the same one who warms the Levanah/Moon.


יא כֶּרֶם הָיָה לִשְׁלֹמֹה בְּבַעַל הָמוֹן, נָתַן אֶת-הַכֶּרֶם לַנֹּטְרִים: אִישׁ יָבִא בְּפִרְיוֹ, אֶלֶף כָּסֶף.	11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he gave over the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof brought in a thousand pieces of silver.

A Hebrew - English Bible

According to the Masoretic Text

and the JPS 1917 Edition

The form of the mateh/staff of Aaron is buried deep in the dark soil of mitzrayim and the remez/hint is in Bereishis 49:5 (mem-tet-heh=mateh/staff and 40-9-5)which blessings in the exile of Egypt end the book of Bereishis and set the stage for the geulah. This mateh connects heaven and Earth as hinted at in Zohar and is under the rulership of the Baal of precious wealth. The reappearance of this sacred mateh/scepter at this time was prophecied in Talmud/aggadah and changes the actual placement where the third temple meets the physical geographically. The golden menorah of dedication of the third holy temple lights the present full moon.
Good Shabbos

Meadim/Mars in the Lion/the NINTH day of Chanukah?

2009-12-19T17:03:00.000-08:00

Today the red planet Meadim/Mars is staionary retrograde in the mazal of the Aryeh/Lion. It will remain in the Aryeh for an unusually long period of several months.
WE have entered the days of the third temple and there are traditions that have predicted that the festival of dedication would increase at this time. The decade whose date means The Nine-the 5770’s(HaTesha=5770) seems to be quite appropriate for adding a ninth day to the festival. The numbers are right for this. Nine more lights make 45 without the shameshim. This moves the number from 36 to 45. 45 is the value of the name Adam and the full value of the kamea square of Shabbatai/Saturn and the Sabbath(picture above). The value of the numbers from one to nine is =45.If we include the count of the shameshim we move from 44 to 54 and 54 are the number of the parshot in holy Torah! This means that the holiday of oral Torah(Chanukah) which comes three months after Rosh Hoshanah(Rabbinic new year) equals up with the holiday of Written Torah(Shavuoth) which comes three months after the ancient new year of kings in Nisan. With the times of the third temple encompassing the entire Earth we have oral Torah of all history catching up to the written Torah of Har Sinai - 54 candles equals 54 Parshot. This ninth day occurs on Yom Rishon(Sunday) which as previously discussed is actually now Yom Echad as the yom/day was first called in Sepher Bereishis where the night and day were a fully embraced unity before the actual descent and separation of the olam into the physical reality. The ninth day of dedication also parallels the ninth day of Simchat Torah, the written torah of the feast of Succot. In the full ten lights of this ninth day of dedication the Shamash actually comes to represent the Shemesh, the sun, and the nine candles the planetary bodies around the sun. The numbers are all right now. The full ten candles are the ten sephirot of the mekubalim who are all being felt at this time. This nine also turns the nine of Av into joy since it acknowledges the light of the beis haMikdash HaShleishi whose Ner tamid is lighting up the living rooms of people everywhere. This year the ninth day would be today, Sunday which also in a sense brings the light into the Yom echad which is the bringing in of the month of Tevet into Yisrael. The festival of the days of choseych brings the light from the latter days of kislev into the first days of Tevet which is traditionally the month “belonging” to the religion of Christianity and is rooted in the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia. The ninth day then celebrates the shamash becoming the Shemesh(sun) of Yom rishon(Sunday-Sabbath of Christianity) in the deep winter month of Tevet which was when the Babylonians first laid seige to Jerusalem and the first Temple. Another awesome connection that the mekubalim who are versed in the knowledge of the seven kameas/number grids will understand. The jolly gift bringer of Christianity is actually aligned fully with one of the seven day Sarim/governors and an ancient pagan deity. This is none other than the Baal of Wealth/Hamon mentioned in the last verses of Solomon’s holiest Song, Shir HaShirim. He is the keeper-guardian of the vine of Solomon. Only the wise Christians versed in their gnostic tradition will have any idea of the profundity of this santa and who he really is as the Red sar/chief of meadim/Tuesday. Study the grid of Mars/5X5-25 squares for the twentyfive letters of the shema proclaim the unity of the days and nights. The sepher yetzirah delineates the qualities of the Days and their Sarim/governors and herein lies a very big secret. Meadim/Yom Shleishi and the letter-gimmel rules Wealth. The gimmel on the dreidel wins it all and means-Gadol! The gematria of the word gimmel=73 which is the value of Chockmah. It has always been the function of Yisrael to bring the light into the Choseych and bring the 54 bright parshot of the Torah of Har Sinai to the entire olam/world. The other big religions have played crucial roles in joining the soul roots and making the oral torah complete to bring the shalom Shalem.
Happy Yom Echad! today

Qumran,Mayan Calendar/ The secret timing in the Song of Songs

2009-12-12T16:47:00.000-08:00

The Sepher haZohar tells us that the holiest of the writings, Solomon’s song, carries a summary of the entire history of Israel including the final jubilee/Yovel.
“On the day this hymn was revealed, and Solomon sang in the power of the Ruach HaKodesh this song wherein is to be found the summary of the whole Torah…It contains the crowning of the Holy Name with love and joy, the prophecy of Israel’s exile among the nations, of their redemption, of the resurrection of the dead, and of all else until that Day which is “Sabbath to the Lord”. All that was, is and shall be, is contained in it; and, indeed, even that which will take place on the “seventh Day”, which will be the “Lord’s Sabbath”, is indicated in this song.“(Zohar II-144a-trans. After Sperling)If we take the hint from Zohar and count each of the 117 verses in Shir haShirim as a jubilee of 50 years it means that we finished the 115 verses in 5750(115X50=5750) and have entered the 116th verse which has the remez/hint to a shout from the heavens.


יג הַיּוֹשֶׁבֶת בַּגַּנִּים, חֲבֵרִים מַקְשִׁיבִים לְקוֹלֵךְ--הַשְׁמִיעִנִי.	13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken for thy voice: 'Cause me to hear it.'

The 117th verse has the word Tzvi/gazelle which by atbash code holds the name Moshe.(Tzadde=heh-beth=shin-yod=mem)


יד בְּרַח דּוֹדִי, וּדְמֵה-לְךָ לִצְבִי אוֹ לְעֹפֶר הָאַיָּלִים--עַל, הָרֵי בְשָׂמִים. {ש}	14 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a gazelle or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices. {P}

In the Native American prophetic wisdom tradition two beings called Sweet Medicine and White Calf woman hold the soul roots of the Neshama and the Chayah level respectively, of the being world. They are like the Moses and Miriam of the ancient Hebrews. Sweet Medicine is called the Spirit of the animals(animal soul root- and horned with qeren ), and White Calf Woman, the spirit of the plants and the well of wisdom(like Miriam). On the circular native medicine wheel the spirit of the animals is in the north(gold and Hanukkah,oral Torah-Moses) and the spirit of the plants is in the south(silver-Shavuoth-written Torah-Miriam). This wheel can also be found in the Sepher Eshel Abraham with the metals , elements and directions in a circle(see picture above with aesh/fire and zapohn/north/gold to the left). The man Sweet medicine had the root neshamah of native America and brought sacred teachings to the Plains Indians as did The white Calf Woman as well who brought teachings to the Lakota. One sign, awaited by Native Americans for centuries, of the unified return of these beings to America came in 1994/5754 as the birth of a pure female white bison calf. The first ever white female heifer bison calf ever known. Then three years later came the birth of the pure red heifer in ancient Judea during the passing of the bright kochav/comet Haille-Bop. Thus two “shouts,” one for the native peoples as the white bison calf, and another for the Jews as the red calf. Now we have a third “holy Cow” as a shout to the billion people following Christianity
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/34352408/ns/today-today_pets_and_animals
This says that the soul of all Humanity(Knesset Yisrael) is fully unified right to the nephesh(dam-blood) level of animal soul. The bovine “signs” relate directly to the left face of the chariot/Merkava as Ezekiel saw it with the face of the calf. This is gold and physical wealth and balance of Din reaching into the depths of the animal world in the physical creation. The rural village children have named this new calf after the first redeemer of Yisrael! Bringing us to the hidden name of Moses in the 117th verse of the holiest of the ketubim/writings and the hint at the global geulah/redemption.
In the Qumran scrolls we have an echo of the prophecy of great celestial chiefs/Sarim joining together as depicted on the meso-american stone calendar(see the picture above,the serpent angels surround the wheel). The two serpent dragons face each other with 22 special fires coming off their backs. The Mayan/Aztec calendar "ends”in our present times with these two beings joining each other. They are called by the Aztecs Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca. Their corresponding planetary powers, metals and realms parallel exactly those of the angel princes Michael and Belial of Qumran. In Qumran we have this exact picture in the scroll called “The Testament of Amram”. It is a vision that comes to the father of Moses and he sees two great celestial angels that look like serpents and are arguing over custody of his-Amram‘s remains!
“(I saw Watchers)in my vision, a dream vision, and behold two(of them) argued about me and said….and they were engaged in a great quarrel concerning me. I asked them:”You, what are you...thus…(about me?) They answered and (said to me:”We have been made m)asters and rule over all the sons of men.” And they said to me: “Which of us do you (choose…).
I raised my eyes and saw one of them. His looks were frightening(like those of a vi)per, and his (garm(en)ts were multi-colored and he was extremely dark…
And afterwards I looked and behold…by his appearance and his face was that of an adder, and he was covered w ith…together, and his eyes…”from “The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls” by Geza Vermes
During these bright days of dedication of the holy temple we take refuge in the sacred stories and legends of oral Torah and the miraculous signs in our own times; and we say Happy Hannukah!!

Dead Sea Scrolls and the "imperishable Sepher"

2009-12-05T16:27:00.000-08:00

The community living in the dead sea caves was organized around the understanding that the temple tradition was at the core of the great work to bring the entire globe into the shalom shalem/complete peace. Therefore, and based on the posuk in Chumash that all the tribes inherited land except for the Levites/priests who inherited YHVH, the priestly lineages were key to bringing in the era of the third temple. The nature and function of the precious vessels in Solomon’s temple were also of extreme significance to these people and hence the mystery and intrigue surrounding the famous Copper scroll that speaks of the places where the temple treasure were to be found. The last weeks blog post holds the scroll fragment that explains the vision of the sacred city in a new place related to nine hills and the elemental sarim/governors. It also hints that this new temple nexus will be set up while some of humanity slumbers in not even knowing about the great changes. and so some will do deeds not in line with a world in the presence of the third temple. The original Christian scholars who first translated the scrolls were not happy with the fact that the scrolls included the fact that the Hebrew priesthood had such an important role in bringing in the epoch of geulah/redemption since their own tradition they believed had long ago “replaced” the importance of the Kahuna of Yisrael. And so the scrolls kind of went underground again for a while. The people in Qumran were part of the line that knew that the vessels of the First Beit haMikdash had been reworked into heirlooms of a smaller size that were passed down through generations of people. The Talmud tells us that anyplace that has a consecrated item from Solomon’s temple is itself like the whole first Temple herself and so when the time was right the “foundations” of the Holy house would rise up from below the earth and reappear “ in a land far away” where much gold and silver would come(read the last post). The next fragment from Qumran show how these people were connected to the mekubalim/kabbalists since the physiognomies and astrological connections about the people involved as temple initiates, can also be found in the sepher haZohar especially in the parts about Yitro.Jethro and Terumah. In this fragment is a direct quote from the book of Kings regarding Solomon, “And his wisdom will go forth to all peoples”. This connects us to the temple mysteries and even to the Gnostic tradition of early Christianity that used the verse “let him who has Wisdom and Understanding” calculate the number of the Chayoth”, from the infamous line in the Gnostic poem that is so sorely misinterpreted. The words and number 666 refer directly to Solomon(666 talents of gold came to Shlomo in his census) and the temple mysteries as this blog has continually explained in details. The Jewish Aggadah/legends has told us that the vessels of the first temple will reemerge with the lineages of initiates and this has happened. In fact the upcoming holiday of Chanukah is directly connected to the reemergence of the Breastplate of the high priest, The Choshen which letters Chet-Shin-Nun also are the initials for Nur shel Chanukah-Nun-Shin-Chet which means Light of Chanukah. These letters also form Nachash/serpent and this is a secret key to the geometrical form of the Scepter of Aaron which secret can also be found in verse 49:Five of Sepher Bereishis. 49:5 gives the word Mem-Tet-Heh which is mateh, the word for scepter. In fact all the changes that Tanach(geulah, kibbiutz golios,techiyas hametim) has predicted has all begun simultaneously and people are awakening to what this means depending on their own path and place of initiation. The sepher mentioned in the fragment below, “the book that will not decay” relates this material to the initiation in the line of the Adam Baal Shem, who possesses the Crystal book of Raziel and the connection to the original Adam Qadmon of a Tikkun Olam. The person described is actually a “Baal Shem”. These scrolls are a call from thousands of years ago to the people of Yaakov. Awaken you have a new name You are Yisrael, a mighty Sar who proclaims the Shalom shalem.

Qumran/ swords of the Kerubim and HaTesha=NINE of 5770

2009-11-25T10:14:00.001-08:00

Paraphrase, from the Dead Sea Scrolls Text:
4Q529, 6Q23
"1 Wording of text which Michael addressed the angels of God[...]2 Michael said, "I have located there an army of angels[1][...]3[...] nine big hills: two to the Eas[t...]4[and two to the] South.

Footnotes
[1] The original text reads, "troops of fire". In certain texts the existence of fire has been understood to mean a Godly or angelic presence. [2] The Angel Gabriel is considered to serve as a guide in the Highest Heaven [3] A hint that the city that may be refered to is Jerusalem [4] From 13 to 16 Cook suggests a possible parallel to 4Q522 in which the nations bring things to Jerusalem for the Temple (WAC, 427).

We have just finished the time when the bright swords of the Kerubim would move past the earth and inaugurate a new temple age. These were the bright kochavim/comets that came by in the 5750’s/1990’s. These “swords” guard the entrance to Gan Eden according to Sepher Bereishis. The angelic chiefs spoken of in the Qumran text above are the elemental chiefs that the Native American Grandmother Twylah Nitsch describes in her book “Other council Fires were here before Ours”, which are associated with the comets that she calls the “Stars with Tails beings” who bring a new fire to the earth. The Sepher HaBahir tells us about these Sarim/chiefs of the elements. This fire from the Sarim, the aggadah/legends of Talmud tell us inaugurate the third temple. The text from Qumran is specific that this new sacred city is in a far away place(from Qumran). The scroll hints that the new Temple times will come secretly and many will not know just as in the Navi/prophet Malachi’s book about the coming of Eliyahu before the great day. The man described in the scroll above, in the faraway place is a good man to whom the precious wealth comes to build the sanctuary. Like the Greco-Roman deity of souls, the underworld also is the keeper of wealth so the “god of the earth” mentioned above is associated with precious metal. This connects us to the holiest of all the Ketubim/writings, Shir HaShirim where Solomon’s song tells us that the guardian of the holy vine/Tree is Baal Hamon, the ancient deity of Wealth/souls. The dance that Torah parshot teaches us in these days about the twins; Jacob and Esau, is about Love and wealth and the bringing the entire olam/world into the purifying stream from Gan Eden which breaks forth into the elements. We have entered the decade of the 5770's which in Hebrew is = Hatesha -Heh-Tav-Shin-Ayin; and means the "cosmic NINE which is pinpointed in the first verse of the scroll above as a place of NINE hills in all four directions of earth. As we approach the holiday that rekindles the light of the temple menorah of gold, we understood that Chanukah is the 620th mitzvah(613 of Torah and 7 of the Rabbonim)and this 620 equals the value of Keter, (caph20-tav400-resh200)the crown of precious metal and conscious awakening to the supreme temple.

Qumran, the kerubim, Jerusalem and 770

2009-11-19T05:24:00.000-08:00

The scrolls buried in the Dead Sea Caves contain great razim/secrets of Torah and the new epoch of the third temple times we have entered. The scroll called originally "The Wondrous Child" or more recently the "Birth of Noah" gives us the direct connection to the mysteries of Solomon, Shlomo HaMelech and the Temple tradition. It tells us about the person mentioned that "his wisdom will go forth to all peoples". This is a direct quote from the Book of kings about Solomon. Then it tells us at the end of the short broken text that the waters will flood the world. This ending is why scholars have decided it was written about Noach. They are not privy to the vision of the mekubalim who know from Sepher haZohar(terumah) that these waters are the upper waters of lovingkindness that are flooding the world even now. Another key text is called the "Words of Michael" and this is about two angels, the kerubim, who are speaking to each other about a place on NINE mountains in a land very far away from Qumran where much silver and gold will come(new mishkan)). We have been discussing this NINE for several posts now since we have entered the decade of the NINE 770 meaning the word Tesha-Tav-Shin-Ayin which is part of the decade of 5770 we have just entered. This scroll hence predicts the precise decade that a true place, f a new center and city that shows peace to the enrire Earth will emerge from the flooding waters of love. Many people lost interest in the scrolls when they discovered that a main theme of the scrolls is the primacy and importance of the Kohanim. The fundamentalists of the large religions mostly have dismissed the Jewish prietly lineages and their importance in the unfolding flower of the millennium of peace. We will spend some time here in the coming posts on how the scrolls of Qumran give us the makom/place and time for the appearance of the Beith HaMikdash HaShleishi, the third temple of Earth. This light is brightening as we enter the month of Kislev=kes/throne of the Lev=36 and celebrate the light of the temple of Hannuakah. The Kamea of 36(above) is the box of numbers/letters given over to Sunday and representing the ohr/light of the Temple.

Machpelah and the new Gan Eden

2009-11-12T19:50:00.001-08:00

The Torah parsha of Chayeh Sarah is exceptional in being the only part of Chumash named after a woman. This Mother Sarah is also a key to the raising up of the light of the moon who aggadah/legends tell us was reduced from being equal to the shemesh/sun. This darkening time of the yearly wheel when we move to the month that has the only holiday celebrated in the dark of the moon in Kislev, is when we discover how deep the gates of the true temple of wisdom have sunk into the depths of the material Earth. It is in this dark matter of the physical that we find the gateway to the cave of the ancestors, Machpelah, and the path to a renewed Gan Eden here on earth.
The basic theme of this blog is that the creation is a temple/school of initiation and the Hebrew wisdom tradition provides the maps and the keys that open the path of initiation to an individual. Much can be learned from other wisdom traditions apart from one’s own, that help a person within a specific lineage tradition find deeper understanding of their own path. The many great religious traditions needed to be successful as prayer forms utilizing specific sacred calendars over many centuries with large populations of adherents. Each religious tradition has been like a specific organ system of the human body and they all have been needed to bring us to where we are now. These various religions have been needed to bring the soul roots of the world’s language groups, 70 of them in the tradition of the mekubalim, together to recreate the Adam Qadmon within humanity. This work makes the Source of all that is available to us all in a brand new way. In a simple view we may understand that the universe of space-time, the 4 continuum world, the physical creation has no Center. As the sepher yetzirah teaches, there is a center but this cannot be fathomed without a five-continuum world view. This means the four dimensions/continuums of space-time and a fifth, the path of soul/being. The Sepher Yetzirah calls the vertices/endpoints of this fifth “road’ Tov v’Ra. The word Tov/good in Torah describes the 25th word in Torah which is ohr/light and this hints at the coming holiday of of Hanukkah on the 25th of Kislev when we experience the goodness of the original light of the creation. The kamea/box of the mekubalim of 5X5=25 is related to meadim/mars and the secrets of this hidden light. This being the only holiday celebrated in the dark of the moon. The hidden light in the dark of the moon is a secret to the geulah/redemption. Aggadah/legends tell us that it is Meadim/mars that warms the cold moon from within. This meadim has been mentioned concerning the prophecies of Nostradamus and the true essence of the red morning star is another secret key to the unfolding flower of the times of the third temple. We may discover the true Center of all that is by awakening to our own souls and the vastly larger olam/world of Five continuums. Five(and the letter heh) is the number in the center of the Kamea of Nine(see above) it is a key number to the kamea that is associated with mars, the 5X5 whose rows, columns, and diagonals all add to 65 which equals the value of the name, Adonai. The kamea of NINE is also related to the cave of machpelah with the Eight ancestors interred there around the central Five=Heh which is the second and last letter of the name haShem and the key to the enlivening of the dead, techiyas Hametim. The prophetic traditions and calendars point to a new awareness globally shaking all of humanity in our times as the true center/Source of all that is becomes more tangible. This is like the Mayan prediction mentioned in the last post regarding the descent and appearance of a deity called “Nine support foot” or Nine tree. The mekubalim will understand the significance of the nine vertices/endpoints of the five continuums becoming more “visible” as the center-tenth becomes known. We live in exceptional times!
The entire Earth is now awakening to internalizing the experience of a five continuum world and the vastness of the ocean of soul. We are making a quantum jump as in the times that the experience of the earth went from flat to round/spherical.It is all about the Center we call the Source and in the Hebrew mysteries known as HaShem. May this Be the Source of blessing for all peoples and life on earth.

Kabbalah, Mayan calendar, Nostradamus and the NINE

2009-11-08T06:42:00.000-08:00

We have just finished the 576th decade of the Hebrew calendar(5760-5769) which according to the son of the Chida, Reb Abraham Azulai would be a decade of great purification leaving the entire globe covered with the waters of the mikvah of healing.
If we take the only Nostradamus quatrain that mentions a specific date:
"The year 1999, seventh month, A great king of terror will descend from the skies To resuscitate the great king Anglolmois, Around this time Mars will reign for the good cause."
In giving interpretations of Nostradamus original quatrain Century X, 72nd quatrain in Old French, one has to understand that a few words within the verse have many interpretations. The original French is as follows.
L’an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois,
Du ciel viendra un grad Roi deffraieur.
Resusciter le grand Roi d’Angolmois.
Avant que Mars regner par bon heur.
“The SEVENTH month of 1999”
And we notice the kabbalistic pointers of the century number 10 and the quatrain number 72 and we therefore say that the SEVENTH month may refer to the Hebrew seventh month of Tishrei then the date the French seer is talking about is the Rosh HaShanah 5760!
This as previously mentioned is the famous date that Rabbi Abraham Azulai predicted would see the purification of the entire world by the flow of the upper waters as also mentioned in the Sepher HaZohar. The mikvah he explains has a volume equal to 5760 eggs.
The now very popular Mayan prophecies of their great calendar change has for those who understand the deeper level of calendar mechanics and prayer forms more great synchronicities with the Hebrew vision of the great Sabbath of the prophets. There is way more to all this then just one date. The great changes of worlds would be happening from the end of the Aztec count, on August 16, 1987 till the change in the Mayan count in 2012. This the mekubalim will see parallels a good part of the kibbutz golios/ingathering of exiles as the Zohar predicts to begin in the year 5750/1990.
We also have the only real written prophecy of the Mayan Calendar about the "end date" saying that at the consummation of the Mayan epic which Carl Johan Calleman says is actually October 28, 2011; NINE galactic deities/forces, will appear. From the writings of Carl Johan Calleman on his web page http://www.calleman.com/
“There are for instance those that believe that the end date of the Mayan calendar only marks the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new. On my own part I however think that we are approaching something much more profound than just a point in a cycle that again will be repeated. The only Mayan inscription from ancient times, the Tortuguero monument, which describes the end (http://calleman.com/content/articles/the_tortuguero%20_monument.htm) of their calendar says that nine cosmic forces will then manifest. Empirically, there is also overwhelming evidence from modern research that we are approaching a point in time when nine evolutionary levels (so called Underworlds) of the cosmic plan are simultaneously going to be completed. This would imply that we are approaching not another cycle or another shift, but the end to all shifts, which have been driving evolution since the beginning of the universe. Such an end to all shifts could conceivably provide the basis for a harmonious eternal peace on Earth.”

The "end date" given by Carl Johan calleman-October 28, 5772; is Tishre-5772 - notice the year SEVENTYTWO within the decade of 770=tesha=nine. 72 is the value of CHESED=Lovingkindness and the number of the Shemhamforash.
Being that the Hebrew date 770 is the decade we have just entered and it points to TESHA, The decade of tesha so to speak; tesha=770=the word NINE we have a great synchronicity showing how the geulah/redemption of a deep Shalom Shalem/complete peace is unfolding now.
The quatrain says at the end that Mars will reign happily before and after so if this does refer to the 576th decade of the Hebrew calendar then before means the geulah would have begun before - in the 575th decade as the Zohar predicts in Terumah, and the after is our present time, the 577th decade of many more initiates coming into the awareness of the global geulah.
Why is the NINE again significant for Hebrews and Mayans? We have mentioned before that the joining of the Earth/Malchuth sephira (10th or 2nd according to S.yetziara))to the upper NINE sephirot in a new way is bringing a global geulah/redemption . This nine brings us back to the kamea/box of nine which is a favorite of the mekubalim and corresponds to the level of the upper three sephirot and the “place” of birth of the continuums of time and space. The value of the entire box of nine numbers equals 45 which is the value of the word ADAM. In this box of threeXthree All columns, rows and diagonals add to 15 which is the value of the most ancient name of haShem; Yod-heh=Yah. This name is the name given to the sephirah of wisdom and the birth of the place, the fount of Ayin(70) from where the olamim/universes evolve out of according to the sepher yetzirah and other sources. In the sepher yetzirah this sephirah of Wisdom is the primal mother element of water(Torah is water) and the source of our world.

The name of Seventytwo and Nostradamus

2009-11-05T05:30:00.000-08:00

This month of Chesvan is a month of mystery and deep secrets so we will address a topic along these lines in European and American history.
With all the doomers and gloomers and the famous French seer and his prophecies in the news cable TV lately let’s look at the side of the seer that shows the influence of the rabbinic sages on his predictions. There is ONLY ONE quatrain(four verse stanza) that actually contains a specific date. This is Century 10:quatrain 72. Look at these numbers themselves. We know that the mekubalim are fond of finding the mystery in the chapter and numbers of the posukim themselves. TEN and SEVENTYTWO speak loud about the Jewish mysteries for those who understand these things.
Century 10 Quatrain 72
Now Moira Timms in her book Beyond Prophecies and Predictions interpreted this quatrain into English as follows.
"The year 1999, seventh month, A great king of terror will descend from the skies To resuscitate the great king Anglolmois, Around this time Mars will reign for the good cause."
In giving interpretations of Nostradamus original quatrain Century X, 72nd quatrain in Old French, one has to understand that a few words within the verse have many interpretations. The original French is as follows.

L’an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois,
Du ciel viendra un grad Roi deffraieur.
Resusciter le grand Roi d’Angolmois.
Avant que Mars regner par bon heur.

The usual translation/interpretation is the following:
The year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a great king of terror: To bring back to life the great Mongol king, Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.
Many books and websites interpret the French Roi d’Angolmois as meaning the blood-lion king, the word Angolmois being a French anagram for Sang Lion=Blood lion(some say for the word name Solomon) and Roi the word for King. So we have reference to the line of Judah.
We also know that the predictions of nostradamus about WW2 and the Amalek of that time played a significant role in the defeat of the Amalek and the end of the Holocaust. In fact Amalek would have looked at the quatrain we are studying now and figured that they had to work their “final solution”, destruction of the Jews ,way before 1999 because they would have probably have known as most astrologers and other occultists that the “King of terror” would mean the final weighing of souls. The line about Mars reigning happily could only be understood by the mekubalim/kabbalists who have not been swayed by Greco-Roman mythology, this mythology which for the deity and planet Mars only refers to the kelippa/shell level of this power as war and violence. The essence level of Meadim/mars is hinted at in that the Hebrew word meadim. It is the only planetary name that contains the word ADAM and the word mayim/water. the Native american elders have always referred to the red star as the true morning star and PEACEBRINGER! So this date and prediction aligns with the end of the Hebrew decade-5759, a decade that saw beautiful Kochavim/comets come close by the earth as the native Americans and the sepher HaZohar explained would happen at the time of the change in epochs.(Study terumah/Zohar). The Reb Abraham Azulai said in his l’Chesed Abraham that in the year 5760 (mikvah having the volume of 5760 eggs)we would begin a time when only the land of Yisrael would cover the entire earth, her borders having expanded to cover all the olam/world as the aggadah/legends also predicts.

The french seer may also have been told by the Rabbis that the Seventy Two part sacred name could be placed in a wheel and be used as a stellar/star clock which pinpoints the year 5750 and the 1990's as the time that the twin stars called Teomim(gemini) in hebrew would both finally move out of the 22nd quinary(5 degree segment/5X72=360) of the star clock =Yod-Yod-Yod. This name is equated to the mysteries of the Hebrew priesthood, the three Yod's beginning the three lines of the Birchat Cohanim. This star clock involves the 26000 year preccesional great cycle.
Basically the Frenchman who no doubt learned from Rabbis that the Sky/heavens and the Eretz/Earth would join in a new way to transform Yom rishon(day first) into Yom Echad(day unity) as the Sepher Torah calls Sunday. This would mean the gates to geulah would open to us all.

Chesvan and the Spirit lake/ Mazzal Akrav

2009-10-31T18:47:00.001-07:00

From the words of Twylah Nitsch, the Seneca Grandmother in her book “Other Council Fires Were Here Before Ours”(1991): “Five stars with tails(comets) will pass by the Earth during the transition from the fourth to the fifth world of the Iroquoian creation story. One will bring a new fire which will purify the clan chiefs of the four elements.” This period of the Kochavim/comets corresponds to the Kibbutz Golios”, the ingathering of the exiles as described in the Sepher haZohar and by the great Jewish Sages. It would begin in 5750/1990. The Hebrew Aggadah/legends tell us that fire comes from heaven only rarely in the history of the people of Yisrael but the last time would be in consecrating the Beith hamikdash HaShleishi, the third Temple of Earth. It is in the month of Chesvan, the time of the falling leaves when the spider clan grandparents(mazzal akrav) awaken to the wheel of change. The chiefs who are the Sarim, the governors of the elements are making themselves known to the olamim/universes. This is an awakening to the lineages of initiation from the depths of the Kiva chambers below the Earth of the ancient aboriginal Americans to the shrines on the summits of holy mountains all around the globe. In the Hopi wisdom teachings, Grandmother spider(mazzal Akrav) mother Shechinah of the eighth month of Chesvan, has her twin grandsons WEAVER and ECHOER which hold the keys to the elemental clan chiefs and the twin Kerubim of the Jewish teachings. The mekubalim/kabbalists will see in the Weaver, the one who the aggadah tells us weaves the prayers of Yisrael into garlands for the Holy One, this Kerub is Sandalphon. The Sepher haBahir speaks of these two and the elements they wield. This is the deep pool of the great Mystery. The mystique of the fresh water lake in the eastern woodlands of America , the birth of the great statutes of natural law and her wheel where the ideals of the American government would be nurtured among the six nations of the Iroquois. The place in America that the Jews would find a free place of refuge to nurture our sacred ways. The wheel of natural law is echoed in the council of the eight judges and their chief, of the American Supreme court, the mysteries of the kamea of nine(3X3) and the planet Shabbatai. The Sepher Bahir tells us about the wheel of the 24 chiefs around their chief and the kamea of 25(5X5) and the only planet that holds the name of the element of the depths, the Mayim/water of Meadim/Mars. This planet who has rulership over the mazzal of Chesvan and the sacred blue lake that is home to the ancestors. As the Blue Spirit lake of the Taos Puebloans now reflect at midnight(only in Chesvan/November's first week) the starry seven beauties /Pleiades who are the muses of all that is good. Let their “Sweet influence”(Iyob/Job) hold the entire Earth and her peoples. In the yearly leyning of the Five books we now enter the love story of Abraham and Sarah, who loved so much that the divine presence took up rest in their tent and renewed the blessing for an enlightened peoples of the Earth.

770=tesha=NINE and the Solar calendar synchronicity

2009-10-22T15:45:00.000-07:00

We are now in the eighth month of Chesvan, the month where Abraham ascends from the valley of the kasdeem to the mountain of Har Moriah(place of Yerushalyim) and begins the great journey that builds the world into a holy temple for all the peoples. Tishrei is the sacred seventh month of the great hagim/holy days and is the month of the high mountains but Chesvan which has known the great flood and the babel of the languages and nations is destined to be the month that the earth as the third Beith haMikdash is consecrated.. From the chosheyk/darkness and still depth of a deep valley lake, an apt metaphor for the dark month of Chesvan whose mazal is the akrav/spider-scorpion, humanity has been transformed for millennia to a people who honor life. Many awesome synchronicities are guiding people to understanding the sod/mystery level of this temple building lineage tradition. The square aspect between the planets, Shabbatai/Saturn and Pluto is coming into exact position in the beginning of the scales and the gedi/kid right now. As this is happening we are experiencing the NINTH time that a special synchronicity is happening with the solar Gregorian calendar. This Chesvan is the NINTH time that the first of November is falling on a Yom rishon/Sunday since 5708 and the establishment of the State of yYisrael.This has spectacular implications for those who understand the work of the sacred calendars, the various prayer lineages and the unfolding tradition of temple building. The first seven words of Bereishis/Genesis point to our sacred seven day week and the first 52 words of Bereishis/genesis hint at the importance of the solar European calendar at the tikkun/repair of yom rishon/Day first into the “original” yom Echad. These words Yom Echad end the first 52 words of Bereishis, Day One. 52 are the number of weeks in the secular and religious solar year. The Yom Echad/Day Echad holds the light of the original illumination of the creation “before” any division. This is the yom v’laylah/day and night fully embraced and in the unity of the original illumination. The consecration of the third holy temple is reconnecting our HaAretz/earth to this original light. The work of Abraham and Sarah is also to illuminate the world into a way of truth where individuals honor each other. The ancient peoples all over the world regarded the first of November(in Chesvan!) as the true holy day and new year. The Roman calendar switched the new year to January but kept the true ancient European new year on the first of November as a sacred holiday, all saints day. It the sign of a deep synchronous adventure unfolding that this Hebrew year whose number Tav-Shin-Ayin=770=the word tesha which means NINE and this is the NINTH time since 5708 that the ancient Solar Holy New year of November first falls on Yom Rishon/Sunday just as Shabbati squares(becomes physical/tangible)Pluto. Shabbatai as Time/Binah and Pluto as Depth/Omak become manifest in a new way. The origins of this time in Chesvan(November first) as sacred are connected to the stellar fact that the mazzal of the Pleaides culminates overhead at precisely midnight on the first of November and hence the reverence for this special constellation of seven stars that has been revered by mekubalim and other holy peoples for thousands of years. The seven sisters constellation is connected with the sacred seven day week and so her place at zenith at midnight marks a great shanah/cycle of transformation. The constellation of glowing pearls decorates the starry roof of the global succah of a new epoch.
Good Shabbos!

Chesvan and the 50th gate of Shaar HaNun

2009-10-14T17:53:00.000-07:00

This month of Chesvan approaching is the eighth Hebrew month, the month of the octave that goes beyond the seven which are the schemittot, the great cycles of the year and of time and of ages. The letter for the month of Chesvan from the Sepher Yetzira is the nun. This has the value of fifty and so this coming eighth month holds the sacred fifty gates called the shaar haNun, and the 50th gate of holiness. Chesvan is the month that the first Holy temple was finished and is predicted in the writings of the sages to be the month that the third temple is revealed. The first word and words of Bereishit/genesis hold the secrets of creation, space, time, being and her cycles. The seven schemittot/cycles are hinted at the seven words of the first posuk/line. Bereishit Bara Elohim Et haShamayim Vet HaAretz. In these seven words are six letter alephs. Each Aleph has a value of 1000 and so the six millenia of this epoch reveal the seven cycles of time and the transition to the shemini/the holy eighth/octave of going beyond time and cycle and into the holy of holies of space and the Temple. We are now in the revealing of the mystery wisdom of the sixth Aleph of the first posuk, within the word HaAretz/ sacredEarth. We celebrate Time and the shanah/cycle, year and turn in the seventh month of Tishrei with the high holy days and Succoth/tabernacles. The seventh month ends with the holiday of the Tabernacle and introduces us to the sod/mystery of the eighth month which is so connected to the holy temple but is the only month that lacks any hagim/holy days apart from the Sabbath and Rosh Chodesh. Completing the year of cycle/time is celebrated in our time by the new temple of sacred earth being revealed in Chesvan. The 365 negative mitzvoth/commandments hint at keeping and guarding cycle of sacred time(365=days in a solar year and sinews of connectivity in the body) and this leads to the 248 positive mitzvoth of space(248physicality of bones in the body). The full shanah comes to completion in the month of Abraham, when we start to sing about Abraham and Sarah. Abraham’s name is = 248 by gematria and his accepting the covenant at eight days brings us into the possibility within history and cycle of “going beyond cycle” at the EIGHT/octave and building the Holy temple, another level of sacredness of spaciality in the physical. As mentioned in the previous post all the world’s great religions have been essential in calling in the Sarim, the celestial governors of the 70 nations so as to bring back the lineage of the original Adam, the Adam qadmon, complete human, with the unified soul sparks of all humanity. History and cycle has made this great working of a global temple building possible. The angel who has custody of the crystal book of the Adam Baal Shem is called Raziel and his name like Abraham also has the gematria of 248. 248 positive and 365 negative commandments= the total 613 which equals the value of the word ohrot/lights. The left hand pillar of the traditional Tree of the sephirot is the pillar of time, the 365(time and cycle) in the womb of the sphere of Binah(acharith=endings) at the top, great mother holding the left column. The right column is spaciality, held by the custody of the angel of secrets in the sephirah at the top of this pillar, called reshith(beginnings) angel Raziel(=248). This eighth month of Chesvan when the aggadah/legends tell us that Abraham Avinu was given custody of the crystal book of Raziel/secrets which was first given to Adam and then it went to Noach to light the ark and then to Abraham. The passing on of the secret book of sapphire encased in gold is also parallel to the true depth of sod/mystery of kabbalah and building the Temple.We are at the time in history of civilizations, cycles, eons and the shanah/year, that a new stage of the creation and holy temple and the secret crystal sepher/book is revealed to all the olamim/universes. The physicality of this revealing dedication of Holy temple Earth is synchronous with the coming in of an exact square(90degree)aspect in the next couple of weeks between the planets Shabbatai/Saturn(veils Binah/time) and Pluto(veils the other upper sephirot of space/omak/depth) in the mazzal of the kid/Capricorn and the scales/mozanim/libra. The tangibility of the third beis HaMikdash/temple is being revealed now. We call for the Shalom Shalem, the great blessing of Peace.

The Succah is the Third temple/ 5770

2009-10-04T06:50:00.000-07:00

This season of the great joyous festival of Succoth/Tabernacles we are reminded of the building of the holy temple of Earth and her people which is the root of the mysteries of Shlomo Hamelech/king Solomon. Like all events and works in the Torah there are four levels of interpretation=PRDS - literal, metaphorical, analogical and secret and the understanding of these levels is the key to our own remarkable times. The Vilna Gaon hinted at these levels continually and the “work from below” that he mentioned repeatedly in Kol haTor/Voice of the Turtle” is the very secret level/sod of the physical mysteries of building Solomon’s temple which involves the special metals and gems that are at the foundation of making this physical creation, and the Tikkun/repair of the miraculous descent into the material world.
From a commentary on the Gra’s writing “Kol HaTor”: (from the internet www.yedidnefesh.com)
“For with the revelation of the Mashiach, and the 999 footsteps involved, the upper wisdom and the lower wisdom will be revealed, as written in the Holy Zohar: “In the 600th year of the Sixth Millennium, the gates of the upper wisdom and of the lower wisdom will be opened, the world will be repaired... in order to raise the Knesset Israel from the dirt, ” etc. All these are the mission of Rabbi Eliyahu, the Gaon of Israel, whose light will last till the day is established with the aid of the Rock of Israel and its Redeemer. Therefore, the Gaon tried to understand with his holy spirit also the seven wisdoms from below which are known to be like mixtures and samples at the bottom of the mountain, in order to explain the wisdom of the Torah and to hasten the Redemption -- whose great purpose is sanctification of God as is written: “and all the peoples of the earth will see the salvation of our God, ” also in order to repair the world in the Malchut of the Almighty, “
As mentioned above, the goal of our work is to promote the fulfillment of the commandment of ingathering the exiles and settling the holy land as the way of the beginning of the Redemption, as explained in the following chapters, -- in order to hasten the Redemption in deed with the awakening from below, and to rout the spirit of impurity from the land. Then there will be a unification of the Holy one blessed be He and the Shechina through the unification of the two meshichim in a union and strong, everlasting, bond, which is the mission of the two advocates of the Jews, Hanoch and Eliyahu -- Metatron and Sandal ) and together equal in gematria--a fact that is revealed in the great mystery of “Kol HaTor”). This is the path to our God so that the Shechina will return to Zion, and the Redeemer will come, speedily in our day, Amen. (from the internet http://www.yedidnefesh.com/)”

The ‘seven wisdoms” from below(mentioned above) include the knowlededge of the metals and gems which also correspond to the days of the week and the seven “lower sephirot”. So the period of Tikkun that we are in now involves two specific workings to have brought us to this awesome time.

1)The special prayers of the wisdom lineages through the various religions with their distinct calendars. This for the Jewish people especially involves a lunar calendar geared/ corrected for the seasons and the naming covenant, and ceremony at eight days. This special form of prayer is directly involved with the joining of the seventy soul sparks/roots of the nations especially in Europe, America and Africa; in order to bring the completed Adam Qadmon who has all the soul roots joined. Edom as Christianity needed to walk their special solar calendar for centuries so we could bring in the Sar of Rome by the distinct prayer forms of many generations and therefore unify the soul lineages by joining the sarim-the angelic governors of the nations(Yakov saw this work in his vision of the Ladder). The Tibetans and their distinct conscious reincarnating lineages have done this same aspect of the work in Asia and India. Both wisdom traditions were expected to be exiled and migrate to America as found in the prophecies of the meso-Americans and the Pueblo and Iroquoian Indians. The final unification of the lineages would occur with the distinct “help” of these two exiled populations of priestly peoples(Jews and Tibetans) in America according to Hopi and Pueblo prophecy. The Mayans recorded there take on this in the prophecies of Chilam Balam. The joining of the powerful sarim/chiefs of Edom/Esau and Yismael needed the development of very large religions-billions strong with their faith, and their ceremonial calendars(Christianity and Islam and Buddhism) in order for these celestial Sarim/Chiefs to be joined into the great Temple work. The pseudopigraphical writings and the aggadah about the magical king Solomon and how he built the Temple with the help of “called in spirits” is a remez/hint to this aspect of the work.
2)The unification of the soul lineages needed the prayer forms of the wisdom lineages as well as the “work of the seven from below” which means the vessels of Solomon’s Temple which are an interface with the soul realm(inteface is called sipapu by the Hopi Indians) needed to be reworked and passed on down through the generations as the people migrated around the entire globe.(Read Stefan Zweig’s ‘Buried candelabrum” to learn about this very secret part of the redemptive process.)The actual activation and use of the vessels of the temple were part of the secret practices of the mekubalim/kabbalists and Sufi lineages with their special forms of prayer, incenses and movement practices. To discover how to open the “Book of seven seals”(stone with seven eyes” from navi Zechariah) as the early gnostics called the crystal book of the Adam Baal Shem has involved the sod/secret level of Torah. It has been understood by initiates that different wisdom lineages were given different aspects of the special work and therefore all have been essential to the global tikkun/repair.
These two distinct lines of the building of the Great Succah we call the Earth as the Beit haMikdash ha Sheleishi/The third Temple has been ongoing for many, many millenniums.
There are numerous great socio-political miracles(fall of Soviet Block) that are obvious signs that the work of the building of the Great Succah temple is being completed now and we celebrate this during the Yomim tovim and the hagim such as this week of Succos. And also the next Hebrew eighth month of Chesvan. These two Hebrew months are always nine months(of pregnancy) from the planting of the sacred seed(conception) of the Kabbalists holiday at TuB’Shevat/ The sacred Tree. The actual "birth" month depends on if there is an extra Adar or not(Tishrei is nine months from shevat with an extra Adar and Chesvan is nine months from Shevat without and extra Adar, as this year). Tishrei and Chesvan therefore are destined to be the time that the “Third temple” of a healed earth is celebrated as the first two physical temples were very connected to Chesvan and Tishrei(we pray for a beautiful Etrog/citron at Tu’B”Shevat). The unification of the Holy One and the Shechinah mentioned above in Kol HaTor we celebrate in the beautiful succah by holding together the four species of plants as the four letters of haShem’s name and waving them to all directions of the spacial olamim/universes.
Have a great Festival of the Succah!

the Ayin/eye of source, the year 5770/ the vesica piscis

2009-09-23T16:22:00.000-07:00

We are walking the 10 days of awe between Rosh haShanah and Yom kippur. We sing the song of Moses in the parsha Ha’azinu on shabbos. This song includes the 5770th verse of Torah as discussed in an earlier post. This song of Moses was sung as the scribe and prophet was at the end of his life and about to enter what is called the Shaar HaNun, the 50th gate of holiness. These ten days follow the ten directions the mekubalim call the sephirot from malchut/world to keter/crown. The ten depths of all that is. This year that we begin the decade of the “ayins” in the Hebrew date Tav-shin-AYIN=770 we are right in the EYE(70), the fount of the Source that waters this unfolding flower of creation. Ayin also means fount or spring as well as eye. We each are on our own journey of initiation into the sacred fount, and it is different and as individual as well as global and collective. Yom Kippur, the day of atonement is called the kedosh kedoshim, the holy of holies of zamin/time. The physical holy of holies in the Earth temple of Solomon is the sacred space of Makom/place; and the initiate priest in ourself is the holy of holies of nephesh/soul. All three of the realms- time, space and soul/being are coming together in a new way. As stated previously the part of the Hebrew date 5770(of the sixth millenium =yesod) that is 770 is also the word for nine/tesha, and we are experiencing the joining of Malchut/world and yesod/foundation which is hinted at by the NINE of the sephirot=tesha and 770 and yesod. The Sepher Eshel Abraham has the picture above, published over 300 years ago, of this joining of malchut and yesod in the traditional form of the Tree of the sephirot. This joining raises the levanah/moon to the level of a hechal/palace that now is home for the ceso/throne of the sacred source of the holy of holies, which pours out and is flooding the Earth as the ancient neviim/prophets foresaw. The joining of the two circles of the two sephirot bring our attention to something else spectacular. When circles intersect at their centers you get a special geometric called by ancient gnostics and mekubalim the “vesica piscis”. this figure of the ancient fish is made popular as a symbol of Christianity but it is far older then the modern religion. It is special because the golden section, the phi number that is only found in living organisms with soul interface appears at the place of the EYE of the FISH. Yes we have entered 770 which also holds the root for the word ayin which means EYE as sacred source, the fount of soul and yes the place from where the golden section geometry of life springs forth, realm of soul. Time, Place and Soul is meeting in this Holy of Holies of all of history and our Yom Kippur, great Sabbath of time of the year 5770. We are all initiates awakening to this awesome beauty of the unfolding flower of the wisdom of the temple which is our Earth and we are inscribed and sealed in the book of life.
Gamar Tov and
Shalom Shalem

Shabbatai in the Scales/Moaznaim/Tishrei

2009-09-13T10:30:00.000-07:00

This Hebrew year is now beckoning us from the place of great mercy. It is tav-shin-ayin = 770 which is the Hebrew word Tesha=nine. This year the kamea of nine boxes which belongs to the planet Shabbatai/Saturn and the Sabbath day is a great holder of knowledge for those awakening to their particular places in this global initiation into the mysteries of Solomon’s Temple. The grid has all the columns and rows adding to 15 which is the value of the ancient name Yah(the second traditional sephirah); Yod-heh=10-5=15. This square has a total value of 45 which is the value of the word ADAM. The original Adam; male and female who perceived the entire creation from one end to the other. This Adam is being revealed again to the perception of initiates. This is the 770=ayin=sacred fount or source of all that is. The planet Shabbatai is now moving into an exact square with his brother planet Pluto; the sphere that veils one of the upper sephirot. This physical globe is a manifestation of Omak/depth himself. These two powerful spheres are coming into an exact square in the beginning of the mazzal of the kid/Capricorn and the scales/libra. This will bring into physicality the reality of the balanced ratzon/will of HaShem in revealing the truth of what our olam/world really is and what is happening now. This is the tesha, the nine which is echoed in the nine seats on the supreme court of the United States. With the moon dragon now in the cardinal sign of the gedi/kid which is ruled by the Shabbatai and his grid of nine; the Hechal/palace of the levanah/moon-Earth will become more tangibly felt by many more initiates into the unfolding flower of the depths; Shoshanah HaOmakim.Crooked Like the shofar of the kid or Ram the helical/crooked Dragon of space(whose awakening in the world is happening now); and the right column of the traditional Tree of the mekubalim; the Reshith/beginning seed of all that is can now be experienced in the Earth. This is the brightening of long awaited dawn.

Happy Yom Tov Shabbath!

5770 and the wheel of peace

2009-09-07T11:25:00.000-07:00

Deep solar minimun continues

Spotless DaysCurrent Stretch: 5 days2009 total: 198 days (79%)Since 2004: 709 daysTypical Solar Min: 485 days explanation more info Updated 06 Sept 2009 This wheel of the sacred seven day week can be found here with the Kameas/magic squares, their number value, corresponding day, corresponding metal with atomic number and weight. These contain the number keys to how our special week has brought us into the epoch of the great sabbath. the key is the square of saturn/nine-3X3 and it's traditional element being lead. This element breaks the pattern which is found by counting every other day square and following the atomic number progression of the metals. Mercury is atomic number 80 and so skip a day and you come to Lead which has the number 82 but which should have a much higher number if you follow the pattern. The progression alternates a little jump(less than five) in atomic number and then a big jump - (more than 10). the only metals that would be then the 'higher" aspect of saturn would be above the number 88 and therefore radioactives. These metals are so heavy that they emit light. There is a sacred gem that was in the breastplate of the High priest of Yisrael that did have some of a radioactive-heavy metal give it it's special light and radiance and this stone is the Yahalom whose gematria ffom how it is written in Torah, hints at it's atomic number. this stone has played a key role in bringing us into the great Sabbath. We will explain in continuing posts how this special wheel reveals the mysteries of Solomon and the special number Shlomo haMelech is related to for the gnostics and the mekubalim.

Chai Elul and the approach to 5770

2009-09-01T18:12:00.000-07:00

We are moving into the full moon of the month of return as the world winds towards an awakening to the global peace that the ancient naviim/prophets foretold. As stated earlier the name of the number of the Hebrew year 5770 is pregnant with great meaning. the number 770 is the Hebrew word Tesha which means nine and we are living the times that two of the 10 primal spheres of creation called Earth/Malchuth and Foundation/Yesod are merging in a new way that brings the olam/world into a new comprehension of sacredness in the physical. This is the unfolding flower of the mysteries of Solomon's temple. therefore the date 5770 also hints at the sacred level of temple initiation for the entire globe. The eighth sphere counting down is Hod and this corresponds to the temple and her mysteries. This 770 we are entering the eighth decade of the eighth century of the sixth millennium(Yesod) of the Hebrew calendar count and this trumpets out the sound of the sacred space that is the beith HaMikdash/Holy House. This corresponds to the 33rd day of the omer count from Pesach to Shavuoth when counting in a descending order and this is called Lag B'Omer and corresponds to the life and death of the author of the sepher haZohar, the Rashbi. This 33rd day of the omer is hinted at in the 33rd word of the Torah in Bereishis which is Tov/goodness. Tov is a descriptor in the Sepher yetzirah, the primer of Kabbalah for the sephirah of Keter/crown which is the source of goodness in the central column of soul/being. the two vertices/endpoints of this 5th continuum being Tov v'Ra according to the Yetzirah. The other vertices of space-time are the other 8 sephirot, the extensions of space and the past and future. These are the holy depths.

"There are Ten Intangible Sefiroth whose measure is ten without end:
Depth of First and Depth of Last(time)

Depth of Good and Depth of Evil

Depth of Above and Depth of Below
Depth of East and Depth of West
Depth of North and Depth of South.11"

Sefer Yetzirah
Book of Formation
“The Letters of Our Father Abraham”

This dance the world is dancing at this moment as we finish the seventh decade of the eight century is as we move from eternity into the glory; the very revealing that Earth is the sacred temple: the Hod b'Hod; the 33rd day that is tov and an opening to the very source of goodness and truth. In fact today is the 13th day of Elul and the 33rd day of the 50 count from TishaB'Av to Rosh HaShanah! 13= the value of Ahavah/love and Echad/One. This very moment is the 33rd and the sound of the Hod B'Hod.

We celebrate the birthday of the Baal Shem Tov in a few days on the 18th of Elul who is said to have had the neshamah of the Rashbi and so the word Tov, the 33rd word of Torah is in his name. We have now completed 249 years since his death and a complete revolution of the planet that veils the Keter; the crown of goodness(Pluto). In astrology this "planet" is the physical symbol for Omak/depth itself(the "underworld"). The ten depths are given in the very first 52 words of Torah which is a description of Yom Echad=day unity of all that is. The ten omakim/depths are given:

Heaven and Earth

Tohu and bohu

light and darkness

Day and night

evening and morning

All is called Yom Echad=Day One(unity) and it is called Tov, being the 33rd of the 52 words that begin Beresheis/Genesis.

On the 25th of Elul it is said that Day One manifested in the creation of the olam/world. the sixth day following is Rosh haShanah and the sabbath this year, when it is said that the source of goodness sounds the shofar. So the sixth day becomes the seventh day as the yesod(sixth sephirah and day and millennium)and Malchuth(seventh day of the lower sephirot) have joined.

This is the month of ELUL

Tzur Yisrael/ 5770 verse of Torah/Magen Abraham

2009-08-13T08:20:00.000-07:00

This Shabbos we bless the new coming month of love and return, Rosh chodesh Elul. We are now not only listening - Shema - for; but also looking - seeing, Re’eh- for the miraculous blessings that is the gift of life.This Re’eh-See! Is the name of this weeks Torah parsha. We are now to look for the very embodiment of Torah, sacred lettering, in our human walk on earth as we are in the heel of the year, in Elul, the last month and the heel of all history. The heel carries the entire body of completed humanity but it also is notoriously insensitive to feeling for protection and so as the native American elders warned for these times, people would not be good listeners. To fully listen we need to feel and see, and this is the test for us now.The 5770th verse of Torah is Devarim/32:18.” This hints at the year 5770 that we are listening for now in our walk:

יח צוּר יְלָדְךָ, תֶּשִׁי; {ר} וַתִּשְׁכַּח, אֵל מְחֹלְלֶךָ. {ס} 18 Of the Rock that begot thee thou wast unmindful, and didst forget God that bore thee.
In the Hebrew it begins with the word Zur, Rock.This Rock/Zur is the theme of this special song of Moses. From 32:4 of devarim

ר} 3 ד הַצּוּר תָּמִים פָּעֳלוֹ, {ס} כִּי כָל-דְּרָכָיו מִשְׁפָּט: {ר} אֵל אֱמוּנָה וְאֵין עָוֶל, {ס} צַדִּיק וְיָשָׁר הוּא. {ר} The Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice; a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is He.

This Tzur tamim-perfect rock holds the secret of the fount of wisdom, since the word mayim/waters is contained in the word tamim which is the "perfect" Tzur. This the mekubalim will understand is the mayim mruach and one of the depths/omakim of the shoshanah Haomakim.

The sod level of the Fifth book of Torah/chumash is being revealed now as we enter the Fifth world of American Indian prophecy and the age of the Fifth Buddha according to Tibetan prophecy. On the very mineral crystal level of wisdom those eight stones that are the vestments of the mishkan, the sanctuary of divinity in the physical world are now known to humanity. There are eight corners to a cube which is the shape of the holy of holies/kedosh kedushim of the Temple of Solomon. The eight stone "vestments" are like the kinoor/harp of eight strings that is said to be given to humanity in the era of geulah/redemption. They include FIVE of the seven crystal matrices that make up all minerals in the Earth’s crust. Aggadah of the Jews and many other religions; Islam and Christianity included, tells us that the seven hechalot/heavenly palaces are made of different gems. These include the cubic, hexagonal,orthorhombic,triclinic and monoclinic crystal systems. These stones and the special metals from the temple of Solomon are the key to the unfolding of Zur Yisrael and the sod/secret of the Fifth book of Chumash. Again the name of the year 5770 includes the word tesha=nine(tav-shin-ayin) and the kamea/box of nine(see above) is a key and it holds the number five/heh in the central box surrounded by the Eight other numbers. We do not find the number and geometry of five in the mineral world since this number is the basis of the fifth continuum which is soul/life. The geometry of living organisms is based on the golden mean/Fibonacci series(in the DNA coil/see above) and this is based in five and ten as the sepher yetzirah dramatically insists in chapter one- ‘five over against five as in the fingers of the hands”; “ten and not nine, ten and not eleven”. The eight special vestment stones that cover a priestly people who are the inheritors of HaShem-from last weeks awesome parsha statement. 2 red; 2 green; 2 white; 2 blue are like the points of the magen Avraham; the eight pointed shield of Abraham whose name has the value of 248, also the value of the name of Raziel the initiating angle of the crystal book of Chokmah/wisdom. This is about the completed human with the 248 bones and organs, all supported by the walk of the heel of Yaakov in this time where humanity sees the miracles of life and the American leader of the free world who See’s a world without weapons of mass destruction! A person who understands the words of the navi Isaiah:

. 3 And many peoples shall go and say: 'Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths.' ד וְשָׁפַט בֵּין הַגּוֹיִם, וְהוֹכִיחַ לְעַמִּים רַבִּים; וְכִתְּתוּ חַרְבוֹתָם לְאִתִּים, וַחֲנִיתוֹתֵיהֶם לְמַזְמֵרוֹת--לֹא-יִשָּׂא גוֹי אֶל-גּוֹי חֶרֶב, וְלֹא-יִלְמְדוּ עוֹד מִלְחָמָה. {פ} 4 And He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

The Crook of the Shofar/goat's Horn

2009-08-05T12:55:00.000-07:00

On Rosh Chodesh Elul, the month of return, the Moon dragon moves into the mazal of the gedi/kid. This is the ingress of what is called the true node of the moon. As previously mentioned the "mean" node moved into the kid in the first week of the month of Av but the mean is only an ancient approximation of the movement of the lunar nodal axis. The ancients did not have the sophisticated means of calculation of the very difficult position of the moon’s nodal axis, where the plane of the moon's orbit slices the plane of the earth' orbit.The axis/teli of the celestial dragon of kabbalah, the “curled” one as mentioned in the Song of Songs(see below for quote) moves into the kid as we begin the sacred month of Elul, the month of love. We are only beginning to feel this great change. This week we have the full moon of the month of the Lion/Av and this was celebrated as an ancient feast of loving desire in the vineyards of Ayin(fount)of gedi(kid). Remember this next year 5770(Heh-Tav-Shin-Ayin) contains the letter ayin in it's name/number, which means sacred fount or spring. This full moon is the culmination of the unfolding flower of time and cycle as this weeks Torah parsha of Eikev hints at the rewards that HaShem bestows on those who turn toward the direction of HaShem in their personal unfoldment of their soul journey in this world.This journey and unfoldment is like the helical crook of the Shofar, the rams or goats horn that we sound every morning in Elul as we approach the great change of the wheel of the shanah/year. The word eikev means reward as well as heel, it is the root of the name of Yaakov/Jacob. What is our reward/eikev in this world called exile/goliot whose root also means to unfold(As Rabbi Gershon Winkler always reminds his students)? In this weeks torah parsha we are told that one tribe, the people of Levi were not to share in the reward of land like all the other tribes. Their heritage would be HaShem-YHVH!

8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name, unto this day. ט עַל-כֵּן לֹא-הָיָה לְלֵוִי, חֵלֶק וְנַחֲלָה--עִם-אֶחָיו: יְהוָה הוּא נַחֲלָתוֹ, כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לוֹ. 9 Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God spoke unto him.--

This is an awesome declaration in Torah and was the basis of the elevation of the status of the priestly tribe in the writings of the Qumran/dead sea scrolls.

To inherit YHVH is to come into Geulah, redemption as our unfolding becomes like that of the Levanah/moon in her fullness as we celebrate at TuB’Av this week. To have YHVH, the very Heart of heaven(from last weeks post and parsha) as a heritage is to take the eikev/reward of the heel/eikev of all time and history and to become wealthy with the many blessings mentioned in this weeks parsha including rain in the proper season and the free flow of the mighyt stream of life. To achieve complete undfoldment, geulah/redemption is to have HaShem as a living heritage within our Earth temple world of unending unfoldment of desire and beauty. The haftorahs of these weeks are from the navi Isaiah and in his chapter 27 we have three great dragons who are often mentioned in the circles of the mekubalim.

Isaiah Chapter 27
א בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִפְקֹד יְהוָה בְּחַרְבּוֹ הַקָּשָׁה וְהַגְּדוֹלָה וְהַחֲזָקָה, עַל לִוְיָתָן נָחָשׁ בָּרִחַ, וְעַל לִוְיָתָן, נָחָשׁ עֲקַלָּתוֹן; וְהָרַג אֶת-הַתַּנִּין, אֲשֶׁר בַּיָּם. {ס}
1 In that day the LORD with His sore and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the slant serpent, and leviathan the tortuous serpent; and He will slay the dragon that is in the sea. {S}A Hebrew - English Bible
According to the Masoretic Text
and the JPS 1917 Edition
© 2005 all rights reserved to Mechon Mamre for this HTML version

They do have an association with the three realms mentioned in last weeks post and they hold a clue as to the heritage of reward that we are speaking about now. The first dragon is the piercing dragon as of the linear straight movement of the continuum of time. This one is “slain” by HaShem(the end of time as a constrainer). The third dragon is of the sea and spoken of as biting his own tail and this one too is “slain” by haShem(we come to possess our own souls). The second dragon is the key to our great mystery, it does not directly mention this one as being “slain”. This is the famous “crooked” dragon, the word for crooked/aykalaton not being used anywhere else in Tanach. A serious student will discern that like the axis/Teli, the gilgul/wheel and the lev/heart of the mekubalim( from sepher HaBahir and Yetzirah and mentioned in last weeks post) these three correspond to space, time and soul/being. Herein is hidden the great raz/secret of the mekubalim for we are told that the locks of the teli/dragon of space are taltalim/curled as is mentioned in the lover of the Song of songs(5:11):

10 'My beloved is white and ruddy, pre-eminent above ten thousand. יא רֹאשׁוֹ, כֶּתֶם פָּז; קְוֻצּוֹתָיו, תַּלְתַּלִּים, שְׁחֹרוֹת, כָּעוֹרֵב. 11 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are curled, and black as a raven.

This brings us back to the special “crook” or twist of the Shofar whose sound is getting stronger as it permeates the unfolding of geulah/redemption in our sacred earth olam/world. Our eikev/reward in this eikev/heel of the walk of history of Yaakov/"he who grabs the heel"; is the blessing of the heritage of the Heart of Heaven in our walk on sacred Eretz/Earth. “walk in beauty”!

Month of the Aryeh/Lion and the Green Stone of Av/Shimon

2009-07-29T13:34:00.000-07:00

From the great Mayan creation story in their bible, the Popul Vuh:
“There was nothing brought together, nothing which could make a noise, nor anything which might move, or tremble, or could make noise in the sky.
There was nothing standing; only the calm water, the placid sea, alone and tranquil. Nothing existed.
There was only immobility and silence in the darkness, in the night. Only the Creator, the Maker, Tepeu, Gucumatz, the Forefathers, were in the water surrounded with light. They were hidden under green and blue feathers, and were therefore called Gucumatz. By nature they were great sages and great thinkers. In this manner the sky existed and also the Heart of Heaven, which is the name of God and thus He is called.” (From Popul Vuh U. of Oklahoma Press1950)

In our Torah parsha for this week of Tisha B’Av/Va’eschanan we have in Devarim/Chapter4:11”So you approached and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire up to the heart of heaven,” On this verse the special small book of the mekubalim, Sepher haBahir has a commentary:
“Rabbi Berachiah sat and expounded:
What is the Axis(Teli)?
This is the likeness that is before the Blessed Holy One. It is thus written(Song of Songs 5:11), “His locks are curled(Taltalim).”
What is the sphere(gilgul)? This is the womb.(and the wheel/shanah of time and the year)
What is the Heart? It is that regarding which it is written(Devarim 4:11), “unto the heart of heaven.” In it are included the 32 mystical paths of wisdom.”(32=the gematria of lev=heart)(after Kaplan’s translation-page40)
These are at the heart of the mystery of the mekubalim, the three spheres or realms. They hold the key to what has needed to be healed and how we are now in a new olam/world of the Earth as the third Beit haMikdash/Temple.
The Heart is the concealed upper beginning, the reshith and rarely spoken of.
The sphere is the upper mother of understanding, the Earth/haretz in the first verse of Bereshith/Genesis and the Axis, the Teli is the dragon of HaShamayim that unfolds into the depths of space in our manifested physical universe. This “axis” called curled like the helix is as mentioned in previous posts needed to be healed in order to heal the broken vav of the word shalom in parsha Pinchas and allow the upper waters to directly flow into this olam/world.
This weeks Torah parsha includes the second rendition of the Esrei Devarim/The Ten Sayings(commandments) which varies in that HaShem tells us to Shomer/guard the Sabbath while the first rendition in Shemot/Exodus tells us to Zachor/remember the Sabbath. The zachor is a positive form that can be done every day and night while the shomer is a negative commandment that is done on the Sabbath day - all the rules and regulations of how to “protect” the Sabbath day. The negative involves the gilgul and the wheel of time, hence the 365 negative Torah mitzvoth which correspond to the days of the yearly wheel. The positive is the 248 positive mitvot (the total=613) which are said to equal all the bones and organs in the body of Adam Qadmon. The upper mother(Binah) holds the 365 on the left column of the traditional Tree of the depths(womb of time) and the upper father (reshith)holds the 248 on the right column of the Tree. The angel Raziel, the angel of the secret book has a value of 248 in his name and holds the mystery of the Heart of heaven/reshit which he gave to the original Adam Qadmon.
Those mysteries of this angel were a sacred book of crystal and here is where the Mayan story is so revealing for those green feathers in the waters of "heaven"referred to in their creation story refer to the column of green which the zohar tells us is one of the three columns that support the entire creation(red and white are the others).This second rendition of the ten devarim is also different from the first in that it contains the letter teth which the first does not. This letter has the value of nine and the only crystal stone on the breastplate of the high priest that also has the letter teth is the "pitdah" that is said to belong to the tribe of Simeon(Shimon) and relates to the month of Av. So there is this very special green stone that completes a new rebuilt temple earth. The Mayans relate a blue "turquoise" to “Heart of heaven/sky” and a green "turquoise" to heart of earth.
For those who can “Hear/Shema” the root of Shimon's name, to hear;
Celebrate a renewed green Earth temple, within your “decreased joy” at this time of the Teth/nine and then an increased joy for the full moon of Av.
From the Song of Songs Chapter One:
15 "Behold, thou art fair, my love;
behold, thou art fair;
thou hast doves' eyes.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant:
also our bed is GREEN/Raeinanah."
Good Shabbos

The 9 of Av/The forty years has ended

2009-07-23T09:13:00.000-07:00

The Moon now veils the hechal/palace of the third temple of the mysteries of Shlomo HaMelech.
He to whom Peace belongs. The beginning of the Torah parsha devarim, the beginning of the fifth book of Chumash/fifth now in this fifth month, the month of Hod(temple), takes place after 40 years(chapter1:3) in the wilderness and the peoples are told it is time to possess the sacred land.

2בְּאַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה, בְּעַשְׁתֵּי-עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ; דִּבֶּר מֹשֶׁה, אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֹתוֹ, אֲלֵהֶ And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;

Again in chapter 2:7 the forty years are mentioned.

For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand; He hath known thy walking through this great wilderness; these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.' ז כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בֵּרַכְךָ, בְּכֹל מַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶךָ--יָדַע לֶכְתְּךָ, אֶת-הַמִּדְבָּר הַגָּדֹל הַזֶּה: זֶה אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה, יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ עִמָּךְ--לֹ
חָסַרְתָּ, דָּבָר. 7

We as humanity just celebrated a completion of forty years since humans walked the surface of the Levanah/moon, which the mekubalim know is said to veil the first of the hechalot/heavenly palaces. In fact in the summer of 1971ce on a Sabbath Tisha’b’Av humans walked and breathed on the moon, hinting at a time that the Earth would join with the yesod/foundation in a new way and become a holy temple. The beith HaMikdash Sheleshi/third temple. Yes, the sacred Earth is the holy land and it is time to honor this eretz. This sabbath is the day of Chazon/vision and it always falls in this first week of the month of Av, the mazal of the aryeh/lion. We now have nine petals of the rose of the omakim/depths(5-770=tesha=nine) and the dawn total eclipse of the sun on 1Av is another reminder that the levanah/moon has regained her stature in a new eon. The 1Av is the yahrzheit of Aaron the priest and this eclipse tells us that this lineage and that of all the holy peoples has been reinvigorated. The ability for the very small lunar sphere to create the total eclipse phenomenon is a hint at the soul ocean that the entire created universe floats within. Last weeks post we discussed the importance of the kamea of nine and we can see that the value of 40(as in 40 years)is the value of the eight boxes surrounding the central box of five(chumash). The 40 is always a testing period to attain to a new heh, a new five(heh=five)the only letter of the name of HaShem that is repeated. Half way through the first forty years since we walked the Moon, in the Hebrew year 5750 we entered the 40 years that the Sepher HaZohar calls the Kibbutz Goliot, the ingathering of exiles. In the parsha devarim HaShem also tells the people, that they must turn from their own sacred mountain of har Sinai and go out and make the whole earth a holy land.

6 The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying: 'Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain; ז פְּנוּ וּסְעוּ לָכֶם, וּבֹאוּ הַר הָאֱמֹרִי וְאֶל-כָּל-שְׁכֵנָיו, בָּעֲרָבָה בָהָר וּבַשְּׁפֵלָה וּבַנֶּגֶב, וּבְחוֹף הַיָּם--אֶרֶץ הַכְּנַעֲנִי וְהַלְּבָנוֹן, עַד-הַנָּהָר הַגָּדֹל נְהַר-פְּרָת. 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the Lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore; the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. ח רְאֵה נָתַתִּי לִפְנֵיכֶם, אֶת-הָאָרֶץ; בֹּאוּ, וּרְשׁוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ, אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע יְהוָה לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶם לְאַבְרָהָם לְיִצְחָק וּלְיַעֲקֹב לָתֵת לָהֶם, וּלְזַרְעָם אַחֲרֵיהֶם. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.'

Notice how the land called Lebanon which is actually a form of the Hebrew word for Moon/Levanah is mentioned and know that this is a prophecy for a time when this moon palace is joined in a new way with the earth globe and the awakening of the shalom shalem, the great peace flows through our world like the mighty stream.

Good Shabbos of the great vision! We are Here!

Tisha B'Av and the 72 days of Chesed/the Shofar

2009-07-15T15:38:00.001-07:00

From the 17th of the Hebrew month of Tammuz till the Rosh Hashanah of the next year there are 72 days. These 72 hint at the names of HaShem in the world of yetzirah, of angels and the 72 star gates explained in previous posts; also the value of 72 equals the word Chesed/lovingkindness. The Zohar for this weeks Torah parsha Mattot reads; “Come and behold. It is written: “for I have said, “The world is built by Chesed”(Tehilim) What is Chesed? It is one of the King’s supernal sefirot. For the Holy One, Hakodesh Bruch Hu, named the soul of Yisrael Chesed, on the condition that it would build. Thus, Chesed will never cease…”ZoharIII,259b.(trans after Ashlag).
We are in these 72 days now as we have entered the traditional 3 weeks of mourning fro 17Tammuz to TishaB’Av,and we enter the fifth Hebrew month of Av next week which corresponds to the fifth omak/depth of the lower sephirot called Hod. Hod is the vessel of the holy temple and this month of Av is the month the temples were destroyed and also is the month that the third temple becomes revealed to the olam/world continually in a new way. The word Hod means splendour and has the gematria value of 15. 15 equals the divine name Yah; Yod-Heh- and is the key value of the kamea number grid of Shabbatai, the Sabbath, the grid or famous box of nine that we discuss often in this blog. See Rabbi Ibn Ben Ezra’s book “The Secret of the Torah” for more details on the box of nine. Each day of the week has a box, a planet, a heaven and an element. What is quite significant about the box of nine is that each row and column equals the 15 value of Yah and Hod and the total value of the square, the numbers from one to nine equals 45, the value of the word Adam/human and odem/ruby. The Hebrew letter associated with the month of Av from Sepher Yetzirah is the letter teth which also has the value of nine. This is the ninth of the month of AV which name is the Aleph-Beth ; Av contains the letters-Aleph-Beith. This day can herald in each of us the time when the whole earth is the sacred Malchut sephirah where many peoples are experiencing the beauty and freedom of all the other NINE omakim/depths. As we walk these sacred days of chesed, these 72 days in the awakening of a new divine age/eon we approach a new turn of the wheel/shanah and the Hebrew year 5770 which date contains the word tesha=Tav-Shin-Ayin which is the number 770 but the word tesha is the word for the number NINE!!! We are already experiencing the awakening of the complete Adam, the value of the box of nine which corresponds to the holy Sabbath of the week. As mentioned in a previous post the unifying or touching of Netzach and Hod(called also the Kerubim), the nodes of the moon dragon has allowed the flow of “upper” waters into our world and this causes the sephira of Malchut to join with Yesod in a new way (see picture above from the Sepher Eshel Avraham/1701 which is a rare depiction of this change in sephirot)which changes the number of sephira in a sense to nine. The world is already experiencing this unprecedented global awakening and transformation. This will become more profound during the NINE days from Av1 to Av9 as the moon dragon/north node moves into the mazzal of the gedi/Capricorn. The shofar is made from the horn of a ram(aries) or a goat(Capricorn) and so here is another synchronous event implying the sound of the shofar, the goats or rams horn, each which is an animal corresponding to the mazzal called cardinal. The cardinal signs, Aries,Libra,Capricorn and the Crab/cancer all are called cardinal signs- involved in initiating the ratzon, the will of HaShem, the divine in our world. The three kinds of mazal/signs(cardinal,fixed,mutable) align with the three columns of the traditional Tree of the sephirot. All the practicing mekubalim will be hearing this sound of awakening as the helical turn of the shofar vibrates the omakim/depths of the Tree within and without. The Rosh HaShanah of this new wheel of the year that we can already hear will be celebrated on the Sabbath when it is said Hashem is the one who sounds the Shofar.
Good Shabbos!!

Parsha Pinchas and the Book of Seven Seals/Seven eyes

2009-07-09T07:46:00.001-07:00

In the traditional written Torah scroll the letter vav in the first sentence of parsha Pinchas, the letter in the word shalom(shin-lamed-VAV-mem) is a broken vav. Most commentators say that the vav is diminished because the “peace” of the covenant given to Pinchas was gotten through violence so it could not be complete. The mekubalim have the sod/mystery level since the six value of the vav corresponds to the six omakim/depths related to the days of the week; that need to be healed in order to bring a complete peace. The healing of course involves the reestablishing of the original light of the levanah/moon which was diminished with the change involving the Tree of Daat/knowledge and the Etz Chaiim; the tree of life. The mysteries of Solomon deal directly with this completing of the shalom; Solomon’s Hebrew name being the word for peace. He was the fifteenth generation of Israel and the fifteenth day of the lunar month is the full moon. Legend says that the moon was full perpetually during a period of the reign of King Solomon. The Zohar on the parsha Pinchas gives us instruction of how to heal the trees and the moon. The little book inside the main body of the Zohar, “the Faithful Sheperd” contains amazing commentary on how to heal the Tree in earth.” Netzach and Hod are the two halves of a body, like two twins/teomim, which is why they are called heavens/shechakim. The two of them together are vav vav of veshet, from the aspect of the left, and they are the two molar teeth from the aspect of the right.” Zohar III-the faithful shepherd of Parsha Pinchas/trans. After Ashlag. If we continue in our understanding of the healing of the “six” “lower” depths then we can see how these two teomim/twins need to be joined so as to allow the flow of the upper waters into our world which has reestablished the holy temple in Earth. This corresponds to the reuniting of the “head” and “tail” of the lunar being from the ancient Vedic legend in last weeks post. The various wisdom traditions around the earth have been given different keys to the full understanding of these mysteries. The Hebrews had the crystal book that the gnostic Christians openly wrote about in their book of revelation, calling it the book sealed with seven seals. This sepher/sapphire is called the stone with seven eyes(ayin=founts)by the prophet Zechariah. This book in the Hebrew wisdom was given to the original Adam, male and female by the angel of secrets. It is said in legend to be made of sapphire and encased in gold. In the pseudipigraphical literature we see it again; “Above the Seraphim is a prince, more exalted than all princes, more wonderful than all ministers, Radweiriel YHWH is his name and he is in charge of the archives. He takes out the scroll box in which the book of records is kept and brings it into the presence of the Holy One” chapter 27;1 & 2 of the Book of Enoch from Old Testament Psuedopigraphica by Doubleday. The Hebrew lineage keeps the book; and the legend of the Adam Baal Shem gives us more details about this line of initiation as the way of a true scribe. The gnostics made the book famous in their writings as sealed with seven seals, and the sufi mystics of Islam were given the secrets of how to open the seals of the sacred book. For this book has been guarded by the gates of time herself(Binah/upper mother) and only those given the true keys have the daat to open this Sepher/sapphire. The gates of time have been explained in previous posts since they are seen as the “Teomim” twin stars that move through the 72 star gates over the turn of the earth related to the movement of vast periods of time and civilizations. The book of sapphire has been opened in our times and the knowledge of this is now being revealed as we have entered the 207th period of the blessing of the sun which brings us to the special angel chief mentioned in bahir as uriel whose name contains the word ohr-aleph-vav-resh which means light whose value is 207 in gematria. The full value of this chiefs name, auriel, is 248 which also equals the value of the angel chief in charge of the sacred crystal book - raziel=248. Those mekubalim will know that the the 248 are the “positive” number of mitzvoth of the 613 total which number equals the word ohrot=“lights’=613, the plural of ohr which equals 207. And so the 248 are the physicality of body, the number of bones and organs in the original body of Adam Qadmon. Our times are times of the opening of this special Sepher/sapphire. The true peace of the word Shalom in the first lines of this weeks parsha Pinchas is now ours. From Sepher HaZohar on Pinchas’ “The lord buildeth Jerusalem”(Psalms)-he and no other. It is for this building that we are waiting, not a human structure which cannot endure. The Holy One , Baruch haShem, will send down to us the first house and the second house together, the first in concealment and the second openly. The second will be revealed to show all the world the handiwork of the Holy One, Baruch HaSem, in perfect joy and gladness. The first which will be concealed, will ascend high over that which is revealed, and all the world will see the clouds of glory surrounding the one which is revealed and enveloping the first one which ascends to the height of the glorious heavens. It is for that building that we are waiting. Even the future city of Jerusalem will not be the work of human hands, all the more so the Temple, HaShems habitation.” Zohar III221a(trans Sperling). This Hebrew month by tradition is the time on the 17th of Tammuz that the original crystalline stone from har Sinai were shattered. The pieces were by tradition kept and we pray that this holy chodesh/month of Tammuz and Av, the months of Netzach and Hod; Yerushalim(Netzach=eternity) and the Temple(Hod=kavod) the people sense this peace that is healed.

the dragon in the Kid-capricorn/ayin Gedi

2009-07-01T09:29:00.000-07:00

We are now in the Hebrew month of Tammuz, the fourth month which relates to the fourth of the depths/sephirot of the week; Netzach=eternity. The original crystalline tablets from Har Sinai give us the direct interface with the olam haBeriah; the world of throne. As a longtime theme of this blog the world of throne is now fully interfaced with our world of assiah/action. This month restores the first born birthright of the shevat Reuben who is the tribe corresponding to Tammuz. His stone is the odem/ruby which means we have left the exile of Edom/Rome, the word that has the same letters of Odem and Adam. The completed original Adam has been the goal of the mekubalim/kabbalists for the millenniums. This is the making of the true repair/healing of the world. This Tikkun Olam has not only been the work of social activists for centuries but also of the global wisdom traditions-completing the first Adam, male and female in our physical world of assiah/action. The mitzvot/commandments of this weeks Torah parsha(the red heifer) involves the rectification of death which involves the mysteries of the Tree of daat/knowledge. The nachash is an integral part of this famous story and the letters of the nachash/snake(nun-cheth-shin) are the same letters of the choshen/breastplate(cheth-shin-nun) of Aaron. The mysteries of the technology of the Hebrew priesthood, including the fragments of the original tablets of stone crystal from har Sinai; involves the healing or rebalancing of the change that the tree of Daath involves. This is all very connected to an ancient Sanskrit Vedic story that brings it all up to this very moment in Tammuz/Av in astrological time. The Vedic story involves the original divine powers using the great serpent to churn the cosmic ocean and bring up the nectar of immortality. The nectar comes up but a "demon being" swallows some and the divine power of Vishnu(sacred life) chops him in half. The two halves become the beings in Vedic astrology called Rahu and ketu; the north and south nodes of the moon sometimes called the dragons nodes. See how the serpent energy is related to the dragon power and the diminishing of the light of the moon which involves the nodal axis and the moons movements in relation to Earth and Sun. The aggada/legends of Talmud tell us about how the light of the moon was originally dimished from being as bright as the sun/shemesh. The complex Hebrew 19 year prayer calendar is established to fully work with nodal changes of the moon and the eclipse cycles effected by this. For the mekubalim we needed to bring into manifestation the complete Adam Qadmon and the doing of this is directly related to rejoining the nodal points of the dragon of the moon, called in the Vedic literature the Rahu and ketu. Actually the means of doing this is also explained through use of story in the Vedas. For the mekubalim it is very involved with the left side of the Tree of the kabbalists and opening the shaar haNun, the fiftieth gate of the upper mother(Binah). This allows the thirteen streams of pure balsam(bedilcha=crystal) to flow directly into our olam/world. Shlomo haMelech/Solomon said he did not understand the laws of the red heifer and part of this was due to the fact that the sacred vessels of his temple would need to travel around the globe of Earth and find their way to the other side in the land of America before the completing of the Adam Qadmon could be made manifest. the Jewish author Stefan Zweig in his "Buried Candelabram" explains this part of the work. The sign for this completion happening would be the birth of a pure white bison heifer in America(in 5753/1993) which marks the return of the upper sky mother called whope, the star maiden or white bison calf woman for Native Americans. In the land of ancient judea the first birth of a pure red heifer calf since temple times occurred in 5757/1997. This coincides with the opening of the 50th gate of Binah(upper mother) and of course the flag of America has 50 stars-gates! And the thirteen stripes - of pure balsam-from Zohar in the greater and lesser holy assemblies. And the soul spark of the original Adam who in America came as the Cheyenne prophet Sweet Medicine hid the prophecy of time in his vision of the winged thunder chiefs/Seraphim - the 44 chiefs surrounding him deep in the heart of Bear Butte thousands of years ago. So now we have the 44th American president whose name is Hebrew for lightning bolt and a global push towards freedom and diplomacy.
We will now get back to why the month of tammuz/Av is connected to netzach/eternity and Hod/the holy temple. For during the three weeks of traditional mourning this summer from 17Tammuz to 9Av we have the north node of the grandmother moon/levanah moving into the sign of the gedi/kid(capricorn) and completing a grand 19 year cycle since the “repair” of the nodes of the moon took place. This means the direct flow of the cardinal power of will of the cardinal signs of capricorn/cancer- the primal power of water/Earth is available here. This heals the separation between the Tree of Daat/knowledge and the Etz chaiim/the Tree of Life in our physical world. This Sabbath we sing a double parsha and the second one is Balak where Balaam’s vision of the Kochav, the special star of Yaakov(the star of Whope the upper sky maiden) is seen that has played a critical role in healing the Earth and bringing humanity into the great Shalom Shalem and the purification of our times!

15And he took up his parable, and said: The saying of Balaam the son of Beor, and the saying of the man whose eye is opened; טז נְאֻם, שֹׁמֵעַ אִמְרֵי-אֵל, וְיֹדֵעַ, דַּעַת עֶלְיוֹן; מַחֲזֵה שַׁדַּי יֶחֱזֶה, נֹפֵל וּגְלוּי עֵינָיִם. 16 The saying of him who heareth the words of God, and knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, fallen down, yet with opened eyes: יז אֶרְאֶנּוּ וְלֹא עַתָּה, אֲשׁוּרֶנּוּ וְלֹא קָרוֹב; דָּרַךְ כּוֹכָב מִיַּעֲקֹב, וְקָם שֵׁבֶט מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל, וּמָחַץ פַּאֲתֵי מוֹאָב, וְקַרְקַר כָּל-בְּנֵי-שֵׁת. 17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh; there shall step forth a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of Seth. יח וְהָיָה אֱדוֹם יְרֵשָׁה, וְהָיָה יְרֵשָׁה שֵׂעִיר--אֹיְבָיו; וְיִשְׂרָאֵל, עֹשֶׂה חָיִל. 18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also, even his enemies, shall be a possession; while Israel doeth valiantly.

the mouth of Earth/Korach in the underworld

2009-06-25T08:20:00.000-07:00

This weeks Torah parsha is all about making the holy peoples a people who are all priests with a direct relationship, each person to haShem. It also keeps hidden in the sod/mystery, the meaning of the layers of the underearth and what the mouth(peha) of the Earth means. The number of posukim/verses in parsha korach is 95 which is also the very gematria of the word that means the mouth of the earth that swallowed Korach and friends, Peh-yod-heh=80-10-5. The pueblo world view is usually regarded as “animistic” to the anthropologists but there are wonderful parallels with the secret teachings of the mekubalim and the stratified layers of Earth and sky for native peoples of America. For the pueblos we have migrated through various underworlds before emerging onto our familiar hardened Earth and sky above paradise. Being swallowed by the underearth would be less a punishment for the Puebloans as some commentaries on the Torah Korach would imply and more of a step backward in development or initiation. The place where the band goes under the Earth is called Sheol in Hebrew. The holiest song ever written, Shir HaShirim, tells us that love is stronger and more absolute than the fire of Sheol.
ו שִׂימֵנִי כַחוֹתָם עַל-לִבֶּךָ, כַּחוֹתָם עַל-זְרוֹעֶךָ--כִּי-עַזָּה כַמָּוֶת אַהֲבָה, קָשָׁה כִשְׁאוֹל קִנְאָה: רְשָׁפֶיהָ--רִשְׁפֵּי, אֵשׁ שַׁלְהֶבֶתְיָה.

6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm; for love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave(Sheol in Hebrew); the flashes thereof are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD.
A Hebrew - English Bible

Sheol is the layer of underearth mentioned in holy Torah as where Korach's band went after being swallowed. In the ancient mysteries of both aboriginal America and the mekubalim this place would be considered a “raw” state where the balance of the primal powers is not yet achieved. Access to the center of the creation, we call haShem might therefore be limited in the underearths. Initiates in the pueblo cosmology and ceremonial system are regarded as “cooked” versus "raw"people. The ancient Pueblo peoples found there to be four Earth worlds, three underworld layers and various sky worlds. This so beautifully aligns with aggadic and kabbalistic schemes of the olamim/universes. Traditions about the parsha Korach include the ideas that the mouth of the earth that swallows alive also involves a reemergence of the individuals swallowed in the era of redemption that is now upon us. The Sefer HaZohar keeps to one major theme on the incident with Korach. That is that he wanted to switch the left and right powers, the leviim holding the left and the Cohanim holding the right. This would have made the work of the global tikkun not possible. it is all about balance as the native elders also teach us.
The picture above of the human migration/initiation is taken from a Pima Indian basket design. (from the book "Earth and Sky"(UNM press))Similar “migration” labyrinths can be found with the Hopi Indians and on ancient coins from Greece. both the underearth layers and the sky world layers can be discerned. This can be found discussed in Sefer haZohar and other books of the mekubalim.
After the incident with the Earth swallowing some people the Torah presents the famous scene where the twelve tribal elders all bring their scepters to validate the line of Aaron as the true priestly lineage. The scepter of Aaron blooms before the eyes of the people. The scepter of Aaron involves initiation into the mysteries of the interface technology between the hechaloth/palaces and the earth.

The gematria of the name of the Earth mouth who swallows is 95 which is the same as the number of verses in the entire parsha. It is also the gematria value of "Daniel" which hints how important a deeper understanding of this part of torah is for the times we are living in right now.

Remember Daniel reveals in his book the mysteries of the times of the geulah. In our times the mouth transforms from peh-yod-heh to yod-peh-heh which in Shir HaShirim/Song of all Songs means yaphah=beautiful!
Good Shabbos!

The Fringes/Tzitzit encircle the entire Earth

2009-06-17T13:06:00.000-07:00

We will continue on understanding the three divine names in the Shema, the Jewish proclamation of faith. The Rashbi mentioned the significance of these three but would not elaborate while the people were still deep in the night of the exile of Edom. This weeks Torah parsha gives us the angle on how important the middle of the three names in the Shema really is for the parsha is about possessing “the land”. the “einu” ending of the divine root in the Shema prayer implies our HaShem. As we mentioned in last weeks post the Baals of ancient Cannan were all about possessing with power and these storm Chiefs themselves needed to be brought into the sacred lineage tradition. This is parallel to the haggadic stories of how Shlomo Hamelech/Solomon called the “demons” to him with his special technology and put them to work building the Temple.The last post explains how the center of the seven lamps of the menorah needed to be moved with the beings associated with meadim placed in the middle, and we now know that the central core of the sacred mother earth is made of the metal associated with the planet Meadim/mars and the metal that colors our own blood. This weeks parsha tells us that we needed to take possession of the eretz/land even though the commentaries tell us that the inhabitants of the land of canaan were powerful spiritually and so the spies were afraid of them. The powerful sarim/angelic princes of many nations needed to be brought into the temple lineage in order to open to the upper waters of Kedusha/sacredness. The journey of holy peoples around the entire globe meant making the earth the center of all the olamim/universes. This weeks parsha begins with the story of the scouts who went into the “holy land“ and it ends with the verses about the Tzizit, the fringes that echo the DNA strands connected/knoted together by the four nitrogenous bases that are like the four divine letters of HaShem‘s name. The sequence of knots give us this incredible dance of life in the physical. In the native Hopi Indian tradition the creative upper mother is Grandmother Spider and her male active Teomim/twin sons are the Weaver and the Echoer. These two are said to keep the Earth globe turning in balance. The fringes are an echo back to the ancient shamanic art of weaving fabric.
We are now entering the month of Tammuz in the yearly/shanah cycle of transformation. This month hides a special holiness in that we would have received the first Luchoth HaBanim/Tablets of crystal if it was meant to be so that we will receive this great blessing now as part of the global Tikkun we are witnessing.This is the month of the shevat/tribe of Reuben, the firstborn whose stone on the breatplate of the Priest is the Odem/blood red ruby. It is the mazzal of sartan/crab whose element is the powerful cardinal/oceanic water. It is opposite the cardinal Earth sign of the gedi/kid where the planet pluto has entered which is unfurling the banners of the temple tradition of the anceint mekubalim. The moon/levanah rules the month of Tammuz and her sign the crab, and she is pulling the oceanic tides of civilization toward an awakening peace. We have carried the DNA fringes of our garments around the entire Earth and made the olam/world a holy place.

From the book of Bamidbar/Chapter 15:

37 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: לח דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם, וְעָשׂוּ לָהֶם צִיצִת עַל-כַּנְפֵי בִגְדֵיהֶם, לְדֹרֹתָם; וְנָתְנוּ עַל-צִיצִת הַכָּנָף, פְּתִיל תְּכֵלֶת. 38 'Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them throughout their generations fringes in the corners of their garments, and that they put with the fringe of each corner a thread of blue.

the center of the seven lamps

2009-06-11T15:03:00.001-07:00

The Torah parsha for this week begins with the lighting of the seven lamps in the temple. The temple holds the cubic holy of holies which is the consecration of space. Yes!! Here is the very CENTER of space-dimension/omak/depth. Here the lights “below” are kindled to engender the stream of chesed from “above”. The physicists of today tell us in the four continuums of space-time that there is no center in this infinitude of space. And with this world view attached to a psychological/emotional floating dimension the people are lost and floating. The nature of our temple tradition is to orient to the very CENTER, the sabbath of space. This is the place of the NAME/haShem and the tradition of naming. The name consecrates being in space/time and sets us on this path of initiation. We do have the eben/stone and we have the consecrated center of omak/depth. The aboriginal native elders in America said this would happen in the southwest of the US. The Mayan priests predicted centuries ago of the return(in Book of Chilaam Balam) of Itzamna(itz=tree in Hebrew and amna=faith) and the beginning of a new world center in the southwestern US. The physical Earth globe holds the very center of the entire creation now. The order of the seven lamps that connect through one beaten piece of metal is changed to an order that allows the center, the holy of holies to reside in our world. This has been the work of our temple tradition and the mysteries of Solomon. The seven kameas of the planets are the maps that show us what changes have been accomplished. The natural order places the grid/kamea of the sun in the center, a box of 36 squares with no center box(called a palace). Our book of Koheleth/Ecclesiastes tells us that all is vanity, nothing new “under the sun”. We needed to bring one of the grids/kameas that are “above” the sun/tiphereth, into the center of our Earth temple to make the global Tikkun/repair. This has been the work of the sky chiefs who go by many names in various traditions. The only planetary spheres name that contains the Aleph in the Hebrew is Meadim/Mars. It actually contains the name Adam! This kamea/grid of meadim, of 25 squares contains a central box/palace with the number sacred to Yisrael-13(value of echad=one). The Zohar tells us that 13 streams of balsam come from the beard of the upper face, this is from the “Book of Concealed Mystery” and the “Lesser Holy Assembly”. With this planetary body as the central lamp we have the CENTER here in Earth. This is the mystery of the fourth to last verse in the holiest of all songs ever sung and now this verse contains the sacred name and the song has become the tenth song. Most traditions tells us that Shir haShrim does not contain the sacred name. The fourth from the last verse contains a PLACE name that has become the center name. The sphere of meadim is the place of the dragon chiefs(seraphim) who were the Baals of Canaan; the storm chiefs of old who bring the rain and the upper streams into this world. We now have Barak/lightning and his chief of staff-Rahm/thunder in the white house! What a miracle HaShem! This is a conscious heaven world that is “above” the sun; above the sephirot tiphereth/sun in the traditional tree of the mekubalim. The sephirah of gevurah is directly above tiphereth/sun and is the planet meadim. The tikkun has been acomplished. The "place" in the song where King Solomon kept his "vine" has become the consecrated name-space. the cube of the Holy of holies which has six faces(matriarchs)X the 12 edges(tribes)=6X12=72 surrounding the center point which is the 73, the wise mekubalim hold the significance of this number. From the holiest of songs: this verse contains the singular of Shadai, translated as breasts, and the Peace of the Divine Shechinah:
י אֲנִי חוֹמָה, וְשָׁדַי כַּמִּגְדָּלוֹת; אָז הָיִיתִי בְעֵינָיו, כְּמוֹצְאֵת שָׁלוֹם. {פ} 10

{פ} 10 I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof; then was I in his eyes as one that found peace. {P} יא כֶּרֶם הָיָה לִשְׁלֹמֹה בְּבַעַל הָמוֹן, נָתַן אֶת-הַכֶּרֶם לַנֹּטְרִים: אִישׁ יָבִא בְּפִרְיוֹ, אֶלֶף כָּסֶף. 11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he gave over the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof brought in a thousand(sacred aleph=thousand) pieces of silver.

and here is the 5769th verse of torah with the word Shadayim:(Devarim32:17

יז יִזְבְּחוּ, לַשֵּׁדִים לֹא אֱלֹהַּ-- {ר} אֱלֹהִים, לֹא יְדָעוּם; {ס} חֲדָשִׁים מִקָּרֹב בָּאוּ, {ר} לֹא שְׂעָרוּם אֲבֹתֵיכֶם. {ס} 17

the stone of the Holy of Holies/Eben Shetiyah

2009-06-07T10:06:00.001-07:00

The two primers of the mekubalim tell us that there are three “realms” that make up the entire creation. These are the realm of being whose place is in the heart/lev; the realm of time whose place is in the gilgul/wheel of the year and the realm of space whose place in in the Teli/dragon-axis. “The Teli in the universe is like a king on his throne. The Cycle in the year is like a king in the province. The Heart in the soul is like a king in war.”SYetzira 6:3(Kaplan trans.) In the Sepher haBahir there are parallel Sarim/officers who are the three that are the chiefs over the three realms. Students of the presently popular kabbalah with the 2-D “tree” will know that the three “realms” correspond to the three columns of the traditional popular tree. In the four “worlds” of the exoteric kabbalah the three realms or columns(3X4=12) give us the “twelve arms” or boundaries of the universe that the yetzira explains to us as the edges of the cube described in detail in chapter one of the yetzira. It has been a theme of this blog in various convoluted explanations over the years that the world of the throne, called “beriah” has joined with our physical olam/world in a new way as of the beginning of the 40 year period we entered in 5750/1990. This means that blessings are flowing from the primordial stream of chesed/lovingkindness at the root of the Tree, in a more direct path. When this is eventually more understood and acknowledged, than the blessings will also flow at the material economic level and prosperity will abound for many more people.(it may only depend on one relatively small bank lean on the property that holds the eben shetiyah) The eben shetityah/foundation stone is not only a metaphor but an actual crystalline substance(one of the three saphirim/gems mentioned in chapter one of the Yetzirah but usually translated only metaphorically as text, number and speech. The three crystalline geometries of these three sapphires/gems are the very physical pillars that the universe rests on. The Zohar references continually the three pillars whose colors are red,green and white. The Sepher HaBahir develops the geometries and angelic numbers and this becomes a complex mathematical midrash on the worlds, realms and angels of the hechaloth/palaces as they interface Earth.
In a previous post we referenced the Zohar on the commentary on the six words of the Shema/proclamation prayer of the Jewish faith. It tells us that there are three words that signify the divine but the Rashbi, author of the Zohar did not believe humanity was ready for a deeper significance-explanation of the three. The mystery of the three strangers that visited Abraham Avinu and our mother Sarah, the three realms of the Yetzirah, the three Saphirim of Yetzirah, the three mother elements and the three Sarim/princes-officers are all interconnected. From the Book of Daniel Chapter2:

. מד וּבְיוֹמֵיהוֹן דִּי מַלְכַיָּא אִנּוּן, יְקִים אֱלָהּ שְׁמַיָּא מַלְכוּ דִּי לְעָלְמִין לָא תִתְחַבַּל, וּמַלְכוּתָה, לְעַם אָחֳרָן לָא תִשְׁתְּבִק; תַּדִּק וְתָסֵיף כָּל-אִלֵּין מַלְכְוָתָא, וְהִיא תְּקוּם לְעָלְמַיָּא. 44 And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed; nor shall the kingdom be left to another people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, but it shall stand for ever. מה כָּל-קֳבֵל דִּי-חֲזַיְתָ דִּי מִטּוּרָא אִתְגְּזֶרֶת אֶבֶן דִּי-לָא בִידַיִן, וְהַדֵּקֶת פַּרְזְלָא נְחָשָׁא חַסְפָּא כַּסְפָּא וְדַהֲבָא--אֱלָהּ רַב הוֹדַע לְמַלְכָּא, מָה דִּי לֶהֱוֵא אַחֲרֵי דְנָה; וְיַצִּיב חֶלְמָא, וּמְהֵימַן פִּשְׁרֵהּ. {פ} 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold;

The Great Supreme Court and the 50th gate

2009-05-27T18:57:00.000-07:00

The fiftieth gate is the timeless shaar that is Har Sinai. This mountain the Jews have carried on their journey walk encircling the globe of earth. The date of the day of Shavuoth is not stated in Torah like the other yomim tovim. This "place" encompasses all time and space. This is omak v'omak. Depth of Depths which those who know will understand. this 50th which also holds the sephirah of understanding - 50 in binah- is joining with events in the world of doing as the supreme court of nine of the land of the white eagle is radically changed. First eight men surrounding a Jewess-miracle of miracles! and now another woman, the color of America. We have two seats now echoing the upper mother-Binah; and lower mother-Malchuth - two powerful women. Seven men make up the rest of the court. we have mentioned before how the supreme court reflects the native meso-american cosmology of the nine dark robed judges of the underworld of souls. In the wisdom stream it is the box/kamea of nine(3X3) aligned with binah-saturn-shabbatai. The nine may now reflect and channel the purifying stream of chesed from "above" the sun-tiphereth. three seats now above the sun tiphereth and the two mothers surely are a "purifying" majority for a flow of true Chesed into our olam/world. The other seats held by men "below" the sun will be radically purified.

In the above title page of Reb Avraham Azulai's book Chesed L'Avraham we see the white eagle and the pioneers traveling to a new world. In this book written in the early 1600'sc.e.,the great Reb said that the year 5760 (and the whole 576th decade which we are now completing in 5769)would see the beginning of the purifying waters flooding the entire earth. the ancient measure of the mikveh being equal to 5760 eggs in size. The white eagle is across the wheel of the chayoth from the red calf. The world is flooded with the upper waters of chesed. we have the mountain!

Deep Solar Minimum
04.01.2009
April 1, 2009: The sunspot cycle is behaving a little like the stock market. Just when you think it has hit bottom, it goes even lower.
2008 was a bear. There were no sunspots observed on 266 of the year's 366 days (73%). To find a year with more blank suns, you have to go all the way back to 1913, which had 311 spotless days: plot. Prompted by these numbers, some observers suggested that the solar cycle had hit bottom in 2008.
Maybe not. Sunspot counts for 2009 have dropped even lower. As of March 31st, there were no sunspots on 78 of the year's 90 days (87%).
It adds up to one inescapable conclusion: "We're experiencing a very deep solar minimum," says solar physicist Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center.
"This is the quietest sun we've seen in almost a century," agrees sunspot expert David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.
Quiet suns come along every 11 years or so. It's a natural part of the sunspot cycle, discovered by German astronomer Heinrich Schwabe in the mid-1800s. Sunspots are planet-sized islands of magnetism on the surface of the sun; they are sources of solar flares, coronal mass ejections and intense UV radiation. Plotting sunspot counts, Schwabe saw that peaks of solar activity were always followed by valleys of relative calm—a clockwork pattern that has held true for more than 200 years: plot.
The current solar minimum is part of that pattern. In fact, it's right on time. "We're due for a bit of quiet—and here it is," says Pesnell.
Sign up for EXPRESS SCIENCE NEWS delivery But is it supposed to be this quiet? In 2008, the sun set the following records:
A 50-year low in solar wind pressure: Measurements by the Ulysses spacecraft reveal a 20% drop in solar wind pressure since the mid-1990s—the lowest point since such measurements began in the 1960s. The solar wind helps keep galactic cosmic rays out of the inner solar system. With the solar wind flagging, more cosmic rays are permitted to enter, resulting in increased health hazards for astronauts. Weaker solar wind also means fewer geomagnetic storms and auroras on Earth.
A 12-year low in solar "irradiance": Careful measurements by several NASA spacecraft show that the sun's brightness has dropped by 0.02% at visible wavelengths and 6% at extreme UV wavelengths since the solar minimum of 1996. The changes so far are not enough to reverse the course of global warming, but there are some other significant side-effects: Earth's upper atmosphere is heated less by the sun and it is therefore less "puffed up." Satellites in low Earth orbit experience less atmospheric drag, extending their operational lifetimes. Unfortunately, space junk also remains longer in Earth orbit, increasing hazards to spacecraft and satellites.
A 55-year low in solar radio emissions: After World War II, astronomers began keeping records of the sun's brightness at radio wavelengths. Records of 10.7 cm flux extend back all the way to the early 1950s. Radio telescopes are now recording the dimmest "radio sun" since 1955: plot. Some researchers believe that the lessening of radio emissions is an indication of weakness in the sun's global magnetic field. No one is certain, however, because the source of these long-monitored radio emissions is not fully understood.
All these lows have sparked a debate about whether the ongoing minimum is "weird", "extreme" or just an overdue "market correction" following a string of unusually intense solar maxima.
"Since the Space Age began in the 1950s, solar activity has been generally high," notes Hathaway. "Five of the ten most intense solar cycles on record have occurred in the last 50 years. We're just not used to this kind of deep calm."
Deep calm was fairly common a hundred years ago. The solar minima of 1901 and 1913, for instance, were even longer than the one we're experiencing now. To match those minima in terms of depth and longevity, the current minimum will have to last at least another year.
In a way, the calm is exciting, says Pesnell. "For the first time in history, we're getting to see what a deep solar minimum is really like." Modern technology cannot, however, predict what comes next. Competing models by dozens of top solar physicists disagree, sometimes sharply, on when this solar minimum will end and how big the next solar maximum will be. Pesnell has surveyed the scientific literature and prepared a "piano plot" showing the range of predictions. The great uncertainty stems from one simple fact: No one fully understands the underlying physics of the sunspot cycle.
Pesnell believes sunspot counts will pick up again soon, "possibly by the end of the year," to be followed by a solar maximum of below-average intensity in 2012 or 2013.
But like other forecasters, he knows he could be wrong. Bull or bear? Stay tuned for updates.

Blessing the Sun of Chesed/Lovingkindness

2009-03-29T13:51:00.001-07:00

The Sun of Chesed/lovingkindness and Birchat haChamah
The rarest of Hebrew blessings is now being prepared for the day before the Passover festival on April 8th. The 28 year cycle of Birchat HaChamah is based on the cycle of the planet Shabbatai/saturn, which has a solar orbit of 28 years. This blessing will begin the 207th cycle of 28 years of the Hebrew calendar. 206X28=5768 and so this year 5769 begins the 207th which is the gematria value of the Hebrew word for light/ohr(aleph-vav-resh=207). This also coincides with a new grand solar cycle of the indigenous Mayan and Meso-American traditions. We are now in their sixth sun called Sun of Flower/Xochlitol Ahau. As mentioned earlier the very picture of Sun=Flower is the Zia sun symbol which is the symbol of the state of New Mexico and is actually a depiction of a “smoking mirror“, a total eclipse of the sun. The 28 year cycle which is about the planet that veils time(Shabbatai/Saturn) and all about the “reishit and the acharit“, the dimension of time of beginnings and endings and the relationship to what is eternal. The importance of the indigenous American calendars became clear at the end of the Aztec calendar which the scholar and wise man Tony Shearer elucidated in his book, “Beneath the Moon and Under the Sun”. The Aztec calendar ended on August 16th 1987 and everyone might remember the grassroots festival, the “Harmonic Convergence” on that day. That was the Aztec year 5720 and the Hebrew year was 5747 and a month later it was 5748 for the Jews. This was precisely the 28 years apart of one cycle of the planet that the Aztecs revered as a veil for the deity called Tezcatlipoca(Saturn/Shabbatai)The fact of this difference in two calendars whose counts are in the thousands of years is astounding. It is a pointer to the significant cycle of 28 years. The relationship to the moon cycle of 28 days is also significant)In 1987/5720/5748 we were only two years from the important Hebrew year of 5750/1990 when the Sefer HaZohar predicted the beginning of the 40 years when we transition to a new world. This years blessing of the sun is quite significant, coming precisely in the middle of this period of time. The Zohar has a beautiful passage on the beginning of the Sefer Vayikra of Torah that traditional Jews are beginning to sing this time of year.
“ As soon as the morning was light (haBoker ohr), the men were sent away”(Gen XLIV,3)He said, We have learnt that when morning comes and judgement passes away and lovingkindness(Chesed)seeks to awake, then all who come from that side hasten to their place to prepare blessings for the world; and this is the meaning of the words,”the morning is light(ohr)”, light being synonymous with “good”. Note the following series of grades. ’Night is one grade, as we know. Then “morning light” is another grade, which we also know, a higher grade which always accompanies the other. THE SUN IS A THIRD GRADE (caps are mine here)known to us which establishes all and gives light to all. Thus the “morning light” receives light from the sun, and in turn gives light to the night, so that they are all linked to one another. When this “morning light” awakes, all men are gladdened to go about their business. And now that the day has dawned it is time for us to go on our way.” Zohar III22b(trans after Sperling)
For the American indigenous calendars we are ending both a small 5200 year solar cycle(1987-Aztec to 2012-Mayan) as well as five of these small 5200 year cycles which actually completes a great processional cycle of 26 thousand years. Remember the Earth wobbles once every 26 thousand years which is the precise distance-26 thousand light years to the center of the galaxy. The fact that the 207th blessing of the sun cycle actually equals the gematria of the word in Hebrew for light Aleph-vav-Resh=Ohr is revealing to the unfolding name of flower for the solar period we have entered. The flower is produced from the eternal stream of Chesed/lovingkindness as the theme in Zohar.Yes the first day of the week, Sunday is now a sacred day in a new way in the olam haBo, the “coming world” that we have entered and an extension of the sacred Sabbath, seventh day of the week. Zachor/remember Shabbat Sunday we become a part of a new celebration of the week of days in this flowering world. The seven “days’ of the week in the Sefer Bereishit is a key for understanding the works of “creation” and the unfolding flower of peace.
Verse 1: In the beginning El-him created the heavens and the earth.
Verse 2: The earth was unformed and desolate, and darkness covered the surface of the abyss. The breath of El-him hovered above the surface of the water.
Verse 3: El-him said, "Let there be light(Ohr)." and there was light.
Verse 4: El-him saw that the light was good, and El-him divided the light from the darkness.
Verse 5: El-him called the light day(yom), and the darkness He called night(laylah). It became evening and it became morning, one day (Yom Echad)
(from Metsudah Chumash with Rashi,Hebrew and English, online)
These "seven days" in bereishit are a grand key of understanding for the mekubalim. day one and day four begin a horizontal cycle of time within the vertical descent of the sacred seven. Light emerges on day one/yom echad, but the sun and moon appear on day four. Cycle and time then breaks from the vertical nature of the seven days on day four and so we say the blessing of the sun on Wednesday=day four. one/four times the full seven "days" (4X7= 28) so we have the 28 cycle of years of the sun blessing. however this year is different and the gates of kedusha/holiness that connect day four to day one and the original ohr/light have opened for our olam/world. Likewise a special relationship exists between day two and day five; and day three and day six. The sabbath rests in the middle of the six pointed mogen david of these "days".

Yom Echad and the Blessing of the Sun

2009-03-18T17:51:00.000-07:00

The sun is already shining with sevenfold brightness as the state of New Mexico has become the fifteenth state to abolish the death penalty! As in earlier posts the symbol of New Mexico found on the flag and state quarter holds the message of ancient prophecy from Tibet, Ancient Israel and Native wisdom tradition. The glow of Yom Echad/Day One, when the night/laylah and Day/Yom are in regenerative embrace within the echad/unified name of the Divine begins to accelerate a global healing.The prophecy of Reb Avraham Azulai in his book lChesed Abraham becomes clear. He said that in the 576th decade of the Hebrew calendar(beginning 5760) the entire Earth would feel the light of a global Yisrael. The circle of the Zia sun symbol=360 degrees multiplied by the 16 rays(protuberances of total eclipse)360X16=5760 and we have the emergence of a true city that shows Peace to the world=Yerusalyim. We have moved a giant leap now with the end of the death penalty here. The Navi/prophet Isaiah said that Yisrael would be called a city of Holy Faith=Aeer Emunah. We would honor the sacredness of life with the peace of a living Torah. Santa Fe means Holy Faith and the Zia sun symbol is both a 2-D rendition of the wheel chariot of the four living creatures each with four faces(4X4=16) and a depiction of the Tibetan mandala called the KalaChakra/wheel of time.
The symbol has sacred meaning to the Zia Pueblo people. Four is a sacred number which symbolizes the Circle of Life: four winds, four seasons, four directions, and four sacred obligations. The circle binds the four elements of four together. (right out of Zohar/terumah!)The salutation, “I salute the flag of the State of New Mexico and the Zia symbol of perfect friendship among united cultures." The school children of New Mexico say this pledge for friendship of diverse cultures daily.

This April 8th, the eve of Pesach we have the rare Birchat HaChamah, Blessing of the Sun which occurs only once every 28 years. We are also coming to the completion of a full 19 year turn of the Hebrew calendar and solar/lunar eclipse cycle since the year 5750 when we began the 40 years of the techiyas Hametim/enlivening of the dead and the ingathering of the exiles. This is a great synchronous cycle with this full moon of the Passover. Yom Echad is the first day of the week but also the "eighth day" and the mekubalim understand the implications. This "Sunday" holds and radiates the waters of Chesed/lovingkindness which Abraham Avinu and Sarah our Mother carry in their Chayah being. "And the sun will shine with a sevenfold brilliance".....
