The Earth is a ball!/Spring miracles

This coming Tuesday is the first day of Nissan, Rosh Chodesh, a brand new lunar cycle and the vernal equinox, the first day of spring. The length of the day is exactly equal to the night. Last weeks Torah portion ended the book of Shemot with a detailed explanation of the mishkan, the tabernacle. The Zohar on this tells us a lot about the function of this technology in relation to the living creatures, the ophanim and the seraphim. It tells us that this technology was completed on the first day of the month of Nissan. This links the month of miracles with this very special technology built of certain metals and special colors, with the “placing the Creator on the throne” through the redemptive process. This is a major theme of the temple mysteries and the wisdom tradition. The basics of all kabbalistic work both practical and theoretical is built on the principle that the entire creation is made of five continuums and not just the four continuum world view generally acccepted in the world today(3 of space and one of time). In the Zohar’s commentary on the first parsha of the Torah for this week, Vayikra, we have an astounding statement about how the Earth is actually a sphere. “ “in the book of Rab Humana the Elder it is explained further that all the inhabited world is circular like a ball, so that some are above and some below, and the strange appearances of certain races are due to the nature of the air but they live as long as other men. Further there is a part of the world where it is light when in another part it is dark, so that some have night while others have day. Also there is a place where it is always day and where there is no night save for a very short time.”(ZoharIII10a)The Book of Splendor, the Zohar appeared during the 1300’sCE when most all of the world was still sure the Earth was flat. Here we have the details of a full leap in understanding about the nature of the world and it’s functioning. Likewise the Sepher Yetzira which first appeared in manuscript form in the 8th or 9th century CE gives us the details of the five continuum world view which still is only understand and lived by a very small minority. The Yetzira chapter 1:5 tells us: "Ten sephirot of nothingness: Their measure is ten which have no end
A depth of beginning
A depth of end

A depth of good
A depth of Evil

A depth of above
A depth of below

A depth of east
A depth of west

A depth of north
A depth of south

This simple stating of five continuums with ten vertices(endpoints without end) is astounding.
The global soul awakening that is happening now, in this period called the “ingathering of exiles” is exactly about this leap in world view as the leap from the flat Earth to spherical Earth was a few centuries ago. . Another stage in the awesome nature of the creation is being realized. A part of this leap involves the return to the world of the technology of the mishkan, which joins the beings of the fifth continuum - “upper world” with the physical manifestation in a way that the Zohar likens to a man and woman in a face to face “embrace”.
Happy spring and the month of miracles!
make love, not war!
