The great matriarchs of Israel have possessed the fourth level of soul called the chayah which originally belonged to Cheva/Eve as the mother of all living. In Zohar for this weeks parsha on Toldoth we read
“And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said: She is my sister. Like Abraham before him, he referred with these words to the Shekinah, which was with him as well as with Rebecca his wife; for like Abraham he carried out the injunction: “Say unto wisdom: Thou art my sister”(Prov.VII,4) They were further entitled to call her sister in virtue of the verse, “My sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled”(S.S.V,2), for it is for this that the righteous cleave to HaShem”Zohar I,140b(Sperling trans.)
We know from the writings of Kabbalah that the Chayah level of soul was passed on down through the matriarchs and so we also have the association with the sacred well as in the well of Miriam, the very fountain of life and wisdom for the people. It is the conscious joining of the chayah soul and the neshamah soul that is a critical part of the work of making the entire Earth/Adamah a holy land. In the parsha of Vayera which we sang two weeks ago we related how HaShem became visible with the three visitors to Abraham. That week an invisible star increased in brightness a million fold in a part of the night sky that has associations with the work of the holy peoples. The Torah portion of Vayera is a beginning for the sacred temple school in this cycle, relating the birth of Issac to Abraham and Sarah in their old age and the covenant at eight days with the visitation of HaShem and the angels. In the ancient Roman Christian calendar the actual day that the star became visible during that week is the feast of the “Archangel Raphael” and some torah commentaries say that he was there as one of the angels to help heal Abraham from his Bris in old age. Many synchronicities abound with this new light in the night sky. In the Hadith/tradition of Islam, Raphael is called Israfil and it is given to him to sound the final trumpet with a blast of truth. Israfil is interesting since it contains the names, Israel, Seraph and Raphael all in one. The Islamic tradition about this star of the Imam Mahdi, the twelfth Imam, as related about in the last post, also connects the star itself with the active working of the Staff of Moses/Mosheh. This star may indeed be the one connected to the inauguration of the Temple technology on Earth. This would fulfill the prophecy that the third temple would become visible and completed on Earth in this month of Chesvan. This manifestation of this light in the sky if it is shown to be directly related to a human endeavor with the “temple technology” would validate the five continuum worldview of ancient Kabbalah that gives the being/soul world, a prime place in this unfolding flower of Earth and the Olamim/universes. The Zohar says of this forty day star that heralds the geulah/world of peace, “and then will this cause the seventh window to open to the whole world, whose star is the “Star of Jacob”, concerning which Balaam said: There shall come a star out of Jacob(Num.XXXIV,17). This star will shine for forty days and forty nights…..”Zohar II-172b(sperling trans.) This week we continue in Torah with the developing of the story of the twins in Rivkah’s womb and the birth and journey of Jacob himself. His star is shining in our hearts and minds and prayers.
The photo above of the newly brilliant star in the thigh of Peretz/perseus can be found from the article in Sky and Telescope online which reports that deep blue streamers of gas are now emerging into a tail visible in telescope images. The Native american Hopi prophecy speaks about the coming of the fifth world of peace which is heralded by a new star in the sky:
That time is not far off. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. He represents a blue star, far off and yet invisible, which will make its appearance soon. The time is foretold by a song sung during the Wuwuchim ceremony. It was sung in 1914 just before World War I, and again in 1940 before World War II, describing the disunity, corruption, and hatred contaminating Hopi rituals, which were followed by the same evils spreading over the world. This same song was sung in 1961 during the Wuwuchim ceremony.
The Emergence to the future Fifth World has begun. It is being made by the humble people of little nations, tribes, and racial minorities. (Book of The Hopi By: Frank Waters ).
The newly visible star that is always above and visible all night will stay in the same mazzal of stars through the springtime. The same constellation holds the star Algol,Rosh HaSheitan, the chief shaar/gate of the adversary. The verse from Bereishis that titles this post ends with, "and your offspring shall inherit the gate/shaar of its enemy."Gen.22-17
The Earth is being healed. Baruch HaShem
