Foundation of the Sarim

We have entered a motzei shemmitah year, the eighth year of a sabbatical cycle. The widespread economic crisis is only another sign of miraculous times. As the great mekubal Reb Avraham Azulai foresaw that the borders of eretz Yisrael would spread to encircle the entire globe. We have entered a siman tov/sameck tet year 57-69. The sabbatical cycle as given in Torah is a reminder and respect for the sacredness of the Earth and her riches. It reminds us of the correct relationship with wealth as a gift from the Source which must be handled with reverence. The managers may rent out rooms in the “hotel” in a respectful way. When the “Owners” of the hotel comes to visit everything is set right in a just fashion. The builders of this hotel understand the integrity of the building and the quality of the foundation. An adjustment is taking place, the owners are visiting! The pueblos and some other of the American Indian tribes knew that the “owners” would visit this Hotel Earth in a new way at this time. They also knew that two ancient priesthoods would come to America and make this new hoop of peace possible. The Tibetans and Jews have arrived here. The hoop of the priesthood has been united at the soul level.The physicality of the third Beith haMikdash is now here in America as ancient peoples from the Qumran caves to Chaco Canyon knew this would unfold like a beautiful flower. An ancient people living in America were known to the Rashbi, who authored the sepher HaZohar. He said that that the Earth was round and on the other side of the ball lived a “small” people. The “elohim”/powers of the Hopi Indians are all carved out of the root of the cottonwood tree. The many masked impersonators of all the powers of the source that form, sustain, empower and destroy all that is of the universe. The four worlds of our four continuum world are discerned in the four sections of the ancient Hopi doll kachinah as well as in the statue of the metals depicted in the book of Daniel. These four “worlds” or sections of the creation also correspond to the four continuums of time and space. Each is “Be’limah”, out of nothing as the Sepher yetzirah, the primer of kabbalah tells us. These four also relate to the four levels of Torah interpretation, P-R-D-S; from peshat/literal to the sod/secret hidden. Many folks may easily get stuck in just one or two of these levels of interpretation and miss the whole enchilada as the locals might say. This is liking building only one wall of a sukkah/tabernacle. Those stuck in the literal are obvious as many fundamentalist folks from all the religions can be seen for there worldview. What may be even more of a difficult trap is those who interpret Torah at a deeper level like the symbolic, but do not develop the roots into the fourth/ deep secret place and hence do not understand the ramifications of a global soul awakening. Many boomers have studied and been greatly influenced by people like Jung and Campbell who have given the wisdom tradition and the religious vehicles a palatable makeover as great myths and paths for an individual to develop toward a healed psychological person hood. This is OK(I’m OK) but it is only a veneer, a surface level of what the wisdom school temple of initiation is about. Study the native aboriginal traditions and you will find the levels of initiation that the big temple involves. These degrees of initiation are not only psychological passages in the human mind and life path. The animal lodges of initiation are not just psychological stages of development. The sephirot and the Tree of Life is not only a concept map toward psychological wholeness. The “central column” of kabbalah is not only the window of the “ark” that joins the upper mother waters with the lower mother. There is a physical component to these mysteries. Arranging the physical materials of the temple mysteries so that blessings flow into this world is a real work. At this stage some of the literal Torah becomes the deepest sod/mystery. The Jews have built the sukkah, the makeshift lodge of initiation that celebrates the intangible in the changing flow of the seasons. Some of the very orthodox Jews are in hope that David Hamelech will come this year; ben david bo/ “son of david comes” is gematria equal to samech-tet/69 of our year 5769. David historically laid the foundation of the first holy temple which Solomon then finished. The foundation of the temple is built and established over many millenium, many ages of dream and fashioning.The Ramban(Nachmanides) ends his commentary of the last parsha of torah, the Blessing of Moses, with a mention of Daniel’s very physical vision for the ketz, “the end” of days. The beings known as the “Sarim”, the princes make their home in Earth. Hag sameach!
