In this week in Torah we have incredible seed events. The three “men” visit Abraham. He holds the aspect of Chesed/kindness and his hospitality begins the shamanic lineage tradition that will bring the mystery temple into a burgeoning humanity. The Source of all that is as HaShem APPEARS to Abraham in this parsha. The tradition in aggadah/legends tell us that Abraham carried a sacred jewel around his neck. This stone was the same that Noach had which lit up the ark. This Jewel is the very sod/mystery level of Torah and the temple tradition. It is not only the deepest level of interpretation, it is the fountain, the ayin(70)that connects all together. It is the substance of the Har/mountain and Abraham on the Har Moriah says that “behar HaShem yeraeh“(Beres.22:14). This means that in or on the mountain, HaShem will or is seen. And HaShem appears! Tradition tells us that these few words point directly to the manifestation of the third holy Jerusalem temple. Zohar tells us that this one is not a building like the previous two were. The sacred jewel that Abraham wore around his neck was originally the sapphire book encased in gold that the angel of secrets/Raziel gives to the first Adam. This fountainhead goes from special personage to personage down through the history and it changes form a number of times as spoken about previously. It is the key to the very soul of the Zohar, which tradition tells us is the very soul of the Rashbi, the author of the Zohar. Three strangers visited Abraham, and Torah does not name them for us but there are many midrashim and commentary on who they are. We are told that two of them go to do some other work in Sodom and with Lot . Then the Torah tells us that HaShem appears to Abraham. This has led to a lot of speculation about who the third of the stranger angels could have been. Only with a deep study of the princes/Sarim that hang in the world of the throne can a person begin to fathom these mysteries. We do know that it was the kindness of our Abraham Avinu that helped bring in these beings. We are told in Beresheit 21:33 that Abraham planted an Eshel/tree at Beer Sheba. This tree is directly related to the vine of Solomon in the holiest of Songs, Shir HaShrim. Beer Sheba, the “well of seven”(seven is eternal cycle) the ayin gedi(from song of songs), which is the the fount of the kid and the tree of life are all about the deep roots of a temple tradition of initiation. The ability to understand the events of our days is directly related to an individual’s connection to this vine of initiation. In the last post someone asked me about the doom and gloom folks and their “visions” and speculations we find on the world wide web. Remember the web is a manifestation of the spider which is the mazal along with aqrav of this month of Chesvan, number eight(8 legs). The spider helps weave the temple. What we perceive of this world of unfolding miracle is based on out depth of connection to the roots of the Eshel Abraham. Then we can understand that the promise of HaShem to Abraham and Sarah is vast and beautiful and bountiful. It is way grander then what many interpret it to be. The Sepher haBahir directly links the eshel/tree-vine of Abraham to his aspect of Chesed. "All this Abraham did"and he planted an Eshel..."and he called there in the name of HaShem, Source of the universe" He would share his bread and water with ALL the people of the world...."Bahir 191(trans after Kaplan).Chesed, the aspect of Abraham, has the value of 72 and this means that all peoples and languages find the sacred fount to enrich the depths of their own traditions. As stated before we maintain the fact that the mishkan that holds the mineral roots of Abraham’s Eshel is present and sanctified this very day. The Sepher Yetzira tells us of the Hebrew letters-one above three, three above seven and seven above twelve. So the mystery of the three mother elements and the three letters aleph,mem,shin is directly related to the three who visited Abraham at Mamre. And the Source appeared. Again at the roots of the Holy Tree.

The sacred Fount/Tree of abraham
In this week in Torah we have incredible seed events. The three “men” visit Abraham.
