The Succah is the Third temple/ 5770

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!
