Daily Zohar #228 – What do you see when you look at your hands?

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -228.

Tikkun 19 – 8

The thought of the creator to create the material world formed a point, Y, י, opened with five extensions, H, ה, then extended as a line, V, ו up to the fifth level, Hod and formed the spiritual vessel. From that foundation the world was created.

That is the secret of Kamatz Katan (meaning small but big in the spiritual aspect) pronounced like the word כל, Kol, (menaing ‘all that…,’), relates to the Sefira of Yessod. It brings the light to Malchut like Keter bestows light on the Sefirot below it.

The line above represents the border between the unknown to the known that is defined with the name YHVH, the spiritual system below, and the element of time.

Kamatz represents Keter, Patch for Chokmah and Tzerei for Binah.

When the Kohen blesses the people he conceals his hands under the prayer Shawl. He starts with fists closed, then when he raises them above the level of his eyes and opens the palms, with five fingers in each hand in the aspect of the original five streams of light and the 10 fingers for the ten Sefirot.

The three verses that they recite from The Torah connect to the energy of the first time the light was initiated in the Menorah in the Tabernacle.

The hands are not just tools that help us do our regular activities; they are channels of Light and can draw down blessings from the supernal.

Daily Zohar #165 – Planting good seeds

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -165.

Tikkun #15 continue

Everything that’s manifested in this world starts with the process that begins with the upper three Sefirot, meaning spiritual cause. Keter is the first thought that stems from the light force that created the world (of correction), Chokmah and Binah are the supernal Father and Mother that join together to provide the energy for the lower level.
The upper three are pure and at the holiest level.
Zeir Anpin is Holy and continues the process of manifestation.
The energy of the supernal flows through Zeir Anpin and as we discussed in Daily Zohar 164, all that is holy must be protected from negativity.

The man’s seeds are holy because they started their manifestation process with a thought that comes from supernal Father and Mother and continues through Zeir Anpin to Malchut.

If the seeds are spilled or spread out in impurity it brings negativity that causes delay in the manifestation of a holy connection between the man and his soul mate.

A married man has the obligation to provide for his wife to keep the flow of holy blessings from the supernal source. These blessings manifest in better material sustenance.

Similar to that is when we do the blessing over the bread we should not throw the leftover crumbs because they have holiness that came from the blessing.

And beyond that, Torah and Zohar revelations are holy and therefore should be treated as such. Share your studies with others to bring the blessings of it to your life. (Use Email, Facebook, Twitter etc..)

Daily Zohar #142 – Choose your tree

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -142.

Tikkun #13

King David’s ten types of Psalms

In the word בראשית there is אשרי, as in the first word of Psalms, “Happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked…sinners…scornful..”.
The advice of the wicked is referred to the first advice that the Snake gave Eve and connected her to the Tree of Knowledge Good and Bad and the world of lies and chaos.
Psalms 1:1 mention 3 types of connection to negativity. Follow (walk) the wicked, stand by sinners and sit with scornful.

Psalms 1:2 point to only one positive way and it is “The desire for the Torah of YHVH” and live according to it day and night. This is the Tree of Life and the effect of choosing the right system described in Psalms in the verses that follows.
אשרי has the letters of ראש and י, meaning head of the י, which is the Head of the 10 Sefirot. The Zohar refer to Keter in the secret of אהיה אשר אהיה.
When we desire elevation using the Torah, Zeir Anpin to connect to Binah and Chokmah. This connection created a shield of Chessed and allow positive flow from the Light of Chokmah to Malchut.

Rabbi Ashlag teaches that choosing the right environment is the most important for the spiritual work and practical life. You can not be a righteous in Sodom and Gemorah. You have to leave negative places and don’t look back in order to save yourself.

Kind David chose this advice to begin the amazing book of Psalm. This is how important it is. Choose your friends carefully. Even if you put a pure water into a dirty vessel, it will still stay dirty.

Daily Zohar #127 – Finding God’s glory

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -127.

Tikkun #10 – continue

When the time will come to remove all idol worshiping, which are all aspects of desire for the self alone. Then will have the whole earth full of his glory. Isaiah 6:3 “מלא כל הארץ כבודו”.
“כבודו” usually translates to “Glory” or “Honor” This word implies revelation of light from YHVH.

In Leviticus 9:6 Moses instruct the Priests to follow certain process to bring revelation of YHVH. After they completed their actions, (Lev. 9:23) we see that YHVH revealed to the whole nation.

In Ezekiel 1 he prophet reveal the heavenly system with the angels like asking “Where is his place of honor..” “איה מקום כבודו”. The Holy Ari, explains that איה is for את יום השבת, “The day of Shabbat”.
On Shabbat we can connect to the upper three Sefirot and enjoy the revelation of YHVH.
Those three words are one of the important part in the prayer on Shabbat.
The א for אהיה and is the connection to Keter. יה are Chokmah and Binah.

Daily Zohar # 5 – Control the selfish desire

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

By the time Rabbi Shimon said that, an old man came his way and asked, it is written “And the sons you take for yourself…”. The old man said , it is inclusion, it doesn’t say “the sons, you will take” but “And the sons, which include the chicks and those sons that are in aspect of eggs.” but you can not take the ones that with the Kabbalah because their spiritual essence is of the higher mature level.

The old man told Rabbi Shimon “You are blessed, Holy Candle (Light). It is certainly so”
The sons are under the supernal mother with the essence of light from the supernal father and mother, which receives fro their lower seven Sefirot aand for that they are Kind (level of Chessed), Heroes (Gevurah), Torah Scholars (tiferet), Seers (Netzach), Prophets (Hid) and righteous (Yessod).
Kindnes from the level of Abraham , that corrected the Shechina to be a vessel  and a house for the light of Chessed in all five levels. And Zeir Anpin and the Shechina which is the light of Nefesh in the vessel of Keter. The light of Nefesh is the secret of the bird in the nest and wonders away from her place and merit to draw the light of Ruach  into the vessel of Keter and the Nefesh move down to the vessel of Chokmah. Zeir Anpin is called then her house as it said “In Wisdom (Chokmah) a house will be built.

The Zohar teaching of the nest of the bird brought  us a description of the connection to the  light. Every level we are is a nest to the spiritual dimension and we can strengthen it with connection to the Mother (binah) with the study of Kabbalah, which means dealing with the spiritual system and the ways it operates. There is only one spiritual system in the world but many many vessels. First connection to hold the light is through Chessed. This is done by acting with kindness to all beings. In other words Human Dignity is the foundation.

Each particle in existence contains the consciousness of creation, the thought of creation and the energy of it. The Light of the creator is in every thing around you, in every atom and even in whatever the scientists call “void”. Acting with kindness and dignity toward other particles around you creates unity with the Light of the creator.
This is your foundation and daily meditation to build the connection to the quantum (= God.  If you know that then you’ll know the secret of the Lulav shaking in Sukkot ).
Read this hundred times until you get tears in your eyes, then you know you are connected. Then  you’ll understand what is real love. (and I am in tears writing this)

Please add your comments below  if it ‘hit” you.
