Daily Zohar #362 – How to stop oil spills

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -362.

Tikkun 21 – 103

When the soul has no blemishes, it is as part of the Shechina.
As it is said in Song of Songs 4:7 “כֻּלָּךְ יָפָה רַעְיָתִי, וּמוּם אֵין בָּךְ.”
“You art all beauty, my darling wife; and there is no blemish in you”

If impurity tries to come closer to a pure soul, it dies
Numbers 1:51 “וְהַזָּר הַקָּרֵב, יוּמָת”
“And the stranger who is coming near is put to death”
The one that is not from the pure side can not come near the holy because the high light will consume his soul.

The Torah police will not take the person to court and execute him because of coming close to the light. It is the impurity that will die and disappear.

Numbers 4:19
“וְזֹאת עֲשׂוּ לָהֶם, וְחָיוּ וְלֹא יָמֻתוּ, בְּגִשְׁתָּם, אֶת-קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים: אַהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו, יָבֹאוּ, וְשָׂמוּ אוֹתָם אִישׁ אִישׁ עַל-עֲבֹדָתוֹ, וְאֶל-מַשָּׂאוֹ.”
“But these do to them, and they have lived, and do not die in their drawing nigh the holy of holies: — Aaron and his sons go in, and have set them, each man to his service, and unto his burden,”
Numbers 4:20
“וְלֹא-יָבֹאוּ לִרְאוֹת כְּבַלַּע אֶת-הַקֹּדֶשׁ, וָמֵתוּ”
God gives Moses and Aaron specific instructions on handling the elements of the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle. The priests will take them down and wrap them before the Levites come to carry them. If they see any part from the Holy of Holies they will be swallowed and die. In this case, the priests and the Holy of Holies are the right column. The Levites are from the Left column and if they see the Holy tools, the high energy of the supernal right column will consume them.

The sin of Adam and Eve happened before they became totally pure with the light of Shabbat. They connected to the Tree of Knowledge Good and Bad and they lost their potential ‘immortality’. The negative side swallowed their light and they found themselves ‘naked’. God told them that if they connect to the other Tree, they will die and that is what happened. They brought mortality on themselves and all the generations that followed.

Isaiah 42:8
“אֲנִי יְהוָה, הוּא שְׁמִי; וּכְבוֹדִי לְאַחֵר לֹא-אֶתֵּן, וּתְהִלָּתִי לַפְּסִילִים”
“I am YHVH, this is my name, And Mine honor to another I give not, nor my praise to graven images.”
The energy of the name YHVH will not pass to impurity.

When the soul is connected with love and purity to the YHVH system, it can draw from its light. The actions that we do from our loving heart control the energy in the body and bring the YHVH to fill the four chambers in our heart. Only then we can overcome the negative side of the Liver, Spleen and Bile from taking control over us.

When the world behaves with hate and greed the earth, which is the body, brings out negativity in different forms. Volcanic dust, oil spills, toxic gases, tsunamis, earth quakes etc.

Keep your heart pure to connect to the protection shield of YHVH.

Daily Zohar #225 – My sister, my wife, my dove, my flawless one

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -225.

Tikkun 19 – 5

When we prepare for Shabbat and elevate it with our consciousness and actions, we are opt to receive more from its light.

Song of Songs 5:2 “פִּתְחִי-לִי אֲחֹתִי רַעְיָתִי יוֹנָתִי תַמָּתִי–שֶׁרֹּאשִׁי נִמְלָא-טָל, קְוֻצּוֹתַי רְסִיסֵי לָיְלָה.”
“…Open for me, my sister, my wife, my dove, my flawless one my head is filled with dew, my hair with the drops of the night”

The Zohar quotes this verse to show the desire of Zeir Anpin to connect to Malchut and deliver the light.

Our work fills our spiritual vessel with the light in the level of Zeir Anpin and on Shabbat it has the opportunity to connect to Malchut and transfer the light. We need to be ready with purity and rest to be able to receive that light at a higher state. The stronger the connection, the more blessings this light can bring in.

The unification of Zeir Anpin and Malchut is done on the holy level of Binah. Binah is a female aspect and it represents the desire of the Creator to bring the light to Malchut. A man and a woman’s connection on Friday night opens the gate for the light of Binah to fill the unification with blessings.

The verse above describes the light knocking on the door of his beloved one using 4 terms of endearment “אֲחֹתִי רַעְיָתִי יוֹנָתִי תַמָּתִי” . The first letter of each ארית sums up to 611, which is the same as Torah תורה, which is Zeir Anpin. This is to tell us that all connection should be following the guide of the Torah.

Friday night is also the best time for the father (as Zeir Anpin) to bless his children.

Daily Zohar #224 – Don’t close the gate, Adam

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -224.

Tikkun 19 – 4

The two aspects of the Torah, which are the Oral and the Written are represented by the 53 Torah portions that are read on Shabbat.

The inner courtyard of the Holy Temple represents the written Torah and the outer yard is the oral Torah. The gate between them is opened only on Shabbat.

The 53 comes from Song of Songs 4:12 “גַּן נָעוּל, אֲחֹתִי כַלָּה; גַּל נָעוּל, מַעְיָן חָתוּם” “A garden is shut up, my sister, my bride; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. “. Garden = גַּן= 53.

The gate to the Garden is locked during the six days and on Shabbat it is opened.

God created the world in a 6 day process and on the seventh day he opens the supernal gate to provide energy to his creation. The opening of the gate on the first Shabbat was supposed to stay open forever. Because of the Sin, the gate closed to separate between the Tree of Life that is inside the Garden (inner courtyard with the Holy of Holies) and the tree of Knowledge Good and Bad outside the gate (outer courtyard).

Genesis 3:24 “He drove out Adam…. and put the flaming sword to keep the way to the Tree of Life.”

Adam’s sin corrupted the balance in the Garden of Eden and created separation between the upper and lower.

This is the explanation to Song of Song 4:12 “a fountain is sealed”.

Since “the sin” we need to work to earn the Light. On Shabbat we receive the Light that we earned for the work we did during the past week. The light of Shabbat is given based on the individual spiritual vessel created that week. Our sages said “Whoever does the work before Shabbat, eats on Shabbat”. “מי שטרח בערב שבת, יאכל בשבת”

Shabbat is the resting day because it is all about receiving the light. Don’t close the gate to your light.
