THE MONOTHEISTIC LIE

The Monotheistic Lie

Avraham who is known as the father of nations is credited with bringing monotheism to the world 3500 years ago, opposing many gods and beginning a tradition that has spread throughout the world—but that is simply not true. There was never a question among the ancients as to the reality of the Creator of Heaven and Earth, but their contention was the Creator had abandoned creation into the hands of the stars and constellations to whom they prayed.

True it was the affluence that fed the earth was conveyed on the wings of angels attached to the tenuous little shafts of star-light that surrounds the world with illumination; were it not for the darkness of space a mantle of light covering the solar system would be visible. The ancients called the Creator—God of gods. The only question was: where is God.

Since God the Creator is neither physical nor spiritual therefore nothing in creation from the lowest physical manifestation until the highest metaphoric hint of the truth can encompass God; to the Creator creation is but a small thing, an easily done accomplishment. Perhaps, thought the ancients, God created but God left. Avraham came to announce to the world that God was present in the seven outer worlds of the solar system and in the four corners of this physical earth where life abounds.

This knowledge of God’s presence was conveyed through a single word: Echud/One; the Talmud-Book of Law breaks down each of the three letters, reducing them to numbers then extrapolates: the Oneness of God (Aleph/One) is in the seven heavens and the earth (Chet/8) and the four corners of the earth (Dalet/4). One is a philosophic idea portraying the relationship forged between Creator and creation.

The idea of One goes beyond the first of many—the dot progenitor of a line—One is unique and indivisible. Those who say God is the accumulation of all existence diminish the idea of One. The beginning and the end is comparable one to infinity; infinity is made up from many ones and one is the beginning of infinity—thus the comparison to God falters. There are no parts to God, only the effluence of God is divided up into particulars according to the needs of creation.

The Creator is not defined by creation in any shape, form or fashion; being beyond creation God is available to everybody and everything all the time everywhere. It is why we pray in our minds and in our hearts because this innate knowledge permeates the human experience. It is this knowledge that Avraham brought into the world by means of his life which was full of miracles giving witness to the fact that God was truly in the world.

This fundamental idea of Echud/One was later enshrined in what is known as the Shema Yisroel, a saying of six words—the mainstay of Jewish faith declaring: God is One. When religion came along 2000 years ago this pristine idea was adopted, usurped, expropriated and finally manipulated into something other than the truth: God is one among many instead of One indivisible.

Monotheism is the lie of religion trying to reduce the important message delivered by the father of nations, Avraham, who came to help the world from the darkness of chaos. It is the purpose of religion to hide the truth so the seeker will become reliant on a poor substitution—dogma. In the laws of charity, the greatest gift one can give to a poor person is a means to become self-supporting. The Talmud-Book of Law insists wealth is only found in the knowledge of the truth.

THE JUSTICE OF POLYGAMY

The fact that polygamy is permitted in the Torah is obvious from the many great men who had multiple wives beginning with the three fathers and the six mothers; though the practice was outlawed by the Rabbis with a 1000 year proclamation that ended a few decades ago, still the question remains as to the justice of polygamy—why is a man allowed to have more than one wife while the woman is bound to one man and no more? The Creator’s insistence on equality stems from the Six Days of Creation which were divided male and female equally, but if God is so concerned about equality than why the disparity?

The answer to this question is found in the Zohar-Book of Secret which states plainly: in the next world women will have multiple male mates. Generally when the Torah speaks in terms of the Next World what is meant is the spiritual realm where the soul migrates after the cycle of life on planet earth. The Zohar in relating the nature of heaven helps us understand the symmetry implicit within creation.

The symmetry of life is unbroken in every aspect particularly a thing essential as male and female. On the simplistic animalistic level one male is sufficient for many females to sire offspring, but human sexuality differs from animals that mate only when in heat while humans display complete spontaneity. In Jewish Law though the men is able to have more than one wife, it is the wife who decides when to copulate; one could only imagine the intrigues and alliances made amongst the women of the house to protect themselves against the man. If the system is good then why does the Zohar say in the Next World, the spiritual world, where the soul ascends the situation will be reversed?

The answer lies in the system of reincarnation which according to the Sefer HaGilgilim/Book of Reincarnations women reincarnate different than men who represent the line; men need to return over and over again until they reach their goal whereas women liken to the circle come back at will to be the Bat Zug/Appointed Mate of a particular soul. If the person with that soul merits in this world to find his Zug/Mate then good and if not than she will do something else with her life.

In the next world men will share one woman if that woman had volunteered many times with different souls. It is much more than juxtaposition between the physical and the spiritual, but rather an essential ascension into a way of being that brings the person closer to the Creator through life experiences on different worlds in different forms continually playing out the different possibilities endlessly.

QUARKS AND THE CABALA

The Cabala explains creation in four divisions accounting for the attenuation of light through myriad contractions ending in physical creation described by science as black holes, quasars, galaxies and solar system; nonetheless, the diversity of creation remains unexplained. Coming through the vehicle of contractive transitions the four divisions account for creation but not the mechanism necessary for diversity.

These four divisions are delineated in the Cabala as: light, vessel, garment and dwelling which are directly related to the four elements: fire, water, air and earth; the four seasons; the four directions; and the four species of life: inanimate, growing, moving animals and human beings able to articulate thoughts into speech.

The light is unable to illuminate without a vessel; this idea is represented in the fire of the sun which travels in darkness until reaching the atmosphere of the earth which allows the illumination of the sun to be revealed. Once inside the vessel the light becomes indistinguishable from the vessel which holds the light; vessel and light become as one, the description of essence.

This division of four is also represented in the atom. The electron which gives girth to the nucleus like a house surrounds the occupants while the nucleus of the atom is like the garment which clothes the body where light and vessel merge as described in the Cabala. Within the nucleus of the atom is the naked configuration of the human body as arranged in six quarks.

Particulars do not exist in the essence, only the potential of particulars exist; the sub-atomic quarks are theoretical finite expression of essence. Through the garment the body is seen and though the garment is not the body it is a good representation of the body, similarly the essences can not be seen but an inner configuration can be theorized – the quark.

Within the atom, the essence is expressed in the six quarks–a pair of triangles; these six quarks account for moment to moment functioning of the atom by transferring the light invested within the two triangles. Called Zira Unpin/Small Faces in the Cabala these two triangles are the prototype for the human body – the meaning of the Star of David, two triangles intertwined.

The two arms and the torso form one triangle while the two legs of the sex represent the inverted triangle – how the body works controls what is spoken from the center of the two intertwined triangles forming the mouth. The head is beyond quarks; it is where the light from the soul enters into the most ephemeral part of the body – the brain.

The Cabala describes precisely the mechanism for transference of light and uses this knowledge to explain how the intellect is brought into emotions. Dividing the body into three levels: head, torso, lower body plus the soul, mimics the construct of the four spirit worlds from whose symmetry the atom is built.

The knowledge of the Torah comes from the exploration of the spiritual realm upon which all the physical creation is predicated.

PORNORGANICS

Physical pain and the suffering of famine have blackened a world beautiful and lush with life. What is the meaning of a world where while some laugh with joy others experience unfathomable hurt? It is like a celestial joke where laughter and suffering dwell together. I remember as a kid taking turns playing chicken with a firecracker; he who held the firecracker too long would dance a chaotic dance and howl a violent song – in the end we grew up to be adults and went off to war.
America was forged out of war; our economy is based on war – we are the number one supplier of war materials and provocateur of violence throughout the world. When there is not war, America declares war on the world vowing to destroy the God-given herbs that make life bearable. This war on drugs, as it is called, has taken that which is natural and turned it into something evil.
The idea that sex is bad comes directly out of our 2000 years of Roman debauchery – a historic effort in search of a universal man-made moral behavior; in their democracy the weak and the unrepresented were to be exploited while the aberrant minority was to be marginalized. This axiom of fearing the unusual was extended to the earth where certain herbs had the uncanny effect of stilling pain and reviving the hungry.
Pornography, heroin and cocaine have a similar effect upon the average human being – giving life, taking away pain, and bringing out the hidden inner strength of the individual. If heroin was freely distributed without interference from governments, Afghanistan would be a thriving country wealthy beyond imaginings – people will give a lot to be free of pain. If cocaine is available, oil would be South America’s second largest export; famine could be eradicated throughout the world using cocaine as the initial thrust to strengthen the suffering populous while awaiting food. Pornography has not yet been banned, just reviled and yet pornography has ancient roots in helping people understand and deal with strange urges.
It seems obvious, God prepared these things for the human being to soothe the mind, strengthen the heart and help alleviate the difficulty of defining one’s own sexuality. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with sex, drugs or rock and roll. Anything taken to an excess is dangerous, but government intervention is patently malicious.
This wholly organic panacea of pornography, heroin and cocaine has been categorized as unsavory and morally corrupt by those who would replace it with abstinence, hypocrisy and their own rendition of herbal remedy. Cocaine, which the elderly use to sip in their tonic until prohibition came along, has been replaced by Coca Cola and instead of an organic drug like heroin to kill pain we have OxyCotin – but there is not enough of OxyCotin to go around so the price from the pharmacy to alleviate pain is kept high and only the rich can get it. Get it?
Meanwhile, the exploitation of women and children continues unabated while the war on drugs has become a vast network distributing government drug money to those willing to pimp government policies; pornorganics has been born through government intervention into the lives of people who have been pushed to the brink by this immoral low ground.

PLUTO

Rejecting Pluto’s planetary status for some manufactured apparatus that gives scientists the wherewithal to compartmentalize life is appalling. This little intriguing world with three tiny moons at the lips of our solar system is an important part of the whole and in a sense is the most important.

Though scientists only recently discovered Pluto the ancients knew of her existence from the very beginning of recorded time as written in the Zohar-Book of Secret. Called Eretz, this little world on the brink of the Seventh Heaven is the boundary of our solar system – the tenth frontier. The Zohar describes this world as being so distant that the sun looks like a star. Recent photographs have confirmed the words of the wise.

There are aspects of Pluto that mirror our own earth more than any other planet; for example, Pluto shows the greatest diversity of terrain other than the earth and has its moon Charon always showing the same face to her planet as does earth’s moon. The Talmud-Book of Law speaks about Seven Heavens and the Zohar describes and names each of the seven celestial bodies that intercept the heavens from earth until Pluto.

Pluto and earth are connected through the virtue of seven. The Zohar says that only the seven outer orbits of our solar system support life. It is because of the outer seven celestial bodies that we regulate ourselves according to seven days of the week; the remaining three, the sun, Mercury and Venus, represent the higher light, the intellect, whereas the outer seven are representative of the body of our emotions. The solar system, like an embryo, awakens first from the body; the head remains bent and unconscious until birth.

To discover physical similarities between the earth and her seventh planet might be expected as it says in the Talmud: all sevens are beloved – each is seventh from the other. The earth was divided into seven land masses: the continents which correspond to the seven outer worlds according to the Zohar written 2000 years ago. The seven day week and the seven notes of western music are related to this primal configuration.

The earth revolves around the sun every 365 days while Pluto’s orbit is 248 years equaling the number 613. Every human body is comprised, according to the Talmud, of 248 limbs connected by 365 vessels. The first five books of the Torah known as The Five Books of Moshe are the source of the 613 Commandments given to the Jewish People. These commandments are separated into two categories: 248 positive commandments and 265 negative commandments.

The six parts of the body: arms, legs, torso and sex are two intertwined triangles that form a mouth which produces speech. The cabalists differentiate between these first six attributes embodied by the first six planets from the earth to Neptune by noting the six corresponding sefirot all point in the same direction – towards the greater light – while the seventh turns. This turning is played out in Pluto’s interception of the orbit of her giant neighbor Neptune for twenty years out of Pluto’s 248 year elliptical orbit around the sun. Like Einstein’s Mobius strip (A Möbius strip is an intriguing surface with only one side and one edge. You can make one by joining the two ends of a strip of paper after giving one end a 180-degree twist) the orbit of Pluto is the self-imposed confine to the solar system related to the tenth sephira of Malcult/Royalty, woman, birth and speech.

For twenty years of the 248 years cycle around the sun, Pluto dips into Neptune’s orbit; this last happened from 1979 to 1999 – it will happen again in the year 2226 or 5986 in the Hebrew calendar, just 14 years before the year 6000 – beginning the Thousand Years of Woman and of Peace. These astronomical acrobatics are indicative of celestial speech – the culmination of the earth’s communication to the Creator through the universe in the same way the human being produces speech rendered through the emotions emanating from the six limbs of the body that can span space and reach another intelligent being.

The limb of speech is the mouth which has within it five aspects that divide the breath into articulated words: lips, teeth, tongue, pallet and throat. Scientific exploration has so far revealed three moons around the planet Pluto. One would suspect that there are two more moons lurking in the darkness circling planet Pluto. Both earth and Pluto speak; earth speaks the amalgam of thoughts continually produced by the human brain radiating into the space—the earth is the inner voice of the solar system while Pluto speaks into the beyond.

The Kuiper Belt, an endless array of chaotic frozen material drifting aimlessly around our solar system, is the outer perimeter to our world of ten dimensions. Referring to the surrounding light and the concept of Keter/Crown: Will and Pleasure from where the chaos of the human being is rooted, the Kuiper Belt is the perfect manifestation of that concept.

The communications emanating from our solar system are blended into a vibrato of infinite weave and endless vibrations; the articulated voice modulated from the billions of unique minds generating thoughts and words without end is delivered to the universe through the planet Pluto standing at the brink of chaos. These aggregated thoughts conveyed upon the breath of vibrations will go on forever. The universe is speaking to us and we are answering back.

Science only works in a dark box of finite definition; there is no room in science for metaphor and secret – science only believes what it sees even though they know that the physical universe comprises only four percent of the whole. Science is good at gathering information, but their interpretation and explanation is woefully lacking. It is hubris which allows them to dissect our solar system as if it were some dead thing

The ancients understood the configuration of creation to be the eternal testament of the Creator waiting to be unlocked. By limiting creation to the obvious and not the implicit presents a false picture of reality that inspires errant philosophies about life. like: survival of the fittest – in our time known as longevity. It was humility that the ancients practiced which gave them access to the secrets of creation and it is humility which will open the eyes of the innocent.

THE 1111 COMETH

In the spring of 5666/1906 a Rebbe asked of his students and followers to drink four glasses of wine because the Four Alephim had been revealed and were now coming to the earth. The Rebbe was referring to the primordial human figure called Adom Kadmin/First Man mentioned in the Cabala as being the prototype for creation. It was from Adom Kadmin that the first movements of creation are accounted for; called the three breaths corresponding to the ears, nose of mouth gives life to creation which later is imbued with consciousness as the eyes open. It is prophesied that from the forehead of Adom Kadmin would come the Four Alephim initiating the conclusion of the sixth and final millennium on earth corresponding to the six days of the week pattered after the Six Days of Creation.

In the spring of 5666/1906 a Rebbe announced the process had begun. The drinking of four glasses of wine at the conclusion of Pesech/Passover was a sign of Geula/Redemption as is the drinking the four glasses of wine at the beginning of Pesech during the Seder a sign of redemption. Pesech begins by celebrating the going out of slavery from Mitzriam/Egypt by proclaiming four future exiles: Babylon, Persia, Greece and lastly Rome. The four cups of wine after Pesech foretold of great calamity preceding the arrival of the Four Alephim produced from the forehead of Adom Kadmin bringing new light to the world.

But, how will the world know when the light has arrived?

The Creator, King of the Universe, sends proclamations to creation through prophetic text and visions, but God also sends signs directly to the people—for all to see and understand. On January 20, 2008 the nation receives a new leader that in Hebrew is called by the term Aleph as in the Aleph the first letter of the 22 letters Hebrew alphabet with the corresponding value of one. This Aleph/Leader will at that time combine with the 111th congress making the 1111 on the earth.

The Hebrew date on January 20th is Cof-Daled/24 of Tevet. There are 24 written books in the Torah; the word made from the combining of these two letters Cof-Daled/24 is Cad/Vessel. The implications of the circumstance of the inauguration of President Barack Obama, particularly the date, is a subtle sign from God that the new light has arrived and we, the world as a whole (since America is a conglomerate of all peoples throughout the world) are a fitting vessel to receive the light.

The Aleph/1 is considered to be the source of the 21 subsequent remaining letters of the Hebrew alphabet; the Aleph/1 is represented by a diagonal line dividing between two dots indicative of heaven and earth. The Aleph with a value of one when spelled out Aleph/1-Lamed/30-Peh/80 equals 111 together comprising the number 1111 is a clear sign to the people of the earth that the peace which arises out of conclusion has begun.

THE CROSS AND THE CABALA

Cross in Hebrew translates as: cut off from God. This coincidence of languages is actually not far from the truth; the cross, a symbol of torture used by Rome to inflict the maximum amount of pain prior to death, is also the symbol of the planet Mars—patron god to Rome. The cross derives its structure from the previous world known as Tohu/Chaos which was destroyed by God and later renamed the Mountain of Hatred—Har Sinai.

In the world of Tohu/Chaos the head is represented as a triangle: the first three of the Ten Sepherot: Chochma/Seeing represented by the right lobe of the brain related to the two eyes, Bina/Hearing represented by the left lobe of the brain related to the two ears; the third part of the triangle Daat/Knowing corresponds to the cerebellum at the back of the head opposite the forehead and is related by the two nostrils.

Along with the mouth these seven apertures gave birth to the seven characteristics of the body: the two arms and the body; the two legs, the sex and the lips on the mouth. In the world of Tohu these seven elemental lights lined up one behind the other giving essential life the form of the cross. The Cabala maintains that 288 sparks of cross-like forms fell into this world initiating physical life; likened to the sperm and the egg Mars represents the physical aggressiveness of man.

The empire of Rome relies upon the energy of Mars—the cross is their antenna. Josephus, the Jewish-Roman historian who witnessed the destruction of Temple forty years after the death of Jesus, writes at length about the horrific punishment of crucifixion dealt out by the regime, but never mentions a word about Jesus and the cross. Pliny, the Roman historian who witnessed the destruction of Mt. Vesuvius two years after the destruction of the Temple also writes nothing of the incident with Pilate and his court. Philo in Egypt is equally silent.

The fact that not one shred of credible evidence has been unearthed over these two thousand years is a disturbing fact particularly for the Jewish People whose population over this time has been decimated directly attributable to the cross and its story. The cross, the symbol of torture at the insistence of the Rabbis is inconsistent with historical fact plus is completely incongruent the ways of the Jewish People as dictated by the Torah.

Although capital punishment does exist in the Torah, the courts rarely invoke such a punishment causing the Talmud to say, if the courts put to death more than one person in seventy years the Rabbis were considered to be murderers. When the death penalty was used the law which governed the procedure demanded that the sentence be carried out painlessly. For example if a person were to be stoned, first he would be drugged, thrown off a high tower which would cause his death and then stones would be cast upon the dead body as punishment.

The story of Jesus on the cross is a lie at every level; it is the most inhumane action amid humanity—the cross envelopes everything which is wrong with this world. The primordial cross is the reason why animals line up one behind the other to mate; the human being mates face to face. In the Talmud-Book of Law while describing what part of the body that comes from seed of man and which comes from the seed of woman declares the face comes from God.

Where the previous world was called Tohu/Chaos our world is termed Tikun/Fixing; it is the fixing of the cross which will free us from its influence. As weapons get beaten into plowshares, according to the ancient prophesy, so too will the cross, the sign of death, be obliterated by the light.

ABORTION THE RABBIS

Of all the horrible wars that afflict this poor world, none is as heart wrenching as the war waged around abortion because it is a war based on compassion: one side compassionate about the child and the other side compassionate about the mother. Compassion is recognized by wise people throughout the world as the highest aspiration of the human being; when we war over compassion we war at the deepest level.

The basic problem confronting the two sides is a salient explanation and definition of the beginning of life. Does life begin when the seed enters into the egg mixing chromosomes or does life begin at some later date? Some contend that life begins at birth and therefore practice what others consider to be infanticide, but each according to their perception justifies the proclamation of their stand.

The nine months of pregnancy can be divided by trimesters, by viability or by points of time distinguished through sudden change; perhaps the most predictable of these changes happens at 40 days after conception when a sudden infusion of energy causes a change in the growth.

Interestingly, 2000 years ago the Rabbis who composed the Mishna, the first writings of the Oral Tradition, were very specific recognizing this 40 day juncture that life begins at 41 days; in addition, the Talmud, the compilation of the Oral Tradition, states: if a woman terminates a pregnancy before 41 days it is “nothing.”

Furthermore, it has been later explained by the Rabbis that what transpires during the first forty days of pregnancy produces the placenta, the afterbirth. To understand the strength of the Rabbi’s decrees stem from Talmud’s admonition that: stricter than the Rabbis is too strict. In other words, to have so much compassion extending even to the afterbirth is too strict.

By determining the precise time that life begins delineates a space in which the woman can exercise her prerogative to have or not to have a baby without incurring a social or spiritual stigma. Only after forty days from conception does the reality of abortion become even relevant. According to Jewish Law the mother’s life is more important than the baby’s life since the mother has established her life, but the baby has yet to enter into the physical world.

The travesty of abortion is in the rabbi’s hands for not making this information, which is corroborated by science, readily available to the general public. By keeping the public in the dark about the metaphoric meaning of sexuality and ancient information about the process by which we come in and leave this world is the biggest crime of all—to place a stumbling block before the blind.

I hope the rabbis will repent their selfish and arrogant ways and free the knowledge of the Torah from the shackles of religion. Until then, I say, abortion the rabbis.

The Torah

The Torah like the human body is broken up into four divisions: legs, torso, head plus an all encompassing soul; a replica of the Ten Sefirot derived from the Four Letter Name YHVH which was the original configuration engraved into the middle of the OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd to make place for creation. Within the bubble of creation all things can be broken down into four elements: fire, air, water and earth corresponding to the four varieties of life found in the world: inanimate (earth), growing (water), breathing (air) and free will (fire).

In a sense, everything in creation has a body of four components divided three and one; the atom with proton, neutron and electron and the encompassing glue that holds it all together; our universe divides into solar system, stars, quasars and black holes reflecting the divisions of four throughout nature. In the same way that nature is divided between the hard reality of gravity and the three ephemeral energies of electro-magnetic, weak and strong force, the Torah is also divided into the Written Torah and three parts of the Oral Torah: Talmud, Midrash and Zohar.

Speech is unique to the human being; the ability to translate ideas into articulated thoughts commanding a world where everything makes noise according to its nature. The human being brings new light into the world through the virtue of speech. The mouth of the Torah, Malchut the tenth of the Ten Sefirot, is the lips that pronounce the words of the 24 books of the Written Torah. According to the law, in order to perform the commandment of learning the Written Torah the words must emanate from the lips in an audible sound.

The lowest and the highest are connected by virtue of the circle which holds everything within like the skin covers the body or the light of the soul surrounds and infuses the body with life. The circle made from the lips of the mouth indicative of the primordial dot from which language arose is signified as woman; it is language that distinguishes the human being from the animal and the reason why human beings are able to command the world. Woman is the connector between generations, between heaven and earth, between God and creation.

The Cabala teaches that the mouth is composed of five parts: lips, teeth, and tongue which are visible and the pallet and throat which are hidden. The three revealed parts of the Oral Torah are: Talmud-Book of Law, Midrash-Book of Metaphor, and Zohar-Book of Secret; the two hidden aspects of Torah will be brought to the world by Moshiach. These three revealed disciplines were all written down at the time the Temple was destroyed 2000 years ago by the Roman Empire.

During this time when the Talmud, Midrash and Zohar were composed, great plagues killed many students who let these disputes turn into acrimonious discontent and eventually they were lost in a plague of hatred. Those who understood the meaning of the law knew it was not about right or wrong, but about boundaries and differences reflecting the diversity of creation. The Talmud is the legs of the Torah bringing the law down to the ground.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor goes beyond the law and what to do; the story of creation is about what comes from the heart. The laws of action are muted by the intentions of the heart. The Cabala states, though no mind can comprehend the existence of God, but the heart has an understanding that goes beyond logic—it is through the heart that God is grasped by creation. Avraham, the father to Arab, Jewish and Roman Peoples said in the Sefer Yitzira/Book of Form that creation was a product of the writer, the book and the story.

The Zohar-Book of Secret corresponds to the brain where a river of celestial thoughts is unending; the brain of the Torah as reflected in the Zohar is a compilation of ephemeral thoughts strung together like pearls on an invisible string that extends out to infinity. It is from the Zohar that all things make sense, her voice is calm, there is no argument as the Zohar often says: Cha Chazi/Come and See.

The Mishchon-Tent of Dwelling was built in the desert by Moshe and the first generation of the Jewish nation after leaving slavery for the purpose of housing the Ten Commandments implicit with the three Oral Traditions and the promise of Moshiach. The Mischon-Tent of Dwelling was first conceived by Moshe from the inside out beginning with the Ten Commandments; but, Betzalel who oversaw the building of the Mishchon-Tent of Dwelling began from the outside and went in. In this way the Mishchon-Tent of Dwelling was both male and female reflecting the essence of the form in each human body that God creates, Male and female and God blessed them.

The Koran

The word Koran in Hebrew has three different interpretations of the simple meaning of the word: the horn of an animal. The horn of the animal plays a major part in Jewish life from the very beginning when Avraham slay a ram instead of his son. The horn of the ram is blown every Rosh Hashana/New Year for over 3500 years as a way to cry out to God. The word Koran/Horn comes up in many metaphors like when Chana in gratefulness of the barren who bares a child after many years acknowledging to God saying, I will lift up my horn. The oil kept for anointing was kept in a horn.

The Cabalists arrange the meaning of Koran/Horn in three different categories: strength, essence and illumination; when Moshe comes down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments his face is beaming with Koran Ore/Horn Light. One of the attributes of the horn is being considered as nothing—therefore left behind with the carcass, but in Cabala nothing—that which is beyond being—is the highest of all. Strength, essence and illumination are qualities which all human beings strive to acquire and all three come out of nothing as seen in the three categories of the word Koran/Horn.

These three categories of the word Koran/Horn also have an application to the word Koran/Corner. The corner is also made of three components: two walls and the connection between; though it may seem a simple thing, theoretically the line between the two walls is as etheric as an infinitesimal point. It is the great strength through the essence that brings the fire of illumination melding two disparate planes together.

There is a practical implication to all this.

One of the purposes that the Koran was given to the Arab People was in order to make a corner out of the Middle East; Mohammad brought the Koran to the rabbis asking that the Arab and Jewish People, the People of the Book, should be joined together in coalition, but the Rabbis declined and as a result masses of Jewish population were extricated from that area until today. The rabbis thought the great wall of Torah was sufficient to stand by itself, but they were wrong.

The Jewish People became eclipsed in the shadow of the Koran and now 1500 years later a great animosity has arisen between these two brothers of a common father—Avraham. After Rosh Hashana and

Yom HaKipur comes the holiday of Succoth where it is obligatory to make a structure of four walls and sit beneath the boughs of evergreen branches; the structure must have at least two corners. The corners do not change or compromise, in any degree, the uniqueness of each wall.

When the Jewish People with the Torah and the Arab People with the Koran unite together through the love of brotherhood, then there will be peace in the Middle East.
