In the Zohar-Book of Secret is recorded the following story: Rebbe Elazar and Rebbe Aba were sitting one night at the beginning of the evening when the dark fell upon the garden upon the water that they saw two stars one from here and one from here that interacted with each other and then disappeared. Rebbe Aba said, “Great is God in the heavens above and in the earth below! Who could know what these two stars were we just saw?” Rebbe Elazar replied, “We did not see; we encountered the peripheral event from what God does continually.”

Encountering a situation is different from seeing a happening; it appears from the story that Rebbe Elazar was responding to Rebbe Aba explaining the difference between seeing and encountering—seeing an event from within is different from witnessing the outer appearance. They then go on to speak about how sudden events, like the sparks which suddenly radiate from precious stones can cause a cure of sickness.

Their discussion never returns back to the two stars, but from what was said can be inferred a certain perspective relevant to UFOs.  

When I was a child eleven or twelve out on my paper route in the clear spring Northern California night years before light pollution became a problem I would busy myself looking at the stars; I had perfect vision and the night was clear and trembling with the plethora of incessantly blinking stars until one moved. I was always on the look out for meteors, but this one was different shooting across the heavens then suddenly stopping and changing directions. As I watched I saw this one lone anomaly was not alone; other stars removing themselves from their appointed place also shot through the heavens stopping at once and changing directions.

I did not know what to do so I knocked on the door of a house to which I was delivering. The man who answered the door was annoyed but agreed to follow me outside where he also witnessed the event and began calling to his neighbors. Soon there was a small amazed crowd watching a jet sent out from the local Air Force base trying to catch up with the shooting stars. As the plane lumbered along the little pins of light subsided and then were gone.

I had always felt they had made some sort of mark on me high above my head in the heavens communicated something I would never understand, but this was about more than understanding. I developed a curiosity about the heavens that no astronomer could satisfy and no physicist could explain. Only the Cabala and the Zohar-Book of Secret which the Cabala came to unlock has been able to quench the thirst of that experience and led me to a new understanding of the cosmos verified by the Cabala.

The Zohar-Book of Secret exclaims: all the stars in the heavens serve the earth; all the stars are commanded to shin upon the earth and nothing sprouts and nothing grows from the grass to the tress to the plants until the star looks upon the seed face to face, each star accordingly. This has led me to understand creation is the opposite way from the scientists who proclaim the Big Bang while the Torah sees the Big Evacuation.

The difference between the bang and evacuation is in the bang the world is shot out into the chaos of unexplainable empty space whereas the Torah speaks in terms of a hard light OreAinSof/LightWithoutEnd in which was engraved the beginning of creation to make a space by ejecting the hard light which fled leaving a line of star-light forever connected to the earth which floats within its womblike existence—slowly growing toward birth and consciousness.

In the Zohar-Book of Secret the earth is considered to be the sun and the nine planets, though written 2000 years ago the knowledge of the ancients far exceeded present knowledge which is only technological. Which brings us back to UFOs which are not technological at all, but rather the backside of the inner workings of the spiritual realm? Between the heaven and the earth are endless entities beyond our vision, but as the Talmud-Book of Law cautions: don’t mess with them and they won’t mess with you.
