Time Zones: The Month of Tammuz : Cancer

Time Zones:
The Month of Tammuz : Cancer

Tammuz is one of the three negative months of the year: Tevet, Tammuz and Av. Kabbalah teaches us that the course of history transpires as a result of the cyclical energy processes of the year rather than because of physical events. Therefore, by looking at the time at which each moment in history occurs, we can better understand why it happened.

Tammuz is controlled by the Moon. There are seven plants that the Kabbalistic Astrology is based upon: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. Each planet controls two signs, except for the Sun, which controls only Leo (Av) and the moon, which controls only Cancer (Tammuz).

Mars controls Aries (fire) and Scorpio (water)
Venus controls Taurus (earth) and Libra (air)
Mercury controls Gemini (air) and Virgo (earth)
Jupiter controls Sagittarius (fire) and Pisces (water)
Saturn controls Capricorn (earth) and Aquarius (air)
Moon controls Cancer (water)
Sun controls Leo (fire)

Because the sun and the moon control one sign each, an unbalanced situation is created in each of these months. This imbalance causes the crab, the symbol for the month of Tammuz, to walk sideways rather than forward and backward. This also gives the month of Tammuz the opening for Cancer to begin, and it is the only month that is named after a disease.

On the seventeenth day of Tammuz, Moses came down form Mount Sinai with the Tablets, bringing to the world the power and energy of immortality. However, the Israelites and the mixed multitude were waited impatiently for Moses to come down from Mount Sinai and built the Golden Calf, the sight of which caused Moses to shatter the Tablets. This moment was marked by a clashing of two energies: the power of immortality and chaos with suffering, depression and death.

Sartan (Eng. Cancer), in Aramaic is made up of two parts: Sar – to remove and clean all the negativity, and Tan – chaos, hatred, animosity and any aspect of negativity. The power of the month of Cancer is to remove any problems or negative situations in our lives that might cause this disease to come to our lives.

According to “The Book of Formation” by Avraham Avinu, the month of Cancer was created by the Hebrew letters Chet (which created Tammuz) and Taf (which created the Moon). The moon is unlike any other celestial body, as it changes its position each day, but remains visible nonetheless. It begins each lunar month as a thin scythe and reaches its fullest brightness on the fifteenth. From the moment that the fifteenth day is over, the light of the moon begins to wane, and this cycle repeats itself each month.

This explains the Cancerian’s high sensitivity. They seem to need more love than other sign. The moon’s waning causes them to feel that there is always something missing, and this leads to depression. The cure for these low moments is caring, sharing, loving, and giving to others. In addition, Cancerians must do their best to let go of the past and see beyond ill feelings and wounds. This is the only way for them to find truly happiness and love.

Cancerians are very domestic people. Their motto is “my house is my fortress,” and they are strongly connecting to family and home. They love history and archaeology – anything that reminds them of the past. They have a sensitive stomach, as this is the body part they hold in the tension and unsolved emotional difficulties.

The misfortune which takes place during these three months is the result of negative cosmic forces. The hazards and pitfalls that many of us encounter can be traced to our having come under the influence of these periods of negative energy. Hence it is wise to be cog-ni-zant of the danger zones and careful to avoid them.

Certain times and places speak strongly of an underlying force responsible for a world of order and beauty. Yet we cannot close our eyes to the pain, violence and chaos hat make their presence so cruelly felt. The problem rests with Di-nim ( ungovernable energy)  Also in the Eastern philosophies during these particular 3 months the yang energies prevail creating much unbalance.

During the months of Tammuz, Av and Tevet, the energy of the Force is such that there is no revelation of the Skekhinah, the feminine force of God, and the appropriate cosmic vessel which insures the manifestation and stability of the force. At such times the dynamic intensity of the force is so severe that no vessel is capable of making contact with, or handling the energy of the force, which thereby manifests as Di-nim(ungovernable energy) in the universe.

The Force might be aptly compared to the energy which enters our homes through the electric wires. Controlled it is of immense value, uncontrolled it can be destructive and downright dangerous. Switch on a light, for example, and you receive a wonderful blessing, but stick you finger in a socket and the same energy provides you with a horrible curse.

The Israelites as well as  metaphysicians understand that Celestrial forces are governed by the activity of man. Thus instead of being pawns in the cosmic scheme. as other ancients had believed, metaphysicians  understand man to be the prime interface between the terrestrial and the celestial forces of the metaphysical domain. Only when the forces are in balance do the heavens declare their majesty and influence.

During Tammuz, Av and Tevet in the absence of the Temple, the energy vessel of the God the Mother, the violence that threatens our planet cannot be halted. Within the framework of Tammuz, Av and Tevet there is very little that the average person can do to influence the cosmic forces. Certain individuals of extraordinary spiritual ability can channel these forces and Kabbalists as well as other belief systems have specific meditations designed to reduce the intensity of the Force during such times and thus make it beneficial. Having accomplished these meditations, the Skekhinah transforms the immense power of the force,thus permitting the Kabbalist to function even in an environment of violence and chaos.

The Force must under go a reduction in order to operate as a viable circuit of energy here on earth. Variations in the revealed energy of the Force influence the beginning of new ventures, inasmuch as the lifeblood of a new venture and its potential success depends on the ability of the force to make itself manifest. During Tammuz, Av and Tevet, the Force is in a state of Kat nut, a decreased level of activity, hence the increased chance that a new venture will have a negative outcome.

Those born within such time zones are those who have been chosen with the challenge of helping generate and share tremendous light force within this plane of physicality…and this is accomplished by a proactive lifestyle via not only by words, but by deeds as well…so one must walk the talk.

Again the roots of most misfortunes can be traced to the cosmic danger zones. Armed with the knowledge of these zones, we can transcend the realm of chance, luck, and indetermination, and bring order, fulfillment and supreme tranquility to our lives

Time Zones; Iyar The Taurian Light

We Kabbalists are cautioned to avoid lunar Taurus, a month of abstention and traditional mourning customs, when contemplating new ventures.  Yet, as is true of all cosmic danger time zones, there is one day in Iyar when the light force is strong creating a propitious time for new ventures.  In Iyar this is the 18^th day…A DAY OF POWER.

So, now in reviewing the “why” regarding these time zones:  The misfortune which takes place during these times is the result of negative cosmic forces.  The hazards and pitfalls that many of us encounter can be traced to our having come under the influence of these periods of negative energy.  Hence it is wise to be cognizant of the danger zones and careful to avoid them.  Certain times and places speak strongly of an underlying force responsible for a world of order and beauty.  Yet we cannot close our eyes to the pain, violence and chaos that make their presence so cruelly felt.  The problem rests with Dinim (ungovernable energy).  During monthly danger zones the energy of the Force is such that there is no revelation of the Shechinah (the God the Mother energy which assures the manifestation and stability of the Force)  At such times the dynamic intensity of the Force is so severe that no vessel is capable of making contact with or handling the energy of the Force, which thereby manifests as Dinim in the universe.

Taurus and Scorpio have much in common.  Both are months of universal negative energy, yet both contain days of immense positive energy.  Moreover, of all the signs of the Zodiac, they alone have been given additional names.  Scorpio acquired the Hebrew name “Bul”, which points to the idea of exactness, “on target” or “right on,” appropriate for Scorpio’s internal energy-intelligence;  Taurus has the distinctive pre-exilic name “Ziv” meaning “brightness” or “light.”  It is this attribute of “light” which is both the challenge of lunar Taurus and its saving grace.

 It was not by coincidence that the commencement of the Temple by King Solomon took place in the month of Taurus, and that its completion occurred in the month of Bul, which is the eight month sign of Heshvan and Scorpio.  These two months were carefully chosen by King Solomon to begin and end his endeavor.  Make no mistake in considering the possibility that it was his building contractors who could not begin earlier, or who by chance completed its construction n the month of Bul!

King Solomon, the Wise, a Kabbalist, understood the cosmos and the methods by which to tap its power.  Solomon knew that  completing the Temple in the month of Scorpio (Bul-exactness) would provide an infusion of spiritual energy-intelligence sufficient to fuel the Temple for some four hundred years.

 Regarding the eighteenth day of lunar Taurus, the Ari, Isacc Luria, in his discussion of this period (known by its code name Sefirat ha Omer), states that “this day” is the revelation of compassion by mystery of the code name Elokim Haim, living Lord.  An attachment with Binah (the supernal mother and 3^rd energy-intelligence on the tree of life, Leah) consciousness takes place.  This idea is revealed by another coded energy-intelligence know as the Sefirah of Hod, the 8^th energy intelligence on the tree of life.

 The Zohar points to the enormous power of Taurus in it’s discussion on the Tabernacle;  It is written:  “And the lord spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the Tabernacle in the first day of the second month, etc.”  The Revelation on Mount Sinai correlates with the power of the sun (Ze’ir Anpin),  the Tabernacle to the moon (Malchut).  The second month is called Ziv, an allusion to the unusual circuitry between Ze’ir Anpin (Sun) and Malchut (Moon), when the worlds altogether found themselves in grand unification.

 The extrinsic and somewhat unruly atmosphere of this extremely high-powered time provides fair warning to those who are incapable of dealing with such a huge infusion of celestial energy.  Yet, spiritually minded individuals are strongly advised to begin a new venture on the eighteenth day of lunar Taurus, for success is all but assured.

 With Kabbalah we establish continuity and freedom from doubt by revealing the inner sanctum of the cosmos and by tapping its energy for the benefit and well being of all humankind.

The Four Wives Club: Angel Message for the Month

In ancient times, there was a rich merchant who had 4 wives.  He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies.  He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.  He also loved the 3rd wife very much.  He’s very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.

He too, loved his 2nd wife.  She was a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant’s confidante.  Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.  Now, the merchant’s 1st wife was a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household.  However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, “Now I have 4 wives with me.  But when I die, I’ll be alone.  How lonely I’ll be!”

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, “I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you.  Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”  “No way!” replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.  Similar responses came from the 3rd and 2nd wife.

Then a voice called out : “I’ll leave with you.  I’ll follow you no matter where you go.”  The merchant looked up and there was his first wife.  Greatly grieved, the merchant said, “I should have taken much better care of you while I could have !”

Actually, we each have 4 wives in our lives;

4. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it’ll leave us when we die.

3. Our 3rd wife represents our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.

2. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we’re alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

1. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure; but in truth our real self.

This is Doc reminding you that the true inner you, which never disappears is your “soul”.

Kabbalistic Astrolgy: Gemini / Sivan 5773

The Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Formation) says, “He crowned the letter Resh and created Mercury in the world and Friday in the year. He crowned the letter Zayin and created Gemini in the world and Sivan in the Year.”

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which was created by the letter Resh. Resh is an expression of negative energy, energy of lack and poverty (Heb. rash).

Mercury is the communication planet. The word Kochav (Mercury) is built of two parts: Caf-Vav, numerical value 26, the same as the Yud Hei Vav Hei. And Caf-Vet, numerical value 22, the amount of the letters in the Hebrew aleph-bet.

The Zohar relates to the Hebrew letters as explained by Rav Berg in the book The Power of Aleph-bet as tools to reveal spiritual energy and draw the Light of The Creator to the world.

The most important cosmic event that takes place in Sivan is Shavuot (holiday of the weeks). From the Exodus from Egypt (Passover), we go through a cleansing process of 49 days called the Omer, seven weeks in which each day corrects one of the 49 degrees of negativity created in this lifetime and previous ones.

The fiftieth day connects us to Binah, the sefirah that stores the Light, and serves as the reservoir for all the wealth, health and happiness and more – this day is Shavuot.

3,400 thousand years ago, when Kabbalah and the Torah were revealed on Mount Sinai, all the Light that was revealed brought about bila hamavet lanetzach – Immortality. What is the connection between this historic event and our times?

Both Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and 1,500 after him, the Ari, explain the meaning of this holiday. Rabbi Shimon says that each year, on the holiday of Shavuot we have the opportunity to get life insurance – not the conventional kind, but real insurance, that guarantees a life free of chaos until the end of the lunar year.

Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai says that the holiday of Shavuot enables us to connect to immortality. During the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai, we reached the end of our correction, and were freed from the Angel of Death, from all chaos, and from Satan consciousness. The Light enabled us to achieve complete control of any aspect of our lives.

How can we reconnect each year to this primordial power that was revealed 3,400 years ago? By studying the whole night.

The letter Zayin created the month of Sivan. What is the secret of this letter? When the Creator wanted to create the world, He looked at the Hebrew letters, which are the DNA of our universe, and used them to create the world. The letter Zayin has the numerical value of seven, and the power of the Shabbat, the day the creation of the world was completed, so she has the energy of completeness.

Those two letters together, Resh that created Mercury and Zayin that created Sivan, create the Hebrew word Raz – secret. Now it is all up to us and how much we act upon connecting and activating those powers in our lives.

Gemini is an intellectual air sign. Mercury, which rules Gemini, is the planet of communication, causing any person (including anyone that has some Gemini in his chart) the desire to know.

Curiosity is the key word for Gemini. They bear an innate desire to learn, to gather information and to study for life. A Gemini knows that the more information he has, the more choices he has, and knowledge is power.

Geminis struggle with focus, choice and commitment. Anything requiring consistency or persistence poses a problem. They are known to be Jacks of all trades and masters of none.

Geminis love communication. They make wonderful teachers, lawyers, salesmen, and excel in all areas of the media – radio, T.V., stage, and more. They love freedom-based occupations that involve driving, flying and travel in general. They can be writers, journalists, and often hold more than one job at a time.

Gemini gets along with air and fire signs. Their correction is to focus. To choose one path, one teacher, the true path in life, one partner, not to jump from one subject to the other, that is how a Gemini can become a channel to share with others what they know and understand.

 Shalom Aleichem…

Peace be upon you

The Power of Speech

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day one fellow met the great philosopher and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”. “Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Triple Filter Test.”. “Triple filter?”. “That’s right,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?” “No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and…”. “All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t know if it’s true or not. Now let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?” . “No, on the contrary…”. “So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him, but you’re not certain it’s true. You may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?” “No, not really.” “Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?” This is why Socrates was a great philosopher & held in such high esteem. Friend, use this triple filter each time you hear loose talk about any of your near & dear friends.

This is Doctor G. reminding you to always think before you speak.

MY LIFE INTERRUPTED FOR THE BETTER

MY LIFE INTERRUPTED FOR THE BETTER

     May 4, 1988 was to many a day as any other however for me this day would be a turning point in my life.  Tonight I would be meeting a person who would interrupt my life for the better.  Although I had been in communication with this person for months, we had never shared an actual photo to date.  We enjoyed endless hours of reading literature particularly on spiritual matters and listened to peaceful music for hours.  We both are fond of Secret Garden, husband and wife new age musicians.

As the Sun set I began feeling more anxious for soon I would be meeting this elusive person who would change my life forever.  I had reached the location in which we would meet and positioned myself comfortably in order to relax as much as possible.  Being as we had never actually seen each other, I began wondering as I had done many time in the past, what he would look like.  Would he have dark hair?  I thought he might for the energy I felt was that of a dark haired Prince. There was something very exciting indeed in anticipating our initial meeting.

A few hours  passed and he had not arrived.  Should I be worried, perhaps, but I wasn’t,  for I knew he would arrive as expected.  I gazed out the window and noticed that the sky was clear and bright stars danced throughout her canvas.  A gentle wind caused the branches of the tree outside to sway beautifully as if announcing the arrival of my much anticipated Prince.

I began to feel an unusual tightening in my abdominal area and called for the nurse.  She came in and checked me, then comforted me by saying, “I will return with the doctor. ” As the doctor entered the room my little guy was showing his crown.  Within 30 seconds his head came forth and then with another push Kirk Michael  arrived as expected.  The birth was an easy one for both of us and now after many months of anticipation my son was here cooing like a little koala bear.

The nurse placed Kirk in my arms and we both immediately acknowledged one another.  Tears welled up in my eyes as he wrapped his tiny fingers around my forefinger.  It was love at first sight.  There was not much need for verbal communication, for it was as if we both knew what the other was thinking.  From that day forward I truly knew what joy was and I was no longer in pursuit of happiness.

Kirk is now 25 and we still share a unique bond.  To this day we telepathically communicate, often finishing one another’s sentences or stating something that the other is thinking.  We totally respect and trust one another as much as two people can within this world.  Kirk is an old, wise soul and I often describe him as the reincarnation of my father from another life.   Although Kirk is my child, since his birth he has contributed stability to my life, which in all appearances was chaotic.  He is the one person I have come to know who I admire more than any other soul I have encountered on my life journey.

The Lord’s Prayer

The Author of the following interpretation, the late, Brett Gray was an extraordinary man and contributed much during his life here on this Earth. Master Gray was an exceptional Geologist during his youth and was stricken with Polio during his prime rendering him quadraplegic. Rather than giving up he served humanity by becoming a remarkable Metaphysical Teacher and Mentor attracting famous and interesting people from around the globe.

 

OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN

We Humbly praise Thy Holy Name,

We thank Thee for Thy Glorious Love

Which, on each morrow will be the same!

 

HALLOWED BE THY NAME – I AM –

The most sacred, secret Power

The voice of Soul can use for Man,

The Light Who guides his every hour!

 

THY KINGDOM COME that we may know

Thou hast a Plan for fumbling man,

A Plan which shows which Way to go

To be as One with our I AM!

 

THY WILL BE DONE in all we do,

For tear-filled hearts have tasted joys

When we behave like Suns of You

And shut our ears to Earthly noise!

 

ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN,

Thy Light will shine from every heart

Fed by Love from the Sacred Seven

To make this Earth a star apart!

 

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD

To feed our Souls and make us wise

That we may raise the walking dead,

Who lead such quarrelsome, unholy lives!

 

AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES

That we may have another chance

To taste Thy Truth ‘n save the masses

Who cannot see the Karmic dance!

 

AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US

We learn that mercy shown is Love returned

when most we need It’s healing balm;

For We are Mercy’s cup of measure!

 

LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

For this, O Lord, we yearn no more,

When Tempter speaks, let Akasha mention

That all those paths we’ve tried before!

 

BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL

Which empty minds and hearts produce,

Bit by bit our wills, so feeble,

Do learn that Love be put to use!

 

 

FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM Eternal

That blended the rose with the lion;

Let It slay the dragon infernal

And Lighten the shades of Orion!

 

AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOREVER

Will blast a crescendo of Beauty

Through all barriers of man’s endeavor

To Light his cross for Love of Thee!

 

Amen, Amen, Amen!  So be it!

Encounters with Angels and Other Beings of Light

Encounters with Angels and other beings of Light

Angel Letters — Angela Sexton of California

My name is Angela and I am thirteen years old. I have read many books on Angels and I want to share my story. When I was around nine my uncle was murdered and I knew this before anyone told me. While I was playing a warm breeze swept over me and I felt something just wasn’t right. Later that evening I overheard my parents talking and saying that he had been killed.

A few days later I dreamed of my Uncle and his eyes were so beautiful and clear. I have never seen so much light and what I remembered most was his eyes and it is just as they say “The eyes are the window to your soul.”

A few days later I had another dream and this time my Uncle was sitting beside my bed in a chair. He said he could stay for the night for the Men in White said that God said it was all right. His voice was so soft and the room was pleasantly warm with his presence. Before he left he implored me to be good for spending time in the purgatorial caverns is no fun and can be worse than any experience encountered here on earth. When he left the chair in which he sat glowed and until this day when I sit in it I feel warm, loved, and safe.

Angel Letters — Caroline Hart of Ohio

My first encounter with an Angel occurred when I was 16 years of age. I had just recently graduated from High School and was invited by a family member who lived in Iowa to come visit and stay for a time. I decided to go so I caught the Greyhound Bus in a small town in Ohio with the first stop and transfer being Cincinnati. I was a young naive country bumpkin who apparently appeared nervous and under my breath I was saying, “Oh Lord please be with me for I am scared.” Before I even finished the words I heard a voice say, “May I help you?” When I turned I saw a seemingly tall black man with large soft brown eyes, dressed conservatively and he seemed to glow! I had my ticket in my hand and he said, “let me take a look — well child it appears we will be sharing this ride.” He picked up my luggage and escorted me to the correct bus and we were seated. He then said, “just rest child for it is a long trip to Chicago — just sleep and dream.”

When we arrived in Chicago it was chaotic and I was required to transfer to another bus again. The layover was three hours which could have been dangerous for a young naive teenage girl like myself — however this kind stranger once again carried my luggage, made certain that I ate something and watched my luggage while I freshened up in the ladies room. As I reflected back on this kind stranger — he never ate — didn’t have any luggage of his own — and never went to the men’s room.

Once again the kind stranger escorted me to my bus. This time he smiled and said,” Child, all will be well from here, the bus goes directly to Davenport and your family will be waiting there for you.” As I got on the bus I thought, “Oh how rude of me — I didn’t thank him and I don’t know his name.” Only a few moments had passed but when I turned my strange friend was gone and was no where in sight. Now of course I realize this gentle being was indeed an Angel — apparently the Most High realized and provided guidance along with protection on this possibly intrepid journey.

When I shared this beautiful experience with my family they appeared afraid and began scolding me for they said he could have been a pimp,a rapist or worse. They were at a point were they had lost all their magic concerning life and were very negative concerning such matters — but I didn’t care what they said for God did indeed send an Angel to watch over me!

Caroline also shared that she appreciated the Lord sending her an Angel bearing the image of a black man for her family was very racially discriminating and after this experience she accepted that we all are of the same essence and the color of the flesh is only how we choose to interpret or label it. To this day it pleasantly amazes me how the Creator sends the appropriate angel(s) bearing the presence respected within that particular environment — serving not only physical needs and naturally spiritual but psychological as well.

Roger’s Savior

It was a special evening. Roger was on his way home for a long-overdue night out with his wife. While he was driving his company truck on the freeway, he noticed traffic coming to a stop ahead. He began putting on his breaks when he noticed a Toyota 4-Runner coming behind him very fast. Too fast to be able to stop. In an instant, he was struck from behind at such force that his truck overturned and slid into the middle of oncoming traffic. As his truck toppled, his tool box, which was in the seat next to him, exploded open and all of the tools came flying out, smashing into Roger’s body. The blinding lights of the oncoming traffic were headed strait for his overturned truck. He closed his eyes and listened as they all screeched to a stop and missed him by inches.

The next thing Roger knew, there was a man standing at the truck telling him to hold on, he was going to get him out. He reached in and helped Roger out of the truck. Once out, the stranger ran his hands over Roger’s body, asking him if he was ok and was anything broken. To Roger’s amazement, he seemed fine. No broken bones. Once the man observed that Roger would be ok, he said “You are going to be ok. I have to go now, but help is on his way.” The man then walked away and disappeared.

Traffic was at a complete stop due to this accident. The freeway was completely shut down, and no one could go anywhere, yet this man was nowhere in site. He did not get into any car, he simply walked away and could not be found.

People began to crowd around Roger, and the ambulance eventually arrived to take him to the hospital, where he was later released with just a few scratches.

What Roger later found out, was the man who came and helped him out of the car was a special “Angel.” After gathering at a friends house for a party a few months later, the woman who owned the house was talking about her son who had died in a car accident. When she shared pictures of her son, Roger exclaimed “That’s him!” The young man in the picture was the young man who pulled Roger out of the truck that fateful night.

Interestingly, when the young man was killed in the accident, he was crushed to death. This explains why he ran his hands over Roger’s body to see if everything was OK once Roger was out of the car.

The woman gave a few pictures of her son to Roger so that he could have something to refer to whenever he needed to be reminded of the Angels in his life.

Amy’s Daddy

Five-year old Amy had been worried about her Daddy. He had been called away on a special assignment for the Army. Because of this special assignment, he was unable to contact Amy’s mom or Amy. They had gone so long without hearing from him, and Amy was beginning to think something bad might have happened to him.

One night while sleeping, Amy was awakened by something glowing in the corner of her room. She sat straight up in bed. What was it? As she watched, the glow became larger and more radiant. Amy saw something in its center. Why, it was a figure of a woman.

The lady moved closer to her, somehow bringing the light with her. She sat down on the side of Amy’s bed and took hold of Amy’s hand. Amy wasn’t scared at all. “Amy, listen to me,” the beautiful woman said. Her voice was like gold, all shimmery and lovely. “Amy, you have been very worried about your Daddy, but you don’t need to be afraid.

Daddy! This lady knew Amy’s daddy. “Where is he?” Amy asked.

“He’s in Mexico, on a special mission just as your mother told you,” the lady explained. “I am watching over your father and I’ll make sure he comes home safely to you when his job is finished. You help your mom while your waiting for him. All right?”

“Yes!” Amy replied. The bright figure then faded away.

A few weeks later, Amy’s daddy came home safe and sound.

Michelle’s Journey

Michelle was a teacher and driving to school one fall morning. There was a white van ahead of her. Farther down she could see several ten or eleven year old boys ready to cross the street to go wait at a bus stop.

Suddenly, a car zoomed past Michelle on the right. Horrified, she realized that the boys were in the middle of the street up ahead. All but one had already passed the center line; the last boy was slower. He obviously thought he had enough time to cross in front of the van and Michelle. But his view of the speeding car to her right was blocked – and Michelle realized that it would hit him.

Michelle felt so helpless as she was too far away to do anything. She began to pray and speak to her Angels. What she saw next was hard to describe.

It was if an arm literally pushed the boy from behind. His back arched, his head was thrown back, and his feet seemed propelled forward by someone behind him. In a second or two, the boy was safely on the sidewalk. He was looking back to see who had pushed him as Michelle drove by. He had a shocked expression on his face as he realized that there was no one behind him. No one he could see, that is.

“EARTH ANGELS” Homeless man’s life an example of the least of these.

Every Sunday he brought her a rose. A small red rose. She didn’t know where he got them. But every week last spring and summer, he walked in the church door with a rose in his hand. For her.

It was touching. But more than that, it affirmed something. How two people could be so different, could come from such distant places in life, and here in this church it didn’t matter. She had an address. He didn’t.

You could be that woman or you could be any one of Bobby Lyle’s friends and acquaintances on the street. Yes, Bobby had a way of making people feel like members of the human family. They felt that way before and after Valentine’s night when the man who lived mostly without an address fell asleep under a downtown Kansas City overpass and froze to death.

Robert Eugene Lyle was known around downtown. He’d drop by City Hall to chat with City Council aides. Council members knew him and appeared to respect him. He served on a board with church and city bigwigs. When talking about the plight of homeless people ~ he preferred they be known as “urban sojourners” ~ he was articulate and reasonable.

Although soft-spoken, he came to be viewed as a voice for the voiceless. No matter the issue, he pressed the belief that people regardless of their station in life or their luck, ought to be treated with dignity.

People also knew Lyle for his singing voice. Almost every Sunday at church Bobby Lyle sang at services. Some people called him Velvet because his smooth tenor brought to mind Nat King Cole.

Bobby’s address was wherever he dropped his sleeping bag. Muscular and fit, he apparently felt comfortable outdoors. Bobby was an independent spirit and his ethos was, “I carry my own pack and survive outdoors.” He had a quiet self-confidence. Indeed, No life is wasted when someone is able to move the hearts of others!

Easter and Passover; A Formula for Freedom

Easter and Passover; A Formula for Freedom ( Easter Sunday,  March 31, 2013  — Passover / Pesah 15 Nissan 5773 through 22 Nissan 5773 or March 25, 2013 – April 2, 2013 )  

The traditional story of Passover tells of slavery, exile, and eventual freedom for the Israelites from the land of Egypt.  Traditionally, this slavery has been depicted as brutally hard work under slashing whips, with an abundance of blood, sweat, and tears. The ancient Kabbalists, however, brought to light some interesting facts that have largely been overlooked by Rabbis, Priests, and scholars alike.  On a literal level, the, the Passover story tells us that the Israelites were in bondage in Egypt for 400 years. They were slaves and the sons of slaves–captives of the hard-hearted Pharaoh, ruler of Egypt.

Then there came a great leader named Moses. On a mission from god, Moses won freedom for his people. He then led them on a long and arduous journey including that famous detour through the Red Sea. Eventually they arrived at Mount Sinai, and had a date with destiny.

But here’s the interesting part: the Israelites are tasting freedom for the first time in centuries, yet they begin whining and complaining the moment it gets a little hot and dry in the desert. They even beg Moses to take them back to Egypt!

Are we to believe the Israelites actually had it pretty good in Egypt? Was life in the desert worse than slavery in Egypt?

Something isn’t right here. The literal story doesn’t make sense. Why year after year, are we supposed to recount this questionable story at the holiday known as Passover?

        UNRAVELING THE CODE

The entire biblical story is a code. Egypt is a code word for our ego and reactive behavior, so Egypt is a metaphor for humanity’s incessantly reactive, self-seeking nature. Any aspect of our nature that controls us is Egypt. 

It’s the oldest master-slave relationship in Creation. And it takes many forms. 

We’re imprisoned by the ego-based aspects of our material existence.

We’re held in bondage by our reactive whims and egocentric desires.

We’re enslaved by our reckless impulses.

We’re held captive by our careers, jobs, and shallow relationships.

We’re prisoners to other people’s perceptions of us.

We’re incarcerated by our ego’s need for other people’s acceptance.

We’re hostages to our constant need to outdo and one-up our friends.

Our ego –the Satan*, the negative inclination–is our true taskmaster…the challenger–and the ego is so good at doing its job, most of us don’t even realize we are in bondage.

(*In Kabbalah Satan is pronounced Sa as in sat or Saturn and tawn…“Satan” not Say-tin.) 

                                   ACCOUNTABILITY

As long as they were slaves in Egypt, the Jews were not accountable or responsible for their lives. They were victims. If any chaos fell upon them, they did not have to look in the mirror and accept blame, it’s much easier to be a victim (slave) than it is to accept responsibility for life’s problems.

The victim mindset was the real slavery that was occurring in Egypt. The exile of the Jews led to genuine freedom and control over the cosmos, but with freedom and control there comes responsibility–and that was an uncomfortable prospect for the Jews. This is the spiritual significance behind the Jew’s constant complaints and desires to return to Egypt or Ego.

It was much easier and is for many in this time as well to say that events were and are simply “beyond our control.” the reality is that no event is beyond our control but our reactive nature blinds us from this freedom and this responsibility. All of a sudden we are challenged to look into the mirror and blame ourselves for the chaos and hardship that befalls us. But if we can accept this responsibility, we can have the power of freedom and control over the cosmos in the palm of our hand.

                 MORE CODES

The rites and rituals connected to Passover are the cables by which spiritual current reaches our lives.  Let’s examine the inner spiritual significance behind some of the more common concepts of Passover.

Throughout history, the people have been ignorant of these explanations behind the rites and rituals of Passover. Consequently, the proper meditation and intent was lacking when they were carried out. This is why pain and suffering has been the trademark of the Jews for centuries. Each of us should appreciate that we now have Kabbalah to at least explain the actions and the spiritual forces behind them.

     ABSTAINING FROM BREAD

During the Eight Days of Passover, bread is replaced by Matzah. Bread is an all powerful tool in Kabbalah. Bread is a direct link to our internal reactive nature and ego. Just as bread has the power to expand and rise, our ego has the ability to expand and motivate us to rise to great heights in the material world. Matzah is like bread without ego, so that we can free ourselves from the slavery of reactive behavior and rise to great spiritual heights in our life.

                      CHARITY

Charity according to Kabbalah is not dependent upon how much one gives but rather how much one gives of himself, relative to his personal situation. In other words, charity that is given for tax purposes, plaques on a wall, names on a building or honorary dinners are worthless in the spiritual realm. Many people do positive actions out of concern for what other people will say about them. Real charity is when we go outside of our comfort zone and there is a true element of sacrifice. Second, a charitable action must be concealed without any reward or recognition for the ego. The highest form of charity is when a person gives without ever knowing to whom he gave and the recipient does not know who gave to him. These kinds of acts bring genuine blessings to the giver.

                    TEN PLAQUES

Scientists and Kabbalists agree that reality consists of ten dimensions, each of which is expressed in our own spiritual make-up. In other words, our ego and our dark impulses encompass ten grades of negativity. There are 50 gates or levels of negativity. Once a person reaches the 50^th gate, he is evil personified. There is no turning back. His opportunity for change and transformation in his present lifetime has vanquished.

The biblical story speaks of Ten Plaques that were unleashed upon Egypt. The ancient Kabbalah explained that this really means that ten blasts of energy were required to wipe out the ten levels of negativity that dwell within our human nature. Once the ten levels are removed, we achieve genuine freedom from the ego and the self.

                       EASTER

Just as Passover offers the opportunity for freedom likewise Easter does as well.  Shortly after the vernal equinox is the mystic death and liberation. The Easter sun which at the vernal equinox commences to soar into the northern heavens after having laid down its life for the earth, we have the cosmic symbol of the verity of resurrection. It is an annual symbol to strengthen our souls in the work of well-doing that we may grow the golden wedding garment required to make us sons and daughters of God in the highest and holiest sense. It is literally true that unless we walk in the light as God is in the light, we are not in fellowship.  Easter Day marks the resurrection and liberation of the Christ Spirit from the lower realms, so that we may also continually look for the dawn of that day which shall permanently free us from the me sheds of matter, from the body of sin and death, together with our brethren in bondage, for no true aspirant would conceive of a liberation that did not include all who were similarly placed.

So essentially we realize that during this time of the year a window of opportunity is offered for all of us to take advantage of in one application or another to free ourselves from the bondage or slavery of our ego, our lower self, the Satan energy or the evil inclination and by doing so Satan’s grip of death is broken and suddenly we find ourselves on equal footing with our opponent. This does not mean that the resister has been destroyed but we have regained our footing on the playing field.

Remember the challenger has no Light of his own so he depends entirely on our reactive behavior to appropriate this means.

Satan’s favorite weapon is time. Satan uses time to separate cause and effect. In other words, if we react and behave negatively, Satan uses time to delay the inevitable consequences. This time delay confuses us. We start thinking that we are actually getting away with our wrongful actions.

Likewise when we stop our reactions and become proactive sharing people, the fulfillment owing to us is also deferred by time. We start believing that good behavior goes unrewarded.

To compound the confusion the next time we react negatively, Satan manipulates time once more and rewards us with the fulfillment that we earned from a prior positive deed. We begin to associate reactive behavior with pleasure. It appears as though selfish behavior generates fulfillment while good behavior produces chaos.

Satan can delay the consequences of our actions for months, years, decades, or even lifetimes. The result? Life appears to be one random, chaotic mess! A brilliant and potent strategy indeed. 

So during this time an opportunity is afforded for us to escape the prison of our ego, our fear, and our insecurities. Modern physics tells us that energy never dissipates. The same spiritual energy of freedom returns every year at this time. Time is like a revolving wheel. The freedom that became available over 3,000 years ago in Egypt comes around again on this exact date. Events do not pass us by like a one-way freight train. We move through the wheel of time as it spins, revisiting the same moments each year. The only things that change are the “set decorations” that give us the illusion of a new year and a different life.

I choose to believe for I know all will be well in the long run. One of Satan’s favorite sayings is “I’ll believe it when I see it”’.  It is imperative that we believe for it is our belief that creates Miracles!

In using Qabbalistic Numerology we can interpret the energy vortex of Passover and Easter… an energy which was created in the Universe within the astrological force known as Aries in the time zone of Nissan before the Earth was inhabited and this cosmic energy was created for all humankind to tap into not just a select few or any one particular group.

Purim—Mystical Insights into an Ancient Event

What I would like to address at this time is the most joyous holiday of all Jewish Holidays — Purim.  The reason I have such a great affinity to this particular holiday is the fact that it can bring a complete concept of what joy, tranquility, and contentment can really mean for us.  However this holiday for one has been mistaken and described as a Jewish Holiday which is the first corruption in its nature. Shortly I will point out as to why, Purim was never intended nor should had it been accepted as one relating just to the Jewish people. Furthermore the idea of Purim has turned into a masquerade party and taking such an important and significant event in history and enveloping into the story of masquerade, disguise, and making it that this is what this joyous holiday is all about is a travesty not only of justice to the world but a complete deprivation of adding joy to the exclusiveness of chaos to all peoples of this planet Earth.

To begin on this journey of joy let us begin at the beginning and that is no event whether it be recorded in Torah or other texts, or an event such as Purim which followed the Torah 1000 year later the event of revelation on Mount Sinai over 3,400 years ago in which that event seems to have no roots in Torah which is contrary to the truth because we are not concerned about chronological events or how they evolved from one year to another.  The point that I am making here is that the event of Purim, this important event which has been superficially described as an event which the Jewish people overcame Haman and the people who were destined with their consciousness to destroy all the Jewish people at that time and consequently the joy of the victory of the few Jews over this massive enormous, empire known as the Persian empire at that time is for the Kabbalist –a complete mis-statement and misinterpretation of what the events whether they appear in Torah or where otherwise were intended.  An event from a Kabbalistic point of view such as Purim is merely an indication that for the very first time the event of victory was indeed the taking advantage and tapping into those sources of the energy of the light force of God by which the event could take place. So the joy of this holiday is not the event that eventually and ultimately evolved at that point in time from Mordechai and Esther, but rather this event and the possibility of it becoming an event have long existed at the time of Creation.

The celestial bodies that rule over the month of Pisces in which this event took place, namely the planet Jupiter, Zedek in Hebrew, and Dagem, the astrological sign of Pisces which were created at the time of creation long before the event of Purim. Long before there was a Jew living on the face of this earth — but going right back to the time before Adam even appeared for the first time that this event was already potentially locked into creation.

No event in history whether it be in Torah or otherwise did not evolve or emerge as a direct result of some physical miracle that might have taken place at that time, but rather that that physical miracle in this particular case of Purim which was the result of Mordecai and Esther overcoming the hordes of Haman and the eminent death to all Jews. This event to potentially bring about this kind of victory had long ago been there in a potential state and therefore what we are witnessing and what we observe during this month of Pisces is only the revelation of the power that could bring this event about, The Good Over Evil, the masses of evil not necessarily overcoming the few who represented the aspect of good. What Mordecai and Esther were all about is already concealed in that very book of the description of the event of Purim.

That book that provides us with the information on the historical event that took place some 2400 years ago is called Esther. Now we assume incorrectly unfortunately that the reason this book is referred to as Esther is because she was the significant character in the production of this event and nothing could be furthest from the truth.  The book is called Esther because it originates and is a derivation of the word satarah which means concealed, hidden, and non-observable. Yes, the name of the heroine is Esther, but why was she called Esther when in fact she had another name, (her Jewish name was Hadassah) but she was also called Esther. Not only to bring to the attention of all of the Jews but to all of mankind that if we are to overcome evil in whatever form it takes it will require not the powerful and might of physical force, but rather the invisible, the immaterial, the nonphysical powers that are available. Unfortunately they are not available when we seek it or when we would like to have it, but rather when they are available to tap into and take advantage of this awesome energy that can bring the dominion of good and right over the evil.  When that opportunity presents itself as it did in the month of Pisces, and in that month Mordecai and Esther grabbed this opportunity to tap into this kind of energy and that when you have securely tighten that energy into the life of mankind on this planet then you can be assured that good will prevail. 

That good will have dominion for all of mankind and not merely for the Jews. This book of Esther from a Kabbalistic point of view, which is the significant aspect of Purim which includes so many of the concealed bridges, so many of those abstruse connections by which not only the Jews but all of mankind can have the opportunity.  This opportunity comes only once a year and in fact it comes only during this month of Pisces and it only is available from the 11^th day of this month of Pisces to the 15^th day.

The fundamental thought in creation was lay-teive, was to endow this entire Universe with the beneficence of the Light Force of God. Yet as many critics have stated nothing could appear to be the furthest from the truth for if we are merely to examine the events since the sin of Adam over these past 6000 years chaos is the rule of the day as opposed to those very infrequent days or months or even years that we can honestly and truthfully remark that this has truly been a time without Chaos. History teaches us over and over and over again that mankind lives in chaos and is so far removed from the beneficence of the light force of God which should shower and embrace us with contentment, with good fortune, with joy.

Furthermore this event of Purim was merely a guide to indicate when this kind of energy is available for mankind to tap into, the event is insignificant it merely pointed up to the idea that when individuals like Mordecai and Esther became enlightened with the idea that within these five days, within this framework of time, mankind could tap into an awesome energy in which to create events of this nature, the events of Purim to occur in our daily lives no only during this month of Pisces but rather take place in every month of the year. So Purim is not once a year, but what is lonely once a year is when, when does this kind of awesome energy that can produce an event like Purim in which good has dominion over evil, in which the minority can overcome the majority of their enemies.  Again this energy is only available 5 days, 5 days in the month of Pisces/Adar.

During Purim there is a particular light force that presents itself, that light like a star shines at a given and particular time like your news program it’s not available at the time you need it or when you want it there is a Calendar of Events and so being prepared and being aware that these events and the cosmic Energy Force of the Light Force of God is available it behooves not only the Jews but all of mankind to take advantage of this opportunity.

Now for those of us who say well I didn’t know, the Kabbalists answer is, “Ignorance of the Law is still no excuse” The fact that you did not comprehend the secret of Purim, the fact that you could not eliminate chaos in your life because you did not know is not a reason that chaos will no longer exist in your life. One may question why this secret was well-kept.  While the word Esther means concealment secret, — why wasn’t that revealed so that all of mankind could tap into that kind of energy that is available so that we may undergo a complete transformation of observing evil as the dominant and prevailing factor and force over all of mankind.

For the non-Jew, this is an event that happened to the Jewish people, they were the ones evolved! Yes, the Jews were entrusted with this information beginning with Abraham in the Book of Formation which is the oldest document available to mankind today. Purim is not an event of tradition, Purim is another opportunity for mankind to exercise his/her freewill and his longing for the removal of chaos from his or her life, to draw and tap into those forces and only those forces that are of a non-material none physical nature, that can assist us and support us in this ultimate drive, the ultimate aim, of creation by the creator God so that we have the opportunities each and every single day to avail ourselves of that awesome light force that we can only tap into during these 5 days.  Once we have acquired that type of energy then we have the opportunity to make that energy work for us each and every single day of the year until the next year rolls around again.

The idea of masquerades, just look at how the energies of Satan the challenger, feature the factors that operate in our world so as to fester and expand the confusion and chaos that envelopes all of us, how this whole idea of concealment turns into a masquerade, why so that we become completely diverted away from the truth, away from the essence of what this holiday and event is all about. So now it is turned into a masquerade party, As long says Satan as you people don’t reach out and grasp the truth I am perfectly happy to permit you to have at least once a year this beautiful masquerade party which after the party is over all is finally forgotten and certainly our personal lives have in no way been enhanced, we are back to the same chaos that existed one moment before the event and one moment after the event. That is how Satan operates, not only in so far as Purim is concerned, but in the way every event is concerned.

Every Kabbalists motto is “what does it do for me today?”  How do I benefit now from the observance of this holiday, for the indulgence in this holiday, what does it do for me, how does it enhance my life?  This power that we speak about on Purim that enabled Mordecai and Esther and a handful of Jews that overcame this vast Persian Empire was for the first item revealed as an energy that was created at the time of on the fourth day of Creation when the celestial bodies were placed into the heavens and in this month of Pisces already established was these four beautiful days by which we could and should tap that kind of energy, not just the Jews for there were no Jews at the time of Creation but all of mankind to take advantage of the flow into the cosmos and subsequently to all of mankind, those who know how to make that connection.

So Purim and Kabbalah is about is the opportunity whatever emerged and evolved as part of the ritual is certainly not ritual, they are the tools and the methodology by which not only the Jews but all of mankind equipped with this weaponry against the forces of evil and chaos, all of mankind can draw to themselves using this methodology.

What is this methodology that we can tap into this awesome energy .When we read Megilat Esther and the literal translation is not the book of Esther, this is a corruption. Megilat, the root and source of that word reads and means the Revelation of Esther, of the Secrets.

The meaning of Megilat Esther according to Kabbalah

It was seventy years after the destruction of the first temple and the time had come to begin building the second temple. The Light of Redemption was beginning to reveal itself.  But the people were not ready.  When this occurs it is a stage called dormita.  The state of dormita happens when Zeir Anpin leaves Malchut just as during sleep when the soul leaves the bod.  In Aramaic dormita means asleep.

According to the Ari when Haman first approached King Ahasverus to ask his permission to kill all the Jews, the king spurned the idea “don’t you know that whoever attempted to hurt the Jews was destroyed.”  Haman who was a great astrologer and warlock explained to the King that although the God of the Jews is powerful he was asleep thereby leaving the Jews unprotected.  The Jews could be destroyed before the Light awakes.

Haman was the tenth generation descendant of Agag the lst King of Amalek. When King Saul was anointed the first King of Israel, one of his first responsibilities as King was to destroy the nation of Amalek. His fatal failure was that he allowed King Agag to live for a day before he killed him. In that last day before his death King Agaf impregnated a woman who ultimately continued the seed of Amalek. Haman was the continuation of Amalek – he was the reincarnated soul of King Agag. That is why it is written in the Megilah, “Haman ha’ Agaggi, the Agaite because he was really King Agag.  Mordechai was the reincarnation of King Saul. 

According to Kabbalistic wisdom the nation of Amalek represents doubt. The whole story of Purim therefore is really the story of the battle and defeat of our own doubt.

Prior to publishing the final decree against the Jews, Haman consulted with the stars. He wanted the right time for the destruction where there would be the greatest darkness so the Jews would be unable to resist and be lead to destruction like sheep to the slaughter.  The day he decided upon was 13 Adar. Haman made his discovery on 13 Nissan which according to Kabbalists is astrologically the day when the destiny of battles and conflicts are being finalized for the coming year.

On 13 Nissan Haman published the decree that went out to all the 127 states of the Persian Empire that all Jews were to be killed on 13 Adar of the coming year. When Mordechai discovered this he began to mourn and asked Esther to approach the King, her husband to change this decree.  Esther and Mordechai both were Kabbalists.  Esther knew that she could not affect such a change to cancel the decree in the 1% — unless there was change in the 99% — the cause.  The decree came at the time of dormita, the separation between Zeir Anpin and Malchut. Additionally at this time there is an immense outpouring of the Light of Wisdom in the Universe. When the Light of Wisdom is revealing itself – the vessel is not ready that lack of unity manifests in disaster.  The only way to eliminate the potential danger is to create enough Light of Mercy that it – the Light of Mercy – becomes the vessel to contain the Light of Wisdom and allow it to be revealed.

Esther instructed Mordechai to assemble the Jews and request they fast for 72 hours in addition to sharing with each other and giving charity. The purpose of the fast was to shut down the desire to receive for the self alone and fasting can create a tremendous energy surge. The acts of charity and sharing awaken the energy of the Light of Mercy.

Haman assembled the Jews and instructed them on how to effectively use the 72 names of God to connect to the Light. Each person gave an abundance of charity and as many gifts to one another as feasible to activate the Light of Mercy. These 72 hours took place during Pesach (Passover), which is actually the real time that the cosmic seal regarding wars and conflicts was finalized for the entire year. Haman’s calculations were incorrect for it was not finalized on 13 Nissan.

The unified actions of the Jews were so powerful that it woke up the energy of Zeir Anpin and connect with Malchut, the Kingdom – our world.

Haman had 365 advisors to connect 365 levels of negativity. Haman knew that as long as Mordechai was alive there was uncertainty in his plan to destroy the Jews.  The Ari explains that Mordechai represented pure light, like a pilot light that will exist in the universe even in the darkest times. Haman wanted to eliminate him so that there will be no chance for redemption.  The fifty cubit gallows that Haman wanted Mordechai to hang from represented the fifty gates of impurity. Although he wasted no time in his attempt to destroy Mordechai, the Megalith informs us that it was too late because that night the King could not sleep. King Ahasverus represents Zeir Anpin. As a result of the actions of the Jews, Zeir Anpin was awake. As the spiritual saying goes, “As above so it is below.”

The sequence of the Hebrew letters Caf Hei Taf destroyed Haman who was bent on massacring the Jewish race. He and his ten sons went to great lengths to exterminate the Jews.  However Mordechai and Esther used the power of the 72 names of God to destroy Haman and his sons. The Scroll of Esther is a DNA code of humanity. Where the scroll mentions the actual names of Haman’s ten sons, three Hebrew letters must be written very small and interspersed within the ten names. These three letters spell out the year 1948. In 1948 ten Nazis were hanged at the Nuremberg Trials. Haman’s ten sons were hanged as well according to history. The Kabbalist would surmise that Haman and Adolph Hitler were the same soul and Haman’s ten sons were Hitler’s ten henchmen who were hanged at Nuremberg were of the same evil source. Nazi Julius Streicher shouted the following words to the world’s media just before he was sent to the gallows: “Purim Fest 1948!” It is interesting that Hitler’s reign of terror ended in April of 1945 during Pesach.

Exactly a year after the miracle of Purim, the sages of that time realized that on the 14^th and 15^th of Adar the same energy that was revealed on Purim had appeared again – this energy was now impressed on the universe and can never be erased.  In order for us to connect to this power on Purim we follow a simple formula – we read from the Megilah, we donate to charity, share gifts with one another and we feast.  Let us resolve as we enter this energy of Purim, to place in our consciousness the determination that we will indeed bring about long sought after goals of humanity by fulfilling all the requirements utilizing the incredible and significant energy source of Purim. This energy vortex is a grand opportunity to bring mercy, forgiveness, protection, and joy into your life!
