OK,
so like every generation has a Tzadik that redeems it, they’re spread out, but
so in the scale of ‘all of history’ there is also one righteous Tzadik that
redeems all of humanity, throughout all time. In the Zohar, he’s called the
Young Man Metatron, who is the last Angel, but the 1st of the
Created beings, so he’s the first and the last. So he’s on top of all the other
creatures and also just below divinity so as to be able to connect the two. So
who connects all humanity to G-d is Yeshua, not a person in the flesh but
something internal to every human. Won’t find it in any club, synagogue,
church, etc. Only deep within, when you connect to the Yeshua in you, then you
have also contact with the Father, through the Son, no other way. So, not a
club, not a church you have to attend. Just you build a temple inside yourself,
in which to dedicate time to prayer and Torah study and meditation. The
innermost point is called Sefira Keter, from there Moshe or Daat is able to
draw down Divinity and pass it down to Bnei Yisrael. So the Angel pre-existed
Moses, but only materialized in Yeshua later, and Christianity is completely
disregarding the Torah way and trying to delve into mysteries and what not,
without proper building up of principles, if you will. One must approach it
scientifically and not delve into speculation and philosophizing. So when 1st
appears Yeshua, he comes to atone for Sin, to make a way for gentiles to also
be included, etc. by following the commandments and delving into Torah, and
Jewish living.
So,
each person is a microcosm of the universe. Every object you take, a rock,
plant or animal they are all infused with the same genetic code of the divine
name havayah. What we see is our own mineral part, our own animal part. When we
sacrifice an animal as instructed in Torah, for example, that directly has an
effect on diminishing animalistic drives. It’s all interconnected. If you hurt
a fellow human, you’re hurting a part of yourself. No matter how evil they may
be towards you, you have to forgive them and pray for them. When you pray for
others you elevate those fallen sparks up to godliness that seemed evil, but it
required the prayer of a Jew to elevate them and translate them into MAN, in
order to cause a request from the female part of the heavenly realm to the male
part, and they can unite. Yisrael and Ya’akov are two names for the same
person. In other words there are always paradoxes in all the sacred writings.
One rabbi looks at it this way and another that way, but they’re all correct from
their perspective. As long as they were guided by true research of the Sages
and didn’t speculate or fantasize, if you will. If they start talking about you
don’t have to listen to the Oral Torah or you don’t have to keep the Torah,
then it’s a red flag from the get go. Yeshua never said a word about changing
the Torah or following anything other than straight traditional Judaism. He
only wanted to give it an interior dimension and not just be a matter of rules
and regulations, though those are important also.
There
is always like a pairing situation in reality of the concealed with the
revealed, the external with the internal. We need to have a marriage of body
and soul, if you will and have them work in unison, and not have actions that
do not correspond to our high aims, etc. The first thing is to acknowledge
Hashem as the author of reality and then the rest takes care of itself. Any
other way you start out trying to figure things out will fail, than starting
out with the most fundamental principle and that’s G-d’s existence and that He
Rules and Governs everything. But then comes the inevitable retort of: “then
why are things disorderly and why does evil pervade,” am I right? That has to
do with the way Hashem manages reality. The fault lies in our lack of
understanding and not being able to grasp spiritual reality only having an
animal/physical, selfish perspective. So by Torah study and mitzvot then we
begin to put a spiritual influence on our being, to the effect of cancelling
out the selfish persona, because it sees no difference between being selfish
for material or spiritual reasons, so we can aim it towards the spiritual,
through a life of devotion and service to Hashem. Then the true picture will
emerge and we’ll see how nothing happens by accident. It won’t be 100% clear
because no one gets to 100% spirituality until the coming of Mashiach. There’s
a constant battle taking place. At any rate, that’s the point of being Jewish
is to live your life for Hashem, and fight the good fight, if you will. So
whether you were born Jew or you’re attracted to Yeshua’s teachings, it should
be the same. Previous generations only Jews had to obey and pay attention to
the True Reality but now it’s open for anybody because that is the final aim,
to bring back the scattered sheep of Yisrael so unless it’s open for all, then
how will they find them…
There
are two viewpoints to reality, from the bottom up or from the top downwards.
Before Yisrael was a nation and received the Torah (Hashem’s Revelation to
mankind) all people only saw things from the bottom up. This meant we saw the
stars, how they formed constellations, and began making calculations based on
their positions, etc. at the time of a person’s birth, etc. We called it
Astrology and it was pretty accurate, as things were. People born at a certain
time of year were more likely to act in such a way and so on, and they could
record it and it was true. But then came the Word of G-d by way of Moshe,
Yisrael’s leader and prophet, so they all heard G-d’s voice, saw thunder or
whatever it was and we got the Torah, or first five books of the OT, also
called the Pentateuch. It is of Divine Origin, and is the only thing in the
world that can be said to be so, so therefore by its study we start to tap into
the alternate view of reality which is from the top downwards, the way G-d
intended it until Adam sinned and flipped it around… It’s complicated, but we
are not to blame for our actions, essentially. We are victims of the
circumstances, if you will. So then Hashem makes a promise that Mashiach one
day will come and they will be in peace and harmony forever thereafter, etc.
They also call that the Messianic Era or from year 6000 to 7000 in the
spiritual scale—whatever that is in earthly years. So until then we have Torah,
and can tap into the true reality, and by applying, not merely studying for
knowledge but to affect our behavior and thought, then it will do what it’s
supposed to and you’ll begin developing your soul, because all we have is a
tiny spark but we can cultivate it with study, prayer, etc. and so be more
complete human beings. We only have the animal side of the equation covered,
but now we need to add the Torah side of the equation and then we’ll rise in
consciousness, there’ll be less hatred, less division, and it will speed up the
ushering of the Messianic era. Don’t need to leave the science and the material
advancement, just have to marry it to a Torah-based vision of the world and
reality.
The
Creation of the Worlds, spiritual as well as physical occurred in stages.
First, everything was Chaos (Tohu), meaning there is no order in the universe.
So next phase, the Creator starts arranging it and classifying it, etc. So
first thing is to separate the good and evil, the good was the world Atzilut,
and the evil fell down to the worlds BYA (Beriah, Yetzirah and Assiyah). Every
time there was another refinement and some good was extracted and the evil fell
down to the next lower world and so on down to the physical where all the
remaining evil fell, so in each stage there is an increase of evil and decrease
of good, if you will. So at the very bottom then G-d selected the Jewish people
to be the bridge between the upper and lower worlds. In the Messianic future
Divine revelation will be universal, so that role of bridge or connector will
no longer be needed. We will all connect to G-d directly. An analogy is the
moon, which shines through the night, meaning we are in spiritual darkness and
engaged in nothing more than idol worship for the most part (Eg: anything other
than G-d who is the only true object of worship). All things we must do to
serve G-d, whether it’s going to the temple to pray or going to the market to
buy groceries. Like I said, Jewish living connects us to a higher level than
we’re born with by default. Studying it for curiosity or whatever won’t work,
it must be integrated into your thought, speech and action. Normally those are
removed from each other but a Jew’s work is to integrate them all for the
service of Heaven and Hashem, nothing else we must do in life. The more we all
do that, the sooner Mashiach will arrive (or return if you’re a Christian).
All
that being said, verbally declaring “I have found Messiah/Jesus and am
therefore saved” is simply a ridiculous statement based on a false interpretation
of the matter at hand. If any Jew lives a perfectly holy life, says his daily
prayers, has a lovely Jewish family, etc. then it can be said they have found
Messiah. Finding Messiah is when any person connects to their innermost
essence, called Keter in Kabbalah, and is essentially one with G-d at that
point, so one can’t just declare “I am one with Keter”, they have to work up to
it through the daily Torah study, the mitzvot, etc. Then when you see your life
arranged in a holy manner, you’ve found Messiah, that’s it. To just go around
declaring I’m holy because of some declaration I’ve made, but behave as always
is simply foolishness to say the least. One should study Torah, the Sages, the
Talmud, etc. all of it, and then apply it to ordinary life in order to sanctify
it, and that’s when Messiah/Yeshua comes for you. We’re also told about the
Messianic Era, when there will be a Universal Redemption and all will come to
know G-d personally, even small children, and evil will have served its purpose
and be no longer needed. It’s not only good but necessary to hear about this ‘World
to Come’ to counterbalance our natural tendency towards seeing materiality as
an end in itself. Then the details of how it is all arranged today when evil
still exists can be worked out step by step in an orderly fashion guided by
Torah and the Sages. But the tendency of many is to want to join a club, or a
movement, and you won’t find redemption in that. That’s just so people appear
holy to others while they rot in the inside. The only one you need to be holy
for is Hashem.
