The Five Books of the Pact
First Tablet – Moshe Rabbeinu
Step 1 – (Exod. 20-2) 'I am the Lord, your
God who has taken you out of the land of Israel' – this is the mitzva of faith. In truth the entire Torah of Moses and all
his reception are included in the First Commandment of the Ten Commandments,
and the details come after the First Commandment, for clearly faith is the
first great foundation of the entire construction of the Torah.
December 30, 1998, Tevet
11, 5749, Heavenly Perfume, first day of the New Calandar
of Leviathan.
Step 2 - We need not wait until the Second
Commandment to enter the 'the Wars of God' for the purification of the faith.
If for the sake of the power of faith the first great general mitzva could stand by itself as a fixed wedge in the heart
of all the children of Israel, the pupils of Moses, our teacher, peace be upon him. This means that by itself one could come to
know the desired actions before God, even without the other Commandments.
Step 3 – This is well-known in the words of
the Sages, of blessed memory, in their comprehension of the Prophet Habakuk (2-4) who placed all the commandments as included
in the First Commandment ' and the righteous person lives in his faith'. This
is very important for understanding the special higher realm of the First
Commandment by itself. The question arises: what is a Just person who lives in
his (or her) faith if he still doesn't know the precious detailed mitzvot of the Torah?
A big question. It's
easier to affront it by the inclusion of the 613 Commandments to the Ten
Commandments since the other mitzvot can be built
upon them. All the prohibitions of idolatry depend on the Second Commandments.
All prohibited expressions referring to God depend on the Third Commandment,
all the laws of the Sabbath depend on the Fourth Commandments, all laws of
honoring people and derech eretz
depend on the Fifth Commandment, all laws concerning killing depend on the
Sixth Commandment, all laws adultery and forbidden fornications depend on the
Seventh Commandment, all laws concerning theft depend on the Eighth Commandment,
all laws concerning righteousness in testifying depend on the Ninth
Commandment, all laws concerning righteousness in one's desires depend on the
Tenth Commandment.
Step 4 – But how to establish them on one? If
we exclude the last 5 commandments, we have Hillel's famous affirmation 'that
which is hateful to you, do not do to another (Babli,
Shabbat 31-1). Clear intelligence dictates that they are just for all people;
thus they come after the commandment of faith, for even without faith they are
understood and their strait logic is good and revealed to everyone. Most of the
multitudes in these generations do not believe in the First Commandment while
they believe in 'do not murder' 'do not commit adultery' 'do not steal' 'do not
give false testimony' and 'do not desire that which belongs to others'.
Step 5 – Let's keep eliminating: the Fifth
Commandment is rooted in derech eretz
which existed before the Torah as derech eretz was the just pillar in people's behavior among
themselves even before the Torah. Thus even without the
Commandment of faith we would comport ourselves with derech
eretz.
The Fourth Commandment is more difficult
because it is not based on derech eretz.
It's also a Commandment that is not understood as a just comportment in
people's behavior and certainly people of the nations do not consider
fulfilling Shabbat as Israel is commanded in it. Nonetheless the Manna answers
to this; it descended in a double portion on Friday but on the Sabbath it did
not descend. Thus if a person fulfills the Commandment of the faith to fulfill
the will of the Holy One of Israel, he would understand the mitzva
of Shabbat from the historical Manna of the desert, which is an astounding
miracle of God Almighty. The going out of Egypt preceded the Ten Commandments
so the exiting from Egypt be complete before the Commandment of the faith, and
since the children of Israel didn't keep the Sabbath until they learned it,
that essential study was taken from the Manna, in order to demonstrate to them
the way of the holiness of Shabbat. The very existence of the Manna derives
from the faith in God's Providence in every action of the going out of Egypt.
Step 6 – The Third Commandment ' do not
invoke the name of the Lord, your God, in vain' (Exod.20,6)
is bound to faith and derech eretz,
for if it is prohibited to behave with lightness towards your peer for the sake
of derech eretz, how much more
so concerning the prohibition to 'insult' the name of the Creator of the world!
This is an added sanctity in the warnings about the Commandments, but its
essence is faith itself, and it's a clear thing to not use in vain the name of
the One who said 'I am the Lord, your God, who has taken you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
The Second Commandment remains, and it's one
of the two Commandments we heard in its entirety, and God didn't lighten our
burden until both were fully commanded. From the Second
Commandment that we know how to distinguish between the true faith in God's
Oneness and between any other faith of idolworship.
And how were we leaning on the First Commandment of itself, as the Just person
who lives in his faith if we didn't know how to explain the intention of His
Oneness, Blessed is He? In addition these first Two Commandments together
represent the completeness of the mitzva of faith
therefore we were forced to hear both of them! How then might we rely on the
First Commandment by itself?
Step 7 – The fact is that that the Second
Commandment is only the explanation to that which pertains to the faith so as
not to come to error and it mentions prohibited idolatry and its punishment
which in effect increases the reward for believing in the true faith.
In addition, faith is the great principle
concerning redemption as promised to Abraham, our father in the Pact Between the Pieces, while in the Second Commandment all
history is included until the Final Redemption. The 4 generations mentioned in
it allude to 4000 years from Abraham, our father,
father of a multitude of nations, chosen for his faith in the Oneness of God.
Therefore both the detailed mentioning of
prohibited idolatry and the reward for correct belief, the Second Commandment
is only a detailed explanation of the mitzva of Faith
of the First Commandment. We do not find that God Almighty said to Abraham not
to commit idolatry since 'Abraham believed in God and it was considered his
righteousness (or as 'charity'). His faith in the Oneness of God, the Creator,
prohibited any form of idolatry.
Step 8 – Such is the First Commandment: in as
much as faith, with the realization of God's promise to Abraham in the
redemption of Israel, one can stand solidly in that faith. The Patriarchs and
Moses did not need the Second Commandment and all was accomplished by them
without warnings against idolatry. It is understood by this that also the First
Commandment includes in it all that which is prohibited as idolatry. For that
which is positive in the faith will be the opposite of a negative side since
all that which is not of the faith is in essence not the true faith. All this
comes to explain that everything against the true faith, as detailed in the
Second Commandment, is included in the First Commandment, thus also the Wars of
God against other gods in Egypt. Clearly it contains all the miracles, wonders
and plagues that the Holy One made against the Egyptian gods.
Step 9 - We say that the First Commandment is
called the Reception (kabbala) of Moses[1]
whereas the Second Commandment, in the forth section of this text, is called
the Reception of Yehoshua bin Nune.
Each Commandment of the Ten Commandments has a particular Reception of itself.
Thus we said it's unnecessary to wait until he Second
Commandment in order to enter the 'Wars of God' for the wars of God are against
the gods of Egypt and against the theological falsehoods of the Hhartumei Mitzraim, against their
magic and sorcery etc. all of which included in the First Commandment.
Step 10 - The first of Ten
will always include the other Nine. The Zohar is the Kabbala of Moshe de Leon, from Spain, cut off (muhhram - excommunicated) for all that said about God's
actions in the world, such as the redemption from Egypt, the splitting of Yam Suf and the revelation at Sinai are said in the name of Zeir Anpin of Atzilut
which according to Moshe de Leon is Ha-Kadosh Baruch Hu, hhass ve-shalom,
and that he is our God who says to us. I am the Lord, your God, hhass ve-hhalila.
Is there something that can replace the Holy
One Blessed is He! Who dare claim such in his treacherous Zohar!
Let's look at the Kabbala of Moses, magister noster.
Step 11 – For the Zohar,
Zeir Anpin is the 'God' of
the Torah who already has an Emanted Form with 248
limbs and 365 Cosmic Veins. The ein sof (the Infinite One did not descend on Sinai but re,ained above because it doesn't have limitations in order
to be revealed as Zeir Anpin.
Atum of the 'hp;y gods of Egypt is greater than the limited Zeir Anpin, behold the Hartumei Mitzraim say of Atum that he was born of itself and afterwards he bore or
created the other gods. Not so the 'restricted' Zeir Anpin born from his father and his mother Zeir Anpin, from the Partzufim above him. He, according to
them. Is the 'God' who receives our prayers, God forbid.
Step 12 – These are purely idolatrous
concepts. May that the Lord, our God, bless the neshama of Yihhye ibn Shlomoh ElGafeh
from San'aa Yemen who spoke the truth of the Torah in
his true jealousy against the doctrine of Zeir Anpin. May that we merit to see the burning of all
these idolatrous ideas and the excommunication of all their books, for this is
the sin that impedes the true Final Redemption since there can be no true
Redemption until the grain is sieved and the chaff eliminated.
Have we then no
clear intellect! Has the wisdom of Israel become naught! Shall we count our
gods and divide them into Emanated Partzufim! Are we
to return to the gods of Egypt, Isis and Osiris who bore Horus, the god of the
Nile from whom Pharaoh took his 'divinity'! Has Israel not yet stopped thinking
about returning to Egypt to enmesh itself in their 'divine bindings'! Has
Israel not yet been freed from the mixed-multitude! Will the rabbis not be
awakened to distinguish other gods'. The Lord, our
God, Blessed is His name forever, gave us the Torah and He alone answers our
prayers and protects us.
Step 13 – How is one to serve an Emanated
'God' that has an emanated cosmic form born of its father and mother! Have we
become similar to the Greek gods and to the other idolaters!
Spoken of, however, is a new form in idolatry
which derives from the 'other side'! THERE IS NO ZEIR Anpin, no Partzuf Aba, no Partzuf Ema, no Arich Anpin
that created the heavens and the earth. They did not redeem us from the
land of Egypt for they are the house of slavery and the land of Egypt stands in
its complicated idolatry from which we were redeemed!
Zeir Anpin has eyes and a form and image but we will not serve
that which has eyes or a body, even if they claim that it's a cosmic god
emanated before created existence.
Step 14 - Will you then measure from before
the creation of the world the 'categories' of the 'God' of Bereisheet!
Will you try to know 'his' 'categories' before He created the world yesh me-aien (Ex-nihilo)!
If so, then your souls are not bound to the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or to the God of Sinai, for our God who chose
His servant Moses as Goel has no categories or partzufim or emanated Sefirot,
nor is He revealed Godliness 'lowered' in level in relation to the ein sof (the Infinite One). All
these are 'foreign terms' erroneous and not desired before the Lord, our God.
It's written, (Gen.1,1)
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. This is the true Kabbala of Moses, magister noster:
beit-resheet, two resheet, resheet is wisdom: the wisdom (hhochma)
relative to the heavens and the wisdom relative to the earth. It's prohibited
to think even with the most sophisticated and abstract ideas about emanated
heavens before Creation. Such is against Tradition and every such term will
limit Ha-Shem and separate into various categories. This isn't the tradition of
the people of Israel, believers sons of believers.
Step 15 – Not in vain did Moshe Rabbeinu come out with very strong warnings against any
thought of images in God Almighty, Blessed is He. The majority of prohibitions
relate to idolatrous thoughts since a mistaken concept will cause a prohibited image
in the mind that will cause subtle changes in one's thoughts that 'change' the
true God in cleaver ways in a false light and with subtle images.
In the Second Commandment the term 'and every
image' (ve-chol temuna)
already includes prohibited images of thought, false opinions and untrue
doctrines that bear prohibited images intellectualized.
I found 6 warnings in the book of Deuteronomy
for who is wise must not be foolish to think that these ribuim
come only in certain periods where idolatry needs be emphasized. For the
prohibition is not only for fathers, sons, third generation and the punishment
coming in the fourth generation since the sin of fathers and all idolatry is then
completed. All idolatry in all periods are prohibited,
from its beginning until its end. On the contrary its roots are more subtle
because it's more intimate in one's thought and feeling.
Step 16 - If you teach that above the worlds
there is 'god' Zeir Anpin
you're giving your brain an image, even if they are 248 cosmic limbs, God save
us from all such prohibited thoughts concerning 'He who said and the world
was'.
(Deut. 4-15) 'Be extremely careful with
yourselves, for you have seen no image in the day the Lord, your God, spoke to
you at Horev from the fire'.
Was it not, however, already written (Exod.
19-20) 'And God descended on Mount Sinai (ibid.24-10) 'and they saw the God of
Israel'. Those who believe in the false Kabbala will
ask: Why can we not say that this is the image of Zeir
Anpin? The Ein Sof does not descend or arise but is equal everywhere; thus
what is revealed is his emanation after many contractions, the Small Contracted
'god' Zeir Anpin - -
(Deut.
4-15) 'Be extremely careful with yourselves' for also
in that day that God spoke to us from the fire and we heard His voice in a
marvelous closeness, we saw no image! If in this case with such an amazing
closeness in which Ha-Shem spoke directly with the whole nation and the whole
nation hears Him, no image was seen, how much more so when He is not revealed
that there is no image.
'Be extremely careful with yourselves'
because a mistake in this has harmful consequences, God save us, in a person's nefesh, ruah and neshama, from head to toe. If you have
entered their thought with an image, whether from above or from below as it
states (Ibid. 20-3). 'that which is in heaven
above and that which in the world below or in the water below the earth' you
cause great damage to yourselves.
You who have stood and saw the incredible
revelation at Sinai, the fire and the sound of the Shofar,
and you heard the voice of God from close, you need a
special repeated warning in order not to fall into error. For if you begin to
think yourself wise in the wisdom that you received from Ha-Shem in His
revelation at Sinai and you begin trying to describe what you saw, according to
your mental images, then you will fall into idolatry and will serve 'images' (kol temuna).
Step 17 – And if those that stood at Sinai
who saw and knew all this need such strong warnings, how much more so those who
come after them. This is so since the sons that hear and read that their
fathers saw the God of Israel when He revealed Himself, that they stumble and
err after 'his image': (Deut. 4-16) 'lest you become corrupt and you make a
statue, the image of whatever: the form of a man or the form of a woman'.
Nevertheless they transgressed and made
'Higher Images' above, God save us, and they mentally copulated with them in
vain thoughts all day and night. May that EL SHADDAI separate from all Israel all
such filth and impurity that has spread out among the children of Israel.
The Zeir Anpin also descended into its 'messianic form' to render
the error to many simple Jews as well as to those 'smart in their own eyes' who
boost about everything they do, and practice idolatry bringing down their whole
stature into the photos and images of their mashiah-made
Zeir Anpin, and committing
idolatry at every step; their 'task' is to extend photos of their Rebbe. Such are the Hasidim of the Habad
Movement involved in an idolatrous cult and they are excommunicated in the Hherem Mi-Deoraita, even after
the death of Menahem Mendel Shneerson.
The sin of fathers (avon avot) of the Zohar has come down
to its fourth generation. They are separated from all Israel until they repent
and exit from it completely.
And they dare say that their mashiah was/is the Moshe Rabbeinu
of the generation and was on the level of Moses, God forbid. Evil-doers are
darkness. They are outside of the Torah and closed into the Hherem
Mi-Deoraita.
Step 18 – They don't know into what trap they
have fallen. All those photos of Shneerson whom they
the Moses of the generation are hated before Heaven as are all the Emanated Partzufim of Moshe de Leon.
Their whole desire is to make 'converts' to
their Emanated Mashiah. Of such a 'task' it states
(ibid 23) 'Be warned lest you forget the pact of the Lord, your God, that He
made with you, and you make a statue of whatever kind that the Lord, your God
has commanded you (against).'
Stay far from those Partzufim;
their impurity fools you and makes you err. They are impure doctrines and Habad's false messianism makes
them err in thought, in speech and action.
Step 19 – Take heed that your sons and
daughters do not fall into the trap, for if those knowledgeable in Torah have
not distinguished between true Torah and the false Torah of Zeir
Anpin, what might the young ones distinguish: (ibid.
25) 'When you bear sons and grandchildren and you are established in the land,
and you become corrupt making statues in whatever form, you are performing evil
in the eyes of the Lord, your God to anger Him'.
Step 20 - Nine and one: It's prohibited to
interpret the Torah according to Ten Emanated Sefirot
to which the Torah is absolutely not related. This is one of the reasons for which
Moses broke the Tablets so that they be not taken as Ten Emanated Sefirot making them into 10 Godheads, God forbid. But nine
and one begins with a non-counted ATUM who emanated the other nine and he's not
to be served, just as the false Kabbala of Emanation
puts the Ein Sof above all
and in essence cannot be served; only when the world of Emanation reaches Zeir Anpin do they say that then
is it served, for mitzvot and prayer. God forbid. (see this matter at length in Milhamot
Ha-Shem of R. ElGafeh). For it's
Zeir Anpin who has 248
limbs and 365 veins according to ther madness.
It's known that the Hartumei
Mitzraim created the Ennead, nine gods and one
(Pharaoh). Isis and Osiris bear Horus (who is also the Nile, and seemingly
correlated with the word 'Yeor' the Nile – and Horus
is also Pharaoh himself. This is Pharaoh's pretence to be 'divine'. Pharoah bathed in the Nile to receive the emanation of
Horus and to bless the Nile. Only later Pharaoh was associated with RA-AMON and
also in the Torah it corresponds to 'RA' (snake). Therefore the swallowing of
the snakes of the Hartumim was also against 'RA'.
Step 21 – We come then to the plague of
Blood, the first Plaigue. It's important to
understand that the plague of blood was made on the waters of the Nile and then
spread to a.ll the rivers; it was a general plague against
Egyptian idolatry, sorcery, service to demons (sheddim)
and star-worship. As the First Commandment was general to all
the commandments, so too the 10 plagues in the Nile (Yeor)
was a general plague to all the plagues.
What happened before the plague of blood was
a general introduction to all the plagues (Exod.7,10) and moses
and Aharon came unto Pharaoh and they did God had
commanded them; and Aharon cast down his staff,
before Pharaoh and his servants and it became a 'tanin'
(perhaps crocodile). Acronym: Tafnut, Nut,
Isis, Naftis:
these were the favorite gods of the masses in that period especially in their
houses. Tafnut was the goddess of dry air; Nut was
the goddess of heaven above air; Isis was the mother of the Queen who guards
the Throne of the King: Nafti was the goddess of the
house. These 4 were more prevalently in the thoughts of the Egyptian masses,
their air, their sky, their house and their mother.
In the Tanin made
from the staff, Phataoh saw 4 heads bound to the
service of these 4 gods and he was afraid of it , and
thus (ibid.11) 'he (immediately) called to the sages, sorcerers and hartumim, and also the hartumim
did so with their whisperings.
Step 22 – Mentioned here are sages, sorcerers
and hartumim 'and they did' succeeding to imitate the
sign of the crocodile in the wisdom of their star-worshippers, their sorcerers
and their whisperings, for their sages made the tannin through demons, and the hartumim by way of received wisdom or alchemy in a large
sense. Also the hartumim were experts in the wisdom
of the stars, in sorcery, in star-worship etc. by way of the sheddim (demons) while the hartumim
were the Priests appointed over Egyptian idolatry who ruled over the nation.
All this shows that the sign of the Tanin was general to all the kinds of Egyptian idolatry
with its thousand fold bindings (ibid 12) 'and each one threw down his staff
and they became taninim. Also they made crocodiles in
their wisdom bound, as explained, with Tafnut, Nut,
Isis and Nefti tying their names with stars known to
them to send down powers from the stars and binding them together with demons
of their service.
(ibid) 'and the staff of Aharon
swallowed their staffs' not their crocodiles but their staffs which is even
more amazing because if the Tanin of animal life
swallowed their crocodiles this would be one species overcoming another but the
staff is inanimate, not alive. Thus the staff swallowed the their staffs made
with great star powers and with actions of demons etc. in order to demonstrate
that all their powers are as nothing compared to the Higher Force of Aharon's staff.
(ibid 13) and (He) hardened Pharaoh's heart
and he didn't listen to them, as God had spoken. And God said to Moses, the
heart of Pharoah is hard, he has refused to send the
people. Go to Pharoah in the morning, behold he goes
to the water, and stand before him on the shore of the Yeor
(Nile);and the staff that turned into a snake take in
your hand'.
Since the plague of blood is general to the
other plagues it requires some depth: if the Tanin
comes against Tafnut, Nut, Isis and Nefti, the plague of blood is particularly bound to Isis
and also to Horus who is bound to the Nile itself while Pharaoh is the tenth
god in the image of Horus.
For the Egyptians the Nile itself was
considered a 'god' and the water itself was considered the source of
intelligence aside from its being the source of physical life.
It's thus understood that the plague of blood
was the source of the intellect, the water itself was impure in idolatrous
ideas born from human intellect and guarded by the hartumim.
There's always a great difference between the doctrines guarded by the priests
of a religion and between the ideas of the masses; the cults of the masses in
their homes are different from the concepts of the ruling priests. The plague
touched the people who wanted to drink and they couldn't find water, that is,
all Egypt whose lives depended on the waters of the Nile. For them the Yeor was a god, Pharaoh was a god and the water of the Yeor were the waters of Isis from whom was born Horus. Thus
the water of Isis turned into blood; instead of giving life it was furnishing
menstrual blood! Isis was the great Mother of the Yeor
and of Pharaoh and thus the mother of all Egypt. For the Hartumim
she was the Emanated Mother who ruled over all her sons and daughters and,
according to their understanding, she was made by ATUM, as ATUM in their eyes
was the highest god born of himself who 'emanated the
other great gods. In essence Isis is similar to the Emanated Mother (Partzuf Ema) of the Zohar, and their service to her among the masses was
similar to the cults of Catholicism's Mary, the Cosmic Mother who gives them
life. In the Zohar she is the cosmic emanated mother
who bears Zeir Anpin which
according to the 'Hartumei ha-Zohar'
is Ha-Shem, God forbid for this historic final error which touches the blood-faith
of Israel. In Christianity the Trinity is between the 'Father, the Son of God
and the Holy Spirit' while the Holy Spirit is the Mother who sheds her Spirit
on her children. In the eyes of the Egyptians, Pharaoh was the Zeir Anpin emanated from the
higher gods Isis and Osirus, and his birth came by
way of the waters of the Yeor. In Buddhism Buddha corresponds
to Zeir Anpin, the
important emanation among all emanations of the 'infinite god' and he has the
form of a man with many arms. Properly he, according to them is the 'emanated
god' who gives life to people below (and they serve him (Buddha) and not the
'higher god' who emanated him, similar to the Ein Sof of the Zohar).
Thus the Buddhists do not say that they serve 'god' but an emanation from the
infinite source, Buddha, according to their understanding emanates the spirit
of life upon them in order to elevate them outside of the lowness of the
physical world) The doctrine of Zeir
Anpin is identifiable but at least the Buddhists do
not call Buddha god.
The turning of the water into blood was thus
a general opposition denying the relationships of the waters of the Yeor, higher waters and earthly waters; included in the plague
of blood are the 10 Egyptian gods: Isis, Nefti, Atum (non in his higher form but in another emanated form) Geb, Osiris, Shu, Nu, Tafnut, Set and Horus
(Pharaoh). With the turnover of the waters of birth of Isis to menstrual blood,
all the gods of Egypt were smitten from Isis to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, in
order to lower and completely confuse their ideas and doctrines.
Step 23 – In The Message of the Archangel
Gabriel it states that the root of their error of their service is alluded to
in the word YEOR. I'll try to clarify the message: they sought the YOD in order
to swim in its Light (OR) instead of seeking the Light that comes from the YOD.
The YOD is hidden wisdom, not something
understood by itself but 'received'. If something is revealed, as is the Halacha, it is given as a command or as a saying that
proclaims the law and it is decisive. For example: Halacha
le-Moshe mei-Sinai is as the YOD – this is received
wisdom which cannot be doubted and nothing in it can be undone. The entire
Torah is the Divine Wisdom that Moses, our teacher, peace be
upon him, the head of all Sages, brought to the children of Israel and the
entire Tradition of Israel is founded on this reveived
wisdom. Nevertheless, after the wisdom is received there's place to try to
understand it and such understanding has diverse aspects and approaches.
Therefore there's also place for discussions and various opinions among the
Sages of Israel for all this is part of understanding without there being any
digression from the received wisdom. Arguments come because there are 70 faces
in interpreting the Torah without exiting from the generalities of the received
wisdom.
One can see thus in the term YEOR also a
positive aspect if we say that the YOD is received wisdom and OR as
understanding without seeing here something pejorative. We have here received
wisdom and comprehension. What then is the sin of YEOR of which the archangel
Gabriel assesses?
Notice that it's not ORI (my light) but YEOR:
one's searching comes after the YOD in order to find the light and not the
searching for the light in order to find the YOD.
The pain of the last generations has been not
to search the light that comes from the Torah (as it should be, that is:
understanding in order to perceive the light but rather the acceptance of
hidden things that cannot be received in a revealed way) forgetting that the
hidden things are to the Lord, our God and not for us. The concept is not
simple. The Torah is of Moshe Rabbeinu, peace be with
him, who knew hidden things! But (Psalms 8, 5-6) 'What is
a person that You remember him or a man whom You have commanded and have made
him (slightly) less than ELOHIM!' Moses was 'ish ha-Elohim' and the Sages explain (devarim
raba 11, 4) that on Sinai in his going up to Ha-Shem,
his upper half was 'ELOHIM' and his lower half was a man (ish).
Ish in scripture also means 'angel' for in his ascent
his body was not a body as all others, if it had been it would have required
bodily needs which was not the case, 40 days and 40 nights without eating or
drinking: no bodily needs. The ascent itself was impossible in a natural body.
Thus 'ish' is associated with an angel as (Gen 37, 15)
'and a man (ish) found him' in reference to the
archangel Gabriel. Here in the case of Moses, an angel invested itself in Moses
in order to maintain his body, for in his ascent to heaven and his speaking to
God, he knew or felt nothing about the state of his body.
Moses was the most humble man in the world
and he didn't seek hidden things. He didn't even want to be God's messenger to
Egypt for reason of his great humility. Moses was humble and tamim in his faith and he was chosen for his humility to
ascend above and to receive the Torah directly from God Almighty.
His destiny was not as that of Aaron who had
resided among the Levites in the land of Goshen until the period of the
plagues. Moses had grown up in Pharaoh's Palace and was as a son to Pharaoh and
as such from a young age he was educated in all the idolatry of the Hartumei Mitzraim which was
considered a great privilege, only for kings, princes and the higher ranking in
the House of Pharaoh.
The Teacher Haim
explained that in every class in which Moses was placed, he arose above his
teachers in understanding as from his nature he was extremely intelligent. For
reason of his humility, notwithstanding everything he took in regarding wisdom
and understanding, he didn't become conceited or arrogant or think himself
important. On the contrary, the more his knowledge grew,
he lowered himself even more and didn't consider himself anything. The Tzadik Haim explained as a first
principal in all his lessons that the entire Torah rests on the humility of
Moses, peace be upon him.
Moses studied and arose above his teachers
also in matters of the stars, the 'secrets' of star-worship, the 'secrets' of
demons, the 'secrets' of magic, the 'secrets' of Hieroglyphics, and all the
theologies of Hartumei Mitzraim.
Step 24 – Moses was redeemed from all their
ideas and from all their brain-traps, for he was blessed from the womb and
guarded by God. Moses, magister noster, was very wise
and in all he did he measured his actions and his speech before doing
something. In his wisdom he went above the Hartumei Mitzraim, without being influenced from demons,
or star-worshippers or in all the relationships of their gods. He saw it all
and learned it all and after every level of knowledge his wisdom would annul
their wisdom and destroy its foundations. Therefore his teachers did not know
how to answer his questions and in this way he arose above them.
Nevertheless, Moses didn't seek hidden things
nor did he desire them. But his wisdom and his soul arose above the darkness to
the light that brought him closer to his roots.
As said, Moses was expert in all the
'spiritual worlds' of Hartumei Mitzraim
and he knew how to bring powers from the stars, how to perform the actions of
the star-worshippers, how to prophecy in that context and how to be bound to
the spirits of the stellar influences in the physical images made by the Hhartumei Mitzraim.
In spite of all this, he was low-spirited in
himself and showed respect to every man and woman, and his heart was filled
with mercy for other people and on animals and even on plants and inanimate
life. He respected all but not more than the appropriate respect.
Step 25 – Moses didn't raise his head before
anyone else but held his head slightly inclined. He was faithful in his speech
and his heart desired the good of others and he was very afraid to do anything
wrongful towards others. Moshe Rabbeinu, 'alav ha-shalom respected all life and especially people,
the chosen ones of the world. He was humble and wise and did not seek hidden
matters.
One should remember that the redemption of
Israel from Egypt isn't bound to the knowledge of hidden matters but to 'and
God said to Moses, strike or stretch, and Moses obeyed the will of God' (Deut.
29,28) 'The hidden things are to the Lord, our God, and the revealed things are
for us and our children forever'.
Also the Prophets did not seek hidden
matters. They prepared themselves (generally) in sanctity, in the permission of
their teacher, as the Prophet Elijah, of blessed mentioning, who was the head
teacher of the Prophets in his days. After him Elisha became head,
and they didn't enter into hidden matters (and most certainly not into such
unfounded theologies as Atzilut, the World of God's
Emanations). They prepared themselves in sanctity and with severity they
sanctified themselves in the service of God until they were able to receive
visions and prophecies (generally by way of dreams, but sometimes while awake).
Each one followed the path received from his teacher, also some secret matters
bound to the spirit upon them. Those are secrets but they are not called hidden
matters but rather a reception among selected individuals such as is the Oral
Torah which was handed down and not written.
Step 26 – Whatever is spoken about before 'bereisheet' such as emanations before the creation of the
world, speaking of levels, categories, Sefirot, Partzufim and everything related to them, is an error that
issued because they didn't obey the verse 'the hidden things are to the Lord,
our God'. All that which is above or before the creation of the world are 'hidden things'. The hidden things are
to God and not to us, blessed is His name forever, and if not for His
great mercy upon us always, who would be justified before Him!
Nevertheless, our service to God is to try to
be justified before Him, Blessed is He, with positive thoughts, with simple
true faith felt in one's heart. But how might we justify ourselves before Him
if we dare speak about 'his cosmic construction according to his contractions (tzitzumim) and his emanated Partzufim
before the creation of the heavens and the earth!?
There's no greater shame for the neshama before Ha-Shem, Blessed is He, and those souls will
not be able to justify themselves because they have entered a zone which is
sealed as 'the hidden things are to the Lord, our God. Nevertheless, the
children of Israel will realize afterwards what had been hidden from their eyes
and will search out the reasons that great scholars of the Torah fell into terrible
idolatry without knowing it.
Step 27 - They will dig into the sources as
did Rav Yihhye ibn Shlomoh ElGafeh
and will take lessons from our texts which are sealed by the Hidden Tzadik, Haim ben
Moshe from Sana'a Yemen, and they will understand the sin of fathers, the sin
of Emanation in the Book of the Zohar. Then will
return the plague of blood against the Pharaohs in all their waters, and all
their waters, their hidden teachings, will turn into blood and it will be seen
to all that their waters are blood, and that it's prohibited to drink from
them, for it is impure blood from the waters of the wisdom of the Egyptians,
and this whole idolatrous sin will be revealed in its source from Isis to
Pharaoh in the form of Horus born in the sin of YEOR of the Book of the Zohar. Then the rabbis will stand up and will place all
those false doctrines in anathema and they will understand the Hherem MiDeoraita of this Book,
the Five Tablets of the Pact that sustain the true Tradition of Israel's faith.
For every word they've spoken concerning emanation is the exact opposite of the
true tradition of Moshe Rabbeinu, peace be with him, both in the written and oral Torah.
Here's an example of what the 'Kabbalists' consider water but is in truth impure blood, and
that anyone knowledgeable in Israel's Tradition will affirm directly from the
Torah that this is impure blood and disgusting and not water. I cite here from
a small sefer 'Kabbalah and
Hidden Torah, written by Gilad Shadmon,
based on the lectures of Michael Liteman, a Kabbalist of a group called 'bnei
baruch' in Bnei Brak, in the name of Baruch Ashlag
whose son carries on his father's work, Yehuda Ashlag, author of the Sulam on
the Zohar:
Page 43: In the preceding 2000 years they
needed Torah to a certain extent, Therefore a Kabbalist, called Moshe Rabbeinu,
wrote what he perceived and he called it Torah, our Pentateuch. He wrote it a
particular language. The Torah speaks only about higher spiritual worlds and
what happens in them.
This book 'Kabbala
–Torat ha-Nistar' is closed
into this Hherem MiDeoraita.
The whole group of Bnei Baruch from
Bnei Brak are excommunicated
in this Hherem MiDeoraita,
and all the writings of Rav Baruch Ashlag and the writings of Yehuda
Ashlag are muhhramim, muhhramim muhhramim in this Hherem MiDeoraita.
Step 28 – The sin of YEOR is that of desiring
to worship 'god' in order to comprehend the YOD of his name; the YOD makes them
err demonstrating 'I'm the YOD and my number is 10; they fall into the trap of
YEOR and say that the Infinite One doesn't reach the Nile, this because they
desire an Emanation divided into 10 categories so as to know the name of each
category and to receive a more detailed image and enter the 'hidden things of
'God'. Very, very subtle is the trap of YEOR until its true color is revealed.
In the plague of blood all their wisdom, understanding and knowledge will see
menstrual blood before them and will not be able to drink from all the rivers
bound to the Nile, that is all the currents, movements and doctrines that
derive from the Zohar, all of them from this impure
source that searches out 'god' according to 10 divine categories rooted in the
YOD according to their false doctrine.
Step 29 –For reason of the sin of YEOR in its
root they erred in the number 10 and 'conceived' 10 Emanated Sefirot in 'him'; they returned to the sin of YEOR and to
the other idolatrous doctrines of the Egyptians in their 'other side' application
that issues from the Torah interpreted on a false basis. And this has a
tremendous force in this Fourth Generation until in the end of this period all
of its theology will be burnt out and eliminated from Judaism.
So great is this sin of Ten
notwithstanding the great importance of this number that an historic sign comes
in the Last Days for an historic testimony, a tremendous sign that will correct
its sin and this is the breaking of the first Tablets with the Ten
Commandments. So did Moses do in his descent from the mountain because a sign
was needed in order to break the false Tablets of the 10 Emanated Sefirot.
Step 30 – All this sin and great confusion
would not have happened to Israel if it had followed the true simple faith
instead of hidden vanities, for it was said to all the nation on Mount Sinai
(Exod. 20-2) 'I am the Lord, your God who has taken you out of the land of
Egypt out of the house of bondage'. Thus I am the Lord who did all these
actions to your eyes for a testimony to the generations and this must be your
belief. I did not ask of you 'hidden matters' which are not in your boundaries.
Therefore if you exit from the boundaries and you try to arise to the higher
waters of hidden things you will fall into the sin of Egypt that begins with
the plague of YEOR and all your waters will become blood as you will become
entrenched on the bindings of the gods of Egypt. If, on the other hand, you
walk in the true simple faith and the love of the One Living God, then you will
be of those who receive His promises and the rewards hidden for those who love
Him and fear His name (ibid. 5) 'who does kindness with the thousands, to those
that love Me and keep My commandments' Amen and so may it be.
