C'est le rôle de l'homme de recevoir la Lumière

C'est le rôle de l'homme de recevoir la Lumière, de la porter, de lui constituer un corps et de la mettre au monde. Il est donc important de savoir ce que l'on veut, d'être déterminé, engagé, dans une certitude absolue. Celui qui doute de la Lumière au moindre souffle de vent contraire ne la connaîtra jamais car elle ne pourra pas s'approcher de lui.

O.Manitara

God formed Man, but He built Woman.

God formed Man, but He built Woman.

She is the framework of the home in which he lives, the ground on which he builds, his walls and windows upon the world and the roof that stands over his head.

She is the crown that sets him to rule over his world. Without woman, there is no man.

Power of speech

"There is a great deal that could be said about the power of

speech – how it creates forms, how it acts on the psychic and

physical organs not only of those being spoken about but also of

those speaking and of those hearing what is said. Knowing how to

be fair, moderate and precise when we speak is one of the

greatest qualities there is.

 We write with a pen, but we also write with our tongue. Our

every word is a letter addressed not only to human beings but to

all the entities living in nature. Regardless of who you are

addressing, you should try to speak with a golden tongue. Yes,

for the human tongue can be made of various materials – lead,

copper, iron, pewter, silver or gold. A golden tongue brings

souls light and peace."

Le corps que nous avons

Le corps que nous avons est un corps qui nous a été donné à la naissance, mais comme nous ne sommes pas nés dans une tradition de la Lumière, nos corps subtils ont été accaparés par des mondes invisibles que nous ne connaissons pas. Ces mondes, nous les nommons sans les connaître. Nous parlons de la pensée, des sentiments, mais nous n'avons pas rendu conscients ces mondes, nous ne les avons pas nettoyés. Nous n'avons pas éveillé ces mondes, en regardant réellement ce qui était caché derrière eux, pour nous faire un corps sur la terre. Si nous voulons avoir des corps subtils, nous devons les reconquérir.

They have banished God into exile

"They have banished God into exile.
They have decreed He is too holy,too transcendent to belong in our world.They have determined He does not belong within the ordinary, in the daily run of things.And so they have driven Him out of His garden, to the realm of prayer and meditation, to the sanctuaries and the secluded places of hermits. They have sentenced the Creator to exile and His creation they have locked in a dark, cold prison.And He pleads, "Let me come back to my garden, to the place in which I found delight when it all began."

Out of diversity is born a perfect harmony.

"We are all individual beings, each with our own life. But we are

not alone; we are part of a whole, and the issue we face is how

to reconcile the demands of our individual life with those of

collective life.

Each individual is special. Cosmic Intelligence created such a

diversity of creatures, and we must not try to put them all on

one level and make them all the same. Everyone has the right to

express their differences, their originality, provided they are

in tune with the whole, as in an orchestra. What a difference

there is in shape, material and sound between the violin, cello,

piano, oboe, flute, harp, trumpet, cymbals and bass drum! But out

of this diversity is born a perfect harmony."

Life in Words

Plants live in a world of earth, water, air and sunshine. Animals live in a world of the body and its senses. Human beings live within a world of their own words.

The sages called us “the speaking being,” saying that our soul is filled with words. When our words leave us, our very being goes out within them. We conquer with them. We declare our mastery over Creation with them. Our words tell us that we exist.

For us, nothing truly exists until we find a word for it. All our thoughts of every object and every event are thoughts of words. Our world is a world not of sensations and stimuli, but of words.

Build your world with precious words. Fill your days with words that live and give life.

Sun & Moon

Each one of us is both the sun and the moon.

The sun is constant—every day the same fiery ball rises in the sky. But the moon cycles through constant change—one day it is whole, then it wanes until it has disappeared altogether. Yet, then it is renewed, reborn out of nothingness.

So too, we learn and progress by quantum leaps and bounds, yet the timeless, constant wisdom of Torah doesn’t budge from its place. On the contrary, the more we move forward, the deeper we fathom the truths behind us.

T.Freeman

Defining Your World

We are not passive observers of this universe, but rather partners in its creation. We are the ones who assign each thing its meaning, who bring definition and resolution to an otherwise ambiguous world.

In fact, we are legal witnesses who determine a matter of life or death: For each thing we hold, each event that enters our life, our word declares whether it breathes with Godly life or simply idles itself into oblivion.

Lorsqu'on parle de pierre philosophale

Lorsqu'on parle de pierre philosophale, on parle de « pierre », c'est-à-dire du plus tangible, du plus concret qui puisse être, mais on parle aussi de «philosophale», de philosophie, c'est-à-dire d'un monde qui respire autour : la pierre qui pense, la pierre qui parle, la pierre qui sent. Cette pierre, c'est l'homme. L'homme est la pierre philosophale qui peut tout transformer en or ou en plomb. Celle-ci peut amener le plomb vers l'or, mais elle peut aussi amener l'or vers le plomb. On disait de la pierre philosophale qu'elle amenait la longue vie, la santé et l'immortalité. Cette pierre, c'est l'homme qui respire une intelligence supérieure du bien ou du mal. Le bien, c'est la vie, et le mal, c'est la mort. Le plomb est le corps physique de l'homme, qui va vers la mort : le plomb s'oxyde. Le processus de l'oxydation en chimie équivaut à un processus spirituel de mort.

A Connection Through the Times

There are two engines on the the “Kennedy” spacecraft, each engine five-feet wide. The spacecraft engineers wanted to make the engines wider, but couldn’t. That’s because the engines were delivered by railroad, and the distance between the rails was only five feet (or rather, four feet 8.5 inches). Why?
It’s because the American-made railroad was modeled after the British model, and in Great Britain the railroad was modeled after the trolleys, and the trolleys were modeled after horse-trams, and the width of the horse-trams was specifically made so the wheels would fall into tracks, and the distance between the tracks in Great Britain is five feet.

And that’s because the roads in Great Britain were paved by the Romans to fit the size of their military chariots, which were five feet wide. And that’s because the chariots were led by two horses and this was the width of two horses’ behinds!

So the size of the spacecraft’s engines depends on the size of a horse’s behind 2,000 years ago!

Love And Hatred Of “600,000 Souls”

600,000 souls are parts of a single soul created by the Creator.This single created being got divided into parts which we call “600,000″ souls. However, this number does not indicate quantity, but rather the quality of the connection between them. 

When the Creator gives rise to the desire to receive pleasure, everything is a single whole; the Creator, the vessel, and the Light are like one. But in this state, both the desire and the Light sense neither separation nor connection; they don’t feel whether the creature exists or not. There is a complete absence of any sensation because any sensation in the creature can be detected only through the opposition between the creature itself and what it feels.

For that, it is necessary to distinguish between the Light and the vessel and to feel their complete oppositeness and connection. However, when the vessel and Light connect, their difference doesn’t vanish since love emerges above hatred.

Both qualities have to emerge. The distance between hatred and love, darkness and light (hatred is revealed as darkness and love as light) gives the creature the sensation of its existence and understanding of where it exists and with whom it is connected. This is the reason why the World of Infinity is not enough to outline the creature and make it independent.

Only after the creature goes through the entire process of its development, meaning that it starts at the first stage, descends to the second, and then rises back to the third, does it begin to understand what the first state was about. The created being becomes independent and similar to the Creator. That’s why it is called Adam.

In the beginning (Stage 1), the creature was just a drop of semen. Then, it realizes that the breaking has occurred and corrects it. By doing so, the creature attains perfection. It is not considered a drop of semen any more, but rather, it has the power of 600,000 souls and represents one big autonomous soul.

“Six hundred thousand” stands for six Sefirot of Zeir Anpin multiplied by ten Sefirot in each of them and then by ten thousand, the power of the ascent of Zeir Anpin to Arich Anpin which governs all corrections. 60 x 10,000 = 600,000. Hence, the common soul (the general, final, corrected state) is called 600,000 souls.

An Honest Talk With The Creator

Question: What does it mean to “speak with the Creator?”

Answer: To “speak with the Creator” primarily means to do everything you can to try to reveal His image within you. Try to imagine: He is the reason for everything I feel. My thoughts, desires, and sensations are all Him, the One who has laid my foundation and forms me.

When I decide that my current reality is established by Him, then how do I treat everything that happens to me? There are two possibilities:

1. Directly structure my attitude towards my inner reality as my attitude towards Him. But this approach is inaccurate, incorrect, and unstable. There is no ability to test or verify it because I will surely be guided by my ego and err.

2. At first, I strengthen myself through my connection with others like me, and then I structure my attitude towards the inner reality by passing its image through this connection. In this case, I am definitely already in some quality of bestowal, and my qualities are adapted to the Creator’s image. Thus, instead of changing the image, I change my attitude towards it. This is what it means to “speak with the Creator.”

La pierre philosophale, c'est l'union harmonieuse de l'esprit et de la matière

La pierre philosophale, c'est l'union harmonieuse de l'esprit et de la matière, comme son nom l'indique. Celui qui possède uniquement une connaissance intellectuelle ne l'emportera pas par-delà la porte de la mort car l'homme emporte de l'autre côté uniquement les expériences vécues intensément dans les trois sphères de son être, les expériences qui ont un caractère d'éternité, de plénitude. Ce sont elles qui forment la rose au centre de la croix. Chaque âme incarnée vivait auparavant dans un autre pays où elle parlait et pensait avec une autre langue et pourtant dans sa nouvelle incarnation, elle ne se rappelle plus son ancien langage, ce qui démontre que l'âme ne garde que la quintessence la plus spirituelle, la plus intense d'une incarnation à l'autre.

The Power of Not Thinking

Thinking has a profound effect. So does not thinking.

A mind obsessed with yesterday’s travesties, today’s aches and pains, and tomorrow’s dark clouds, creates problems where none exist.

It transforms daydreams into realities, molehills into monstrosities, innocent creatures into venomous snakes. All the more so when such words pass the lips into the tangible world we all share.

That is why simply turning your back to those thoughts is such a powerful form of healing—for every sort of illness. Distract your mind to good thoughts, productive thoughts, thoughts of confidence in the One Who Made You, and especially thoughts of Torah.

Heal your mind and heal your soul. You will heal your body as well.

Being and Not Being

He made His world of contradictions, opposites that combine as one.

Being and not being,

infinity and finitude,

light and darkness,

form and matter,

quantity and quality,

giving and withholding.

At their nexus, a world is formed: Neither can exist without the other, all function together as a single whole.

They are mere modalities—He Himself is none of them. He mixes them and matches them at whim.

Paradox is our window to the Unknowable.

T.Freeman

Get Real

Why is God not real to you? Because your god is not real.

You begin with “Here I am, standing in this world,” and then you append, “and God is watching down on me.”

If you begin with the premise of your own reality, what room is there left for His?

God Is—and you and your world are a glimmer of His presence.

Transformation

When light pushes away the darkness, 

eventually another darkness shall come.

When the darkness itself is transformed into light,

 it is a light that no darkness can oppose.

Many people, without realizing, end up with two gods

Many people, without realizing, end up with two gods:

One god is an impersonal, all-encompassing, transcendent force.

But then, at times of trouble, they cry out to another, personal god, with whom they have an intimate relationship.

Our faith is all about knowing that these two are one. The same God who is beyond all things, He is the same one who hears your cries and counts your tears. The same God who is the force behind all existence and transcends even that, He is the same God who cares about what is cooking in your kitchen and how you treat your fellow human being.

God cannot be defined, even as transcendent. He is beyond all things and within them at once.

T. Freeman

No man can say he is free today because yesterday he was granted freedom.

No man can say he is free today because yesterday he was granted freedom.

Freedom is a source of endless energy. Freedom is the power behind this entire universe. Freedom is the force that brings existence out of the void.

You are free when you take part in that endlessness. When you never stand still. When you are forever escaping the confines of today to create a freer tomorrow.
