General Principles of Torah and Spirituality

1. Each letter, word, and space in the written scroll is meant to teach YOU a lesson on 70 different levels

.

2. Your lessons are unique to you. They are different than my own lessons.

3. Each person has a unique Tikune to achieve. The Torah will hint to each person what is that Tikune. There are people with similar Tikunim. This is the definition of a Nation. Today no one knows what Nation they belong to.

4. The Torah teaches us the Names of the Nations and the Name hints at these 70 different levels mentioned above.

5. The words and teachings of Torah will impact each person differently. Each impact is meant for that person and each impact is truth for that person. Each year as the words of Torah are read again the impact will be different because the person has changed and is different. This is true of each day as well.

See above for explanation of the two week period.

Energy Summary for the two week period October 7-October 19:

The period of October 13 to Oct 19 has the energy from The Torah Reading of Shabbat Beraishit. That energy is "Beginning".

The period of Oct 20 to October 27 has the energy of the Torah reading of Noach. In Hebrew this is a two letter shoresh or root - נח .

The Torah Reading is Named Noach. The two letter shoresh Nun Chet relates to "rest", "comfort", "repose", and "linger". In reverse Chet Nun relates to "charm" and "beauty". Chet Nun is also part of a three letter shoresh Chet Nun Nun which relates to "amnesty", "party", and "pity". It also relates to "to endow with".

In the first verse of the Parasha Noach is used twice (right next to each other. In English it is translated as two sentences. In Hebrew it relates the three letter shoresh Chet Nun Nun. Noach spelled twice has these three letters plus an additional Chet. Chet as a number is 8 which relates to the Sefirah of Binah. This is teaching that "Binah is endowed with". The end of that sentence is "comfort" and/or "beauty". This is the energy of Noach.

Lets look at this energy differently. What is the nature of Binah? It is the essence of Motherhood. Mothers (Parents) provide comfort. Mothers provide a role model for beauty.

In your life what do you perceive as beauty? What provides comfort to you? Many people would answer these questions with the answer "financial security". Others have learned through experience that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FINANCIAL SECURITY.

COMFORT COMES FROM THE CREATOR THROUGH CERTAINTY IN HIS LOVE AND PROVIDING FOR OUR PARNASSA. OTHERS SEE THIS COMFORT AS COMING FROM HIS PROTECTION SHIELD OR USING ANOTHER WORD FOR PROTECTION FROM HIS ARK.

The Zohar in the Parasha of Noach teaches that Noach built an Ark that provided for all of life to survive the flood while THE ZOHAR itself is the Ark in our generation. How much effort will you put into building your ARK this year? Let me ask it differently. How much effort will you put into reading or scanning the Zohar so that your Ark / Protection shield is complete for the year?

THIS IS THE ENERGY OF THE PARASHA OF NOACH!

What is the Tikune during this two week period for the Parasha of Noach?

Know what is your essence

The essence of every human being is to cleave to the Creator. Even if you are not sure of the Creator's existence you desire to cleave to something. This is the essence. Learning how to cleave properly to the Creator is the correction or Tikune for each person. This period can be the beginning of this knowledge. Or you can delay your learning again for another year. The choice is yours.

Reduce your desire to receive for oneself alone and increase your desire to receive in order to share!

Do you know how to do this? Want to learn?

What do i learn from the Kabbalah?

There are 50 gates or paths that will bring you to Wisdom.

The gate this week is about desire. Are you able to control your desires? Another word for desires is appetites.

Each week we have the opportunity to open one of these gates and start along these paths. This is the human tikune or correction. This is Tikune Olam - Correction of the world. By opening this gate for ourselves we improve the world. This improvement applies in general and in specific. These are Kabbalistic terms that should be contemplated to comprehend. They are not simple terms. They are terms that when fully understood fulfill the person with the Light of Wisdom.

Shabbat Shalom

Enjoy the reading on Shabbat.

Have joy in your heart and expand it to the world at large.
