Toldot תולדות

Essence of Parasha Toldot

the essence of Parasha Toldot is Deception - Positive Deception. Positive Deception is when you fool Satan. When one utilizes the third verse of the Ana Bekoach to cause the Satan to think the cells have died. Therefore there is no energy for the negative system and it leaves the cell and the body. then the cell returns to the stem cell to be Resurrected. We do that all the time when the body is healthy. Science teaches that many cells become cancerous and then die. When that stops working in the body the cancerous cells grow out of control and become tumors etc. Using the Yood Caf Shin allows us to pretend to have the cell die. So the negative system leaves since there is no energy coming from a dead cell in the body. Then the cell can become restored through going to the stem cell state. Jacob did not deceive the Satan since everything sees what they expect to see. If someone dies no one expects to see that someone restored. Yet those who see the truth of the one reality do see the restoration. It is all in your perception - deception or process. What do you perceive?

You can also use the energy of this Parasha as a vaccine against you being deceived by your senses and the perception being presented to you by the physical world illusion. If one looks deep into Genesis Chapter 27 Verse 12 Jacob does not say to his mother - Why should I deceive my father but HOW can I deceive my father. This verse can be used as a vaccine to avoid allowing the Satan to deceive you.

The Parasha is called Toldot which is being translated as generations. There is another word that translates as generation and that is dor as in dor va dor - From generation to generation, Toldot would better be translated as "History" or annals. This is "the annals of Isaac" is a better translation that helps one to understand this story. Remember this is the story of Isaac the soul after Tikune. The soul begins with an uncorrected state referred to as Avraham then it is corrected and then it marries a new body which has been resurrected. This is Rebeccah. Then contrary to modern understandings the soul body connection will still have an initial conflict related to further and deeper tikunim which is Jacob and Esau contesting in the womb of Shabbat. This is my opinion.

The Parasha of Toldot - usually is translated as Generation. A better translation is History. What is the hi story? It is the History of Isaac. People say that the essence of the parasha is good and evil. Jacob represents good and Esau represents evil.

This understanding misses the point. What is evil? In Kabbalah evil is selfishness. We all are concerned about our own welfare. We all do things to benefit ourselves. This is considered evil in Kabbalah. Everyone is created as a desire to receive for oneself along. There is a difference between receiving for yourself and receiving in order to share. This second form of receiving is considered good in Kabbalah.

How can we understand this seeming paradox. HaShem is the highest power and HaShem Created both Good and Evil. HaShem created Evil so that we would have the illusion that we see a choice that appears to be equal so we have free choice.

In truth, HaShem always appears in the physical world as being equal to the negative system. This is why and how we have free will. Both systems know that HaShem is superior to the negative system, yet we have this illusion that they are equal.

Why was this system created? So we can remove bread of shame. That is the essence of this parasha's energy. When we hear the Torah on this Shabbat we will receive the energy to remove Bread of Shame through out the year.

Commentary for the year 5778

The Parasha speaks of the first years of Jacob and Esau. Ict speaks of the sibling rivalry taken to extreme such that some people think of it as a war/fight between good represented by Jacob and evil represented by Esau.

Yet it is clear that Jacob deceives Esau, through the purchase of the first born rites and Isaac, through the Blessings of the first born.

It is only through a careful reading of the Hebrew text that we realize that there is no true deception. The Zohar explains that Jacob, as a chariot for the Sefirah of Tiferet returned to the moment of birth and became the first born so that Esau needed to recognize the change of first born essence by "selling" the first born rights.

The "stealing" of the Blessings, on its surface is deception. The Zohar explains there was no deception. The Zohar teaches that Jacob did not lie to his father when he said "i am Esau your first born". The Zohar explains that the Trope sign within that verse creates a pause where Jacob inserted in a whispered Jacob. Thus Jacob said "I am Jacob; Esau is your first born".

The essence of this Parasha is being able to know when the illusion is acting to conceal information from you and allow you to perceive truth in the world around you, instead of being confused by the illusion of the physical world.
