Zohar on Parasha Ki Tisa Section 3 - "Sun Worship"

SYNOPSIS:

At dawn Rabbi Chiya remarks how all the inhabitants of the East are at that moment worshipping the rising sun. He says that from ancient days it was known that before the sun emerges the prince appointed over it goes forth with the holy letters of the Supernal Name written on his head, and with the power of those letters he opens the windows of heaven and passes through. Then he remains there until the sun emerges. Rabbi Chiya adds that that prince is in charge over gold and red jewels. He says that the sun worshippers know the spots of the sun. Rabbi Yosi asks how long it will be that idols are still in the world, and says that falsehood can not endure.

Translation

Rabbi Yosi and Rabbi Chiya were traveling. While they were still walking, it became dark and they sat down. While they were still sitting dawn began to light up. They got up and went on. Said Rabbi Chiya: See, the East has lit up. Now all those inhabitants of the East, of the mountains of light, are bowing to this light that illuminates in the place of the sun, before it emerges OVER THE FACE OF THE EARTH, and worship it. Many worship the sun after it comes out. They worship this light OF THE BREAKING DAWN, and call this light 'the Deity of the Illuminating Jewels'. And they swear by the Deity of the Illuminating Jewels.

chanoch's Commentary

This pasook teaches us that the darkest part of the night happens "just before the dawn". It is also explaining the idea of the world being a circle since the sun illuminates prior to it being seen. This implies a horizon. It is also teaching us that during darkness do not worship darkness or light but connect to the Torah which is our protection shield.

Translation

And you may ask if this worship is not in vain. From the early, ancient days the wisdom was known that when the sun shines, before it emerges OVER THE FACE OF THE EARTH, the prince appointed over the sun goes forth, with the holy letters of the Supernal Name written on his head. With the power of these letters, he opens all the windows of heaven, smites them, and passes through. And that prince enters into the glow that shines around the sun, BEFORE IT EMERGES, and remains there until the sun emerges and spreads over the world.

chanoch's Commentary

This pasook is teaching about the knowledge revealed by the book of Raziel also called the Book of Adam that taught the Names of Angelic Princes and their jobs. The generation of Enosh and the war between Atlantis and Mir was fought over this information. the Name is not the Creator only a tool of the Creator. we need to never forget this spiritual law and truth.

Translation

And that prince is in charge over gold and red jewels. They worship that form that is there IN THE LIGHT OF THE SUN, WHICH IS THE PRINCE, with the spots and signs that they inherited from the ancient in olden days. They then know the spots of the sun, and they go and find the places of gold and jewels. Said Rabbi Yosi: How long will the many idols be in the world? Falsehood has no pillars TO SUPPORT IT in order to exist.

chanoch's Commentary

Now you know what is the purpose of the sun spots. Science has yet to make this connection. If we map the sun spots and their movement within and on the surface of the sun we can then use this information to determine where gold and jewels are found. Moshe used this information to that he could take the wealth out of Egypt and then spend his time finding the bones of Joseph. This is my opinion.

PORTION KI TISA Section 4 - Lip of Truth will be Established Forever

SYNOPSIS:

We read that the light and radiation from the sun is true, and the stars in the firmament are true; just because in their lack of wisdom people call them 'Elohim', God does not have to destroy the sun and stars. They will not perish, but eventually those that worship them will perish. Yisrael are the lip of Truth, and they will still exist in the time to come. The story is recounted of a General who tells Rabbi Elazar that since the kingdom of Yisrael was removed from them, it is Yisrael who are the "lying tongue." But Rabbi Elazar explains to him that the verse says "The lip of truth shall be established forever" in the future, not now for now the lip of falsehood endures. We are told that the General converted after this encounter.

The other opened the discussion, and said, "The lip of truth shall be established forever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment" (Mishlei 12:19). Come and behold: if all the inhabitants of the world always worshiped falsehood, then it would be so, THEY WOULD CEASE TO EXIST. But this light and radiation THAT SHINES FROM THE SUN is certainly true, and the stars that are in the heights of the firmament are also true. And if in their foolishness and lack of understanding, they say and call them 'Elohim', the Holy One, blessed be He, does not have to destroy His creations from the world BECAUSE OF THIS. And also, in the time to come, the stars and luminaries will not perish from the universe. But who will perish? Those that worship them WILL PERISH.

chanoch's Commentary

As a student of Kabbalah is this pasook talking about the internal or the external of the sun? Stars? etc. Souls of human beings when corrected receive worlds to govern as the souls of the stars. This is what the spiritual teachings indicate. As we know those who worship false gods will die and disappear yet this applies to their bodies since the souls will change through reincarnation and eventually comes to know the truth. Are you searching for Truth? or what fits your expectation of consciousness? when you answer this question properly you can reach the level of removing death forever.

Translation

And this verse: "The lip of truth shall be established forever," refers to the children of Yisrael, who are the lip of Truth, FOR THEY SAY, "Hashem our Elohim, Hashem is One" (Devarim 6:4). And it is all true and the secret of Truth. And they end THE READING OF SH'MA WITH, 'Hashem your Elohim is true.' And hence "the lip of truth shall be established forever."

chanoch's Commentary

In what way are other religions false when they also say God is one? the answer to this question is quite simple adn be very embarassing for any religion that says our truth is the only truth. there are no false religions just steps to learning the ultimmate truth - each human being has the capability to become ONE with God and together all human beings are the total consciousness of God. Remember the definition of human being is not homo sapiens but any form of consciousness.

"But for a moment (lit. 'I will calm down')." HE ASKS: It should say 'for a moment', but it says "calm down". HE ANSWERS: They will long exist in the world, until the future to come. Then I will have respite from their difficult worship, BECAUSE "CALM DOWN" MEANS 'I SHALL HAVE REST.' And at the time that I will calm, the false tongue will perish “ meaning those who call 'Elohim' that which is not Elohim. But of the children of Yisrael, who are the lip of truth, it is written: "This people which I have formed for Myself, that they might say My praise" (Yeshayah 43:21).

chanoch's Commentary

the pasook is clear if you are searching for and open to learn truth.

I remember one time when I was traveling with Rabbi Elazar, he met a general. He said to Rabbi Elazar: Do you know the Torah of the Jews? He said to him: I know. He said to him: Do you not say that your faith is true and your Torah is true but our faith is false and our bible is false? But it is written, "The lip of truth shall be established forever, and a lying tongue is but for a moment" (Mishlei 12:19). We have existed from time immemorial, and our kingdom has never left us, generation after generation. Hence, assuredly it is "established forever." But as for you, for a short period you had a kingdom and immediately it was removed from you. Thus, the passage has been fulfilled by you that says: "And a lying tongue is but for a moment."

He said to him: I see that you are a scholar in Torah. May that man breathe his last. Had it said, "The lip of truth was established forever," then it would be as you said. But it is written, 'shall be established forever', MEANING that the true lip will be established in the future, but not now. For now the lip of falsehood endures, and the lip of truth lies in the dust. And when Truth will stand firm and sprout from the ground then, "the lip of truth shall be established forever."

chanoch's Commentary

What do you think is the judgment of the higher courts to a person who is sure the truth they teach is correct when it is false. This is the general in the above paukim. what will the current incarnations of generals become?

The General said to him: You are right. Blessed are the people of the Torah, who inherited the Truth. After some time we heard that he converted. They went on, reached a certain field, and recited their prayer. After they prayed, they said: From now on let us join the Shechinah, and walk and be occupied with Torah.

chanoch's Commentary

the Shechina rests on those who study Torah and eventually the Shechina will teach all mankind what is truth.
