SYNOPSIS:

As the white light of the sun refracts into the seven colors of the rainbow, the spiritual Light of the Creator refracts into many "colors" that express all His various attributes. Kabbalistically, physical light is merely a lower frequency of the spiritual Light of the Creator. This infinite, all-inclusive Light of the Creator includes a variety of frequencies and spectrum of colors, ranging from the green blades of grass, to the purple hues of interstellar gases radiating from distant galaxies. Everything in the cosmos represents another color frequency in the spectrum of Creation, including the four kingdoms of inanimate, vegetable, animal, and mankind, as well as intangible forces, such as mercy, judgment, pleasure, truth, and fulfillment. Colors also manifest within angels. The angel Michael, who represents the positive Right Column Force of Sharing, radiates the color white. The angel Gabriel, who represents the Left Column Force of Receiving and the negative principle in our universe, radiates the color red. The angel Raphael represents the Central Column Energy of Balance and illuminates the color green. These three colors illustrate the unique function and role that each angel plays in the ongoing process of creation. Michael is the conduit for the energy of general blessings. Gabriel is the portal through which the force of judgment enters our world. Raphael channels the spiritual energy of healing.

THE RELEVANCE OF THE PASSAGE:

The awareness that the Creator manifests His attributes physically, inanimately, and as intangible forces, gives us the opportunity to connect to each of the spiritual frequencies spoken of in this portion. The influence of these forces in our personal life is augmented when we understand their purpose and relevance in the world. We learn that song draws blessings from above downward until they are available in all the worlds, and that the children of Yisrael are destined to proclaim the song both from below upward and from above downward. In this way they will connect a bond of Faith and Trust. And at the time of redemption they will say the entire perfect song that is composed of and includes all other songs, and God will be proclaimed the only God. We learn about the fate of those who do not say 'Amen' with their whole heart. It is said that there is a corresponding opening for each gate in the Garden of Eden to a gate in Gehenom. The lowest chamber of Gehenom is described as Hell and Destruction, and those who enter there never rise again, but are lost from all the worlds; to this place it is said that those who are contemptuous of the 'Amen' are sent.

Translation

The authority and will of the King, NAMELY THE SHECHINAH, appears in three colors, AND THESE ARE THE THREE COLORS OF THE EYE, WHITE, RED, AND GREEN. One color represents the eye's sight from afar. At this distance, the eye is unable to clearly visualize what it sees until it achieves partial vision by contracting itself. Thus, it is written, "Hashem has appeared from a far to me..." (Yirmeyah 31:2) This is the secret of the illumination of the Central Column, as there can be no revelation of the Lights without it!

chanoch's Commentary

This is the color green that allows us to see from a distance. Actually the eye contracts and when that happens one can see clearly who is coming towards you. The Zohar is also saying that light that returns to us to see must have some aspect of green frequency associated with this light. I do not know if this is true in the physical world. An optomotrist or optician will have to be asked if this is true. Or perhaps my understanding is flawed.

Translation

The second color represents the eye's sight when the eye is closed. This color is seen by the eye only through a slight shutting, and therefore it is not a clear vision. THE WAY TO SEE is by closing the eye and then opening it a little, to thereby receive this sight. BECAUSE THIS VISION IS NOT CLEAR, it requires interpretation in order to understand what the eye has perceived. Therefore, it is written, "What do you see" (Yirmeyah 1:13)? This is the secret of the illumination of the Left Column, when the Lights are stopped because of the lack of Chassadim.

chanoch's Commentary

in my opinion, this is the reason that when we close our eyes and then open a little bit we see light that appears red.

Translation

The third color represents the brilliance of the mirror, which can be seen only when THE EYE is shut and it is rolled backward. As a result of this rolling, the shining mirror is seen. THIS IS THE SECRET OF THE ILLUMINATION OF THE RIGHT COLUMN. But THE EYE is able to absorb this THIRD color only by envisioning the illumination of the brilliance by shutting the eye, which means the second color is included in the first color.

chanoch's Commentary

This verse is telling us that to see the right column light of sharing we must close the eyes and roll our eyes back ward which usually means upward but may actually mean downward. Each person has to experiment for him or her self.

Therefore, it is written, "The hand of Hashem was upon me..." (Yechezkel 37:1) and "but the hand of Hashem was strong upon me" (Yechezkel 3:14). THIS ABILITY TO SEE BY SHUTTING THE EYE IS ACCOMPLISHED BY WILL POWER AND IS RELATED TO GVURAH. And all these are conceived by the true prophets, NAMELY THE FIRST TWO COLORS. And only Moses, the most faithful, had the ability to see high above to the point at which THE BRILLIANCE is not seen at all. THIS REFERS TO THE THIRD COLOR, WHICH IS THE SHINING MIRROR. Of him it is written, "My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all My house" (Bemidbar 12:7).

chanoch's Commentary

This Verse is hinting to the path to follow to reach the level that Moshe read. remember one has to roll back their eyes. and introduce their eyelids into this unification. to get to the highest level one must close ones eyelids and roll back their eyes and something else not stated.

Translation

The words "appeared to him" mean that the Shechinah appeared to him through those grades that are attached to Her own aspects, referring to Michael on the right side, Gabriel on the left side, Raphael to the front, and Uriel to the back. This is why the Shechinah appeared to him by the terebinths (lit. 'among those oak trees'), the shadows of the world, to show them the first circumcision the Holy Imprint according to the secret of the Faith in the whole world.

chanoch's Commentary

To understand this verse we need to know the inner essence of the 4 Arch Angels. Uriel translates as "Light of El". Raphael translates as "El is the healer". Gabriel translates as the "strength of El". Michael translates as "El is asking "Who Are You"". Michael also translates as "El lowered". For the first time the Archangels saw a human being that was higher then they were spiritual. This is the idea of the Circumcision. that is the meaning of the role of men in the spiritual worlds. When circumcized and controlling their passions they rise to be above the Arch Angels. that is our destiny and that is the goal. that is the reason why some Angels are zealous of mankind.

Translation

Of the words "and he sat in the tent door," HE ASKS, Where is the tent door? AND HE ANSWERS, This is the place that is called the covenant, which is the secret of faith, NAMELY THE NUKVA. The phrase "in the heat of the day" refers to the secret to which Abraham cleaved, WHICH IS the might of the right side his own grade.

chanoch's Commentary

One understanding of "the tent door" is a spiritual level in the physical world. That balance point that we speak about. This Zohar is discussing "faith". As we are taught in Kabbalah "faith" connects to doubt. It is a low level of connection to HaShem. It is also hinting to us that faith is a Name of the Sefirah Yesod.

Translation

The "tent door" is the secret of the 'gate of righteousness,' the gateway to the Faith, which is the Nukva and the secret of the Judgments of the Nukva. And it is called the gateway because Abraham entered the Holy Imprint OF CIRCUMCISION there. WITHOUT THIS, HE WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED the Covenant. This is why it is called a gateway."In the heat of the day" refers to THE ASPECT OF the righteous, the grade of the 'United Oneness,' which is entered and joined by whoever is circumcised and is signed by the Holy Imprint. Because the foreskin has been removed from him, he enters into the illumination of these two grades, THE RIGHTEOUS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are the secret of Faith.

chanoch's Commentary

There is a level of consciousness called Faith. The gate or entrance to this level which is also called the secret of Faith is the unification of Zeir Anpin with Malchut which is revealed here by Rabbi Ashlag as Righteous and Righteousness.

Translation

The verse, "And, lo, three men," refers to the three angels messengers who clothe themselves with air and come down to this world in a human image. And they were three, just as there are three above, NAMELY CHESED, GVURAH, AND TIFERET OF ZEIR ANPIN. The rainbow, THE NUKVA, appears only in three colors, white, red, and green. This is exactly LIKE THE THREE COLORS OF CHESED, GVURAH, AND TIFERET OF ZEIR ANPIN.

chanoch's Commentary

There is an amazing hint in this verse. Can you realize it for yourself? The hint is air. Air represents the central column. Angels are either right column or left column but never central column. In order to be in the physical world Angels must be protected from what we live with daily....the mixing of good and evil. That is being in a state of balance is the protection for the angels and also for us. Be in balance and stay in balance.

And these three people are the three colors, white, red and green. The white color is Michael, because he is on the right side, AS HE COMES FROM CHESED OF ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH IS WHITE. The red color is Gabriel, who is on the left side, AS HE COMES FROM GVURAH OF ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH IS RED. The green color is Raphael, WHO COMES FROM TIFERET OF ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH IS GREEN. And these are the three colors of the rainbow. And the rainbow, WHICH IS THE NUKVA, does not appear and is not seen without them. Therefore, it is written, "appeared to him," BECAUSE the appearance of the Shechinah is SEEN by these three colors. In other words, the verse "And, lo, three men stood by him," explains the verse "and Hashem appeared to him." So, "And Hashem appeared" means that the Shechinah was revealed to him. And this revelation was made by the appearance of the three colors, of which the verse concludes, "And, lo, three men stood by him" namely Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.

chanoch's Commentary

Is this verse clear as written or is it describing a step by step process of a meditation? If you are not sure or it is unclear what i am saying read the Torah verses themselves directly and you will find hints to the a clearer understanding.

Each and every angel accomplished his mission, as is proper. Gabriel goes on his mission to the holy Neshamah, while the Angel of Death goes on his mission to the Nefesh of the Evil Inclination. In spite of all this, the soul does not leave the body until it sees the Shechinah.

chanoch's Commentary

Do you understand that this pasuk is describing the moment of death. Remember Abrahamis the soul before tikune and the soul must die to grow to a higher level. This means when Abraham saw the 3 men he was growing to a higher level.

When ABRAHAM saw THE THREE ANGELS join one another, he saw the Shechinah in Her own colors. And he knelt, BECAUSE THE ANGELS ARE THE THREE COLORS OF ZEIR ANPIN IN WHICH THE SHECHINAH CLOTHES HERSELF, As it is written, "...and knelt himself toward the ground." This is similar to what is described of Jacob, of whom it is written, "...and Yisrael knelt himself upon the bed's head" (Beresheet 47:31). THAT IS, HE BOWED to the Shechinah, which is called the bed's head. So here, as well, he bowed to the Shechinah.

chanoch's Commentary

We think of the Shechinah as female yet it is actually the central column. The Shechinah is Malchut which is a process to go from the left column to the center column.

And he addressed the Shechinah by the name "Adonai," AS HE SAID, "ADONAI ('MY LORDS') IF NOW I HAVE FOUND FAVOR..." (BERESHEET 18:3). IN THE SAME MANNER, the righteous is addressed, WHO IS YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN, called Adon ('Master'). Then THE SHECHINAH is called 'ADON', "the lord of all the earth" (Yehoshua 3:11), because She is lit up by the righteous, WHO IS CALLED ADON ('MASTER'), and shines in Her colors. THE COLORS ARE DRAWN FROM THE THREE COLUMNS OF ZEIR ANPIN because She reaches perfection on high through them.

chanoch's Commentary

Perfection comes from the unity of color. Contemplate this well and often. i personally have no idea of what this means.

Translation

Because they accompany and support Her with everything, She is called Adonai. This name was revealed to ABRAHAM entirely through the secrets of the supernal ones BY THE LIGHTS OF BINAH. And they appeared to him completely exposed, which did not happen before he was circumcised. Clearly, before he was circumcised, the Holy One, blessed be He, did not wish to issue a holy seed from him. However, as soon as he was circumcised, a holy seed immediately came forth. That seed was Isaac.

chanoch's Commentary

The Name of HaShem Adonai is spelled in Hebrew אדני. The middle two letters spell the word Din which translates as judgment. The first and last letter spells the word that translates as "island". this pasuk is explaining the essence of Malchut which from this commentary we learn that Malchut's essence is an "island of Din".

Translation

Because of this, BECAUSE OF HIS CIRCUMCISION, the Shechinah appeared to him in those holy grades, IN KEEPING WITH THE SECRET OF THE VERSE, "And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament..." (Daniel 12:3) THE FIRST brightness is the brilliance that shines when it is lit up. THE SECOND brightness lights up, shines and sparkles in many directions.

chanoch's Commentary

Is this describing a meditative experience? Yes it is.

Translation

The brightness moves up and then down, shines throughout all aspects, is drawn and comes forth, and never ceases to shine. And the brightness procreates.

chanoch's Commentary

This is hinting at an amazing understanding. HaShem grows and that growth is based on the growth of the vessel. That is what is meant by the brightness procreates in my opinion.

Translation

This brightness, which is hidden and concealed, glows brighter than any sparkle, WHICH MEANS THAT ITS SPARKLE IS GREATER THAN ANY OTHER SPARKLE IN THE WORLDS. And all the grades are located within It. It goes forth and disappears, concealed yet exposed, sees yet does not see. This book, WHICH REFERS TO THE BORDER OR LIMITATION, AS THE HEBREW TERM MEANS BOTH BOOK AND BORDER, is the source of the well, WHICH IS THE NUKVA OF ZEIR ANPIN. It comes out TO SHINE ONLY during the day, BECAUSE ZEIR ANPIN SHINES DURING THE DAY. And It disappears at night, WHEN HE DOES NOT SHINE. And He delights Himself at midnight WITH THE COMPANY OF THE SOULS OF THE RIGHTEOUS THAT ARE the offspring he issued, IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.

chanoch's Commentary

The Kabbalists teach that HaShem goes into the Garden of Eden at Midnight to study Torah with the Righeous. This pasuk is relating to this teaching but expressing a deeper level.

Translation

The brightness shines and lights up the entire Torah, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF CHOCHMAH, to all. This is seen, AS IT RECEIVES CHOCHMAH, because all the colors are concealed within it. It is called Adonai. The three colors are seen below it. And three colors are seen above it. Everything is received from the THREE above, AND STILL, they are not seen, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT RECEIVE CHOCHMAH DIRECTLY THEMSELVES. And it sparkles with twelve sparkles and lights that emanate from it. Altogether there are thirteen, ACCORDING TO THE SECRET OF 'ONENESS' THAT INCLUDES THEM ALL, by the secret of the Holy Name, Yud Hei Vav Hei, within the secret of the Endless World (Heb. Ein-Sof). THAT WHICH INCLUDES THEM ALL is called Yud Hei Vav Hei, while the twelve grades of the Nukva are called Adonai.

chanoch's Commentary

This pasuk is clear to a student of kabbalah. If it is not clear to you Keep up your Torah study.

Translation

When the lower brightness, WHICH IS THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE TWELVE CALLED Adonai, joined the upper brightness, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN, CALLED Yud Hei Vav Hei, they formed one name through which the true prophets attain THEIR PROPHECIES and look into the supernal brightness. The NAME is Yud-Aleph-Hei-Dalet-Vav-Nun-Hei-Yud, WHICH IS A COMBINATION OF YUD HEI VAV HEI AND ADONAI. THROUGH THIS COMBINED NAME, THEY ACHIEVE sublime visions, BECAUSE BY THIS NAME THE VISION OF THE HIDDEN SECRETS CAN BE ACHIEVED, as it is written, "and out of the midst of it, it were the color of electrum out of the midst of the fire" (Yechezkel 1:4).

chanoch's Commentary

What is the color of electrum? Electrum is the world Chashmal. Prior to the 20th century there is an impossibility of the majority population knowing what the word Chashmal or electrum means. In the 20th century modern Hebrew used the word Chashmal to mean electricity. An science teaches that essentially electricity is energy. Chashmal has the word Shem or Name in the middle two letters. The first and last letter spells Chol. Chol is used in the Holidays of Sukkot and Pesach to reflect on the middle days of the Holidays. The days in the middle are not a total unification of the Sefirot and that is the meaning of Chol.

Translation

Mishnah, To you who are supernal, great, and good, from the right side, THE FOLLOWING SECRET HAS BEEN SAID, the nine vowels that appear in the Torah are divided by the letters. These letters secretly take short trips. These nine rulers issue these letters, which then expand. The nine vowels remain intact as so as to have the letters. THE LETTERS move only after THE VOWELS appear.

chanoch's Commentary

A Mishnah implies a Spiritual Law. Even if we do not understand the Mishnah's description of the law. The verse is esoteric. where do letters go? How do the vowels appear. In YOUR interpretation of the Torah.

ADON is the Crown of Yesod; Shadai is Yesod Itself.

chanoch's Commentary

This verse is expressing correspondences between the NaMes of HaShem and the Sefirot. The verse is clear as written unless you do not know the Name Israel Saba and Tevunah. These are the right and left columns of the essence of Da'at.

Translation

These ten Names are each engraved according to Its aspect. And all these Names were engraved and entered the Ark of the Covenant. Which one is it? It is Adonai, the one that was revealed and appeared AFTER THE CIRCUMCISION to Abraham. In other words, the name Adonai is the secret of the Nukva after She had received the other ten Names, which are all the grades of Atzilut. But before he was circumcised, he did not achieve the secret of 'Seeing.' Until the circumcision, he saw only through the Nukva, without Her being attached to the upper grades.

Michael is the name of the right, THAT IS, CHESED, which cleaves to the name ADONAI and serves It more than the other ANGELS. Wherever the secret of the name ADONAI appears, SO DOES Michael. If Michael disappears, so does Elohim, WHICH IS THE NUKVA, together with Shadai, WHICH IS YESOD.

Translation

In the beginning, there were three men who were dining while enclothed in an image of air. They most certainly ate, because their fire ate and consumed everything, thus bringing contentment to Abraham. AND HE CLARIFIES THAT they were truly fire. This fire was covered by an image of the air and was not seen. The food that they ate was a burning fire. And they ate it, and Abraham received pleasure from this.

chanoch's Commentary

A host receives pleasure only when his guests are happy.

Translation

As the Shechinah departed, it is written, "and Elohim went up from Abraham" (Beresheet 17:22). So Michael immediately departed with Her, as it is written, "And there came two angels to Sodom..." (Beresheet 19:1). At the beginning, it is written three, but now it reads "two angels." FROM THIS, WE CONCLUDE THAT THE ANGEL Michael, who is to the right, also departed as the Shechinah rose. And only two angels remained.

chanoch's Commentary

We can also understand that the two Angels are connected to Gevurah and Tiferet. Gevurah to accomplish the destruction - judgment of Sodom and Amorah and Tiferet to save Lot and his daughters.

The angel seen by Manoach, who descended and was enclothed by air, is Uriel. He did not come with those angels of Abraham, but came down on his own to inform Manoach, who is a descendant of Dan, THAT HE SHALL HAVE A SON.

uriel is connected to Malchut and birth is Malchut which becomes Keter of the new generation.

Translation

Because MANOACH is not as important a man as Abraham, it is not written that he (the angel) ate. Rather, it is written, "Though you detain me, I will not eat of your bread..." (Shoftim 13:16) and "For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven...that the angel of Hashem ascended in the flame of the altar..." (Ibid. 20). Here, however, it is written, "and Elohim went up from Abraham"; IT IS NOT WRITTEN THAT THE ANGELS DEPARTED FROM ABRAHAM. THIS IS because Michael left WITH ELOHIM, while Raphael and Gabriel remained.

chanoch's Commentary

The pasuk is clear as written.

Of them it is written, "And there came two angels to Sodom at evening." "...at evening..." when Judgment hovers above the world.

Therefore, he was also privileged to have the two angels come and visit him.End of Sitrei Torah
