Sheila’s Unedited Study Notes

Transcribed 4/6/02

         I’m taking some comments out of Isaac Luria’s mystical psychology of building the feminine menorah. This is a spiritual understanding of the spiritual reality behind the symbology of lighting the physical menorah. This is very interesting because Isaac Luria is saying that the significance of this is that the menorah represents the female which is Malkhut, which is the human race and more specifically the church.

Tuesday morning, March 5^th, 2002. 

          Reading in the Zohar, the first ever unabridged English translation with commentary. Page 261 says that the name El, the Name of God, El, always alludes to the name Yesod, which is the right side.

          Paragraph 62 of the Zohar. The spiritual principle behind the concept of the Hebrew children passing through the Red Sea, dry shod, and passing through the Jordan, dry shod, and the waters heaping up on the sides so that the Hebrew children could walk through, is that the Hebrew children within their own minds managed to weave together the left and the right side within themselves, and therefore they became manifestations of the middle column and prevailed over all their spiritual enemies within.

          When you walk through the middle column, you weave together the wickedness of the left column and the righteousness of the right column and you have the victory over the enemies of your mind. This suggests that when you have the victory over the enemies of your mind, when you walk in the middle column, you are untouchable in this physical world.

          I don’t know exactly what happened concerning a physical sea, but I now know that this principle of the waters heaping up on the side signifies that the left column was under the authority of the righteousness within the Hebrew children.

          By the way, the waters of the sea suggest Binah. We know that Binah is on the left side and Binah is a high form of righteous judgment. So we can say then that the heaping up of the waters indicates the restriction of judgment, the stopping of the flowing forth of judgment.

          Paragraph 63. Yesod of Ze’ir Anpin is the life of the worlds. Ze’ir Anpin is the mediator. He is the middle column and Ze’ir Anpin is Christ Jesus. So when we live out of Christ Jesus, every decision, every thought, that we make and follow through out of Christ Jesus is the middle column, and that means we are undefeatable in that instance, or in that event.

          The central column or the work of the central column is to cause the left to be included in the right and the right to be included in the left. Therefore, both sides become harmonized and move to the center column.

          We are told in paragraph 63 that the word, firmament, is mentioned 5 times on the second day. Therefore the Kabbalists say that there are five firmaments and that these five firmaments are the equivalent of the 500 years to which the Tree of Life, which is Ze’ir Anpin, is attached. Of course these are 500 spiritual years. It’s during these 500 years that Ze’ir Anpin produces offspring and the fruits of the world.

March 20^th, 2002.

          The Ten Sefirot of Ze’ir Anpin. Ze’ir Anpin is in the World of Emanation. Each of his Ten Sefirot is counted in tens. In other words, if we’re reading in the Scripture something about 50 years, you can relate that to the fifth sefirah of Ze’ir Anpin.

          But each of the Ten Sefirot under Binah is counted in 100's. So if we read something in the Scripture about 500 years we can relate it to the fifth sefirah of Binah.

          I read in the Zohar, the first unabridged ever edition of the Zohar, paragraph 172, that life ensues from the right side and death ensues from the left side. If both of these two sides do not agree by mediation, which mediation produces the central column, unless all three settle together (that means the left, the right and the central column) judgment cannot be carried out. This means that the only legitimate judgment, as far as the Lord is concerned, is from the middle column. This mediation or this condition of agreement of all the sides can only come to be after discussion and understanding, which is what we do when we hold court.

          Paragraph 173 says that the hand signifies the Shekinah. Now remember that it was a hand that appeared to declare the judgment that was about to fall on Belteshazzar, the son of Nebuchadnezzar. So we’re told here that the hand is the Shekinah. The hand from the left side is the hand of judgment and from the right side is the hand of mercy, but the hand is always the Shekinah.

          The letter vav signifies Ze’ir Anpin. When you spell that letter out V A V or vav hey vav, the first vav is called the large vav and the second vav is called the small vav, which refers to Ze’ir Anpin’s Yesod.

          Black signifies form and white signifies the spiritual foundation that upholds all things.

          Paragraph 184. Here’s an explanation of how to deal with numbers in the Zohar and in the Scripture. There are seven ministers who have seventy more attached to them. Those seventy bring allegations in each and every firmament through which the prayer passes, and seven hundred million angels of destruction are attached to them. That would be Yesod through Malkhut, the seven ministers, Yesod through Malkhut. Then it says, who have seventy more attached to them. What that means is that each of the seven ministers, Yesod thru Malkhut, each of them have their own Ten Sefirot. Yesod has its own Ten Sefirot. Gevurah has its own Ten Sefirot. So ten times the seven ministers, ten sefirot for each of the seven ministers, is seventy more ministers attached to them.

          The next sentence is those seventy, that means each of the original seven with the ten sefirot that they have under them, those seventy bring allegations, complaints, that’s charges, they bring charges in each and every firmament through which the prayer passes. This paragraph is talking about prayer and it’s talking about a prayer what happens to an incomplete prayer. What it’s really talking about is an ungodly prayer. What happens to an ungodly prayer? All of these ministers are chasing after it and they’re making charges in each and every firmament through which the prayer passes. Now the firmament really refers to a human being. Our flesh is the firmament that separates the waters inside of us from the water outside of us.

          But this little exhortation is talking about numbers. Seven ministers, seventy ministers, and now the next phrase says, and 700 million angels of destruction are attached to them. So if Ze’ir Anpin is ten, Binah is 100, Yesod is 1000 and Keter is a million. So what does 700 million angels refer to? 700 refers to the seven ministers that are under Binah, who is 100. 700 is the seven ministers that are under Binah, which is 100, and the million would be referring to Keter. So this 700 million angels of destruction are talking about these angels or these ministers that are proceeding forth from this high spiritual place.

          In other words, to make it simple, this expression of 7 ministers that have 70 more attached and 700 million angels of destruction, this is the Zohar’s way of saying that judgment, whether it’s destructive judgment or the judgment of God, has proceeded forth from a very high place of Ze’ir Anpin and Binah of Keter. That’s a very high level judgment.

          This is the difference between completion and perfection. Completion refers to the fact that an individual is both male and female. The human race is all female. For us to be completed, the male, Ze’ir Anpin, who is appearing to us in this spiritual generation as Christ Jesus, must be added to us. When we, a human being, have both the female and the male, we are completed. That’s why the Scripture says we are complete in Him. When Christ Jesus is added to us, we are completed, but we are not perfected. Perfection means to have our sin nature so completely overshadowed that we are incapable of sin. So to be perfected, we must be incapable of sin. Yet we can be completed and still be capable of sin.

          Talking about the Shekinah, which is the feminine principle. She is supposed to ascend through that middle column all the way up to Keter, and she is frequently at different levels of ascension. She is supposed to become equal to Ze’ir Anpin, who to us is Christ Jesus, and we’re told that she, Shekinah, is the crown on the head of the alef. When she is the crown on the head of the alef, she has ascended as high as Keter. So when the feminine principle rises, she is called a crown, we’re told, according to the secret of the intonations [that must be the cantillation marks]. I’m not sure what that means, but when she rises, she is called a crown and when she descends, she is called a point.

          When she mates with Ze’ir Anpin, that mating is in the form of the vowel shuruk. When Shekinah is a crown on the head of Ze’ir Anpin, she is named after the letter zayin, which is the 7^th letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

          The stone that is slung from the slingshot is Malkhut, the feminine principle. 

March 23^rd, 2002. 

          Paragraph 236. The numerical value of the Tetragrammaton YHVH, plus the name Adonay, which is the name associated with Malkhut, has a numerical value of 72. That’s the same thing as saying that the Tetragrammaton, when it is manifesting through Adonay (that’s Malkhut in an individual) is an expression of AB(72) in the earth.

          Paragraph 247. Eden is Binah. Ze’ir Anpin is the river and Shekinah is the garden that is watered.

Wednesday, March 27^th 2002. 

          This is what the Lord showed me concerning the Kabbalistic principle that when the inner light is as strong as, or stronger than the light of the vessel, the vessel is destroyed when the inner light enters the vessel. The inner light, is masculine compared to the vessel, which is feminine.

          When the inner light enters into the vessel of equal strength, the vessel will lose its integrity and dissolve. Therefore the solution, according to the Kabbalists, is for the inner light to weaken itself. For this purpose, we’re told that Adam Kadmon inhaled the breath of the mouth, kept the AB within himself, and returned the other nine sefirot of the inner light to the mouth, where they would be misaligned with the sefirot of the vessel.

          In other words, Adam Kadmon misaligned the sefirot of the male inner light with the sefirot of the female vessel, so that the inner light, which is male, would be weaker than the light of the vessel containing it, which is female. The vessel therefore would maintain its integrity and not dissolve because the male inner light was too weak to dissolve the female vessel.

          I asked the Lord what His solution to this problem of the dissolving vessel is, because this explanation of the Kabbalists completely denies that the fall resulted in the male becoming weaker than the female. The explanation of the Kabbalists justifies the male being weaker than the female as the will of God, and contradicts the revelation that the Lord gave us concerning the World of Points and the Fall: That the male was weakened when the female daughter fertilized the seedlings of the garden, alone, before the Son was added to her, and therefore the second generation of sons [the seedlings of the Garden] was born in a spiritually retarded state which resulted in the female being stronger than the male, which condition is evident through our whole society.

          Men can lose their manhood and remain physically male while they become spiritually weaker than the women that they’re married to, or the women in their lives. We see this plague manifesting in this nation. The women become too strong, the men become too weak and the whole society turns upside down.

          According to the Kabbalists, this condition of potential male weakness, has resulted from Adam Kadmon inhaling the breath of the mouth, and then exhaling it back into the mouth so that it was misaligned with the vessel, because that was the only way to maintain the integrity of the vessel. So I asked the Lord what His solution is to preserve the female vessel.

          The Lord said to me, you’re right, Sheila, this is not the truth. The answer is to strengthen the female, not to weaken the male. The answer is to marry the female vessel to the male, so that the vessel would not be only female, but consist of a mixture of male light and female light. Therefore when the male inner light fills the vessel that is male and female, rather than female, alone, the vessel will be strong enough to contain the male light, and there will be no reason to weaken the male light.

          So here we see a clear example of how this aspect of the doctrine of Kabbalah justifies the fall and declares that the creation is in its present, mortal condition because Jehovah intended it to be this way, which is a corruption of the Truth.

          Then, further, as the Lord revealed to us the other night in the message, The Ascension of the Shekinah, we learned that the female Shekinah which ultimately ascends all the way up to Keter, is not female alone, but is a mixture of male and female. Wherefore, it is not accurate to say that at the end of the tikun process (correction of creation) that the female will be superior to the male because she will have ascended up to the Ayn Sof, above Ze’ir Anpin, who is Tiferet, and Chokhmah, the highest male. This is not accurate, because the Shekinah that ascends all the way up to the Ayn Sof is the married woman, the wife of Zeir Anpin [Christ Jesus]. The male is within her. The man is concealed within her. The woman is not ascended in God’s kingdom alone.

          Of course, the woman does ascend alone in the fallen kingdom of the other side, and the name of that single woman that ascends is Satan. The end of this ascension is damnation and death.  

March 30^th, 2002. 

          I am commenting on the first ever unabridged English translation with commentary of the Zohar. Volume 1, paragraph 250.

          We see here the esoteric understanding of the English word, orchard, such as in apple orchard. I have seen this word used in the Scripture before I came across it in the Zohar, and understood it to possibly mean the Garden of Eden, but didn’t know for sure. After that, I saw the word orchard used in the Zohar to represent the deepest level of the mysteries, but I didn’t understand the genesis of the word.

          We find that genesis in paragraph 250 where we are told that the Hebrew word translated orchard is pardes. Now paragraph 250 tells us that this word, pardes, stands for, or consists of the initials of the words. The p stands for pshat, which is the literal meaning of the torah, the r stands for remez, which are the hints and the illusions in the Scripture, d stands for drash, the homiletical interpretation [homiletical has to do with preaching the Scripture and applying it to a moral value], the s of pardes stands for sod, which is the mysteries of the Scripture. These are the four categories of rabbis or Kabbalah students that I have talked about in other messages: Pshat, those who believe in the literal meaning of the torah, remez, hints and illusions [these rabbis dance and sing], drash, preaching, and sod the mysteries. These are the four different classes of rabbis and their study of the torah that I have told you about on several messages, where I have also related them to the church.

          The Zohar tells us that one of the four sages entered into the river, Pishon, that’s the river or the letter Peh that alludes to the peshat, the literal meaning. This means one of the four sages embraced the literal meaning of the torah, which shines in the orchard. The word, pishon, we’re told means, my mouth repeats, signifying that the mouth repeats or teaches the literal meaning.

          The second sage entered into the river of Gijon. Now this version of the Zohar is amplified and the amplification here says that the river Gijon refers to Moses. But, the meaning of the word, Gijon, is, whoever goes on his belly. I cannot receive this to be Moses, so if I’m wrong let the Lord show it to me, but I cannot receive it at this time.I’m inclined to say that this second river that comes out of Eden, which is associated with the second level of students of Kabbalah, the Remez group, this copy of the Zohar says that the Remez deals with hints and illusions, but we also know that they’re the ones that sing and dance. I don’t really know how to explain the hints and the allusions, so I’m just going to let that go at this time. But this second river Gijon associated with the second category of Kabbalah students refers to the belly energy center. The word, Gijon, means whatsoever goes on the belly. The amplification here, this author says, has to do with Moses, but I don’t receive it at all, unless the Lord shows me otherwise.

          The Zohar goes on to say, of him it is written, of who it is written, of the one who goes on his belly. Now we know it’s the serpent who goes on his belly. So this is talking about the carnal man who tries to enter into the secrets of torah. Then the Zohar says, of this one who goes on his belly, the one who is a serpent, the one who goes into the torah with his carnal mind. This man whose way is hidden and from whom Elohim has screened himself. Well, I’m not sure what this means, but my guess is to this man whose way is hidden, his own motives are hidden from him. He doesn’t even know what his true motives are and from this man, this man who doesn’t know what his own true motives are, Elohim has screened himself. Okay now, this amplification of the Zohar goes on to impute this to Moses. Maybe it’s true, but the Lord would have to witness that to me because I’m not receiving that right now. Now the text of the Zohar goes on to say, no man knew the place of his burial. So I guess that’s where the commentator draws the conclusion that this paragraph is about Moses, but I’m having a problem receiving this, so I’m just going to go on. We’re told that this is the part of Remez, the hints of the torah, and wise men are informed by hints. Hints means that you just hear one word or two words and you get a whole understanding of what the Scripture is hinting at. See, I’m taking my material from different sources. This is the area that Rabbi xxxx our on-line teacher associates with the singing and dancing.

          So I’m not too clear about that myself. But the third of the four stages entered into the river Chiddekel. We’re told here in paragraph 251 that this alludes to a sharp faultless tongue that is quick in giving homiletical explanations. Remember homiletical explanations means a study of the Scripture that draws a moral, that imputes morality or draws morals or conclusions that help people in life. That means you see deeply into the person who’s in this river. Chiddekel sees deeply into the Scripture and can apply it to human life and to the morals that it is teaching us. Now the fourth of the four stages enter the Prat. That’s the Euphrates, which is the inner most stream where procreation occurs. This is paragraph 251. So we see that the procreation came forth from the Euphrates and the book of Revelation, King James, Chapter 9:14, says; saying to the six angel which had the trumpet, loose the four angels, which are bound in the great river Euphrates. Verse 15; and the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour and a day and a month and a year, for to slay the third part of men. So we see that the four angels that come forth from the Euphrates in the book of Revelation can be related to Chapter 251 of the Zohar. We’re told that what this means is that this Euphrates is the place of procreation. Procreation means something new is being born. So the four angels coming forth, I would believe to mean, my guess at this point is that that would be Christ. Not necessarily 4 angels but, perhaps four-sided angels, or completed angels. Remember, we are angels when Christ is revealing Himself through us. Also remember that Adam was four-sided, but became a 3-sided creature when the Serpent stole one of his sides. Adam was a square, but became a triangle when he fell.

          I always said something like that, coming forth out of Euphrates, that it was the sons of God coming forth. So here we have a witness in the Zohar that the Euphrates is the inner most stream and that’s the place where the new birth comes forth from. So we’re told here that the moral of this whole account of what the orchard means and that’s what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about the spiritual significance of the word, orchard. We’re told that these two sages entered into the shells of the torah and were affected by them. So it’s saying people can learn the literal meaning of the torah and be affected by it. People can learn the remez meaning of the torah which is hints and illusions. I really don’t know how to apply that to the church. But you can read the Scripture and you can listen to it preached and it can affect you, but it was Rabbi Akiva who entered the inner part of the torah and he is said to have entered and come out in peace. Now remember, peace means salvation. The only peace, the only true peace, is the putting down of the powers and principalities within us. There are four ways to approach the Scripture and they’re all good. The literal meaning is good. The meaning where you expound on the hints of the Bible is good. Using the Bible to preach and show morals and the right way to live is good. But if you want to come out in peace, if you want the powers and principalities within you put down to the point where there’s no more conflict within you, and to me that means sinlessness, to do that you have to enter into the inner part of the torah, the place of generation where the son is born in you.

          I remind everyone reading these notes that in order to have this experience of peace where your sin nature is completely overshadowed and nullified and paralyzed, first Christ must be grafted to you and formed in you and then you must face your sin nature. You will never defeat your sin nature and enter into peace without looking at it and seeing it for what it is and knowing that it is a part of you. Our sin nature is a part of us that must be dominated and controlled by the Christ within us for us to enter into peace, which is eternal life.

          Going on to paragraph 252. We are told that Chokhmah and Binah together are called ancient and Keter, which is above Chokhmah and Binah, is called the most ancient among the ancient. We’re told in paragraph 254 that Chokhmah is called eyes. The right eye is the upper Chokhmah and the left eye is the lower Chokhmah. Further we’re told that the two tablets that Moses gave to Israel were Binah and Malkhut. You may recall from a recent teaching in our meetings that Binah and Malkhut together are the Shekinah. Binah is the upper Shekinah and Malkhut is the lower Shekinah. So we’re told in paragraph 254 that the firs two tablets that Moses came down with were Binah and Malkhut. The right tablet is Binah and the left tablet is Malkhut and that these two, Binah and Malkhut, correspond to the two eyes. Now according to paragraph 254 the second two tablets that Moses came down with were not the same as the first two tablets. According to paragraph 254 of the Zohar, we’re told that these other two tablets that he came down with were from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. So the first two tablets were from the Tree of Life and the second two tablets were from a lower grade, from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. This means that from these two lower tablets the torah was given in a manner of permitting and forbidding, and the aspect of the right, it gives life, but from the left it gives death. This was not the case with the first two tablets. The first two tablets were all life, but Israel showed that they were not ready to receive that life, because of the sins of the golden calf.

          So Jehovah had to give them His covenant on a lower level. We’re also told in paragraph 254 that the destruction of the first two tablets manifested in the World of Action as the destruction of the first and second temples. The first temple is derived from the right tablet, which is the upper Chokhmah, Binah. The second temple is derived from the left tablet which is the secret of the lower Chokhmah, which is Malkhut. This is very interesting. I have never seen this principle before, that we’re told that there is an upper and a lower Chokhmah. The upper Chokhmah is represented by Binah and the lower Chokhmah or the lower wisdom is represented by Malkhut.

          Now we’re told in paragraph 255 concerning the first two tablets that were broken, we’re told that they were broken down here in the World of Action, but that they were never broken in the higher worlds because the first two tablets are Chokhmah. Chokhmah is called eyes. The right eye is the upper Chokhmah and the left eye is a lower Chokhmah manifesting as Binah and Malkhut. So we’re told that those two stones which we’re told are pure marble stones, only broke down here, which means they really didn’t break. When the Scripture says they broke down here in the World of Action, all it meant is that they were denied to the Hebrew children and Moses had to go back up and had to get the covenant of the law on a lower grade because Israel could not receive the upper and the lower Chokhmah, the upper and lower wisdom because of the sins of the golden calf. They had to receive the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

          This is especially interesting to me because years ago I had a dream that I was a receptionist in a school and the building of the school had marble stones, beautiful beautiful marble stones for the floor. When you walked on the stones, they made beautiful sounds. So now I know that the marble stones and the sounds that they make are the beautiful sounds of the wisdom of God, which is a higher grade than the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. There’s no evil in them. I’m trying to remember what I read in another place and it’s eluding me. But I know the first time I read that there was a tree of knowledge that was all good, the first Kabbalistic book that I read, where it didn’t say the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, it said the Tree of Knowledge and there is no evil in it. That is Chokhmah, upper Chokhmah and lower Chokhmah, symbolized by the marble stones. Remember, Keter, Chokhmah and Binah can never be destroyed. Only the emanations that they emanate down into the lower planes of consciousness can be destroyed.

Veil: Veil over the mind is a lack of understanding. Kabbalah Study Lesson 6 page 3, bottom of the page.

            Concerning Rabbi Haim Vital’s Tree Of Life and his level of study. This is the reason for the abstract study of Kabbalah where we talk about letters and numbers in the ears and the nose and mouth of Adam Kadmon. We did many many messages on the Hebrew letter H that comes out of the ears of Adam Kadmon. The reason for this abstract study, the Lord told me today, is that it reveals the spiritual truth of our spiritual being and at the same time bypasses the conscious mind which would be resisting if the conscious mind could hear these spiritual principles applied to the human person. The conscious mind resists many of these spiritual truths, refuses to believe them, but when the conscious mind studies abstract Kabbalah and absorbs these principles, it is breaking down, because that is the truth and the Spirit of Truth is entering into their heart and their mind, therefore breaking down for the future the resistance of the conscious mind that would say, this cannot be true of me as a human being. So long as the person has already studied and absorbed this abstract teaching, it makes it that much easier for the truth when applied to the person to be accepted by the conscious mind of mortal man. This revelation was given to me on Saturday morning, Feb. 23^rd 2002 as I study from the Tree Of Life, Etz Chayyim, the textbook which is the foundation of our #531 series A Look At Kabbalah.

            In particular, reading the instruction on pages 186 thru 188 entitled four alefs from the letters Yod, Hey and Vav. We know that the sefirot are all one inside the other and Etz Chayyim teaches that when the light of the nose... well let me say it this way. The light which comes from the lower part (like the nose is lower than the ears) when the light emanates from the nose, it covers over the light from the ears and that which is inside (so it would be the light from the ears) is inside the light from the nose, that which is inside becomes the soul of that which is outside. The Lord is telling me that this is our foundation for spiritual or for multiple incarnations. Let’s say that Moses, that Michael (if that’s the correct term) the Lord hasn’t corrected me on that yet. The angel Michael incarnated as Moses and Michael became the soul of Moses. Then Moses incarnated as Elijah and Moses became the soul of Elijah. Then Elijah incarnated as Jesus and Elijah became the soul of Jesus. Now I wonder if that isn’t why Jesus cried out for Elijah when He was on the cross. He was saying, Elijah, Elijah, depart from me. He was saying to Elijah, His soul or His higher nature, depart from me so that this flesh body could die. Isn’t that interesting? From that same point of view, the Lord Jesus when His seed is grafted to us, Christ Jesus within us, becomes our soul. I have taught that the soul is the personality, but with this new teaching or Kabbalistic teaching, I would have to say the soul is the whole man, not only the personality, but the whole spiritual man. And Christ Jesus would be our soul. Therefore when David in the Psalms cried out, O my soul, be not cast down, he was actually talking to his spiritual man, which would have been Elijah. We would call him Christ Jesus today, which is the next generation. But David was actually saying, O my soul or my higher soul or my God given soul, my neshamah, which is Elijah, do not be cast down under the carnal mind because if you are cast down under the carnal mind, I am undone. I always thought that scripture meant that David was saying to his soul, don’t be discouraged or don’t feel bad. But in view of this teaching, I would have to say, David was saying to his soul, to his higher nature, to his Christ nature, do not be cast down under my carnal mind. I am in agreement with you, with Christ within me. I am not in agreement with my carnal mind. Do not come down under the authority of my carnal mind.

            The light of the Ayn Sof that entered into the empty space is the same light whether it comes out of the ears, the nose, the mouth or the eyes. This light becomes thicker as it descends. The light of the nose is thicker than the light that comes from the ears and the light that comes from the mouth is thicker than the light that comes from the nose, thicker or denser or more visible. So how can we say that the light is the same in the ears and the nose when that light is thicker in the nose? The answer is that what causes the variation in thickness or in density of the light is not the light, the nature of the light, but the distance that the light is located from its original source. The further the light is from its original source, the thicker or the denser it is. Therefore, the light is all the same light no matter where it flows from. It just becomes thicker as it moves further and further away from its original source, which is the inner most part of Adam Kadmon.

            I have found an explanation in Etz Chayyim concerning the seals that we find in the book of Revelation. I’m looking at the book of Revelation right now, Chapter 5 verse 4: And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. I find the explanation of this scripture in our textbook from message #531 Etz Chayyim on page 192. This is the explanation. We’re told that Binah is the seal. One of Binah’s names is the higher mother. Malkhut is the lower mother and Binah is also the seal. There are seal openings. First of all, let me say this. Binah is called the seal because her Yesod is the place from which all the patterns are formed and sealed. I believe the Lord told me that this means Binah’s Yesod is where the nature and the pattern for the Godly mind and personality of humanity originated. It’s talking about spiritual geneticism, spiritual genes. The patterns or the genetic code for the spiritual man in God that will have eternal life is found in Binah’s Yesod. Remember that Binah is the mother that is bringing forth Ze’ir Anpin and Ze’ir Anpin and Nukva are bringing forth humanity in this World of Action.

            Now we’ve already been told by Rabbi Bar Tzadok in some of his writings that there is something called five gevurot and also five chasadim. Rabbi Bar Tzadok has told us that Ze’ir Anpin gives these gifts, the five gevurot and the five chasadim to Nukva when he marries her. I surmised up until now that the gevurot, which sounds like Gevurah, have something to do with five elements of judgment and the chasadim have something to do with five elements of mercy. But here we see the whole explanation that these gevurot are called strengths. They’re called five strengths and they are given to Nukva when she marries Ze’ir Anpin, which is her ability to pass on the mind of Christ. I remind you that Ze’ir Anpin is Christ Jesus and Nukva represents the human personality or more specifically, Abel, operating through the human personality. The Doctrine of Christ teaches that first there is a marriage between Christ Jesus and the personality and then Christ Jesus marries the Lord Jesus to fully save that personality. So what we’re being told here is that the union between Christ Jesus and the personality is the first stage of marriage. The personality that Christ Jesus marries is given gifts, five gevurot, which are the strengths to impart the nature of Christ to other people. She’s also given five chasadim, five mercies, because as we all in this ministry know, imparting the nature of Christ can be a brutal experience because imparting the nature of Christ requires the destruction of the carnal mind, and the exposure and the destruction of the carnal mind, which as we have all experienced, can be very painful.

            Rabbi Haim Vital in the Tree Of Life, tells us that these five gevurot are actually five of the Hebrew letters and they are also called the seal openings, which are 5 aspects of the mouth, throat, the palate, the tongue, the teeth and the lips. Now remember, the seal is our spiritual genetic heritage, which is in Binah, and that spiritual genetic heritage has to be activated. We’re also told here in The Tree Of Life that another translation of the Hebrew word translated open is to engrave. So the meaning of this verse in the book of Revelation is, who can take these seals, which is the genetic heritage of the higher mother, Binah, and engrave them on the people of humanity. Opening the seals means to engrave with the seals. The opening of the seals is the opening of the mouth that speaks the words that engrave the nature of God upon humanity. These five gevurot come out of Malkhut. The scripture ordains that this engraving of the nature of God on fallen man will come as a result of words that are spoken, which are generated by the Spirit of Christ, from a human being. This is the principle that as the five gevurot are transmitted from one human being who is married to Christ Jesus to another human being, out of those five gevurot, all of the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet emerge. It is these twenty two letters that produce the full man, Christ Jesus within us, which will ultimately bring us to full salvation and eternal life. We are talking about creation. We’re talking about active creation, brethren. Creation is still going on and it’s going on in the midst of human beings.

            Now you may recall that we learned in the #531 series that the roots of Rachel and Leah come out of Binah. But at the time that I taught those lessons, I really did not understand what the function of Rachel and Leah are. Now I’m told that Rachel and Leah ultimately are partzufim that emerge out of Malkhut. Rachel and Leah represent the speech and the voice. The five passages of the mouth are called field openings. That is the throat, the palate, the tongue, the teeth and the lips are called field openings through which Rachel and Leah speak anointed words that transmit these gevurot, these strengths, to engrave the nature of God upon human beings. We are also told on page 193 that Binah is the mouth proclaiming great things which scripture comes out of Daniel 7:8 and 20. The church takes this scripture, a mouth proclaiming great things and imputes these great things to a spirit of pride, which is arising out of the anti-christ. But the Lord told us all the way back when we preached Message #71 that the little horn that speaks these great things is not the anti-christ, but is Christ, and that the great things that He is speaking are the promises of what we are to become, the kind of beings, the high level of humanity that we are to become in Christ Jesus and here is our witness coming from Rabbi Haim Vital in his book, The Tree Of Life, which is a second witness to what the Lord told me years and years ago that the little horn is Christ, not anti-christ.

            These gevurot, these strengths to engrave the nature of Christ on human beings are concealed in the sound of the voice and in speech. This is a witness to you of what I’ve been telling you all for years, that without any warning Christ Jesus can rise up and speak through my mouth and it is up to the disciple to recognize that it is no longer me speaking, but that Christ Jesus has risen up and is speaking through me. Our text book, The Tree Of Life says, that these gevurot are left hidden within the face [the Doctrine of Christ would say “personality”] and that the Lord can bring them forth whenever He chooses. When the Lord is not speaking, when it’s the human being speaking, as far as the Lord is concerned, that person is dumb silent. That means that any words that we say that do not come out of Christ or the wisdom of Christ, as far as the Lord is concerned, you’re not even speaking. From past teachings I can tell you that the Lord calls whatever you have to say that comes out of your carnal mind, noise, which means that it is worthless as far as spiritual pursuits are concerned.

            Now remember, the Hebrew letters, when we read about the Hebrew letters, we’re talking about the ongoing work of creation. The work of creation is to bring forth humanity in the image of God and immortal man.

            Now we’re told in The Tree Of Life that Binah is the seal and she is the secret of the seal openings. Now the seal openings are the throat, the palate, the tongue, the teeth and the lips. Basically, what is being said here, is that all of these aspects of the mouth are filled with the gevurot, which have the ability to engrave the nature of God onto a human being. The New Testament scripture that I relate this to, is that we’re told that men are saved by the foolishness of preaching. The preaching seems to be foolish to carnal men, but it is through the voice and speech that the nature of God is imparted and this is a spiritual manifestation that only takes place when the person speaking or preaching the scripture has in their possession the five gevurot. So this is another way of saying, according to the Doctrine of Christ, that you can only receive the nature of God through preaching, when the preacher has the Spirit of Christ, when the preacher has the Spirit of Christ as opposed to the Holy Spirit. When that individual is married to Christ Jesus. If Christ Jesus has not married your personality yet, you have the Holy Spirit, which is the female aspect. You may recall from the messages on The World Of Points that when the female aspect goes forth to engrave a nature, she lacks the male gland. She does not have the holy genetic heritage, so therefore the job of the Holy Spirit is to direct us to Christ. What does that mean? The job of the Holy Spirit is to bring us to a place where Christ Jesus will marry us and when He marries us, He gives us these gevurot, these five strengths, which are the ability to have the full twenty two letters, which are the power to fully form us in the image of God within our own being, and to impart then impart the gevurot to others.

            Jesus said, a sower went forth to sow seed. We have known that that seed is the seed of Christ, but we are given more information on page 201 of Etz Chayyim, where we’re told that Abba gives Imma a drop and that that drop contains both substance and form. This drop of Abba joins with Imma’s drop. We learned in another place (I think the red drop is Imma and the white drop is Abba) but I may have it backwards. Those two drops together form the seed. That’s just another way of saying zygote, which this ministry was teaching thirteen years ago, talking about Adam, the zygote of God. We’re also told on page 201 of Etz Chayyim that this seed, when it is sown, is the lowest level of the heavenly constellation. So when the seed of Christ is sown in a man, that man receives the nefesh level of soul of the heavenly constellation, the beginning of the new or the holy Jerusalem that is descending from heaven. We’re also told that this seed, which is the nefesh level of the soul of God, has the power to shape the material substance of the body and to make it into a reception room. Now I don’t think that this is talking about the physical body. I think it’s talking about the etheric body. The sentence is, “this seed or this nefesh has the power to shape the material substance of the body and make the limbs which are a reception room for the lower soul.” So I believe that these limbs are the etheric body. What’s interesting to me is that I have had several dreams over the years about a reception room and I was always the receptionist in the reception room. I thought these dreams were just telling me that I was really much smaller than I might think that I was, that all that I am is a receptionist which sits at the gateway, you might say, to the kingdom of God, for those people who are interested in pursuing it. But now I see from Etz Chayyim, that everyone that has the seed of Christ is a reception room for the whole heavenly man, the holy city, the whole spiritual man, Christ Jesus. We are the reception room, which He will enter into ultimately, hopefully, in His fullness. So we see that our limbs or our etheric body or perhaps our physical body (I’m not really sure) are a reception room, both for the Lord. Our limbs are a reception room or a point of mediation where people in this world who are looking for God, can come. Human beings, if they can recognize Christ in us, can come to us and we are the reception room through which, if the Lord grants them permission to enter in, they can enter in and view at least the nefesh, the lowest level of the heavenly kingdom. I have read that Judaism does not believe in a Mediator, but here is the Kabbalistic foundation for a Mediator right in the teachings of the most highly respected Kabbalist of today.

            I did have a dream several years ago while i was in Nigeria about a spiritual man. For some reason this man came up as Charlie H. He was coming to the reception room and he was granted permission to go in. He went in and he looked around at all of the riches that were on the other side of the reception room. I do believe that that dream was fulfilled by J. I forget her last name. At least that was what I perceive the Lord is telling me. J had been associated with Charlie H’s church. So as of now, my revelation is that J was the fulfillment of that dream. She was the spiritual man that came into the reception room which I and the ministry that I have charge over am, and she looked around. She saw the Doctrine of Christ and she saw what was going on here and that was the end of the dream, that she just looked around. We know that in this natural life she looked around and she left. I think she left because she didn’t fully understand what she saw. Praise the Lord.

            On Page 203 of Etz Chayyim, we are told that Ze’ir Anpin and Nukva are called the body because they are the lower seven sefirot of the World of Emanation. So if we are told that we are the body of Christ of the true church [not the carnal church but the spiritual church which is the body of Christ], that means to be a member of the body of Christ, we must have Ze’ir Anpin and Nukva manifesting in us, and this is the two lower levels of the heavenly constellation. Nukva is BaN 52 and Ze’ir Anpin is MaH 45. So according to this teaching, to be a member of the body of Christ, you have to have more than this seed of Christ. The seed of Christ is just Malkhut or just Nukva. So in order to be a member of the body of Christ, you have to have the full Christ Jesus married to Abel within the personality manifesting in you. Of course, as I have always taught, the body of Christ is spiritual and to be a functioning member of the body of Christ, you must be spiritual and you must be functioning spiritually on the spiritual planes of the heavenly constellation. So it makes sense to say that you’re not truly a member of the body of Christ until Christ Jesus, which is Ze’ir Anpin, is fully functioning in you. Of course for him to be fully functioning in you, he must be married to Nukva, which is Abel in you, which is your personality, the positive side of your personality.

            Page 204 of Etz Chayyim says that the crown on the head of Ze’ir Anpin is the extra soul of Abba and Imma. We’re told in a footnote that the extra soul is the added infusion given only on the Sabbath which returns to its source during the week days. This is talking about the marriage of Ze’ir Anpin to Nukva. The spiritual sabbath is a spiritual outpouring which occurs when Ze’ir Anpin marries Nukva or when Christ Jesus marries the personality, which includes Abel. There is a special anointing that comes forth. Now according to Kabbalah, this marriage only lasts for a season and then Ze’ir Anpin and Nukva separate. The times of separation are called the week days. The times of union are called the sabbaths. But we know that because we now have a Savior in Christ Jesus, Christ Jesus marries our personality permanently and this infusion of extra power or extra soul or the mind of Christ, abides with us always because of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus is wearing many crowns in the back of the book of Revelation in Chapter 19:12. I’ve always said that that is not the Lord Jesus riding on the white horse with the many crowns, but that it is Christ Jesus, which is the body of Christ in the people of God. So here we have a witness to that, that Ze’ir Anpin, who is Christ Jesus, is the one who wears the many crowns. That image in the book of Revelation signifies the many members of the body of Christ, all crowned with the extra soul or the mind of Christ, of Abba and Imma, who are wisdom and understanding. Praise God. The white horse would be the human individuals or the personalities, the purified or the righteous personalities. The man on the horse is our spiritual Savior, Christ Jesus. The crowns signifying Abba and Imma, of course, is the Lord Jesus Christ, the glorified Jesus Christ. 

Mary [transcriber of these notes]: When I typed page 5 where it says gevurot are these five strengths, I had a flash image of David standing before Goliath with five stones.

Zacchaeus Climbs A Tree
To See Jesus
October 13, 2000

Luke 19:2, And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

        3, And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

         4, And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. KJV

Zacchaeus, [who] was ascended is leviathan’s timeline, wanted to know who Jesus was, but his mind (press=vehicle) was not mature enough (stature) to understand. So Abel, the superior one (ran before) amongst him (untranslated-1519) came to the forefront (before) and ascended (climbed) into the higher centers of the fig tree (sycamore) within Z, and Z was permitted to cross over (pass) from leviathan’s timeline into Adam’s timeline, for the specific purpose of recognizing (see) that Jesus was messiah.

The fig tree signifies Israel, the carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

Luke 19:5-6

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

And when Zacchaeus entered into Adam’s timeline, he recovered his spiritual sight (looked up) and Jesus urging (haste) him said, Zacchaeus, throw down your fiery serpent, because it is necessary (must) that you dwell (abide) in the household of I [Am] today.

 

6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. KJV

and Z cast down [his fiery serpent], and Jesus admitted (receive) him [into the world of] calm delight (joyfully)

THE WORLD OF POINTS

WHY DID IT DIE?

I.

The Birth of the World Of Points

           The second aspect that Adam Kadmon brought out from the inside of himself were the hairs of his beard, which extended out from the most inclusive Name SaG(63). After that the Cantellation marks of the Name SaG(63) -- which is the Ears, the Nose, and the Mouth of Adam Kadmon -- extended down to the Navel. After that, the remaining aspects of the SAG which were inside of Adam Kadmon did not come outside at all, because they were enclothed within the Names MaH(45) and BaN(52).

            Then, the outer aspects of MaH(45) and BaN(52) also wanted to come out, so all the inner aspects of the Name SaG(63) -- which had been concealed within the inner light of the Names MaH(45) and BaN(52) -- rose up, and those inner lights of MaH(45) and BaN(52) went up with them becoming the "female waters" to the cantellation marks of the Name SaG(63), which were no longer enclothed within the Names MaH(45) and BaN(52).

            The cantellation marks of the SAG then coupled with the whole of the Name AB, and the outer aspects of the Name BaN, the female, were born, and took their place surrounding Adam Kadmon below His Navel.

            After this, the cantillation marks of the SaG(63) and the whole of the Name AB(72) coupled again, and MaH(45), the son, Ze’ir Anpin, was born.

II.

Inside And Outside Of Adam Kadmon

Aspects Of The Names MaH(45) And BaN(52)

Below Adam Kadmon’s Navel (World Of Points)

            After the diaphragm1 was revealed at the midpoint on the inside of Adam Kadmon, however, the inner aspect of the Names MaH(45) and BaN(52) of Adam Kadmon turned around and went back down to spread within Him from the Navel downward.

            The revelation of Adam Kadmon’s diaphragm prevented the outer aspects of the Names SaG(63), MaH(45) and BaN(52) from seeping back into the inside of Adam Kadmon.

            The main Light required by the World of Points is returning Light (Light which ascends from inside of Adam Kadmon, shines out of his Eyes, and descends to the World of Points, which is surrounds the Adam Kadmon, below His Navel).

            BaN(52), the Light of the World of Points (returning Light outside of Adam Kadmon), is destined to be married to the male MaH(45) after He is born.

            The Light on the inside of Adam Kadmon, below his Navel (the "inside" of the World of Points) is "straight" light which penetrates outward through the skin from the Navel downward.

            This "straight" Light of the World of Points, illuminates the World of Points through the pores of the skin, the opening of the Yesod, the Navel, and the opening in the rear.

III.

The Bride, The Groom & The Serpent

            So we see that the returning Light that shines out of Adam Kadmon’s Eyes and descends below His Navel is "the Bride," and the straight Light that penetrates outward from the inside of Adam Kadmon below the Navel, is the "illuminating Light," which brings intellectual enlightenment. Does this sound familiar? Can you see Adam, Eve and the Serpent in this scenario?

IV.

The Death Of The World Of Points

    ACCORDING TO KABBALAH 

            Kabbalah says that the World of Points died when the Vessels of the World of Points shattered because they could not adequately process the Light that was poured into them.

            The reason for this problem was that the 10 Sefirot of the World of Points came out in a straight line, one under the other, because the Lights that came out of the Eyes of Adam Kadmon (which were to form the World of Points) could not see the Lights that previously came forth from Adam Kadmon's Ears and Nose, which were to be guideposts for the placement of the left and right columns.

            The Light of Adam Kadmon's Mouth was the guidepost for the placement of the center column so, since Adam Kadmon could only see the Light of Adam Kadmon's Mouth, all 10 Sefirot lined up, one on top of the other, in the place of the center column, and the rest is history.

            We are told that it was inevitable that Adam Kadmon would be blinded to the Lights of his Ears and Nose, and that God planned the death of the World of Points because it was the only way to form Adam Kadmon into the now familiar three-column configuration.

            "Life comes out of the death" we are told, and this is the only way to fulfill the Will of the Creator. The World of Points did not fall because of sin. Neither did the shattering of the Vessels have anything to do with the fall of Adam. All was ordained by God. Everything is as it should be.

            Mortal man's raison d'etre (reason for existing) is to help the Creator restore to the worlds above the sparks of Light that fell into this World of Action when the Vessels shattered, which is taking such a very long time because, to accomplish the task, we must first be perfected by keeping of the Law, and performing good works (mitzvahs).

V.

The Death Of The World Of Points

ACCORDING TO CHRIST-CENTERED KABBALAH

            Events that are initiated in the highest world repeat themselves in every plane of consciousness that exists, or is ordained to exist, below the world of origin. Each event changes in form, but not in substance, as it passes through the planes of consciousness, and appears in the various worlds of each plane.

            The account of Adam, Eve and the Serpent in the Book of Genesis, for example, is the outplaying in the World of Action, of the events that led up to the shattering of the Vessels of the World of Points. The substance, although not the actual events in the World of Action, is the same as that of the World of Points:

            THERE IS A MALE IN THE OUTPLAYING OF BOTH WORLDS --

            In the World of Points, MaH(45) is Ze'ir Anpin, the Son of Wisdom (AB(72)) and Understanding (SaG(63));

            In the World of Action, Adam is the male, the husband of Eve.

            THERE IS A FEMALE IN THE OUTPLAYING OF BOTH WORLDS --

            In the World of Points, BaN(52) is the Bride;

            In the World of Action, Eve is the female, the wife of Adam.

            THERE IS A MARRIAGE IN THE OUTPLAYING OF BOTH WORLDS --

            In the World of Points, there is a "third coupling" (according to Rabbi Chayyim Vital), which is between MaH(45), the bridegroom, and BaN(52), the Bride (which are the Son and Daughter of the AB(72) and the Cantellations of the SaG(63) of Adam Kadmon;

            In the World of Action, Adam and Eve are man and wife.

            THERE IS A SHATTERING EXPERIENCE IN THE OUTPLAYING OF BOTH WORLDS --

            In the World of Points, the Vessels break and fall down to the world below;

            In the World of Action, Adam and Eve are forcibly expelled from the immortal side of the Garden of Eden.

            THERE IS A DESCENT IN THE QUALITY OF EXISTENCE IN THE OUTPLAYING OF BOTH WORLDS --

            In the World of Points, some sparks of the Light are trapped in the shards of the shattered Vessels which fell down into a Lower World;

            In the World of Action, Adam and Eve (and their descendants) are trapped in the unending cycle of reincarnation, from which they are powerless to disentangle themselves. 

            According to the Doctrine of Christ, Adam's wife was formed from the substance of the Primordial Rahab (see, Message # 523, Rahab; Adam & The Two Judgments). The Woman had an evil side which she inherited from from Rahab, her father, and a good side which was added to her when she married righteous Adam. Her evil side was her true nature, but her good side was just "a gift," which she would only have so long as she was joined to Adam. Her goodness did not arise out of her own nature.

            The Woman was always vulnerable to the influence of Rahab, her father, because she had inherited his nature and Rahab, who manifested himself to his daughter as the Serpent, the unconscious part of the Woman's mind, whispered to her "to come home to his nature" continually.

            Eventually, the Woman fell prey to the whisper of the Serpent, turned towards her evil side, and became the enemy of righteous Adam, her husband. Adam must have discerned the Woman's change of nature on some level of consciousness because he had been instructed by Jehovah that this could happen until such time as the Woman's nature was changed to righteousness through union the Jehovah. But Adam, who had never experienced evil, believed the illusion that his wife's nature was still good, rather than the truth. Today, we call such a reaction, "denial."

            Adam, then, blinded by the Serpent's witchcraft manifesting through the Woman, did not defend himself against "the enemy within," but passively allowed himself to be joined to the Serpent's nature through the agency of his wife (Gen. 3:6).

            NOTE: According to the Doctrine of Christ, Rahab is a spiritual female who is acting out a male role, to the extent that she brings forth spiritual offspring.

VI.

The Fall, According to

CHRIST-CENTERED KABBALAH

      In Kabbalistic Terms 

            The Son (MaH(45)) and Daughter (BaN(52)) of the Wisdom (AB(72)) and the Understanding (SaG(63)) of Adam Kadmon, were destined to marry after they were both born to the outside of Adam Kadmon. But the female, who was born to the outside of Adam Kadmon before the male, was seduced by the inner aspects of BaN(52), her own female, inner self, with the promise of intellectual enlightenment.

            The inner (unconscious) aspects of BaN(52) (the Woman) then penetrated the outer (conscious) aspects of her own, other self (BaN(52)) from the inside of Adam Kadmon, and the outer (conscious) aspects of the Woman (BaN(52)) married her other, inner (unconscious), female self, instead of MaH(45), the Son, before MaH(45), her Bridegroom, was born.

            This illegal, spiritually homosexual marriage, then, has resulted in the formation of the lower worlds in the image of the Serpent, rather than in the image of the Wisdom and Understanding of Adam Kadmon, and the offspring of that unholy union is appearing today as the Carnal Mind of mortal man, which is the cause of all suffering, torment, disease, and repeated, painful incarnations, by which we experience death over and over again.

Nicodemus (Alternate Translation of John 5:1-4)

John 3:1-5 (KJV)

1        There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Alternate Translation

1        There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2        And the carnal mind of Nicodemus^[1]  said, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher of God because no man could do the miracles that you do unless God was with him,

3        And Jesus said to Nicodemus, I'm telling you the truth, unless [Adam] is born again within a mortal man,  [that mortal man] cannot recognize the Kingdom of God^[2] [in another man],^[3]

4        And Nicodemus said, [Adam] is born a second time [when Ze=ir Anpin] enters [the Shekinah], the [lower] Garden [ofEden,^[4]  but the Shekinah has departed from Israel]. How, then, can Adam [of] old be regenerated [in a mortal man]?^[5]

5        Then Jesus answered, [saying], I'm telling you the truth [Nicodemus], unless the [spiritual] waters^[6]  of a mortal man are regenerated by the Spirit [of God], he will never enter into the Kingdom of God.

[1]         The Name, AJesus,@ does not appear in the Interlinear Text of verse 2, which reads "the carnal mind (night) [of] this same [Nicodemus, who was a ruler of the Jews], appeared and said,.... 

Jesus knew that Nicodemus was speaking out of his carnal mind.           

[2]           The Kingdom of God is the Neshamah aspect of the soul (the Mind of Christ).

A  RESPONSE TO THE KABBALISTIC PRINCIPLE

That The Female Is Higher Than The Male In The Rectification

Kabbalah

Primordial Forces

The Ayn Sof is the never changing ultimate anti-reality. As such, it can be called passive. Creation on the other hand is dynamic and ever-changing. As such, it can be called active. Passive and active, are the two primordial forces in existence. One seeks movement, the other seeks stillness.

Metaphorically speaking, the passive elements in creation are called Female and the active elements are called Male.

In Creation, the place of  the female is always one step higher than that of the  male. This order was reversed due to the breaking of the Vessels and the corresponding sin of Adam.

This is why the majority of believers preparing to return to the  original estate of the creation today, are female.

Why, Then, Would Jesus And The Apostles All Be Males, If Women Are To Be Higher Than Males In The World To Come?

2000 years ago was not the appointed time for humanity to return to the exalted first estate of the creation. Messiah  (Jesus) and the Apostles were male because their ministries manifested in this  world, rather than in the World To Come.

Male (Active) And Female (Passive) According To

Christ-Centered  Kabbalah

The worlds are  a "mirror image"  of the Ayn Sof and, accordingly, reciprocal laws apply. Passivity is a feminine quality in the worlds, and action is a male quality. But the Ayn Sof is not subject to the law of a  differentiated  creation.

The passivity of the Ayn Sof  arises out of of the absolute integration of passivity and action manifested as  "the simple Light of the Ayn Sof."

The passivity of the fallen  creation is weakness in relation to to the strength of action.

The passivity of the Ayn Sof is the cessation of  conflict.

The passivity of the creation is repressed  conflict, which can bubble to the surface at any time.

The masculine action of  creation is one manifested aspect of the integrated  Ayn Sof.

There is no marriage or giving in marriage in heaven. Neither will there be sexuality as we now know it,  because each member of restored  mankind will be both male and female. 

The body and emotions are female, but the mind of Christ and the rectified personality are male.

Some kabbalists believe that the female will be higher than the male in the rectification  because SaG, the female/Mother aspect of the

Heavenly Constellation within the individual, is in front (of Keter and Chokhmah), the male Sefirot which are closest in nature to the Ayn Sof.

It is inaccurate to conclude that the female   will be higher

than the male in the  rectification because SaG (Mother) is higher than MaH (Ze'irAnpin/Christ Jesus),  because the true,  albeit concealed male force of the creation, Keter  enclothed within Chokhmah, is hidden behind the active SaG. 

The active male, Mah, the Son of  Chokhmah  and Binah, is subordinate to the active female SaG, His Mother, only in the REVEALED CREATION.

The true male, active  strength of the creation is the passive strength of the integrated Ayn Sof,  which is woven together with the higher grades of the concealed Keter.

So we see that the  passivity of the concealed, integrated whole is the true active male strength of  the revealed creation; and that the action of the female SaG, through her Son (Ze'ir  Anpin/Christ Jesus), in creation (which arises out of the separation from the  integrated whole) is, in fact, female in relation to the integrated whole.

Wherefore, the action of  the revealed creation is female in relation to the male integrated passivity of  the higher grades of the Keter. Accordingly, neither passivity nor action in the  revealed creation can ever be male in relation to the integrated whole of the  Keter's highest grades.

The Mother (SaG) reveals herself through union  with Malchut, the dauhter, and through her relationship with the Mother, Malchut  ascends to the place of the third Sefirot (Binah/Mother), which is above the Son  (Ze'ir Anpin/Christ Jesus/MaH). This is why Many kabbalists say that the female  will be greater than the male in the rectification.

But male authority over the female will never be  reversed in God.

The Father, who is joined to the Keter above Him,  will join with the Son below Him; and, just as Malchut, the Daughter, will  ascend to the throne of her Mother in the world to come, Ze'ir Anpin, the Son,  will ascend to the throne of His Father, from where the Son will rule and reign  over all creation.

Wherefore, the  activity  of the Mother and the Daughter will be under the male authority of the Son in  the world to come.

Wherefore the subordination  of the male to the female is an illusion which is indigenous to the revealed creation alone,

The  Father, who is attached to the Keter above, is in all of the Sefirot (Ze'ir  Anpin, the Son, and Nukva, the Daughter, both emanate from Father and Mother), and  is over all of the Sefirot, including the female SaG.

This very error, of failing to perceive the over-all dominion  and penetration of the concealed Completeness into the revealed creation, is the foundation of the Babylonian worship of the  mother and infant child.

God bless you all.

Holy Spirit

Mortal man is a ruined garden inhabited by the fiery serpent, who is Cain and Abel, with Cain visible and Abel invisible. Cain and Abel are the simple female (BaN) and male (MaH) aspects in the primitive Garden. They are known collectively as [the female side of] "Adam," or "the Woman."

BaN that is born of the union of Chokhmah and Binah, with elements of the inner aspects of MaH and BaN, is called "Daughter." This Daughter has both male and female aspects, as well as elements of wisdom (Chokhmah), understanding (Binah) and a knowledge of the will of God (Keter, which is inseparable from Chokhmah).

The Daughter, alone, is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil. This Daughter is the Holy Spirit.

Just as the Tetragrammaton was originally on the inside of Adam Kadmon, and then emerged as individual "inner aspects," on the outside of Adam Kadmon, the fiery serpent is the "name" that all mortal man are born with on the inside of them.

After birth, the inner aspects of the fiery serpent begin to emerge and appear on the outside of the infant. If we follow the pattern of Adam Kadmon, we can say that Abel can be likened to Chokhmah, Cain can be likened to Binah, lower Abel can be likened to the male (MaH), and lower Cain, the female (BaN).

Again, following the pattern of Adam Kadmon, Abel (AB) would emerge first, followed by the higher aspects of Cain (SaG). The lower aspects of the higher Cain (SaG), all of the aspects of the lower Abel (MaH), and all of the aspects of the lower Cain (BaN) would remain on the inside of the new human being.

Again, following the pattern of Adam Kadmon, the lower aspects of the higher Cain (SaG) would then desire to ascend, and the inner aspects of Abel (MaH) and Cain (BaN) would ascend with them.

After that, two things would happen:

The higher Cain (SaG) and Abel (AB) would couple and the higher Cain (SaG) would give birth to the Daughter (also called the outer aspect of fiery serpent).

This Daughter/fiery serpent, then seduces the simple Cain and Abel that are still on the inside of the garden, and Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, and Leviathan, the subconscious part of the carnal mind are born. The Daughter, the outer aspect of the fiery serpent, is the conscious part of the carnal mind. The Daughter has two aspects, mind and spirit. The Daughter is the conscious part of the carnal mind, and the spirit, which is on the outside, or in the outer recesses of the mind, is the unHoly Spirit of the carnal mind. In the case of the carnal mind, the true man never comes forth.

In this present divided age, the Holy Spirit of God, which is sent to us by the the glorified Jesus Christ, stands at the door to the garden (mind of mortal man) and attempts to penetrate the seal, or diaphragm, which is Cain, and revive Abel, Cain's husband behind the wall. The revived Abel then hungers and thirsts for God, which hunger and thirst draws Christ Jesus, who stands at the door of that person's mind and knocks, and does not cease from knocking until Cain, the seal, or the diaphragm, in the mind of the mortal man that covers the revived Abel to keep him from being fertilized, yields up Abel to Christ Jesus.

The Holy Spirit of God is transferred to the inside of mortal men by the the laying on of hands. It's higher aspects then emerge to the outside, where they are revealed as "the gifts of the Spirit," which manifest from the eyes, ears, nose and mouth of the individual having this experience.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit of God are the evidence that give us reason to hope that Christ Jesus will graft to the simple aspect of Abel within us, who has been revived.

It is possible for the inner aspect of Abel to be revived as a result of the faith that rises within us when we hear and believe the Word of God.

So we see that there are two Holy Spirits. One is the spirit of the outer aspect of the carnal mind, and the other comes from Jesus Christ, who overcame his carnal mind, was glorified, and is now reproduce his victory, by grafting sparks, or seeds of Himself to mortal humanity.

Comments On Elijah 4/7/02

Right now I’m reading in the Soncino Zohar and I’m in my computer program so I don’t have a page or a reference to the book.  It is Soncino Zohar, Bereshith, Section 1, page 93A if that helps anybody.  I was doing a word search on Elijah and I find the following sentence.  Our teachers have also taught that the reason why Elijah was punished was because he brought false charges against God’s children.  I had a real problem with that.  I said, Lord, I don’t understand that Elijah was punished and I don’t understand that Elijah brought false charges against Israel.  Now just before this sentence it’s talking about Elijah arising to the place where he heard the still small voice that said to him, what doest thou here, Elijah?  That’s 1Kings 19:9.  And Elijah answered, I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of Hosts, for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant.  I know that’s what Elijah said when the still small voice spoke to him.  It says here in the Zohar that the Lord’s response to Elijah’s statement was; As thou livest, wherever my sons imprint this sign upon their flesh, you shall be there.  And the mouth (meaning Elijah’s mouth) which charged Israel with forsaking the covenant shall testify that Israel is now observing the covenant.  Then it goes on to say our teachers have also taught that the reason why Elijah was punished was because he brought false charges against God’s children.

          Now I could not deal with this.  I said to the Lord, first of all, I think although I never really addressed the issue, I think that I thought that Elijah was without sin.  I know that I teach that Elijah was not born of a woman and that Michael had incarnated as Elijah without being born of a woman and I do believe I thought Elijah was without sin.  So I was shocked to read this in the Zohar that first of all that Elijah had accused the children of Israel falsely and I said to the Lord, but isn’t this true, that the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant?  How could that be a false accusation?  Then I was offended to hear that Elijah was punished.  So I prayed and I said to the Lord, if this is correct, you have to help me because I don’t receive this at all.  So I really need you to help me if this is correct.  The Lord responded to me immediately and He said to me, yes, Elijah was punished when he was cast down.  Remember when Jezebel chased after him and Elijah was completely cast down?  That’s why the angel had to come and strengthen him and he had to ascend through the wind and the fire and the earthquake and finally the still small voice.  I said to the Lord, well yes, of course.  I never thought of this before, but Elijah could not possibly have been overtaken by Jezebel if there was not one big hole in his hedge.  So I now must face the reality that Elijah had sin even though he wasn’t born of a woman and he was incarnated directly by Michael, he still was a man that had sin and that was a revelation for me.

          Then I went back to the other issue saying, well wasn’t Elijah telling the truth when he said the children have forsaken your covenant?  How could that be a false accusation of Israel?  This is what the Lord said to me.  He showed me that sentence again; What are you doing here, Elijah?  Elijah said, I had been very jealous for the Lord, the God of Hosts, for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant.  Now what was Elijah doing there?  Why was Elijah seeking the still small voice?  Elijah was seeking to be fully restored to the World of Emanation.  Elijah was in a very high place.  So God said to him, what do you want?  What are you doing here?  In other words, why are you in this position where you need to be petitioning me to be restored.  In other words, the inference is how did you come to fall down?  What happened to you that you fell down, Elijah?  Elijah manifested a spirit of pride.  He defended himself.  He said, I have been very jealous for you Lord, the God of Hosts, and the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant and I’m in this trouble because I was good and I was righteous and I was jealous for you, Lord, but those wicked children of Israel attacked me and knocked me down.  Elijah took no responsibility whatsoever for the sin that had to be present in him because we cannot be knocked down if we are without sin.  So here we see the sin of pride in Elijah justifying himself; I have been very jealous for you, Lord, and blaming the children of Israel whom he had been sent to deliver.

          Just to bring that up to date, another way to put that is that when a son of God is sent to a rising son to attack their sin nature so that Christ can come forth in that rising son or in that younger son and Satan rises up in that younger son and attacks the older son and that older son gets either knocked down spiritually or hurt physically, it is not acceptable to God to blame that young son because we cannot be hurt physically or knocked down spiritually unless sin is found in us.  I tell you all of the time that when I get knocked down because I’m ministering to you, you must confess your part in it, but be careful to not condemn yourself because I could not be knocked down if sin was not found in me.  So here we find out that Elijah had the sin of pride.  I find that so interesting.  Also what comes to my mind, for me personally, is an exciting word that I don’t think, to the best of my knowledge, I have not been knocked down spiritually from ministering to someone, from challenging someone’s carnal mind on behalf of the Lord to help that person.  I have not been knocked down spiritually from that kind of ministry in a very long time.  Although my body still gets attacked and I still from time to time become ill because someone’s carnal mind attacks me.  Only recently I had that intestinal blockage which I believe was an indirect result of my ministry to Mary.  So my body is still vulnerable, but I have not been knocked down spiritually.  So I’m moving forward in the right direction.  But isn’t that interesting, Elijah had the sin of pride. (Laughter) I never ever stopped to consider how come he was knocked down.  Praise the Lord.

          Praise the Lord.  According to the Soncino Zohar, Bereshith, Section 1, page 151B, Elijah is an angel.  We’re told the reason (well, there’s a story, a parable here, about a well.  It says the waters of the well rose up to meet Moses and Jacob.  Then we’re asked why did this not happen to Elijah when he fled to meet the well?  Why did the waters of the well not rise up to meet Elijah as they rose up to meet Jacob and Moses?  The answer in this paragraph of the Zohar is the reason is that Elijah is beneath the well and not above it, as Moses and Jacob were.  Hence, Elijah is an angel who executes messages.  The Zohar goes on to say further along that when a female becomes pregnant from a male because the desire of the male is predominant, the soul of the child that is born has unusual vitality.  So here we’re told that Elijah was born, but I’m still sticking to my belief that he was not born of a woman.  It just says he was born and he was born by the desire of the male, which means the male Godhead in heaven.  So we’re told that Elijah’s birth contributed, the fact that it was a male that desired his birth, contributed to him being born with a special degree of vitality and therefore he did not die like other men.  So again this is lining up with Jesus’ incarnation.  He was incarnated by the male angel Gabriel.

          Now we’re told that Elijah did not die like other men because his whole being was derived from the Tree of Life and not from the dust.  So Elijah was an incarnated angel.  I’ve been preaching all along that he was an incarnation of Michael.  Then the Zohar goes on to say, he therefore without suffering death, went up on high.  We know the Scripture says that he went up by a a whirlwind into heaven, which indicates that Elijah’s spirit was stripped of its body and that he departed this life, not in the manner of other men, but became a holy angel like other heavenly beings, carrying out divine messages in this world.  Now we’re told in the Zohar, now observe that it is written further (and this is a quote from 1Kings 19:4 talking about Elijah now) and he requested for himself or for his soul to die.  Now here’s sin again.  That’s not the mind of Christ, requesting that your soul should die.  We’re told in the Zohar this implies that he, Elijah, turned to the tree wherein death lurks.  So in other words, here we have a second sin of Elijah.  He was knocked down by Jezebel in the sons of Israel and instead of looking to God to be his salvation, he turned to the tree of life and death, which is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.  So that, also, is the sin of pride.

          But when Elijah made that petition, when Elijah turned to the tree of death, we’re told in the Scripture that after Elijah turned to the tree where death lurks, God appeared to him and the Scripture says, God said, go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord.  So that word, God, is probably Elohim.  Go and stand on the mount before the Lord, which is usually Jehovah.  Then we’re told after that an earthquake and after the earthquake a fire.  Until Elijah heard the still small voice which signifies that Elijah returned to the very innermost point which is the source of all illumination.  When Elijah heard this still small voice, he wrapped his face in his mantle.  You know, I never used to understand why Elijah wrapped his face in his mantle.  He was ashamed before the Lord.  He must have had a revelation that he had fallen when he turned to the tree of death, but the man was so anointed and blessed of God that even though he turned to the tree of death, the Lord sent an angel, which is to say God came and spoke to him.  See, there was no chance for that tree of death to respond to him to take his life.  The Lord wasn’t going to have it, even though Elijah made a mistake.  Then when Elijah ascended and returned into his right mind, into his ascended mind or into his neshamah, when he saw the Lord, he must have realized that he had sinned.  Therefore he wrapped his face in his mantle.  He tried to hide from Jehovah, realizing his sin.

          Then the Scripture says, then a voice came into him and said, what are you doing here, Elijah?  He was caught.  His sin was completely exposed and in the hour that Elijah’s sin was exposed, his answer was I have been very jealous for you, Lord.  I’m really okay, Lord, I really didn’t do anything wrong.  Then he said it’s all the fault of the children of Israel.  You know what that sounds like to me, Adam saying, it’s that woman that you gave me, Lord.  She’s the cause of all my problems.  So we see that even though Elijah was an incarnation of the angel Michael, he was very much a man.  We’re told that Elijah was a man in the Scripture.  He was a fallen man.  Isn’t that interesting.  He blamed everything on that woman who was appearing as the sons of Israel.  Then we’re told, the Zohar goes on to say, that that voice which is Jehovah, the Tetragrammaton, said to him, well how long are you going to continue to be jealous of me?  In other words, how much longer will you be fighting for the righteous spirit?  You have already closed fast the gate so as to secure yourself from death.  You’re already above death.  So why are you continuing to be jealous for me?  I’m not really sure what that means because then Elijah replied, for the children have forsaken thy covenant.

          Well, the only thing I can get out of this right now is that Elijah said, I have been very jealous for the Lord and God said to him, how long will you continue to be jealous of me?  You’ve already ascended above death.  Why are you still fighting my battles?  The understanding that I have right now is that for Elijah to have said I’ve been very jealous for you, that means that Elijah was fighting the Lord’s battles with his carnal mind.  The Lord came to him and said, well why are you fighting my battles for me?  You have already ascended above death which means you’re suppose to be dead and the mind of Christ in you is suppose to be fighting your battles.  How come you’re still doing it yourself?  Oh I think this is the answer.  I think I’ve got it.  The implication here is that this is the reason, this is the sin that was manifest that caused Elijah to fall.  He was fighting that battle for the Lord in his carnal mind and in his carnal mind he had that spiritual strength.  You may remember, what Elijah did was that he used mind control on the sons of Israel and he covered over their carnal minds which were risen up in high spiritual power to the point that the Scripture calls the sons of Israel, the prophets of Baal.

          Elijah came and with his mind control covered over those carnal minds and repressed it and put those carnal minds under Elijah’s Christ mind.  But it was only a temporary solution, you see, because there was no repentance on the part of the sons of Israel.  So at some point, the sons of Israel came up, out from under Elijah’s power and they went after him and knocked him down.  So we now see the secret of the conversation between Elijah and the Lord after Elijah ascends to the place where he’s hearing that still small voice, to that high place in the mount.  The Lord is explaining to him, the reason you fell, Elijah, is that you’re not suppose to be jealous for me after you enter into life.  You are not suppose to be fighting my battles in your carnal mind after you ascend above death.  You are suppose to be dead and it’s my life in you that’s suppose to be fighting those battles and this is why you fell down.  Alleluia!!!

          We’re further told concerning Elijah that when Jezebel threatened Elijah, it is not written that he feared. Now according to this rendition of the Zohar, the English translation would say, Elijah feared. Whether or not that actually appears in the King James, I don’t know at this moment. I would have to look it up. I guess I have to look it up. Okay, now the Zohar is referring apparently to some English translation that is different than the King James. It says here in the Zohar, when Jezebel threatened Elijah, it is not written that Elijah feared, but that he saw. When I went into my on-line program of the King James version, I see that the verse that the Zohar is referring to is 1Kings 19:3. In the King James version it does not say feared. It says saw. When he, or when Elijah saw that, he rose and went for his life. So apparently we have a good translation in the King James here. So the Zohar goes on to comment saying, what did Elijah see? What was it that he saw? The Zohar says, he, Elijah, saw that the angel of death had followed him for a number of years. Now remember, this verse comes right after Jezebel’s threat. 1Kings 19:2 says, Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah saying, so let the gods do to me and more also if I make not thy life as the life of one of them (one of the prophets that Elijah just killed) by tomorrow about this time. Now of course I don’t believe Elijah killed the prophets, but they died to Jezebel’s service and Jezebel was saying to Elijah, just as you did to them, just as you cast down their carnal minds, I’m going to cast down the mind of Christ in you. That’s what I believe it means.

          So back to the Zohar commentary now.  Then in the very next verse, let me remind you, 1Kings 19:3 says, And when he, or when Elijah saw that, he arose and went for his life.  So the Zohar says what does that mean?  What did he see when Jezebel said that to him?  The Zohar says Elijah saw that the angel of death had followed him for a number of years, but Elijah had not been delivered into his hand.  Then the Zohar says, and the verse continues where it says and Elijah went for his life, which literally means, and Elijah went for his soul.  That is to say he, Elijah, resorted to the foundation of his soul, that is to say that Elijah proceeded to attach himself to the Tree of Life.  Nevertheless, in the next verse, in verse 4, we’re told that Elijah requested for himself that his soul should die.  This implies that Elijah turned to the tree wherein death lurks.  So this is the sin that Elijah knew that he had been under supernatural protection for years and yet, when Jezebel threatened him, his fear (and this is my interpretation-the Zohar doesn’t say fear) his fear, despite the fact that he saw, that he knew, that the angel of God had protected his life supernaturally for years, despite that, his fear drove him to attach himself to the tree of life and death.  He turned to the spirit of death saying let me die.  In other words, I do not have the faith that the Lord will see me through, even though I know that He has kept me alive supernaturally for all of these years.  Now that Jezebel has threatened me (this is Elijah speaking) I do not have the faith to believe that the Living God can sustain me over and above Jezebel’s threat.

          By that descent of mind, Elijah attached himself to the tree of death and make himself vulnerable to death.  He actually put himself in harm’s way, but the Lord had mercy on him and before the spirit of death could claim him, God came to Elijah and said, what are you doing Elijah?  What are you doing here?  That angel strengthened Elijah and he started to ascend and he ascended, as we all know, through the fire and the earthquake and the storm and the fire and the earthquake.  Then finally, when he got to the mount where the still small voice is, which is the innermost part of ourselves where the highest grade of God is and the voice said to him, what are you doing here?  Now what are you doing here.  See, I always thought that God was saying to Elijah, what are you doing in this high place?  But I don’t think that’s what God was saying to him.  Jehovah was saying to him, what are you doing here and I think that the word, here, means what are you doing here by the tree of death?  You are a man who has been living a supernatural life for all of these years.  What are you doing here where I’m finding you in this place of death.  What are you doing here?  And Elijah hid himself in his mantle because he knew that he had fallen before God.  You see, because someone who is in favor with God speaks to God face to face, but Elijah hid his face in the mantle because he knew he had fallen in his mind and he was ashamed before God.

          Please note that Elijah hid his face in the mantle before the voice came to him.  So I would even take that as an act of repentance or at least an act of confession of sin that Elijah was fallen because he wrapped his face in the mantle because he knew that he was ascending before his God.  Then the voice came to him and said, what are you doing, Elijah?  What are you doing here in this place with the tree of death?  And Elijah said to him, well I wound up in this place of death because I’ve been so jealous for you.  I’ve been fighting your battles and I fell down into this place where death is and it’s all the fault of the children of Israel because they broke their covenant with you.  So now God’s punishment for Elijah was (well before I say that, let me say this).  Earlier on this message, I said that I now realize that Elijah was punished and that his punishment was that he fell down, but I have to stand corrected on that.  God does not cause us to fall and God does not do evil to anyone.  What appears to us as evil, if in fact it comes from God, is always for our good and therefore from God’s point of view, it is not evil, because evil done unto us that results in our good is not evil, but it is good.  So Elijah’s fall, which there was no good thing in that, could not possibly have come from God, so therefore I now understand that the punishment from God because of Elijah’s transgression, Elijah went into pride, because fear is pride.  Then he blamed Israel, which is more pride.  Elijah’s punishment is as follows.

          This is again Bereshith, Section 1, page 209B.  But I think these are the old page numbers.  I don’t think these are the page numbers of the most recent edition of the Soncino Zohar.  But whatever, let me go on.  The Zohar says; Then the Holy One said unto him, as you live, in whatever place (talking to Elijah now) the rite of circumcision is performed, you must be present.  Now of course, this is a supernatural judgment, that wherever a male is being circumcised, Elijah must be present.  The reason that Elijah has to be present is that Elijah, the one who pronounced Israel guilty, must now be the witness that every time one is circumcised, that Israel is observing the law and Israel is righteous.  We can say that this judgment is now being fulfilled spiritually because Elijah is now a part of the being of the Lord Jesus Christ and everyone that has the seed of Christ grafted to them has the Lord Jesus, Elijah and Moses or the soul of Moses, Elijah and the Lord Jesus, which is one soul, which is one multiple soul, attached to them.  In order for one’s heart to be circumcised, well let me say one’s heart can only be circumcised if one has Christ grafted to oneself.  So if you have Christ grafted to you and then your heart is circumcised, Elijah, which is a part of the seed of Christ, is present at your circumcision and Elijah is one of the witnesses that is swearing to your righteousness.  Isn’t that interesting?  Praise the Lord.

          The Lord is telling me that the reason that Elijah wrapped himself in his mantle is that no one can come uncovered before the presence of the Lord, so that mantle that he wrapped himself in, was the mantle of righteousness, which was the Christ that was within him.  That Christ that was within Elijah is the very angel that came to him when Elijah was first lying in depression by the river.  

          New Paragraph requested here.  I have always wondered two things about the relationship between Elijah and Moses because I could not find anything in the Old Testament associating Moses with Elijah, but we do see the two together on the Mount of Transfiguration.  The other thing that I wondered about is the scriptural basis for Jesus being the incarnation of Elijah, because so far what I have read in Kabbalah, I see that Moses is called Messiah and that the Messiah, the son of David which the Jews believe is yet to come, they tell you will be a reincarnation of the soul of Moses.  So up until this minute I have not been able to deal with these two issues that I just laid out.  The Lord put me in a study in the Zohar today.  I’m reading in the Soncino Zohar and it’s called shemoth, that’s one of the sections of the Zohar.  I don’t know what it means.  Shemoth, section 2, page 197A and this is what I read.  Quoting the verse of Proverbs 30:4 in the King James.  Who has ascended into heaven and descended?  Who has gathered the wind in his fist and who bound the waters in his garments?  Who has established all the ends of the earth?  What is his name and what is his son’s name, if thou knowest?

          I find that so interesting because, although I’ve read the book of Proverbs many times.  I had no recollection of such an overt reference to a great one and his son?  Now the Zohar says, this verse has already been explained.  Who has ascended up into heaven.  This alludes to Moses.  Now this is the commentary of the Zohar.  The one who ascended up into heaven is Moses, of whom it is written quoting Exodus 24:1; Come up unto the Lord.  This is still quoting the Zohar.  According to another interpretation, who has ascended up into heaven, that’s quoting the King James now, alludes to Elijah.  So we have two different opinions on this scripture of Exodus 24:1.  One opinion says, the one that went up to heaven is Moses and the other opinion says that the one who went up to heaven is Elijah.  So the Zohar commentary continues, it may be asked how could Elijah have ascended unto heaven, seeing that the heavens cannot endure even so much as a mustard seed of the matter of this world.  How then can the Scripture say, and he (that is Elijah) ascended up by a whirlwind into heaven?  The commentary in the Zohar continues; But it was with Elijah as it was with Moses.  So here we see, as far as I’m concerned, this is the first time I have ever seen a commentary on the relationship between Elijah and Moses and here it is.

          Continuing with the commentary of the Zohar; In connection with Moses, it is first written (and this is exodus 19:20 in the King James.  It is quoted here in the Zohar; And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai and then the Zohar says, and further it is written in Exodus 24:18 quoting the King James now.  And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mount.  Back to the Zohar commentary now.  Now in as much as the Holy One, blessed be He, was on Mount Sinai regarding which it is written (and this is now quoting Exodus 24:17) and the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on top of the mount.  How could Moses have entered into the presence of the Lord.  That question is asked by the Zohar now.  Since the glory of the Lord was devouring fire on the top of the mountain, how could Moses have entered into presence, Moses being flesh?  Now the Zohar continues, the answer is found in the words (and this is quoting the King James now) and Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mount.  The Zohar goes on to say; This shows that Moses enveloped himself in the cloud as in a garment and having thus wrapped himself round, he was able to draw near to the fire of the glory of the Lord.

          Okay, now here’s the similarity with Moses’ experience and Elijah’s experience.  Still quoting the Zohar, in a similar way, Elijah of whom it is written, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven, so therefore it is written about Elijah that he went up to heaven by a whirlwind and the Zohar says, Elijah entered into that whirlwind and enveloped himself in it as in a garment and in this way Elijah ascended on high.  So we see that Moses could face the devouring fire of the Lord because he was wrapped in a cloud and that Elijah could go up to heaven because he was wrapped in the whirlwind.  Elijah entered into that whirlwind and enveloped himself in it as in a garment and that was how Elijah ascended on high.  So we see that Elijah and Moses have had similar (not the same but similar) ascension experiences and now we’re told in the Zohar the following recondite passage was working and it means not easily understood or having more than one meaning.  So the Zohar tells us the following recondite passage or the following mysterious passage or the following passage that could have more than one meaning is found in the book of Adam, the first man.  In that book we see a description of the generations of mankind and this is what it says now.  I’m quoting the book of Adam, the first man.  A certain spirit will one day come down to earth and will clothe itself in an earthly body and will bear the name Elijah.

          Now here we go, here is the scriptural basis for Jesus being the incarnation of Elijah.  Remember this was one of my two questions that I have not been able to understand since I was reading so much about Moses being Messiah, why does the New Testament say that Jesus is the incarnation of Elijah?  So personally, I believe that both Elijah and Moses are two lifetimes in a collective spiritual lifetime.  I believe that the angel Michael incarnated Moses and then the soul of Moses incarnated as Elijah and then the soul of Elijah incarnated as Jesus.  I’m not going to get into my whole doctrine of spiritual lifetime here, but those of you who study with me understand what I’m talking about.  So here is our scriptural basis.  Of course, it’s not the King James Translation, but it is a Zorahic basis, it is a Kabbalistic basis for Jesus being the incarnation of Elijah.  So when we look at the New Testament and we see Jesus speaking to the people and saying, who did you come out to see?  I think it’s very ambiguous as to whether Jesus was talking about John the Baptist, which is what most of the church believe or whether Jesus was talking about Himself.  He was probably speaking about the two of them.  Then Jesus told the Jews that were present, if you can receive it, this is the spirit of Elias.  Here is the Biblical foundation for that statement.  Now remember the Jews of Jesus’ day knew the Kabbalah.  So they knew what Jesus was talking about.  Well you might say, Sheila, the Kabbalah wasn’t written until the 11^th century or the 12^th century.  It first appeared in the 11^th century.  That was the first written appearance of it, but Kabbalah was taught to the Jews by word of mouth for as long as the Jews were around.

          So when Jesus told the Jews, if you can receive it, this is Elias, He was referring directly to this passage in the Zohar, which quotes another book called the Book of Adam, the first man.  Now I’ve gone on the internet and tried to locate a copy of this book and if it has been translated into English, I have not been able to find it.  So it is possible that it has not been translated into English.  Now getting back to the quote from the Book of Adam, the first man; A certain spirit will one day come down to earth and will clothe itself in an earthly body and will bear the name of Elijah.  Jesus fulfilled this.  Going on with the quote; While still in the body, he who is an incarnation of Elijah, he will soar aloft and divesting himself of that body, he will enter within a whirlwind where another luminous body will have been prepared for him.  Now isn’t that luminous body what we saw on the Mount of Transfiguration?  Is this not another way of saying that Jesus was in heaven and earth at the same time?  Okay, back to the quote from the Book of Adams, where another luminous body will have been prepared for him so that he will be an angel among angels.  You know, I always wondered about that experience on the Mount of Transfiguration.  I understood that Jesus revealed His true spiritual nature and I understood even before I ever went into Kabbalah, I understood that Elijah and Moses were a part of the incarnated soul of Jesus.  I always understood that, but it just seemed to me that this Mount of Transfiguration experience, that it just came out of nowhere with no lead up into it as why Jesus would do that.

          He just suddenly one day took Peter, James and John up into a high place and He was transfigured before them.  But according to our study now, we see that Peter, James and John should have known what was happening because these men, I believe must have known, for Jesus to do that, they must have been familiar with this passage from the Book of Adam the first man, that a certain spirit would one day come down to earth and would clothe himself in an earthly body and will bear the name of Elijah.  While in that body he will soar aloft and divesting himself of that body, enter within a whirlwind where another luminous body will have been prepared for him so that he will be an angel among angels.  Continuing with the quote from the Book of Adam.  But whenever he will come down to earth, he will invest himself again in a material body which will remain in the lower world and it is in this body that he will make himself visible on earth.  While it is in the other body that he will appear on high.  That’s the end of the quote.  Now the Zohar says, this is the recondite meaning of the words; who hath ascended up into heaven and descended.  Now that’s the Zohar quoting Proverbs of the King James.  Who hath ascended up to heaven and descended?  We’re being told in the Zohar that the meaning of this phrase, who hath ascended up unto heaven and descended, is explained in the Book of Adam, that this spirit is going to come down to earth and its name is going to be Elijah.

          Now we’re told in the Zohar another interpretation of this phrase from the King James, who hath ascended up into heaven, is an allusion to Elijah, whereas the words, and descended (from the King James) alludes to Jonah.  So we are being told here that Jonah was an earthly incarnation of Elijah and I find that so interesting because we translated the whole book of Jonah and came to the conclusion at the end of our study that Jonah entered into sinlessness, that he ascended into a state above death.  That’s the conclusion we came to.  Now we’re told that Jonah was an earthly manifestation of this spirit that we know to be Elijah.  So the Zohar goes on to say that this word, to descend, alludes to Jonah whom the fish caused to sink into the nether most depths of the sea.  Jonah was only made possible by Elijah.  That means Jonah was an incarnation of Elijah.  Elijah ascended and Jonah descended and the one as well as the other requested for himself that he might die.  So we see as a scriptural witness that Jonah was an incarnation of Elijah, that the two of them both Elijah and Jonah, wanted to die.

What’s coming to my mind right now is that Job had the same death wish also.  He said, I should have never been born.  Very interesting.

           Continuing to quote the Zohar.  Further the words, who hath bound the waters (now that’s quoting the King James) alludes to Elijah who bound up in a bundle as it were all the waters of the world so that neither dew nor rain came down from heaven.  Well I’m not going to read the rest of these quotes because it really doesn’t have to do with our study here.  I do want to put on here that I have been aware and am aware that there is a prophesy in Micah that Elijah will come to restore the hearts of the fathers to the children and that was the only scriptural basis that I had for understanding that Jesus was an incarnation of Elijah, but I was never satisfied with that.  It just didn’t jell in me, but this quote from the Book of Adam; Jesus is a direct fulfillment.  How could the Pharisees have not picked this up?  I think they did pick it up.  They had to pick it all up, but they just didn’t want to believe it.  So we see that Jesus is both Messiah Ben David, an incarnation of Moses and the fulfillment of the prophesy of this spirit called Elijah.  And why did Jesus say this is the spirit of Elias, if you can receive it.  Why didn’t Jesus say this is the spirit of Moses?  Once again, because of the spiritual lifetime.  The angel Michael incarnated Moses and then Moses was taken from the earth and then the angel Michael wore Moses as a garment and incarnated again as Elijah.  And Elijah, the man, was a garment that covered Moses who was covering the angel Michael.  Layers of soul and then the next time the angel Michael incarnated, he incarnated with two garments.

          The first garment of the angel Michael was Moses and the second garment of the angel Michael was Elijah.  So Michael incarnated under the name of the latest, the most recently acquired garment which is Elijah.  But now that Michael has incarnated through Moses and Elijah and Jesus, Michael takes the name of his most recently acquired garment.  And the angel Michael is appearing in the earth today as a spirit, not called Elijah, but as a spirit called the Lord Jesus Christ, the Spirit of Christ.  That Spirit of Christ is in the process of doing these outstanding miracles while preparing to come to a place where He will be doing the same outstanding miracles that Elijah did and that He did through the man Jesus.  So here we have a witness to the scriptural relationship between Moses and Elijah as they appeared in Jesus.  It’s the witness in the New Testament that they appear in Jesus.  Moses is the teacher.  Moses is the deliverer of the people.  Moses is the man that...(goes to next tape)...

..... is a spiritual entity.  Pharaoh, I think the way I preached it in the Doctrine of Christ is that Pharaoh is the union of the serpent and Satan and the devil in an individual.  It’s a high spiritual ascension that challenges Christ Jesus.  It’s a man that is Pharaoh, a highly spiritual ascended man in the spirit of witchcraft.  Elijah is the one with the miracle working ministry.  Yes, Moses worked miracles to bring forth the deliverance from Pharaoh.  Moses’ miracles were specifically designed to deliver the people from Pharaoh, but Elijah executed judgments.  He withheld the rain.  Elijah traveled in the spirit and Elijah dealt with Jezebel.  So what is the difference between Pharaoh and Jezebel?  Pharaoh is the highly ascended mind of the carnal mind.  It’s the highly ascended condition of the carnal mind.  Jezebel is the highly ascended carnal mind in a Jew or in a Christian.  A person that honors Jehovah, if you’re a Jew, or the Lord Jesus Christ if you’re a Christian, but you’re still manifesting out of your highly ascended carnal mind, you now become Jezebel.  Remember that Leviathan is the pride of the Jew or the pride of the Christian and the word, Leviathan, is only one or two positions after the word, Levi, in the Hebrew Lexicon.  The tribe of Levi, who are the priests, become Leviathan when the pride of the carnal mind overtakes the call of the priest on their life.

          So we see that Moses deals with the people who are still in their carnal mind and Elijah deals with the people who have Christ, but are refusing to give up the power that they have out of their carnal mind and use that witchcraft power against the minister of Christ that’s trying to bring them into the spiritual walk.  Moses had thousands of people that he ministered to.  Elijah had one spiritual disciple.  Moses had thousands of carnally minded people that he put under the law and Elijah had one spiritual disciple that he taught how to live in the spiritual worlds.  In Jesus Christ, we have both of these ministries.  In addition to these two ministries, the ministry of the ascended carnal mind in a man who doesn’t have Christ and the ministry of the ascended carnal mind in a man who does have Christ, the first being Pharaoh, the second being Jezebel.  Now in the Jesus ministry, we see Jesus ministering to and bringing forth Christ in twelve individual disciples.  Remember Moses dealt with thousands and the Jezebel that Elijah dealt with were the sons of Israel.  He also dealt with a collective many1membered people.  But Jesus we see ministering to His individual disciples.  Now Elisha was in training to be a prophet under Elijah.  As far as Moses and the people in the wilderness are concerned, the only thing that I could see is that Moses’ ministry to the people, to the Hebrews in the wilderness, was to equip them to enter into the land, to take the land.  That means to take their own personality and body away from the authority of the carnal mind.  Elijah was training Elisha to be a prophet.

          So once again Moses was with the carnal Jew and Elijah was with the spiritual Jew and Jesus Christ (it’s my understanding) had twelve disciples that He was training up to be sons of God, which means He was training them to overtake their carnal mind and take authority over their own personality and own body.  He was also teaching them to be highly spiritual people.  That is the definition of the son of God, to be one who goes in and takes the land away from the carnal mind, the land of their personality and their body, away from the carnal mind and also to become a highly spiritual person who is a prophet.  A prophet is the intermediary between God and man.  A prophet hears from God and gives the messages to man.  We are to be kings and priests.  As a king we rule over our own personality and body.  As a priest we intercede between the carnal minded Christian or Jew or anyone that we choose to have mercy on.  We are the mediator between the carnal person who’s in their carnal mind and the Lord Jesus.  As a prophet we are the messenger of the Lord Jesus to whoever He sends us to, to the carnal man; Jew, Christian, Greek, whatever.

          So Moses had the ministry of the priest.  He was training up the people to be the priest.  Elijah was training up Elisha to be the prophet and in Christ Jesus we have the same ministry that Jesus Christ had.  We’re training people to be both priest and prophet, although Jesus said we would do greater works than He did and the greater works that we’re doing concerning Jesus Christ is (well let me tell you this first) Jesus Christ’s mission was to be crucified, to rise from the dead and to ascend above this world out of the body so that He would be in a condition where He could pour out of His Spirit upon all flesh and therefore seed all of humanity with the life of God.  Now we, the son of Jesus Christ, and of course in the Book of Adam (I don’t know whether it was the Zohar or the Book of Adam- something that I quoted earlier) it says that spirit and his son.  So it even tells us that Elijah is going to have an offspring and the offspring of Elijah are the sons of God that are coming up in this generation.  Our job is to pass on the nature of Jesus Christ to all of these carnally minded people.  So we see a merging of Moses’ ministry, which is to the carnally minded man and of Elijah’s ministry which is to the spiritual man.  We, the sons of God, are to make the carnally minded men spiritual by engraving them with the nature of the Lord Jesus Christ.

HUMANITY,

THE ONLY INTELLIGENT LIFE FORM

IN THE UNIVERSE

The following are two statements extracted from the Preface of The First Ever Unabridged English Translation with Commentary of the Zohar, written by Rav Berg, Dean of the Kabbalah Center, which has campuses in Tel Aviv, Israel and New York City, New York, my response to Rav Berg's statements, and the revelation which came forth when the Doctrine of Christ challenged Rav Berg's position.

As is often the case, the ways of the Lord are a paradox (contradiction). I, as well as many present-day Torah scholars, disagree with some of the opinions and practices of the Kabbalah Center. Yet, this is the organization which is responsible for already existing and planned, future English translations of many great Kabbalistic works. I, therefore, thank God for everyone involved in the good works of the Kabbalah Center, and pray that the Lord will work all things for their good.

I.

Rab Berg's Statements

Early Kabbalists were intimately familiar with the celestial bodies and regarded their movements across the heavens as physical expressions of extraterrestrial intelligence. They viewed the constellations and planets as intelligent entities, motivated by internal energies, which manifest on earth as the four elements: water, fire, air and earth. (The First Ever Unabridged English Translation with Commentary, Vol. 1, p. 8, para. 3)

* * *

The physical orbital interplay between the sun, moon and earth, is the result of a higher cosmic intelligence that is the motivation of physically expressed orbital interrelationships. From a subatomic point of view, all physically expressed orbital entities -- the body of a man, for example -- are merely the evolvement of prior metaphysically motivated intelligences . . . . The physical expression cannot influence the prior cause of the expression anymore than the physical body of man can influence the original DNA. (Ibid., p. 10, para. 5)

II.

Sheila's Response

This is the truth for the heathen, but YHVH clearly told Abraham in this very Zohar, that when a man comes under the influence of YHVH, he is no longer subject to the dictates of the planets., i.e., the entities behind the physical globes.

III.

Sheila's Comments & The Revelation of the Lord

"The evolvement of prior metaphysically motivated intelligences" suggests that invisible "intelligences" incarnated both the planets and man.

The revelation that came down through the Doctrine of Christ is that the planets are the physical expression of powerful minds, all of which are now dead except Noah, whose planetary expression is the Earth. My carnal mind had it backwards.

I did have a revelation at one time that the Dragon stole Adam's Living Substance at the time of Adam's death and, with it,  became the architect of the physical universes; but that YHVH brought forth this present universe during one of the "Nights of Brahma," a time period consisting of trillions of years which  exists between the Dragon's universal incarnations.

Such an entry into the Dragon's universal system by an agent of the Ayn Sof would be a fulfillment of the Scripture that the Lord comes as a "thief in the night." That is, the Lord entered into the Dragon's own universal system to  redirect the now ever-expanding "mal-formed Essence of the Ayn Sof" back towards the Ayn Sof's own nature and image. This planetary analogy would parallel the glorified Elijah's incarnation as Jesus, the Christ, amongst spiritually dead humanity.

The same, intelligent, invisible influences that brought forth the physical planets also incarnated the human beings who expressed their nature in a humanoid form. In other words, the same entity that, incarnated the planet Earth incarnated Noah.

Remember that most humans are incarnated by the Dragon, but some enter into this world to participate in the work of Redemption on behalf of all humanity. Remember that reincarnation is an aspect of death. Therefore, eternal life cancels the process of reincarnation, which Jesus is bringing to an end.

Since, as far as we know, the Earth is the only planet that supports life, this could mean that, amongst all of the planets and stars, the Earth is the only planet incarnated by a living entity, i.e., YHVH.

This would mean that all of the stars and other celestial bodies are physical expressions of the disintegrated and fragmented "Adam who lived and died." That is, the Adam who disintegrated into all of his constituent parts (Abels), all of which now have an existence independent of the whole (Adam) through marriage to the Dragon. It would follow, then, that the earth is the physical expression of YHVH's regenerating force (Elijah incarnating as Jesus, the Christ) penetrating into the Dragon's dead universal system.

Scientists and some others would say that the Earth appears to be the only planet that supports life "as we know it." But I say to you that "life" in any form other than humanity is the Dragon's inadequate attempt to bring forth intelligent entities in her own image.

In other words, although living cells have been discovered on other planets, humanity is still the only known intelligent life form. This is because the Dragon stole "the Essence" of the Ayn Sof which was imparted to "the Adam who lived and died," but has failed to develop that stolen "Living Essence" into an intelligent life form.

Humanity came into existence only after YHVH entered into the Dragon's illegally formed universal system, to do what the Dragon could not do, i.e., bring forth intelligent life forms from the residue of the Embryonic Living Substance  of the Ayn Sof, out of which  "the Adam who lived and died" was formed.

The aforementioned principles are the response of the Male Mind of Christ to the Female Carnal Mind which asks:

Is humanity so egotistic as to think that we are the center of the Universes, and that Earth is the only planet which has produced intelligent life?

The answer is yes, Earth is the planetary expression of "a lamb amongst wolves," the only planet amongst all of the planets and stars of the physical universes, that was incarnated by YHVH.

The planet Earth is the physical expression of the eternal aspects of Adam Kadmon (Keter, Chokhmah and Binah) appearing in the midst of the Dragon's universal system to recapture the stolen Living Essence of the Ayn Sof and re-form it, once again, into the image of the Creator.

From this point of view, the "Earth" IS the center of the universe (the belief of the ancients), a concept considered "naive" by modern-day pundits who  base their opinions upon knowledge gleaned by the "physical eye," the servant of the Female Opinion, which is the fallen Carnal Mind of mortal man.

May all who have years to hear, hear.

God bless you all.
