I received a phone call this morning about someone who had a dream and I could not address my full attention to the dream or interpret it this morning because it was Sunday morning and I had no time. But one aspect of the dream was this. This person's mother was getting married to a man and I think his name was Dick in the dream. It was not a good marriage. It was known in the dream that this was not a good idea and her mother should not be getting married. I think also in the dream, her mother was already married. In this person's natural life, her parents never divorced. They've been living apart for years, but technically they're still married. So legally, she could not marry again. The person wanted to know what that would mean in her dream. So I'm asking the congregation here, in accordance with what we have learned so far about Kabbalah, what would mother indicate?

 

COMMENT: I said Malkhut.

 

PASTOR VITALE: Now, that's really close.

 

COMMENT: I said Nukva.

 

PASTOR VITALE: You have the correct answer. It's Nukva. Nukva is the personification of Malkhut. So to make it easier for you to understand, the attributes of God as expressed in the Ten Sefirot are qualities such as wisdom, understanding, force or power, identification with God and glory. Malkhut means kingship. In other words, Malkhut manifested in King David in Israel. We would call Malkhut Christ Jesus. The manifestation of Christ Jesus within a man makes us a king. According to the teachings of Kabbalah, the name of that attribute or that quality of God that descends into and becomes resident in a human man, to manifest the nature of God through that human man, is called Malkhut. For example, in other words, the Scripture says that man Christ Jesus is made unto us wisdom. So we know that the manifestation of the wisdom of God is available to us through the man, Christ Jesus. Now in that manner, the quality of sovereignty or kingship, which is an attribute of God, when it is imputed to a man, takes on a personal name. That's what personification means. The attribute of God called wisdom is personified in the person of Christ Jesus. That man, Christ Jesus, represents the wisdom of God to us. Now Nukva is a Hebrew word which makes things a little more difficult for us and it simply means the female because God is male and female. So Malkhut, which is the tenth sefirah, is personified to us as Nukva, the female. That's the same principle as saying the wisdom of God is manifested to us in the man, Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus. So Malkhut, the tenth sefirah, takes on a personality and when she takes on that personality, her name is Nukva. In like manner, we're told in our study of the Kabbalah, the second sefirah, wisdom, takes on a personality. Does anybody remember the name of the personification of wisdom according to Kabbalah? Wisdom in human form is called Abba, which is father. Wisdom is father. Understanding is mother.

 

Does anybody not understand what I'm talking about when I say the personification of an attribute of God? In other words, if I prophesy to you, at that moment, I am the personification of prophesy. I am what you see. You can't see prophesy. I am the visible thing that you could see, by which you can experience the prophesy of God. That's what I mean when I say the personification of an attribute of God. Malkhut is the attribute of God which is called kingship or sovereignty. It's that aspect of God, the tenth sefirah, that manifests itself through human men. We would know it to be Christ Jesus based on all of our studies of the New Testament. When you take that quality of kingship, the tenth sefirah is called Malkhut, but when you personify it, it takes the name of female, which is Nukva. We'll talk about that more because there is a coupling. I've been talking about spiritual sexual relationships or spiritual sexual intercourse for years here. Kabbalah talks about it in terms of coupling, meaning spiritual intercourse. That's what it means. So according to the teachings, Abba, which is father (wisdom) and Imma, which is mother (understanding) coupled together and they brought forth the other seven sefirot. The remaining seven sefirot are the offspring of wisdom and understanding. The other seven sefirot which are qualities and attributes of God are the offspring of wisdom and understanding.

 

Now according to my studies and I've told you all I'm teaching you as I study and as the Lord teaches me and I may have to admit later on that I've made mistakes. As I told you off the tape, I read in one book that there are three attributes of God called mother, but in the main book that I'm studying in I've only read about two so far. They're called the upper mother and the lower mother. The upper mother is called Imma (understanding) and Malkhut Nukva is the lower mother; the mother that appears in men. It's just the same principle. The same Christ is in us and the Glorified Jesus Christ is above. It's the same message, brethren. The Doctrine of Christ and Kabbalah have similar principles. A lot of them are the same. There are some areas of disagreement, but the basic foundational principles are the same. So why do we have to learn it in Kabbalah, in Kabbalistic terms? Because this is where the Lord is directing us. It is my opinion that He has some things to teach us that we really couldn't understand until we translated our understanding of the Doctrine of Christ into Kabbalistic terms because the advance teaching is not couched in the terms of the Doctrine of Christ. So this is where we're going and that's what we're doing, Lord willing. We will achieve everything that He intends for us to achieve.

 

So now we're talking about the dream and this is what the dream said to me. This person, this believer's mother was married, but was planning on marrying another man and that marriage wasn't good. Well, if mother is the lower female, Malkhut Nukva, that would mean the Malkhut Nukva in this believer is Christ. It's just another way to say Christ or Christ Jesus. I'm not sure which it would be in this case. That mother was getting ready to marry the wrong man and she was already married to someone else. Well Christ in this believer, is promised to the Lord Jesus. Now according to the natural example of this believer's life, her parents have not lived in the same house or lived together as man and wife for many years. When we live out of Christ, we are Christ. As far as God is concerned, we are Christ. She is married to the Lord Jesus by faith. But we are all married to the Lord Jesus by faith, but we haven't lived in the same house with Him or coupled with Him or had spiritual sex with Him since before the fall. Now Christ is heading towards marriage with someone other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Now as far as Kabbalah goes, who is Nukva suppose to marry? Malkhut Nukva is the female. Who does she marry? Does anyone remember?

 

She marries the male. There are Ten Sefirot. The ninth sefirah is the male and the tenth sefirah is the female. The ninth sefirah is called Yesod. None of us have a pronunciation key, so if you know Hebrew and we're making fools out of ourselves, just forgive us, okay? Yes, the ninth sefirah is Yesod and it means the male genitals. The tenth sefirah is Nukva and she's the female and they are married. You may recall that there are two married couples amongst the Ten Sefirot. The second and the third, Wisdom and Understanding, are a permanent couple. They are never separate. They come into existence bound together and they are inseparable. But down at the bottom, the ninth and tenth sefirot, Yesod and Malkhut, they are married only on the weekends. You may remember that teaching. Now technically speaking, the lower couple are Nukva and Ze'ir Anpin.

 

Let me put this on the board for you.

 

I have reproduced on the board, for you, the Ten Sefirot and the five partzufim; partzufim meaning personalities or personifications, just like we've taken the negative spiritual power and called it the Dragon. We've given it a personality so that we can work with it and understand it. We're very spiritually low, all of us. So in the Doctrine of Christ, the Lord has given personal names to the Fiery Serpent, the Dragon, Pharaoh and Satan, so that we can hope to get some understanding or the most understanding that's possible on the level that we're on, which is very low; believe me. We're very low. But we're ascending. The Lord has come down to meet us where we are. He's feeding us little by little. So we have the Ten Sefirot which are the ten attributes of God. Keter (unknowable) is beyond our ability to comprehend. When Keter does manifest Himself to us, He manifests as knowledge. When He does come down from His hidden place, He manifests Himself to us as knowledge. So the first sefirah that we can really deal with is the second sefirah. In the Hebrew, it's Chokhmah. Chokhmah is wisdom. The second sefirah is wisdom. This man, Christ Jesus, is made unto us wisdom. So the highest sefirah that really reveals itself to man has come down to our level in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ and even closer to us in the person of Christ Jesus in the midst of us. Christ Jesus in the midst of us is the offspring or the son of the Glorified Jesus Christ.

 

The third quality of God, in Hebrew, Binah, is understanding. Wisdom and understanding are a permanent married couple. They never separate. Now where are all these Ten Sefirot coming from? You may recall and let me remind you, that the Infinite One is so beyond comprehension that we don't even have a name for Him. We just call Him the Unlimited One or the Infinite One, Almighty God, the causeless cause who always was, always existed, and there's nothing greater than Him and nothing before Him. He filled everything and because He wanted to reveal Himself, He contracted Himself and pulled back, in the midst of Himself. He pulled back so that there was an empty space in the middle of everything of infinity. In the middle of infinity there came into existence an empty space. All of the worlds exist in that empty space. All of the planets, all of the universes, everything that can be seen and all the visible worlds and the invisible worlds exist in this empty space in the middle of Almighty God. Just for your information, this may be the right time to put this in. When I first preached about that, I told you that the book that I'm studying right now indicates that that space was empty and that there was nothing in it. I had a problem with that because I believe that God is everywhere and I couldn't receive that teaching that the space was completely empty.

 

I believe that what was in that space was a degraded measure of the essence of God or a degraded measure of light; a light that was less bright, more dark and less bright than the light of God. I did find that exact principle in another book. Remember Kabbalah is a collection of books. These books have been written across the centuries by different great minds at different time periods. So I did find another book which agreed with what I was saying, that it's impossible for God not to be anywhere. God fills all things. It's just a different gradation of God and there is a waste product that came into existence as God pulled back, as the Infinite One pulled back, but even the waste product is light. Why? Because all that there is in the universe and in the worlds, all that there is, is the Infinite One. His first attribute that He reveals to us is light. So therefore, everything that comes forth from that light has to be a form of light. Even darkness is a form of light. I had a problem with that at the beginning because light can only bring forth light.

 

But as the light descended, as the light mixed with the waste product, the light became degraded. It became less and less bright. So darkness is a form of light. We read in the gospel of John, confess your sins so that your light does not become darkness. I'm probably quoting that wrong. Again, as I preached it to you, the principle is as it's set forth in the book of Genesis. The whole creation is described as a series of days, evening and morning was the first day. Evening and morning was the second day. The whole creation is a mixture of the different grades of light. Another way to say this is that the whole creation is a mixture of the different grades of the power of God. Brethren, we're talking about spiritual alchemy. This whole creation has been brought forth by God Almighty through the mixing of His powers to produce whatever it was He intended to produce with that mixture; evening and morning. We only have night and day at the very beginning and then there's no more night and day; it's evening and morning, evening and morning, a mixture of the various gradations of the power of God to produce whatever He was producing at that moment.

 

So into this empty space, just to remind you, came forth one thread of light of the Infinite One. One thread of light entered into the empty space. Does anybody remember what the name of that thread of light was? Yes, the name of that one thread of light is Adam Kadmon. Adam Kadmon entered into the empty space that wasn't really empty. It was empty as far as we're concerned, but it was not empty as far as God is concerned. I'll get into that at another time. After Adam Kadmon entered into the space, the Infinite One started to pour Himself into Adam Kadmon. Adam Kadmon was acting as a filter. If the Infinite One poured Himself into the empty space where the worlds were being created without restraint, the power of the Infinite One pouring into the place where the worlds were being created would have destroyed His own creation. Therefore, He had to restrict Himself and quantify Himself and only pour in specified quantities of Himself, a little bit at a time. Adam Kadmon, you might say, was the reservoir or the holding tank. There were openings in Adam Kadmon. For the purpose of analogy, for the purpose of understanding, we're perceiving Adam Kadmon as a human being, but he was not a human being as we are. But we are imputing to him, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hands, legs, 248 body parts and 365 veins. Well, that blows my mind and I don't know what they are yet and I'm not ready to find out either. Right now, I'm dealing with arms, legs, hands, and nose, eyes and mouth.

 

So the Infinite One poured His essence into Adam Kadmon and that essence of the Holy One, of the Almighty, became light. The first manifestation, the first expression of the essence of God is light. So the light of the Almighty came into Adam Kadmon and started filtering through the apertures or through the openings in Adam Kadmon and the first thing that came out was Keter, which we don't really know anything about, but we're told that it manifests as knowledge when it does manifest. The second thing that came out was wisdom. Now remember Adam Kadmon is a reservoir, a holding tank for the power of God with a little opening in it. Did you ever bake cookies and put dough into a cookie cutter and have to squeeze it out? Adam Kadmon is filled with the light of God, but only small amounts of that light filters down because Adam Kadmon's function is to restrain the whole power of God from flowing into the empty space, so that everything that's created is not destroyed. The attributes of God just come out a string at a time, a thread at a time. The first thing that came out was Keter. The second thing that came out was wisdom, Chokhmah. The third attribute of God that came out or the third light that came out was, in Hebrew, Binah, and the English word is understanding.

 

They were attributes of God, lights of God, of different gradation. Wisdom and understanding are both lights that come from Almighty God, but they're different grades of light. So when we get up that high, how do we tell the difference between the light that's called wisdom and the light that's called understanding? Well, on this high spiritual level, I don't know, but I know in my mind I can tell the difference between wisdom and understanding. Wisdom is prophesy. Do you always understand the prophesy of God? This teaching is prophesy. Every teaching that truly comes from the Word of God, every word that truly comes from the mind of God is prophesy. Do you understand everything you hear? No, because I see the way you're all looking at me. No, you don't understand everything you hear. Yet we're told, where wisdom is, understanding is present. So that means if you have a teacher who is truly preaching by the wisdom of God, which I believe I am, in that teacher is the ability to help you to understand, because Jesus Christ does not give us wisdom without understanding. Of all of the experiences that I had as a young disciple, I will never forget asking a question to a pastor, who apparently didn't know the answer, and his response to me was, you don't need to know that.

 

Well brethren, I need to know everything. I may not be capable of understanding it right now and the Lord may not be putting it forth in a form that I can understand right now, but don't tell me that I don't need to know because I need to know everything. Everything in its time and in its place and according to the Lord's wisdom, but don't tell me that I don't need to know. The Doctrine of Christ is wisdom. Every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God is wisdom. God doesn't just give us parables. He gives us the answer to the parables. He gives us the explanation. He gives us the understanding if we are willing to submit ourselves, if we are willing to study to show ourselves approved, if we are willing to admit that we don't understand, if we are willing to put in the effort, He will give us understanding because wherever wisdom is, so is understanding, but understanding has to be born in us. See, we can hear wisdom. You could listen to these tapes, but the understanding has to be born in you. You have to absorb the wisdom to the point that the understanding comes forth, but it's there. The understanding is there in seed form if you just do your part, if you just humble yourself and do your part because wisdom and understanding are a permanently married couple. They came out from Adam Kadmon bound together. They came out from Adam Kadmon, two lights bound together, and they're inseparable.

 

We're told that this married couple has offspring. They brought forth offspring. That is the remaining seven sefirot; grace, force, power and authority, merciful authority. Tiferet is a mixture of grace and force. I call it the White Throne Judgment; that's my addition. Now this force and power called Gevurah, if I'm pronouncing it correctly, Gevurah when it is without grace, when it's completely by itself, we know it to be Satan. You see, the force that is personified with the name Satan is an attribute of God that has come out from under the control of wisdom, understanding, and mercy. It has also come out from under the control of Keter, whatever that means; high power and authority. Satan is the force, the might and the strength of Almighty God, who is out from under authority. It came out from under authority in a spirit of rebellion. That's why we must overcome Satan so that we can be delivered from our hellish existence. We must capture her. We must bring her back under the authority of Christ Jesus in us. That's the Doctrine of Christ. We've been preaching that for years. I heard the teacher that I was raised up under, say from the pulpit once, Lord, why don't you just take Satan out? Why don't you just kill him? The Lord told my pastor at the time, well if I did that, you would die. But that was the extent of the understanding that my pastor received.

 

Now we have a lot more knowledge and a lot more understanding. We understand that Satan is a personification of the power and the force that's in the world, like a wild stallion, who can serve us or can serve a farmer by pulling a plow or just being a horse that a cowboy rides on. That power and that force that was injected into the creation as a legitimate part of the creation is essential to the positive functioning of the whole. So the issue was not to destroy Satan, but to bring her back under the authority of Keter, Chokhmah and Binah. So just by way of review, Chokhmah and Binah are the inseparable couple and they came out bound together from Adam Kadmon and they coupled and they produced offspring. So the offspring are Chesed (grace) Gevurah (force) Tiferet (merciful authority which I call the White Throne Judgment) Netzach (victory) or in the New Testament, more likely known as overcoming, Hod (identification with God's thought and mind) also called empathy and Yesod, the male organ. So these five attributes of God, they did not come out directly from Adam Kadmon. They are the offspring of wisdom and understanding, which came out directly from Adam Kadmon.

 

Now can we relate that to the New Testament? To the best of my ability, I'm going to relate what I'm teaching you to the New Testament so that you can have a foundation by which to compare and understand what I'm saying. Now brethren, this principle exists in the New Testament. It's an area of great misunderstanding in the church. Jesus Christ was born from seed. Jesus Christ was born from seed. The angel, Elijah, the Glorified Elijah, came to Mary and entered into one of her physical ovum and impregnated her with his own life. We are not born from seed. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. I've heard preachers preach, well, He used to be the only begotten Son of God, but He's not now; what about me? Brethren, we are not begotten of God. We are cuttings of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have entered into the victory of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are the seed that has come forth from the Glorified Jesus Christ and that seed is grafted to us. It's just like when you go out and you buy your seedlings in the springtime. You can get a packet of seed and soak them and plant them under the ground and wait for them to break the ground or you can go into a nursery and get a little six pack with plants that are already started for you. When you plant seeds from a package, you don't know if they will all grow. But when you go to a nursery and you get a seedling that's started, you have a much better reason to believe that every one of those plants will come to fruition. Of course, one of those seedlings could die. You have a much better reason to believe they'll survive than you would believe that of seeds that are just dried seeds in a package.

 

Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. We are not begotten from seed. We are entering into Jesus Christ's victory. He's grafting Himself to us. The seed that's grafted to us is a cutting, a slice that has come off from the Glorified Jesus Christ. So in the same manner, these five attributes of God; grace, force, merciful authority, victory, identification with God's thoughts and the male organ did not come out directly from Adam Kadmon. They are the offspring of that which came out directly from Adam Kadmon. Can anybody not see how I'm relating this to our relationship to the Glorified Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ came out directly from God. Now He's giving birth to us. Is everyone okay? Now these five attributes of God, simplify things, help us to understand what God says we need to understand to ascend out of this place. The Lord has given a personality to these six qualities, Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod and Yesod. Grace, force, merciful authority, victory, overcoming, empathy or identification with God and the spiritual male sex organ; those six qualities have one personality. There are five personifications, Chokhmah, (one) Binah (two). The name for these six, the personification is Ze'ir Anpin (three). Malkhut, the tenth sefirah, the female; she has a personality and that name is Nukva (four). Then we have Keter (five) up here and I really don't know what we're going to do with Him yet. But He's up there and He is the fifth personality and the personification of Keter is Arikh Anpin. But we're not dealing with Him that much right now.

 

So there are five personalities and Ten Sefirot. We have the permanent married couple on top, Wisdom and Understanding, father and mother. Wisdom is Father. The Hebrew word is Abba. Everybody knows that because it's in the New Testament. But you may not know the Hebrew word for mother. Understanding is mother and that's Imma. So this is called the upper mother and father. We might call it the Glorified Jesus Christ. Then down here we have the lower mother, Malkhut, the female. Her personification is Nukva. She can be likened to Christ. She's the one who dwells in man and she is associated with the Hebrew concept of shekinah. If you've ever heard that term, go forth, the shekinah or the shekinah glory; that is Nukva, the personification of Malkhut, the tenth sefirot that stays with man. According to the teachings, even when man goes into exile, that means when he is cut off from God, which is the condition of the world right now, except for those who are in Christ, the restoration is under way. Malkhut Nukva stays with man in exile. Isn't that wonderful? No matter how low down we go, there's always an expression of God in us. Who do we know that expression of God to be? He may be dead, but there's always the possibility of the Lord resurrecting him. Who is it that is with the human beings always, no matter how far they fall? What part of us is capable of being raised from the dead? What is his name? Yes, it's Abel. Isn't that the most wonderful story you ever heard?

 

This is true, no matter if we do the vilest acts. The worst people in the world, by virtue of the fact that we are human beings, there is a seed in us that originally came from Almighty God that is our potential to be raised back up to the glory. That just makes me want to cry. Malkhut Nukva would be the name of that seed. When it is resurrected, we would call it Christ. So we see that we have a female and a male below. We have a father and mother above and a female and a male below, which sometimes are also called father and mother. Malkhut Nukva is the female and she marries the male personification Ze'ir Anpin, which is the collective name of the six qualities of God; grace, force, merciful authority, victory, empathy and the male organ. These two couple; Malkhut couples with Ze'ir Anpin. That means they produce offspring. It may turn out eventually that what I'm telling you is not exactly right, but it's what I feel I have to tell you to help you get along at this point. So I'm saying that Christ can be likened to Nukva, which is the personification of the Ten Sefirot. Malkhut and Christ Jesus can be likened to Ze'ir Anpin, the personification of the six middle qualities of God.

 

Now we're told that Nukva and Ze'ir Anpin are only married on the sabbath. Besides, what does that even mean, that Malkhut Nukva marries Ze'ir Anpin? If Malkhut Nukva is Christ, and Ze'ir Anpin is Christ Jesus, how can Christ marry Christ Jesus? I thought, Sheila, that you taught that Christ has to be grafted to us and then Christ increases or matures into Christ Jesus. So how could Christ be married to Christ Jesus if they're really one in the same person at different stages of maturity? Christ is grafted to me. Then He starts to engage in a warfare with Satan and as Christ defeats Satan and gathers Satan's energy (it's really not Satan's energy; it's the Lord's energy) unto Himself, Christ matures into Christ Jesus and ascends into the heart center and establishes Himself in the left side of the heart center. Is everybody okay with that? That was a review. So if that's the case, Sheila, how can you say that Christ marries Christ Jesus? Can anybody answer that question?

 

Well, that answer is really not the answer. To say that Christ marries Christ Jesus would mean that Christ in Christ Jesus would have to exist as separate entities. Yet the teaching here is that Christ is swallowed up by Christ Jesus. That's the teaching here. Let me give you another example. I would tell you that your ten year old child is swallowed up into the woman that you are today. The person you were at ten years old doesn't exist anymore. She's swallowed up into who you are today. So how can I say to you, you will marry your ten year old child. It's impossible because she doesn't exist anymore. She's swallowed up into you. Forget about the incest or the improbability of the situation. We know that there's spiritual incest in God and it's legal. So the principle is this, the young lady or the little girl that you were at ten years old doesn't exist anymore because your body has matured into the woman you are today. Your mind and your personality has matured into the woman that you are today, so how can I say that you're going to marry the ten year old child that you were? She doesn't exist anymore. Does everyone understand the problem? Okay, so who has the answer to how can Christ marry Christ Jesus if Christ is signified by that ten year old little girl that you were and Christ Jesus is the person that you are today? How can I say that Christ is going to marry Christ Jesus? Do you understand the question?

 

Now this is just an example to help you to understand. It's not true. We're saying that Christ is signified by the person you were when you were ten years old. That ten year old little girl has now matured into the woman that you are today, physically, mentally and spiritually. The woman you are today signifies Christ Jesus. The woman you are today signifies Christ Jesus and the little girl you were at ten years old signifies Christ. Christ was swallowed up and matured into Christ Jesus in you. Right? So how can I say that Christ could marry Christ Jesus? The answer is that Christ, in you all, are married to Christ Jesus, in me all. That's the answer. We did three whole chapters in the book of Judges on that. All of Samson's disciples had Christ raised in them because Christ, in them, was married to Christ Jesus in Samson. This is the way the Lord is raising up the whole creation beginning with the elders of the church. He takes someone in whom Christ has already matured into Christ Jesus and He gives them teaching authority.

 

It's not authority to run their personal life, but teaching authority and spiritual authority over people who have Christ grafted to them, but where Christ has not yet matured into Christ Jesus. You hear this in the church. I've read this in books, that the pastor is married to the church. Christ Jesus, in me, has married Christ in each of you. When we get together, it is the sabbath day. We recently had a teaching that came down in this ministry that the true meaning of sabbath is intermission. The world that Almighty God imagined, the world that Almighty God brought into existence, that was in the process of being rolled out, was interrupted. That process of rolling out the world that Almighty God imagined, that positive wonderful glorious world was interrupted. The process of rolling it out was interrupted and this mortal hellish world appeared.

 

So every time we celebrate the sabbath, it is the restoration of the rolling out of the glorious world of God. What does the sabbath mean? It means you cease from carnal labor and you engage in the spiritual lifestyle. You engage in the spirit; you go to church, you engage in spiritual activities, you use your mind. See, every time you commune with Christ Jesus, it is the sabbath. You don't have to be here. Every time your mind is stayed on the Doctrine of Christ; if you're listening to a tape, if you're doing a transcript, any time your Christ mind is up and you're functioning out of your Christ mind, it is the sabbath for you. When you come here on Sundays and Thursdays, it is definitely the sabbath for you and you marry Christ Jesus in me and there is fruit produced in you and, I guess, in me, too. What does that mean? It means we grow. You see, when we gather together for these God ordained services, Christ Jesus in me marries Christ in you and the Glorified Jesus Christ marries Christ Jesus in me and the whole family of God in heaven is together. I frequently learn when I'm teaching you. I frequently get words of knowledge that teach me while I'm teaching you. So we learn and we're seeded with knowledge and wisdom and understanding and the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. The parable of Kabbalah says that new souls are born. I prayed about that and the answer that I have, at this time, is that Christ and Christ Jesus in us is being matured and He is the new soul that's being born. He's the new living soul that's being born in us. The new man is being born in us. So, we read in Kabbalah that Nukva marries Ze'ir Anpin on the sabbath and new souls are born. Well that's the way the parable reads, but I want to remind you that spiritual things are very long, time wise, compared to this world.

 

So every time we get together for a service, it's not a new sabbath day. It's the same sabbath day that has been interrupted. When you leave here, when this sabbath intermission is over and you go back to your carnal lives, to your family lives or to your secular jobs, it's a week day for you because you've departed from the intermission. But when you come back on the next Sunday, it's not a new intermission. It's the same intermission. It is the same sabbath day. It is the same world of God that started to roll out at the beginning that was interrupted. So therefore the new souls that are being formed is the new man in you. See, when I first read that, I couldn't understand it. I said, Lord, what is this talking about, every time the sabbath day comes into existence? I already had the revelation of the spiritual sabbath day. New souls are being born. What does that mean? It means that Christ, the new man in you, is being built up and shored up. Also, another possibility as to what it could mean is that we create thought forms every time we come together. This is an old teaching here. Every time Christ Jesus preaches and Christ, in you, responds and we join together in one collective manifestation of the mind of Christ Jesus, we are creating thought forms that go out into the realm of the spirit. I'm not exactly sure how the Lord uses them. My guess, which is probably very carnal, is that these thought forms are directed to people who are praying them down. People are praying, Lord Jesus, I want your truth. Lord Jesus, I want your life. These thought forms that go out into the realm of the spirit are drawn to those people by spiritual gravity. Then all of a sudden, someone who has been praying like that day and night, Lord Jesus, I just want your truth; one of these thought forms touches them and without any understanding why, they find themselves at our web pages. That's how it works. These are the new souls that are being formed.

 

I think I told you the other day that I got an e-mail from someone that really touched me. He basically was saying, I've been reading at your web pages for a long time now and I just would like to know who you are. One day I think you're a Mormon. The next day I think you're a Jehovah's Witness. Who are you? The impression that I got may not be in his words, but the spiritual discernment that I got, was that he couldn't stay away from the web pages and he just wanted to know who we were. So I told him we're non denominational. We just serve Jesus Christ. We believe in the blood and the resurrected Jesus Christ. I just talked to him along those lines and sent him the e-mail. He e-mailed back saying thank you. He was satisfied. He just wanted to know who we were. That was the perception that I got, that he was just so fascinated with the word, he couldn't pull himself away from our web pages. Well that's a man that has really been praying to God for His truth and His life. See, most of us don't know why we do things. Even the psychiatrists in the world will tell you, up to ninety percent of human decisions are made by their unconscious mind, by the unconscious part of their mind. This includes career choices and marital partners. We really do not lead our own life.

 

When we come into the discipleship of Christ Jesus, we start to lead our own life. This kind of teaching, that's going on here, where we are instructed to recognize the operation of our carnal mind and distinguish between that mind and the mind of Christ Jesus, is when we begin to take control of our lives because we are very controlled. Some of us are controlled by other people. In the west today and in this country with families breaking down, it's different. But for generations, adult people were fully controlled by their parents. You were controlled by your parents until they died. The family was very strong. So now that that kind of control is breaking down in this country, what a lot of people don't understand is that the average person has internalized their family. The ideals and the values of their parents and extended family are now inside their own mind. One person might think they're rebelling and run from a particular kind of marriage and wind up with someone that they think is the complete opposite and they find out, that in their behavior and in their attitudes, they're exactly the same as what they have run from. You cannot escape the unconscious forces within you other than by giving your life over to Christ Jesus.

 

So back to Kabbalah. Are there any questions about what I have shown you here on the board? There are Ten Sefirot and five personalities or five personifications of the Ten Sefirot. Wisdom and Understanding are permanently married. They have come directly from Adam Kadmon. They are the light of the Infinite that has proceedeth forth directly from Adam Kadmon. Wisdom and Understanding couple; they have spiritual sexual intercourse and they produce the other seven qualities of God, six of which are lumped together as the personality known as Ze'ir Anpin, who is male. The tenth sefirot is called Nukva, the female, and Nukva couples with Ze'ir Anpin and produces Christ Jesus in men. Any questions or comments?

 

COMMENT: I was confused on Nukva marrying Ze'ir Anpin on the sabbath and separated from Ze'ir Anpin on the weekdays. I was wondering if that was the way it was in Kabbalah, because the Jewish people did come together on the sabbath, and then we're just going further and putting it towards having Christ and Christ Jesus, symbolizing Nukva married to Ze'ir Anpin on the weekends.

 

PASTOR VITALE: Are you talking about physical days?

 

COMMENT: I'm asking if that is symbolic or what they did was physical. Does it symbolize for us that we come together, not just on the sabbath, but on Thursday night?

 

PASTOR VITALE: This has nothing whatsoever to do with physical behavior. The sabbath day is the world that was being rolled out in accordance with the instructions of Almighty God. That world that was being rolled out was interrupted. That construction was interrupted because of the fall and this present fallen world came into existence. So when we enter into the life of Christ Jesus, when we start thinking with the mind of Christ, the mind of Christ is another timeline. The mind of Christ is that world that was being rolled out. See, the world that was being rolled out and this world here are visible representations of a mind. This whole world is the visible expression of the carnal mind. The world, as God wants it to be, is the visible expression of the mind of Christ. So depending on what mind we are in, that's the world that we dwell in. Even though this physical world doesn't change for us, when we have a meeting like this, spiritually speaking, we have entered into intermission. We have entered into the world that was being rolled out, but was intervened with. We're entering into the original world of God.

 

Now we're not high enough to cause our physical circumstances to change, but spiritually speaking, what spiritual people do is as different from what carnal people do as the day and the night. So we're not talking about physical days. We're talking about the activity of the mind. The sabbath day is the mind of Christ. The sabbath day is the world that you lead when you're thinking with the mind of Christ. I'm in the sabbath day frequently. It has nothing to do with Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. It's a spiritual sabbath day. When you're living out of the mind of Christ, you're in the sabbath day. Then the weekdays would be when you're in the carnal mind. What makes this meeting a sabbath day is what we're doing. It's not sabbath day because it's a Sunday. You could be spending a physical Sunday as a weekday. If you didn't go to church today and you were digging in your garden or having company and talking about carnal things, it would not be a true sabbath day. Do you understand now? Okay. So the physical days are just types of the spiritual reality. Those of us who are entering into a spiritual lifestyle, we become double minded. The more you enter into that spiritual lifestyle, the more confusing things get because we're in the sabbath day now. But we could be having this Sunday meeting on a Thursday evening and that Thursday evening, for us, is the sabbath day.

 

We find out what happens to us when we enter into the spiritual life, is that our external world does not line up with what we're doing. The more spiritual you get, the more confusing it is. Nothing is changed. The house hasn't changed. You know where I live; I know where you live. Your family hasn't changed. But you're changing inside because you're spending more and more time in a world that's inside of you that doesn't line up with the world that's outside of you. That's why for years I walked around battling confusion until finally I found out that the reason I'm so confused a lot of the time, although it's happening less and less, is that I live in two worlds and the two worlds inside of me fight for dominion. The two worlds inside of me are both minds. There are two minds inside of me and they both want to direct me. See, when Christ, in you, is very weak, you don't have much of a problem. But as Christ matures in you, He starts fighting with your carnal mind to direct and control your life and you go into a lot of confusion. Now that's very interesting, if you don't mind me saying this. If you object to me saying this on the tape, I will take it off, but we know that you have suffered from confusion as long as I've known you. It makes me wonder.

 

I know that you're highly spiritual. Everybody here is highly spiritual. I've told you all that time and time again. You're all highly spiritual. Don't be deceived by the carnality of your lifestyle. All that it means is that your personality is like a hard shell over your spiritual potential, especially if you're married with families; you're really locked in to a degree. So it's very hard for your spiritual life to come forth, but all things are possible in Christ Jesus. Of course, when we all got married, what else do you do? That's what you get married for, at least, when I was growing up. Even today I think that you should get married unless you have a call on your life. Who wants to be alone in the world? You should want to be married and have a family unless you have a spiritual call on your life, because the spiritual call works against family life as you all know. If you don't have this spiritual call, you should get married. Who wants to be alone all the time and not have family to help you in your desperate hours? I hope that no one ever gets sick, but if you get sick, you should want family around to help you. So you got married when you were a young woman because you didn't think you had any other choice. That was the thing to do.

 

You didn't want to not get married and have a carnal life and then have nothing. Everybody wanted to get married, so you got married, not even recognizing the spiritual call on your life. This is not to say anything against you. It wasn't revealing itself to you at that time, so you went forward and you did what everybody did. You had your six kids and your ten miscarriages (God bless you) and you did everything that you had to do and you were the best person that you knew how to be and you completely neglected your spirituality because you didn't even know it was there. Maybe that's the cause of the confusion on your life. I don't know what you were like years ago. I've known you for ten years and you've been confused as long as I know you (laughter) if you don't mind me saying so. Maybe the reason why is because there's that other aspect of yourself pulling you, pulling you, pulling you, but you didn't understand it. You see, that spiritual aspect of yourself could be called wisdom, but you didn't have the understanding. So you were just steadfast on the road that you believed to be the best possible lifestyle; a good wife and a good mother and you didn't want to know anything else.

 

You wouldn't consider sin, to the best of your knowledge to recognize it, and you were on that straight path. You had no understanding whatsoever as to what was beating in your heart inside of you. Even if you recognized it, you didn't know what it was. You didn't know where to go or what to do with it, so you ignored it and it produced confusion in your life. I am convinced that this is the foundation of all mental illness, spiritual people being born into non-spiritual families. Being spiritual in this country, as far back as I know, has not been socially acceptable. The very best you can hope for is that your parents take you to church or synagogue. But most of the churches are dead. Even if the Holy Spirit is present, for a truly spiritual person, the Holy Spirit is not enough. For a truly spiritual person, you need the Doctrine of Christ. You need this food to chew on. This is probably true of all of us. Our spiritual aspect has been undernourished and underplayed by our parents and by the whole society that we enter into. We didn't understand it or know about it or feed it or follow it and it produces confusion and all kinds of physical diseases and problems in our life.

 

I know that I've had the issue before the Lord for awhile now, and especially last night, why I'm so afflicted by people's carnal minds, as you've all witnessed with me over the years. When you just ask your honest questions, sometimes when it comes out of your carnal mind, I'm actually wounded by it. I have to overcome my reaction to answer you in a Godly manner because I'm emotionally wounded. I could almost double over from the pain of your carnal mind. This is what He said to me just last night. I was born a very spiritual person. A person who was born into a world that was way below where your nature would have you to be is literally born into hell. The carnal minds of the people around me are the proverbial pitchforks of the devil that are just sticking at me all the time. I have to be instructed as to how to deal with it without sinning. But the ultimate answer is to ascend up to the world that I belong in. Doesn't the Scripture tell us that we are not citizens of this world and that we are pilgrims sojourning in this world. I'm not of this world. I believe people who are mentally ill and have severe problems in this world are spiritual people that were born in a carnal world and they don't even know what's bothering them.

 

On some level they feel the pain and they go out and they drink. They stick needles in their arms. Some people are sexually addicted or are addicted to food. People do all kinds of things and they're really just (whether it's conscious or not) desperately trying to deal with the emotional pain that's present all the time. It's because we're not of this world, some people more so than others. So long as we're in this world and before we come to a program like this, the best thing we can do to help ourselves is discipline. Discipline is the answer no matter what you're feeling. You just do what you're suppose to do. It saves you from disaster in this world. But that's only the band-aide. That's the temporary answer. The permanent answer is to build the spiritual side of us and to develop spiritually as much as we can because it's that spiritual part of us that's frustrated and that's hurt and that's weary. It's causing us whatever pain, including physical illness, in our life. It's this conflict. It's the conflict that causes physical illness. Of course, we sin when our carnal mind takes the victory. Let's not forget about sin. Is everybody cool here?

 

The message today is Kabbalah. Is everybody okay on the Ten Sefirot and the five personifications of the nature of God? I read just last night in another book, not the main book that the Lord has me studying in, that these personifications are angels. I guess the Lord is telling me that there really are angels. In a previous Kabbalah message, I was telling you how I've had a real problem with angels over the years. Maybe the problem that I've had with angels is the carnal concept of angels. Maybe that's what I can't receive, the way the world perceives angels. These personalities of the attributes of God are great spiritual beings that exist on a level, way, way, way, beyond us. I guess they could be considered angels. Just as Jesus Christ came to us to reveal to us the nature of Jesus Christ, I have to admit that there could be a high spiritual being called Ze'ir Anpin that manifests the six qualities of God on a very very high level and that he would be an archangel. I don't know. We'll just take it a step at a time and we'll see what the Lord teaches us. I'm just very leery of getting into some ungodly understanding of what an angel is.

 

Did I finish off what I was saying about that person's dream? Her mother, who was really married but not living with her husband, was about to marry the wrong person. This is how we could tell the difference between Malkhut Nukva, the female or the lower mother, and Binah, understanding, the higher mother. The higher mother is living with her husband. The higher mother, understanding, is never separated from her husband. The type in the dream was a mother who was still married, but hasn't lived with her husband for years, so we know that Malkhut Nukva is only with her husband on the weekends, on the sabbath and we know that the sabbath is Christ Jesus. So we know that there are a lot of people today, even people that have the Holy Spirit, who have not been with their husband, possibly in this whole lifetime. They have not lived with their husband. They have not coupled with Him. They have not had spiritual sexual intercourse with Him. They're married to Him because that seed in us called Abel, is the dead expression of what we really are. Do you understand what I just said? You're looking at me.

 

Sometimes I don't read your looks right.

 

In the dream, the mother was Nukva. Nukva, this mother within the person who had the dream, can be likened to Christ. Christ within the person who had the dream, was about to enter into an ungodly soul tie with another person. Brethren, this is not an easy word, but I know the Lord has told me this and I don't doubt it, that when we enter into ungodly soul ties with other human beings, we are marrying Leviathan. Ungodly soul ties are a marriage to Leviathan. Ungodly soul ties marry Christ in us to Leviathan. Now basically, Godly soul ties are with your family, but you can have an ungodly soul tie with members of your family, those outside of your family or with old family friends that you've had for years. The Lord is not telling you to throw anybody away. But from the day that you walk into a new relationship with Christ Jesus, all new relationships should be in the Spirit of Christ. Family and old friends that you've had for a lifetime, so be it; that's where you are. But new friends that you make, they should be spiritual friends. Does anybody have a problem with what I'm saying? We're building our spiritual life, so the Lord either gives us spiritual friends or He brings us to people where there is potential ministry. Once you pass a certain point in Christ Jesus, everyone has to answer for himself. I know that I'm there. Every new relationship that you enter into, He has to be getting something out of it because He's leading your life. He's running your life. There's no such thing anymore as just meeting someone and well, you'll have coffee with them or you'll do something else. That's the way it used to be. Now you're in the service of the Lord.

 

So every relationship that He gives you, although it may look carnal on the surface, we're to always be alert and have our eyes open as to possibly what the Lord might be doing there. But that doesn't mean He has to be doing something every time you fellowship with the person because the way the Lord is delivering His seed to people today is through relationships. So the Lord could lead you to somebody and the relationship could look carnal, but in the long run that person is called. Either that person is called or someone that person has to introduce you to. So you should just keep that in the back of your mind. You're all solicited into full time service. He may not be using you full time, but the call on your life is full time service. You're just like a policeman. You're never off duty. He knows what your life is and what your family obligations are, but you're never off duty. It's important that that stays in your mind and that you should know that even if you're going out to a party, it should be in the back of your mind, where is God in this?

 

Ask Him, Lord, where are you? Just manifest whatever you have. If nothing manifests, nothing manifests, but our state of mind is that we should all know who we are in Christ Jesus. We are the sons of God. We're still very very young, but as long as Christ is in us, as long as Christ is grafted to us (not the Holy Spirit now) Christ, as long as He's grafted to us, we are in the permanent service of the Lord Jesus Christ and He is seeking to fully control our life. The Holy Spirit will manifest through you. The Holy Spirit will touch people through you, but the Holy Spirit is not controlling your life. I believe that shouldn't be very hard to establish when you look at how many Christians will tell you that God is their co-pilot. God is not our co-pilot, brethren. We are the co-pilot. God is the pilot. We're not even the co-pilot; we're the plane. We haven't even learned how to fly a plane yet. A co-pilot knows how to fly a plane. He's just an assistant. He's still an assistant, but he knows how to fly the plane. We don't even know how to fly the plane yet. We have a lot to learn.

 

That's why it is urgently essential that we do not minister to people that the Lord has not sent us to. Why? Because if we go in our own power, we could tie ourselves up in an area where there are probably a thousand people around the corner that could do the same thing, but there's one person two blocks down the street that can only be ministered to, by you, because of what you know, today. So you've got to go where God sends you. It's okay to be inactive. He will keep us inactive until He's ready to send us out. But we're never alone and we're never without spiritual stimulation or gratification. We always have the Doctrine of Christ. See, when you just have the Holy Spirit, you're sort of limited. You can play music or you can read the King James Translation, but it is not the same satisfaction or ministry to you, as getting into the Doctrine of Christ and really getting into that meat. Either listen to a tape or do a transcript. That is truly communion with the Lord and it is satisfying even if you can't get to a meeting. It is satisfying. Of course, it's always nice to fellowship in the body. As you all know, you don't just fellowship in the body when you come together. There's correction as to how everyone relates to one another very often. So wherever God has you, be content with wherever He has you. Just know that you are permanently in His service.

 

COMMENT: In looking at the vocabulary that the Kabbalah people use, I saw the sabbath and the weekdays and I thought to myself, that must be their way of talking about the two different timelines.

 

PASTOR VITALE: Yes, I think that's an excellent observation.

 

COMMENT: I see the word Arikh Anpin next to Keter and I didn't know what connection that had.

 

PASTOR VITALE: Arikh Anpin is the personification of Keter. We have the first three sefirah and each have a personification. Keter is Arikh Anpin. Chokhmah is Abba, father. Imma is understanding , mother. Arikh Anpin is the personification of the attribute of God called Keter, which we don't even know what it is. It does manifest on occasion as knowledge, but this is the personification of it. This would be as if a man appeared and said, get to know me and everything that Keter is, you will see in me. That's what Jesus did. Remember someone came to Him and said, we would like to see the Father and Jesus said, you've been with me all this time and you don't know that I'm the Father. You don't know that I'm the personification of the Father, that I have the attributes and the qualities and the nature of the Father. I think like Him and I act like Him and I speak like Him. Arikh Anpin is the personification of this highest attribute of God, the highest nature of God. I'll put this in here although it wasn't a part of this message. I have read in the books that I'm studying, that the quality of compassion is identified with Keter. All I could think about was how many times the New Testament says; and Jesus had compassion on them and Jesus had compassion on them. I received a whole new understanding of that sentence. I always thought that the New Testament was just saying, well, isn't that nice that Jesus had compassion on them. But now I believe that it was much more than that, that the writers of the gospels were saying, Jesus of Nazareth was Arikh Anpin, because Arikh Anpin is the one who manifests the compassion of Keter. Now Keter is the power of God. So what does the New Testament say? And Jesus had compassion on them and what did He do? What did He do when He had compassion on them? Yes, He healed them.

 

So Keter, the crown, the highest level of power known to man, the first sefirah, is power. You see, each level down, with each sefirah, the power of God degrades a little more. Now these, of course, all right down to Malkhut, the tenth, is a very high power of God. Christ has power, but Christ is very weak or Malkhut can be very weak compared to Keter. So Keter is the highest level of God and when He has compassion on you, you are healed. So all of those sentences in the New Testament; and He had compassion on them and He healed them and He had compassion on them and He healed them, is an announcement that Jesus Christ is the personification of Arikh Anpin. Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear. Brethren, that whole New Testament was written to the Jew. As I go along with these studies, I see more and more and more hidden meaning in the New Testament and I believe that I haven't even started yet. I can't wait to see what the Lord is going to show us, both in the Old and the New Testament. It was written to the Jew, brethren, and today's Christian is being cheated. They've just got a fraction of it. Thank God, it's such a powerful word because it is of God, but it's not anything near what it's suppose to be. We don't understand what it's suppose to be.

 

Jesus Christ is Arikh Anpin. Wake up Jewish brethren, wake up. Jesus Christ is Messiah. Messiah, according to Kabbalistic teaching, will be a human being who will manifest Arikh Anpin. Here He is!!! All of the Sanhedrin, all of the priests knew it. All of the rabbis knew what was being said. Every Jewish man that has been schooled in Kabbalah, that has read the New Testament, knows what is being said. They may say, nay, I don't believe it, but they know what's being said. I will tell you, that as we get stronger and stronger, we get healed by merely having compassion on people. By having compassion on people and being grateful for them being good to us brings blessings to them. That gratitude that comes out of someone in Christ brings blessings and healing to that person. Curses are broken in your thoughts. Your thoughts can kill somebody if you're in witchcraft or they can break all kinds of yokes and bring all kinds of blessings to people, simply by the way you think towards them. That's why it's so important that we forgive people no matter what they do to us because we're spiritual black belts. When we forgive them, God blesses them and helps them with their infirmity. And Jesus Christ had compassion on them; Jesus Christ, Arikh Anpin. Actually, this is the translation of Arikh Anpin and Ze'ir Anpin; Anpin means face. Arikh Anpin means long face and Ze'ir Anpin means short face. Apparently that is an idiom. Arikh Anpin, the long face means patient one and Ze'ir Anpin, the short face means impatient one. I have no idea why they are named this way at this time. The patient one and the impatient one, long face and short face. I don't know what it means.

 

Drawing #2 shows the secondary partzufim. Just in case you weren't confused enough, we are going to confuse you some more. Now remember that we have five partzufim, five personifications encompassing the Ten Sefirot of the nature or God. We have Keter, which is personified by the name Arikh Anpin. That is the ultimate power of God, in man, which is personified by the name Arikh Anpin. Then we have the personification of wisdom. To us, Jesus Christ is the personification of wisdom, but it's also true of whoever is preaching the Doctrine of Christ or any one of you. You don't have to be up here formally. In the event the Lord gives you the opportunity to speak the Doctrine of Christ to anybody, at that moment, you are the personification of the wisdom of God, which would make you a spiritual male called Father. Jesus said this to the people who were asking to see the Father. Jesus said, you've been with me all this time and you're telling me you can't see the Father. In other words He was talking to people that should have known that the Father is personified in wisdom. Here is this man, Jesus, teaching very deep stuff. I think He taught what we're learning here and it was just put down on a surface parable level in the Scriptures.

 

So Jesus is saying, you've been with me all these years, three years, and you've been hearing the wisdom of God and you don't know about the partzufim. You don't know that Abba, Father, is the personification of wisdom. You've listened to all this wisdom coming out of me and you don't know that I am the personification of the Father to you? If I'm remembering the scripture correctly, it was the Greeks who came to the disciples and said, we would see Jesus. I'm not a word man and I don't remember these scriptures exactly. Then the disciples went to Jesus and said, we would see the Father. You know, there's so many scriptures that I never really understood, but that I didn't pursue. Jesus said, you've been with me all this time and you don't know that I'm the Father. The thought did occur to me, well, how were they suppose to know that you're the Father? Because all of these disciples were schooled in Kabbalah and they know that the personification of the Father is wisdom. I'm not talking about the wisdom of man under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I'm talking about the spiritual wisdom of God and the Spirit of Counsel, which is in Christ Jesus, not in the Holy Ghost. When you come up against the wisdom of God, that can only come out of Christ Jesus. The wisdom of God cannot come out of your carnal mind even when your carnal mind is influenced by the Holy Spirit. The wisdom of God comes out of the mind of God. Jesus said, you've been with me for three years. You've heard what I've been teaching. You've heard me prophesy. You've heard the wisdom that's come out of my mouth and you don't know that I am the personification of wisdom. You should know better than that.

 

So we see that there are five personifications of the ten attributes of God. The first one is Keter. What is the personification of Keter? I know the name is Arikh Anpin, but how do we recognize Arikh Anpin in a man? The answer is compassion. Now this is not human compassion. This is compassion that heals you. The compassion that heals you only comes out of the mind of God. I believe the Lord has told me this, but I haven't studied the word compassion in the Hebrew yet. If the Lord should witness to you that this is the truth, that when you see someone have compassion on someone, including gratitude and positive feelings toward somebody and healing follows thereafter, you'll know that you have seen the personification of the Keter or of Arikh Anpin in a modern day man. When God has witnessed to you that the wisdom of doctrine and the wisdom of counsel coming forth is coming out of the mind of God, when you see it come to pass and you recognize the wisdom of God being taught, you know that that person is a personification of Abba, which is the personification of wisdom, in a modern day man, in a human being, in a mortal man.

 

Now this doesn't mean hearing just one sentence. It has to be over a period of time, when the Lord witnesses to you, when you have your own witness, that these attributes of God are coming out of the mind of God in a man. The understanding, the ability to not only impart wisdom, but to give people the understanding of the wisdom, when you see that coming forth in a man consistently, and you get your own personal witness that this is the understanding of God, you know that that person is a personification of Imma, which is Binah, understanding, the third sefirah. So that's the third partzuf and the fourth one is Ze'ir Anpin, who is the personification of Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod and Yesod. I just gave you the Hebrew names cause that's not the point of this exhortation. When you see a man manifesting grace, spiritual power (Gevurah) and Tiferet (the harmony of grace and spiritual power) that is spiritual power with mercy. I have a word of knowledge that Tiferet is the White Throne Judgment. That is not from any Kabbalistic teaching. Netzach (victory) is when you see someone who has a lot of overcoming in their life. You look at their life over the past five years and they are a consistent overcomer. They may have slipped and slid a little bit here or there, but when you compare where they are today to where they were five years ago, they are an overcomer. They're going forward. They're enduring and they're going forward. You know that you're seeing the personification of Netzach, if the person is in Christ. Hod is identity. That means seeing someone consistently identify with the thinking and reasoning of the mind of Christ. Now we have these issues right here in this fellowship. We have meetings where we talk about particular situations going on either in someone's life or in the world and we test the spirit and we see the counsel that everybody comes forth with. (End of tape 1)

 

Tape 2

 

When you see somebody consistently identifying with the thought patterns of the mind of Christ, consistently agreeing with or being empathic with the judgments and the conclusions of the mind of God, you know that that person is a personification of Hod. When you see somebody consistently manifesting the male aspect, when you see someone consistently manifesting spiritual manhood in Christ Jesus, what does that mean? Now it can't be out of the carnal mind. There are people who do this out of their carnal mind. These are people willing to take responsibility, people willing to exercise authority and the power of God flowing through them because God has anointed them to do so. So as we see and go down the attributes of God, it becomes harder and harder to differentiate these qualities in people who are doing it in Christ and in people who are doing it in their carnal mind. But the Lord will witness these things to you. I think most of us can recognize leadership in Christ Jesus. That male anointing, that male authority is just on them. Then we have Malkhut, which is the kingship. To be honest with you, at the moment, I don't know how to distinguish between the male authority which is in Yesod and Malkhut, which is likened to the shekinah, which we're likening to Christ. At the moment, I don't have that difference and it's not really important to this exhortation, so I'm just going to let it go. There's one more partzuf, which is Nukva. So there are five partzufim and each of these partzufim has within them Ten Sefirot. Imma has within her, Keter, Chokhmah, Binah, all of these, the Ten Sefirot are within the partzuf.

 

It's as if to say, take Sheila and chop me up into ten parts and then take each one of my ten parts and chop each one of those ten parts into ten parts. It's a continuous expansion. So each personality has within it ten sefirot. Now they're not Adam Kadmon's sefirot. They're not the first Ten Sefirot that came down. It's just like saying I have a baby and the baby comes out of me and the baby has a heart and lungs and a spleen, everything that I have. Sometimes people have triplets. Three babies come out of them and each of those babies have a heart, lungs and all of the organs. So each of the personalities has the ten sefirot within them. If you don't get this, don't worry about it because I have to tell you, it took me awhile to get it. I'm just giving you the information. Don't be upset because it is confusing. All that I can tell you is if you hang in there and you listen to the tapes and you pray, it will start to come to you. So I'm just giving you the information today. I left Arikh Anpin off here, for no particular reason; I just forgot them. Poor guy. Each personality has ten sefirot within him. They would be identified as the Binah of Imma, the understanding of Imma as opposed to the understanding of Adam Kadmon. The original Ten Sefirot are of Adam Kadmon. So we would talk about the understanding or the wisdom of Imma or the understanding or the wisdom of Ze'ir Anpin as opposed to the wisdom or understanding of Adam Kadmon. It does get very complicated. Just hang loose and take in the information.

 

The point that I'm trying to make to you today is that in the personality Imma, which means mother, the Hebrew word partzuf, in the partzuf or the personality, Imma, there are ten sefirot. The very last sefirot, Malkhut, has another aspect underneath herself called tevunah, which means discernment. Imma, mother, means understanding. She has within her an aspect of all of the qualities of Adam Kadmon. She has a pinch within her of all of the Ten Sefirot and the Malkhut within Imma has an aspect called discernment. Imma means understanding. So we see within understanding is an aspect or a quality called discernment. Discernment is an aspect of understanding. Discernment and understanding, they go together. Is everybody okay? Discernment is under the category of understanding. The way it is expressed in Kabbalah is that Imma, which is the personification of Binah, understanding, has within her ten sefirot and this last sefirot, Malkhut, has an aspect called discernment. The Hebrew word is tevunah, if I'm pronouncing it right. So we know that discernment is a part of understanding. Is everybody okay, at least for now?

 

This is called a secondary partzuf, tevunah; discernment. It's secondary to Imma. Imma is one of the five main partzufim. Discernment is under Imma. Now we have Ze'ir Anpin. Now this is the problem that I have before I put this up on the board. The books that I'm reading tell me that Ze'ir Anpin has two secondary aspects called Israel and Jacob. But I could not find, so far, any instruction as to whether both Israel and Jacob come out of Malkhut or as to whether Israel is secondary to Yesod and Jacob is secondary to Malkhut. I couldn't find it in the book. It could be that both Israel and Jacob are aspects of Malkhut. I couldn't find it. Does anybody not understand my predicament? So we see in Ze'ir Anpin, which is the third personality, there's also ten sefirot. Now they're not Adam Kadmon's sefirot. They're not the main Ten Sefirot. They're underneath Ze'ir Anpin. He has his own heart. He has his own lungs. He's a part of Adam Kadmon, but he also has his own heart and his own lungs and his own legs, by way of explanation. So Ze'ir Anpin has two secondary personalities called Israel and Jacob and I don't know whether they both come out of Malkhut or one comes out of Yesod and one comes out of Malkhut. I don't know. But there are two secondary personalities under Ze'ir Anpin called Israel and Jacob. I don't know what they do. I haven't found anything in the book yet. Discernment working with understanding is easy. If we hear the word discernment, we know that it's coming out of understanding, the third sefirot of Adam Kadmon. That discernment is not to have the gift of discernment, but to have the discernment that's in Christ Jesus, which is a high manifestation of the nature of God. The first three qualities of God, Keter, which is crown, and wisdom and understanding; those three together are called the head. That's the highest aspect of God in man. Ze'ir Anpin is called the body of Adam Kadmon. So if we read about Israel and Jacob, we know what qualities are in Ze'ir Anpin. He's from Chesed, which is grace down to Yesod, which is the male organ.

 

We see a lot of the qualities that are in Ze'ir Anpin in the body of Christ here. But we don't see the qualities that are in Abba and Imma that often. Down here in Nukva, which is the fifth personality or the personification of Malkhut, she also has ten sefirot within her. She has two secondary partzufim or two secondary personalities and they are called Leah and Rachel. At this moment I have no idea how to apply this information. The only thing I would like to tell you about is when we did the two translations on Jacob and Esau. We did a translation of the verses where Jacob's mother is telling him (according to the King James Translation) to get a goat and put the goat skin on and go deceive his father. I know that when I was doing that translation in the Interlinear Text, I had the perception (and it's on my tapes) that his mother was a prophet. But today, with this knowledge, I really am thinking that it was not Rebecca, his mother, that told him to deceive his father. I don't believe he deceived his father and I'm not going to get into that message now. I believe that what Jacob did was ordained by God because Esau was not a man of God. Esau was a man who was a personification of which of the Ten Sefirot? Can anybody guess? Yes, Esau was a personification of the quality or the attribute of God known as Gevurah, which is force, might and power. But Esau did not have the wisdom or the understanding or any of the positive qualities. He was a strongman. As our study revealed, he was misusing the power he had.

 

So I believe that it was most likely Malkhut Nukva that rose up in Jacob. It was not his physical mother, Rebecca. That's the parable. It was Malkhut Nukva, the lower mother within Jacob that rose up and gave him all that wisdom and all that counsel and told him what to do. You don't have to agree, but does anyone not understand what I just said? So we see that when the Lord finally does put us back into translating, we're going to have a more difficult job than ever before. As we approach a verse, we will have many more options as to decide what the Lord is really saying in that verse. The more knowledge you have, the more options you have. The more options you have, the more necessary it is to take the verse in the context of the whole chapter. Not only in the context of the verse before it and the verse after it, but in the context of the whole chapter and the whole message that God is bringing forth in that series of verses. On the one hand, it's a tremendous responsibility having all these extra choices now, but on the other hand, it's very exciting to think about all of the possibilities of what God might have to say to us through the parable of the Scripture. I'm just very excited about it.

 

I have no idea how Leah and Rachel would be translated although the thought that's coming to me is that it was Rachel, I believe, who was sitting on her father's idol or some such thing like that. I would be very curious to take a look at those verses in the Interlinear Text applying the name Rachel to an aspect of Nukva. Nukva is suppose to be the shekinah in the earth, what we would call Christ Jesus in the earth. So I would really like to take a look at that. But of course, we have to stay with our basic principles until the Lord says we're ready to go into the Scripture. Then, of course, we have to translate the Scriptures that He directs us to. I just see so many horizons opening before us of possibilities of the most incredible knowledge of the deep mysteries of God. I am very excited. Remember that knowledge is the personification of Keter. What is the identifying attribute of Keter? Yes, compassion. From knowledge comes compassion. Now this isn't worldly knowledge. The more knowledge we receive of who God is and the more knowledge that we receive of what His plan is for mankind and the more knowledge that we receive of how God views men, the more we enter into the quality called Hod; identification. I believe the more we identify with the thought process and the mind of God, the more compassion we have on other men. Why? Because Almighty God has compassion on other men.

 

The more knowledge of His ways and of His word that we acquire, the more we identify with Him, the more we become like Him, the more we have compassion on other men and the more patience and the more tolerance we have for people's faults and failures. I wonder if what I just said has to do with the words, the patient one and the impatient one. I told you that Ze'ir Anpin was the impatient one. That's very interesting. I think the Lord has just given us information about why the personification of Keter, which is Arikh Anpin, would be called the patient one and the personification of Ze'ir Anpin would be called the impatient one because the attributes of God that are found in Ze'ir Anpin are found in believers who are still impatient with their fellow man. But for the believers who start to manifest Arikh Anpin, the Keter, whose expression to us is knowledge, the human beings who start to acquire knowledge and express the compassion of Keter will be patient with their fellow human being. Isn't that interesting? Is everybody okay?

 

I think we will break here for dinner unless there are any questions or comments.

 

COMMENT: What does the word, grandfather, that's up on the board, have to do with this teaching?

 

PASTOR VITALE: Oh, I didn't mention him. Thank you. Well, as I told you, discernment is an aspect of the Malkhut of Imma, which is understanding. I told you, Israel and Jacob are aspects of the Malkhut and possibly the Yesod of Ze'ir Anpin and Leah and Rachel are aspects of the lower ten sefirot of Nukva. In that same manner, Abba has ten sefirot within him and sava means grandfather. There is an aspect of the Malkhut of Abba, which is wisdom, that is called sava or grandfather Israel. I don't know what to do with that except the next time I see the word grandfather in the Scripture, I'm sure going to see if the Lord cannot witness to me that that scripture is talking about Abba which is wisdom, the wisdom of Adam Kadmon. Somehow in the parable, the term grandfather and in particular, grandfather Israel, could be referring to the wisdom of Adam Kadmon. In the Scripture, the word Leah or Rachel, could be referring to the sovereignty or the kingship or what we would call Christ Jesus in a man. Israel and Jacob could be referring to the sovereignty or the spiritual masculinity within the people who are in the process of acquiring the nature of God, but who are still impatient with their fellow man.

 

Did I answer your question? Okay. Anybody else?

 

COMMENT: The other day when I looked at the word, Malkhut, I thought of the book of Malachi. But today when I looked at it, I thought of Melchisedec.

 

PASTOR VITALE: Well, that's very interesting because the study of Kabbalah has some very interesting principles. For example, if there are two words that are completely different words, but they're made of the same letters, they just move the letters around. Every letter has a numerical value and every word has a numerical value. One of the principles of Kabbalah is that if you have two words that mean something completely different, but yet they consist of the same letters so that each of those words have the same numerical value, that there is something in common at the root of those words. So to see Melchisedec in Malkhut, I think that a lot of the letters are the same and you definitely could have a possibility there.

 

Did you understand what I said? Is everybody okay with that? Okay.

 

COMMENT: What you're saying reminded me of something I saw on TV just last night on a "Ripley's Believe It or Not" program. A man had this particular gift where you could give him a whole group of mixed up letters contained in a particular word that you selected and he would immediately twist them around and come out with the right word within seconds. It's called anagram, I believe. I've been doing that since I've been a little child, but I would have to have the letters written right in front of me. But this man had a particular gift where you could just speak the letters out and he could retain them in his mind. I'm talking about long words now, like anti-disestablishmentarism or incompetency, words that don't have just six or seven letters in them. I mean these words contained quite a few letters and there's a name for it and it's called anagram.

 

Also while you were drawing at the board, I was thinking about another program I had seen a while back. Some physicians did a scientific study in a medical college where they were teaching their students about biology and the study of particular body parts. They took a cadaver, froze it and sliced it. They actually sliced the frozen cadaver with a machine in equal slices. I think it was in ten thick slices. Using some sort of computerized x-ray screen it enabled them to get pictures of these slices to see into all the different parts of the body, how they were connected and intertwined. It was a constant teaching tool for their use. Each slice was on a whole reel like movie film. That's how they taught the students about the body and different surgical techniques. It made me think of Adam Kadmon's spiritual body and how they flow into one another.

 

PASTOR VITALE: Well, praise the Lord. That's what the Lord is trying to do here. He's trying to help us to understand God. Can you imagine that they were actually trying to understand God. If the Lord wasn't leading us into it, that would be the highest arrogance; to try to understand God of our own accord. There are people today who are trying to understand God of their own accord. It's the highest manifestation of pride. It's total arrogance.

 

But we, because of God's grace upon us, through His Son Jesus Christ, and because of whatever measure of humility we have manifested, for Him to have chosen us to be in this place today, ahead of the whole church, is a tremendous blessing. We're the forerunners in this area. Here we are learning what it's like to be God. Isn't that amazing? There's a message in the church, today, called the sons of God and a lot of fundamental Christians are all upset thinking (and probably some people preach it this way) that we, in our present fallen condition, are gods. Thank God it's not true that fallen men are gods. But the truth of the matter is, that we are called to be gods. We're called to be gods when we are possessed by God. You see, when we are possessed by God, we will be gods. But we're not going to be possessed by God as a mindless puppet. His possession of us is converting us into what He is. So we are literally learning how to be god. That's very exciting to me. In direct proportion with our willingness to give up what we presently are, which is a manifestation of Satan and Leviathan, we will come into His image. Is that not the Scripture, that we should come into the image of God. But who knows what that means? Most of the church thinks someone is just going to lay hands on you or you're going to die and wake up in the image of God. No, we have to learn how to be God. Once we learn how to be God, we have to choose to give up and punish everything that's a part of us that is not of God. We are finding out through our study of Kabbalah that the image of God, that the New Testament says we are to come into, is demonstrated to us in the Ten Sefirot, the ten attributes of God called Adam Kadmon.

 

So we have a whole church world running around saying we're in the image of God and they're the exact opposite of the Ten Sefirot that we've been studying here. So we see that they're deceived, but despite that, that's not our problem. Our problem is ourselves, that we should be found faithful in the course that the Lord has brought us to, that we might someday be a full expression of the five personalities that represent the nature of God. That we might receive the power that comes with it, that we might go forth and in complete obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ (not the way we think it has to be done, but in complete obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ) we should minister to His people, that Christ should be grafted to them and that, they too, should come into the image of God. We're sent to people that don't want Him. They don't want Him and they don't want us. But most of the time, we're undercover. We have to learn to be quiet and to only say what He tells us to say. This is the meaning of the scripture, to be wise as a serpent, but harmless as a dove. We're to be harmless unless Christ Jesus is moving through us. Then if somebody gets hurt, there's nothing you can do about it, like that poor young lady that's having a fear reaction to the few things that she's heard. I don't know if it's to the things that she heard me say, so much as when I start talking about the things of God and the Spirit turns up in me. So she may be having a reaction to the things I say or she may be having an internal reaction to the manifestation of Christ Jesus, if He starts turning up in me. It could be either one. Let me just bless her. We're breaking for dinner and we'll continue on with this message after dinner.

 

Praise the Lord. We're back from dinner. We have drawing #3 on the board. This is a drawing that gives some explanation of the World of Bound Lights. Now remember Adam Kadmon is more or less the reservoir that catches the power or the light of the Infinite. Adam Kadmon is a reservoir or a dam that restrains or holds the light of the Infinite that flows into him and releases the light into the so called empty space of creation in a monitored quantified manner. If all of the light of the Infinite flowed into the empty space, it would so overflow the empty space that the light that flowed in would meet with the light of the Infinite outside the perimeter of the empty space and there would be no more empty space. If empty space is completely filled with the light of the Infinite to the extent that it's equal to the light that's outside the empty space, then there'll be no more empty space. The light inside the circle would meet the light outside the circle and there would be no more empty space. So the light of the Infinite has to be quantified. It has to be limited to specific quantities that would not have a counter effect on what the Infinite One is trying to accomplish. He's trying to build a world in the empty space. So the light of the Infinite One flows into Adam Kadmon and flows out of his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. These lights are called breaths. Don't ask me why. I do not know why. As I said, I'm teaching you as I learn. I don't know why they're called breaths. Well, I have an idea, but I'm not going to put it on the tape.

 

But these particular lights are called breaths. They come out of one of each ear and as we see the breath of the ears is related to the sefirah, Binah, understanding. It is the upper level of soul call neshamah. You may recall from earlier messages that the neshamah is the intellectual soul. It is that aspect of the soul that enables us to understand teachings like this. Now everyone has a neshamah. I think every man born of a woman has the lower level of soul which is nefesh. That's the animal sentient life force. The middle level of soul, ruach, I believe every human being has that. That's the spirit within the soul. But everybody does not have a neshamah. A neshamah has to be developed within you. That upper level of soul is being developed in everyone that pursues the spiritual study of the Doctrine of Christ. Those of you who have been studying here for years, the upper level of soul is being built in you. There are a totality of five levels of soul, you may recall. There are two more levels above neshamah that every mortal man does not have. The fourth level is called kiya and it's the life force that brings in morality. So if you see a Christian person and it's obvious to you that they have strength in morality, not just sexual morality, just living a moral ethical righteous life; that fourth level of soul is active in that person and it's called kiya. The fifth level of soul is called yechidah and that means unity. It's talking about the life that we have when we are joined completely in marriage to the Glorified Jesus Christ. That's a very high place to be. The average man just has the lower and the middle level of soul.

 

I don't really understand what I've read in these books. What I've read in these Kabbalistic books is that the lower level of soul enters into the baby as it's being formed in the mother's womb and that the middle level of soul, ruach, is developed in the child when it is suckling. I don't understand how a human baby could not have the spirit side. I'm lacking some information here. I'm not going to get into that now. I have a question in my heart and I don't have the information. So we see that there's a breath coming out of the left ear and a breath coming out of the right ear. Now that sounds strange, that the ear is breathing. It's not so much an issue of the ear breathing, but according to the book that I read, that if you put your hands over your ears, you still hear some sound because there is air trapped in your ears. I don't have any more information than this right now except that the books teach that there is spirit. Of course, this breath that's coming out, its talking about spirit coming out of the ears. Now this is Adam Kadmon's ears. This is not your ears or my ears. This is the spirit or the light or the breath that's coming out of the ears of Adam Kadmon and they're creative breaths. They're creative powers. Now remember, everything that's created has been created as a result of spiritual alchemy.

 

I don't understand spiritual alchemy completely. I probably understand very little of it. But based on what I understand, let me give you an example that is a fantasy. This is not a reality. I have the power to do it and I want to create a couch. I know that if I can mix the power of the sefirot of wisdom, Chokhmah, and I could mix that with Tiferet, which I believe is the White Throne Judgment, a couch will come into existence. I don't know how to do any of this stuff. I have no idea how to do this. I'm talking about principles. Of course, the example that I just gave you is total fantasy because the creative breaths and the creative alchemy that came forth from Adam Kadmon was on such a high level that I do not comprehend it, myself, at this time. I cannot comprehend different grades of light mixing together and producing objects. Although, I think as I talk to you, I do see in the spirit, different grades of light sort of flowing towards one another as atoms, for example, and impacting each other. In that impact is an explosion that produces energy. Well, I guess we just got an explanation by word of knowledge, that spiritual alchemy is the mixing together of two or more grades of light that come from the Infinite, that impact each other causing an explosion, which we might liken to a nuclear explosion. So the basis of spiritual alchemy is the energy released upon the impact of the light that are mixing with one another. But I still don't understand how, and it's probably more than two lights, but I still don't comprehend how two of God's points of light that filter out through Adam Kadmon can touch each other and cause an explosion releasing the energy that we need and produce a planet.

 

I mean, at this point, when we're talking about the World of Bound Light, that's very high. We're not talking about this World of Action down here. Let's try to not think of this in human terms. So what's being created at this point, I haven't seen that in the book, but I know it's something very high. So let's say it's a planet or a star that's being created. I don't understand at this time how if the Lord wanted to form the planet Mars, for example (and believe me this is not accurate, okay) He would send light A plus light C to impact one another causing an explosion and produce the energy to create the planet Mars. But if He wanted to create the planet, Venus, He would send a light Z and a light D and cause them to impact each other and the energy released here would form the planet Venus. I don't understand that, but neither would I understand how to take chemicals and create a particular kind of medicine. I'm not a chemist and I'm not a pharmacist. So if I don't understand chemistry, how could I hope to understand how the Lord would mix light and create a particular energy that would create something. At this point, I may not even be able to comprehend what He created. So we're just talking in general principles. I am very excited though that a word of knowledge just did come forth explaining spiritual alchemy to me a little more. A mixture of energy creates an explosion that releases energy. But I have no understanding at this time how to use that energy to form an object. But I believe the Lord will tell us eventually, when we are capable of understanding it. He withholds nothing from us. We are the problem. We are not capable of understanding a lot of it.

 

So we're talking about the World of Bound Light and there is breath that comes out of each one of the ears. Breath is just a level of spirit. There is breath that comes out of each of the nostrils. There's also two breaths that come out of the mouth. In the ears and in the nostrils, there are two orifices; there are two openings. So we know there is a left breath and a right breath concerning the nose and the ears. In the mouth, I believe the teaching talks about the breath when it's in the throat and the breath when it's on the lips. Because breath manifests in these two different places, the Kabbalistic teaching is that there are also two breaths of the mouth even though there are not two mouths as there are two nostrils and two ears. There's only one mouth, but the breath manifests in one way in the throat and manifests in a second way in the mouth. So we have six breaths coming out, one from each of Adam Kadmon's ears, one from each of his nostrils and two breaths coming out of the mouth where they meet and are bound together. They meet and they're bound together in an outpouring of energy. Kabbalistic teaching calls this the World of Bound Light. At this point I have no more information about what it is. As soon as I learn it, I will share it with you.

 

Then we have the eyes. Now this is so interesting because there is a Hebrew word that I have seen many times. I've come across it in my translations and the word means a side look, a side glance. To look with the eyes, a side glance and one of the extended meanings is witchcraft. The suggestion is spiritual power brought forth with a look. Now I believe that spiritual power can be brought forth with a look. You see, most of my information comes from witchcraft because we just don't have enough of other examples. As far as I know, there are very few documented examples of the manifestation of spiritual powers in Christ Jesus. We know that miracles were performed, but we don't know how they did it. But we do know in the Scripture, Peter looked steadfastly into someone's eyes. I think he pronounced a judgment on him, if I'm not mistaken. So I know that there is spiritual power in the eyes. There is a witness to it in the Bible, but there's more literature on it in witchcraft. I use to watch a lot of occult movies and they would talk about vampires and say don't look in their eyes. Don't stare at their eyes, they hypnotize you.

 

I saw one episode of The Highlander, where someone who was very high in this kind of witchcraft, just walked up to guards on the street and looked them right in the eye and said go to sleep. Their heads just went right down and then this man walked into the building that the guards were guarding. I don't know whether this exists today or not. It may or it may not, but I believe it is a real potential. If it doesn't exist today, we're going to be seeing it soon because the whole creation is ascending. There's a company of people that are ascending in Christ Jesus and there's a company of people that are ascending in witchcraft. There are going to be people walking down the street with this kind of mind control power. For that reason, the Lord Jesus Christ will surely raise up a company of sons of God, because we will be the only people in the world, if not in the universe, in the world, to combat the people that the Dragon is raising up with this kind of spiritual power. I know that the Lord has to do it. I believe it's going to be us. I could be wrong, but somebody will stand, because the Lord Jesus Christ is purposing to stand in a company of human beings who will defend His church and who will defend this country and who will defend all of humanity against the Dragon's plans to possess all of humanity.

 

So witchcraft power does definitely manifest through the eyes. I don't know about you, but I know that witchcraft power can manifest through the mouth. I have been victimized by it where a particular person would not stop talking to the point that his talking was controlling me. He would not stop talking. I had to cover my ears and just get away. He would not stop talking and it was breaking me down. It was affecting my mind. So there is witchcraft power in talking. There is also seduction in what would be considered normal talk. There's great witchcraft power available through speech. Now as far as the nose and the ears go, I have to tell you I'm not aware of witchcraft power in the nose or the ears. We'll have to see what the Lord teaches us about that. So the teaching is that the breath of the ears, nose and the mouth are bound together at the mouth and there is no breath coming out of the eyes. The spirit coming out of the eyes or the light coming out of the eyes is very powerful. It is so powerful that it would blow apart all of the bound lights. So the strength or the light coming out of the eyes, forms a vessel which holds the bound light. I haven't put it on the board for you yet, but I think I have mentioned it to you, that every light has three aspects to it, an inner light, a surrounding light and a vessel that the inner light nests in.

 

The look that comes out from the eyes forms the vessel that holds the bound light. These are all aspects of soul. This whole teaching on the World of Bound Lights is talking about the levels of soul. Now the levels of soul are talking about the spiralline aspects of Adam Kadmon. The circular aspects of Adam Kadmon are soul. The linear aspects of Adam Kadmon are spirit. It's the same message that the Lord gave us about six or eight months ago. So we see that the breath of the ears, the nose and the mouth and the spiritual power that comes out from the eyes, are all dealing with the circular aspects of Adam Kadmon. Adam Kadmon is building worlds. Are there any questions about this? If not, I think we'll call it quits for tonight. I'm unusually tired and this is the best that I could do. I really have to stop. God bless you all.
