Specificity becomes the operative force in generality when one understands the dynamics associated with purpose. This oxymoronic conjoining may well apply itself within this logic and be viewed as the specifics of generalization.
What in the world does that mean . . . some few would ask? Others? Well they primarily haven’t a care; they think it doesn’t matter, and none of this applies to them. I use the word primarily to denote the hidden reveal of their core. Of course primarily comes from primary or first, which comes from prime, or one might say the first or the select. In other words it cuts right to that optional abstract issued unto all mankind called CHOICE! So then what does it mean when we say, in the general or broad sense of creative purpose there is an operative force that reveals preciseness or specificity? It means that we all as a part of creation remain summarily embedded and included within every aspect of every event as it presents in the course of time, and as it then relates to us; that being once again generally and specifically.
For a number of years I have prompted a specific term that describes the above posit: I learned to coin it as “The Crossing of Time & Event.” That particular essay is somewhat lengthier than this one, nevertheless it registers and provides ample explanation to the premise now presented in These Golden Opportunities.
Golden opportunities in life decidedly connote different patterns of thought as to what they may or may not be because of the core mentioned above, and bolstered here by the intentional use of the word decidedly as well as patterns – plural. Shortly I may suspend the attempt to establish the fact that we know who will read this and come away with supernal knowledge; just as we know who IS satisfied with their attachment to the lower knowledge or material things such as seeking wealth and youthful appearances. Why appearances instead of the singular reference? Patterns of thoughts present either the multiplicities of blessing or the opposite multiplicities of cursing. Whatever we seek in this life we seek also in the next, and the unlearned are never considering where the next life may actually be. Scripture conveys to our understanding that God is obligated by his word to give us all the desire of the heart and the request of the lips. Psalms 21:2
So then, as we all go through life we are preconditioning our own outcome due to the subtle yet profound laws that ARE attached to that aforementioned optional abstract called choice. We choose either to be wise or foolish, we choose to be at peace with one another or to be at war: we choose – don’t you get it? Each and every avenue of choice provides a host of consequence all of which are rooted in these laws of specificity. We are then forced to experience the masterful sculpturing techniques of the formation of man by the plural forces of Yahweh Elohim. We’ll come back to this actuality of forming and the use of plural forces as we continue.
Going through life requires us to continually try and understand our purpose until we actually gain that particular (specificity) aspect of knowledge. We can know our purpose of existence. This knowledge (in generality) was the same symbolized proportionately in the tree of knowledge – good and evil. Remember what that particular aspect of knowledge in this instance is . . . the knowledge of our purpose. Additionally through forced experiences we trod both willing and/or unwillingly through the mandated course of events in order to reach the place of our resurrection. Notice the word used is resurrection and not reincarnation. The masterful sculpturing technique mentioned is synonymous with the Torah revealing that we are as vessels of clay in the hands of the potter (CREATOR) and are becoming either a vessel of honor or one of dishonor.
This forming is revealed by the use of the Hebrew word (יָצַר) – (yod-tsade-resh), transliterated as (yâtsar), pronounced as (yaw-tsar’) and translated as formed. A more comprehensive interpretation would be as being pressed or squeezed into a form or mold; just as a potter would do.
In this scripture we see that precise word:
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed (יָצַר) man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Now this formation was after the making denoted here in this reference:
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make (עָשָׂה) man in our image ….
Adam was made just as other things in creation were made (עָשָׂה) and systematically revealed day by day as in:
Genesis 1:25 And God made (עָשָׂה) the beast of the earth after his kind ….
The word for make or made shown above is the same; it is the Hebrew word written (עָשָׂה) (ayin-sin-hei), transliterated as (‛âśâh), and pronounced as (aw-saw’), and finally translated as made. This word indicates the action that works to set forth the presentation and the value of what is to be or has been accomplished. Remember, however, this generic verb-word has no hard and fast tense – it is eternal in its place of usage. I have made, I am making, or I will make uses the same word. It is a process such as line upon line, precept upon precept, here and there a little!
Let’s continue – before there is a formation that is to reveal what is, there is also a creation to reveal the design of what is to be made. Now as to that aspect of revelation it can be verified in Genesis 1:27 So God created (בָּרָא) man …. This Hebrew, as written, is (בָּרָא) (bet-resh-alef), transliterated as (bârâ’), pronounced as (baw-raw’), and translated as created.
Adding precept upon precept so to speak, we then likewise understand that just as there is a forming that reveals the making, there is a creating (as denoted in the above scripture) that reveals the design of the forming to be done or made, and it too comes from the will or the thought of the whole process. This emanation or spreading of the Creator’s thought preceded to a place of understanding for us in a slightly lower realm called Binah or where the intellect can synonymously receive it as understanding. This emanation of the creator’s thought preceded to us from the World of Atziluth; it remains in the World of Atziluth, and it filters down through all the worlds created from there because it never changes. It is a hidden part of the “ALL.”
The word atziluth comes from the word atsal or (alef-tsade-lamed) (אצל); it means “reserve” or “withhold;” specifically in the sense of “keeping in the shadow.” The letter tsade at times is depicted either as ts or tz. King David understood this sod or secret regarding the World of Atziluth as he rehearsed in song his walk in the valley with the shadow. It is above all, through all, and in all. It is superseded by all other worlds or regions only in the sense that each precept, or delineation is needed for the creation to understand what the creator purposes until its particular part in the scheme of understanding the knowledge of “ALL THINGS” produces from the root – that – which came from the seed of – that – which always is. The emanation is in the shadow cast. Its path is in the shape of a horseshoe or U-turn. It accomplishes what it was sent to do and immediately returns.
This concept of above all noted just above should be consciously settled that within and without any ill-perceived parametric quantity that we may assign unto all successive worlds, it should be understood that none is set in dimension or dispensation to thwart or change the order of divine and universal proclamation. They are all set forth simultaneously aiding each to the cause and effect of culmination. In other words they are both separate and joined as one.
The crossing of time and event is therefore so perfectly orchestrated that the natural mind cannot fathom its beauty. To appreciate the providence set before us all, or precisely from before the foundation of the world that kernel’s itself into a host of opportunities requires the transformation provided by inspired hearing. This hearing translates into receiving or that which the word kabbalah denotes unto those who have ears to hear. I know I have used another noun as a verb, but it is the action of the content that I reference – it (the providence) kernel’s itself just as the many seeds in a pomegranate each have a specificity in their general arrangement. Some are sweeter than others due to their placement which includes what particular tree they are on. The very soil from which they were nurtured plays a part. On which side of the tree the fruit itself was obviously placed determines its outcome as well. Every little hair-root below the surface plays its own part as to the juiciness. As it falls into the hands of the recipient the providence is still only part way there; for it is eternal and therefore ongoing. Providence provides an exact delivery no matter what the scenario may evolve to. In order to accommodate CHOICE; providence also has an element of duplicity that justly permeates and overrides it with no absence of delay.
Needless to say we now return to the essay of These Golden Opportunities in general. In that general sense we subsequently list four words that represent Four Worlds; in order to clarify how the various or specific words previously mentioned are used successively and intentionally, in order to unveil mankind into sustained existence.
We read in Isaiah 43:7 every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
To be called by the name is to have the word proceed from the essence of thought; which is to say the thought of the King of Kings. The call is to be invited to come near or next to; it is to be close to the glory of the throne. The Hebrew word “Atsiloth” literally means, “upper class, aristocracy, or nobility.” Atziluth as shown above is from the word atsal / sometimes spelled atsel which means “next to,” or “emanated from;” it is from the root word that means properly to “join.” So then we are joined or reserved in the shadow or emanations of the upper world.
World of Atziluth – (atsal) = emanation or thought (or the World of Causes)
World of Briyah – (bârâ’) = creation
World of Yetzirah – (yâtsar) = formation
World of Asiyah – (‛âśâh) = made or set in motion / action
The crossing of time with event happened and continues to happen as ADAM or man acquires his initial image and begins to understand what it leads to. Male and female combined must be separated for the sake of understanding who denotes right and left, or any other dichotomy inherently embedded in the initial image. The woman or feminine of nature, separated and found with womb, has now been purposed in a slight juxtaposition to the male. She alone can bring forth life – she is Eve – “Mother of ALL Living.” Feminine purpose is slightly different than male purpose but both have the same collective purpose. Both are specific and general.
There are now two distinctions of the singular aspect of the image of God. Or at least as some may temporarily conclude, which is perfectly fine throughout the journey until one reaches the crossing of time and event that sevens or completes the quest to annihilate confusion in that particular matter. The correlation of the word seven promotes the usage of a word that connotes a beautiful Hebraic idiom that we will not take the time to delve into. Suffice it to say it completes or sevens the process, or aspect, or delivery, or affirmation, etc. This is presented and segmented on that line of time (past – present – future) to one and all; albeit we each stumble across it commensurately due to our own choices. Every divine intent placed on the line of time concludes within the eternal realm. Two may walk together in divine union and be waylaid by what seems to be an incessant adversary on a continual basis. Why? Because the order requires two walking together to be in agreement. When one sees the beauty of purification and embraces it then the other is obliged to reflect on that display. The closer two walk together the quicker they see the same display. The farther they are from one another … well … you get it!
Consequently These Golden Opportunities are the major turning points that are offered throughout our sojourning in the flesh in order to change the course and obviously the outcome. Feel free to affix an AMEN if you will!
There are several rows on a corn cob, and each row has a determinate number of kernels that kernel and present collectively as an ear. Furthermore, unless mankind has fooled with it through hybrid methodology (which by the way is taught by the fallen angels that were never able to return to the above), then there are a total of two ears on each stalk. Invariably one is bigger than the other, and one is placed above, and one is placed below.
Hum-mm!? So much we could say here.
Due to the fact that each kernel holds a myriad of development within, we MUST submit to a developed mind in order to compartmentalize the nature of the myriad. If not we die not knowing and remain dead, or as it were in the dirt – returning again and again unto the dust. This is of course the reality and consequence of reincarnation. Notice now the use of the word reincarnation which is not the resurrection previously noted. Once we realize our acquisition of knowledge endows us with the quality of knowing as the gods know then we understand our likeness and image of God, or Elohim (אֱלֹהִים), and life denounces the purpose of death and receives the promotion of oneness that emanates from that place of the singularity or monad. This reconciliation process drives These Golden Opportunities of which we speak. Each operates with a set of rules attached that will not be renegotiated.
Esoteric teaching reveals that the generations of heaven and of earth were established and created through Abraham our Father. Yes – he – accepted the terms of covenant and passed along what he had received. He not only accepted on our behalf but also as our example until we understand it all. Once again the usage of the word kabbalah is appropriate which means – RECEIVED. Moses uses the word Elohim as the God of creating from – and into – a specific image. That image is emphatically both male and female which gives partial evidence as to why it is written in the plural. Not because there is a triune of three gods. Look at it again.
Genesis 1:27 So God (elohim) created man in his own image, in the image of God (elohim) created he him; male and female created he them.
Even beginning Bible scholars understand Elohim to be a plural word. Does that make it a trinity of so-called Father – Son – and Holy Ghost? Heavens no! Just as we’ve shown above. It does however denote, allow, and encourage the apparent union of letters to be studied and separated, even as male and female were purposely separated in order to reveal the sum total of the parts. Elohim is a compilation of male and female just as individual letters and words denote masculine and feminine association. These distinctions cry specificity to our initialized and ongoing education.
Elohim then denotes a creative balance at its center; which when separated for the purpose of our observations to become clear, includes left and right as well as light and dark, etc. Therefore when male and female reunite it becomes the one flesh or image of Elohim which was CREATED in order to be called Gods. In fact take a look at 1 Kings 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians. The purpose of the reference is to show the feminine use of the word Elohim to render goddess. Before one can contest, noting that this is a pagan entity, it is not about the God of Israel, here it includes the image of ADAM in general. By the way this goddess was a real live breathing seduction.
This then is EXACTLY what scripture teaches. Elohim or (אֱלֹהִים) contains within it the singular word for the male or masculine aspect of God or (אֱלֹהַּ) which is pronounced el-o’-ah and comprised of the letters aleph (אֱ), lamed (לֹ), hei (הִ). This word is considered a masculine noun or name.
Why do we recognize and attribute this name to be male? Let’s just use one scripture as reference although there are many. Psalms 114:7 says: Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. The word used here for God is (אֱלֹהַּ) el-o’-ah. It is: NOT yahweh, elohim, shaddai, adonai, eheyeh, el, or yah; it is eloah in specificity as it relates to Jacob’s character and example provided for all of mankind to understand in generalization, just as the earlier reference to Abraham suggests that he conversed with EL specifically, and just as Moses learned of ehyeh asher ehyeh, which is I AM that I AM, we learn that he may have been specifically the first to converse with that name. Moses is more often than not referred to as “Moshe Rabbeinu” or “Moses our teacher / rabbi.”
We then learn that Jacob, while wrestling with the side of God that descended at dark, learned during one of These Golden Opportunities that he, the male, was to in time symbolically assume the role of the female, for the sake of understanding opposing forces and he was subsequently transformed into Israel by accepting his name change.
Israel eventually became known as the House of Israel, through the crossing of time and event, SHE understood that SHE was to be wed to el-o’-ah and no one else. That’s the reason el-o’-ah is the God of Jacob. Christianity also teaches that the church or body of believers are as the bride of Christ. The masculine and feminine therefore assume appropriate and varying roles in relationship to specific and general points of dispensational and accumulative revelation as it is assigned to be released. Now remember – it is, and was, and will be, just as it “IS.” The releasing [of this revelation] is only at the point [as time relates to us] that we individually are able to grasp it. It is and always has been fully hidden and fully revealed and has never been subject to change nor restraint. So then the letters of the God el-o’-ah are aleph (אֱ), lamed (לֹ), hei (הִ) which are within AND at the head or beginning of the full name or letters of Elohim or (אֱלֹהִים). Reading Hebrew from right to left, it is aleph (אֱ), lamed (לֹ), hei (הִ), yod (י), mem soffit (ם) it is – ELOHIM or ELOHYM.
The additional letters of the yod (י), and the mem soffit (ם) denotes not only the plural or “im” but the mem at the end coupled with the aleph at the beginning actually spells mother. The Hebrew word for mother is aleph-mem (אֱם) pronounced “ame.” In order to discover the feminine once again.
Now to the secrets of the yod which is read using both sounds of the “Y” and the “I” and is the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. It signifies the finite point that initiates every letter and therefore initiates every word. Whenever the pen is placed on the parchment to begin scripting, the point sets every beginning; likewise when pen is lifted the point returns. In turn every sentence structure becomes replete with the hidden and yet much active yod. Its value is ten and therefore represents the fullness of all numbers. It is one, it is ten, and it is a thousand which translates into the realm of infinity which begins in the finite.
Just one example – the Ten Commandments come from the yod. The letter is the tenth to release the revelation of the wondrous paths of HaShem’s wisdom. HaShem simply means “The Name” which of course refers to the name given to permissibly address all supernal aspects regarding the need to implore a name directed to or concerning the Most High.
Yod or yud, or yad is spelled out with three specific letters yod, vav, and dalet. The vav obviously can denote various vowels. Anciently the yod or yad was pictorially depicted as an outstretched arm with a closed hand such as this ( ). Yad anciently was used to synonymously associate all things the hand would come to do – work, throw, make, praise, these all were works of the hand. For that reason we learn from Moses what (yod-hei-vav-hei) יהוה (yhvh) (Yahweh) the LORD promised in Deuteronomy 2:7 For the LORD יהוה thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand.
Looking at the above scripture closely and knowing the exact time that it was released [the revelation] to the House of Israel, along with the mixed multitude still tagging along, we surmise the release to actually be an announcement concerning judgment.
Before we then leave this scripture let’s examine another word penned from the voice of The LORD. The word blessed is bârak and if one takes the time to study this word one finds that not only can the word bless, it can also curse. There is a secret to being able to understand why this is so. The arcane knowledge that reveals this cannot be negated nor renegotiated because the letters themselves negotiated on our behalf eons ago. These letters negotiated and assembled long before they came to be rehearsed in the mouths of prophets or beggars. The course and outcome of every imaginable scenario was fixed from get-go!
According to ancient kabbalah recorded in Ha Sefer Yetzirah or the Book of Formation, we learn that the Hebrew aleph-bet has 3 mother letters, 7 double letters, and 12 single letters. There is way too much to get into regarding the letters, but notice the word yetzirah once again; this has to do with the World of Yetzirah or formation. Where we came from and where we presently are is wrapped up in the secret of the letters. Letters issue forth from various places in the mouth and combine to form our very intent of heart or from where the issues of life proceed. This translates to the deeds of the flesh. When we release the words that letters make we actually access These Golden Opportunities in minute and maximal fashion on a continual basis. Is it any wonder why admonitions regarding being slow to speak are regarded as sublime wisdom?
Now . . . back to the last word of examination bârak which holds blessing OR cursing. Each of the three letters that form it are ALL double letters. They are bet (בּ), reish (ר), and kaf (ך); kaf soffit to be precise. By the way – the soffit or the use of certain letters at the end of a word makes it final which means it settles the placement and cannot be altered, this is what soffit actually denotes – the END. Also learn that all letters cannot be considered soffit; there are only five.
So then, we understand that when any of the double letters are used in a word they invariably issue either wisdom or foolishness, riches or poverty, fertility or sterility, life or death, power or servitude, peace or war, and grace or deformity. All of these have multitudinous extensions as we should all understand. Grace has beauty and elegance attached to it, it has favor – goodwill – and divine influence flows from it. Therefore the opposite of grace, by law, has deformity or grossness – ugliness – rudeness – savagery; all attached to it. Instead of favor there is: disregard – criticism – dislike – denunciation – disdain – hate – hindrance – disapproval; and boys and girls the list goes on. How long would it take to analyze and bleed out all of the active words of each side? Probably as long as one would live up to the point within These Golden Opportunities that one decided to seek after the positive side only.
Are we getting it yet? It is all choice dear hearts. No wonder Joshua told the Israelites choose you THIS DAY! Remember they were at that time married to God in order to receive (kabbalah) of the Torah (teaching) of the covenant of the circumcision of the flesh; the knowledge of which they took into Egypt having received it through Abraham. Now coming out of the flesh, or the desires of the body represented by Egypt, they could go deeper into These Golden Opportunities. They were given the daat or knowledge of the promises that love and not ritual provided. To dwell with HIM in the place where he set his NAME was to assume the feminine desire that only the male could satisfy. This goes back to what the feminine was so ordered in the garden concerning desire toward her husband. When we listen (or receive) the law (Torah/ teaching) from HaShem we are to abide in the word and let the word abide in us.
Friends . . . in doing so we are now impregnated with the word and commanded to bring forth rivers of living water along with our re-delivery into the world and we are without a doubt re-born.
The opportunity to repent is offered as often as every breath we take and it has steadfast rules as to what is acceptable or not. Furthermore the content of just what we need to repent of has never changed. It only changes to an individual as that individual reaches the specificity and the accumulation which now becomes the generality of what defines repentance to our intellect or consciousness either sub or above. It is only the fool that pretends not to know what there is need to repent of. It is only the fool that refuses to be sorrowful for misdeed.
Now as to These Golden Opportunities of which we have briefly spoken, it is the Golden portion upon which I desire to elaborate. These are numerous, and the reason for the choice of word (These). Although they are not in reality “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” Opportunities they could very well be construed as such. It is as if you miss one you’ve REALLY messed up. Wow why would you? To get out of a pickle, out of debt, out of jail, out of addiction, out of misery, God’s wrath . . . or perhaps out of hell . . . why would you CHOOSE to do anything but REPENT?
And you still ask why one would actively seek to repent . . . because REPENTANCE is one of These Golden Opportunities that rules over all These (OTHER) Golden Opportunities just mentioned above. Every word falls under the jurisdiction from whom and where and when it is issued. Trust me REPENTANCE is a word that carries a lot of influence. As stated above it has steadfast laws associated with it; observations made and presented by other words, that are capable of accurately and truthfully describing its validity, can fall into the mouth of any servant of The Most High. True repentance is easily defined and many have the right to make call.
1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Judges issue words of spiritual observations – and you dare to think they aren’t valid? Any fool knows sincerity when he sees it but a “master spiritual word-smith” has the ability to thoroughly shred insincerity. Read it again and understand – there is a higher level of understanding that allows one to judge, so set aside any foolish opposition to it and rightfully place it into its lower level of understanding. Truthfully say “I didn’t understand but now I do – I’m sorry – forgive me.” Rightly dividing the word of God is crucial to acquiring the knowledge of all things. An eagle sitting in the top of a tree can never see what another sees that flies high above the mountain. The foolishness of leaning to one’s own understanding of course led the opposition to Jesus saying, “We are all children of Abraham.” Furthermore it was the same opposition to Moses in “We are all Levites, you take too much on yourself” to represent God to us. How many times have we heard if God can speak to him or her then he can speak to me as well? Hum-mm – how’s that working out for those who presumptuously cast such contentiousness into the air? Do they think no one hears?
Once again These Golden Opportunities are segmented in our lives and glued to every breath we receive and release. This is what we will be judged on. The consequences of choice presented to a living soul will be as many as each have encountered. Each and every word – with deed – will carry the degree of judgment as to how it will be presented. It will have been either rectified, through repentance and forgiveness, or it will be seen as having been ignored. At this point of time and event crossing These Golden Opportunities will echo their full history.
Scripture teaches us love covers a multitude of sin. Transgression is an act of trampling underfoot the directives of divine teaching that is set in motion to groom us for higher service in the Kingdom of God. That kingdom will not have sinners walking streets of gold thinking they actually got away with something that they consciously refused to address or change. Without love it is impossible to see God. We are reminded of the fact that if any say they can love God whom they have not seen and cannot love those whom they can see, then they are convicted as liars.
Beloved we walk with those whom God has challenged us to walk with; however, we are not mandated to walk with them under terms of constant disagreement. These Golden Opportunities have us crossing paths with folks that have the ability just as we do to change their molding or formation process; however – we – and they – must come to understand the magnitude of the phenomenon. The more we see the associative constructs the more we can immediately repair. Remember it’s all about repair or tikkun at this point. We are all reincarnated into the specificity of the DNA, the womb, the family, the nurture, the country, the influences, and the list obviously continues. All that best suits the route of our own choices for the development of the soul are set in place by the aforementioned providence and we join Yahweh’s visitation unto the 3rd and 4th generation according to the iniquity of the fathers. Forget the body for a moment. Leave Egypt. Harness a spiritual mind.
God said this to Abraham when he led him away from idol worship – Lech Lecha. It means (“go!” or “leave!”)(“go for you”). These Golden Opportunities of which we speak are the same for all men in the realm of generality, but are granted to each in the realm of specificity; the latter is when we understand “go for you.” This choice has nothing to do with anyone but self. Does it affect anyone else if we choose to accept or decline the leading of the Spirit of God? The answer is ABSOLUTELY. How can it not?
The truth of the matter is also as follows: in whatever present situation we find ourselves entangled with another; we must understand at best, to acknowledge this to be so to speak in the middle of the journey. We cannot be allowed to know PRECISELY the details of before and after; that is – the reason for reincarnation – mutual or otherwise. One knows emphatically as he returns but soon forgets and begins the struggle to remember. Only the highest of developed souls can approach the level of this understanding. The fact that most folks only know of a word called “soul” and do not understand that there are in the basic understanding five levels to the development of the soul then most folks cannot receive enough understanding to define why they walk beside another. The residual effect of it affecting others, whether souls, places, events, etc. is as great as the opportunity to change is perceived. If one throws a small pebble into a body of water the ripples are commensurate with the effort of the intent and the power of the release, coupled yet again with the strength of the thrower’s character.
If the pebble doesn’t hit center then the ripples in all likelihood will not reach the full perimeter. However, if the thrower realizes the opportunity as being Golden then he acts accordingly. He understands this is MY chance to fix things. Sometimes God gives one the opportunity and later reveals to that one just how Golden it was. It takes a big rock, it takes a great aim, it takes resolve, it takes genuine effort, and it takes strength of character. This whole experience is to understand the great rippling effect it has. By it, it symbolically provides a way of targeting and passing by everything in the body of water and coming to rest peacefully at the edge or END of it all. Yep we are just a big body of water when it comes to the flesh and the desires of the flesh. Yep sinners or transgressors in the camp of the congregation of the Lord were found out and stoned with big rocks. Yep one can symbolically stone the center of his selfish fleshly motives and find peace for doing so. Herein we should be able to understand that some men’s sins go before them to the judgment and some men’s sins follow them to the judgment.
So then when we hear Lech Lecha for ourselves and ACTUALLY leave the place of idol worship, then we begin our journey with repentance, newness of life, and a trust in our leadership or headship that causes us to recognize the things pointed out to us for our own good.
Please read those last 50 words again. Re-reading them may help provide a jubilee to your ability, or conviction, to stay focused on some of the things of God’s preference for us, which are all opposed to idol worship. Idol worship is tantamount to allowing ANYTHING unlike the seven intangible assets we are about to explore to lead you in life.
Let’s begin with the basic foundation. We all know that it is impossible to please God without faith. [Hebrews 11:6] Faith in the Greek is derived from the word pistis which is a feminine noun, it primarily means persuasion, that is, credence; or moral conviction. It comes from the root word peithō, a verb, which means to convince or to pacify. Once again can you see the correlation of the words required of God, concerning faith, these words allegorically reference the similitude of a wife pleasing her husband. In this case both male and female believers are the feminine participants. We all should realize we are married to God and how we presently treat our spouses, providing we are presently married, is exactly how we are presently treating God.
In other words God will never be convinced with a mere mouthing; be it occasional or consistent. Some as did the Apostle James have judged this to be faith without works; merely offering idle, repetitious, and suppositional prayerful promises to Him, or anyone else for the sake of trying to get out of something, is UNACCEPTABLE! Nor will God be pacified or calmed down until genuine faith is offered. Unless you convince him with pistis and a moral conviction He will be at odds with you! You see . . . the aspect of faith that shows conviction is for His sake as well as yours. That way you can rightfully be judged according to what you bring to the table showing you have understood grace and have recognized and utilized These Golden Opportunities. Or NOT! Once again – hum-mm!?
Indeed it is interesting to note that there is no word for FAITH in the Hebrew Scriptures. You will, however, find a certain word translated in the King James as faith [1 time], as truth [1 time], and as faithful [3 times]; but the word at its root means established – as in being firm – and trustworthy. That word is ‘êmûn and as stated it is only used a total of 5 times in all of the Tanakh or so-called Old Testament. Being firm or convinced about something and being found to be trustworthy seems to demonstrate exactly what both the Greek and the Hebrew suggests when it comes to identifying what constitutes faith.
What then is faith? Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. How then do we receive faith or ultimately the Golden opportunity to make ourselves trustworthy in the eyes of The King?
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Now it’s getting real simple. LISTENING TO GOD SEEMS TO BE THE ANSWER! Those things that are not seen such as God, heaven, peace, eternal happiness . . . you know . . . things we all hope for – right!? We can get ‘em just by listening, understanding, gaining knowledge, and ultimately being rewarded for this thing called faith. It is NOT particularly advisable to ask The King for riches before you ask him for wisdom. Solomon asked ONLY for wisdom and has wealth added because the Supernal King is so pleased. In John 8:29 Jesus said “I do always those things that please him {the Father}.” And some may ask why do you say Solomon has instead of had, or that the Supernal King is pleased instead of was pleased? Do you think either is dead or something?
So now that we are focused on walking by faith we set out as an alien to this world on a journey just as Abram did. Don’t believe it? Study the word! This is not our home for we are just passing through. We are here for the creation, the formation, the making of the vessel that can hold the new wine. Remember the shadow and its returning path? We are here for the process of repair, the fixing/ the rectification, or what kabbalists such as the penman refer to as tikkun. Repentance in Hebrew can be signified in the word teshuva (תשובה); it literally means “RETURN.” If any of us were perfect we wouldn’t have to be here, and yet there are exceptions to the rule just stated. Getting out of here doesn’t depend on misplaced desire, it depends on the knowledge or the knowing of how to get back home.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed (or perish) for lack of knowledge.
Faith – HEARING – KNOWING – CONVINCING.
Here are the aforementioned seven but there are a literal host of sevens throughout HaShem’s teaching. To your faith [1] or more precisely conviction, add virtue [2] which is better described as valor or manliness. To manliness add knowledge [3] or as the deeper aspect of the word defines it knowing. To knowing add temperance [4] which is self-control all day long. Self-control should have patience [5] added to it which is understood somewhat better as cheerful endurance. To this add godliness [6] or rather piety which is actual holiness. To that which it is impossible to see God without or holiness, add brotherly kindness [7]. Brotherly kindness speaks for itself – preferring others before yourself – loving who you are actually around, because, these folks in your life at this point are there because you changed directions and left anything that denied you to be able to reach this plateau.
All of These Golden Opportunities shown as the seven or completion spoken of earlier leads us to a place of discovering agapē; this is the Greek word used in the Apostle Peter’s writings [1st chapter 2nd Peter] that are all described above and it renders the English word “love” and is translated also as “charity” in scripture. When we reach the perfection of being convicted to possessing brotherly love then we discover the highest level that we can reach in this world – agapē. This level proves that we “received the giving,” and that we are accomplished in “giving the received.”
Let us go a little deeper in discovering These Golden Opportunities some of which we can understand to be as aces in the hole, as trump cards, as Golden tickets, or as being worth more than others. There is definitely a hierarchy both hidden and revealed. Read Mathew’s 7th chapter, it is about asking and receiving. What I desire you to understand is that on whatsoever level we ask, it is from that particular level we receive. So then recognizing and implementing a particular Golden opportunity is priceless. Just like cashing in all the little treasures in order to buy the pearl of great price. It’s in the scripture.
Let’s pretend our entire life is sort of like a house that has tremendous storm damage to it and if we don’t get it repaired [tikkun] soon it will just be ruined or destroyed. We can notice the damage on the floor from all the water and begin there, or we can go higher and realize repairing the integrity of the roof is the first thing one should wisely do. The relationship we have with our headship MUST be repaired. Furthermore if we presume to think our level of headship over others should necessarily be adhered to without us first adhering to that level above us then we are fools. Adam, Seth, Enoch, Noah, Melchizedek, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Judah, Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon, Elijah, Jesus — ALL — leaders and teachers by example. If any refuse to submit to headship then they invariably invite others to do the same thing by their apparent example. A-hah!
Then These Golden Opportunities provide us with such favorable chances that it is hard to explain – isn’t it? Furthermore if one never takes the time to learn, one will never be able to understand much less be able to explain to another these wonderful laws of completion. What one fails to understand in one life is rolled over into another life, and another, and so on, until one actually begins to listen, understand, and implement the change required to continue the route of the horseshoe path in the valley of the shadow of death. It remains choice.
Just because the roof is now repaired doesn’t give us excuse not to mop up the water or clean up the mess or the damage that it caused. Nor may we, or can we pass the responsibility to someone else. We may ask for help but that’s a different avenue. This is Lech Lecha for yourself. The storm damage is from the destructive forces that you yourself allowed into your own life. They all came about because of CHOICE; specifically by your OWN CHOICE! We still have to take care of wall damage, ceiling damage, furniture and damaged personal things. It might take a while but it ALL has to be fixed. If not, we will carry these damaged goods with us to the judgment where they will be seen as sin that you bring with you. The advice is fix it now or be sent back through reincarnation to fix it later. No spot, no blemish, no wrinkle, no sin, transgression, or untruth can enter into the straight and narrow gated path out of here and back home. Simple – like it or not – it will not change it.
Within These Golden Opportunities is the greatest measure of repair [tikkun] available. Mend things with God. Mend things with family. Mend things with friends.
Since most people have no idea the extent of what I am trying to get across in this treatise, we offer the following: that which we have observed loving and being loved of God. Here it is again, God gives you These Golden Opportunities without you realizing it, and if you simply look around and see what he has just done for you, then perhaps you can readily see it as an offer to repair the roof . . . I mean the relationship. You are cordially invited by HaShem, blessed be his name, to LOVE & PRAISE HIM for his goodness.
Did he keep you from getting shot, run over, assaulted, jailed, raped, starved, diseased? What is it you absolutely know you dodged a bullet on? Did he keep you from losing everything you think you have worked for? Did he ever see that you were redundantly bailed out of similar situations like this one; and this is just one more time? Do you not understand you could have just as easily been placed in another environment to be impoverished, enslaved, tortured, and terrorized? You could be homeless, deaf, blind, mute – name it! Damn a foolish outlook on what you think you don’t deserve! When some people lose their lives and others beside them live, who do you think controls that? I implore you stand still and see the salvation of the Lord! [Exodus 14:13]
Remember the part about faith and listening? Well above all God is faithful and stands ready to convince as he is convinced, to bless as he is blessed, and to love as he is loved. With what measure you mete so shall it be measured to you. You will discover how love covers a multitude of sins. Because you have asked him to be merciful, to overlook or forgive things until you can get the mess cleaned up He puts a cover over it all. The cover represents his expectations of what he intends to find once he lifts the veil. His will is that not any perish but all come to repent. [2 Peter 3:9] The multitude of sins that are in your house – your flesh must be eradicated from the body or vessel. He provides the cover so that he will not see as a constant reminder, your filthy attitude, your selfish ways, your hateful demeanor, your lying voice, your guile, contentiousness, thievery, whoring and fornications. Just fill in the rest. He doesn’t want to see any of it and when you get it all cleaned up He will want to look.
How attractive do wicked fools think they are to those seeking righteousness? As fools seek only the things of the flesh that money and bodily exercise promote, they can be attractive only to a like-minded fool.
Can one become disillusioned and spiritually challenged with the one they were sure was their soulmate? Can we seek after wisdom to the point that we actually conclude that our partner in life is indeed a fool?
There are several words in scripture that denote “fool” all the way from just having confidence in something that is just plain silly, to actually being extremely wicked. One thing undeniable is that every fool is basically “STUPID;” they just don’t understand. Fools are senseless and fools are vile. Fools are convicted of saying in their heart THERE IS NO GOD!
Fools slander and fools do mischief. Fools are right in their own eyes and scripture tells us the spite of a fool is continually shown. Fools despise words of wisdom and the instruction of the father; and fools are not known for excellent speech. Fools have no delight or desire to understand and the lips of fools enter quickly into contention. Fools return to the same folly again and again like a dog to vomit.
God calls individuals FOOLS that are unwise, egotistical, ignorant and unbelieving!
Furthermore scripture advises us to deal with fools in this fashion:
Proverbs 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Then in the next verse Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. It may seem just a bit puzzling. However, the scrutiny is not necessarily in whether to provide answer or not, although there are times when certain fools deserve no answer at all. Especially those that insist upon returning to the same vomit. Yeshua held his peace and gave no answer.
Answering “a fool according to his folly” is the key. If you let a fool define the avenue of discourse then the path to truth will never be set upon, and the conceit and the vain approach of the fool allows him or her to remain in the folly or vomit. Once again, answering “a fool according to his folly” is the key; to recognize the supposition or question as a legitimate discourse is to answer and be like him or her; whereas answering the very absurdity of the folly sharply from the point of wisdom in order to shame the fool becomes somewhat dutiful. We have an obligation to understand we are our brother’s keeper up to a point. Firmly rejecting untruth on behalf of another is to provide one with the truth of being set free from the silliness of a fool’s folly.
Additionally we can understand from the same two verses that the words “according to his folly” are presented twice – meaning they are presented and therefore heard twice. Once to be ignored and once to be responded to. Yet herein can be seen another revelation – not to give answer is to deny the scheme of lower mentality, intellect, or understanding to claim our time; and to give answer is to provide the higher or supernal discussion on any given matter of question.
So then, how long are we mandated to walk with a fool? The real answer is until we see within These Golden Opportunities a way that REQUIRES us to work out our OWN salvation with fear and trembling before Him. Longsuffering is in the place kabbalists call chesed; love also resides there with grace and kindness as well. It’s a place that allows one to master it all. Here we are invited to walk together in love, but if we refuse to do so, either one or both are then shown another path. Here’s the rub. There are numerous paths that lead out from that perfected area, there is a path up and there is one down, but the one that keeps it most balanced is from right to left which puts one directly in gevurah or a place of severity or judgment; it is also a place of fear. It is love that requires the path from right to left to be taken. 1 John 4:18 tells us perfect love casts out fear. Elsewhere we learn, as many as God loves he also chastens or punishes. Do any of you think God would punish one for having perfect love and send that one to a place of punishment? Heavens no! It is the imperfection or the refusal to master love as described in those seven steps that is addressed. Sit thou on my right side is an invitation to overcome your enemies.
So do any of you still insist on maintaining the foolish idea that we don’t need to communicate one with another? You better sit down and talk, or one or both of you will be directed to another path. As the Apostle Paul posed the challenge, it is as unto us a race to be run; therefore, in realizing this you may also consider the obvious outcome if all is not adjusted. Trust me you know perfectly well where to begin the adjustment. You can walk or run with another but if one is too lazy, or obstinate, or vindictive, or continually searching for whatever hindrance they may offer today, and they have no intention of getting in step, then you may have to trudge toward your own peaceful finish line. That is providing you have merited to do so yourself.
Fools do have options because as stated in Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise. One cannot hear if one is insistent upon talking.
What is one to do who has become disillusioned and spiritually challenged with the one they were sure was their soulmate; but can no longer walk the road of life under disagreeable and destructive terms? Whatever terms of separation are set in motion, either lesser or greater, then the consequences of those CHOICES, mutual or otherwise, will release the providence with no absence of delay and the decree from on high will be honored. There are no accidents there are only choices.
There are many avenues of reconciliation and the restitution of all things is a must. Unbeknownst to wayward souls they are obligated to choose their route of tikkun here before they leave according to their own actions or choice. If one half of true paradise soul-mates has fallen into the kelipah, or shell of becoming a fool, and possesses no rectified desire to be released therefrom, then the wise mate will be extended one of These Golden Opportunities to either sit down and wait on them or go back and help them some more at another eventful point. Both will know when each are examined for what they’ve said and for what they’ve done. Confusion will not be a part of this.
If on the other hand the soul-mate that one walks with in this present length of journey is NOT to enter paradise at the same time with the other, then they have been obviously joined together in order to help one another on this particular stretch of journey. However, conclusions should not be drawn from this very elementary statement although it remains true. All souls must give in to the generality and specificity of teshuvah and tikkun. Repentance and repair. If there is no repentance then there is no repair. If there is no repair there remains the surety of patience until the knowledge sinks in. If one refuses to repent there is no obligation to advance any further knowledge until that one accepts the cross which denotes also time and event, and accepts the crucifixion.
Jesus – yeshua – had two wrongdoers – one to each side – one wise – one foolish. One repented and one did not. One joined Christ in paradise THAT DAY and one had to be born again and wait until he too could pass muster.
Every commandment or mitzvah has a measured judgment inherently attached to it that encompasses time and degree of transgression. How long will HaShem’s displeasure express itself, and are we still guessing as to what he may have assigned as punishment? Both are His prerogative; He’s the King. It is His law transgressed.
Does one constantly dishonor their parents or have they just done it once and never made it right? Does another habitually tell lies, or did they tell someone something that just gnaws at them because they never owned up to it and asked for forgiveness? We are all being given the chance to clean things up, when we do we shall see this corruption put on incorruption and this mortality put on immortality. There are 613 mitzvah or commandments in the Torah. The positive things to do are 248 which is equal to the gematria of Abraham. The negative things that are not to do number 365 which equal the number of days in the year. Doing and not doing mitzvah allows us Golden Opportunities to right the wrongs quickly.
One might say “I don’t have enough time.” The very fact that you’ve perceived such an observation may be your Golden moment of redemption. Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Let’s go one level deeper. Not everyone turns their attention to knowing the time and therefore die like men not knowing that they were destined to become Gods.
Psalms 82:5-7 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
So many people don’t understand that profound reference, and yet again, it is pronounced to every entity that came from and is destined to return to that specific level; and every level is qualified by the knowledge held therein, and acquired, by merit of accomplishment, and by genuine tikkun. Many are called but few are chosen. Why? Because they will not heed the invitation. So what if one runs out of time? Time is a line upon which event positions its offer and it remains; because time is measured by the return element. The day is measured by its return, the month by its return, and the year by its return. Therefore the millennial reign we seek will be a return. The offers to be able for any to participate in the knowledge of the 1st resurrection are still on the table. Likewise are the consequences of the 2nd resurrection. Do you think God is going to run out of millenniums or eons? Time is only part of a measure of grace unto us in order for us to understand. We could not as finite beings receive it all at once.
We descended from the very first primordial Adam who is called Adam Kadmon; he could not receive it all and as a result his being or form was shattered. The same is seen metaphorically in the analogy of new wine in old bottles. This World of AK is above the World of Atziluth. We are all parts of what is known as the shattering of the vessels. This is a part of what we are to help repair. In doing so we repair the image of our maker and we shall see as we now are but do not understand. The kelipah meaning “shells or husks” mentioned earlier comes from Sitra Achra or “the other side” and we are all affected by them. They provide a hardness that is to keep us separated from holiness. The word kli on the other hand is properly understood as “vessel” and is for the containment of the light of creation reserved for each of us as we develop each level of our souls in order to receive it.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
To see something is to understand it. As mentioned above are we out of time? We see people run out of time quite often because we’ve been a part of trying to help some see and understand. I’ve had people tell me they always wanted to be a gangster and so they were a gangster. I’ve had people tell they preferred to act out homosexual fantasies over denouncing the wickedness of the temptation and take their last breath deceived. People have stupidly challenged the validity of Godly teachings, and then breathe their last within a few days and go on to lift up their eyes in hell. There are folks foolishly trudging back and forth – today – through highways and domiciles trying to prove men of God wrong. Yet those men who serve God in various levels of merit and attainment confidently and steadfastly still ask of fools “Is anything too hard for God?”
Wake up if any of this has touched a chord; its design is to penetrate to the very center from whatever avenue you will let it get there. We are still on that deeper examination of the truth. Truth is: fix things in your life and you can help fix things in others’ lives. If you wait ONE DAY TOO LATE then you’ve missed the best of These Golden Opportunities. How can I say such a thing? Torah teaches just that. At the end of six shaneh or time cycles a man could make application to have the grace in his life that he has recognized to be continued. His request must be judged by those who know. His conviction must be enough to convince the judge. Esoteric teaching then tells us if he waits one day too long then he has no chance to voice his petition. One day too late puts the individual soul in the lot of those who are appointed unto the next experience which is resurrection. It is either to wake up for the first resurrection or later in the second resurrection.
Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
How do we get to that point of being judged clean or unclean, holy or unholy? If one fails to repair the confusion in this life then they are obligated to repair it in the life to come. How come this isn’t taught in mainstream “chur-chi-an-ity” in order to change sinners? Because the truth of God was changed into a lie and the gospel of prosperity offers a false hope that makes them all think “you’re gonna get it all when you are raptured” because you don’t have to do a thing – the price has already been paid.
BULLSHIT!
It is because the nature of sinners is to procrastinate, lie, cut corners, look for other answers, and finally say I’ll do it later – it just don’t matter. They enjoy the flesh they are presently in or so they think they do. However, they do not understand their next fleshly body may not be so enjoyable. They simply choose to be in the flesh so they can desire the lusts thereof: the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.
Now in learning these things there should be less question as to why certain people are born handicapped, mentally challenged, hell bent to destroy and be destroyed. Folks are in hardships because they deserve to be in hardships. If you’re poor there’s a reason, if you’re rich there is also a reason. If you are ugly, smart, witty, talented, or as dumb as a rock – you deserve what you are. Just think about it, I don’t have to delineate it all. We are like the servant that after six years could make a change just before the next year was officially recognized. A window of opportunity is what I call it. We were all driven out of paradise and mandated to work for six years, only these years, or shaneh were a thousand years each. The next year is the Sabbath and the vow or the sevens will complete our presentation. We will not be able to work on it any longer. Scripture teaches the time comes when no man can work any longer.
The 33rd chapter of Job esoterically addresses this aspect of our souls coming from the World of Yetzirah or having been formed with six sides as we are set in this lower world in order to acknowledge the above, the below, and the four directions in which we occupy in the very center. The use of the word “oftentimes” in verse 29 is a compilation of two words which are pa‛ămâh meaning occurrence at this place of repetition or twice {as time on time}, and the other word shâlôsh meaning three or thrice. The two together reveal 2×3=6. These six times are merciful reincarnations initially given unto the soul of man in order to present his soul purified and eligible to return from the six years of work assigned to it.
What does this have to do with each of us in specificity and in terms of generality? Torah says men are like trees and that trees were assigned a lifetime of a thousand years. Stay with me. Adam lived 930 years look it up. That is 70 years shy of the thousand right? Ancient writings reveal that Adam forfeited 70 years in his first body in order to give it to his second body which was King David. Yes King David only lived 70 years – why? You just got the answer. Now there are multitudinous reasons for the reincarnation to take place just as it did, and they are learned from the study of both characters. Suffice it to say when God told Adam that he was to rule over everything – that – made him King. David alone was the chosen king for that dispensation of struggle. Jesus was hailed the Son of David. Is there any question as to why we await the Kingdom of David at the seventh millennium?
The spirit or soul of Elijah was in John the Baptist’s life. Remember all the great things Elijah did for God? Then he ended up with just a little doubt about it all and hid in a cave where he received a reprieve in that flesh and was taken skyward. He still had to address that doubt – it wasn’t acceptable to Yahweh. Call it a blemish in his character. He was reincarnated in John and just before his head was removed he was compelled to send his question of doubt unto Jesus. He said, with that same doubtful weight, “Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?” He took the opportunity to use up the remainder of his doubt. Once it is used up it no longer exists.
Many . . . in fact most, of the weights and sins that so easily beset us are a direct result of our own choices; choices made within each body that our souls have resided in until they ran out of time. How can this remain a strange thing to know? Count them up how many of the thousand years that were promised to you have you lived. Shem lived 600 years, in whom did he live the remainder? Balak and Balaam, Moses and Elijah, all messengers or more secretly understood as angels. Have we entertained any of them?
Do we suffer scars because we have given scars? Are we mistreated because we have exercised ourselves in mistreatment? Do we have an inexplicable headache because we once knocked someone in the head and never apologized for it? Do people steal from those who were once thieves? Do people find fortune and fame, or prominence because it was once taken from them? Have they just now reached a level that allows them to further taste the heavenly gifts of true prosperity? Remember we are called to be Kings and Priests. Remember the young rich ruler was sitting on top of the world; he only had one little thing to correct. It seems he went away having no resolve to do so. When he comes again will he be as poor as Job’s turkey because he would not give up his riches to the poor? Have you lost your place yet or are you still with me? Kings are rich and generous – Priests know, and love, and represent, the things of God that flow in two directions.
Oh my there is an answer for all of it. The demons we wrestle against are they sent by us? Did we on that general timeline at one specific juncture choose to ignore the teaching rather than embrace it? Every one of These Golden Opportunities allows us to look ahead and try to understand the full purpose of our existence.
Lech Lecha. Time to go! Get started! Today! Ask someone for forgiveness! Find someone to forgive. Remember what you did wrong! Admit it! Stop lying! Stop being a fool! Time to grow up! Time to leave the things you learned that were all wrong. Listen and go! The time for separation and to be counted as holy is at hand.
If you’re holding someone back – shame on you. If that someone you’re holding back is you – shame on you. Two cannot walk together except they be in agreement. If you can’t walk together – separate! If you can walk together – act like it – then agree to it! If you deny this or any other truth – shame on you. If you insist on being right knowing you are wrong – shame on you. Either accept the help of these words or let the shame be on you. Either recognize those around you as being there to help you or be prepared for the consequence for not doing so. If you don’t believe in consequences – shame on you!
If you don’t believe that These Golden Opportunities exist – shame on you!
May I rest now my case for the specifics of generalization
May the big rock I’ve thrown strike the center of it all
May the rippling effect of love reach its destiny
May these words help each to understand
May each hear the word. Lech Lecha
