B"SD
החשבים להשכיח את-עמי שמי בחלומתם אשר יספרו איש לרעהו כאשר שכחו אבותם את-שמי בבעל
I have found that this pasuk (Yirmiyahu 23:27) has the same exact gematria as 5773!
It
says: "Who think to make My people forget My Name by their dreams
which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot My name for
Ba'al".
Heaven is warning the Jewish Nation to
return to simple and direct contact with YKVK. To abandon its
divisive ways and do teshuvah.
We all need achdut ("union") with kedusha ("holiness"). As
if the general chilonin and the
reform and conservative heretical growth wasn't sufficient to stain the Bnei Israel, we have Erev Rav (true presence,
as the Ari"zal said it would happen and thus)
"mentalities" ever more influencing the orthodox/chareidim
community and
"leaders". A plague of shitot (separatism in groups) brings
anguish to Heaven and delays Mashiach.
If Mashiach were to reveal himself now, there
would be almost no one to greet him! Because for some, he must be Satmar, other want a Chabad Mashiach, others yet
want a very Litvish
"pshat-like" Mashiach. Yet, most Orthodox/Chareidim are not even doing real tikkun hamidot and as such, studying Sod to hasten his arrival (as explained
in the holy Zohar and the sages, of blessed memory). The Ari”zal explains in the daf alef of Sha’ar
HaMitzvot that if a yehudi does not study Sod, he will have to suffer gilgul to complete the missing parts of
his studies, of their tikkun.
There is so much written on this. The GR’A says that a yehudi that does not study Sod does not even understand
the Pshat. I am not
speaking to the philosophical Sod studies of Chabad etc., the so called Kabbalah Iyyunit etc. All of the sudden, an increasing number of Chabad rabbis think there are mekubalim (kabbalists). Anyone offers a Kabbalah "course". Alevai this was true! Mystical knowledge is not about reading from books and regurgitating its contents. It is so much more, from new Torah insights and living spiritual experiences, contacts with higher domains etc. I will not explain this here, however it must be said that everything I teach and write is focused on teaching holiness and righteousness and to get my students and readers back in touch with G-d, personally and directly. I have no time or room for nonsense. I am not interested is distracting my readers with "mystical mumbo-jumbo" (maybe it is good and interesting - even entertaining - for the aspiring and beginner ba'al teshuva who does not know any better), make-believe stories about Rabbis and other unrealistic, misguiding lessons. The problem is that mysticism creates these types of illusions of grandeur. Life is not about being fake. Life is not about fantasy. Life is not about make-believe. Life is about being real. Life is about harsh realities. Life is about hard work and strenuous effort: Lefum tza'arah agra ("according to the effort will be the reward"). This, more than anything else, sums up the the message of the entire genre of classical mystical literature. Moreover, the non-Jews are making a tremendous mess with their infantile fantasies of so called Kabbalah. The blind leading the blind, it is uncanny. Their arrogant tumah ("impurity") is mixed
with half-truths forming totally incoherent systems with the authentic Torah-Kabbalah. They may call it whatever they wish, but it is never, ever anything remotely related to with the holy Kabbalah. Misguided fools, they
know nothing at all and never will if they don’t work very hard on their "path of righteous
gentiles" (the Sheva Mitzvot). It is all just a big ego trip, a self-delusional thing, with horrible effects on
reality here on up on High. They are so incredibly arrogant and dense. In fact, most do
not accept any correction from those who can correct them. It is insane,
totally. This is caused by the Jews who disdain true Chochmat HaEmet (Kabbalah), by our sins (the Ari"zal spoke of that on the formation of cults). So
many of our frum brothers are only focused on pshat and poskim, on ritual, and
political rivalry that they are incapable of connecting Torah with reality. Some have asked me:
“Is it just you who thinks there is a correlation between Torah and science or is there anybody
else?”. There are other questions like this one I hear all the time. All they
see is the body, not the soul of Torah,
the true Sod. I am
speaking of a path of purity and righteousness leading to the kabbalat hasagat ruach hakodesh ("to receive holy
inspiration"). I am speaking of plain Rak
Torah, not shitot. The Ba’al Shem Tov explained clearly (Sefer Ba’al Shem
Tov, parashat Shemot, alef) that religious rite done
by rote, if devoid of kavanah, bittul and devekut, all goes to the klipah. It is a tragedy how
secular values have penetrated chareidim mindset, and the less observant
are even much more contaminated it is hard to even begin speaking of this. So much gashmiyut is sickening. Also, there is such
lack of derech eretz and of basic understanding of
emotions, subtle and sensitive things. This is because there is no Sod/Feminine side being
developed, which can only come through Sod-thinking.
When close to many chareidim I feel I have step into a
"parallel reality", in many cases, psychologically retarded. They
just don’t understand subtle spiritual thinking, "lateral-thinking",
"deep thinking", connections and connections and connections and them more connections to reality, most at least. Name it whatever you desire, words do
not matter. Now, there are good and wonderful people of course. Some are so
special and sweet, elevated. Still, there is so much religious talk today with
so very little actually being said. It seems that everyone has something to
say, each one louder than the next, each one trying to prove himself the
intellectual superior over the other guy. Yet, with all the talk, nothing of
true value gets said and even worse, nothing at all of any real significance
ever gets done. Talk is cheap and cheap talk is ever cheaper. I am speaking of
the supreme need for righteous actions only and the understanding of YKVK's message pouring down
from shamayim all the time and directly into the
heart of all who desire His closeness. You must learn to hear your heart and
become a kli d'kedusha ("a holy recipient") to His
words. Teshuvah brings this power, for it is His voice
speaking. To hear His voice one must really develop his character traits and
the intuitive/psychic strength (the
right-brain activity part of the mind), fulfilling Torah and mitzvot with great joy, always. The
academic, cold “learning” is not enough even with great Torah religious observance. One cannot
be a talmid chacham without Sod, because Chochmat HaEmet is Sod. Such true chacham is a master of spiritual realities
or at least a sincere student of it. All the religious babble has
degenerated into being entertainment. "The chachamim are chachamim in name only (says the Ari"zal on Yeshayahu 29). We don't even need to Ari"zal telling us, just pay attention and
feel things with your heart. Learn urgently to be intuitive, not merely
rational, for that is Torat
HaAtzilut, the Torah of Mashiach to be revealed soon, as it is written: "A new Torah will come forth from Me" (Yeshayahu 51:4). And it is written: "And I
will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit inside you; and I will
take the stony heart from their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh"
(Yechezkiel 11:19). This
can be a reality now, but you must crave intensely to rescue the Shechinah with all of your deeds. It is a time
of pidyon shvuyim ("redemption
of captives"). The holy Sefer HaBrit (Rabi Pinchas Eliyahu of Vilna a"h) brings this as the way to hastening the Geulah ("Redemption"). Now, back to the pshat "mindset".
Learning Torah has become some perverted
form of intellectual pride in one being able to memorize and appear
smarter than another. This is not what religion is supposed to be about.
We are not supposed to be impressing others with our words. My computer is
smarter than any of these pshutim minds, for it has thousand of
pages of Torah "memorized" and it can recall it in
a flash. The prophet’s warning, which I found relating to the upcoming year of
5773 could not be more perfectly accurate and in total sync with the times.
Everyone - Jew and Righteous Gentiles - must be completely careful not to
exchange YKVK for a Ba’al, an idolatry: be it
money, power, lust, gluttony, lashon
hara, sinat chinam, bittul Torah, frivolous
behaviors, ga'avah ("pride"), lesser tziniyut, lesser kashrut, secular thinking and focus, kullot upon kullot, or whatever idol you have become linked up to, chaz v’shalom. This is the wrong direction: "A person who observes the mitzvot with all their stringencies is confronted by tests all the time; it is a constant battle for him, and it is easy for him to practice stirring up his good inclination in order to overcome the bad one. Having so many opportunities to be tested every hour of the day, his ascendancy is assured and his improvement secured" (Chazon Ish, Emunah V'Bitachon, Torat HaMiddot, Tet). The time now is most urgent, because as the revelation
of the true Mashiach does in fact approach, Heaven is guiding the world ever more rapidly and intensely towards the purging of evil as Zechariah 13:2 promises. There will be no place for “half”
orthodox life-styles, half-truths, half-commitments to a halachic life. Mashiach will
come to rule by the Mishpat, the Law. The time of “more or less” religious
practices so shamelessly common, or the leaning on minhagim to
avoid stricter levels of halacha or any and all form of rebellion against YKVK's laws, this will end soon, amen. So much
more to say, but still, this is just a short message to speak about matters deeply set in my heart. Heed to
the message and take advantage of teshuvah. Evolution is a real possibility.
Reevaluate your current frumkait ("religious standards"). I know you are very
"comfortable". However soon, you won't be able to and you won't be prepared.
There is a powerful storm coming, as never seen it before. It will destroy all
idols and all those linked to them. It is real time to prepare for what is coming,
as only those who remember how to call YKVK's Name will be part of the "Remnant
Community" (Micah HaNavi 5:6, Haftarah of Balak).
