SIRENS, Then & Now

7/9/2014

BS"D

Here's a little bit of "hhizuk" (strengthening) for us all.

 In greek mythology (which for us is actually meaningless idolatry) the sirens were dangerous yet beautiful creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Sirens misled men off their proper course to destruction.

Now the sirens of the air raids here in Israel, while they are indeed needed to warn us of real physical danger, must be taken differently than most of us do. We humans are easily misled off course to forget our source, our BIG ally. We shipwreck ourselves on the rocky coast of kfira (apostasy) in Hashgahha/Divine Providence. I learned years ago that yes a Jew must recognize danger & take proper caution. BUT he must NOT get "butterflies in his stomach", panic etc for that is kfira. The Rav who taught us this when I lived in Emanuel during the 1st Iraq war 23 years ago & the intifada, told us "yes I have a gun on the seat next to me when I drive past Arab villages & would use immediately if need be, & I don't enter their villages, especially not at night. That is proper sane caution. But I do not permit myself to feel jitters etc for that would be kfira in HaShem's guiding & guarding hand. By the way he was not a young sportive tough guy.

When the sirens sang out back then, 23 years ago, in the evenings we went out to the street made a circle danced & sang things like "Ussu Eissa vetufar...." & "am Yisrael Hhai", & watched SCUDS that were coming down directly overhead CHANGE COURSE in midair! This is impossible by natural status, those things are immense & fast. 2 fell on Arab villages celebrating that missiles were falling on Jewish towns/cities & 1 fell into a mud filled valley!

 From the scifi book "Dune" here is a line worth remembering; "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Don't get tempted off course by the sirens.

Sure go to the miklatim, if you feel a need to, BUT without panic, without fear. Instead we must all; work on our EMUNAH, do soul searching tshuvah (without getting depressed from it), pray, help each other, give ssdaka, increase our Ahavat Yisrael (love of our fellow Jew), sing dance find what to thank HaShem about & be happy about every day, even thank HIM for these noisy "wake up calls" & lovingly wake up others to these points.

It may sound nuts to you at 1st, but go for it & you'll see it's a great sanity saver & life saver.

Parashat Messorah 5774

The haftarah is of 4 men with ssaraat (Biblical version of leprosy) were sitting outside Yerushalyim which at the time was under siege by the army of Aram. People in the city were dying from hunger & these 4 were ‘on the way’ too.

One of them got the idea that maybe they could get some food handouts from the Aram military camp. His buddies liked the idea & the 4 of them bumbled out to the army camp.

Much to their amazement they found it abandoned, not a single human being was there or even near. The reason was that HaShem had instilled into the Aram army the audio delusion that an immense combined army of Egypt & the Hittites was charging on them in the midst of the night & so they all fled for their lives, leaving everything behind. The 4 were delighted, entered a tent & dined merrily. They looted the tent of clothes & gold which they hid elsewhere. Then returned & did the same in another tent.

Bellies full & lots of loot hidden away they decided they have to tell the king that the Aramayans ran off & that there is food for all to be had for free & so save the people of Yerushalayim from starvation.

Cool, super rescue by HaShem. How many of us stop & consider the way the Hashgaḫa (Divine Intervention) operated here? Let’s take a look.

1.     The nation of Israel was due for a slap by HaShem & Aram was the chosen tool for it.

2.     Along with that, HaShem did not want to kill everyone, or even most, off.

3.     Aram’s army besieged the Holy City/Capitol all appeared lost.

4.     HaShem preplanned the salvation along with the slap by having the 4 men contract ssaraat in time to be outside the city walls precisely during the siege.

5.     This enabled them to be able to go to the camp of Aram unhindered.

6.     HaShem projected into the minds of that siege forces the delusion of a massive midnight assault against them & they ran off like rabbits, leaving everything behind.

7.     One of the 4 men got the idea to beg for food from the siege force, HaShem’s instilling the idea in his mind.

8.     The men who were ill with that disease for having slandered someone did also have some good character traits & so merited HaShem letting them be HIS tools to notify the King of the food waiting for the people to save them.

We also learn from this instance that even a person who so severely violated the Torah laws still can have a good side & do something very good, even save an entire city. In this point as well there is a lesson for us.

Women's Rights 3

3/24/2014

I must point out a few rights of women that have been grossly neglected.
This will be brief & Be'ezrat HaShem be expanded upon at a later date.
Women, girls, have an unalienable right to be treated with respect, respect as any person deserves plus additional respect to NOT be targets or prey for the lusts of base predators! Not in the home, not in school/college etc, not in the workplace, not in malls etc. Also not in advertisements etc.

ALSO:
Wives - mothers, in the vast majority of cases do an immense amount of work in the home, & most of it goes unnoticed, be it by their husbands and/or their children.
This phenomenon is both ingratitude & disrespectful.
I challenge men who do not recognize this workload to let their wives have a few days off & do all the housework the wife normally does.
Get everyone up, dressed & out of the house to school or work, see to it that those who need food to take along get it, wash dishes, put the dry dishes & cutlery in place, sort out & do the laundry (wash, dry, iron/fold, put in everyone's closet/drawers), clean the house, do the shopping for food & general daily household needs, prepare 3 meals a day, set the table, clear & clean the table, greet the kids when they come home & have either dinner or a snack ready for them, hear about their day, mend sorrows & scrapes, take children to doctors appointments, and that's just a part of it......
Even if your/mother doesn't all of that, know that she does a good part of it. It takes time & strength. Respect that. Part of your respect is to take a part of the workload off of her hands, AND never give her the feeling that it is for any lack on her part or that she owes you something for that. Because the fact is that you owe her that very help.
On top of that women who work at some kind of job/business to help with the income deserve recognition for that. But ladies PLEASE don't even dream of degrading hubby for his not being the total breadwinner. These days it's rare that one person can bring in enough to keep things going.

Vayikra 5774

Sorry this is a week late. It was last Shabat’s parashah. But still good learning.

The Ohr ḪaHayim Hakadosh O.B.H.M. (Of Blessed & Holy Memory) enlightens our eyes & teaches us an important point regarding HaShem’s change of choice of words between the sacrifices of bulls & rams to the sacrifices of doves & pigeons. Regarding the former we have “sacrifices”, but with the latter we have “sacrifices to HaShem”. Let us see what he says is the meaning for this change. After all we all know that HaShem’s choice of words has definite intention, & is never mere poetic license. Here is his insight; for a man of means it was no great financial difficulty to bring an ox or a ram, even specially fattened up ones, especially since they were only yearlings. However since the poor man due to his poverty must make do with a mere common small bird for his sacrifice, it is more difficult than the ox or ram of the wealthier man. This is both because of the monetary expense & the embarrassment he feels that all those around see the low state of his status’ & these points subdue him, break his heart, all the more. Therefore his sacrifice is termed by Torah as being higher - “a sacrifice to HaShem”.

The Torah & its lessons are eternal. So what is in this for us to learn in today’s world? Part of the innovations of the Baal Shem Tov O.B.H.M., & Rabbi Naḫman of Breslov O.B.H.M. was to encourage the “small” people of our holy nation that they/we have a higher level, are closer to HaShem, in ways than many of those who consider themselves & are considered by others as “big” & “high up”. Well known is the story of how the Baal Shem Tov O.B.H.M. praised the service of HaShem of the simple illiterate shepherd who prayed via special tunes he played on his flute. Too is known how Rabi Levi Yisḫak of Berditchov O.B.H.M. praised the wagoner who greased the axles of his wagon while praying the Shaḫarit service wrapped in his Talit (prayer shawl) & crowned with his T’filin (phylacteries).

There were, & still are, those who laughed at & degraded these great pious Ḫasidim on their “freakish inventions without any foundation in Torah” etc. And here we have from none less than “the powerful hammer”, “the western lamp”, “the pillar of fire” - Holy Ohr HaḪayim O.B.H.M., proof from the Torah itself that yes indeed their words were drawn from the Holy Torah itself. For are not those examples in the same light as “a sacrifice to HaShem” of the dove or pigeon which the impoverished man brought! May it be HaShem’s will that in the very near future the divisive ones will be stopped from their derision of the true righteous tsadikim, & the baseless intramural hatred within Bnei Yisrael, the Jewish nation, be put to end, & the true Mashiaḫ be publicly known & come to rule with the final complete redemption & bring the 3rd Holy Temple, so be HIS will AMEN!

 Pekudei:

The root of the word is Pakad (Pei, Kuf, Dalet). This root is common to Hebrew words meaning; remember, award pregnancy, count, account, command, commander. E.g. HaShem remembered Sarah & awarded her with a pregnancy, Yosef told his brothers that HaShem will remember HIS children & raise them up out of Egypt, in this past Shabat’s Parshah & Haftorah men are counted, an accounting is made of the treasury of the Mikdash, & so on.

We learn from the Ar”i Za”l that when a person does special good deeds, follow the commandments (PeKuDoth) with love & dedication, dedicated him/herself to connecting to HaShem, to seeking to do HIS will, HaShem “remembers” (PaKaD, yiPhKoD) that person & may award (PoKeD) him/her with a “spiritual” impregnation (PaKaD) of giving an added soul part from a tsadik (righteous person) of a previous generation to help that person go even higher.

Women’s Rights part 2

3/5/2014

BS”D
  There more things that are rights of women that have been violated - denied to them.  Some we always hear about, especially in non-Jewish or Jewish non-religious circles, though in sorry truth in recent years also in our religious communities as the influences of the “dark side” invade there as well. These are actual mistreatment, humiliation, disrespect, violence etc dealt towards women in the home. In the true tradition of Jewish life these things never were common & were practically nonexistent. For that reason many non-Jewish women in U.S.A. Canada & Europe sought to marry Jewish men in the past, realizing that they would be much better treated than with a husband of their own religion.

What we hear less about, but is no less detrimental harmful to women, is the changes in women’s health & general welfare that has come about in recent decades as more & more women take on the part of men, be it by their desire (read also “desire” influenced by so-called liberated women) or by men dumping men’s tasks upon them.

Statistical studies in many countries have proven that the percentage of women developing cancer, heart disease, diabetes, lupus emotional/psychiatric disorders, etc has risen along with the increase of women doing men’s tasks etc. So too has the ratio of differential between men & women in such diseases become much closer. What used to be considered to be men’s diseases - disorders has more & more become common to women. This definitely a pity.

As women have entered the “men’s world” of competition, rivalry etc they have increasingly fallen victim to the very same diseases that have been typically plaguing men in that world. This is pandered upon them to be a prize, a liberation??

What is also bothersome if one looks at it with clear eyes is that men have in general become more feminine in a number of ways. Also the abomination of ho,osexuality has become more common & even by design of the “dark side” become “acceptable” with any word against it becoming tantamount to crime, in this same crazy era.

All this should be a flashing red light & alarm bell ringing in the core of the soul of each & every one of us. The Sitra Ahhra /Dark Side forces are increasing in power, are infiltrating into every nook & cranny, into the halls of Kedusha seeking to befoul as much as they possibly can as quick as possible. Like a cornered rat fighting desperately with its last might.

Only a generation or 2 ago, who would have imagined to see an orthodox Jewish boy or man wearing pink shirts or ties, wearing tight pants etc, walking in an effeminate step manner, eating while walking in the street, listening to “music” based on rhythms of the basest drug promiscuity & violence mongering goyish tunes?

Only a generation or 2 ago, who would have imagined to see an orthodox Jewish girl or woman go about dressing like a “lady of the night”? Wearing perfume that is smelled meters away from her, wearing dresses, blouses, sweaters designed to emphasize the feminine shape of her body for every man to see & his eyes drawn to it even if he has no will to do so. Clothing designed to awaken sensual desires. Wigs that are long natural looking also designed to be “astounding” eye catching, wakening desire.

We have even heard of, shocking as it is, that there are some “Rebbetzins” (women of supposedly high religious standing in the public eye, even some are wives of “rabbis”) who give lessons to women for “marital peace” in which they direct the poor misled women to dress, make-up & super-perfume themselves like street-women, women of the night, & to even shamelessly behave extra sensually to keep their husbands seemingly loyal to them. They even tell them to expose themselves suchlike to the eyes of men in public, to go outdoors so adorned. Thereby they also draw other women & young girls to join the advice of the evil Balaam whose advice to Balak caused 24,000 men of Bnei Yisrael to get into a massive orgy with Moabite women. Balaam would be proud of such “Rebbetzins”, for their advice is just up his alley.

Instead of teaching them to uplift their spirituality, to improve their personality traits, the way they speak to & about their husbands, to say Tehilim for the benefit & moral/spiritual improvement of their husbands, they turn these Jewish women into low level sluts programming them to be purveyors of base lust instead of a light & principle of faith in their homes as is the true task of a loyal Jewish wife & mother.

What a shamefulness, that the inviolable right of the Jewish woman to be our honorable queen- mother, representative of the Sh’khina has been denied to her; & she has been degraded to a “look at me, desire me” street woman, a news flash seeking publicity beggar!

How sad, how degrading, what a loss of her supreme rights! “Kol kvod bath melekh pnimah” (All the honor of a king’s daughter is in her inner core traits”)

Daughter of Israel, daughter of Sarah Imeinu, of Rivkah, Rahhel, Leah, of Yokheved Moshe’s mother & Miriam the prophetess his sister, stand up for your rights, stand up against those who are degrading you & your sisters to turn them into ersatz men subject to the above mentioned diseases & into hollow soul-less common …...

By the way, any woman who wants to know how a kosher woman should & can keep her husband loyal to her & obtain true marital peace & bliss should read the book “Women’s Wisdom” by Rav Shalom Arush Shlit”a (very well translated to English by Rav Lazer Brody Shlit”a).

Women's Rights

2/27/2014

Women’s Rights:

Before we talk about women’s rights we must delve briefly into the matter of human rights. For that we must understand what “rights” are. In western culture “rights” simply means “I have it coming to me, I deserve it - give it to me”, or “so & so owes me such & such benefits”

The Hebrew word for “rights”, zkhut, means merit. Basically this means that yes one deserves something but must merit it. It is not “free for all”. The word also shares a common word root with the word concept of refining/refined. So we see even more that “rights” need to be earned, or are reserved for specific people or conditions.

Human rights mean that people have certain types of treatment/relationship coming to them. Yet that does require behavior fitting for a human being. In effect one who acts like a cruel aggressive beast cannot be given the same “rights” as one who behaves properly, in kindness, caring for the rights or welfare of others.

Also people with special needs do have a right for special considerations etc.

No one in his right mind would demand that a thin weakly man lift a 50 kilogram (125 pound) sack of potatoes & climb a hill or ladder with it. No one in his right mind would ask doughnut bakery worker, who has neither the training nor the capability to fly a Boeing 747 jumbo jet. Except in cases of emergency need, who would waste the time or energy etc of a special talented brain surgeon with the task of a street cleaner?

These sorts of things, sending people to do tasks not fit for them, were done by the evil Pharaoh of ancient Egypt to the Bnei Yisrael in bondage, in his project to break them.

Now as for women’s rights; the first thing we must realize is that a woman has the undeniable right (& responsibility) to be a woman. No one has any right to ask or demand of a woman to be a man, to imitate a man.

Nor does a woman have any real, true reason to want to be like a man. In case some people have not noticed, women’s bodies are built differently than men’s. Most people do not know how different they are built. Their brains are built differently as well.

Neither aspect of the difference is derogative. Both genders have their purposes for which they are built. Both designs are absolutely necessary for the proper working order of the world.

If you could build a battery with 2 positive/plus poles would a lamp light in a circuit with such a battery? No. The same would be if you would place 2 normal batteries in that circuit but with their identical poles touching so that again you have identical poles at the connection points of the circuit. Here too the lamp will not give light.

You could not use a piper cub for a high altitude high speed bombing task. It would not be able to even start to get to the required altitude nor could it carry the payload. Nor can you use a B2 or B111 for low altitude slow speed crop dusting. They would crash.

Medical scientists have discovered that a woman’s brain is “hard wired” to be more emotional, more easily frightened, panicked etc than men. Likewise it is known that several tasks that have traditionally been men’s tasks can cause damage to a woman’s body such that conception will be less likely to succeed, & if conceives that she would have trouble keeping the pregnancy.

It is not for naught that throughout the civilized world, or semblance thereof, nations have not required or even let women be in combat units of armies (except for extreme temporary situations). Look at the U.S.A., England, Europe, Canada etc women are in medical or auxiliary corps & not combat or heavy bodily stress tasks in their armies. Seasoned combat commanders have stated clearly that the presence of women in active combat is a definite extraneous hazard for them & to the entire unit.

In Israel there are 2 types of hoes used in agriculture. On is called “ma’adeir” the other “turia”. The former is the common hoe. The latter is larger & considerably heavier. In the early days of the settling & building of the renewed Jewish farming women used the turia like men did. However it was discovered by experience that the result was that those women had more miscarriages even after they had stopped working with the turia. Therefore a law was passed that forbid women to use a turia.

There are things men can do better than women, & there are things women can do better than men. There are things that are safer or surer for men to do than women, & there are things that are safer or surer for women to do than men.  There are also things that are the basically the same for both genders.

In the general world scene there was indeed a long period of restrictions on certain rights to women that indeed was unfair. The suffragettes fought that quite successfully. However in recent decades there sprouted a new wave that was in a number of ways simply nutty. If one looks at many of the publicized activities & announcements by their leaders the question begs to be asked, “Are they for real or are they just seeking attention that their parents or spouses didn’t give them?”

In the continuation of that wave there is now a trend in Israel of women who seem to want to be dissatisfied with being women & seek to be like men while still being women. They want to be in both worlds.

If one looks into what the most publically noticed group is doing & where they do it, it becomes all too obvious that they are going only for what is publically visible & physically easy. It is so very obvious they are even hungrier for “look at me! Pay attention to me”, than the “bra-burners” of several decades ago.

A 2nd somewhat quieter group does go for the harsher, harder tasks of men & indeed do endanger/harm themselves, & in cases of insisting of being combat soldiers endanger others as mentioned above.

What could possibly be the drive behind these 2 categories is a question that very much needs to be asked. While I do not propose myself to be the ultimate expert I do see from my past studies & experience several relevant answers.

1] Due to some difficulties in their childhood they have a fundamental state of displeasure/dissatisfaction with their lives, an emptiness, which they seek to fill - somehow - any way possible. Being unhappy with being a girl/woman they seek fulfillment in “as if boys/men”.

2] Due to lack of attention in their childhood, or form husbands in the case of married or divorced women, they seek it now however they can & this is a way to be sure to get it.

3] By the method of psychological analysis of Dr. Freud there is a phenomenon wherein girls at some point discover that boys have an appendage between their legs that girls don’t have, & they feel jealousy of that. Most get over it as they grow. Yet there are always those who don’t. So seeking to be allowed to do things that are classified as “men’s only” is a way to act out that jealousy.

4] There is the matter of gilgulim/reincarnation. Some women are gilgulim of men. These often tend to have some male traits or are attracted to doing “men’s jobs” etc.

5] Some are simply angry at some wrong, or imagined wrong, that they feel men have done to them & seek their revenge this way.

Those 5 causes do not make it right. In each of them, these women need help to get over the problem they have to enable them to be normal women. By normal woman I do not mean “get back to your kitchen & shut up” in way shape or form. Far from that. Between the demands of Torah Life that women MUST be respected & that they have many facets of their beings capabilities & importance, along what I said above this should be understood.

Strengthening in Emunah (faith, trust) in HaShem, that HE runs the world even to the day by day, moment by moment, events even in their private lives, would be a solution to these. There would be no more of the “replacement attention seeking”, of the jealousy, of the revenge etc.

The first human woman in the world, Hhava (Eve) is described in Torah as “mother of all which lives” (Bereisheet 3:20). Also we see that HaShem, The Creator, said that HE will make for man a mate as is written, “I will make him a help mate for him to be opposite him”. Those 2 verses show us what the prime purpose of a woman in this world is. Mothering & helping a man, her husband; helping him to achieve his purpose here, including gently wisely prodding him when needed.

Mankind was ordered to be fruitful & multiply. That means bringing children into the world & raising them, & those children also bringing children and so on through to end of time. That means the woman getting pregnant, delivering children & raising & caring for them. It means giving them from the light that her husband, their father brings to the household. Like the moon reflecting sunlight to the earth in the night. The world outside of the Garden of Eden is in a spiritual/moral state of “night” - darkness, & the mother must gather “light” from her husband (who must provide it, as in the aspect of “daylight sun”) prepare & give it in turn to their children.

Another part of her task in this world is to be her husband’s “mirror”, to reflect in front of him his character traits. From her he must learn what he needs to fix in himself to fulfill the reason/s he was sent here. Of course it is best that she do it wisely, cleverly & not like a sledge hammer. The best guidance for her doing this right is to be found in the book “Women’s Wisdom” by Rav Shalom Arush Shlit”a. (BTW the penultimate guidebook for men in the field of marital bliss is “Garden of Peace” by the same author.)

In summation we see that a woman is sent to life in this world by HaShem, The Creator, The Boss of all, for Maternity, feeding taking care of the clothing etc for her next generation, & accompanying - guiding etc her husband for fulfilling his incarnation requirements.

This does NOT mean being stuck within the 4 walls of her home 24/7.  It does NOT mean a baby every year until she is destroyed. Not at all. There are numerous things she can do - in addition to mothering & “husbandraising” - along with that. It does mean that these are her primary cause de etre’, all other fields are extras. Those extras she must judge carefully by the measuring standards of their effect on her family & will they truly bring her closer to HaShem.

The Torah in Bereisheet tells that Hhava got pregnant from her husband Adam, not by artificial insemination. The same is true with ALL the other bringing of progeny throughout the TaNaKH (Holy Bible - Torah, Neviim {Prophets}, Ketuvim {King Solomon’s writings etc}. Not one lesbian pumping donated semen into another with a roasting baster. Nor can there be progeny from 2 males. This abomination aberration is considered so evil by The Creator, so against one of the very foundations of creation that this is the only sinner whose offer for a sacrifice in the Mikdash (Holy Temple) must be refused - rejected!

There is no requirement, nor a need for a woman to wear Talit (prayer shawl) or T’filin (Phylacteries), ditto as for reading in public from or touching a Torah scroll. There are indeed times in her life when she is forbidden to do so. Usually between 10 to 15 days a month from pre-teen to early middle age. You ladies know what I mean. In fact even outside of those days, if she did not dip herself in a kosher Mikvah, after the proper preparations, at the proper time, she is not permitted at all.

There is a requirement for her to be a mother with that that noble so very special task entails. There is a requirement for her to be a wife who guides her husband, & if he wishes & is able to learn Torah then whatever she does to enable him (without harming their children’s education, moral & emotional growth) to do so is also important for her to do & she will be well rewarded for it.

A kosher Jewish woman is the principal center of the home, a loving mother birthing & preparing her children for goods Jewish lives, her husband’s accompaniment & guide & at times teacher, the honorable modest caring respected Queen of her little kingdom, the representative of the Holy Sh’khina (the Divine Presence) in the home. If she can add to that a job, career, outside hobby etc without damaging her primary role in life that's fine too. Now that’s a lot more fulfilling & honorable than the cheap empty publicity & increased chance of debilitating or life threatening diseases that the “bra-burners” or Women Off the Wall” have going for them.

About spiritual masters, guides, & meditation messages

2/24/2014

BS"D
As I promised in the opening post here is some important information regarding “masters” “guides” & “meditation messages” etc.

All living creatures have a nefesh or also known as an “animus” (basic animating level of the soul). In many humans this nefesh feels its connection to the source of souls, The Creator of all. This subconscious connection draws numerous people to seek a conscious connection to the Creator. This is good, if done right.

Seeking this connection puts one into the realms of spiritual/non-physical entities. One must know that these realms are inhabited by a plethora of various spiritual entities & denizens. It is of utmost importance to know, to realize that NOT all of them are pure, or beneficial or amicable to the human species. In fact several of them would be most happy to eradicate us, God forbid.

There are fundamentally 3 classes of such beings.

  1. Pure/holy such as angels or souls of tsadikim (righteous people). There are also spirits of common deceased people.
  2. Noga class spirits who are part pure-good part foul-evil.
  3. Evil spirits e.g. demons, neshiah etc. who will harm the human who contacted them.
The problem most encountered in travels or seeking in the spiritual realms is “what class of spirit” one encounters. None of class 2 or 3 will admit being such. They will always disguise themselves as type 1. This is what usually occurs in séances & always in “channeling”.

By entering that spiritual universe/dimension one exposes oneself to encounters with the inhabitants of those worlds. Only by correct preparation can one enter & exit unharmed, hopefully.

We can make a comparison to flying a high altitude high speed jet plane or a space flight. Such pilots must be of top physical & mental health & condition. They must go through a long series of training as well. Any attempt to fly such a vessel without those prerequisites would surely mean certain disaster.

First let’s consider what is required to be ready for a “flight” into the spiritual realms. A non-Jew must be observant of the 7 Noahhide Covenant laws.

  1. The prohibition of idolatry.
  2. The prohibition of murder.
  3. The prohibition of theft.
  4. The prohibition of sexual immorality, promiscuity.
  5. The prohibition of blasphemy.
  6. The prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive.
  7. The requirement of maintaining just & honest courts to provide legal recourse & to judge violators of the 1st 6.
Actually the majority are only required the 1st 6 of that list since they are usually not on a position to control over the matters of the 7th. Yet those who are must observe it also.

A Jew wishing to go into those realms must observe the commandments relative to him or her from the 613 commandments given to the Jews. The relevance is not a matter of “I feel like it is relevant to me”. It is a matter of what his/her life place is. E.g. a man who is not a cohen is not required to observe laws specifically relating to responsibilities of a cohen. Menstrual rules are not relative to men & women are not required to don T’filin.

Mainly the laws of morality/honesty, kashruth (kosher foods), Shabat & Holy days, sexual morality/purity, absolute belief in One God, prohibition of idolatry or blasphemy, prayer. In order to observe these laws & their branches one must study.

A man who has purposely “wasted his seed” or has had a seminal emission/pollution or has had contact with a menstrual woman (including one who has not been to a mikvah since her past menses), a woman who is menstrual or has not been to a mikvah since her past menses, are in great danger in such realms. They are 100% sure to encounter dark side class 3 entities. I repeat here that these same entities will surely disguise themselves as class 1.

So one may ask “what should we care which class entity we meet?”

A good question. I’m happy you asked.

Aside from if you get really high up, generally meeting a class 1 entity is just fine. Though in the highest realms you may just encounter some jealous ones, who may say as they did when Moshe (Moses) went way up there. “What is one born of woman (flesh & blood) doing amongst us?” In such a case you need to have good answer ready & the wherewithal to spout it on time, or run quick to hold on to the Holy Throne of HaShem, or be escorted by Matat (the “prime minister” of the angels), or get out fast. Other than that no one there will seek to harm you if you are “clean”.

There are also those up there that will consider it severe brazen audacity of a mere human to try to contact high spiritual beings & will just slap you down if you are not clean & mentally ready.

If you go high up you must also be mentally/psychologically/faith-wise be ready so as not to be harmed as did the 3 comrades of Rabbi Akivah when the 4 of them went on a journey into the “Pardeis”, a high spiritual realm. One went insane from the intensity there, another died because his soul was so enraptured by immense spiritual beauty he saw/felt that it decided to stay there, the 3rd who, though highly intelligent & well studied, secretly was already not so strong in his faith left it altogether became a full fledged epikoris apostate.

Rabbi Akivah entered whole & came out whole. He was at peace with full Emunah-faith etc so nothing he saw there confounded him.

Class 2 & 3 entities while donning very good disguises to seem like class 1, will be able to give the channeler information e.g. predictions, but only for up to 1 month ahead, no more than that. The information given is also most likely to be not entirely correct, if at all, The 1st few answers given will likely be correct so as to lure the channeler to return for more & more. However what the victim human usually does not know is that he/she is slowly bit by bit being nibbled on, or “marked” to eventually be gobbled up,  and /or made sick physically or mentally/emotionally & killed.

That should give you sufficient information to understand the great need for caution & being in proper ritual/spiritual condition.

The safest method for the general public is simple “one on one” discussion with HaShem”. Go anywhere where you can chat freely undisturbed unheard by others & open a conversation with Him. He is always ready to hear you. You might just also get some answers.

With HaShem’s loving grace and by instruction of our spiritual guides this blog is beginning its task of bringing more light of HaShem to the world. This blog is intended for worldwide general public; for non-Jews to be Bnei Noahh (Noahhides) loyal to the covenant our Creator made with Noahh after the Great Deluge, and for Bnei Yisrael-Jews to be loyal to the covenant HE made with this nation at Mount Sinai during the Exodus trek from Egyptian bondage.

Had I not been instructed to do so by my rabbis, I would not have had the prideful arrogance to do this on my own initiative.

Part of our goal is to awaken, guide - instruct people to desire, seek, make effort for and to achieve a personal real connection with HaShem. Another part of our aim is to wake people up to truths that others may be too soft to say, to harsh to be acceptable, or too off the wall or head into the wall to be in the realm of truth. I warn everyone, I do not intend to offend anyone yet along with that I will not be “PC” - politically correct.

Here I must point out that in no way do I claim to be the sole bearer of HaShem’s truth, far from that. I am merely a pipeline for truth that has been taught to me by my human masters/guides and via my meditations as taught me by those masters/guides.

**

Regarding masters, guides, and messages from meditation will, with HIS help, be touched upon in a soon to be published page. It is of utmost importance that this matter be explained for many people make mistakes that eventually endanger them.

For I invite you to return soon for more posts. Questions & comments are invited; though keep it clean & polite.
