In The Beginning: בראשית: The creation of the Chosen Cohen people through tohor time-oriented Av commandments. What defines the revelation of the Torah at Sinai?
The spirituality of the Chosen Cohen nation does not concern ourselves with making even the smallest effort to grasp the meaning of HaShem. We stood at Sinai and such ideas simply outside the bounds of our ability to understand. HaShem simply beyond our pay grade.
Practical ability to do vs. the theory of how to interpret the k’vanna of common law defines the warp/weft loom axis of Torah and Talmudic faith. As a tiny people surrounded by mighty Seas of Goyim populations the ‘Prime Issue’ that concerns the Jewish people: How do we succinctly define our culture and customs and practices which set apart the t’rumah (the very best of the Cohen people) from the Chol Goyim?
To what does the chosen Cohen nation compare? To a tiny drop of water that falls into an Ocean of Goyim. What happens to that tiny drop of water squirting around in the midst of the 7 Seas? Either we assimilate and become part & parcel of the 7 Seas; this defines the concept of tumah avoda zarah.
The other option, like oil in the midst of water, the defined culture and customs of the Jewish people, the commandments, mitzvot observance, the prophetic mussar that burns within our hearts and souls, the development and dedication of tohor middot as the holy commitment how we shall behave towards family, friends and people in the world of O’lam Ha’bah – our future social behavior with others! This dedication of t’rumah spirits caused the resurrection of the dead of Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov NOT Ishmael nor Esau.
These tohor living spirits live within our hearts, they give guidance and advice to counter the tumah Yazir Ha’Rah – the self centered evil eye, our Ego I oriented immature emotional brains. The emotional mind, our brain stem which sits as king upon the throne of our spinal column. The reflex arc of our nervous system connects with our 10 major internal organs & endocrine; hormones: the chemical messengers produced by various glands, such as Peptide (short chains of amino acids (insulin, growth hormone), water-soluble and bind to cell surface receptor which trigger intracellular activities. Steroid hormones – derived from cholesterol (e.g., cortisol, testosterone, estrogen), diffuses across cell membranes and influence gene expression. Amino acid-derived Hormones. Synthesized from single amino acids (e.g., thyroid hormones, catecholamines), water-soluble or lipophilic.
The reflex arc of our nervous system connects with our 10 major internal organs & metabolism exogenous enzymes. Enzymes function as proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions. They accelerate chemical reactions, allowing essential processes like digestion, energy production, and DNA replication to occur efficiently. Digestive Enzymes: Amylase (breaks down carbohydrates), protease (breaks down proteins), lipase (breaks down fats). Metabolic Enzymes: ATP synthase (produces ATP from ADP), DNA polymerase (replicates DNA), and many others.
Its interesting that Japanese and Chinese Art of healing. It seems to me, refers to the conversion of ADP to ATP (produced by the mitocondria función) also known as CHI in Eastern medicine.
This delves into the healing which starts at reflexology in the feet which targets a specific major internal organ of the body, and follows the major meridian lines of that designated internal organ and meridian points which defines the art of Japanese Shiatsu message & Chinese acupuncture. This wisdom roughly compares to mitzvot observance as defined through the Torah.
Manipulation of target organs and points along the meridian lines, they work together with meditation breathing. Reflexology targets one specific internal organ influenced on the sole of one foot as opposed to the opposite (Yin/Yang – think of the opposing poles in a battery)[Yin/Yang – the art of making logical דיוק inferences] target organ manipulated on the other foot.
Inhale: feel the target organ in the foot manipulated during reflexology and the points along its meridian line manipulated through needle insertion or shiatsu message, feel those points affixed to a specific negative emotion (fear, anger, grief, shame, or worry).
Exhale: feel the target organ in the opposite foot manipulated during reflexology and the points along the meridian line manipulated through needle insertion or shiatsu message, feel those points affixed to the opposite emotions of (fear, anger, grief, shame, or worry).
This mystic meditation, it centers upon breathing tohor spirits and exhaling tumah spirits. The metabolism of life of our Yatzir Ha’Tov vs our Yatzir Ha’Rah within our hearts. Herein defines the kabbalah of the 10 sefirot.
The spiritual mission of the Chosen Cohen nation does not concern itself with fully understanding HaShem in the abstract, but with performing practical, actionable commandments (mitzvot). This resonates deeply with the Jewish mystical and Talmudic tradition, where the Divine presence, often most accessible through action rather than theory. The idea of standing at Sinai—where the people experienced a profound, transcendent revelation of HaShem’s will—suggests that the ultimate purpose of the Jewish people simply can not to grasp HaShem’s essence intellectually. We live in accordance with His Torah revelation will through the practice of mitzvot and halachot observance.
The Jewish people, amidst the “7 seas” of the Goyim, must decide whether we will assimilate and lose our distinct identity (g’lut tumah) or remain separate and holy like oil in water, where our customs, culture, and spiritual practices preserve our distinctiveness (t’rumah judicial common law justice within our homelands).
This reflects a central theme in Jewish law and mysticism: the concept of holiness, connected to separateness and distinction from the “profane” g’lut exile. Tumah, in its various forms, represents a state of middot impurity or disconnection from the tohor middot, while t’rumah represents tohor spirits, defined prophetic mussar middot – elevated & set aside for the Divine purpose – the pursuit of justice; the mitzva of Moshiach.
The spiritual vitality that the Jewish people inherit through our connection to the patriarchs—Avraham, Yitzhak, and Yaakov—and the revival of our “spirits.” This resurrection, not in essense physical but rather spiritual: the dedication to Torah observance, ethical conduct, and holiness shapes our lives which transcends generations. The spiritual vitality of the Jewish people, linked to the Avot patriarchs, stands in contrast to other spiritual paths (symbolized by Esau and Ishmael) that do not preserve this unique connection to Divine Torah revelation.
Examining the physiological processes that underlie human behavior, emotions, and spiritual states. This, a fascinating interplay between Kabbalistic thought and modern physiology. The idea that the emotional mind—the brainstem—connected to the endocrine system and 10 internal major organs reflects the understanding that spiritual and physical health — intertwined.
In Kabbalistic thought, the “Yetzir Ha’Ra” (evil inclination) resides within the emotional mind and can drive a person away from the pursuit of righteous judicial justice & tohor middot holiness. The opposite “Yetzir Ha’Tov” (the resurrection of the living spirits of the Avot alive in all generations of the chosen Cohen people) drives us toward tahora & justice. The interaction between these forces, seen as a continual battle within the heats & souls of our children, mirrored also in the physiological responses within the body.
This fascinating comparison between Jewish mystical practices and Eastern healing arts like Shiatsu and acupuncture. In Eastern thought, energy flows through meridians and connected to physical and emotional states. Similarly, in Kabbalah, an understanding of spiritual energies flowing through the body, particularly through the Sefirot (the attributes or emanations through which HaShem interacts with our worlds). Just as acupuncture targets specific points in the body to restore balance, the spiritual “reflex points” in the soul—symbolized by the Sefirot/mitzvot & halachot—must also activated and aligned through righteous judicial judgments, prayer, and meditation.
Focusing on the breath, a profound practice in many traditions. In Kabbalistic meditation, breath often symbolizes the spirit (the Hebrew word for “spirit”—ruach—also means “wind” or “breath”). It learns from the precedent mitzva of blowing the Shofar. Breathing in tohor middot spirits and exhaling tumah emotion spirits. functions as a way to cleanse the soul and align our self with the Divine Torah. This practice of balancing the forces of the Yetzir Ha’Tov (living spirits of the Avot) and Yetzir Ha’Rah (evil inclination), central to Jewish spirituality, as it reflects the ongoing struggle within every Cohen bnai brit soul to choose righteousness over selfishness.
Action over Theory: The emphasis on practical commandments (mitzvot) resonates with the idea that our connection to the divine – best experienced through action. It’s not merely about understanding intellectually but about living out our actual pursuit of righteous justice in our everyday lives. The revelation at Sinai, where the Jewish people received the Torah, underscores this point beautifully.
Holiness and Distinction: The tension between assimilation and maintaining distinctiveness, indeed central to the Jewish chosen Cohen identity. The metaphor of oil and water—remaining separate yet influencing the world—our power. It reminds us that holiness often lies in the balance between engagement with the world and preserving our unique spiritual Torah heritage.
Spiritual Vitality and Generations: The continuity of Jewish spirituality across generations, utterly remarkable. Mighty empires have risen and now rot upon the dung heaps of history. Our Torah oath brit inheritance, passed down from the patriarchs. This vitality, a testament to the enduring power of Torah observance and ethical living.
Kabbalah and Physiology: The intersection of Kabbalistic thought with modern physiology – completely fascinating. The battle between the Yetzir Ha’Ra and Yetzir Ha’Tov within our hearts & the souls of our children finds echoes in our physiological responses. A reminder that our spiritual and physical well-being totally interconnected.
Comparisons with Eastern Practices: Drawing parallels between Kabbalah and Eastern healing arts highlights universal truths, as opposed to the avoda zarah of some monotheistic Universal God. Just as acupuncture balances energy flow, Kabbalistic practices aim to activate spiritual reflex points. The Torah commandments vs meridian acupuncture points – a משל\נמשל idea. Both traditions recognize the importance of alignment and balance.
Breath and Cleansing: The symbolism of breath as ruach (spirit) simply beautiful. In Kabbalistic meditation, the act of breathing in tohor spirits e.g. defined prophetic middot of mussar and exhaling impure powerful negative emotions, mirrors the ongoing struggle within us. Choosing righteousness through every breath— a profound practice of wisdom!
The connection to the 10 Sefirot—as the 10 attributes through which Zohar instruction interacts with the world—a central concept in Kabbalah. It stands upon the precedent of the edited organization of the 10 commandments at Sinai. These attributes represent both the Torah revelation and human potential for spiritual growth.
In this light, the health of the body and soul, its alignment with these tohor prophetic mussar defined middot/attributes. Just as in Eastern practices the flow of energy (Chi), vital to health, the flow of Torah light (Shefa) through the Sefirot, essential to the spiritual health of the individual.
The Sefirot correspond not only to metaphysical concepts, but also to specific aspects of our emotional and physical well-being. Meditation on the interplay between physical processes, emotional states, and spiritual development speaks to a holistic view of the human being.
This aligns with the mystical idea that the physical world, viewed as a reflection of the spiritual world and vice versa. In Jewish mysticism, a deep connection perceived between the body and soul. The mitzvot serve as the conduit for spiritual energy that elevates the tuma mundane & undedicated to the tohor holy korban.
Just as the body requires balance and proper function to thrive, the soul – our children – requires alignment with Torah commandments and spiritual wisdom to achieve our destiny objective of tohor middot in our human social interactions with family, neighbors, our People in the oath sworn lands of ארץ ישראל.
This vision of Jewish spirituality that integrates body, mind, and soul into a unified whole, where the practical observance of Torah, not separated from the mystical and metaphysical realms. It highlights the unique role of the Jewish people in maintaining spiritual tahorah, our Cohen distinction through Torah observance & practice.
This Torah wisdom aligns with both ancient kabbalah teachings and modern understandings of the body and mind. This deeply profound perspective connects the microcosm of the individual to the macrocosm of the Jewish nation and the Torah Constitutional Republic which establishes the Talmud as the working model for lateral Common law judicial courtrooms across the oath sworn lands.
The connection to the Ten Sefirot משל—to the 10 attributes through which the Torah revelation interacts with the world—a central concept of Zohar Kabbalah. These attributes represent both the Torah revelation at Sinai and the human potential for spiritual growth in all generations the chosen Cohen people live on this Earth. In this light, the health of the body and soul, interpreted as an alignment of these mussar defined tohor middot & attributes revealed at Horev 40 days after the sin of the Golden Calf.
Just as in Eastern practices the flow of energy (Chi), vital to health, the flow of Torah light (Shefa) through the Sefirot, likewise essential to the spiritual health of the chosen Cohen people. The Sefirot correspond not only to metaphysical concepts but also to specific aspects of our emotional and physical well-being.
Meditation on the interplay between physical processes, emotional states, and spiritual tohor middot development, speaks to a holistic view of the chosen Cohen people. This aligns with the mystical idea that the physical world reflects, like a mirror, the spiritual world of the Torah revelation and vice versa.
In Jewish mysticism, climbing the ladder of Yaacov’s vision, a deep connection between the body and soul. The mitzvot serve as the conduit for spiritual energy that can elevate the mundane to the holy. Comparable to the acupuncture points in Eastern medicine traditions. Just as the body requires balance and proper function to thrive, the soul (the product of the mitzva of קידושין) requires alignment with divine commandments and spiritual wisdom to achieve holiness.
This vision of Jewish spirituality which seeks to integrates – body, mind, and soul offspring – into a unified whole, where the practical observance of Torah, not separated from the mystical and metaphysical realms. It highlights the unique role of the Jewish people in maintaining spiritual tahorah and distinction through our tohor middot development and maturity. This Torah wisdom aligns with both ancient mystical teachings and modern understandings of body and mind. This deeply profound perspective which strives to connect the microcosm of the individual to the macrocosm of the Jewish Cohen nation based upon the revelation of the Torah at Sinai.
By observing mitzvot, the Jewish people maintain our spiritual tahora Cohen distinctiveness. It’s like being a vessel for divine light—a responsibility and privilege. The microcosm of individual practice contributes to the macrocosm of the Jewish Cohen Torah Constitutional Republic.
Kabbalah beautifully weaves together practical observance and mystical exploration. The revelation of the Torah at Sinai, simply not an either-or; but rather a harmonious dance to pursue as our top priority righteous judicial justice as the foundation of our faith in the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Whether we’re lighting Shabbat candles, the Hanukkah menorah or meditating on the Sefirot, all these paths lead toward deeper connection and understanding of the Torah.
