He Did It!
Ancient measurements were expressed in cubits, and there’s not widespread agreement about a cubit’s actual length; but actual length is irrelevant because the study was advanced not by numbers, but by ratios.
An inch is an inch and a cubit is a cubit, but both are closed-system measurements. A tenth of an inch is equal to a tenth of a cubit, not in length but by scale. Drawing the same schematics side by side in each scale would produce the exact same image, except for scale.
When Adam Kadmon is drawn with the ratios of Noah’s Ark, confusion about the imagery of Torah is mitigated, and it becomes clear that the prophets were guided by the wisdom given Noah as they performed their several vocations.
The Shield of David is formed by four Adam Kadmons when the two vertical symbols of the Tree of Life begin at the uppermost and lowermost equilateral triangles, the one going upwards; the other, downwards. And when their lines are extended, the two horizontal trees are formed by following the logic of the Mogan David until the full Crown Diamond appears.
From the beginning of scripture two related narratives progress side by side. The narrative of the individual believer, and the narrative of a kingdom of believers. The vertical Trees of Life pertain to the individual and HaShem. The horizontal Trees pertain to HaShem and his kingdom. The vertical pair is the Tree of Life. The horizontal pair is the Tree of Knowledge.
Avram was called to walk in the name Avraham, and we have entered into his labors; and of his sons, Isaac was chosen. Ya’akov was beloved; and his mistreated son Yosef warranted HaShem’s protection in Miraim, where he earned a double portion.
Moshe was the Name’s reflection; Yahuchanan, its messenger; Y’shua, its anointed. Mohamed was sent to restore focus after Essene leadership was usurped by the Roman Empire, of which Y’shua warned, saying he had nothing to do with the coming world power. And, today, all we who follow part the holy garments of all these great men among ourselves.
How is it that such great progress was followed by such great backsliding? In all cases, however, a remnant has been preserved, which points to a force operating separately on two levels, the right hand not knowing what the left is doing. I see the hand of HaShem holding the mystery of iniquity at bay while his children are being born. Y’shua, declared, “If you had seen me, you had seen the father, also: I and the father are one.”
I also stand with the prophet Mohamed, who had the audacity to say, after binding his followers to every word of Torah and the Gospels, that God has no son or any component before or beyond formless spirit, itself; for Allah is Allah. Had he used HaShem’s name instead of his title, he was very close to being an orthodox Jew.
When I first read, “I am hwhy, and I see no other,” it struck me as a kind of boast, but now it resonates in my heart as a humble statement of fact. hla is la.
There is a tradition that says, if HaShem had engaged created realms directly, they would have vaporized. I don’t reject that idea, because the mildly awesome energies with which man is familiar are daunting.
For example, electrical energies derive great magic from techniques of transformation, by which they achieve dynamic variations in potency, with the result that some charges can barely be traced by instrumentation, whereas others are so powerful that wiring the wrong charge into improper circuitry can have profoundly explosive effects.
Electrical energies are modest by creation’s standards, and they require modulation to be useful, which offers insight for the reason HaShem required the service of a Light Bearer, a divine Lamp, whose purpose was to project the Light of la within and upon the darkness of creation at magnitudes creation could bear, enlightening its expanses within the greater firmament while reserving vestiges of light for use elsewhere, all of whose amplitudes are, have been, or will be transformed in accordance with service of times that have passed or that have yet to unfold within creation.
The colossal scale of the eternal realm, in contrast to the merely vast dimensions of temporal realms, required an intermediary with the ability to bridge gaps— one that could bear the modulations of spirit, which generate the heat of divine fire, manifested as energy that spirit releases as light, whose spectrum is capable of absorption into denser matter with differing forms and functions— all because of the drag of iniquity.
Matter would enable the utilization of divine energies, all of these stages extending from the eternal as strings of spirit that are supportive of life. These functions were the among he services performed by the Name’s projection, the covering cherub called the Light Bearer.
