Collaging Realities
The Messianic Shofar
The ram
that was sacrificed in place of
Isaac was
a special creature designated at the time of Creation.
From it was made one horn or shofar that was heard
at Mount Sinai. The second horn will be heard
at the advent of the Messiah.

The
Birthpangs of the Messiah
The
Messiah is often represented by the
final Mem in the Hebrew alphabet,
which looks like a lid on a three-sided Bais. The Messiah will "put
the lid" on the Bais, which is the first letter of Creation and the
Bible,
closing all four sides into a holy cube of infinite
revelation.

The
Mystery of the Bird's Nest
Perhaps the most bizzare commandment
in the Torah
is the precept to frighten away the
mother bird from the nest, if you want to take
the eggs or goslings, which has nothing to do
with being
"kind" to animals.
According to the Kabbalah, it is a parable
about the Messiah, who
conceals himself
in the Chamber of the Nest,
until the time has come to reveal
himself.

Non-Local
Reality
Since the development of
quantum mechanics
and other "discoveries" of modern physics, our innate
understanding of the objective "physical"
world
has been irrevocably changed.
If an electron can be at two different
places,
simulaneously & unpredictably, how much more so
our infinite
soul can transcend the
limitations of time and space.

The Two Jerusalems: A
Diptych
The Midrash
teaches us that hovering over
the physical and mundane physical city of Jerusalem
is the vision of the Supernal City which
awaits
for the auspicious moment
when it can descend and illuminate the world.
