Collaging Realities
The Messianic Shofer
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 shofer 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.

Conceiving a Child
Every
child that is conceived is a holy partnership of
the father, the mother and G-d,
which brings
a unique soul into the
physical body and transforms
the animal sexual act into a
gateway to transcendence.

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.
