Collaging Realities



 
 The Messianic Shofer

Messianic Ram

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

Birthpangs of \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

Conception

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

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

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.
