BOOK
Devarim - Words
A story for a new generation, with which we create a new partzuf (spiritual face, level), which in this case means lifting everything from the previous desert levels. With language, we lift and reform the previous stories into a new spiritual face, suitable for entering the promised land.
A new understanding of events and laws needs to be achieved. We are now merging the left pillar with the right.
Devarim is a book of new beginnings.
The first beginning is Beresheet, Shemot begins with the letter vav (va-ele shemot), Vayikra also begins with vav (va-yikra), and so does Bamidbar (va-yidaber). Vav means connection. Devarim begins: Ele hadevarim, without vav. So; a new, independent beginning. However, the narrative returns to Egypt.
The entire book unfolds in 37 days.
We are beginning the Book of Deuteronomy, which is called Devarim, which means words, things the same word also means
words, sayingsThe entire book is Moses' last speech before his death.
In the Christian translation, the book of Devarim is called Deuteronomy, which means the second law.
5 BOOKS OF THE TORAH:
BERESHIT = Keter
SHEMOTH = Chokmah
VAJIKRA = Bina
BAMIDBAR = Zeir Anpin
DEVARIM = Malkuth
Devarim is therefore the book of manifestation.
For a beginner student of Kabbalah, this part will be more interesting on a narrative level than on a deeper spiritual level, as it represents the end of a long period of transformation before entering the promised land.
While reading this parasha, the Kabbalist gains a closer look at spiritual laws. He also experiences 'mini' situations that remind him of the path he has taken. All of this is with the aim of passing on spiritual experience to future generations.
To get started, read this book and perhaps keep a journal of your experiences.
It is important to know that spiritual transformation occurs in levels.
First we are in Egypt, but without the Hebrews yet. So we start the process with Abraham, which then gradually continues to Joseph, with whom the Hebrews come to Egypt.
In Egypt, corruption or slavery occurs, which means exile, a complete break in the bond with the creator, then follows a journey through the desert and then the entrance to the promised land. Humanity as a whole is in exile, in Egypt. Each individual must connect within themselves with a force called Moses. This is the force that leads us out of Egypt and through the desert. We find this force within ourselves, but also outside ourselves. The condition is that we want to get out of comfortable Egypt! Moses, the force within us, leads us through corrections in the desert. To enter the promised land, however, we must find a new force, which is Joshua, Moses' disciple.
ZAVEST OPAZOVALCA
Sorodno z ugotovitvami kvantne fizike je realnost, ki se nam slika, odvisna od naše zavesti. V kabali pravimo, da ni sveta zunaj nas, zunaj je le svetloba. Znotraj nas pa so svetovi. Svet, olam v hebrejščini, pomeni zakritje svetlobe. Gre za spiritualne nivoje, ki so v nas. Proaktivno s pripovedjo svojih lastnih doživetji in s pozitivnim tonom lahko poustvarjamo in tako omogočimo napredovanje.
Ta paraša, kot celotna knjiga Devarim, je lepa priložnost, da se zavedamo moči naših reči, naših besed. Reči - stvari, zadeve- postanejo takšne, kot so naše besede, reči.
V SVOJIH BESEDAH
Tudi prve štiri knjige Tore je napisal Mojzes, a z besedami, ki jih je slišal neposredno od kreatorja. Devarim pa so njegove lastne besede. Prve štiri knjige so torej "od zgoraj navzdol" in so na nek način duhovno višje, a če razumemo, da je peta knjiga, naše (Mojzesovo) razumevanje prejšnjih, potem je ta nivo lahko višji, če ga jemljemo kot tešuvo.
Subjektivna interpretacija Tore v kontekstu tešuve je torej pogoj za vstop v obljubljeno deželo. Vendar ta subjektivnost mora imeti predhodnika v direktni vezi s kreatorjem.
V praktičnem smislu je pomembno imeti predhodno, popolno izkušnjo štirih knjig, če hočemo ob peti opraviti tešuvo = vstopiti v obljubljeno deželo.
