In the last Nugget I suggest that we think about how the Torah is similar to the US Constitution. They both are a product of a dream. Our founding fathers wanted a government that was by the people and for the people. They created the Declaration of Independence as a demonstration of their intent.
The Torah was started by a “thought of creation”, in a sense a dream, of the Creator. From that the Written Torah was developed. Mind you the Torah is typically thought of as “The Law”. This cannot be true since most of Torah is sharing of events and anecdotes to teach principals that are deeper than mere words on the page. Thus the focus of Torah is not on the words and definitely not on the rules it presents. Rather they are on the deep truths. I have often stated that we are to read between the lines but not forget the lines either.
So in a real sense we are using a two prong approach in our study and search for the “thought of creation”. One prong is working from our lower soul up to the upper soul, that by peering between the lines of Torah. This will enlighten us to what is the “thought of creation” and permit us to draw nearer and nearer to it. The other prong is from the “top-down”. The Torah is a door to that upper soul we are looking to connect with. As we gradually discover the “thought of creation” a download process will take place from the upper soul down to the lower soul via that door. We can say through this connection the “thought of creation” will create a self correcting feedback loop via our efforts. Thus Kabbalah is not a stab in the dark for a moving target. Rather it is a scientific approach to a fixed point - Keter.
In the last paragraph a lot of thought is required to in order absorb what is being said. Please take the time and contemplate it.
