speak of freedom,

Corpus Mammon, spiritual mitosis
split residence,
no reverence - lost recognition
tree from the other side

What has me considering

Ethical. Rational. Challenging, makes demands. For life. Trains one to garden. Interact with it, face to face [all was created through Torah].



Establish courts of justice. Beginning by one self.
That one does not have other gods, does not mean one must have G-d. Understand it in the language of man today, that there is an underlying in the universe that all of the world rests on and through. Instructions are to keep mind and deed, and being, in accordance with this continuum of unfolding creation, the abundant with-flowing of all and all. (Weaving negentropy over entropic dissolution and cutting ties).
This demands one to -- in the noble respects of the term -- be an anarchist. Thus, to study the highest aspects of reality and imagination(/creation), work at their harmonization (realization of unity), that is, practice and study. (is this where non-Israel largely is: to study and then to practice? - the principle therein is largely to inform oneself from what is observable. Imagination comes from outside [hence why so many give themselves up for the material]). To be an anarchist, then, is to be on the side of life; to be informed, in-formed, formed in [...] life, inspired, with the vital breath(ing). There is one crown that anarchists can legitimately (non-contradictorily) wear, and that is the crown of service to life, which creates a continuum of byeaurrning upliftment, beautiful resonance. Once the principle is unveiling within us, then these courts that one extends through may also begin to be realized,
It is little surprise, if any, that in a world wherein the zeitgeist is such that emphasis is placed on the visual and external (what is evident, clear), that the archons faced are those outside of us, largely in the form of other humans, or relationships. The matter is, what is problematic about other humans, is something existent in multiple forms within the larger being that is human (beyond any individual), that could and does exist, at times unacknowledged, in us. The inner archons have not been exorcised, but our perception towards them has been informed by externalized vision.

For Tikkun Olam, even in the more secular sense. Yet, in the sense of 358 and seven days, year after year, of the footsteps of moshiach placing the heel on the head of the nachash, at least while it is striking.

Post Echad

"Shema Yisrael, Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad."

The more and more I study Torah, the more and more this is an apparent and foundational principle, upon which all is -- nothing can do without this.

"G-d and His Torah are one."
Creation is of it. ["one man with one heart."]
Revelation is of it. ["one man with one heart."]
Redemption is of it. ["one man with one heart."]

Though the sake of Rashi's quote may be evident with Matan Torah, and Israel's encampment, and Geulah, through teshuvah, mitzvot & Tikkun Olam and their effects with the body of Adam Kadmon, one might wonder how Maase Bereishit and "one man with one heart" similarly relate, however.
In Torah, Bereishit is in the beginning, and the ends is Israel. This is the heart of the matter: LeV. 32. The number of sephirot and otiot. The number of teeth in a mouth. Lev is in the mouth, do we share it or tear it and eat it? Is there unity, or annihilation? Bereishit stems from the Beit, which lies in the place of His peh. And His words are united with His heart. Beit are black words on white fire, the peh, the nistar that becomes nigleh. "Hashem, Torah, and Israel are one." In respect to the Creator, we are as one creature. And He calls out to us. VayiQRA. For sacrifice. QoRBan. Call and response. A&B. It calls for giving up at least our material, vegetative, and animal layers. Maybe even our human. To be a living being. A speaking spirit. Breathed from the depths. He desires a dwelling place below, and Bereishit is the consequence. If taking out of Egypt is greater than creation, it is also the case that there is a Geulah greater than that which is from Mitzrayim. Matan Torah was permitted by the unity of Israel. Geulah/Tikkun Olam requires unity of all the nations. With all animals. And vegetation. Minerals. There is an order to the importance of mitzvot. Tzedakah is for Geulah. It is greater to unburden a pack animal, than to load another. Unless it is one's enemies to be loading. But the matter now is, the rags which Moshiach binds himself is of the chomer, and though moshiach is our friend, this Galut burdens even our enemies, whom remain captive to the situation.

Don't get chukkim yet. Never will, from what I'm told.
"Eleh v'eleh - these and these." Of course, the unreasonable and the reasonable, the hidden and the revealed (and further revealed through redemption). Makes sense. In a nonsensical kind of way - kinda non-dual - which Abrahamic follower was it that told me Taoism is aberrant?

And such it is as I stand now, as a goy on one foot, studying towards whichever engagement with Torah shall be for me.
