Stepping out of the Comfort Zone 6

We introduced the Ten Sefirot last week and explained the three columns and their meaning. The diagram of the Ten Sefirot and the meanings we are using can be found on our Blog site by using this link,
http://thelightinchristministry.blogspot.com/. This week we are going to discus the aspects of the separation between the Upper 5 Sefirot and the Lower 5 Sefirot. These aspects are taught as the Upper Kingdom and the Lower Kingdom.

To start with this explanation we need to evaluate the Garden of Eden, prior to Adam and Eve eating the fruit of the Tree of Good and Evil. When Adonai created the earth, these two worlds were combined; Physical and Spiritual were as one. We can explain it this way, Adams mind was able to be in both the Spiritual realm and the Physical realm at the same time. This meaning he was able to maintain 50% in the Physical world and 50% in the Spiritual world.

It is explained in Jewish Mystical teachings that today we live in the 99% Physical world and 1% Spiritual world. The keys to the Ten Sefirot are for one to use these tools to achieve a greater percentage in the Spiritual thereby reducing the amount in the Physical.

It is our observations of Jesus that he walked in this reality of 50% - 50%. In order to illustrate so you may understand our though process, we have chosen three different Scriptures. Let us look at Matthew 3:17, Matthew 17:2 and the third is Acts 9:3. In the first 2 of these Scriptures Jesus is still living in the Physical world, the area of the bottom 5 Sefirot. The first is where he is baptized by John and the second is on the Mount of Transfiguration. In both of these instances we see the Light of the Or Haganuz while in both of these situations there are no stories of this Light blinding any who were present. Much like when the people of Israel were in the desert and Adonai came to them in a cloud to give them the Torah at Mt. Sinai. Now to the third situation, Jesus had been put to death and had risen to the 5 Upper levels of the Sefirot, he was living in the 99% Spiritual and 1% Physical at this time, he meets Saul on the Road to Damascus and the Light projected from the Or Haganuz is so great it blinds him. The point in this illustration is that the best we can ever hope to achieve in our Physical existence is to strive to achieve a 50% - 50% mix between the spiritual and the Physical. It is only when our Soul returns to the 99% Spiritual and the 1% Physical do we really achieve the full Light of the Or Haganuz.

Have you ever stopped to look at the little child after their birth? Did you ever wonder what there were thinking when they came into the light, and out of the womb?

Jesus speaks Blessed are the little Children for they are the Kingdom of God. Most theologians try to explain this by saying they are our further. To a Mystical Jew this has a very different meaning. When we are born we are the closet to the Kingdom. What is meant here is they are still more in the spiritual than the physical, they still maintain that connection with the upper parts of the Ten Sefirot. The sad part of all this is as we grow we parents try to bring them into reality by telling them that there imaginary friends are not real, and what they see and feel is wrong.

In reading about the life of Edgar Cayce as a child he could place a school book under his pillow at night before he went to sleep and in the morning had the knowledge of all that was in that book.

We live in the Physical world so we try to explain these things in terms of the Physical aspects of what we can see, touch and feel. If something comes along which is beyond those senses we claim it to be a miracle of God. Did you ever stop to think that these are not Miracles, but how Adonai created the universe to be?
