"Here is the secret of two names combined which are completed by a third and become one again. 'And G-d said Let us make Man.' It is written, 'The secret of the L-rd is to them that fear him.' (Psalm 25:34). That most reverend Elder opened an exposition of this verse by saying '"Simeon Simeon, who is it that said: 'Let us make man?' Who is this Elohim?"' With these words the most reverend Elder vanished before anyone saw him... Truly, now is the time to expound this mystery, because certainly there is here a mystery which hitherto it was not permitted to divulge, but now we perceive that permission is given."
He then proceeded: "We must picture a king who wanted several buildings to be erected, and who had an architect in his service who did nothing save with his consent. The king is the supernal wisdom above, the Central Column being the king below: Elohim is the architect above... and Elohim is also the architect below, being as such the Divine Presence (Shekinah) of the lower world." ~ Zohar, vol. 1, Soncino Press edition
Tzom Kal & Shalom, readers.

ReplyDeleteThis was way deep!! Unbelievable! "B.H"!!
I agree. I've read it over and again. I'm more blown away each time, I think, too. Amazing! The veil is so real and so thick. I believe we are to pray for its removal - even if, and G-d willing, that removal is in part - though I see nothing that indicates that a partial removal must be the case.
ReplyDeleteזה מדהים! המשך לחשוף את המסתורין העתיק של הקב"ה. יברך אדוני
ReplyDelete"we speak of these mysteries in a whisper......"
ReplyDeleteThe Jerusalem Targum of Johathan ben Uziel renders Bereshit 1:27 as follows: "
Gen. 1 [27] So G-d created man in His own Image, in the Image of G-d created He him; male and female created He them.
And the Word [Memra] of the Lord created man in His likeness, in the likeness of the Lord, the Lord created, male and female created He them."
