Smallest Bang: A Sequential Male-Development Baseline

Parallel Parsing Torat-Moshe from BiologicalTWO-initially’ (בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית), rather than CosmologicalAt-beginning’ → ‘reveals’ modestly expressed strict-sequential life-analogous descriptions: familiar & accessible when Internally-Experienced vicariously; wherein Names (people & places) are ‘clinical/attribute’ Descriptions, while numbers & units convey ‘perceptual/emotional’ Significance Aspects.

Egalitarian Sustainability Notice

All Women: Free Entrance -albeit- Men: PG-40 – ‘Restricted’

WARNING: MPAA film rating notation PG Has Been Modified To Put Under Age 40 – Jewish Men – On Notice: Should you be Disturbed by any instant or developing element herein, THEN It Is Imperative that the sparks of Our Ancestors and/or Your concerned Guardian ‘Wife’ direct Your eyes from This Text, And direct Your hands To Close This “Book” Your having already contemplated more than you can Presently understand! Not unlike when an accompanying Parent, seeing their child Disturbed by some cinematic element, may Most-Wisely elect to ‘SACRIFICE’ the Price of admission, and EXIT the theater Accompanied by said child.

Pragmatic prerequisites for entering our initial-adult vantage include appreciating & actualizing ‘Best Life Practices Advice’ enhanced Mitzvot (Halacha from traditional External holistically analyzed & commentary resolved Torat-Moshe) -and- (if male) having completed a preponderance of maturation life-cycle events: including marriage, progressive marital harmony, and multi-progeny parenting → thus allowing one to recognise selected Torat-Moshe fragments as a male-developmental baseline pseudo-Diary (template) of one-person; often expressing (or alluding to) more detail than our deep-memories of similar personal episodes.

Hereinafter begins my comment-sparse translation of the first four ‘DAYS’ – trying to parallel the ultra-terse Torat-Moshe language – while extracting substantially equivalent aspects from Human embryology. Being in no way capable of ‘capturing’ most proper physiological detail – a Medically Qualified Professional summarized: The first six WEEKS of cellular differentiation in the human zygote are characterized by rapid cell division & specialization, culminating in the formation of distinct tissues & organs. During this period, the zygote undergoes cleavage, gastrulation, and early organogenesis.

Now – Practical Advice for the Reader: While slowly contemplating each clause of my quasi-parallel ‘biological’ word-for-word transcription → ‘consult’ any-of-many clinical descriptions (appreciating such texts use various differing time-interval measurement to count from conception) -and- validate-compare with the ‘authentic’ Hebrew (and ‘standard-traditional’ English – if necessary) .

Notation: >Bereshis< (chapter.sentence)

(1.1) TWO-initially [2→1]:Conceive (You: a something-from-nothings person-world) ‘Naturally’; of exemplary – Above the visual horizon (Mind) and of exemplary Infrastructure thereto. (1.2) And that infrastructure as-it-was recursively formless of sensory-null threshold; and holographic forces of Nature pause for the maternal-environment response. (1.3) As-IF Nature dictates “Ignite spark-of-life to-be!”; to wit Nature fairly responds with that spark. (1.4) Thus Naturally: an exemplary metastable entropy gradient; meandering among semi-metabolic processes. (1.5) Which to-it naturally “feels” like an illuminated day and a quiesced night; (although actually cellular differentiation of) ONE WEEK. (1.6) Articulates Nature “A sac of enclosure to-be” insulating between the cell-cluster and their maternal. (1.7) So subsequently is a formation generating that very robust membrane of separation (an amniotic-sac environment); just so. (1.8) Which to-it naturally as-if The Heavenly expanse, to wit a day and night (although actually) A SECOND WEEK. (1.9) Naturally the gradient shapes into distinct inner-liquid cellular-tube beneath Mind-space; just so. (1.10) Which to-it naturally as-if an infrastructure of the neuro-circulatory fluid; seemingly viable-sustainable. (1.11) Then can cellular infrastructure differentiate into replicating smooth, striated, and branching cells; just so. (1.12) And infrastructure flourishes accordingly with replicating smooth, striated, and branching cells; just so. (1.13) to wit a day and night (although actually) A THIRD WEEK. (1.14) Behold: an enlightening neurological structure within the cellular-tube Mind-space having differential time-delay aspects; layering to resolve high, diurnal, and ultra-low frequency rhythms. (1.15) As they were eye-centers in the above visual horizon Mind-space responsive to regulate the infrastructure; just so. (1.16) Activated, said neurological structure divided into two distinct albeit integrated masses; a larger brain for “control” during waking active days and a smaller brain for autonomic nights, and “countless” end-points – sparsely distributed throughout the infrastructure. (1.17) Thus, these neurological structures (at this stage of development) comprise the “awareness” interface between a new membrane of separation (the blood-brain encapsulation); to enliven the infrastructure. (1.18) And to refine those differential time delay aspects; thus activating those frequencies into self-regulating biorhythms. (1.19) to wit a day and night (although actually) A FOURTH WEEK.

While cellular differentiation continues for 6-weeks (42-days) – corresponding to 6-creation days of Torat-Moshe → the Zohar designates: gender is determined at 40-days -ALSO- immediately preceding completing these 6-days (6-weeks) ⇒ 10-instantiations (listed in Pirkei Avot 5.6) relate to emerging physiological functions, neurological foci, and developmental events; B”H to be elaborated elsewhere. 

-Jumping to (2.10)- By 7-weeks, even a ‘Late Bronze Age’ Egyptian anatomist recognises a human form ‘Adam the-First’ (about 8mm ‘tall’) → now sentient & conscious, the embryo begins awareness discovery along its own (Eden) centerline: from Tree of Knowledge (top) to the four rivers which water & refresh sensory organs: eyes-tears, ears-cerumen, nose-mucus, and mouth-saliva; (continuing downward) discovering then contemplating surprising thorax asymmetry (calling smaller organs unto left-rib boundary ‘female’ -and- relatively enormous liver-filling right-side ‘male’); then confronting a most subtle creature (not snake – rather umbilical chord) requiring imprinting the First Survival Instinct (to keep it under foot >!< rather than risk choking – enwrapping the neck) – all the while contemplating tactile dead-skin ‘clothing’ (a body out-of-body differentials!); eventually (at bottom) the Tree of Life (genitalia – the far-future gateway to immortality). (3.21)

Transformational KEYS: Regarding numbers of years (in Parshat Bereshis) – since Tehillim/Psalms (90.4) portrays an external day as a thousand years, internally the embryo/fetus perceives the inverse – thus (for example) Adam the-First’s 930-year longevity is clinically 930/1000 parts of a day (22.32 Hours) ⇒ since embryo/fetus parts are ‘maturing’ simultaneously, many such durations are progressing independently and/or with mutual dependencies; while People & Place Names must be parsed to decipher clinical aspects of prenatal neuro-associative areas regarding verbal & nonverbal intelligence, aptitudes, sensitivities, emotions, etc.; THUS the concept ‘Death’ relates to subsequent inability to return to some consciousness orientation – while the expression ‘having sons and/or daughters’ relates to expanding neuro-plasticity regions, neuro-sensory associative areas, etc. Do the numerous prenatal references to ‘male and/or female’ correspond to pre-sympathetic & pre-parasympathetic neural aspects (?); maybe! Trying to Re-Live partial-psychological embryo/fetus attitude ‘macro-aspects’ → and many later orientations are occasionally accessible ℅  https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/personalizing-tzimtzum-tikun-olam-and-tefillah/

Now, however peculiar it is to empathetically experience embryo/fetus awareness/consciousness development, a rebirthing memory/experience is somewhat ‘cloudy’ since there is/was an indeterminate interval between maternal fetal-blood reoxygenation (via umbilical cord), and reoxygenation via new-born’s breathing; thus substantial fetal brain-fog (from maternal hormones) virtually induces time-sensation dilating fetal-hibernation (hence subsequent ‘drunkenness’ and long post-birth deep-sleep intervals). 

Clinically/Linguistically: (5.29) ‘Noah’ is Rest, (6.9) ‘Shem’ is a Language-centric pre-birth-mind, ‘Ham’ is a cardiovascular pre-birth infrastructure-body (consciousness), ‘Japheth’ is a non-linguistic-centric pre-birth-mind (substantially equal but different from the ‘Shem’ side); the ark is the birthing body – detaching in a Flood from the placenta & womb after-birth mass; ark dimensions internally feel like cubits (albeit externally correspond to finger-breadths); the illuminating apex gem/window (6.16) relates to the cranium fontanelles (unformed cranial-sutures’ soft spots); (8.21) the mother’s sweet smell; (9.16) the ‘bow’ in the heavens is the actively changing lines on the new-born’s forehead – indicating to the Mid-wife: the brain is alive (was not oxygen deprived during the birthing) – thus this new person (world) was not destroyed; (9.22) Ham seeing ‘his father’s nakedness’ euphemistically expresses: the ‘cardiovascular pre-birth infrastructure-body’ saw-felt the mother’s birth canal – while the linguistic-centric & non-linguistic-centric pre-birth-minds were deeply ‘hibernating’ ⇒ thereby degrading infrastructure-body (in perpetuity) as subservient-slave to the co-minds (linguistic & non-linguistic)! 

Clinically, ‘attribute’ Avrum is The (Primal) infant Cry – then (11.27 →17.5) his external week interval [to instantly becoming Avruhum – by circumcision] feels much longer for the ‘inexperienced’ newborn.

(12.1) “as if the mind would articulate to the father of all subsequent states:  leave the infrastructure (the womb), and the place of your birth (the birthcanal) and the house of your father (your mother’s private place) & go to a life-infrastructure that you will perceive…” Responding to the first pangs of hunger (12.10) to return to the physical side of the mother ‘Mitzraim’ (12.15) the mother’s feminine aura ‘Pharaoh’ ⇒ (12.16) ‘sheep, &oxen, &…, &camels’ (צֹאן-וּבָקָר, וַחֲמֹרִים, וַעֲבָדִים וּשְׁפָחֹת, וַאֲתֹנֹת וּגְמַלִּים) as articulated as a Repeating Sequence comprises Latching, Suckling, Breathing <try ‘articulating’ silently – while internally ‘looking’ at your mouth>; (12.17) Nursing ‘action’ induces afterbirth contractions!

(18.20) the great cry (burning in the Diaper ‘area’); Yitzhak is the deep chuckle feeling external-adults experience when looking at the (‘finally’) somewhat active infant; YishmaEl literally is causality awareness – hearing/answering Nature’s call; (21.16) ‘a bow-shot’ distance is the arc of excreted ‘water’ when the little boy is being ‘toilet trained’. 

The offering (sacrifice) of Yitzhak is (another) conflict between two internal (of numerous) personality states – where the newer state (Yitzhak) feels obligated to venerate the older state (Avruhum) in this early childhood Imaginary Episode (which includes countless aspects: the Bronze Age child observes from adult activities) – while the culmination (22.13) is an external observation of the child self-generating a choice (whereas before – the child just jumped from one imaginary construct to another) – THUS it is now worthwhile for parents to seek out a bored-talkative young girl to companion/teach this little boy – albeit there is a dramatic tension in their search, since one worries if maybe the parents are taking on responsibility for a young babysitter rather than finding/solving free time outside of constant parenting childcare.

>BEHOLD< Irrevocable-Irreversable (23.1) Life-attribute Sarah [100*20*7] is 14000 cubic-years; (25.7) Life-attribute Avruhum [100*70*5] is 35000 cubic-years; (25.17) Life-attribute YishmaEl [100*30*7] is 21000 cubic-years >THUS< Life-attributes: Sarah +plus+ YishmaEl =equals= Life-attribute Avruhum!

Yaakov is ‘to pause, ‘to wait’, ‘to contemplate’, ‘to analyse’ -thus- to begin learning/appreciating cause-and-effect -while- Esauv is ‘to do’, ‘to be impulsive’ -thus- Esauv prefers or reverts to childish irresponsibility (from causal outcomes) ⇒ until puberty, the parents educational struggles comprise a constant re-education re-enforcement of the Yaakov maturation – albeit with tolerant intervals for playful Esauv exploration experiences. 

Quantum-Jumping to puberty’s onset: each (tribal/son) name corresponds to a body part → reflected throughout Torat-Moshe in frequent census-taking – sometimes including various clinical-commentary ‘personal’ names and/or ancestries – each such census equivalent to awareness/recording internal thoughts, feelings, orientations, self-conscious assessments, etc.; whereas Reuven is ‘visual-seeing’; Shimon is ‘auditory-hearing’; Levi is ‘olfactory-accompanyment awareness’; Yehuda is ‘oral-articulation’ (preferably expressing gratitude); Yizchar is ‘visceral-digestion’; Zevulin is ‘visceral-extreatment’; Dina is ‘judgement-assessment’ (considering digestive variability – causal aspects); etc.; Yosef is ‘extra-additional’ (being the male body-part); Binyamin (also Ben-Ohni) are legs [like Moav & Bnai-Amon were about crawling]. 

Whereas identical quality yarn was used for warp & weft of cloth-garments for all other body parts, the weft of Yosef’s loin-cloth was of softer yarn (resulting in striped Texture) → making all the other body parts jealous; thereafter they became even more jealous when realizing: Yosef will directly experience ‘conjugation’ ⇒ essentially leading to the other body parts throwing Yosef into the pit ⇒ eventually selling him to attribute:YishmaEl (hearing/answering the Nature’s call) ‘who’ bring/sell Yosef down to enslavement (in Mitzraim – the closed place). 

Note: Switching between Pharaoh & Melech-Mitzraim is not for literary flair; rather expressing two different internal male interactions with his female mother/or/mate!

These few extracts from my © 2008-2012 Moses Autonomy manuscript should be enough to get you started – slowly & carefully reading Torat-Moshe as a Sequential Development portrayal ‘template’ – internally experienced by a male; continuing (℅TOI) certainly violates numerous scholarly prohibitions. 

Of Practical Halacha Concern: While (trying to be) respectful of MishnahcHagigah2.1; various (PG-40 Mature ADULT Life-Secret?) aspects are public domain accessible via internet (IF this Mishnah is actually ‘thus’ cautioning → inclusive of subsequent Talmudic discussions, commentaries, etc.) – i naively suspect this Mishnah is ‘politely’ relating to ‘other’ matters; implied above; and more!
