The Need for a Messianic Dimension in the Israeli Election
Dear Friends,
The Election in Israel needs a Messianic dimension. By its very essence Israel, the Land of Israel, the role of the Jewish people, Mount Zion have deep Messianic meaning. The prominent contemporary Kabbalist Rav Michael Laitman explains in one of his videos (07.2016):
What does being a Jew mean? To be one who works to unite all separate parts of humanity into one whole.
Who is Israel? It is those who embody the meaning of the word Yashar-Kel, i.e., those who go “straight to the Creator” as the unifying power in reality.
What is the Land of Israel? It’s the path of common purpose between us.
What is the role of the Jewish people? It is to be a “light unto the nations.” That is, to give an example of unity to the world.
Obviously, the political Parties participating in the election in Israel have to address these important metaphysical goals! If the Biblical meaning of Israel signifies “straight to the Creator”, then the election has to deal with ascending to the higher worlds. This requires a program for the journey to the Heavenly Jerusalem and how to establish this celestial reality down on Earth! Otherwise, Israel, the Land of Israel, the Jewish people and the Diaspora are losing their predestined Divine purpose!
Because we are in the middle of the Messianic era, the Israeli people and the Jewish Diaspora have to embark on a new Exodus, this time not only to the Promised Land (the Garden of Paradise), but higher – to the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem (i.e., to the 4th Heaven). The Exodus from the contemporary Babylonian type of civilization requires fractal iteration (repeating) of the journey led by Moses. In our time the function of Moses will be fulfilled by a collective Spirit of Initiates.
I am on a spiritual journey for more than 50 years, preparing to participate in the New Exodus. In order to activate the collective fractal iteration of the journey led by Moses, we have first to develop an Integral Messiah Institute. This Institute has to fulfill the tasks of achieving the Right Kabbalistic Understanding of the Exodus, tracing the New Exodus journey, spreading the ideas not only within the Jewish people, but among all nations on Earth.
Even the preliminary results of such an Integral Messiah Institute are staggering! In communication with G-d, Moses brought the eternal Tora and the Ten Commandments. The fundamental Kabbalistic book Zohar teaches that the first Tablets emanated from the Tree of Life, but that Israel, by worshiping the golden calf, ‘was judged unworthy of benefiting from them. Therefore, Moses, following the divine command, gave the people other Tablets, which came from the side of the Tree of Good and Evil’ (…this is permitted, this is forbidden). [Leo Schaya, The Universal Meaning of the Kabbalah, Unwin Paperbacks, 1989, p.15].
Naturally, when humankind enters into the new cosmic cycle of evolution, the Divine Commandments will come through the Tree of Life in the World of Creation! Then they will become Ten Divine Blessings. They will be for the whole of humankind and will bless us for life in the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem on Earth!
The Ten Divine Blessings will reveal to us the Ten Heavens in the new Cosmic cycle. In essence, the new Cosmic cycle in the Heavenly Jerusalem opens a New Tora, which is bestowed by G-d to humankind! Of course, the Ten Commandments and the Tora revealed by Moses, are eternal – not a single word could be changed or replaced. The Ten Blessings however, coming from the Tree of Life in the world of Creation, are the next step in the evolution of Humankind envisaged by the great Prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel, and many other Divine Masters from the world religions. For instance, the Prophet Isaiah witnessed God creating new heavens and a new earth: “Arise, Jerusalem, and shine like the sun; The glory of the LORD is shining on you! Now I create new heavens and a new earth, and the past will not be remembered, and will come no more to men’s minds.” (The Book of Isaiah 60:1; 65:17)
For this New Tora Rabbi Naftali Silberberg writes in his Chabad Publication – Tora Study During the Messianic Era: One of the promises regarding the Messianic Redemption concerns the Torah we will then study: “A new Torah will emit from Me” (Midrash Rabbah Leviticus based on Isaiah 51:4). In fact, “The Torah which we study in this world is naught in comparison to the Torah of Moshiach” (Midrash Rabbah, Ecclesiastes 11:8).
The New Tora is so rich because it comes from the Tree of Life in the World of Creation! Obviously, we have to enter into it through a profound study! An initial step for this study is forming The Integral Messiah Institute, which will introduce many important topics in connection with the New Exodus and the essence of the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem on Earth.
So, now the time has come – to change the direction of life in Israel, to fulfill the mission of the Jewish people connected with the rest of humankind! Then, of course, the situation in the world will change – no more hatred, antisemitism, wars, climate changes and so on! Paraphrasing the words of the Prophet Ezekiel, I could finish: The name of the Earth from now on will be “The-Lord-Is-Here!” This is why introducing the Messianic Dimension in the Israeli election is crucially important!
