They knew that what we eat also has an affect upon our consciousness. Our minds and thoughts, along with our bodies are definitely affected by what we eat. Not only does what we eat affect us psychologically, it also effects us spiritually. Unlike what some modern critics say, kosher laws were not established by Torah merely to serve as the basis of some ancient code for healthy eating. Physical health benefits play only the smallest of roles in the laws of kashrut. Observing kosher laws does provide physical and nutritional benefits; however, these are only secondary in importance to the greater spiritual benefit that comes forth from them. Food is essentially energy and energy is the life-force. In Torah, this energy is called Nefesh and it resides within the blood. Various levels of life-force energy fluctuates human consciousness. The proper balance of life-force energy enables one to calibrate one’s level of spiritual attunement. Therefore, the right amount and levels of life-force energy are vital for one to maintain a complementary spiritual frequency aligning one with the Tabernacle, and later Temple, the Ark and prophecy. Kosher laws are all about this energy. Kosher laws were given to us to enable us to refine our bodies so that our souls would be clear and able to tune in to the Divine frequency, becoming in tuned with G-d. This connection is what Torah refers to as Kedusha, holiness. Kosher cleanses both body and soul and makes one holy. All kosher laws revolve around the basic principle of the interaction between tumah (unclean) energy and kedusha (holy) energy. Tumah sucks out life force energy and kedusha is the opposite, injecting life force energy, imbuing its recipient with great psychic power. The origins of these laws came from beyond our Earth. Their origins are beyond limited human intellect to grasp. They betray their extraterrestrial origins. No unaided human being can possibly delve to the depths of understanding life force energy transference as outlined in Torah. The details of kosher laws make a lot of sense when understood within the context of life-force energy mechanics. Let us review some of the general categories. Forbidden Foods – The Torah outlines a number of animals that are forbidden to eat. The general rule is that a permitted animal need have a split hoof and chew their cud. These two attributes delineated an animal of a specific caliber of energy that was benign to spiritual attunement and therefore permitted. However, as we have learned, different foods generate different energies. There are specific types of animals and fish that emanate energy fields which create incongruity within human beings disturbing our sensitive tuning into the proper spiritual frequency which connects us to Heaven. Eating forbidden animal flesh does not make us sick, physically or psychologically, however it most certainly disrupts the sensitive tuning that a soul must have if it is too remained attached to the Heavenly Torah frequency. Israel was obligated to maintain this connection; it is part of the commandment to be holy. Not all human beings are required to achieve and maintain such a level of spiritual sensitivity, therefore, the categories of forbidden flesh are only applicable to Israel and those who wish to achieve that level of spiritual consciousness which we call holiness. Non Jews are not obligated to maintain this heightened level of spiritual connection, however they are by all means welcome to adopt them if they so choose. We see many individuals from many different spiritual paths who are very refined in what they eat, avoiding all types of animal and fish flesh. Their heightened levels of spirituality are often self evident. While they might not met the Torah standards for kedusha/holiness, nonetheless, their levels of spiritual attunements are certainly higher than Jews who do not maintain their kedusha and violate the kosher laws. The Non Jewish paths of vegetarianism and veganism certainly have both physical and psychological health benefits; these cannot be denied. Nonetheless, I do not consider these diet choices as having any extraordinary spiritual merit with regards to kedusha/holiness. |
Some Words Of Wisdom For All To Contemplate
DEFEND YOURSELVES !!
Guard your minds!
You have no idea of the level of assault you
face every day.
Bend like a reed in the wind, yet, stand strong as a wall of eternal stones
before the onslaught of fiery arrows.
Winds can crack even the mightiest of trees.
Fiery arrows cannot hurt walls of stone.
There is a time to be a tree and a time to be a wall.
DEFEND YOURSELVES !! Guard your minds!
Learn the times, learn how one must act for
the moment, for the place.
There is a time and a purpose for all things under Heaven.
We are in the middle of the change of times,
learn when to be a tree and when to be a wall,
for the fire will burn wood, and the wind will shatter the mightiest of walls.
Be the right thing in the right place at the right time.
DEFEND YOURSELVES !! Guard your minds!
And you just may will live to see the other
side of redemption.

“And you will be swiftly removed from upon the good land that G-d gives you.” (Deut. 11:17)
The Ba’al Shem Tov has said, that an individual
must always have a calm mind and not act impetuously,
[for when one does act in
this way, then he] “will be swiftly removed from upon the good land.”
One [must
learn to] swiftly remove impetuousness [rather than be removed because of it.
(Ref. SBST, Ekev 62).
The first of all wise sayings attributed to our Sages in Pirkei Avot is
“be
deliberating in judgment.”
In other words, we should never be quick and impetuous to make decisions
that are not well thought out, rational and logical.
Every day we are faced with decisions and every day we often make the wrong decisions simply because we rush to decide.
Sometimes the best decision is no decision, at least for the moment.
The world
WILL NOT come to an end if we wait a while before responding to a matter that is
not an immanent crises.
This advice might not be for the battlefield… but we do not always live on the
battlefield.
Decisions about business, family, expenses and everyday living
have to be made based upon the greater and wiser good and not just upon how we
feel or how things look at the moment.
Times change and so do feelings. Never make a decision that will affect the future based only on the here and now.
Pause, take a moment, and look towards tomorrow, the next day, and the day after
that.
Takes these into consideration today before you make a decision that will
affect you negatively tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------------------
Everything that we hold dear is exactly what holds us back from experiencing and acquiring true wealth.
We have been falsely educated into attributing value to things that in essence are meaningless.
Everything in this life is transitory at best.
Physical items, emotional attachments, attitudes, beliefs, ideas and
philosophies, all of these come and go like a passing wind.
Our attachment to these things creates within us a false sense of security and
we seldom let go.
We build around ourselves mighty walls of brick, feelings and ideas, thinking
that these will keep us safe from assault.
How foolish and shortsighted we are.
For every new lock that we create, there comes an even better lock pick.
For every better mouse trap we develop there comes a bigger and stronger mouse.
This is the way of nature, it is unavoidable.
We
protect our homes with all types of security systems and still they are
burglarized.
We protect our feelings with all types of emotional walls and we still end up
getting hurt.
We protect our ideas and beliefs with all types of arguments and justifications
and we still face confusion and contradiction.
We
cannot block out, we cannot find security in the insecure, nor can we find
stability in the unstable.
It is inevitable and unavoidable.
Whatever goes up must come down and whatever goes down creates an equal and
opposite reaction causing it to rise.
In this is summed up all of life and its various movements.
