Weekly E-Mail - Parasha Ki Tisa - כי תשא - "When you take" or "If you take"


Consciousness Builder  
 
Evil does not descend from above. The transmission from above is pure and coherent. Evil is distortion and noise, an effect of our reception.
 
I f we would only learn how to adjust our reception devices, our attitude and our ability to receive, the signal would become clear.
 
And that is all there is to life - learning to adjust - our personal reception to pure and coherent.

rasha Ki Tisa translates as "When You Take..." or "If You Take...". Of course everyone takes as this is only human. Yet in the western societies and the language of morality taking is not a good practice. They say it is better to "buy" or exchange or even receive rather than take. Why do you think this is true?

In Kabbalah "to take", while human, since everything is created as a desire to receive, depends on your consciousness as to its morality or even its energy effect.

If you take for yourself alone it is called selfish and spiritually does not result in positive energy or positive impacts within your life. It is called a sin. If you take for the purpose of sharing
then it is called good and results in positive energy being received by you as well as positive effects happening in your life.

In this parasha the Golden Calf - a great big sin - is built by the Erev Rav and the Tribe of Levites kills 3000 Children of Israel at the orders of Moshe Rabeinu.

Also in this Parasha does Moshe correct the mistakes of Noach and Abraham by asking that he be "taken" out of God's Book rather than become the seed of a New nation of Children of Israel. Note the relationship to the Name of the Parasha.

In addition to HaShem agreeing with Moshe, HaShem teaches the 13 Attributes of Mercy which act as an automatic tool of forgiveness.  This is why we utilize these 13 Attributes to separate between the Right Column and Left Column energies in our own Creations since we may not actually have spiritual permission to Create if it is not the Right Time or Right Place or Right Actions for our Creations.

There is a large Nun in the 13 Attributes at Exodus Chapter 34 Verse 7. This large Nun is a vaccine against falling spiritually. There is also a large Reish in the word Acher - Other to assist us to realize that Other is really an opportunity to receive Light when we use "binding by striking" to resist building our idols. This large Reish is at Exodus Chapter 34 Verse 14.

The essence of this Parasha is to be a vaccine against Idol Worship as well as teach us what to do if we fall spiritually.

Why Study Zohar?

Here are quotes from famous Kabbalists:

It is a great obligation incumbent on all Israel to study the Zohar ha kaddosh every single day, even when it is said without understanding, for this build worlds and he purifies and sanctifies his soul and there is no limit to the greatness of his reward because through this he brings redemption closer and brings great pleasure to His Creator...Therefore everybody should at least study five pages per day of the Zohar ha Kaddosh 
Tzavaat Rav Meir Schwartz mi Faidhotz

"The Sefer ha Zohar is a Tikkun for the Baaal Teshuvah - The Man of Return to Hashshem."
Shivche ha Arizal         
 
"If he meritorious to wake up before dawn. he should then study Sefer ha Zohar for in its merit the Jews will come out of Exile which resembles the night and even though he has not the merit to understand it, even so he shall learn the language for it purifies the soul". 
Siddur Shaar ha Shamaim Seder Limud shel ha Kodmim

"And the main point is that when your soul will cling to the books that deal with Yirut Hashem, that you thereby will realize at every moment the great debt you owe to the Creator of all worlds, and in particular through the sefer ha Zohar which is the most important of all, and it will cause your heart to flare up in flames of fire, the Sefer ha Zohar is the key". 
Sefer Sur me Rav ye Ase

"One should learn Sifre Kabbalah, and when he does not understand it he should learn the Zohar and the Tikkunim for they are a Segula to purify the Neshama"  
Siddur ha Aziral of Rabbi Yaakob Kapil

"The study of the Sefer ha Zohar is more elevated than any other study, even if he does not know what he is saying and even if he makes mistakes. And it is a great Tikkun for the Neshama, because even though the Torah is composed of names of the Holy one Blessed be He, it is nevertheless clothed in many stories, and when the person reads, he understands the stories and puts his mind on the simple meaning of those stories, but the sefer ha Zohar has the secrets revealed, and the reader knows that there are secrets and the occult parts of the Torah, only that he does not understand because of the depth of the subject and the shortness of his understanding".  
The Chida, More Ba Etzba Siman 44

"...And even when he is like an animal that does not know how to read, even with all this, his reward will be double and there is an insinuation in the verse (Tehillim) "Man and beast Hashem saves" where the Gematria of the words TOSHIA HASHEM (Saves Hashem) plus the letters plus the 2 words themselves equals the sum of the following: ZOHAR TIKKUNIM BE DIKDUK TZACH (TZADDI CHET - TZE CHASHOV) - chanoch adds: Zohar and the Tikunim is the grammer seed level of cleansing. 
Hakdamat of the Editor of the Zohar edition printed in Livorno
chanoch's Commentary
You may have heard me say that when reading the Zohar in Hebrew or Aramaic that I do not understand - I realize that I made a mistake in pronunciation. When I go back and correct that mistake I make a Tikkun - a correction. This is because making a mistake is caused by our Tikkun which causes a blockage. When I go back and pronounce the words properly I make this correction and break that specific Klipah.
 
"He who studies the Zohar, even when he doesn't understand what comes out of his mouth, Ha Kaddosh Baruch Hu rectifies his words..."
Hakdamat of the Editor of the Zohar edition printed in Livorno 
 
"It is necessary to read in the Sefer ha Zohar even when he does not know what it says, because it is a great correction to the Shechina and to his own soul as it is known for various reasons."
Tikkun Leil Shavuot Le ha Ramaz  
 
"O that my people would listen to me, in this evil generation when heresy increases, It is proper to learn the Zohar and the Tikkunim with children nine years of age so that their fear of Hashem will precede their wisdom and will be maintained"
Notzer Chessed on Massechet Avot, Perek 4 

"One who does not merit to understand The Zohar, he should nevertheless learn, because the language of the Zohar purifies the soul"
Ohr Tzaddikim by Rav Meir Papirash 
 
"And we see that in regards to the study of the Mishna there are many opinions that say that one must understand what he is studying, but when reading Tehillim (Book of Psalms) or the Zohar even if one doesn't understand anything at all, it is important and received and desired by The Holy One Blessed Be He" 
Pele Yoatz
 
"One who does not merit to understand The Zohar, he should nevertheless learn, because the language of the Zohar purifies the soul"     
   Ohr Tzaddikim by Rav Meir Papirash, a student of the Ari ha Kadosh

"Because of this work. the Book of the Zohar, [the Children of Israel] will be redeemed from exile" 
The Zohar ha Kaddosh (3, 124b)
