This Torah Portion Massei is the last in Numbers and the 43rd Parasha; it is read in conjunction with Mattos the 42nd except on a Leap year. Massei “Journey,” as every man life is a journey to the mountain top, and that every experience we experience while on that journey is a part of the process to correct our ego. Our ultimate destination lies in our correction of our ego.

The jest of this Portion, is that the most basic and most important understanding is that everything that happens in our life is from the CREATOR, and that every thought that comes into our mind is from the CREATOR.

He goes on to explain that even when a negative thought comes into our mind, urging us to perform a negative action, if we do not have the Holy Spirit and the Word in our mind we will fail.

Too often when a negative thought come to mind, we either fall victim to it because of the lack of the influence of the Holy Spirit and the lack of the Word written on our heart. When our ego is dominated by the flesh, we will either act upon the negative thought or push it aside. Both of these actions does nothing to correct the Ego.

What then can we do? Within every dark cloud is a silver lining. When we focus on or desire the Light that lies within a dark thought, we will transform the thought. When the negative thought comes and we stop long enough to realize it is the Light of the Creator covered by a shell of darkness, we remove that shell, and exposed the Light.

If we do not believe this and we do not do it, we are not desiring the light as children of Light, we are the children of darkness, we are still in Egypt. Our Job as believers is to free the Light hidden within every negative thoughts, but we do not believe that negative thought are the Light of the Holy Spirit, then our mind are still in exile in Egypt.

To the degree that we do not see the Light of the Holy Spirit in everything, we diminish the domain of the Holy Spirit in the World. But as we come to a clear understand of the Holy Spirit, we expand the domain of holiness in our world. Therefore it is vitally important that we see every negative thought as Light.

When we see a person, situation or circumstances as negative, we dimes the gevul haKedushah, the borders of Holiness in this world. We have to realize how powerful our consciousness is. How we see people and circumstances is curtail to whether we are going to expand the borders of Light or the border of darkness.

We revealed the Light within us when we diminish the influence of the spirit of Korach and Bilaam and increase the Spirit of Holiness.

Our purpose in life is to expand the borders of Light, even in the mundane thing in our lives. Our goal is to expand gervul haKedushah,  the border of Holiness, until we reach the Gemar HaTikkum, the final correction.  

In this chapter we learn of a particular account of the removals and encampments of the children of Yisrael, from their escape out of Egypt to their entrance into Canaan, forty-two in all, with some remarkable events that happened at some of those places verse 1 – 49. A strict command given them to drive out all the inhabitants of the land of Canaan, which they were now going to conquer and take possession of verse 50 – 56. So that the former part of the chapter looks back upon their march through the wilderness, the latter looks forward to their settlement in Canaan.
