As
I read through this Parashas
This Torah portion is the
fifteen in the cycle, it is called Bo, which means to come
referring to the first verse: Then יהוה
said to Moses, come to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart.
The Torah says that when the
CREATOR made this demand of Moses, the two of them were in Egypt, which means
that even in the midst of our darkness HE is there. No matter how deeply mired
we are in our own Egypt, our source of restriction, according to the Esh
Kodesh, a unique channel opens up each year on the Sabbath of Bo thanks
to Messiyah Yahushua who act as a conduits for the CREATOR. By offering
insights into the nature of revelation and by providing the service to Messiyah
Yahushua our direct who sits at the Right Hand of ABBA YAHWEH, the Torah
portion of Bo and the Sabbath gives us access to Light when we most need it.
This portion like all the
others, the CREATOR will revealed to us the Light of the Word only according to
our level of Spiritual Maturity or what I called our days of Creation. Which
means that the CREATOR’S role in our lives is limited only by our ability to
accept it?
The CREATOR is revealing
HIMSELF to us at all times. Moses knew this, Jerimiyah knew this, which is why
they sought out the Thorn Bush on the mountain, and Jeremyah saw the rod of an
almond tree. Because Jeremiyah saw well, YAHWEH
hasten HIS Word to perform it.
When we truly believe the
CREATOR is being revealed to us right where we are, HE will revealed HIMSELF to us, much the same way HE hasten to
revealed to Moses and Jeremiyah.
Now that we understand our
limitation, why don’t we just ignore our limitation? The reason is simple,
through our selfish ego, our self-serving actions stand in the way, creating a stumbling
block between our me first mentality and a shift in spiritual consciousness. We
can see the trees but not the forest, we cannot see through the darkned-glass.
Instead of seeing the CREATOR in all things we see ourselves.
As believer who are experiencing
the sixth days of Creation, on the first day we learn the all important lesson,
to recognize light from darkness, meaning that the recognizing off falsehood is
as crucial as seeing the Truth. We must also remember that everything in the
spiritual realm is a revelation of the Light of the CREATOR, which remind us
that we need to make an all important distinction between physical desire and
spiritual desire.
As human we are a network of
desires. Our desires for pleasure and acceptance for example are physical. When
we feel the desire to be accepted by our piers, we rightly think of this as our
own desire. The error most believers make is applying the same to understanding
to spiritual desires; we believe that when the desire to pray or fast that this
is our own desire. It is not!
The fulfilling of any physical
desires involves three steps: one, the desire, two, we act on the desire, three
we succeed in satisfying the desire. In Spiritual matters steps one in never
ours. It always come from the CREATOR. Just like Moses and Jeremiyah the desire
comes from the CREATOR, the burning bush and the Almond tree.
Our desires comes to us in the
form of feelings. For those of us who are not yet mature, it is not HIS Word HE
put in our mouth, it is HIS Desire that HE place within our Ego.
One of the lessons of this
portion is that even though the CREATOR can be found in all things, the
decision to seek HIM lies exclusively with us. To accomplish this, we have to
make a change in our spiritual consciousness. We achieve this when we
acknowledge that every thought, every situation hold a potential revelation
from the CREATOR. The first seven commands represent the bottom seven Sefirot
in the tree of life and the final three commandments, the top three Sefirot.
In this Parasha, the climax of
Moses’ mission is impending. The last three plague, the commandment to sanctify
the New Moon which establish the Spiritual calendar, the light governing
Passover, and the sanctification of the first born are about to be revealed to
Moses.
The first plague in this
Parasha, that of Locusts, introduces a new element; EL YAHWEH tells Moses that
He intends to make a mockery of Egypt by putting to rest the Haughty
presumptuousness of Pharaoh and his cohorts, so that not only Egypt, but even
the Children of Yisrael would know that EL YAHWEH, is MELECK in all the World.
The inclusion of the Children
of Yisrael in this Parasha is to prove that that even believers are often not
perfect in their faith.
