The Stones of the Breastplate

Parashat Tetzaveh states the Stones of the Breastplate. I've always been totally fascinated by this, and by stones in general. The energy of these Torah portions sings to me.In the realm of quantum synchronicity, I'm trying to sell my mineral collection. :D
Energy - not religion. Not literal interpretation, although the literal does invoke visions of such splendour that it is hard to remove oneself from them, and that's the connection. It is so hard to study and separate the religion from the spirituality.
The portion is quite explicit. 12 Stones. 4 rows with 3 stones each. Each stone inscribed in such a manner with Hebrew Letters, identifiying the tribes and the Patriarchs. Sephirotic. The bringing down of energy, form, with the letters as the vessels for the light.

Portion Tetzaveh
Second Aliyah
The Breastplate'Make it out of gold thread, sky-blue, dark red and crimson wool, and twined linen.
Set it with four rows of mounted stones.
The first of these rows shall contain
a carneliam - Odem
an emerald - Pidtah
and a topaz. - Bareketh
The second row:
carbuncle - Nopehkh
sapphire - Sapir
beryl . - Yahalom
The third row:
jacinth - Leshem
agate - Sh'vo
amethyst. - Aehlamah
The fourth row:
chrysolite - Tarehish
onyx - Shoham
jasper. - Yaspeh.

Rabbi Shimon says the breastplate is the secret of the forty two letter name of
G-d, {which is the Ana B'Koach}, and the seventy two letter name of G-d, which are the letters Moses used to part the Red Sea. I remember a lecture in which the Breastplate was described as a type of computer. Certain letters lit up while other letters stayed dark, thusly answering the questions posed by the High Priest, the Kohan. Here's Rabbi Shimon from www.kabbalaonline.org.
"Come and see: when those letters of these two names were lodged there, in the fold of the breastplate, their power illuminated the other letters that were engraved on the stones of the breastplate - the letters of the names of the twelve tribes - lighting up some and leaving others dark."
The Ari talks about reflected light, and the concept of the inter integrating of the Sephirot, which is the energy of Adar. The Ari says it is about the coming down of Chesed of Yesod of Binah to Yesod of Zeir Anpin to Chesed of Netzach and Chesed of Hod. Netzach and Hod being Moses and Ahron. What is even weirder is that I understand. sighs.

I've been reading old sci fi again. And I just started researching Aborigines again, because of the Dreaming. The aborigines have always said they were the First Ones. They have the Dreaming, which is the veil removed from the false reality. Amazing. The Aborigines sing the words which form the true reality.

Exodus is Shemot, Names, in Hebrew. It is all about the names. hmmmmming some more.

Here is the BBC story on Encedalus, which has the wrong name by the way. I'm good with this shemot stuff. I may not be a good housekeeper, but I do have other gifts. Bruce {of the Springsteens} knows. There's a line in one of his songs ' and in the darkness of your own room your mother calls you by your true name'.

Saturn moon 'may have an ocean'

Saturn's moon Enceladus could harbour a liquid water ocean beneath its icy crust, according to data sent back by the Cassini spacecraft.

Until Cassini reached Saturn, the tiny moon had received little attention.
But Enceladus is now the focus of intensive study following the discovery that it is geologically active.

Enceladus may possess reservoirs of near-surface liquid water that erupt to form geysers - and where there's water, there may be life, scientists argue.

These jets have been observed erupting from a "hot spot" in the moon's south polar region.
Scientists on the mission have likened them to the kinds of geysers found in Yellowstone National Park in the US.

"We realise that this is a radical conclusion - that we may have evidence for liquid water within a body so small and so cold," said Dr Carolyn Porco, Cassini imaging team leader at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, US.

"However, if we are right, we have significantly broadened the diversity of Solar System environments where we might possibly have conditions suitable for living organisms. It doesn't get any more exciting than this."

Very exciting. Very Sci Fi. I really hope they're blue.

Encompassing spirituality is a process, a change, an alteration. We exist to evolve. The whole universe is in flux. The energies are shifting. It is an honour to be a part of it. A lot of the teachings during Adar deal with the aspect of not knowing. It is impossible to know in the way of true knowing behind the veil, where we are, as it were. And it has to remain hidden, because that is part of the equation. Paradox. Are we really part of some super computer? Sometimes I muse about. As did Douglas Adams. How real is real? Are Nuclear weapons real? The old after the bomb drops movies have been playing again. In nuclear holicaust, there is no redemption. Mushroom cloud and radiation wind, every cell in your body becomes infested with radiation, the nuclear night or nuclear winter , which Twilight Zone was so good at depicting, and all that other stuff. And ya know about the cockroaches.

Is it real?

This US Ports and Dubai has the aspect of Theater of the Absurd. None of it makes any sense. I've got the stories on the blog. If you read back, you see the sense it doesn't make. It has everything to do with money, and nothing to do with anything else. We're being sold.

Here's BBC dated March 6

Second Dubai firm in US port link

ISS suppliers services at Baltimore and other US portsA Dubai-owned firm is already providing shipping services in the United States, it has emerged.

Inchcape Shipping Services, whose clients include the US Navy, has been owned since January by the United Arab Emirates investment firm Istithmar.

Fellow Dubai firm Dubai Ports World has agreed to cede control of US ports acquired in its takeover of P&O to a "US entity" after a political outcry.

The US Congress threatened to block the takeover on security grounds.

Here's today's story http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4794230.stm

Bush warns over port row 'signal'

New York is one of the six key ports embroiled in the disputePresident George W Bush has said opposition in the US to a deal giving a Dubai-based company control of six US ports sends a bad signal to allies.

Mr Bush said the United Arab Emirates was a "valued and strategic partner" in the US-led war on terrorism.

Dubai Ports World has agreed to cede control of US ports acquired in its takeover of P&O to a "US entity".

Its move followed an outcry among US lawmakers worried the deal would create a greater threat of terrorism.

But it has now emerged that a second Dubai-owned firm is already providing shipping services in the US.

We know that dubble u can't pronounce the word nuclear. And wouldn't it be just that much irony if the one who couldn't say the name is the one who caused it to be. Just musing. Just musing.
