Peace or Shalom |
Peace ~ shalom
By Jeff A. Benner
When we hear the word peace we usually associate this to mean an absence of war or strife but, the Hebrew meaning of the word shalom has a very different meaning. The verb form of the root word is shalam and is usually used in the context of making restitution. When a person has caused another to become deficient in some way, such as a loss of livestock, it is the responsibility of the person who created the deficiency to restore what has been taken, lost or stolen. The verb shalam literally means to make whole or complete. The noun shalom has the more literal meaning of being in a state of wholeness or with no deficiency. The common phrase shalu shalom yerushalayim (pray for the peace of Jerusalem) is not speaking about an abcense of war (though that is part of it) but that Jerusalem (and by extension all of Israel) is complete and whole and goes far beyond the idea of "peace".

Preparing before Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur Tuesday evening, September 25, 2012 - Wednesday night, September 26, 2012 (Day of Atonement, the day of harmonizing the heavenly soul with the earthly flesh).
It's a time to take off all your old clothes and put on new clothes. In
other words, no more blame or shame, love is the new gain, happiness
bring us to the great circle, to receive the heavenly virtues of the
blue road. Let us sing and dance all day, let joy lead the waves. Fire
and Water, I shall purify, the holy smoke within me shall roar, I shall
be righteous with loving rays, to bow to the will of God, the voice of
all the children at the great circle of the ONE, the rings of bonds, the
marriage to G_ah_d (utterance of heavenly transmission, in the winds).
We are all relatives. We are all clowns (medicine people). We bring
happiness to the world that needs to hear this sound.
Halachah (Jewish Law, the
legal part of the Talmud, which should be oral, the songs upon high, the
law is love that prescribes) prescribes the Mikyah Baths.
Sacred Song Blessings Sky of the Eternal: Twin Deer Mother Sings and Holiness David Father Red Hand Drums http://weblessyou.blogspot.com/2012/09/sky-of-eternal.html
excerpt: Impunity is the exemption from punishment, penalty or harm. This is what happens with the cleansing colors. The golden child, our Cosmic Father cleanses the inner soul songs, the heavenly fields. The lavender child, our Holiness cleanses the outer physical colors, the fields of earth. This is done automatically, without consent, but freely gifted happily. It is a time of rejoicing, when we can walk into brotherhood with the holy and divine beings we are to become, those who can share the great dream together. The kingdom is near.
Mother Earth's natural bodies of water -- its oceans, rivers, wells, clouds and spring-fed lakes -- are mikvahs in their most primal form, our tears that fell, like stars from heaven. They contain waters of divine source and thus, tradition teaches, the power to purify. Mikvahs are baths where one is baptized between yourself and God's unity, a holy purification to cleanse within the waters. The baths are joined together. One is usually filled with collection of rain water (stillness). And the other with running water (movement). The two baths are next to each other and an opening of 2 inches is left open for the waters to mingle. This place is represents the blue waters of song, the heavenly soul and the red fire of color, the earthly flesh (song and dance). When a circle is twisted, someone is backwards and someone is forwards, but still a circle. This holy divine is the figure 8, representing the eagle that flies free and the holy and divine in each child, like you. Often this is referred to as the infinity symbol. These two parts, the unseen of heavenly virtues and the seen of earthly virtues, join together to mingle in the rites of purification. To cleanse one self is now a daily measure, as we learn to understand the values of purification. We take our blessings seriously, because learning and practicing together, brings us to the great blue seas of you and me, relatives of 12 tribes, eternal and bliss, the Rainbow Clan.

Immersion in a Mikvah
It is a widely accepted custom for all men to immerse in a mikvah (ritual pool) on the day before Yom Kippur. In certain communities, women also immerse in a mikvah on this day.
There are two reasons for this immersion:
There are two reasons for this immersion:
- In order to be ritually pure in preparation for the holiest day of the year.
- The immersion is symbolic of conversion. Just as a convert immerses in a mikvah and thus becomes a "new person," so, too, it is our intention to do teshuvah (repentance) and become new people.

Mikveh: Sacred, Sensual Gray Waters Far From Green by Tinamarie Bernard
The
first time I entered into the mikveh, it felt as if my body was
suspended in something extraordinary, primordial fluid, if you will.
Every sense awoke. The water felt warm against my skin, like a
comforting caress, and the gentle lapping sounds echoed against the
walls and whooshed in my ears. Time became irrelevant when I held my
breath, opened my eyes, and submitted to the experience.
It is
with total reference when we say that Judaism’s ancient ritual – mikveh
immersion – is both sacred and intimate, a rejuvenation of the heart,
soul and body. Read more
http://www.greenprophet.com/2010/05/mikveh-sensual-water-green/
Before Yom Kippur we perform the Kaparot atonement service; we request
and receive honey cake, in acknowledgement that we are all recipients in
G-d's world and in prayerful hope for a sweet and abundant year; eat a
festive meal; immerse in a mikvah; and give extra charity. Late
afternoon we eat the pre-fast meal, following which we bless our
children, light a memorial candle as well as the holiday candles, and go
to the synagogue for Kol Nidrei services.
In the course of Yom
Kippur we hold five prayer services: Maariv, with its solemn Kol Nidrei
service, on the eve of Yom Kippur; Shacharit--the morning prayer, which
includes the reading from Leviticus followed by the yizkor memorial
service; Musaf, which includes a detailed account of the Yom Kippur
Temple service; Minchah, which includes the reading of the Book of
Jonah; and Neilah, the "closing of the gates" service at sunset. We say
the Al Chet confession of sins eight times in the course of Yom Kippur,
and recite Psalms every available moment.
The day is the most
solemn of the year, yet an undertone of joy suffuses it: a joy that
revels in the spirituality of the day and expresses the confidence that
G-d will accept our repentance, forgive our sins, and seal our verdict
for a year of life, health and happiness. The closing Neilah service
climaxes in the resounding cries of "Hear O Israel... G-d is one." Then
joy erupts in song and dance (a Chabad custom is to sing the lively
"Napoleon's March"), followed by a single blast of the shofar, followed
by the proclamation, "Next year in Jerusalem." We then partake of a
festive after-fast meal, making the evening after Yom Kippur a Yom Tov
(festival) in its own right. Chabad.org

What is Yom Kippur?
Yom Kippur or Day of Attonement (harmonizing the divine talk to the divine walk) is considered the holiest day of the year. The day on which we are
closest to G_ah_d (utterance of heavenly transmission) and to the glory
of our own souls. Fasting and atonement (harmony, united soul to flesh, talk and walk), solemnity and joy...are the virtues to express the holy day of cleansing of our sacred hearts. We are divine beings and bring happiness to those we encounter, when they can receive the great blessings of God's (g_d, no heaven, yet heaven is arriving, prepare, it is now, GOD or GAHD) divine oneness, we are together, a streaming weather.
Refresh your soul, offer blessings for heavenly tears! |
Sow put on your dancing shoes and grab a partner or find a neighbor or traveler and enjoy time together, in holy preparation of the sacred soul that rejoices in bringing the child within (talking), into the world (walking). Share the good news of cleansing one's heart, to prepare the prayers of divine consciousness and gather in the great dream together on this world we will fallow (rest) in the whether.
We are forgiven always in the heavenly viewpoint. It is an earthly viewpoint that man would need forgiveness. To forgive and be forgiven, is a heavenly virtue. But learning how to live this way is not an easy task to undertake.
"You are supposed to live everyday out of sin, trying to be out of sin, by practicing God's law, of every moment of every day." says Holiness David our Father Red Hand.
Yom Kippur or Day of Attonement (harmonizing the divine talk to the divine walk) is considered the holiest day of the year. Leviticus 16
* afflict: "Rejoice, release your afflictions, abstain and live in peace". Twin Deer Mother
"Then it's up to the sinner to improve himself and become worthy of God's forgiveness. Only through personal repentance and self cleansing can a person "be cleansed of all his sins before God".
Verses 29-34 Commentary within the Stone Edition of the Chumach. It continues...
The eternal commandment of Yom Kippur: having completed the Yom Kippur Ritual, the Torah states that the commandment to observe Yom Kippur is an annual one and that in addition to the Temple Service which has been the sole focus of the Chapter up to this point, there are additional commandments to fast and refrain from work. 29. The explanation of "you shall afflict yourself": the sages expound that the expression "afflict" refers only to abstention from food and drink. Whereever scripture associates "self", with "affliction", it refers to fasting. This is how the sages derive that our verse requires fasting rather than some other form of affliction. It is noteworthy that, in giving the laws of Yom Kippur, Rambam does not speak of fasting of affliction. Rather he writes: there is a further positive commandment on Yom Kippur. It is to rest from eating and drinking. It is forbidden to bath, to apply oil to the body, to wear shoes or to cohabit (sexual relations). It is a positive commandment to rest from all of these, just as it is commanded to rest from eating. Rambam's choice of words is significant. He states that on Yom Kippur, one "rest" from the listed activities which indicates that the purpose of fasting is not that one should suffer, but that that he should transcend the normal human limitations that prevent him from functioning properly unless he eats. On Yom Kippur a Jew (oldest children of the rainbow clan who is ordained to teach the younger children these laws of cleansing and purification rituals) is like an Angel who serves God without need for food*. In the Yom Kippur, it proclaims that repentance is one of the means of deflecting evil decrees. The implications is plain: fasting is it's greatest value when associated with repentance, and the purpose of the fast is to elevate Jews, not to cause them physical deprivation.
* "An Angel would give up what she has for another, as a Mother would give up her soul, to gift the rainbow, the dreams for all her children. In actuality, the Rainbow Mother gifts to us each a soul, a bit of heavenly virtues by teaching us how to roll over those lessons (stepping stones) and prepare us to get ready for the birthing of the SUN, SHAVAH, the inner sun of a divine shard of lights, rainbow colors shine. These 12 Sun Tribes known as the Jewish People, represent the Rainbow Clan and it's story of the streaming on the red road, where the law is love and their role in leading us towards this law, the practice of purification depends on the holiest of thou, those who bow. It is written to show honor to thine Mother and Father and to learn from their mistakes. We forgive them, because in this practice we are allowed to make our own mistakes, our own lessons, our own path to discovery. And as each new generation appears, evolution lifts us higher into our collective consciousness. You are all children of the Rainbow Clan, for we each wear the four directions in rainbow colors. Many in Israel throw Roosters in the air, unknowingly, representing the weather vane, the turning of the winds, where four directions guide us homeward, bound together, in all the whethers. It's love that keeps us afloat, the heart with the most. We bow with the Rainbow Clan, all our relatives of heaven and earth. "I bless the sacred nine streams and the four holy directions." Twin Deer Mother
Verse 31 commentary
A Sabbath of Complete Rest. Unlike festivals, when a preparation of food and related work is permitted, all labor is forbidden on Yom Kippur. The Torah describes the other festivals as a day of rest, while it calls Yom Kippur a Sabbath of Complete Rest.
"This is a day we attempt not to kill anything for foods (stones, plants, animals) to bring peace upon our hearts and to receive all the streaming light from the sunrise and the sunset. This will be our nourishment, each other, the relatives of the rainbows. To be still and receive on the blue road. the soul sings divine, while serving the Oneness of God. We are the ark of the covenant, the promise of the Rainbow and all it's treasures shall be known, when the brotherhood is sown." Twin Deer Mother continues."I cry each time I cut into a plant, all things feel. For one holy day (annual migration) of rest and rejoicing brings us to the whole of the wheel, the dreaming that is real, the tears that bring us home to the strong and gallant, the tears of joy on returning to our heavenly consciousness, where our eternal souls are birthed again in the streaming of the born child, the pureness of your smile. Tears roll down, for all the children. It will take a while. Bless and pray, we are on our way. We are on our way, heaven is on her wings. We are on our way! Let the tears remind us of the heavenly true blue, the streaming four corners that hold us close like glue, to the heavenly truth."
"Upon the front of the sails, the winds blow across your face, I bless your prayer cloth where ever you may bow." Twin Deer Mother
Today sunrise 6:59am and sunset 6:59pm was equally the same, 24 hours complete. An auspicious day for Yom Kippur to begin, the holiest of day each year. Tonight sunset 7:02 (several minutes before sunset on Tishrei 9) to next sunset 7:00pm (to after nightfall on Tishrei 10), we abstain from food and drink. We do not wash or anoint our bodies nor do we wear animal skin on our feet. Thus we show honor to all our relatives. During a time of a great migration, finding water is not always easy. We must be prepared to live without water, in a time of great need and create bountiful tears for the world to grow. During our trials and tribulations, what is called affliction of our souls, is to be cleansed and purified to elated joy and glory filled eyes. Let our tears wash us clean and gift to us rebirthing of our souls in the peace filled darkness of heavenly bliss. Peace be with us.
