The Night Teacher - January 15, 2025
The sight of her captivates me. Her brightness puts me in a state of awe. We know her because of the presence of a greater light who illuminates her from time to time, and more or less. Of course, there is a dark side to the moon. There is a dark side to most of us, too. It can show up when we bully people and use hurtful words to manipulate them. The moon teaches us to be ruthlessly honest about this aspect of ourselves. She reminds us to recognize the distinction in the moment, a most important time to know if you are on the side of light or the side of darkness. It is also imperative to recognize when you can walk the middle way between the two, avoid being conflicted, and move forward in your life. . . . .

God Saw the Light Was Good and He Separated the Light From the Darkness - Genesis 1:4
"Concerning all natural phenomena, we note that, by their very nature, they are involved in a sort of competitive relationship whereby one must best the other. Fire and water cannot exist together. It is one or the other. This applies to all phenomena, except light and darkness. They are both creations yeish mei’ayin, ex nihilo, something from nothing. In his commentary to Meseches Tamid 32, the Maharsha writes that we must believe that Hashem {God} created ohr and choshech, light and darkness, equally yeish mei’ayin, even if we have difficulty conceptualizing this. We neither ask what existed before this world was created, nor what will be after. As believing Jews, we do just that: believe in Hashem. . ."

Hebrew Letter and the Tarot
Uniquely, the Holy Hebrew Letters are considered feminine in nature. Each has three aspects to their meaning:1) a vocalization sound or silent breath; 2) an alpha-numerical value distinct from her alphabetical order, ie the letter in the 12th position is Lamed, and she has a numerical value of 30. Kabbalists find mystical associations in a coded numerical relationships between words of the Torah that equal the same value. This is called "gamatria"; and 3) a symbolic-spiritual aspect arrayed in each of the letter's form or architecture. Even if you don't know the Hebrew language, by scanning the text the sacred geometry of the letters will impart meaning and knowledge to your subconscious. God created the world with speech, which breaks down to words, which breaks down to letters.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" John 1:1.

"While deep into my writings something seemingly miraculous can arise. In the metaphorical dark cave of contemplations an oh so fleetingly flicker of light appears. It is a flash of awareness from my intuition. I can feel a flow of heightened energy coursing through me. My body heats up in its rush and the mind fills with a new idea, or a new way of wording. To fully appreciate this phenomenon of pure joy, derived from a sense of knowingness, one might have to shut out the world. To close off can help us to be aware of this subtle, sublime spark of creativity and insights."
