this week's Paras is par Trum that we
read about the Tabernacle which then in
Jerusalem becomes the
temple and this suggests to us one of
the most basic and fundamental
meditations in
kabalan which is to picture around
oneself six extremities actually six
walls four four walls with a ceiling and
a and a floor which correspond to the
six continual Commandments of the Torah
which are the duties of our hearts to
have in our minds and our hearts all the
time continuously
six thoughts and and beliefs and
experiences and they are first of all
the first two of The Ten Commandments
that we heard the directly from God
which is the first one to believe in
God's existence and his Divine
Providence over everything that happens
to us in our lives and the second is to
deny any foreign power that has any
power to govern our lives and our
Destinies those are the first two mitv
and in our divine space this is called
living in Divine space or creating
around ones a Divine space which is a a
sanctuary for God
the faith in God and His Providence is
above us and the denial of any foreign
power to govern us is the bottom below
us then we have the front the right and
the left and the back the front is
theah is God Is Our God God is one God's
absolute Unity that there is no other
besides him and he is one and ultim he
is all and that's something that we have
to have in in our front in front of our
Consciousness
continuously the right in kabalah is
love the left is all these are two
important allinclusive mitv the T love
motivates all of the positive
Commandments in the Torah fear and awe
motivates all of the prohibitive which
are the negative things the things that
we should not do are forbidden to do and
finally the mitv the State of
Consciousness which is behind us is to
guard our minds from foreign thoughts of
of heresy or of lust to enter from the
subconscious the subconscious in kabalah
is the back because we don't see it so
to prevent and to guard our minds and
our hearts from Fallen negative thoughts
entering from our subconscious into our
Consciousness that is The Shield
that guards us from the back so once
more the most basic thing is simply to
sit and to close my eyes to to meditate
that I have around myself six continual
States Of Consciousness Each of which is
a Mitzvah in the T these are the all
inclus of MIT world and in this way I
create a sanctuary around myself Faith
denial of for UNG Gods love fear the
presence of one and only one God in
front of me
and that God is a god of mercy of
compassion his
compassion Hashem compassion is one and
the only attribute that is present in my
life and in back of me I have the shield
that guards my Consciousness from
foreign bad matter entering from my
subconscious with this we construct a
tabernacle around ourselves and we bring
into our hearts and into our lives and
our whole day and our whole life is full
of the joy of being together with
