Naso: Numbers 4:21 – 7:89

Naso: Numbers 4:21 – 7:89

Moses hears God’s voice from above the Ark cover, from between the cherubim.

By turning down the static in your mind, you are better able to hear, see, and touch the Divine mind.  In the process of fine-tuning your own receptivity to the wisdom of the supernal realms, your soul sings, visions appear, your mind is touched by God, and intuition happens.  (Wisdom, p. 70)

Saturday, May 22, 2021 – 11 Sivan 5781

Naso: Numbers 4:21 – 7:89

Sunday, May 23, 2021 – 12 Sivan 5781

Beha’alotcha: Numbers 8:1 – 12:16

The Lord speaks to Moses, to instruct Aaron regarding the lighting of the lampstand.

The inner light of God is kindled and rekindled in you with the assistance of prayer.  Prayer, in each of its forms, transmits energy.  That energy can emanate in the recitation of liturgy, in the articulation of your own language, in the silence of meditation, and in the many other ways in which you empty, open, and receive the inner light of God.  (Harmony, p. 195)

Monday, May 24, 2021 – 13 Sivan 5781

Beha’alotcha: Numbers 8:1 – 12:16

Moses and Aaron assemble the Levites, purify them, and consecrate them to serve the Lord.

Selfless service has less to do with the self than with service.  It is giving of yourself fully.  It is serving others for the sole purpose of serving God, by extending godliness and goodness into the world.  Rather than seek self-aggrandizement and praise, you receive fulfillment in serving others unconditionally.  (Compassion, p. 131)

Beha’alotcha: Numbers 8:1 – 12:16

The Lord speaks to Moses, saying “This is the rule for the Levites.  From 25 years of age, they shall participate in the work force in the service of the Tent of Meeting.”

When you serve God through God’s compassion, you empower yourself with greater strength, elevate your mind with higher thoughts, and soar with the angels.  That is what is called “complete service.” – Baal Shem Tov, (Strength, p. 143)

Beha’alotcha: Numbers 8:1 – 12:16

In the second year after the exodus from Egypt, on the 20th day of the second month, the Israelites set forth from Sinai.
