Lag B'Omer

Tonight one counts the 33rd day of the omer, which is Lag B'Omer.
The literalists teach that the omer itself is a period of mourning for the 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva who died because they became ego maniacial studying Torah. However, if one delves deeper into the energy elements which comprise the omer this explanation only presents the paradox. The paradox is, how could these 24,000 students who spent all of their time studying Torah become so full of themselves? Ah. Because they thought that they were better than everybody else, you see. What is the energy phenomonon which caused this? That's the nitty gritty. Because the energy always comes first. An energy of non humility. An energy of ego.
On the 33rd day of the omer the dying stopped.
Was the omer in play before this incident? Yes it was, because omer is in Torah, and these events occurred around 70 AD, right before the destruction of the Second Temple.
Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, author of the Zohar, also passed from the world on Lag B'Omer.
The religious spiritualists teach that Rabbi Shimon chose to leave the physical world on this particular day because the energy needed to be rectified.
Rabbi Shimon passed from this world in a pillar of fire. His grave is in Meron, Israel. On Lag B'Omer Israel is ablaze with bonfires commemorating Rabbi Shimon's Yhertzite (Death Anniversary). And the song "Bar Yohai " {I know this one - } Bar Yohai nimshachta asherecha shemen saison mehaverecha - is sung. One stays up and studies Rabbi Shimon's teachings, which is Zohar.

One year I found a portion in Zohar, I believe it was Mishpatim, in which Rabbi Shimon says, on my day ask me this question. It has something to do with each seed sown has 52 manifestations. I don't remember the direct quote. So, I asked Rabbi Shimon. The explanation was that of limitless parallel universes.

I've gone round and round with the available teachings.
During the Omer, you get a ride around the Sephirot.
It is like a revolving pendulum. With each swing of the pendulum, the central axis is passed. Whether left or right, you always need center. effect -----> cause ------> effect and effect<----- cause <----- effect <------. Endless. The pendulum is revolving, like the Earth on her axis. But it is so multi dimensional our brains can't even conceive of it. It is all about the mating of the higher realms and the lower realms, and the manifestions reverberating within the all. We can't be complacent in the physical world.
So,
where does this leave us?
Somewhere
Everywhere?
Nowhere?
Matisyahu says :
we are something we are nothing

and I'm listening to Bruce singing

Moses stood on the Red Sea Shore
Smote the warden with a two by four
Pharoah's army got drownd ed
O Mary Don't You Weep.

The teachings never leave, they are all over. Being sung and written. We just need to remember, push aside the dogma, {leave the ritual} know what it is that one is connecting to, and move forward.

What happened with Rabbi Akiva's students was that their ego over took their sense of the divine continuity and manifestation. A Lot of Ego Abounds in today's society. Human beings don't seem to understand that the effect affects. I'm so sick and tired of having people say to me, well, I'll worry about it when it affects me. It is. It is affecting us, in every breath we take.
In order to achieve, you need to take your self out of your self, and reveal your light. Put yourself in somebody elses's shoes. Know that their reality is different from your reality. Yet it all fits together.

This peptide producing carbon based life form doesn't claim to understand. But she likes to muse, she likes secrets, and she believes in energy, and the limitless manifestations of energy.

Why do I feel the pain?
I keeping on vaving (The Hebrew Letter Vav) myself. That's the letter that connects the higher to the lower, and that is what is happening. The letter is available to us during the month of Iyar. That's our home base.
The energy needs to be filtered, otherwise we , being so physical, would blow up. Kabbalah teachings are very explicit about the hierarchy of the energy.
Everything that goes on in the Divine Triad, Keter, Chochmah, and Binah manifests in the lowest of the worlds which is Malchut. Binah illuminates both Chochmah and Malchut. Binah is the feminine principle.
In all the teachings about Rabbi Shimon sitting in his cave for 13 years, along with Rabbi Aba and Rabbi Eleazar, there is never any mention of women. There had to have been women. Because the higher teachings say so. Rabbi Shimon himself says so in Zohar. How can this be so blatently left out? Ahh. Still to be revealed. Maybe that's what happened to the students. They were all males. No pairing of opposites to achieve the midpoint. Judaism has a lot of male bonding rituals. They still haven't learned. Every tradition says that only theirs is correct, no other. Hawg wash. When you watch it is still all men. They're going against their own spiritual teachings, so something is bound to be awry.
Another tradition of Lab B'Omer is to get married, (the mating), and to cut the hair of a 3 year old male child for the first time.

There is no such thing as disconnection. There is only a constant state of creation.
