Iniquity nwwo עוון
Not precisely error, iniquity is a precursor to sin. It’s the
lip placed upon the cup. This manner of expression is expected
in discussions such as this, and I don’t avoid it; but my
approach differs somewhat.
Although its effects are extremely complex, iniquity is the
involuntary consequence of the natural dynamics within Creation
that make error possible. Iniquity is comparable to the drag of
inertia that asserts itself against the photons within a stream
of light, causing the light to bend upon itself in spirals that
collapse in accretion, as mass piles upon mass. The process that
stalls in accretion is responsible for the great variety of
atomic and galactic structures.
Without
inertia, the diversity displayed in the universe would not
exist, nor would differentiation within and between species. We
are lulled into puddles of the temporal not because of innate
wickedness in our bodies or brains or because of dark emotions
arising from our hearts. Neither does error gain power over our
us through compulsions that brew within physical manifestations.
HaShem has not beheld iniquity in Ya’akov or perverseness in
Y’SharAL. Sin is natural.
We fall under the sway of error due to spiritual ambivalence.
Our hearts can reach through all these mysteries and grab hold
of the sublime if our focus is the creator, not the creation. If
we long for a thing to which we do not belong, traps of error
are baited, around and about us.
The hidden things of the heavens are reflected in that which has
been made on earth. “As above” is indeed “as below,” but in a
reverse image: reality is mirrored in the things that are made;
and so, if we flounder in our search for the gateway to things
above, it’s because we must turn our thinking inside out.
We tread water or fire in the lakes in which we swim, and we’ll
not long survive without moving forward. Unless the shore is
sighted, we’ll flounder in danger, kicking against suction as
iniquity exerts the latent force of its undertow to swallow us.
To entertain iniquity nwwo within
the soul is to risk drowning in the belief that, could we
develop adequate mechanics or capabilities of thought (which we
mistakenly believe to be the child of intelligence), we would
then be able to summons— of ourselves, by ourselves, from within
ourselves o—
the judgmental acuity w that
would then make it possible for us to pick, choose, and balance w an
efficacious diet for our private lives n.
As masters of our fate o—
able to weigh w and
to evaluate w the
options we enjoy because of merit, it would then be possible for
us to sample, at our leisure
n,
whatever promising nutrients we might happen to stumble upon
n
as we feast
n
and feed
n
to our liking
n
and to our full n.
Allow me to continue with this specious examination of the
emblems that, when read together, are said o to
mean “iniquity.” Although over-simplified w,
it’s understood that iniquity is a balancing w misconception
n, in which opinion o is valued as truth w, persuading us to
abandon caution w, even as it ensures a reversal, an overthrow
by catapult n.
Whether we enjoy true spiritual vision or are presently
wandering, lost among the blind, any progress must come in
response to the gift of faith; for our expectations must not
deprive us of the efficacious o nourishment w that
will come down from heaven. Only when we are properly fed w will
we be capable of pursuing righteous development of our fullest
potential n.
We are young birds in the nest o.
Lacking strong wings w of
our own w,
we either maintain diligent watch for the assistance HaShem
provided in the design of our species, or we fall n.
