Lion and Lamb
Having ceased from his own works to walk as HaShem required of him, Y’shua accepted into his hands the works of Yahushua, even as HaMashiyach had accepted the constraints of the temporal realm, setting aside the dynamics and potentials of the eternal. Both had sacrificed the life they knew to enter into the life the father had prepared for them.
As eternal Light Bearer in the temporal realm, Yahushua had taken the father’s essence up again, so that, as covering cherub, he might manifest the father’s essence before the life sparks that had been seeded by his footfalls when he opened temporal realms as the father’s Logos, his word. The father had entrusted Yahushua with his essence; and in like manner, the Light Bearer had entrusted his anointed servant Y’shua with his essence, so that all in every realm could eat of the father’s manna, from morning to morning.
As the word, the Light Bearer had opened a door and marked the pathway to Ein Sof, that well of being that is closed to mortals and to immortals, alike. It is written, “No man has seen the father at any time, nor heard his voice.” Yahushua is not of the temporal, nor is he a man. Seated in all men as ImmanuAL, he is the emanation of father Yah hy, the fullness of his essence.
The projection of HaShem into all realms, Yahushua fulfills his function as interface between the eternal and the temporal realm of heaven and its reflection in the temporal realm of earth. As interface, he serves HaShem as lawnmo ImmanuAL, meaning “God among us,” whose face is projected from the eternal realm into both spheres of Creation’s temporal realm.
The parable of the sun and moon in creation teaches that the lesser light of heaven appears by virtue of its relationship with the greater light. Except for magnitudes and origins, both lights are light; and both are made visible as they fall upon particles of darkness in the phenomenon that physics characterizes as refraction. Light must illuminate or it will remain invisible. To become visible, light must be diverted from its linear path by collision, which causes it to curve within and upon itself, producing the gleam of incandescence.
As spiritual light collides with the darkness of our mortal souls and the thick darkness of our physical bodies, God’s true light peeps through the lattice of our understandings, showing his faces from time to time through the windows of that which we are coming to be. The Great Splendor numbers our days; and in light brighter than snow, he oversees our perceptions, trimming wicks as we prepare to become lamps of divinity.
It’s not the sun or the moon we see when we look to the signs in heaven. We see the record of their light as it tracks through time. This streaming of light—some coming from galaxies far removed from our own, with contexts of which we know nothing— this rush of light in the universe is an invisible stampede until it collides with orders of light that have slowed into particles. It is such collisions that make light visible.
Because natural light is not immaterial, its collision with random particles turns all physical properties of light back, just a little, pressing upon that of which it is comprised, a phenomenon that is mirrored in the percussive vibrations of sound.
This turning process initiates and contributes to accretion, by which is generated the great varieties of the material world. Mass becomes denser as accretion continues; for accretion is at the root of atomic, molecular, and all varieties of physical matter.
Vibrations of sound collide and rebound upon themselves, much as in the process of accretion. As that process continues, sound generates heat, then non-elemental fire, then light, with its sub-atomic properties, then atoms, then molecules, then the flora and fauna of creation. Creation is like a hologram, but much more complex.
Inertia contributes to accretion and feeds the appearance of what seem to be heavy solids but are proven, upon further study, to be complex configurations of light, a complex configuration of sound.
The spinning particles within light slow in their spiraling trajectories by the drag of inertia, which scrambles their pathways, bringing the particles into collision, one with another and generating reverberation, which slows the light waves still further by deflection, scrambling particles yet again.
This process continues and builds unto the appearance of “solid” matter, which is light in masquerade. Like sound and like light before they appear, the varieties of matter are subject to inertia, which follows in pursuit. Inertia was sacrificed to start the process of creation, and its resistance factor is a constant within the creation.
Inertia would close the circle and bring creation to a grinding halt, but its stubborn resistance to starting, before creation began, became its stubborn resistance to stopping, once it was underway. Inertia is therefore the hiatus between opposing forces, such as attraction and repulsion. Bearing the fingerprint of HaShem, it began as sound: as his word. In all that is, therefore, there are wheels turning within wheels. That such wheels exhibit the properties and principles we observe within creation is proof of the godhead; for its elements are orderly and logical, not random and chaotic.
Inertia is a constant in creation. Within atoms, it generates an early appearance of the phenomenon of gravity: it serves the role of neutrons by capturing protons to facilitate attraction of electrons, not allowing them to escape until nuclear orbitals are filled to capacity. That which is seen in atomic systems is seen within solar systems, as wheels turn within wheels.
The philosophers of the East call creation Maya, which is the appearance of nebulous concepts that are very real but hide behind their gross appearances within this world. In seeking the root source of reality, practitioners of yoga can go only so far. When the they have se led into the eight petaled lotus, they become suffused with the sound of Om, which is very like the kabbalah’s Ein Sof, both of which suggest a wall dividing a timed creation from a timeless eternity.
Creation reveals to us the hidden things of HaShem. The processes supporting its principles, therefore, have theoretical antecedent in the unproven realm of Ein Sof. It is there that the Light Bearer began as covering cherub for all things in created realms. The crisis of inertia—the difference between moving and not moving—is the mystery of iniquity.
Neither good nor bad in and of itself, therefore, iniquity acts much like leaven. By its appearance, the Light Bearer was no longer precisely as he is and had been and still is within the eternal before emanation, which began both creation and time.
Among its effects, inertia modulated sound and transformed light. In chained reaction, creation’s swelling reached critical mass with the creation of man; and its climax will come with the perfection of man: not as a planetary creature, but as an angelic being. When that perfection comes upon us, we will experience a break of inertia equivalent to that first moment in the eternal, wherein it was said to the Light Bearer that he had been perfect in all his ways, but that iniquity was found in him.
He was slain from the foundations of the world, and it was said of him that he would live and die as man. The righteousness of the father is that he didn’t spare his son— his projection of himself— from that which he requires of each of us. If any of us should live and die seven hundred and seventy times before he reaches perfection, HaShem has lived and died among us untold trillions of times as the throngs of humanity fell, then rebounded, and now press upon the promise of inheritance.
Those who overcome will not lose their rewards, but it’s the father who must be praised; for he has required of himself that he should lose none of us, except for that which we overcome. The initiator of faith in us will finish that which he began; and at the end of days, all but one will be raised in perfection and will cross the threshold of time into the imperishable. We shall be satisfied with the father’s goodness.
