Gimel - the third letter
Gimel ג teaches us
that two opposing forces must be blended to create
a third, more complete, more perfect entity.
Emanating from the singularity of the Aleph א,
Combining with the duality of the Bet ב,
comes the synthesis known as Gimel ג.
Not the one, nor the other,
but a greater perfection through the synthesis
of the Oneness,
the Divine,
with the duality, or existence
– Malchut –
kingdom of man and woman.
Stillness
Absolute and total stillness: If something is still, it cannot be observed. Thus everything can be measured/perceived if and when it moves.
Absolute stillness is absolute form—what is also referred to as "dead matter". Essentially all that we refer to as matter, is dead in our minds. The dead tree - which we call now wood - can be burnt, bent, hacked and carved to our desire - for it is "dead". A steak - which is meat from a once sentient being, and we know refer to as "meat" - which itself is dead matter ready to be consumed. And once it becomes "dead" to us, we can treat it as "dead" matter.
In order to have any form requires energy. It needs to consume energy to stay "in form".
Vesica Pisces
Trinity
Here we have the inside, the outside and the skin that differentiates between the two. If there is an upper and a lower, then there is a "line" that is neither upper or lower that marks the place at which the upper becomes the lower and vice versa.
Three's
3 states, 3 responses, 3 reactions: positive, negative & neutral; for, against, not-sure; beginning (), end (), middle—which is everything inbetween which forms the "visible" segment.
In masculine and feminine terms, the {Vesica Pisces} becomes an expression of the interface shared between the two.
Two ways to deal with the middle: Excluded middle (used mainly in mathematics, and logic, and fascist regimes), or the included middle.
The boundaries of the space are defined (expressed) by the extremes or the limits of that space. Thus is it the extremists, what we call the fanatics, or zealots, that pull society this way or that.
The center will always have an influence, and its power is to perpetuate itself—for the power to live forever.
3 shapes
Every object produces at least three shapes: inner, outer and the border.
The inner represents the observer, the I, and the outer represents the observed, the situation. The border, or skin, demarcates a field of "awareness"/interaction - what we might refer to today as entanglement.
As above, so below (AASB)
Upper & Lower
There must be differences, otherwise things would be indistinguishable. Unless they are separated by a "brane", a curtain or barrier, that keeps them separate, though they are the same - without even realising it - for we just perceive one another through our "branes". There may be many differences, but they are so intertwined in one space, that it is impossible to tell where the one begins and the other ends. However, at some point, which we refer to as the klipah, the husk, there is a difference. We the idea that there is a difference, and/or some sort of separation between the This and the That - in this case the Upper and the Lower.
Or perhaps it behaves more like the photons in the double slit experiment, where each ray can follow any path to the upper realm, but collapses to certain one’s because of what the consciousness in the lower realm is “observing”.
Taking control
Yet, if there are differences between U & L, what are they?
One is that U has info that is essential for us to “heal” ourselves – and attain our inheritance.
This is where they connect. What is the point, the primal point of what you are doing, or the event, or the words you use? Are they feeding the upper realms, or strengthening the Lower? Our sages say that good is a choice, while evil is natural.
We have the ability, nay, the incredible gift and responsibility to affect each and everyone’s life by taking control of our own lives. Whatever one says regarding us, as human beings, whatever the comparisons one makes with the stars or the beasts, with virii or computers, we are the only living beings that are able to are consciously conscious, as far as we know. We are the only one’s we know of that make conscious and premeditated steps to control our behaviour. Even a star has no say in its destiny. The sages call this “free will”, and say that we always have a choice to do good – which generally entails going against our “natural” desires, and shaping them consciously.
Help
However, if it is true that AASB, then we cannot look to the upper realms for help as they must be in the same chaotic and unsafe state that we are in. Appealing to “them”, the Upper, would, in that case, be useless. We have to solve our own problems.
There is another possibility. That some "hero" will descend from above and save us all... We call him the Messiah - which actually also means messenger.
