[!Quotation] Elliot Wolfson - אמת - p57
Rabbinic Texts - examined retrospectively from a redactional viewpoint, must take into account the pluriformity and ongoing evolution of texts that eventually become fixed, albeit relatively so, as an identifiable canon that informs the beliefs and actions of lived liturgical communities.
Note: This is what we wish to become, a nation, or collective, made up of lived liturgical communities whose beliefs are ensconced in a set of text that have become fixed
These text must speak of a different way of relating to the world and the people in it. At this point, we have attained the Tree of Knowledge. Now is the time for us to create another way of life based on the Tree of Life in order to guide us into the promised world.
Every prophet, every mystic, speak of this world. Every religion speak of it too. G-d has long promised us salvation in this World. It is not a world in which we are not human, and do not experience the human life, filled with its joys and sorrows, its ups and downs, but a world in which we use the knowledge we have gained from standing on the shoulder of our ancestors to fashion the foundations for a world in which this knowledge is beneficial to us and the world around us.
This is the way it has to be. If not, we will be flung down into an abyss of hell – chaos and darkness lit only by the flames of death and destruction. It will be like living in the time of the dragons.
We are become conscious of and thus gaining knowledge of the fourth dimension. It is manifesting in many ways, from quantum dynamics, to understanding unpredictability, indeterminability, non-local effect, entanglement, waves, fields of influence and the effects of the unseen energies surrounding (and within) us all.
If we embrace this reality – without maintaining the appropriate context – the control mechanisms that will emerge will be truly demonic. The system of control it will produce, will have the ability to extend their control into your inner space. They will manipulate you and your behaviour from the inside! Essentially, influencing, or even co-opting, normal behaviour without you even realising that you are being controlled, and that you will has been co-opted (or willingly given) by an external force, whose only purpose is to perpetuate their power and grandeur.
