The Apple and the Parshah

Ever hear of the fruit tree? It’s an amazing invention, isn’t it?

I’m sitting here trying to get myself into a topic to speak about, and as I ponder the first words and find myself stuck, I pick up an apple and choose to ponder about it. I focus my thought to find a connection between it and the Parsha, and there it goes. Read on to find out what I pondered, as I am writing it directly from my thoughts. This is not me reviewing an old thought. The words you are reading are directly at the pace and the sequence that I’m thinking of while in front of the screen.

I’m just being an observer of the thoughts I’m having and slowing them down enough to be able to command my fingers to write them down here. This is simply the intention behind my action. It becomes a little annoying for those who aren’t accustomed to deep thought. It shakes them up when they need to observe something for a while. This is the act of listening while observing, and listening requires focus. Focus requires discipline, and of course discipline needs a direction to follow. Otherwise, for what cause would it be needed? This following act must have a way to get to it, and the way to get to it and attain it is through a body.

I’m not telling secrets here. This is simple basic human knowledge that you simply missed its knowledge. You see, the way wisdom works is like this: During the stages of pregnancy, the Angel from heaven, the one that sat with you under a red blanketed sky. You were so deep in the light, you knew it all. It is like a download from the computer to the chip. You are gaining access to mega tons of knowledge. You live in the spiritual realms, since, “Wherever your thoughts are, there you are!” You lived in the purest of lights, and were embedded with the light of the faith that Avraham Avinu our dear and great father. You are being drawn to be part of this lineage and you merit the knowledge of the universe.

Unlike those from other faiths, they aren’t lucky enough to have parents teaching them right from wrong. Within one generation their legacies fall apart. They are mirrors to our souls so that we can remember the other side. There is hope for them though, conversion. We are a family spanning for generations, since we know that we grew up in the house of one father. We have no problem inviting you to the party, but first you have to be fascinated by us. Now this body can have a direction to follow, and a discipline to acquire. A discipline that will choose to be focused and fixated to listen and observe the Holy Jewish nation! Actually you will be our teachers like Onkelos. What a regal name to say, On-Ke-Lus.”

מלשון להלל ו”לקלס ה’ אחד.”

The more you learn of wisdom, the more Jewish you become. Just as you are taught knowledge by your father and mother in real life, with Chochmah and Binah that lead you in a specific direction, so too will you be taught to see Hashem through the thoughts of the father and mother.

You know, we grow up and see the world in different ways. Each kid grows up in a family with either a financial situation going on, or where there would be sadness among the parents. Some will experience illness and some richness. Each kid to their own life, as they live to become products of this environment. Their outlook is different from the rest of the world around them. They actually feel very alone in their respective situations. This is how and who we are as humans. We are literally seeing only out of our eyes in........
