Dedication

This PaRaDiSe Teaching for the Age of Empowerment essay is dedicated to all those who are aging and hurting. Pray they be blessed by finding relief from hurting and peace of mind soon, and eternal life in heaven in due time. As legs shut down, the third eye opens up. Please share with those whom you care for who might be in like situation that may they receive the creative self-therapy blessing of empowerment from God.

Caveat

The following approach of creative-S / holistic-D, systemic-R and heuristic-P on PaRaDiSe Teaching for the Age of Empowerment contains kabbalistic, theological, philosophical and scientific substance that some people may find unsettling to their beliefs, values and interests. Listener discretion, study in groups, and taking it by sections is strongly recommended. Also, follow along reading the text while listening to the podcast may proof to be helpful.

Given its importance and copious tagging and gematria, the text is included on the website PaRaDiSism dot org next to the podcast posts. The intention is that this essay of “The Age of Empowerment of the PaRaDiSe Teaching” serve as intro treatise to inaugurate Postmodernity. The master key opens all locked doors, without it you’re out of luck.

Quotations

Pirkei Avot Chapters of the Fathers 2:1 “It is not your responsibility to finish the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.”

Winston Churchill: “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing after they’ve tried everything else.”

Science trial and error: “Trying of one thing and then another until something finally works.”

Kitchen sense: “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.”

Mea culpa

I produced two episodes on theological philosophy, and found out that no one is interested in things they can’t put their hands on. Also on political philosophy, and by the look of things people are sick of hearing about politics, or else they’re faithfully married to their sweetheart Party. So, now I’m writing about the Torah of Moses directly, about what everybody wants to know at the end of the day. Maybe this was the theme I always wanted to write about all along but was afraid to do.

Long ago things took the wrong entrance to the labyrinth which is the Bible. My calling is to find the right door, and not like scholarship looking for any door, or for doors. But I must confess that the Universal Principle of Empowerment which I recovered has to be the simplest all the while the most general, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to find it given my limited knowledge of both Hebrew and the Bible Torah. This only goes to prove the classic case of beginner’s luck. But this is my raison d’être, I can find no other.  

The usual complaints I’ve heard about my work are that it’s “too simple”, that “the whole-S / is made of triad-PRD parts”, and at the same time, that it’s “too general”, because it pretty much covers everything on the face of the earth and on the heavens above. Well, obviously it has to be the simplest to be the most general, or universal. So, there you have it, this proves my point, correct except for errors or omissions.

Now to my credentials, or lack thereof. I’m not a rabbi, nor a pastor, preacher, nor a scholar, nor a specialist. I did physics in college and graduate school in physics, philosophy and business administration. In business I was in the medical devices field back in Mexico City and in Austin AISD, Texas I held a modest job teaching science to at-risk students till my retirement.

This brings up the question, what name would fit my job description? For starts, I’m not sage-D, though part philosopher-R and part scientist-P. But, since I subscribe to PaRaDiSe Common Sense, would the name paradisian be linguistically acceptable?

Executive Summary

The idea is that we don’t need the coming of the Messiah to be blessed for relief from hurting, for finding peace of mind, and everlasting life in passing. The coming or not coming of the Messiah will happen or not, no matter what I say or do. What I’m saying is that in the meantime we could be integrating civilization instead of shattering it more to accelerate its coming.

In any case, all we have to do is chat with God to get the blessing of creative self-therapy of empowerment. Just like going to school, all you have to do is listen to your teacher to learn. And to think that we could have been communicating with God all this time and didn’t know it. The opportunity has been there all this time just waiting to be recovered. Everything changed with primeval Kabbalah of the Universal Principle of Empowerment of the PaRaDiSe teaching. Suddenly, turning the master key opens the whole treasure chest. Everything downstream refers by cascading and flow to the headwaters at Genesis 1:1a/alef.  

The foundations for chatting with God are establish in Genesis 1:1a/alef, then commanded and spelled out in Deuteronomy 6:1, 4-9. The sweetspot is in Deuteronomy 6:8. The background is the Takeaway of the Bible in Genesis 1:1a/alef. Deuteronomy 6:1 serves as link between both sources by mentioning the Hammitzvah Commandment One. There are a few illustrative slides in the text as learning aides.

The procedure for chatting with God is explained in four sweeps. Firstly, reading the texts Plain–P. Secondly, reading the texts with comments Reflection–R. Thirdly, reading the texts with gematria Discover–D. Now we have the necessary conditions-PRD in place, what comes next is closure with sufficient condition of Secret-S /. Fourthly, and last reading is Secret–S /.

Homework

No prior knowledge is assumed other than familiarity and interest with the quest of chatting with God for the creative self-therapy blessing of empowerment. All concepts and vocabulary required will be provided in due time. Also, since we’re starting smack in the middle, and not at the beginning, in order to highlight its importance in detriment to systemic creative exposition, we will have to leave the theory for homework to the listener.   

The assignment is to consult my self-published books at Amazon to get a good handle on the empowering approach of PaRaDiSe. These books are PaRDeSism Human Science 101 published in 2018, PaRaDiSe the Age of Unveilment of Genesis 1:1a/alef in 2019, Principle of World Caring in 2020, and Saving Creation in 2021. For ease of understanding, there are seventy (70) or so videos on YouTube on topics from the books. Additionally, there are the other podcasts in this series on inaugurating PaRaDiSe Posmodernity of Empowerment at my website PaRaDiSism dot org.

It is not as hard as it seems. Welcome aboard, just follow along and it’ll be alright.

Preamble

The Bible is written in code, but the code is simply PaRaDiSe common sense. Let’s take it from the top and work our way downwards. The Bible is written in cryptic language. To the good listener, few words suffice. But this only works if there’s an all-encompassing code of empowering knowledge as easy as pie. The takehome message of the Torah is found at Genesis 1:1a/alef as Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית). It deciphers as Creator / Creative / Creation. This means that our role is as Creatives linking Creation with the Creator, and not as mere creatures of Creation. The acronym PaRaDiSe is but the structure of creativity of thought-S / language-PRD. This is saying that a thought-S / in us is whole, but unfolds triadically in language as subject-D, verb-R and object/adjective-P.

The modality of presentation is background, link, frame of reference and theme. After the general scope and having identified the sweetspot at Deuteronomy 6:8, we’ll focus on unraveling it all. Let’s start with the link in Deuteronomy 6:1-3. The theme of Vezo’th Hammitzvah And this is the Commandment One (וְזֹ֣את הַמִּצְוָ֗ה) in Deuteronomy 6:1 is introduced at the head of the opening verse to leave no room for doubt as to the subject of the passage. Commandment One means one in unity not in quantity. Though it is mentioned and taken as a given, it is not defined there. For this we need to go to the background thesis at Genesis 1:1a/alef. These verses Deuteronomy 6:2-3 restate that He will do His part if we do ours, that it will go well as promised to the forefathers. Next follows the frame of reference in Deuteronomy 6:4-7.

Finally, the theme in Deuteronomy 6:8 of the Chat is laid out in no uncertain terms. In a nutshell, be creatives to see the Creator in Creation Who’s remained hidden in plain sight all this time. The chat with God ensues as letotafot drippings (לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת) of PaRaDiSe Common Sense. Figuratively speaking, as the “third eye” in meditation.  

Totafot Drippings as Reminders

The smoking gun evidence of the puzzle is figuring out the meaning of the word totafot drippings (טטפט) which appears in Deuteronomy 6:8, as amply mentioned above and in what follows. It is at the heart of interpreting it as creative selftherapy blessing of empowerment more so than as tefillin phylacteries. Or perhaps reaching an amiable compromise-R, we would have creative selftherapy blessing of empowerment-D and tefillin phylacteries-P.

In any case, doing the research on Sefaria I came up with the following findings to settle the matter once and for all. Firstly, it says that the word totafot drippings (טט-פט) is composed out of two roots, on the one hand, tot made up of the same two letters tet-tet (טט), denotes “two” in Katpi, and on the other hand, fot made up of the two letters peh tet (פת) in Afriki likewise denotes “two”. This is saying that the word totafot drippings is composed of four categories of two sets each. This suggests that the solution to the missing piece is precisely, on the one hand, as Secret-S/, Discover-D, and on the other hand, as Reflection-R, Plain-P, and jointly as in PaRaDiSe teaching.

Secondly, and this is just as conclusive, not merely suggestive as above. It happens to be the case that in Exodus 13:16 when referring to the liberation from slavery in Egypt, the same statement which we encountered in Deuteronomy 6:8 appears. Namely, “Ukshartam le’oth, al yadekha; vehayu letotafot, beyn eynekha: And bind them as a sign, onto your hand; and will be as totafot drippings, between your eyes”. But, additionally, the same verse with zakharon reminders appears in Exodus 13:9 instead as totafot drippings of Exodus 13:16.

But just to leave no room for doubt, we’ll quote both side by side to close our case. Bear in mind that the relevant part is the same in Deuteronomy 6:8 and in Exodus 13:16.

Exodus 13:9. 

13:9 Vehayu lekha. And it shall be to you.

וְהָיָה֩ לְךָ֨ לְא֜וֹת עַל־יָדְךָ֗ וּלְזִכָּרוֹן֙ בֵּ֣ין עֵינֶ֔יךָ לְמַ֗עַן תִּהְיֶ֛ה תּוֹרַ֥ת יְהֹוָ֖ה בְּפִ֑יךָ כִּ֚י בְּיָ֣ד חֲזָקָ֔ה הוֹצִֽאֲךָ֥ יְהֹוָ֖ה מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃

And this shall serve you as a sign on your hand, and as reminders (zakharon) between your eyes, in order that the Teaching of the YHVH may be in your mouth; that with a mighty hand YHVH freed you from Egypt.

~

Exodus 13:16

13:16 Vehayu le’oth. And it shall be as sign.

וְהָיָ֤ה לְאוֹת֙ עַל־יָ֣דְכָ֔ה וּלְטוֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֣ין עֵינֶ֑יךָ כִּ֚י בְּחֹ֣זֶק יָ֔ד הוֹצִיאָ֥נוּ יְהֹוָ֖ה מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃        

And it shall be as a sign upon your hand, and as a totafot drippings between your eyes; that with a mighty hand, YHVH freed us from Egypt.

Comment: That is, by comparing and contrasting we can safely conclude that the unknown word totafot drippings actually means zakharon reminders.

From the above we can conclude two things. Firstly, that the double twos match with our whole-S / Triad-PRD, as one over three (1/3) equals four (4). Secondly, we can conclude that the unknown totafot drippings is the same as zakharon reminders of our liberation from bondage in Egypt. That is, that the PaRaDiSe application teaching is a tool to break the chains and harness empowering knowledge, that creative selftherapy empowerment is reminding us of freedom from bondage. Together, that the unknown totafot drippings as zakharon reminders is obtained by chatting with God as the creative selftherapy blessing empowerment.

Sneak Preview of Chat with God

The sweetspot of chatting with God is in Deuteronomy 6:8. The thesis statement is the One Commandment to chat with God for the creative self-therapy blessing of empowerment. The hermeneutics of the Torah Bible Teaching (תורה) is laid out in no uncertain terms so no one can miss it. And there’s no way of missing it if we only listen to our hearts, instead of everything else, including sermons from pulpits and what not.

In what follows, I’ll give a sneak preview of Chatting with God to give you a taste of what follows. Later on, after a l-o-n-g introduction we’ll take it up again and present it in a more systemic creative way. Throughout the following I will freely use the PaRaDiSe App teaching by inserting the consonants of the acronym S / P R D nomenclature to identify the pieces of the master key as well as an aid to understanding it.

In what follows for ease of recalling and understanding I’ll mention the verse number, the opening few words in Hebrew and English, as well as the corresponding PaRaDiSe tags as cues. This preview solely glosses the key verse of Deuteronomy 6:8. And don’t worry if you don’t understand everything that’s said. It will all be clarified later on in the comprehensive presentation.

Deuteronomy 6:8 Ukshartam. And bind them. Rr => Drr Rrr Prr

וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם לְא֖וֹת עַל־יָדֶ֑ךָ וְהָי֥וּ לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין עֵינֶֽיךָ׃

Ukshartam le’oth, al yadekha; vehayu letotafot, beyn ‘eynekha:

Bind them as a sign, onto your hand; and they shall be drippings (reminders), between your eyes:

Comment: Including the PaRaDiSe tags, this reads as follows: Bind them as a sign-S/, onto your hand-Drr; and will be as drippings (reminders)-Rrr between your eyes-Prr: The double rr in the tags means that it’s a triad of triad of triads.

Comment: The first part is Ukshartam le’oth, ‘al yadekha Bind them as a sign-S/, onto your hand-Drr. The key word to analyze is le’oth as a sign.

Now I’ll include the gematria for each word as well as the associated meaning. That is, Lammed L (ל) bind/teach thirty (30), Alef A (א) ox head/leader one (1), Vav Ve  (ו) add/secure six (6), Tav T (ת) mark/sign four hundred (400). In numeracy it’s four three seven (437) reduces to one four (14) reduces to five (5). (30 + 1 + 6 + 400 = 437 => 14 => 5). In literacy it means obey binding taught, then you lead to secure the sign. This seems to signify to use the PaRaDiSe teaching application to reveal Postmodernity of Empowerment. In other words, it says to take charge as Creatives regarding Civilization as He is in charge regarding Creation. We’ll have more to say about this later on once we’re provided with the required context.

The mapping of the Sign unto PaRaDiSe nomenclatureis Lammed L-S /, Alef A-D, Vav V-R , and Tav T-P. The letter Vav V (ו) is normally used as the connective “and”. The letter Tav T (ת) is normally used as plural feminine ending, and along with the Vav V (ו) is VavTav VT (ות). The Alef A (א) in this context signifies the name of the Creator. Lastly, the Lammed L (ל) signifies teach or bind or authority.  

In plain English, it consists of two sections. First section, our input in the Chat. Second section, His output in the Chat. First section reads, bind PaRaDiSe–S /, to your hand-D. The euphemism unto our hand refers to placing it within our power to make things happen. That it’s up to us-D is emphasized in ‘al yadekha unto your hand. The number five (5) that we found in the numeracy alludes to the five fingers of the one (1) hand. As PaRaDiSe it’s Thumb finger-S (Index finger as forward slash /)  Middle finger-D, Ring finger-R and Little finger-P. In any case, the first part of the verse corresponds to our part of the bargain. If we do our part, then the second part of the verse which corresponds to God proceeds. The number five (5)  of the sign corresponding to the letter Heh H (ה) means to reveal.    

Second section reads, is vehayu letotafot-R, beyn eynekha-P and will be drippings (reminders)-R, between your eyes-P. In the greater context of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 we go from triad to triad of triad of triads. That is, the tag S/ stays the same as S/, but D goes to Drr, R goes to Rrr, and P goes to Prr.

Comment: In a nutshell, this is saying that if we do our part as creatives using the PaRaDiSe application teaching, then the Creator will be providing cues in the chat of the creative self-therapy blessing of empowerment. In our nomenclature, on the one hand, if we’re the joining forward (/) slash between the Creator-S / and Creation-PRD, as in S / P R D, then, on the other hand, we’re on track to integrating civilization by providing a helping hand in saving Creation. And it might be said, by added measure we would be rewarded with salvation-S / as part of the package deal.

Bible Study Rules

Everything has a reason for being in the Torah Bible Teaching. Our business is to figure it out. Not everything goes when dealing with the Bible, distinct from an ordinary conversation with friends or family in a casual environment. There are strict guidelines that need to be observed as explicitly stated in the Holy Scriptures themselves. For the sake of expediency, I will cut short the verses and paraphrase where advisable.  

The first condition is stated in Deuteronomy 4:1.

4:1 Ve’atah Israel. And now Israel.

וְעַתָּ֣ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל שְׁמַ֤ע אֶל־הַֽחֻקִּים֙ וְאֶל־הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָֽנֹכִ֛י מְלַמֵּ֥ד אֶתְכֶ֖ם לַעֲשׂ֑וֹת לְמַ֣עַן תִּֽחְי֗וּ וּבָאתֶם֙ וִֽירִשְׁתֶּ֣ם אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֧ר יְהֹוָ֛ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֲבֹתֵיכֶ֖ם נֹתֵ֥ן לָכֶֽם׃

And now, O Israel, listen-S / to the laws-D and rules-R that I am instructing you to observe-P, so that you may live to enter and occupy the land that YHVH, the God of your fathers, is giving you:

Comment: This is saying in no uncertain terms to thoroughly study the whole Torah Bible Teaching (תורה). That is, that letters, numbers, words, sentences and all else contained therein counts.

The second condition is found in Deuteronomy 4:2.

4:2 Lo’thosífu. Do not add.

לֹ֣א תֹסִ֗פוּ עַל־הַדָּבָר֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָנֹכִי֙ מְצַוֶּ֣ה אֶתְכֶ֔ם וְלֹ֥א תִגְרְע֖וּ מִמֶּ֑נּוּ לִשְׁמֹ֗ר אֶת־מִצְוֺת֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָנֹכִ֖י מְצַוֶּ֥ה אֶתְכֶֽם׃

Do not add to the word which I command you, nor shall you subtract from it; to observe dialogue with the commandments, of YHVH your God, that I command you:

Comment: These point-blank states to stick to the words of the text by not adding or subtracting things that are not there to begin with.

The third condition is found in Deuteronomy 5:29.

5:29 Ushmartem la’asoth. And guard to do.

וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֣ם לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֛ה יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם אֶתְכֶ֑ם לֹ֥א תָסֻ֖רוּ יָמִ֥ין וּשְׂמֹֽאל׃

You shall be careful to do as has commanded YHVH your God to you; do not stray right or left:

Comment: This reinforces the first conditional stating not to opine on matters of knowledge empowerment.

The fourth condition is rabbinical, not of biblical origin, and is the blessing read before Limud Torah Bible Study.

Baruch ‘attah. Blessed are You.

Baruch attah Adonai, Elohéynu mélekh ha’olam, asher kiddeshánu, bemitzvotav vetzivvánu, la’asok be’divrey Torah.

Blessed are You, YHVH our God, king of the universe, who hallows us with commandments, commanding us, to engage with the words of Torah.

Comment: In modern terms to engage means to be intentionally and attentively at one with God when reading the Holy Scriptures. Nothing less will do, no multitasking allowed. It differs from reading literature or studying science. It is in a class or category all by itself.

Now that we’re well versed with the conditions to chat with God, we can move ahead. In our terminology, the Hammitzvah the One Commandment to be at One with God is Whole-S / Triad-PRD, or PaRaDiSe teaching for short.  

The PaRaDiSe App Teaching

There is the model of being Creatives embodied in the Hammitzvah One Commandment (הַמִּצְוָ֗ה) Deuteronomy 6:1, 8 and then there’s the simplified version as the PaRaDiSe Application teaching to address our concerns on a daily basis. The App must both demonstrate that it is the case that things conform to it, and also help to explain things by its exemplification. In other words, it has both explicative as well as predictive power. In what follows we’ll do both. The Hammitzvah Commandment One is the master key to engaging with the Torah Bible Teaching.

Please note that the PaRaDiSe App teaching is not a cookie-cutter. Rather it’s the creative-S / approach consisting of holistic-D, systemic-R and heuristic-P triad components for modeling knowledge empowerment. It is like an organism growing out of a single cell when in contact with the environment.

Summary of creative self-therapy blessing of Empowerment

By way of summary. In the chat, if we’re creative, then God will bless us. If Triad-PRD, then Blessing of empowerment-S /. And negatively, if not Triad-PRD, then not Blessing-S /. If yes, then yes, if not, then no. Pretty straightforward. There is necessary condition-PRD and sufficient condition-S / for PaRaDiSe.

That is to say, if we keep the triad components P–R–D separate, then there’s no triad-PRD, hence no forthcoming blessing of empowerment-S /. By way of example. If the component parts of P–R–D are integrated into teaching as the triad-PRD of Religion-D Philosophy-R Science-P, then there’s blessing of empowerment-S /. Contrariwise, if you keep Religion-D separate from Philosophy-R separate in turn from Science-P, then Creativity-PaRaDiSe is simply not integrated, and the blessing of empowerment-S / simply doesn’t occur.

In this context blessing of empowerment means returning to be one with the Creator as in Creation by having been creatives on Earth. If we haven’t been creatives on Earth, then we’re just creatures, part of Creation not having transcended it as creatives. We would remain part of Creation not of the Creator as having been just creatures like the rest of nature out there in the wild on the margins of civilization. In plain vernacular. Just because we domesticate a pet and say it’s part of the family, that doesn’t make it part of culture, it’s still part of nature.

If we’re creative here, we will continue as part of the Creator in passing. If we’re not creatives here, we’ll continue as creatures of Creation in passing. We have to bridge the gap-/ by being creatives-PRD of the Creator-S, or else fall short as creatures-P–R–D of Creation-PRD.

All the above are general statements, of course, universal affirmations. As to how it applies to each individual person, what it means to each file case, is certainly beyond the scope of this essay and my paygrade. No claim whatsoever is made from the universal principle to specific cases regarding salvation and everlasting life in heaven when it comes to blessing from the Creator.

This is just the statement of the Universal Principle of Empowerment for integration of civilization. This Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) was revealed to humanity through Moses by the Creator, as in Genesis 1:1a/alef.

PaRaDiSe Common Sense Model

With love I’ve engaged the Torah Bible Teaching text with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my might. The resulting Model takes things to their ultimate consequences, fall or rise who may. This is simply what I came up with. Of course, it’s subject to revision by peers for errors and omissions.    

As physicist and friend of knowledge, I am inclined to modeling. The saying goes that if you can’t picture it then you’re not understanding it. A graphic model is included in the text accompanying the oral version. Actually, there are three or more slides. The first is the universal of Genesis 1:1a/alef, the second is the general unfolding of Deuteronomy 6:1, 4-9, and the third is the specific unfolding of Deuteronomy 6:8. The first consists of the Ellipse and the Main Triad. The second is the unfolding of this one unto the same Ellipse-S / and iterative triad of triads of triads. The third, specifically as triad of triads.

The idea is that things start from a principle, like a ripple in a pond has a beginning. The problem is that data-P lacking principle-D is not knowledge-R, but frivolous opinion-S/. Things have a beginning, and from this point the rest derives by following through. It’s the applications of the model to real life that makes theorizing worthwhile as we’ll have occasion to see soon enough.

I will cut to the chase and solely provide the conclusions of the PaRaDiSe Model as the Universal Principle of Empowerment. Succinctly, the PaRaDiSeApp teaching is an acronym consisting of Secret–S / Discover–D, Reflect–R, and Plain-P. By way of example this comes across intuitively as Life–S / Spiritual–D, Mental–R, and Physical-P. Or else as Being–S / Imaginary–D, Creative–R, and Real-P. Or alternatively, it comes across as Whole-S / Deep-D, Reflective-R Plain-P, and so on. The Universal Principle of Empowerment states that the whole is made of triad parts, succinctly, as Whole-S / Triad-PRD of PaRaDiSe Common Sense.

Now, regarding innovation, instead of using the x-y-z tri-axes of mathematics, I use the x-y-hypotenuse triad-axes Frame of Reference of hermeneutics. Anthropomorphically speaking, the eyes are the x- and y-axes, and the hypotenuse is the z-axis. Between the eyes is the third eye of the hypotenuse. I make use of complex descriptions. Vertical imaginary y-axis Spiritual-D. Horizontal real x-axis Physical-P. Inclined complex hypotenuse-axis Mental-R, instead of the z-axis. The hypotenuse between our eyes is the heart in meditation.

Primeval and Medieval Kabbalah

An observation of importance. The PaRaDiSe Common Sense Model comes from primeval PaRaDiSe kabbalah, as distinct from medieval PaRDeS kabbalah. In passing let me say a few words to compare and contrast these two shades of Kabbalah. Kabbalah Reception (קַבָּלָה) refers to the handing down of the tradition of the Torah from Moses to Joshua, to the Elders, to the prophets and so on. Sagism holds the view that the Oral Torah is complementary to the Torah, henceforth Written Torah. The creed of the “decline of the generations” in Rabbinism ensures a fence around the dogma of Oral Torah. But we won’t get into this delicate issue here. I mention it because medieval PaRDeS Kabbalah seems to derive from the Oral Torah tradition.

Since we’re developing the primeval PaRaDiSe Kabbalah, the previous other one would then be the medieval PaRDeS Kabbalah. The medieval one comes from the Dark Middle Ages and not surprisingly is highly mystical and mixes many Greek elements and other outside ones as well. It is full of poetic and mystic imagery. It takes after the TaNaKh Bible as a whole. That is, from the Torah Teaching (תורה), but also from the Prophets Nevi’im (נביאים) and the Writings Ketuvim (כְּתוּבִים‎).

In other words, the primeval PaRaDiSe Kabbalah is creative-S / holistic-D systemic-R heuristic-P as S / PRD, whereas the medieval PaRDeS Kabbalah is mystical / dogmatic. Mystical means supernatural. The opposite of mystical is sound, or natural. Kabbalah yes, but primeval not medieval, natural not mystical, creative not encyclopedic, empowerment not bondage, and so on.

By contrast to the medieval PaRDeS Kabbalah which comes from all the Bible and outside sources as well, primeval PaRaDiSe Kabbalah comes solely after the Torah Teaching (תורה). It is pure unadulterated straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. That is, it comes solely from binding, on the one hand, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet Alef A (א) one (1) ox-head, and on the other hand, the first word of the Creation Story BeReshIth InBeginningOf (בראשית) four (4). Then, together fuse them into Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) one over four  (1/4), as in Genesis 1:1a/alef.

To have a better grasp of things, let’s do the gematria of PaRaDiSe. The gematria of the letter alef A (א) is one (1) meaning ox-head, and stands on its own, meaning that it is free-standing. The gematria of BeReshIth InBeginningOf (בראשית) is four (4). More fully, altogether it is Be- two (2) tent, –Re- two hundred (200) man’s head, –alef– one (1) leader, –shin- three hundred (300) sharp, –yod- ten (10) hand, –tav four hundred (400) sign. The numeracy as a whole, summing gives nine one three (913) which reduces to one three (13) which reduces to four (4). (2 + 200 + 1 + 300 + 10 + 400 = 913 =>13 => 4) The literacy corresponds to the letter Dalet D (ד) four (4) meaning door entrance. However, since the word is a triad, we need to take it separately for meaning.

First part Be-. Be- two(2) in house. So, we have for Be- In- combining numeracy and literacy meaning in house.

Second part –Resh-. Re two hundred (200) top, alef one (1) leader, and shin three hundred (300) sharp. Numeracy gives five zero one (501) which reduces to six (6) (200 +1 + 300 = 501=> 6) which represents the letter Vav Be (ו) six (6) meaning secure. Literacy, we have top, leader, and sharp. So now we have for Resh combining numeracy and literacy as top, leader, sharp, and secure.

Third part –Ith. Yod ten (10) hand, tav four hundred (400) sign. Numeracy gives four one zero (410) which reduces to five (5) (10 + 400 = 410=>5), which represents the letter Heh H (ה) five (5) meaning reveal. Literacy, as hand and sign. Combined numeracy and literacy we have hand, sign, reveal.

Now combining first, second, and third parts of BeReshIth InBeginningOf (בראשית) we have the following: In house; Top leader sharp secure; Hand sign reveal. My take is that BeReshIth InBeginningOf (בראשית) means inside us, is reason, to uncover with.

Together, my interpretation of Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) would then be God / Heart Reason Might, as well as God / Entrance, so that combined as God / Entrance is with Heart Reason Might. Later on in verse Deuteronomy 6:5 we see that heart, soul, and might is Love. Therefore, finally we have Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) as PaRaDiSe to mean God-S / Love-PRD.

The medieval Kabbalah finds expression from nature as the Etz Chaim Tree of Life (עֵץ חַיִּים) of the ten (10) Sephirot Emanations (סְפִירוֹת). By contrast, the primeval Kabbalah finds expression from culture as the Triad of Empowerment, the right triangle of knowledge. They are equivalent in that ellipse is one (1) and triad of triads is nine (9), adding one (1) plus nine (9) gives ten (10) which ultimately reduces to one (1). We’ll leave it there for the time being.   

 Empowerment, Chat, Prayer, Meditation and Blessing

At this point you might be asking how the separate pieces out there of Blessing, Chat, Prayer, Meditation, and Deeds combine in a unified picture. We can solve this riddle with the help of the PaRaDiSe application teaching. In our understanding of things, the puzzle is solved as Empowerment-S (Chat as forward slash /) Pray-D, Meditate-R Blessing-P. 

By way of illustrative example. Love is life in human disguise which is why it exerts such a fascination in us all. The key to the mystery using our PaRaDiSe application teaching is God-S / Love-PRD, with Love-PRD as Affection-D Friendship-R Sex-P.

Facing and Chatting with God

The question is can we or can’t we talk to or see God? From the look of things, it seems that we can talk “to” Him but no “see” Him. This is so because, on the one hand, in Exodus 33:11-16 it says that “God would speak with Moses face-to-face, as one man speaks with another”. The stress is on the connective “with” or “to”. Whereas, on the other hand, in Exodus 33:18-22 it says “But, you cannot see Me and live” and “then I will take My hand away and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen.” The stress is on the verb “see”.  

My take on the above verses is that no one can see the face-S / of God, but His back is okay to see, and live-PRD to talk about it. This means that we can both “see” His back and be “with” God. The question is how? This is like the Venn diagrams of two mutually almost contradictory sets with a slim intersection between them. And in the meantime, what can we do in this life? Well, what we can do in this life is to be with God but only seeing His back, so to speak. This sounds to me like chatting with God. Later on, we’ll see the connection between chatting with  God and the PaRaDiSe application teaching.

Anthropological background

The Torah was given during the Archaic Age and was written in a language for an agricultural society barely past the stage of hunters and gatherers. Their technology was one of a pair of oxen or mules for pulling the plow. The scenario, on the one hand, is that the Torah was revealed three thousand plus years ago to an agrarian society in the Middle East, and on the other hand, it was meant to hold for all time, people, and places. The challenge is how to have the Torah relevant with the changing times to contemporary societies.

To approach this, we need to start by recognizing the Revelation of the Torah Bible as the Teaching of Empowerment. Empowerment-S /, such that opinion based on data-P is not knowledge-R if it lacks principle-D. What is the Universal Principle of Empowerment which gives support to the right meaning of the Bible? The answer is that the Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) at Genesis 1:1a/alef as the Takeaway of the Torah Bible must be the Universal Principle of Empowerment. The proof by all measures that we have failed to be empowered by the Torah Bible Teaching, both before and after Revelation, is the deplorable existent state of our broken world of today. This is the theme of the “Lie and Truth” episodes in three parts of the series, so we won’t cover it here.   

Creation of creative creatures by the Creator

But who, or what, are we exactly as humanity? That is the leading question which we will now address. The thing is that we were somehow consulted and then created as in Genesis 1:26-27. This makes us creative-S / creatures-PRD, but not creatures-P-R-D. That is, creatives for being consulted by the Creator, and creatures for being created in Creation. This means that we have the capacity to return to the Creator-S / when passing for everlasting life in heaven. If this wasn’t the case, then we would remain in the creature’s category P-R-D or PRD. Were it not for the Blessing of empowerment-S / of chatting with God we would have no hope ever of salvation-D in heaven.

But let us quote directly from the Bible to leave no room for doubt. I will shorten for brevity and paraphrase as needed.

Genesis 1:26-27

1:26 Vayyómer Elohim. And God said.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֔ים נַֽעֲשֶׂ֥ה אָדָ֛ם בְּצַלְמֵ֖נוּ כִּדְמוּתֵ֑נוּ וְיִרְדּוּ֩ בִדְגַ֨ת הַיָּ֜ם וּבְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם וּבַבְּהֵמָה֙ וּבְכׇל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וּבְכׇל־הָרֶ֖מֶשׂ הָֽרֹמֵ֥שׂ עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

And God said, “Let us make Adam in our image, after our likeness. They shall rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the cattle, the whole earth, and all the creeping things that creep on earth.”

1:27 Vayyivra’ Elohim. And created Elohim.

וַיִּבְרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֶת־הָֽאָדָם֙ בְּצַלְמ֔וֹ בְּצֶ֥לֶם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּרָ֣א אֹת֑וֹ זָכָ֥ר וּנְקֵבָ֖ה בָּרָ֥א אֹתָֽם׃

And God created Adam in His image, in the image of God He created it; male and female He created them:

~

Comment: My guess is that having whole understanding of the open-ended process involved only occurs inbetween the humanist and the deist stages. We’re patiently longing for chatting, like in a waiting room of a hospital. If we’re not creatives–PRD of the Creator-S /, then we’re just creatures of Creation as P–R–D or PRD. It’s up to us. Actually, it’s been up to us all this time.

Being Holies

We’re closing in on the goalpost. In what follows I’ll quote that what’s expected of us is to be creatives. Being holy is being on track from triadic-PRD to holistic-S by our effort-/ as PaRaDiSe. I will shorten for brevity and paraphrase when and where needed.

Leviticus 11:45

11:45 Ki Ani Adonai. For I am YHVH.

כִּ֣י ׀ אֲנִ֣י יְהֹוָ֗ה הַֽמַּעֲלֶ֤ה אֶתְכֶם֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם לִהְיֹ֥ת לָכֶ֖ם לֵאלֹהִ֑ים וִהְיִיתֶ֣ם קְדֹשִׁ֔ים כִּ֥י קָד֖וֹשׁ אָֽנִי׃

For I am YHVH, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, to be your God: you shall be holies, for I am Holy.

~

Leviticus 19:1-2

19:1 Vaydaber Adonai. And spoke Adonai.

וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

YHVH spoke to Moses, saying:

19:2 Daber ’el col ‘adat. Speak to the congregation.

דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־כׇּל־עֲדַ֧ת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל וְאָמַרְתָּ֥ אֲלֵהֶ֖ם קְדֹשִׁ֣ים תִּהְי֑וּ כִּ֣י קָד֔וֹשׁ אֲנִ֖י יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃

Speak to the whole community of Israel and say to them, you shall be holies; for Holy, I YHVH your God:

~

Comment: The commandment is for us to be Triad-PRD as He is Whole-S /. The part of being empowered-S/, means having Wisdom-D Knowledge-R Understanding-P and turning it into a creative triad-PRD. He then empowers-S/ us for everlasting life in heaven.

Since we were first made in Its image and Its likeness, and only afterwards were we created by Him, this means that we are created creative creatures of the Creator of Creation. To be holy must then mean to be creative, just as He is Holy means He is the Creator. The gematria for Kadosh Holy (קדוש) is four one zero (410) reduces to five (5). (100 + 4 + 6 + 300 = 410 =>5) The number five (5) corresponds to the letter Heh H (ה) meaning to reveal as in the Revelation of the Torah to humanity via Moses at Mount Sinai.

The Hammitzvah Commandment One of PaRaDiSe

Assuming the six hundred thirteen (613) commandments previously mentioned of the sages, God reveals to Moses the Decalogue ten (10) commandments in Deuteronomy 5:6-18. Then Moses proceeds to condense it in the Hammitzvah One Commandment in Deuteronomy 6:1, 4-9. Though it is mentioned there, but it doesn’t say what it is. To know what it is requires going to the very beginning and before at Genesis 1:1a/alef. The math is that six one three (613) commandments of the sages reduce to one zero (10) ten Decalogue of Moses reduces in turn to one (1) Commandment One. (613 = 6 + 1 + 3 = 10 => 1)

The Hammitzvah One Commandment found at Genesis 1:1a/alef is Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית). For ease of reference, it is coined as the acronym PaRaDiSe. It is mentioned here to complete the picture, but is handled in other brief essay episodes of the series.

User Instructions

Please be advised that due to its revealing nature this theme is hard to explain. It will require your undivided intention and attention. Multitasking is out of the question. It may very well require listening to it various times as well as studying in group.

The Bible is not an ordinary book to be read as a short story poolside to breeze through and grab another. The Bible is tricky to understand requiring getting into the weeds, passion, calling,  and them some more. It has many layers of meaning from plain stories, lessons for reflection, morals to discover, and secrets to reveal related to Creation.

Ensuing is the User Instructions to follow along with pencil and paper and Bible on hand or online. Please be advised of the existence of various interpretations in translation of the Holy Scriptures. Bear in mind that translation is interpretation. The source that I use is Sefaria dot org which includes the Hebrew original and numerous translations to accommodate most faiths. Simply click on TaNaKh, then on Genesis, then on chapter one (1) verse one (1). Similarly, click on Deuteronomy chapter 6 and scroll to verses one (1) to fourteen (14). Under the names of the Books of the Bible is Content and Versions. Or else by clicking on the verse in question, on the right side appear the options of translations. These translations vary from literal to contemporary user-friendly.  

Now let me move on to start by explaining the Ellipse and Main Triad of the PaRaDiSe presentation of the Universal Principle of Empowerment as found in Genesis 1:1a/alef. The ellipse represents the whole-S / corresponding to God, and never changes. That is, God always stays the same. Then from the main triangle generate the Triad of triads, and triad of triads of triads, and so on. This triadism feature simply unpacks the orthogonal parts of the right-triangle and the hypotenuse unto new right-triangles. Each of the two sides and hypotenuse in turn has the potential to generate a new right-triangle to take things from general to more specific so as to accommodate the content found in the verses. Roughly speaking, the vertical-axis stands for spiritual imaginary beliefs Discover-D, the horizontal-axis for physical real stuff Plain-P, while the hypotenuse-axis transcends both mutually exclusive categories as ideas notions values Reflection-R.

In any case, included on our site PaRaDiSism dot org on the podcast post is the written text to accompany the listening version. You can use two browser screens side-by-side, one to listen and the second one to read. Therein at the end or beginning you will find the graphical visualizations of the verses of interest as learning aids which may come in handy.

Layout sequence of argumentation

The verses related to Chat with God are Genesis 1:1a/alef and Deuteronomy 6:1, 4-9. Since this is the main dish, it will take various scoops to fill the plate. For the first reading Plain-P, I’ll simple read the relevant verses relating to chat with God of Genesis 1:1a/alef and Deuteronomy 6:1, 4-9. For the second reading Reflection-R, I’ll include the comments alongside the PaRaDiSe nomenclature tags attached for identifying the roles played of all the verses. For the third reading Discover–D I’ll do the gematria of numeracy and literacy. Finally, for the fourth reading Secret–S / I’ll focus my attention on unraveling the sense of the core verses addressing the subject of chatting with God.

The takeaway is that we play our part as creatives, we chat with God, then He blesses us with empowerment.   

First Reading of Chat with God. Plain–P

For ease of identifying and remembering the verses I’ll say the verse number and opening words in both Hebrew and the vernacular language.  

There are various triads going on at the same time, as if overlapping. We will sort the relevant ones for our purposes. The mediate background are the six-hundred thirteen commandments  (613) spread out in the Bible according to the sages. The immediate background is the giving of the Ten (10) Commandments the Decalogue to Moses at Mount Sinai in Deuteronomy 5:6-21. All this brings us to the point of interest of the Hammitzvah Commandment One as mentioned in Deuteronomy 6:1. Though the lesson of the Torah Bible Teaching is mentioned here it is not spelled out. The treatment of this subject is beyond the scope of this essay and is covered in my previous episodes.

However, being an integral part of the subject at hand, the Universal Principle of Empowerment Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) of Genesis 1:1a/alef is included as heading of the argument. This PaRaDiSe acronym is then followed by the Hammitzvah Commandment One in Deuteronomy 6:1, and finishing with the Shema Israel Listen Israel in Deuteronomy 6:4-9.

I will mention the opening words in both Hebrew and English for reference. For brevity I will cut short the verses and paraphrase when expedient.

Second Reading Chat with God. Reflection–R

I will mention the opening words in both Hebrew and English for reference. For brevity I will cut short the verses and paraphrase when expedient.

PaRaDiSe, the Takeaway of the Bible, the Universal Principle of Empowerment, the Hammitzvah One Commandment.

Genesis 1:1a/alef 

1:1a/alef, Alef / BeReshIth. A / InBeginningOf.

א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

A / InBeginningOf created Elohim; dialogue with the heavens and dialogue with the earth:

Comment: The Hammitzvah One Commandment as the Universal Principle of Empowerment appears at the outset of the Pentateuch of Moses. That is, it comes solely from binding the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet Alef A (א) with the first word of the Creation Story BeReshIth InBeginningOf (בראשית), into Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית), in Genesis 1:1a/alef. This is then forged as a working tool as the PaRaDiSe application teaching as Whole-S / Triad-PRD.

~

Deuteronomy 6:1

6:1 Vezo’th Hammitzvah. And this is the Commandment One.

וְזֹ֣את הַמִּצְוָ֗ה הַֽחֻקִּים֙ וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֛ה יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם לְלַמֵּ֣ד אֶתְכֶ֑ם לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת בָּאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֛ם עֹבְרִ֥ים שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃

And this is the One Commandment-S, the laws and the rules, that the YHVH your God has commanded to impart to you-D, to be taught to you-R; to observe-P in the land, that you are about to cross into and occupy:

Comment: TheHammitzvah the One Commandment (הַמִּצְוָ֗ה) is mentioned again on top.But where is it, if not at the beginning? It’s found at Genesis 1:1a/alef. So, it is always referred back. Like the labyrinth, you have to enter through the right door or else end up facing a blank wall and going in unending circles of opinion. As far as this set of verses is concerned, Deuteronomy 6:1 plays the part of Whole-S /. Likewise, Deuteronomy 6:4-9 plays the part of Triad-PRD.

In philosophical parlance, verse 6:1 is Emanation-S /, the thesis is D, the antithesis is P, and the transcendence, or synthesis is R. In the PaRaDiSe visual model, we have Ellipse-S / Right triangle-PRD. This right-triangle triad unfolds as vertical imaginary spiritual y-axis Discover-D, horizontal real physical x-axis Plain-P, and inclined complex mental hypotenuse-axis Reflection-R.

Now, as it applies to chatting with God, it depends on what we are emphasizing. On the high end, it carries over as Creativity-S / Pray-D Meditate-R Deeds-P. On the lower end, it carries over as Empowerment-S / Creative self-therapy teaching-PRD as Salvation-D, Peaceof mind-R, Relief from hurting-P.

Also, with this PaRaDiSe model we have chatting with God as the forward slash (/) of the going back and forth of S / P R D. As always, wholeness of thought-S / triadity of language-PRD holds, with we as narrators (forward slash / as chat).

~

We’ll leave out Deuteronomy 6:2-3 for brevity, and now proceed to unfold verses 6:4-9, starting with verse 6:4. In what follows we’ll include the tags of the triad of triad of triads visual model. This slide is included in the text of this brief episode.

Deuteronomy 6:4

6:4 Shema Israel. Listen Israel. D = > Dd Rd Pd

שְׁמַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהֹוָ֥ה ׀ אֶחָֽד׃

Listen-D O Israel-Dd. YHVH is our God-Rd, YHVH is one-Pd:

Comment: The general code of PaRaDiSe isWhole-S / Triad-PRD.

The verse codes as Shema Israel–PaRaDiSe: YHVH–S / Elohéynu–D YHVH–R Echad–P.

The opening section of Shema Israel codes as Shema–S / Is–D ra–R el–P (יִשְׂ-רָ-אֵ֑ל) of Israel.

Comment: Biblical Hebrew doesn’t use present tense for to be nor punctuation marks. So that Listen Israel can also be Listen. Israel! Meaning Listen to yourself, you are Israel. So, then what does the name Israel mean? Well from Genesis 32:28-29 Israel means one who struggles with God and men and prevails. We will dwell a bit longer on this assignment of the higher octave name of Israel for Jacob insofar as it has to do with our innate ability to chat with God to obtain the creative self-therapy blessing of empowerment.

The question is how. But two things must be held in mind. That YHVH Elohéynu YHVH is our God as Elohim Powers (אֱלֹהִ֛ים) is our teacher which thus makes the subject be about power sourcing. And secondly, that Elohéynu Echad our teacher is One, that is, He is always right. The name of the Lesson 101 is Empowerment. 

Genesis 32:28-29

32:28 Vayyómer ’elayú. And, the other said.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו מַה־שְּׁמֶ֑ךָ וַיֹּ֖אמֶר יַעֲקֹֽב׃

Said the other, “What is your name?” He replied, “Jacob.”

32:29 Vayyómer lo’. And he said to him.

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לֹ֤א יַעֲקֹב֙ יֵאָמֵ֥ר עוֹד֙ שִׁמְךָ֔ כִּ֖י אִם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּֽי־שָׂרִ֧יתָ עִם־אֱלֹהִ֛ים וְעִם־אֲנָשִׁ֖ים וַתּוּכָֽל׃

Said he, “No longer Jacob shall be your name, but rather Israel; for you have struggled with God and men, and have prevailed:”

Comment: Ki im Israel ki Sarith ‘im ’Elohim for, you have struggled with God (אִם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּֽי־שָׂרִ֧יתָ עִם־אֱלֹהִ֛ים). From this Is-ra-el as Israel (יִשְׂ-רָ-אֵ֑ל) is composed. This is telling us that we can proactively benefit by engaging with God. After all, we were made in Its image and Its likeness.

~

6:5 Ve’ahavtah. And you shall love. Rd => Drd Rrd Prd

וְאָ֣הַבְתָּ֔ אֵ֖ת יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ בְּכׇל־לְבָבְךָ֥ וּבְכׇל־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ וּבְכׇל־מְאֹדֶֽךָ׃

You shall love-Rd YHVH your God; with all your heart-Drd and with all your soul-Rrd and with all your might-Prd:

Comment: Again, using the same code of PaRaDiSe as Whole-S / Triad-PRD.

If we act under Love-S conditions of dialogue with YHVH Elohéynu, then we integrate as heart-D mind-R strength-P. It’s an “If / then” situation, biconditional. This translates as enthusiasm meaning having God somehow inside integrating passion with reason as God-S / Love-PRD. It is only through love with God that we’re triads. Contrariwise, as human beings we’re rational passional animals.

~

6:6 Vehayu. And it shall be. S / PRD

וְהָי֞וּ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֗לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָנֹכִ֧י מְצַוְּךָ֛ הַיּ֖וֹם עַל־לְבָבֶֽךָ׃

And will be-S / these things-P which I charge-R you this day to your heart-D:

Comment: The “If” love dialogue necessary conditions on our part with YHVH Elohéynu of verse 6:5 above hold. Vehayu–S / is the “then” part corresponding to God.

The “then”, the sufficient conditions on God’s part proceeds as Whole-S / Triad-PRD of creativity of this verse 6:6. This is stating the staging of PaRaDiSe is in place. If we’ve made merits, it will happen. If we decide to chat with God, He will be there to chat with us.

~

6:7 Veshinantam. And impress them. P => Dp Rp Pp

וְשִׁנַּנְתָּ֣ם לְבָנֶ֔יךָ וְדִבַּרְתָּ֖ בָּ֑ם בְּשִׁבְתְּךָ֤ בְּבֵיתֶ֙ךָ֙ וּבְלֶכְתְּךָ֣ בַדֶּ֔רֶךְ וּֽבְשׇׁכְבְּךָ֖ וּבְקוּמֶֽךָ׃

Impress-P them upon your children, and recite them-Dp; when you stay at home and when you walk on the road-Rp, and when you lie down and when you get up-Pp:

Comment: This refers to divulging the Hammitzvah One Commandment at every fork and turn during the day and night twenty-four seven (24/7). Don’t keep it to yourselves. Education plays a key role.

~

The following is the core verse of Chatting with God. It’s been hiding in plain sight all this time.

6:8 Ukshartam. And bind them. Rr => Drr Rrr Prr

וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם לְא֖וֹת עַל־יָדֶ֑ךָ וְהָי֥וּ לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין עֵינֶֽיךָ׃

Ukshartam le’oth, al yadekha; vehayu letotafot, beyn eynekha:

Bind them as a sign-S / onto your hand-Drr; and will be as drippings (reminders)-Rrr between your eyes-Prr:

Comment: It affirms that the Commandment is! What it is, our query, and God’s response. This we’ll develop further in the next readings after this general introduction.  

Bind the sign of Creator / Creation unto your hand, be like God in image and in likeness. Same as the imperative of “Be holies as I God am Holy”. Be what you were made and created to be. Take charge of the sign of power into your hands. Take charge and He’ll be within us, showing the way.

~

6:9 Ukhtavtam. And you shall inscribe them. Rp => Drp Rrp Prp

Inscribe-Drp them on the doorposts of your house-Rrp and on your city gates-Prp:

Comment: This refers to writing the Commandment One and to publicize it outwardly in writing in the mezuzah. The same applies here as above. Don’t keep it to yourselves. It is a collective endeavor, not a game of solitaire. Let it be known in the house where you live and, in the city, as well. This refers to the contents of the mezuzah of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21.

Gematria

In the third reading we’re going to include both the PaRaDiSe tags as well as the numbers corresponding to the wording. Although it’s been mentioned at the outset in the Model and used throughout, I’ll restate to have it close at hand. Succinctly, the PaRaDiSeApp teaching is an acronym consisting of Secret–S / Discover–D, Reflect–R, and Plain-P. The general code of PaRaDiSe isWhole-S / Triad-PRD.

In the Biblical Hebrew language, letters have associated with them number values, as well as have meaning attached to them. Perhaps, that’s why the language of the Bible is called the holy language. In any case, alef a (א) is ox head and number one (1), beth b (ב) is house and number two (2), gimmel c (ג) is camel and number three (3), and so on. For a complete listing please consult a reliable source on the internet or elsewhere.

Let’s take the word le’oth as a sign (לְא֖וֹת) as illustrative example of how this works. It spells as L a v t. That is, Lammed L (ל) thirty (30) bind/teach, Alef A (א) one (1) ox head/leader, Vav Ve  (ו) six (6) add/secure, Tav T (ת) four hundred (400) mark/sign. Next step is to sum the respective numbers of the letters of the word, then apply reductive arithmetic until we arrive at its single digit number. This gives us the numbers in order of appearance: summing the numbers gives us four three seven (437) which reduces to one four (14) which reduces to five (5). (30 + 1 + 6+ 400 = 437 => 4 + 3 + 7 = 14 => 1 + 4 = 5). Thus, the word le’oth as a sign (לְא֖וֹת) in gematria is the number five (5). This gives us also the meanings in order of appearance as bind/teach, ox head/leader, add/secure, mark/sign. This seems to signify to bind, and lead to secure the mark. Shortly we’ll see the significance of this finding as relates to Deuteronomy 6:1 and 6:8.

A second example relates to the commandments themselves. There are six-hundred thirteen (613) commandments overall according to the sages. Let’s now apply gematria to it to get a sense of what’s involved. Six-hundred thirteen is six one three (613) reduces to ten (10) reduces to one (1). (613 => 6 +1 +3 = 10 => 1). This is telling us that the six-hundred thirteen commandments (613) of the sages reduce to the Decalogue ten (10) of Moses, and still further reduce to the one (1) Commandment One of PaRaDiSeatGenesis 1:1a/alef, Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית). It is a very powerful hermeneutic application which we’ll use to highlight chatting with God for the creative self-therapy blessing empowerment. This should suffice as intro to gematria. As for the PaRaDiSe teaching application tags, we have been using it all along, so it should pose no problem.  

Let’s then continue without further ado with the third reading of chat with God, Discover-D.

Third Reading Chat with God. Discover–D

The selection for gematria is Genesis 1:1a/alef and Deuteronomy 6:1, 4-9. More specifically, it’s the Takeaway of the Torah Bible Teaching in Genesis 1:1a/alef, and the open invitation to chat with God for the creative self-therapy blessing of empowerment in Deuteronomy 6:8.

Genesis 1:1a/alef  

1:1a/alef, Alef / BeReshIth. A / InBeginningOf .

א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

A / InBeginningOf created Elohim; dialogue with the heavens and dialogue with the earth: Comment: The Hammitzvah One Commandment as the Universal Principle of Empowerment appears at the outset of the Pentateuch of Moses. That is, it consists solely of binding the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet Alef A (א) one (1) with the first word of the Creation Story BeReshIth InBeginningOf (בראשית) four (4), into Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) of one over four (1/4), as Genesis 1:1a/alef. This is forged as the toolbox of the PaRaDiSe teaching application of Whole-S / Triad-PRD. Doing the additive arithmetic of the letters and numbers we get one divided by nine one three (1/913), which reduces to one over thirteen (1/13), which reduces further to one over four (1/4).

{Alef (א) (1) / Be (ב), (2) Re (ר) (200), alef (א) (1), sh (ש) (300), Yod (י) (10), tav (ת) (400).

1 / 2+200+1+300+10+400=> 1 / 913=> 1 / 9+1+3 =1/13=>1/1+3=>1/4.}

Comment: I’ll reserve the comment for the last reading.

Deuteronomy 6:1

6:1 Vezo’th Hammitzvah. And this is the Commandment One.

וְזֹ֣את הַמִּצְוָ֗ה הַֽחֻקִּים֙ וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֛ה יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם לְלַמֵּ֣ד אֶתְכֶ֑ם לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת בָּאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֛ם עֹבְרִ֥ים שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃

And this is the One Commandment-S /, the laws and the rules, that YHVH your God has commanded to impart to you-D, to be taught to you-R; to observe-P in the land, that you are about to cross into and occupy:

Hammitzvah the one commandment (הַמִּצְוָ֗ה) 11=>2. Mitzvah Commandment (מִּצְוָ֗ה) 141=>6.

{Heh (ה) (5) Mem (מ) (40) Tz (צ) (90) Vav (ו) (6) Heh (ה) (5)

5+40+90+6+5=146=>11=>2}

Mitzvah Commandment (מִּצְוָ֗ה)

Mem (מ) (40) Tz (צ) (90) Vav (ו) (6) Heh (ה) (5)

40+90+6+5=141=>6}

Positives: 248=>14=>5. Negatives: 365 =>14=>5. Positive and Negatives: 5+5=10=>1. Comment: Recall that there are six hundred thirteen (613) commandments in the Torah, of which two hundred forty-eight (248) are positive and three hundred sixty-five (365) are negative. Doing the arithmetic, we get number five (5) for each (2+4+8=14=>5; 3+6+5=14=>5), meaning they are equal in importance, the negative and the positives, as expected, and add up to ten (10) which reduces (10=1+0=>1) to one (1).

What stands out is the gematria of Israel of five hundred forty-one (541) reduces to ten (10) reduces to one (1). I’ll reserve the comment to the last reading.

This is the verse which reveals our faculty to chat with God.

Deuteronomy 6:8

6:8 Ukshartam. And bind them. Rr => Drr Rrr Prr

וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם לְא֖וֹת עַל־יָדֶ֑ךָ וְהָי֥וּ לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין עֵינֶֽיךָ׃

Bind the sign-S / onto your hand-Drr; and will be drippings (reminders)-Rrr between your eyes-Prr:

Comment: Bind the sign, onto your hand; and will be drippings (reminders), between your eyes:

The gematria is as follows, by word, by section, and by whole verse. What stands out is that the “If” section, our part of the chat, equals the “then” section, God’s part. This means that it takes two to have a chat. Takes two to tango. I’ll reserve other comments to the last reading.

{Ukshartam Bind them (וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם) 6+100+300+200+400+40=1050=>6.

Inscribe-Drp them on the doorposts of your houses-Rrp and on your city gates-Prp:

Comment: This refers to writing the Commandment and to publicize it outwardly in writing in the mezuzah. The wordings of the Chat in its two versions in Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21 are inscribed in the mezuzah.

Fourth & Last Reading Chat with God. Secret–S /

In following is the core argument for the chat with God. In a sense, it’s been hiding in plain sight for the last three thousand plus years and counting. For worse, not for the better, I might add. It took someone lost like me to stumble on it.  

Before we move on to closure, let’s do a quick recap of where we stand. The first reading of the texts puts in place Plain–P. The second reading and our comments puts in place Reflection–R. The third reading with gematria puts in place Discover–D. Now we have the necessary conditions-PRD in place, what comes next is the sufficient condition of Secret–S /. The Teacher is God. And we can only learn from the Teacher if we can chat with Him. This is pretty much like going to school to learn.

A plethora of things are going on at the same time with just the selected three verses of interest. But our subject is to chat with God. If we decide to chat with God, we’ve kept Him waiting all this time. In any case, Deuteronomy 6:8 is our verse of interest, but underscored by Genesis 1:1a/alef and with Deuteronomy 6:1 serving as link reminder.

~

Genesis 1:1a/alef

1:1a/alef, Alef / BeReshIth. A / InBeginningOf. This plays the part of the Ellipse S /.

א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

A / InBeginningOf created Elohim; dialogue with the heavens and dialogue with the earth:

Comment: Gematria gives one over nine one three (1/913) reduces to one over four (1/4) (1 / 2+200+1+300+10+400=> 1/913=>1/4) of Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf of PaRaDiSe.

Comment: The left side staying constant as the number one (1/) state that the Creator is above all we might say. This we can express as S (S / PRD). As for the right side inside the parenthesis, my sense of the first reduction as nine hundred thirteen (913) is saying that the ellipse as the number one (1) as S / and the right-triangle of main triad PRD of number three (3) unfolds as triad of triads as DpRpPp DrRrPr DpRpPp of the number nine (9). The number one slash (1/) of the left-side somehow carries over as the Name-S to the right-side as the intermediate number one (1). This is a longwinded way of saying PaRaDiSe as it displays in visual format. Please view the slides on the text.

As for the second reduction of one over four (1/4) it’s telling us that somehow for practical purposes the left-side S(, carries over symbolically in name only at least, to the right side as S / P R D. Again, we have the same PaRaDiSe.

Comment: This is the most enigmatic and misunderstood word and verse in the whole Torah Bible. And having missed it has been of far-reaching and terrible consequences for humanity and world alike, might I add. The Bible Torah Teaching is like a labyrinth. If you enter the wrong door, you end up dead-end alleys up against walls and going in endless circles of frivolous opinion of chaos. My claim in very brief version is that the correct reading of the opening verse of the Creation Story is as a ladder of sorts, by rungs. It’s actually prefixed by the first letter of Hebrew. Succinctly, in both English and in Hebrew.

Alef A (א).  S(

Alef A (א) / BeReshIth. InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית). S / PRD

BeReshIth bara’ Elohim InBeginningOf created Gods (בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים) D

bara’ Elohim ’eth created Gods language-with (בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת). R

Elohim ’eth hashamáyim ve’eth ha’áretz Gods {is}language-with the heavens and language-with the earth (אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃): P

Comment: God appears as S(, of which we know nothing about. So, the next best thing is His Name as S /. This being the case, we then have S (S / PRD) understood throughout.

Comment: This breakthrough recovery is covered in my self-published 2018 book at Amazon PaRDeSism Human Science 101. It is touched upon in my videos on YouTube, and in the podcasts of this series. In any case, this is background. The focus of interest is on chatting with God at Deuteronomy 6:8.

Deuteronomy 6:4

6:4 Shema Israel. Listen Israel. D = > Dd Rd Pd

שְׁמַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהֹוָ֥ה אֶחָֽד׃

Shema Israel YHVH Elohéynu YHVH echad:

Listen-D O Israel-Dd. YHVH is our God-Rd, YHVH is one-Pd:

Comment: What stands out to me from the gematria of Discover-D above is Israel (יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל). Doing the arithmetic, we get five four one (541) which reduces to one zero (10) which reduces to one (1). (10 + 300 + 200 + 1 + 30 = 541=> 9 + 1 = 10 => 1). With a little maneuvering we changed five hundred forty-one (541) to give nine plus one (9 + 1), similarly equals ten (10) gives one (1). This is the same as the Ellipse-S / Triad-PRD as one plus nine (9+1). This is telling us that Israel is S / PRD of PaRaDiSe. This is similar to the case above of Genesis 1:1a/alef but a shorter version of Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) which is the Universal Principle of Empowerment. The ten (10) as one zero of Israel as we saw in the third reading above is one digit removed from the one (1) of Alef A (א) God. This harkens to the idea that we were made in the image and likeness of the Creator. But only if we act as creatives of the Creator, not just as creatures of Creation.

~

This following verse is the quid of the chat with God. This makes or breaks our argument.

Deuteronomy 6:8

וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם לְא֖וֹת עַל־יָדֶ֑ךָ וְהָי֥וּ לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין עֵינֶֽיךָ׃

6:8 Ukshartam le’oth, ‘al yadekha; vehayu letotafot, beyn ‘eynekha:

Bind the sign onto your hand; and shall be drippings (reminders) between your eyes:

Comment: From the previous gematria of both values of three (3), this means that our part the “If” section has equal weight to His part the “then” section. That is, 3 = 3! It takes two to chat.

Comment: This verse affirms that the Commandment is! What it is, our query, and His response. This we’ll develop further right after the general introduction.  

The takehome message of Ukshartam And bind them (וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם) is to fit ourselves in with the Creator and Creation as Creatives. The rest of le’oth ‘al yadekha place the sign unto your hand (לְא֖וֹת עַל־יָדֶ֑ךָ) follows by added measure. Meaning that we be in familiar terms with God as chatting commonly conveys.  

Likewise, the takehome message of the second part of the verse Vehayu–S / Letotafot–D Beyn–R Eynekha–P refers to the insights drippings messages received during the chat itself. This is the chat response that we receive from God. This presupposes that we are in creative modality, whether it be in meditation or simply attentive in our daily activities.

Comment: The “If”: Kshartam–S / Le’oth–D ’Al–R Yadekha–P

Bind-S / Sign-D Unto-R Hand-P

The “Then”: Vehayu–S / Letotafot–D Beyn–R Eynekha–P

Shall be-S / Drippings (Reminders)-D Between-R Eyes-P

~

Due to its importance, we’ll analyze it further by parts then as a whole.

The first part is PRD. Our input questions using PaRaDiSe App teaching to integrate civilization.

6:8 Ukshartam. And bind them.

וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם לְא֖וֹת עַל־יָדֶ֑ךָ וְהָי֥וּ לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין עֵינֶֽיךָ׃

Bind them the sign, onto your hand; and shall be drippings (reminders), between your eyes:

Comment: This refers to fusing-PRD into One-S / Religion-D Philosophy-R Science-P.

The second part is S /. His output, answers coded in reference to PaRaDiSe App teaching in view of saving creation.

6:8 Vehayu. And shall be.

וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם לְא֖וֹת עַל־יָדֶ֑ךָ וְהָי֥וּ לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין עֵינֶֽיךָ׃

Link them of the sign onto your hand; and shall be drippings (reminders), between your eyes:

Comment: This refers to the back and forth of chatting with God. We elevate-PRD in the first part verse 6:8a-d and get response-S / in the second part verse 6:8e-h. We are using the creative-S / holistic systemic heuristic-PRD approach.

That is, now that we’ve done a wide sweep of the whole Vezo’th Hammitzvah And this is the Commandment One (וְזֹ֣אתהַמִּצְוָ֗ה) Deuteronomy 6:1, we can now deliberate on the sweetspot, on the Chat itself of Deuteronomy 6:8. In the first approximation, by chat with God we mean that He brings out of us insights, intuitions, guidelines, to queries in our lives. But it is conditional in the sense that “If” we do our part, “then” He does His part of responding in kind according to our understanding of things. By this I mean that we need to see ourselves as Creatives first to be able to see the Creator in the Whole of Creation.

Review

Let’s restate the full chat verse Deuteronomy 6:8 in question to have it fresh in our minds and close-up for study, including transliteration alongside the translation of the Hebrew original. In all this please be forgiving for my failing for I’m but a juggler.

Allow me to repeat key verse Deuteronomy 6:8. Bind them as a sign-S /, onto your hand-Drr; and will be drippings (reminders)-Rrr, between your eyes-Prr:

What this verse is simply saying is “If”  you obey the commandment Bind them as a sign-S /, doing your part of onto your hand-Drr, “then” He will do His part and there will be drippings (reminders)-Rrr, between your eyes-Prr:

The Bind them as a sign-S / refers to sign (לְא֖וֹת) which is spelled out as alef  beginning (א) vav and (ו), tav ending  (ת)of things. And the onto your hand-Drr refers to having them in our power. First, we-Drr, next creative therapy-Rrr, last things-Prr. Interacting with things out there. Ve’kashartam bind them (וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם) as an application teaching, as a tool.

Deuteronomy 6:8

וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם לְא֖וֹת עַל־יָדֶ֑ךָ וְהָי֥וּ לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין עֵינֶֽיךָ׃

6:8 Ukshartam le’oth, ‘al yadekha; vehayu letotafot, beyn ‘eynekha:

Link them the sign, onto your hand; and shall be drippings (reminders), between your eyes;

The “If”: Kshartam Le’oth Bind sign-S / ’Al Yadekha unto Your Hand-D.

The “then”: Vehayu Letotafot–R beyn eynekha–P.

Comment: The le’oth sign (לְא֖וֹת) refers to Alef / BeReshIth A / InBeginningOf (א/בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) by way of the correspondences. Follow-Le Image-alef and-vav likeness-Tav. The chat messages are the drippings (reminders)-R, captured between our eyes-P, as in meditation, the third eye.

Comment:  The le’oth to the sign (לְא֖וֹת) can also be mapped as the first letter Alef A referring to the Alef A (א֖) of the Creator, and middle vav and (֖וֹ) to us creatives, and the last letter tav T (ת) to Creation as BeReshIth InBeginningOf (בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית).  

Only the Creator empowers

Only the Creator is savior. Only the One who made us and created us can bless us with creative self-therapy of empowerment. Only as created creative creatures that we are can we find affinity with the Creator. Chat with the Creator on how to emulate Him, on how to be civil, one how to integrate civilization.  

Take charge of things, put things into your hands, and things fall into place as PaRaDiSe. God speaks in silent thoughts, according to our capacity to listen. Chatting refers to these reminders of insights, like nourishing dew, falling in the dark when we’re not looking during our meditation. Chatting is not magical, mystical, not supernatural, simply natural as inherently cultural. Do you want to be able to chat with God instead of trying everything else? You are able just didn’t know you could.

The sufficient condition-S / and necessary condition-PRD to chat with God is simply to apply PaRaDiSe as a tool to integrate civilization. That is, to be creative! Just be creative! Chat with God instead of trying everything else! Be like God since we’re made in Its image and Its likeness, to God. Be holy as He is Holy.  

Creative Self-Therapy Empowerment  

Note from Deuteronomy 6:8 that Ukshartam le’oth, ‘al yadekha Bind them to the sign onto your hand-S / (לְא֖וֹת) and vehayu letotafot, beyn ‘eynekha and will be drippings (reminders)-D between your eyes-P (וְהָי֥וּ לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין עֵינֶֽיךָ׃) both have the le to (לְ). This le to (לְ) seems to be implying a coming from in order to be a going to. This being the case, these can also be read as “Bind your hand-D unto the sign-S /”, and as “between your eyes-P place the drippings (reminders)-R.”

The first signifies that it comes from God-S /, from the Creator out of nothingness, and the second comes from the Creative-D, from its heart out of somethingness. This incides on the concept of creative self-therapy of empowerment. Therapy means a treatment that helps someone feel better, especially after an illness. This is normally understood as performed by someone else on the hurting person. But in our case, the active is the same as the passive. This can only be if the treatment comes from outside, somehow, and received by the patient. Well, in the first case, the source of the treatment comes from God-S / as empowerment, while in the second case the source is the heart-D as creative love-PRD.

Tefillin or Chat?

By way of wrapping things up, this essay wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t say something regarding the tefillin phylacteries (תְּפִלִּין). This is important because the standard interpretation of Deuteronomy 6:8 is the wearing of tefillin phylacteries (תְּפִלִּין) for praying, instead of chatting with God for creative self-therapy blessing of empowerment.

These tefillin phylacteries (תְּפִלִּין) are a set of small black leather boxes with leather straps containing scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah. Its purpose is to serve as a reminder of God’s intervention at the time of the Exodus from Egypt. The boxes contain four (4) hand-written texts from the Bible, in which believers are commanded to wear certain words on the left arm and between the eyes on the forehead. The texts are Exodus 13:1-10, 13:11-16; and Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 11:12-21. Tefillin are worn mainly by Orthodox Jewish men during morning prayers.

Tefillin are sometimes called phylacteries, from the Greek phylakterion, which means a safeguard. This would make the Tefillin to be some sort of amulet or charm, which would pose an issue as superstition. By the look of things there’s a misunderstanding somewhere in dire need of clarification. I will leave it here for the moment.

Afterword

~

Back to Exodus  

It’s the case that in studying Deuteronomy we were referred to Exodus for identifications, likewise, studying Exodus we will be referred to Genesis for principles.

Let’s first layout side-by-side the verses of interest, Deuteronomy 6:8 and Exodus 13:9, 16 and then study by comparing and contrasting them. We will do this by dividing the verse into two sections, and the wordings into phrase parts made of various words. I will use verse Deuteronomy 6:8 as reference.

Deuteronomy 6:8

6:8 Ukshartam le’oth. Bind them the sign.

Hermeneutics

Comment: The differences between Exodus 13:9 and 13:16 is firstly to identify the unknown word totafot drippings as zakharon reminders. Secondly, between Exodus 13:9 and 13:16, uses “freed you YHVH from Egypt” and “freed us YHVH from Egypt”, respectively. Thirdly, Exodus 13:16 omits “to you(sg)” what Exodus 13:9 includes. Fourthly, Exodus 13:9 includes a third part to the first section, which 13:16 doesn’t. Namely, “in order that the Teaching of YHVH be in your mouth”.

Comment: The difference between Exodus 13:9, 16 and Deuteronomy 6:8 is the words of the first part of the first section. Namely, “And shall be as sign to you”, and “And bind them as sign”, respectively. Also, use of plural (pl) in Exodus 13:16, and of singular (sg) in Exodus 13:9 and Deuteronomy 6:8.

Comment: It seems that “the Teaching of YHVH” is “that with a mighty hand, freed you(us) YHVH from Egypt:” That is, that Teaching 101 is Empowerment. “Freedom” is means to an end.

 Comment: It seems in Exodus 13:9, 16, that if relationship a:b :: c:d, implies that a=c and b=d, then we would have the following, simplifying things with the parts as selected. That is, that “If”, “sign to hand”: (is to) “reminders/drippings between eyes” :: (then) “Teaching of YHVH” : (is to) “mighty hand of YHVH freed from Egypt”, “then” we would have the following equalities. The “sign” is the “Teaching of YHVH”, and the “reminders/drippings” is the “freedom” forempowerment, abridged for economy.  

Comment: Assuming the above for the sake of argument, the next step in our quest is what is the “Teaching of YHVH”, and what does “freedom” for empowerment mean, in this context? These two, “sign as Teaching” and “reminders/drippings as freedom”, are the two remaining unknowns. To their definitions we now turn in what follows.  

Comment: It’s the case that in studying Deuteronomy we were referred to Exodus for identifications, likewise, studying Exodus we will be referred to Genesis for principles of empowerment.

Comment: But before going back, there’s one more thing we can squeeze out, and it’s the “And bind them as sign” of Deuteronomy 6:8, and “And shall be to you as sign”, and “And shall be as sign”, of Exodus 13:9, 16, respectively. We’ll use a thicker brush and equate the two verses of Exodus as one statement of “And shall be as sign”, ignoring the “to you” difference. My guess is that since the verse cited with the difference of “Bind” comes from Deuteronomy, which is a repetition of the previous four Books of the Torah Teaching Bible, it is simply condensing the previous versions of Exodus 13:9, 16. Maybe, it affects the biconditional “If/then”, in which case we’ll have something to say further down the line. Hopefully we can leave it at that, at least for the time being, and not make a whole lot of difference. If that is so, let’s then continue with our march to the beginning of Genesis.

Comment: There remains tension between the readings of the verses of Deuteronomy and Exodus. We’ll try to iron out the wrinkles. It is complex and convoluted, to say the least. But as the saying goes, nothing gets resolved until all gets resolved. Or else in sports, the game isn’t over until it’s over, and so on. Nothing fits perfectly till all the pieces are in place. It’s okay for things to fit loosely, not necessarily snuggly. It’s okay to improve interpretations, with gradual adjustments as all the parts of the whole fall into place. Nothing changes unless everything changes. You get the idea. Though we are treating it here, given its importance, we may certainly take it up again in later episodes, just as we’ve addressed it in previous episodes in this same series. Herein it’s just touched upon, to be continued further down the line.

Same applies here, the Pentateuch of Moses is One (1) Torah, however much it is composed of five (5) books. The key to this inherent tension is to keep it within reasonable bounds, not let it fly out to the blue sky like the case of the Oral Tradition of Religionism of the Messiah solution. That is, all’s permitted except what’s prohibited. You can’t go against the grain of the Torah, everything else is fair play. If the Torah is the Teaching, then you can’t say that the teaching is lacking or wrong. That something is missing which needs bringing later from the future by a Messiah. That is simply wrong.

While our understanding is certainly lacking, it’s not due to the Torah. The ends of the bell curve fade out at a distance such that the missing bits don’t change the mayor conclusions. Keep things within reasonable error, like in science, within two percent (2%), or thereabouts. Converge not diverge. The thing is to come up with a qualitatively valid argument, quantitatively within reasonable details. The maxim is don’t go against the grain of the Torah. This must be clear, that the so-called Oral Torah cannot be an improvement on the Torah. The Messiah cannot override Moses. Moses is the conveyor belt between God and us. This is not to say that he compared to the Almighty, just that he was better than the alternatives.

Comment: We have to continue our precession from Deuteronomy 6:1, 4-9, especially verse 6:8 to Exodus 13:9, 16, and now unto to Genesis which is in the first Book of the Pentateuch of Moses. But ultimately, my favorite sweetspot is Genesis 1:1a/alef. This is the Teaching referred to “in order that the Teaching of YHVH be in your mouth” of Exodus 13:9. This has been referred throughout, but I will mention it one more time since it’s of the essence in the argument.  Lesson 101 is that the whole is made of triad parts. In code, as whole Secret-S/ Triad-PRD parts, consisting of Discover-D Reflection-R Plain-P, or else S/ D R P, read from right to left as in Hebrew. For convenience from the point of view of a science teacher, I made it easy to remember as the PaRaDiSe application teaching.

This settles the question of what the sign is. The “sign” is the “Teaching of YHVH” of the PaRaDiSe App teaching. Now let’s address the meaning of saying that “reminders/drippings” is “freedom” for empowerment. The whole two quotes are as follows, leaving the “sign as Teaching” of the PaRaDiSe App out of the picture since it’s a settled matter. From Exodus 13:9, 16, we have “as reminders/drippings between your(sg, pl) eyes; that with a mighty hand, freed you(us) YHVH from Egypt”:

In a nutshell, “sign as Teaching” refers to the PaRaDiSe App teaching.

Comment: What is all this about “reminders/drippings between your eyes”, and “that with a mighty hand, freed you(us) from Egypt” possibly be referring to? The short answer is that “between your eyes” refers to what is commonly called as the “third Eye” of deep meditation.

In a nutshell, the “reminders” unknown are cues in drippings code, as in the PaRaDiSe App above.

Now unto  the meaning of “freedom”. Likewise, the short answer is “that with a mighty hand, freed you(us) from Egypt” refers to what is today commonly called therapy or treatment. As in with strong therapy free you from hurting.

Comment: What we are herein proposing is creative selftherapy empowerment. To better understand what we’re proposing we need to say a few words about therapies in general, and in connection to meditation as refers to the “third Eye”. I’m not an expert in the field, though have practiced various forms of meditation throughout the years. Let’s start by stating that Mosaic meditation, which I call creative selftherapy empowerment, differs from Buddhist meditation, also called Mantra Yoga, as distinct from Hatha Yoga of the body positions. Jewish meditation is Tefillin. Mosaic meditation is creative selftherapy empowerment.

In a nutshell, the “reminders/drippings as freedom” unknown refers to creative selftherapy of Mosaic meditation empowerment.

Comment: The above claim of ours that creative selftherapy of Mosaic meditation of empowerment can provide us the necessary freedom from bondage, is implicitly saying full realization of our potentials. Later on, we’ll make the connection between freedom and being creatives. But for the moment, unavoidably we have to go off on a tangent.

The problem is simply that the sages of Rabbinism missed the sweetspot at Genesis 1:1a/alef, that the Whole-S/ is made of Triad-PRD parts. From this everything else follows insofar as this is the Universal Principle of Empowerment to integrate civilization and provide a helping hand in saving Creation. We’ll have more to say about this later on. The problem is that missing this, the sages had to come up with something to patch the hole, else the ship of their construction would sink. Out of their cuff they came up with the Messiah conjecture. The problem is that it backfired. But we won’t get into this here. Suffice to mention that it’s gone viral on all faith fronts, and that is a concern moving forward.

As a former businessman, I know firsthand that the buck stops with the CEO. And you have to solve problems on a daily basis, that kicking the can down the road isn’t the way to go.

Comment: Is our argument airtight to outer space travel specifications? Definitely not. Don’t compare things with perfection, but to the alternative of doing nothing. Recall our approach Creative-S/ Holistic-D Systemic-R Heuristic-P. We don’t bite more than we can chew.

Gematria of Exodus 13:9, 16

Please bear in mind that the Torah Teaching Bible is a never-ending venture. It is infinite in depth and no claim is made to having touched the bottom, at best barely scratched the surface. That said, I’ll give it one more pickaxe and shovel with the gematria of the key words in the verses of Exodus 13:9, 16. From Exodus 13:9 the key word is ‘oth sign (א֖וֹת), totafot drippings (טֹטָפֹ֖ת), and additionally, from Exodus 13:16 the key words are zakharon reminders (זקרון), torat YHVH teaching of God (תּוֹרַ֥ת יְהֹוָ֖ה).

Let’s do the math. The ‘oth sign (א֖וֹת) is four zero seven (407) reduces to double one (11) reduces to two. (2) (1+6+400=407=>11=>2). The totafot drippings (טֹטָפֹ֖ת) is four nine eight reduces to two one (21) reduces to three (3). (9+9+80+400=498=>21=>3) The zakharon reminders (זקרון) is three six three (363) reduces to two one (21) reduces to three (3). (7 + 100 + 200 + 6+50=363=>12=>3). Note that totafot drippings (טֹטָפֹ֖ת) is two one (21), while zakharon reminders (זקרון) is one two (12), although both converge to three (3). This is telling us that they are somehow complementary or mirror images of each other. The torat YHVH teaching of God (תּוֹרַ֥ת יְהֹוָ֖ה) is one zero three two (1032) which reduces to six (6) (400 + 6 + 200 + 400 + 10 + 5 + 6 + 5 = 1006+26=1032=>6). Let’s now analyze our results going from simple to complex, based on the relationship a:b :: c:d previously established.

Both totafot drippings (טֹטָפֹ֖ת) and zakharon reminders (זקרון) are three (3). This would tell us that they’re reflectively identical, which we already knew. Next, that together three (3) plus three (3) gives six (6), which is telling us that the torat YHVH teaching of God (תּוֹרַ֥ת יְהֹוָ֖ה) is PaRaDiSe as reminders, which we had already discovered, and now confirm. Lastly, the ‘oth sign (א֖וֹת) is eleven or double one (11) which reduces to two (2). This tells us that Creator-Creative go hand-in-hand, next to each other as in continuous chatting, as in takes two (2) to tango. We are ten (10), one digit removed from God, who is one (1), and together we make eleven or double one (11), which reduces to a relationship of two (2).

Needless to say, all this needs peer review of sorts. In any case, I’ll leave it here as our creative-S / holistic systemic heuristic-PRD approach allows.

’Oth Sign as the PaRaDiSe App teaching

This insert is actually redundant, quite superfluous after all that has been said and done. However, in abundance of caution I decided at the end to include it. It doesn’t really add anything new, rather serves to confirm what we already demonstrated. It was actually after finishing the brief that I became aware that besides the word totafot drippings as reminders also the word ’oth sign was undefined. That is, it needed clarification.

What was happening was that I was focusing my attention on the book of Deuteronomy. But this last book of the Pentateuch of Moses is actually a repetition of sorts, hence the name as second or repeated law. I must confess I’m still learning my way around the Torah Teaching Bible. In any case, the original idea of Deuteronomy 6:8 is found in Exodus 13:9, 16.

The question is what does the word ’oth sign (אוֹת) mean? To this end we’ll quote the three verses of interest as mentioned above. Namely, these sweetspots are Deuteronomy 6:8 and Exodus 13:9, 16. Since we previously studied the meaning of totafot drippings reminders (זִכָּרוֹן֙), this time around we’ll focus solely on highlighting the meaning of ’oth sign (אוֹת).

Deuteronomy 6:8

6:8 Ukshartam le’oth. Link them the sign.

וּקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ם לְא֖וֹת עַל־יָדֶ֑ךָ וְהָי֥וּ לְטֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֥ין עֵינֶֽיךָ׃

Ukshartam le’oth, ‘al yadekha; vehayu letotafot, beyn ‘eynekha:

Link them the sign, onto your hand; and shall be drippings (reminders), between your eyes:

~

Exodus 13:9. 

13:9 Vehayu lekha. And it shall be to you.

וְהָיָה֩ לְךָ֨ לְא֜וֹת עַל־יָדְךָ֗ וּלְזִכָּרוֹן֙ בֵּ֣ין עֵינֶ֔יךָ לְמַ֗עַן תִּהְיֶ֛ה תּוֹרַ֥ת יְהֹוָ֖ה בְּפִ֑יךָ כִּ֚י בְּיָ֣ד חֲזָקָ֔ה הוֹצִֽאֲךָ֥ יְהֹוָ֖ה מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃

And this shall serve you, as a sign on your hand, and as reminders (zakharon) between your eyes, in order that the Teaching of YHVH may be in your mouth; that with a mighty hand, freed you YHVH from Egypt:

~

Exodus 13:16

13:16 Vehayu le’oth. And it shall be as sign.

וְהָיָ֤ה לְאוֹת֙ עַל־יָ֣דְכָ֔ה וּלְטוֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֣ין עֵינֶ֑יךָ כִּ֚י בְּחֹ֣זֶק יָ֔ד הוֹצִיאָ֥נוּ יְהֹוָ֖ה מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃        

And it shall be as a sign, upon your hand, and as drippings (reminders) between your eyes; that with a mighty hand, freed us YHVH from Egypt:

~

Comment: From the above we see that the ’oth sign (אוֹת) referred is the blessing of creative selftherapy empowerment. The way it actually defines the ’oth sign (אוֹת) is as follows. The ’oth sign-S / (אוֹת), then “in order that the Teaching-Dprd of YHVH may be in your mouth-Rprd; that with a mighty hand YHVH freed you-Pprd from Egypt.”

In plain English, it’s saying that the creative selftherapy blessing empowerment is PaRaDiSe, the PaRaDiSe App teaching. It is and should always be the teaching which we can have in our mouths, such as an application for everyday usage. The analogy is that just as the Beney Israel Children of Israel (בני ישראל) were freed from slavery in archaic Egypt, so we too, can be freed from bondage of our own making in the modern World of today by remembering that real freedom can only be attained in following the Torah Teaching Bible. That’s precisely why the Torah Bible means Teaching Bible. Torah means Teaching. Hopefully this clears all reasonable doubts.  

Torah Teaching 101

The sense of the grain of the Torah Teaching Bible is Empowerment of the Homo sapiens by making the human being creative, in taking after the Creator, all the while creating it as creature alongside Creation. The idea is to integrate civilization and help in saving Creation.

It boils down to Messianism of religionism or else creative selftherapy of PaRaDiSism empowerment. In lay terms, PaRaDiSe as one whole-S / Triad-PRD parts, or else the parts separate by themselves as P–R–D or PRD of Religionism-D, Philosophism-R, Scientism-P. These powers acting separately is what’s behind our broken world. It’s what’s keeping it broken. The way to make of world whole is simply S/ PRD. Just like there’s only one God out of many gods, one Power out of many powers, as in Elohim Gods (אֱלֹהִים) in Genesis 1:1c. Colloquially, it finds expression in either we hang together or else we hang separately.

In a nutshell, there’s only One (1) Commandment out of the six-hundred thirteen commandments (613) of the sages, or Decalogue (10) of Moses. Be creative! There’s no practical way to do what you can’t even remember. We are under no obligation to do the impossible of six-hundred thirteen commandments (613). Messianism reminds me of the joke of plasma physicists that harnessing peaceful fusion energy is always twenty years away.

Conclusion

Torah means Teaching. The Teacher is the Creator, and we are the student teachers in training to be creatives. The imperative is to be creative by using the PaRaDiSe application teaching of empowerment to integrate civilization and help save creation. Emulate God Creator insofar as we’re made in Its image and Its likeness. The sole lesson taught for a lifetime is PaRaDiSe as the creative self-therapy blessing of empowerment. The chat connection with God continues so long as we continue being creatives / holies. Permanently integrating the triad-PRD to make the whole-S / as in PaRaDiSe.

The idea is to map the universe of our experience as creatives unto that of Creation of the Creator. That is, to map civilization unto Creation by becoming creative beings of empowerment. The short answer is that the Hammitzvah One Commandment in Deuteronomy 6:1, 8 is to chat with God. The long answer is demonstrating that this follows from the primeval version of the Takeaway of the Bible Torah in Genesis 1:1a/alef.

The whole point of this long detour, besides demonstrating that chatting with God is the sweet spot, is to demonstrate the usefulness of the PaRaDiSe application teaching of the larger model to solving everyday concerns. After all is said and done, we’re tamed into the user-friendly creative App teaching.

Now we know that we’re actually commanded to chat with God, what it means to chat with God, as well as how to do the chat with God. Let’s try it right away to bring about real change once and for all in the world. The idea of chatting is an invitation to parley with God as His junior partner in saving Creation by accepting our charge of integrating Civilization. He from Heaven saving Creation and we on Earth integrating Civilization.

In contemporary parlance, it would be to inaugurate Postmodernity with the PaRaDiSe application teaching by way of the creative self-therapy blessing of empowerment. Modernity is a dead star. Posmodernity would be a live star in its place. The Age of Empowerment.

I would like to part with the following thought. At one point in Genesis 32:28-29 on Jacob’s return to Canaan to his brother Esau, the angel asks him what is his name? He then replies, it’s Jacob. The angel then corrects him saying that Jacob is no longer his name, that henceforth it’s Israel because he struggled with God and with men and had prevailed. Same applies here to us, all proportions kept. When asked henceforth what is our name? Respond no more it’s creatures of Creation, but rather we’re Creatives of the Creator. This is so since we’ve chatted with God and fought atavisms of man and prevailed using the PaRaDiSe application of the creative selftherapy blessing of empowerment.

~

Epilogue

There is God, of which we know nothing about. Let’s call It S() in this PaRaDiSe model of empowerment as outside our experience, the inside of the parenthesis. This being the case, then the Name of God would be (S/), inside our experience. After all is said and done, our model of empowerment would now be S(S/PRD). For reasons of left to right written English and right to left written Hebrew, I’ve followed the habit from PaRDeS to PaRaDiSe, but have changed the nomenclature toS(S/PRD) instead of S(S/DRP) which would be more in line.

Now to the title of the essay which conveys the message. We already went through analyzing the close relationship between Deuteronomy 6:8 and its source in Exodus 13:9, 16, and ultimately in Genesis 1:1a/alef, so we won’t go over it again. Rather, we’ll simply take Exodus 13:9 being the most comprehensive for our purposes, though integrating the meaning of totafot drippings (וּלְטוֹטָפֹ֖ת) as zakharon reminders (וּלְזִכָּרוֹן֙).

The title of the essay is now “The Age of Empowerment of the PaRaDiSe Teaching”, but originally was “Chat with God for creative Selftherapy blessing of PaRaDiSe.” We will now proceed to map the old title unto our verse of interest Exodus 13:9, and then later make the ultimate connection with the Universal Principle of Empowerment at Genesis 1:1a/alef.
