MESSIANIC CONSCIOUSNESS PRAYER MEDITATIONS
There is a Universal pattern....a pattern that first appears in the Kabbalistic 'Tzimtzum''Creation Process, and then goes on to manifest in the Tikun of the Cosmic Breakage Process, and repeats itself in multiple fashion in history and nature and human behavior....
The first phase is characterized by Divine light that is so bright and clear, that it leaves little or no room for seeing things in any other way.... whether it is expressed as the Endless Light at the inception of Creation or the light of the Garden of Eden at the inception of human history or the Hidden light [Ohr Ganuz] with which a foetus in the womb sees from one end of the Universe and of their life and of their life's mission and of their personal portion of Torah--to the other end....
Then suddenly, the light is replaced by darkness...Mankind is tossed out of Eden--the foetus is born with nothing but a subconscious memory or image of the light it once saw....The darkness phase has a duration that is many many times longer than the duration of the initiallight phase....
The final phase is the restoration of the original light---a restoration phase that unlike the the 1st light-phase, promises to remain in place eternally.......
Perhaps the deepest lesson that we can learn from this Universal pattern, is that in order for the light filled final phase to remain in place permanently----it must derive the lessons learned from themiddle stage of darkness.....Light only shines forever when it is the birth product [and ultimate contrast] of darkness....
What I'd like to now present, in a prayer format, is a futuristic perspective of Messianic consciousness....My hope and prayer is that by revealing a bit of the nature of the ultimate light that awaits us all, we will be able to see our way clear to learning how to overcome the obstacles that presently are holding us back from moving out of the darkness and into the light....
Let it be Hashem's Will that our humble attempt at portraying and praying for an ideal Messianic state of consciousness [based on classic sources drawn from our Sages], should serve to open up a small opening from down below, that will a huge opening to open up from Above, and that we witness the true world Tikun of Messianic consciousness that we've been anticipating for so long...
THE PRAYER MEDITATIONS
Ribbono Shel Olam---Master of the Universe
The Sages of our Oral Torah,
especially those representing
our homiletical perspective of Midrash and Aggadata,
teach us that the Messianic era will bring with it
a shift in consciousness...
We ask that the portrait that they portray,
become a reality that begins right now
to manifest in our hearts
and in our individual lives
and in the entire world....
***PROPHECY
Open up for one and allthe gates of prophecyand the gates of Universal G-d seeking and knowing....
***WELLSPRINGS
Open up the physical wellsprings that are destined to overflowwith blessed and healing waters,as well as the spiritual wellsprings of expanded wisdom and consciousness....
***FRUITFULNESS
Open up the innate power of the fruitless trees of the field--to bear fruit of quantity and quality never before known--And open up as well,the wombs of the mothers who had always experienced hardship in bearing children...Help them bear childrenof a quantity and qualitynever before known--Please open up as well peoples ability to reproduceand bear spiritual fruit in their deeds and wisdom spiritual impact in the world....
***NATURE'S SHIFT
Open up for us , the reality of a shiftin nature itself,when the lion and the lambwill dwell together peacefully,and nations will no longer lift uptheir swords against other nations....and disease and death and sorrowwill be banished forever,where the moon will shine with the intensity of the sun, and the sun will shine with 7 times more intensity than that...where darkness itself will be transformedinto light....
***HOLY NATION
Open for us the reality of Your Holy Nationrealizing it's destinyand being restored to it's former glory,and beyond.... Restore to us the spiritual Crownsthat we lost at Mt. Sinai,as a result of the sin of the Golden Calf... Restore us to our rightful role among the nations---as priest and teachers and bearers of Divine light,instead of being objects ofridicule and hate and antisemitismansd self effacing assimiation... Open up our eyes to seehow all those who intended to destroy uswill be destroyed... Allow us to witness a timewhen not only will we be removedfrom the exile,but the exile will be extricated from within us... Open our eyes to see our city Jerusalem and it's Holy Temple,along with the rest of the Holy Land,rebuilt and restored in all of its physical and spiritual splendor... And speedily bring Mashiach to lead the wayin all of this magnificent birth process,and guide him to open up a global consciousness transformation... and let the dead riseand the evil inclination be banished....
***CONSCIOUSNESS SHIFT
Open up for us the reality of a true shift in consciousness,whereby hearing and understandingwill be replaced by seeing...and 'intended-outcome type of thinking'will be replaced by total prescence...'There and then thinking' will be replaced by 'here and now thinking'...'Moving toward thinking' and'Intended outcome thinking'will be placed by'All is perfection just the way it is thinking'... Open up for us a reality whereTime itself will be replaced by timelessness...Finiteness gives way to infinity...Puzzle-piecing gives way to completeness...Getting there gives way to being here...Seeking out Hashem gives way toseeing Hashem everywhere and all the time....
***ANTICIPATION
Open up for usthe thirst and yearning and anticipationto cry outfor the onset of this Messianic consciousness,and to not be satisfied with anything less,not with the 2nd or 3rd rate type of existencewe are steeped in at the present time... And just like in the initial stages of the Exodus from Egypt,when the slaves screamed out a primal wordless scream to be redeemed,and You Hashem did not ignore themnor refuse to reply as you didso splendidly,so too now Dear Gd,plant inside of our hearts and mouths, this same primal scream--so powerful, that You will not refuse to reply immediately and splendidly.... Amen
