Mazda

Mazda is a Japanese automobile manufacturer.

The origin of the brand name comes, first, from the Japanese pronunciation of its founder’s name, Matsuda (松田), and also from the ancient Persian deity Ahura Mazda, the “Wise Lord”.

Mazda in Hebrew is an anagram of “Zeh Adam” (“This is Man”). 
מאזדה 
= זה אדם 

Mazda’s slogan is “Drive together.”

In Mazda, the letter D is written in uppercase. D as in “Deity”. True Wisdom is about finding God within ourselves.

The Logos emerges from a cave, from the womb of the ego.

In the cave or the matrix, a person believes. Once outside, he knows. But the journey is not complete—far from it. Now he must return to the cave to free those still in darkness. The Light can be blinding. The truth may provoke fear, and those in darkness can easily reject it. Socrates says they might even kill the one who brings the Light.

Nissan

“Egypt”, called “Mitsraim” in Hebrew, originates from the word “Metsar” (“Narrowness”).
מצרים 
The myth of the exodus from Egypt symbolizes the world’s liberation from narrow-mindedness, from limits, from the Matrix: leaving one’s mental prison to reach Universal Consciousness.

#Nissan #Crossover

Leaving Egypt is about breaking the artificial boundary between the material and the spiritual. It means becoming aware that there’s more than what our five senses perceive. There is something beyond.

#PasQueMan #Pacman

Pharaoh represents our ego, seeing itself as the master of the world. His army—the darker facets of our unrefined personality—pursues those who seek to escape from Egypt.

The swollen ego is the Chametz, the leavened bread: our pride, our negative inclinations.

For Passover, the Great Passage, we must search for Chametz “in our home,” remove it, and no longer possess it. When we refine our midot, our character traits, the Zeir Anpin (the Son) begins to shine like the sun and illuminates the Shechina, the Divine Presence in this world.

#SpringCleaning

The word Pessach refers to the fact that death “passed over” the houses of the Hebrews during the plague of the firstborn in Egypt (see Exodus 12:13).
פסח

#SuperNess

The exodus from Egypt is celebrated during the festival of Pessach (Passover) from the 15th to the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan.

Within the name “Nissan,” we find the word “Ness,” which in the Bible means “Flag” or “Banner.” Over time, it came to mean “Miracle.”
נס

A Flag serves to manifest, to signal a presence. A Miracle signals the Presence of God. 
The root of “Ness” appears, for example, in “Lenassot” (“To Try”), “Linssoa” (“To Travel”), and “Nissayon” (“Trial”).

Pharaoh represents the world of exteriority, the outside world trying to discourage us from following our Inner Path. Every new birth is a trial.

#CrossingTheDesert

Nissan marks a new passage: the beginning of Spring (“Aviv”), when everything becomes brighter, more vibrant. In Aviv, everything enlivens.
אביב

“Nissan” originates from the Akkadian “Nissanu” (𒊬𒊒𒄀). 
In Sumerian, “Nisag” referred to the “first fruits”.

“Nissan” can also be linked to the word “Netz,” meaning a “Flower” of a fruit tree, but also a “Sparkle.”
נץ

“Netser” means a “Scion,” a shoot, a young branch meant for grafting.
נצר

In the same family, there is also “Nassa”: “To Leave”, “To Cross”, “To Journey”.

#NASA #CelestialChariot

Passover is the rebirth of Spring, the season of eggs, births, and miracles.
Traditionally, an egg is placed on the Passover Seder plate. The egg represents the Temple of the Ego, which must be broken to be Reborn.

#SpringBreak #Ness #Naisse #Birth

Let’s leave Egypt. Onward to Zion.
For that, a Nissan will do the job.

Nissan comes from combining the letters “Ni” (“Nihon”, “Japan”) and “San” (“Sangyo”, “Industry”).

“Ni” 日 means “Sun”, 
“San” 産 “Birth”.

#RisingSon #RisingSun

Nissan comes from the Land of the Rising Sun: it’s a Japanese brand.

#Oil #MotOr #YaPanimAlPanim #MosheMoshi

One of Nissan’s slogans is “Shift”: “To Move”, “To Change”, “To Transform”, “To Evolve.”

The secret of Nissan is the secret of the Vehicle: what serves to transmit the Light, to move from one place to another, to communicate.

#PathToSalvation

It’s not a fancy car that attracts the feminine aspect of the Divine. We attract the Shechina with a beautiful Torah, a New Torah, the path leading us to the Promised Land, our Inner Kingdom, where the Light rises.

It’s a long journey. Don’t forget the Essence.

Oz

The Torah is called “Oz,” meaning “Strength” or “Power” in Hebrew. 
עז

It’s a nice concept. However, at the end of the story, we discover that the Wizard of Oz is simply an impostor—a mere man without true power, using tricks to appear impressive.

The story of the Wizard of Oz is an initiation journey: the Divine (the Force, not of the dark side, but Life, Truth, Infinite Love…) is not found outside in what appears powerful, but within each of us. This is what each main character learns.

The Divine Word is a small voice, the voice of a young girl, like Dorothy Gale, the heroine of the Wizard of Oz. 
The root “Gal” (Gimel + Lamed) corresponds to Revelation (“Guilouy”). 
גל

In 1928, public libraries in America censored The Wizard of Oz, claiming it “portrays strong female characters in leadership roles”. This inner voice, the voice of the Shechina, has always been within us. However, it calls for action, courage, going against the current to reveal the feminine aspect of the Divine, which is in exile and persecuted.

The “Wizard of Oz”, the false god of the Torah of exile, is menacing, jealous, proud, self-centered. He seeks to enslave people to his commands. He orders invasions, killing… But why?

Because God shuns glory, so humble that He veils Himself, appearing as a desert troll, a truly jealous and manipulative monster, not very kind to His people—a sort of mafia Godfather.

God hides behind a devilish mask, encouraging not monotheism but monolatry. This figure is the one God asks us to battle. Yes, the task of each of us in this world is to refine, purify God. Humanity should not merely pray but act: it is God who prays to humanity to act.

Originally, YHVH was a god of the South, coming from Midian, eastern Sinai, Edom, northern Arabia. 

“The Lord appeared from Mount Sinai, shining on Seir for them! He revealed Himself from Mount Paran…” (Deuteronomy 33:2)

“Lord! When you came out of Seir, when you advanced from the region of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens melted, and the clouds turned to water.” (Judges 5:4)

“The Lord came from Teman; the Holy One from Mount Paran, Selah! His splendor covers the heavens, and His glory fills the earth.” (Habakkuk 3:3)

YHVH is a god of storms, thunder, a god of arid lands—a warrior god, tribal in nature. He came from a region crossed by many caravans of merchants. YHVH also came from the land of the Shasu. It was a place where many groups clashed with Egyptian authorities before gaining independence at the end of the Bronze Age, the time when YHVH first appeared.

The Canaanites, ancestors of the Jews, worshipped the god EL, a benevolent sky god often depicted as a wise, bearded old man. They also worshipped Baal, but gradually adopted the worship of YHVH, who eventually replaced Baal, now seen as an enemy due to his similarity to YHVH.

This drawing, found at Kuntillet Ajrud in northeastern Sinai and made about 3000 years ago, depicts YHVH, Baal, and Asherah according to the inscriptions. These people were not gifted artists—what a horror! It’s easy to understand the biblical prohibition of any representation of YHVH.

YHVH was not originally the universally benevolent God conveyed by major monotheistic religions. For followers of these religions to stop fighting each other, they must realize their holy books are simply fables, myths.

Jews should recognize they know YHVH thanks to the Arabs. Christians should realize they know the Messiah concept thanks to the Jews. Muslims, in turn, should realize they know Muhammad thanks to the Christians. The Quran is a fable written long after the death of a figure portrayed as a prophet-warrior, who was, above all, a kind of Christian priest, a Nazarene.

For centuries, antisemites accused Jews of “Satanism”. Yet, in reality, the Jews are the most persecuted in this story—by both the forces below and the forces above.

“Israel” means “One Who Struggles with God”:
“Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with celestial and human powers and remained strong.” (Genesis 32:29)

The Torah is called Oz. Because truth can be painful. Because the true Torah is acquired by fighting oppressive forces, including this “YHVH.”

We must leave Egypt, the world of illusion, to reach Is Real.

“There was evening and there was morning”—everything begins in darkness, and each person’s task is to transform this darkness into Light, to transform YHVH, the brutal desert god, into a Universal God. Rudra becoming Shiva is another example of humanity’s work in refining their vision of the Divine.

God is the source of all the world’s evil, which He created by Tsimtsum (withdrawing Himself), which is, when you think about it, the most terrible thing imaginable.

“In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.” (Genesis 1:1) 
בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ 
The ordinal gematria of the verse = 329

God is humble. He does not want to be idolized. He is so humble that He disguises Himself as YHVH—as the Wizard of Oz, the desert troll, the devil, the mafia godfather, and even a donkey.

It is said that the Messiah will come “on a donkey.” The donkey represents matter (“Chomer” in Hebrew, the same root as “Chamor,” Donkey), matter that each person must refine, revealing the spiritual in the material world…

YHVH is a storm god, and storms mean clouds. According to the Talmud (Sanhedrin 98a), the Messiah will come either on an “Âne” (“Donkey” in French) or on a “Anane” (“Cloud” in Hebrew).

According to ancient stories, Jews worshipped a donkey in secret within the Temple. For instance:

“For Apion dared to say that in this sanctuary, the Jews had erected the head of a donkey (asini caput) and worshiped this animal, considering it worthy of the highest worship. He claims that this was revealed when Antiochus Epiphanes pillaged the temple and discovered this head, made of gold and worth a considerable sum of money.” (Flavius Josephus, Against Apion)

We don’t know if this was true, as there were already many antisemites back then who could have spread such rumors.

Yet there is some truth in it. After all, God hides in matter…

#Yahoo #Search

In ancient Egypt, the donkey represented the god Seth, the god of foreigners, the desert, storms, bloodthirsty and violent. Given the stories of the Exodus, it’s understandable that they associated him with the god of the Hebrews.
Seth was the god of the Hyksos, whose history likely inspired certain biblical stories and characters.

#JediVsSith

Seth is associated with Typhon, Cronos, Satan, but also with Saturn (“Shabbtai” in Hebrew), a planet associated with the Jews. Plutarch and Tacitus wrote that Typhon founded Jerusalem and Judea. The false messiah Shabbetai Tzvi succeeded because, according to some traditions, the Messiah would be linked to Saturn (see Moshe Idel’s book Saturn’s Jews: On the Witches’ Sabbat and Sabbateanism). It’s a planet tied to hidden things. In the Middle Ages, “witches” were accused of going to the “sabbat”…

#OZzy #BlackSabbath

The name of God YHVH was pronounced “Yao” (ΙΑΩ) by the Greeks, and it resembled the bray of a donkey. Moreover, “Yao” meant “Donkey” in Egyptian.

The donkey bears a cross on its back.

The donkey also appears in the first known depiction of the false messiah Jesus (the Alexamenos Graffito). Interestingly, the English word “Ass” means both “Donkey” and “Buttocks.” Here’s your god, fool!

#AssHoly

YHVH is “Y’avait” (“There Was” in French) —the verb “To Have” in the past tense.

Who is God? He is not “Y’avait”; He is above all “Ehyeh”: “I Will Be.”

#SecretOfTheVerb

“Moses said to God, ‘When I come to the children of Israel and say to them, “The God of your fathers sent me to you,” and they say to me, “What is His name?” what shall I say to them?’ God answered Moses, ‘I Will Be Who I Will Be’ (EHYEH ASHER EHYEH).” (Exodus 3:13-14)

God will be what He will be. He is within us. It is up to us to reveal the verb “To Be.” God is within us and will be what we make of Him.

“Ose !” (“Dare” in French)

Bohr

Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist, published a series of three articles in 1913 that introduced the atomic model, a fundamental step toward developing quantum mechanics.

Bohr asserted that the physical characteristics of a quantum particle cannot be predetermined. Einstein closely followed Bohr and the Copenhagen school’s work, but as the father of general relativity, he struggled with this idea.

“God does not play dice!” Einstein famously retorted to Bohr in one of their debates. Bohr reportedly responded, “But who are you, Albert Einstein, to tell God what to do?”

Although their views diverged, the two men deeply respected one another.

“The opposite of a correct statement is a false one. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth”. — Niels Bohr

The Divine can be found even, or especially, when one is “at the edge of the abyss” or “at rock bottom”.

“Even if you think you have distanced yourself so much from God that it’s impossible to draw near to Him, you can still find Divinity even where you have fallen.” — Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

In Hebrew, “Bohr” corresponds to the word “Bor” (“Pit,” “Well”) with an added letter Heh.

The letter Heh is the second (sefira Binah, the Mother) and fourth (Malchut, the Daughter) letter of God’s Name YHVH.

Bowling and the Tetractys

The tetractys is a triangular figure composed of 10 points arranged in four rows: 1, 2, 3, and 4 points.

“Tetractys” (τετρακτύς) means “Fourfold Ray of Light” in Greek. Within it, we find the “Holy Name of 4 Letters”, as the Pythagoreans say, corresponding to the 4 elements, and so on. 
4 like the 4 letters of the Divine Name YHVH 
יהוה 

10 is also the number of sefirot. 

Everything is in the tetractys.

Tetractys

The first word in the Bible with a gematria of 397 is “HaShevii” (“The Seventh”)

“Triangle” is called “Meshulash” in Hebrew.

Gematria = 676

The triangle is also a divine symbol, and we find this tetractys triangle represented in bowling and its 10 pins.

The bowling ball itself has 3 holes arranged in a triangle.

At the time of Humanity’s Salvation, this friendly sport—played with family and friends—will regain all its dignity. Mashiach, in fact, is a bowling champion.

A bowling lane is made up of 39 wooden boards marked with 7 arrows.

The Malchut in exile is “black,” “soiled”.
During the Redemption, however, it will be clean, it will shine. 
Similarly, in a bowling alley, everything is clean, polished, and smooth.

The film The Big Lebowski is the 7th film by the Coen brothers. 
Jeffrey Lebowski is nicknamed “the Dude.” 
The number 7 and the Dude are connected to the sefira Malchut. 
“Dude” resembles “Dod”, which means “Beloved” in Hebrew. 
“Lecha Dodi” (“Come, My Beloved”) is a song sung in the synagogue on Friday night to welcome Shabbat, to welcome the Shechina.

Bowling has a messianic dimension. This is why the Dude’s enemy is Jesus, a character portrayed as arrogant, rude, and truly undesirable. Jesus is a myth, the false new Torah. The film’s French Canadian title is “Erreur sur la personne” (“Mistaken Identity”).

We reach Malchut through the true New Torah of the “Je suis” (I am), by challenging false beliefs and taking action—becoming champions of bowling ourselves.

The Light of the Foot

Without Feet, a Man is not complete. 
Each sefira corresponds to a part of the human body, and the sefira Malchut (the Divine Presence in our world) is represented by the Foot.

Malchut is the sefira that must be “washed” so that God may fully reign on Earth.

“Baal Hanan, son of Achbor, died, and Hadar reigned in his place; the name of his city was Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.” (Genesis 36:39)

In Kabbalah, the “Kings of Edom” represent the World of Chaos, which precedes the World of Rectification. King Hadar symbolizes this transition from chaos to order.

The name of King Hadar’s wife, Mehetabel, meaning “God rejoices,” is an anagram of “Heavy Metal.”
