Secret of the Unity
By HaRav Ariel Bar Tzadok. Copyright (C) 2009 by Ariel Bar Tzadok. All rights reserved.
It is so very interesting to read about the pioneering discoveries of modern science. Quantum Physics is making discoveries that sound so eerily like the revelations discussed centuries ago in Kabbalistic literature. You may consider this as interesting as do I and then pause to ask, so what? What relevance does this have to my life and my personal concerns? Whether you know it or not, this information is not only relevant, it is vital. Our entire futures depend upon this startling knowledge now coming out of the shadows and into the mainstream.

The secret traditions in Torah, with their origins in the prophetic traditions dating back to Sinai have always proclaimed (within the secret circles that have had access to this information) that everything in reality is ultimately interconnected and that every reality is essentially part of the greater reality of the Creator. This is the secret of the Unity proclaimed as the foundation of the Torah faith, when we recite Shema Yisrael, YHVH our G-d YHVH is one. The oneness spoken of here is not a statement about the personage of the Divine but rather of the absolute unity of all things that have their source in the Creator; and this means everything.

Torah legend states that in the beginning G-d gazed into the Torah and from it created reality. Needless to say the authors of this legend were trying to reveal to us a profound scientific truth far beyond the mere mythological understanding that this type of teaching invokes. In its original state Torah is not a book or a scroll. In its original state Torah is not even physical; it is not an object that can be touched, taken, read or understood, at least not within the context that we do so today. The original Torah existed outside of this reality and served as the information source from which this reality came into existence.

Science understands now that the universe did have an origin; science believes that it has proven, beyond faith, that there was indeed a creation. Yet, what atheistic secular science asks is what caused this creation? What started it all? Science postulates that prior to our reality there must have existed in some parallel dimension some form of information that penetrated this reality. This was the infusion of the original energy that caused the big bang and thus gave rise to our reality. This information is the source of what science calls the laws of nature. Thus natural law did not come into existence by itself; but rather it came from somewhere else.

Secret Torah traditions explain in great detail the nature of these other realities, giving them names, descriptions and relationships. All this information is not considered conceived by human minds, but rather received in full as revelation from some higher source from some other place. What this suggests is that the other realities and dimensions are accessible to the human mind. Indeed, the prophetic traditions are predicated upon training and expanding human consciousness beyond the confines of this monolithic reality upon which we focus with our physical senses.

The original Torah that existed outside of our space/time/consciousness continuum congealed itself into a form that was able to be received here in this dimensional plane. This is the Torah that we commonly know within the Jewish religion. Sages throughout the centuries have said that while the surface level of Torah creates the Jewish religion, the underlying teachings reveal much more about the true nature of the universe. Thus when the legend states that G-d gazed into the Torah and from it created reality, this must mean that all of our reality has its origins in Torah. Therefore, if all reality exists within Torah, then Torah must exist in all of reality.

The presence of primordial Torah is the subatomic information that exists in everything in existence. It is this Torah that thus binds everything together and ultimately merges all reality into one concentric whole. Regardless of the perceived diversities in reality, ultimately everything in existence is following the instructions of information emanating from a single source. This then is the secret of the unity of G-d spoken of in the Shema Yisrael recitation.

------------------------------Torah has always proclaimed the great unity that science only now begins to understand. While science acknowledges the unity, they have not yet come to understand its significance. Torah Sages have not suffered from this limitation. They knew and know all too well that unity is not just a scientific theory or just another irrelevant scientific fact. Torah Sages have been shown that when one penetrates the Torah's surface and delves into its true essence, one can indeed tap into the greater information underlying all of existence. This is the actual function of expanding consciousness. The unity underlying reality therefore is not detached from us. We are part of that unity and we can train ourselves to experience and embrace this greater reality.

What science now postulates, Torah had long ago revealed. Science discovers by intellectual inquiry what is already there. Science however is limited to the cognitive and the rational; therefore intuitive and psychic inquiries are dismissed and denied. Sages, on the other hand, suffered no such limitations; those properly trained were able to receive revelations through the expansion of human consciousness and experience that which science would only discover much later as science and technology enabled the rational mind to expand its limited and limiting boundaries.

Torah has always proclaimed the great unity that science only now begins to understand. While science acknowledges the unity, they have not yet come to understand its significance. Torah Sages have not suffered from this limitation. They knew and know all too well that unity is not just a scientific theory or just another irrelevant scientific fact. Torah Sages have been shown that when one penetrates the Torah's surface and delves into its true essence, one can indeed tap into the greater information underlying all of existence. This is the actual function of expanding consciousness. The unity underlying reality therefore is not detached from us. We are part of that unity and we can train ourselves to experience and embrace this greater reality.

The world in its present format is an expression of our perceptions. We see what is and what is, is what we see. However, what if we could see more than what we presently see? What could we accomplish if we only possessed greater vision? Psychic intuitive vision grants us such greater vision and enables us to experience reality beyond our present limited scope. When we see more we know more, when we know more, we understand more; when we understand more, the decisions we make are radically different from those made in relative ignorance. Torah Sages, like many others in cultures around the world in every time and place have known this and have served as beacons of conscious light to guide their peoples to experience a greater destiny for humanity.

We all live in a reality which is guided by a singular guiding intelligence. "There is a purpose to all things under Heaven." Yet, those who do not know how to see live in a state of relative blindness, therefore for them life is a raging war between good and evil, Heaven and Hell. They perceive life as a conflict and themselves in constant turmoil. They may proclaim the unity with their lips, but they are very far from realizing it and experiencing it within their personal contexts and reality. Like the secular atheistic scientist, the religious individual who proclaims the unity but does not experience it is equally blind and subject to the forces of harsh nature.

Torah Sages who expand their consciousness to experience the greater reality know how to live and move in a multidimensional existence. They recognize that good and evil, light and darkness all serve the greater purpose and that the individual with insight can see how to navigate life in this world for the best and thus avoid all its worst.

What you see is what you have. What you think creates your reality. Change the way you think and you will discover how to change your reality. There is no magic here. It is simply the application of natural law. When one delves into the source of the information underlying natural law (Torah), one can therefore understand natural law and learn how to flow along with it for the greater good of existence.

We were given Torah for just this purpose. Torah connects us to nature. Nature connects us to the supernatural. The supernatural connects us to the Creator. All is one, and One is in all. When we experience this consciousness of the unity, we will know what this means. Beyond this, words can no longer suffice.

Contemplate the Daleth of Ehad(th) as Torah law stipulates and in this you may gain some insight. In my next essay I will cover the proper way to perform this and the contemplations (meditations) one should consider while reverberating the proper sound.
