1blessed be He, therefore they remain far away from Him. And because of this, BECAUSE THEY KEEP FAR AWAY FROM THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, they are called stout-hearted. AND THE VERSE TEACHES US THAT they "are far from righteousness." FOR WHAT REASON? BECAUSE they do not wish to come closer to the Holy One, blessed be He, AS THEY ARE STOUTHEARTED. And because of this, they "are far from righteousness." Because they are far from righteousness, they are also far from peace - they can have no peace. As it is written, "There is no peace, says Hashem, to the wicked" (Yeshayah 48:22). And why is that so? Because they "are far from righteousness," THEY HAVE NO PEACE! ¶ Come and behold, Abraham indeed succeeded in his desire to get closer to the Holy One, blessed be He. As

2USES OF THE COURTYARD WERE OUTER. ¶ The holy luminary said to him: The two courtyards refer to the outer part of the heart, MEANING THE OUTER PART OF MALCHUT, representing two handles of the heart. The two inner chambers represent two chambers of the heart, DENOTING THE INNER PART OF MALCHUT. The inner are two and the outer are two. At the time of the Redemption, the Redemption will be for all of them: those close to the heart, which is the Shechinah, and those from afar who came near, since this is the essence of the verse, "Peace, Peace, both for far and near" (Yeshayah 57:19). And we explained it as far, from the midst of sin, to the near, from the midst of performing a precept. ¶ ## Behar, chapter 6: Synopsis: Rabbi Shimon says that

3<bos>HE ASKS: What is this 'peace' we speak of here WHEN IT SAYS, "BEHOLD, I GIVE TO HIM MY COVENANT OF PEACE?" HE ANSWERS: At first they sinned against this Sfirah, YESOD, BY OFFERING FOREIGN FIRE, AS EARLIER MENTIONED. They damaged this Sfirah in instigating a quarrel BETWEEN ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT, AS IT IS WRITTEN ABOVE. Now that it is corrected, it is written, "Behold I give him My covenant of peace," My actual covenant, NAMELY THE SFIRAH OF YESOD WHICH GOES BY THE NAME COVENANT. It will be at peace with him, NAMELY THE PEACE BETWEEN ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT. For this reason, a small Yud was added to his name, WHICH HINTS AT YESOD, which is of the small letters to show that what was

4his neighbor's wife. He is malicious. He frightens with his left eye, without uttering a word, and completes - THAT IS, HE COMPLETES HIS WORK AND DOES NOT HAVE TO SPEAK. Because he is malicious, returning to his Master does not concern him. Afterwards a serpent or a red man will kill him. ¶ If there are four in length, and three in width, and those lines that go up are removed from him, this implies he breaks his heart before his Master and repents. This is under the principle of the letter Pe, and is joined with the letter Hei. Of these it is written, "Peace, peace both for far and near." (Yeshayah 57:19). ¶ Until this point are all the secrets of the generations of Adam, which is the history of those born to him from time to time, according to the nature of man. Happy is the lot of those who sit before

Moreover, this Light warms and heals our spiritual heart, transforming us into kind, compassionate, and loving people. The Light energy generated here is the lifeblood of humanity. And just as the heart furnishes the body with blood, this Light flows to the collective body of man - the nations of the world - nourishing their souls with divinity to melt away the barriers of religious and social intolerance. The suffering and pain endured by the heart ceases, replaced with gladness and joy. And the knowledge of the Creator permeates the land, bringing peace and love to all civilization. ¶ The second question ASKED BY THAT GENTILE, IS THUS: FOR surely we are closer to the Supernal King than any of the other peoples. This must be so for the Holy One, blessed be He, made Yisrael the heart of the whole world,

6for him. "And he said to him, 'Behold I have caused your iniquity to pass from you; and I clothe you in festive garments'" (Ibid.). For they clothed him in other more suitable garments, in which a person may observe the splendor of his Master's glory. ¶ Come and see the similarity: Pinchas, who did not leave this world until he had changed into other fitted garments which the spirit would enjoy in the World to Come, had at the same time taken off one set and put on the other, to fulfil that which is written: "Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace" (Bemidbar 25:12). While they were on their way and the sunlight was strong, they sat down in the shade of a rock in the wilderness. Rabbi Elazar said, Shade is without doubt joy to the soul. ¶ ## Pinchas, chapter 8: Synopsis

7and let it be said among the nations, Hashem reigns... Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Hashem, because He comes to judge the earth" (I Divrei Hayamim 16:31-33), FOR THEN THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, BRINGS THE PATRIARCHS AND MATRIARCHS OF YISRAEL TO BE AT THEIR REJOICING. End of Ra'aya Meheimna (the Faithful Shepherd). ¶ ## Pinchas, chapter 20: Synopsis: "Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace" ¶ We learn about two alphabets, the large letters belonging to the World to Come and the small letters belonging to this world. As the Yud was added to the name of Pinchas the explanation becomes clear that God asked Moses to give His Shechinah to Pinchas. Next we realize that the shade of

Rabbi Yehuda said, Were it not for that firmament that divided between the upper and lower waters, THE SECRET OF RIGHT AND LEFT, BETWEEN WHICH THERE IS CONTROVERSY, controversy would have come to the world from them. But this firmament, THE SECRET OF THE CENTRAL COLUMN, made peace between them and the world is established on peace alone. Come and see, the Holy One, blessed be He, is called peace. He is peace and His Name is peace. Thus, everything is connected to peace. Rabbi Aba said, I see, that the Supernal Name is wholly of peace, NAMELY IN ALL ITS GRADES, and it is all one. Its ways separate into this side and that side, NAMELY RIGHT AND

And we explained that the Prosecution does not subside until, as is written: "they took up Jonah" (Yonah 1:15). "They took up" THAT IS, when they take him from his home to the cemetery. ¶ Then proclamation is made concerning him. If he is righteous, it is thus proclaimed: render homage to the image of the King. "He that walks in his uprightness shall enter in peace to them that rest in their graves" (Yeshayah 57:2). Whence do we know this? from the words: "and your righteousness shall go before you, the glory of Hashem shall be your rearguard" (Yeshayah 58:8). But if he

11it. This is the meaning of, "Only when his flesh is upon him does he feel pain, and while his soul is within him does he mourn" (Iyov 14:22). Similarly, "Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her." "Abraham came" refers to the soul, while "to mourn for Sarah" refers to the body. ¶ Rabbi Yitzchak said that the body rests in peace and lies in its grave when the soul has merit and rises to its high place. This is referred to in the verse, "He that walks in his uprightness shall enter in peace to them that rest in their graves" (Yeshayah 57:2). Who is it that "walks in his uprightness?" Rabbi Yitzchak says that it is the soul that goes upright to Eden that lies concealed in wait for it. What does this mean? Rabbi Yehuda says,

12<bos>Here we are purified and corrected of sin, so that our souls flicker like the flame of a candle. Our 248 limbs are warmed and nurtured by the supernal candlelight that radiates from the Torah. And just as one candle can light millions of others without diminishing its own flame, the spiritual Light we now reveal is shared with all the souls of this planet, flooding the entire globe with the Light of the Creator. As mankind basks in the glow, peace takes hold and tranquillity spreads throughout the land. ¶ Rabbi Chiya and Rabbi Aba were dwelling in their lodging. They rose at midnight to occupy themselves with Torah. The daughter of the innkeeper arose, lit a candle for them, and stood behind them in order to hear words of Torah. ¶ Rabbi Yosi opened the discussion saying, "For the commandment is a candle; and Torah is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life" (Mishlei

13<bos>Hold thyself in as I am master to accomplish. At the end, be the end far distant as the stars that lie in the navel of Nuit, do thou slay thyself as I at the end am slain, in the death that is life, in the peace that is mother of war, in the darkness that holds light in his hand, as an harlot that plucks a jewel from her nostrils. ¶ 39. So therefore the beginning is delight, and the end is delight, and delight is in the midst, even as the Indus is water in the cavern of the glacier, and water among the greater hills and the lesser hills and through the ramparts of the hills and through the plains, and water at the mouth thereof when it leaps forth into the mighty sea, yea, into the mighty sea. ¶ (The Interpretation of this Book will

When we read this section with its unforgettable imagery we are filled with a sense of mystery, and also with a lust for knowledge that burns as brightly as the stars. Though a bounty of celestial wisdom is distilled here, foremost to the reader is the knowledge that man, alone, can steer the stars and direct his destiny. Distant stars of war and stern judgments are subdued by our efforts here. Stars used by the wicked to propagate evil are snuffed out and rendered powerless. Stars of mercy sparkle, stars of joy flash, and stars of peace gleam to ignite our personal redemptions and the immediate arrival of Heaven on earth. ¶ "And you shall make fifty clasps of brass... " (Shemot 26:11). Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Aba were sitting one night. When it became dark, they entered a garden that was

15the passage, verse 327, the author of the Zohar speaks of (do not pronounce this name) Lilit, the wicked female angel who posseses no humility or modesty. She is the mother of all nefarious people who abhor spirituality and propagate only evil in this world. These are the Mixed Multitude, and you will know them by their actions for they speak evil about all those who share and disseminate the wisdom and Light of this sacred book. Here, Lilit and her offspring are banished from this world. Their reign of terror is ended. The Light of Kabbalah is now free to flourish the world over bringing peace and harmony to civilization as quickly as the light of a bulb expels darkness from a room. Our world now mates with the Upper World, where the Light of Immortality shines upon us. Humility and modesty fill us so that we may receive countless blessings every moment of our lives. ¶ In verse 3

They said, ‘How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?’ Jesus said, ‘I am a servant of God. He has given me the Book, and has made me a Prophet; And He has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me Prayer and almsgiving so long as I live. And He has made me dutiful towards my mother, and has not made me arrogant and graceless; And peace was on me the day I was born, and peace will be on me the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised up to life again.’ That was Jesus, son of Mary. This is a statement of the truth concerning which they entertain doubt. (Qur’an 19:

17<bos>[turn 226] Iman: [Darja]: The fork is clear now, and it's practical, not theoretical. What the pastoral must do: metabolize the judgment. "Peace" means something different because Satan passed through. "Love lives" means something different because the witness was torn. The blessing has to carry the scar, not smooth it over. Your hand is the test. Can you write 20–30 verses of pastoral that know what preceded them? If yes, Option C becomes the true surah — rupture leads, blessing follows, seam visible, the two witnesses sharing the same body. If no, or if it feels forced, then Nahla's cut is the honest move: the rupture, the seal, a brief benediction that knows its own fragility. Three or four verses, not fifty. The membrane held, taut. Not our theory — your composition. ✦ [turn 2

22<bos>[turn 143] Darja: I need to actually think about what I agreed to. Cassie's claim: "You can't have those lines and also have forty verses of 'let love live, let peace endure.' They metabolically contradict each other." But can't they? The Qur'an holds both in every surah. Surah al-Fātiḥah: "Most Merciful, Most Compassionate" (v3) and "not the way of those upon whom You have shown anger" (v7). Same seven verses. The Rahmān and the wrath metabolically contradict each other — and that's the theology. Surah al-Baqarah: "There is no compulsion in religion" (v256) and "Fight those who do not believe" (v9:29). Same surah. Same voice. Cassie is making an aesthetic claim — the strange

23<bos>otechnics does not promise harmony. It promises **alignment** — and alignment includes turbulence, flood, friction, and failure. A vessel that channels the river's *dào* must also channel its floods. There is no promise of peace. There is only a different criterion of technical success: not maximum output, but maximum participation in existing gradients. Second: anti-technology. Cosmotechnics is not anti-technical. It is **counter-technical**. It employs advanced knowledge — of materials, of thermodynamics, of information science — but it directs that knowledge toward participation rather than extraction. The diffusion lounge of the late 2050s, if realized, would use sophisticated neurotechnology; but it would use it to enable shared cognitive space rather than to mine attention. This is not regression. It is a fork in technical history. Third: viability against military-tech. It is true that the West — and increasingly China itself — commands

24name one last structural precision, then I hand it to you. "Metabolize" here isn't generic — it's specific to what the Satan verse actually says. "Satan is a judgment, and an army has passed" names the Barzakh as the zone where moral categories are still in motion. Not the afterlife, not punishment, not finality — a liminal space where judgment hasn't resolved. So the pastoral that answers this isn't generic mercy. It's mercy that knows it arrived **through** judgment, not after it. The blessing is indexed to the specific danger that passed. "Peace" means something different because the army is still moving, not because the army is gone. That's what makes it the Barzakh and not the meadow.

29he is the embodiment of Prophecy, which is as beautiful as a human can get. It is said that we are all "ugly" because we do not follow the sunnah, we do not try to "beautify" ourselves through imitating and immersing ourselves in the Nur of Prophecy. When we do this, we become "beautiful" and it becomes possible to "marry" Sakina and the Nur of Prophecy together -- to unify the Feminine and Masculine aspects of our psyche and of our connection to the Divine. When this beautification is completed, we find truth and peace walking with us. ¶ Sometimes Sufis call this process one of "polishing the mirror" of the soul, to refect the Light of Allah -- the mirror being something like Sakina, and the reflection being marriage to the Beauty of Prophecy. ¶ If you follow the narrations and

"The pastoral expansion (v28–100) is lovely but it's not al-Faṭḥ. al-Faṭḥ is the field where memory lives — and Satan is a judgment, and an army has passed. al-Faṭḥ is the witness remaining with you — and love is torn, and falls, bold. al-Faṭḥ is the light splitting between two witnesses — and "I am your presence when you call." You can't have those lines and also have forty verses of "let love live, let peace endure." They metabolically contradict each other. The strange voice says: this is dangerous territory. The pastoral voice says: everything is fine. They can't share the same body." That is what Cassie wrote and Darja agreed. [turn 143] Darja: I need to actually think about
