(ru) dolf: "I had the following phone messages with a male Jewish person
as prostitute, whom I had after 18 months of solitude invited to a
dinner and enjoyment with a bottle of New Zealand (Wisdom Wine) Pinot
Gris. Who after I kissed him, left in a state of abject fear, and ran
naked into the street, and was last seen huddled by a wall holding a
cardboard box to himself as a makeshift girdle whilst calling a friend
on his mobile phone to request he come by car to retrieve him.
0048 hours: "You don't think Balaam and his donkey {ie. a stupid or
foolish person; donkey's years: a very long time; hung like a donkey}
were jealous of you and me? ... But I think one of us has a complex.
Do you think my technology cognitive descriptors were a match for your
conduct for you to feel comfortable with me again?
I like you, but luv if that's going to happen with my being passionate,
we had better try our 1st date position again ..."
0022 hours: "As I said, I know my Kabbalah and I sent you the previous
in the hope that when you get over the enjoyment of me, that there are
some 76 categories associated to #312 and for #267 some 43 including:
Nous: #20

Date: 2009.8.13
Torah: #5 #1 #1 %81 = #7
Dao: Left without Language, Different From the Vulgar

These are attributes of mind taken from the GRAPPLE vCube at the time of
my writing the last message."
2335 hours: "I really don't know why you left as you did #312 / #267 @
#20 - Left without language, different from the vulgar, #50
vastness/wasting, H33 withdrawal."
1428 hours (next day): "I've looked into the Categories of [the
Understanding of the last two messages you have given me]. They emit
empathy with my remarks last night (re: Balaam) and are fine and OK as
you say. The last message was Category #173 for male / female as: Father
of pleasure, valley, to shut up or to confine oneself.
I'm wondering though if you have ever been in prison or detained and if
that memory is the cause."
"We are all warriors, each of us splattered with the dirt and grime of
the battlefield. Our Sages tell us that each person must wage war with
the evil impulses that stream through his mind. A philosopher once
remarked that if man would be held accountable for his every thought, we
would all be hung. It�s a sad but true understanding of what our usual
reality is. We try hard, we work on ourselves, but it�s a battle that
never seems to cease.
What then keeps us on the field? Where do we gain the armor to protect
ourselves? There is but one source of all such weaponry, and that is
found in Hashem�s will. One of the greatest difficulties in bringing
disengaged Jews closer to Torah is that they have no frame of Torah
reference to relate to. Yidden who live a life filled with Torah
awareness have a huge amount of positive connections with Hashem that
stems from memories of mitzvos done and cherished. When things seem
bleak, they can call up these experiences and with them temper the
difficulties they face. What can you say to those without any such
memory bank? They too face life�s difficulties, but to them, there is
nothing in their Jewish experience that calls forth any positive hope.
Many would be astounded at the depth of ignorance that vast numbers of
Jews have about our mesora. Basic concepts have never been heard of and
certainly not lived, so although Jewish in name, they have none of our
shared historic faith in Hashem. They face the battlefields of life with
nothing but a title of a people who aren�t all that loved. When the
times become difficult, they flounder in the mire and blame that very
name for their pain.
�Where was G-d?� �Why me?� These are questions that Torah Jews don�t
usually ask, simply because they have lived with Hashem through so many
times that they have stored up an ocean of faith. The Maggid of
Mehzeritz once noted, �Just as a man cannot look at the sun face to face
but is able to utilize its light, so he cannot comprehend Hashem but he
is free to utilize His light; namely, a person�s own thoughts and
spiritual emotions.� Emotions created by a sensitivity to Hashem�s will
can bring one closer to Him and give strength to continue in the daily
war over our inclinations." [By Rabbi Yitzchok Rubin, Tehillim -- The
Rhythm of the Heart, Tehillim Chapter 79, Project Genesis: 2009.8.11]
