Altered States, The Tub

Morgan80203 tells us that the word ביט is yiddish and means a basin or tub. Interestingly, earlier this month, I had a dream about altered states with a tub in it, and also in the tub, an alien who turned out to be human.

Somehow, I feel like I'm down to the wire and being drawn in. Yiddish is a complex synthesis (וה) of the worlds of tohu (ה) and tikun (ו), and much like binah consciousness (in the way of chasdei David hane'emanim1). Hebrew is more "simple" and like chochmah (י) consciousness "prior" to its extension (ו) into the world of tikun.

וה is the part of the divine name יה-וה which refers to hamashiach and/or messianic consciousness (Sefer Hakdamah, referenced in Studies In Ecstatic Kabbalah, Moshe Idel).

This association makes ביט the real-word correspondence to וה and supports that it is the "patach mashiach" to messianic consciousness. The key is with binah, which is chaos and complexity.

Got milk to go with these yiddishe cookies?
