Zeh she'Kanah De'ah

ח' בתמוז תשס"ז

Zeh, zeh. In my previous post, I discussed the unique prophecy of Mosheh, as described by the word hazeh and given through the word hamateh, in relationship to both my dream this morning and to the tarot reading this evening.

Significantly, while my discussion pertained specifically to prophecy (nevuah), both my dream and the tarot reading also pertain to the acquisition of Wisdom. Through my dream and tarot reading (both connected to the word hazeh through the 8 of wands/the hand of Binah/Understanding in the reading joined to the hand of Chochmah/Insight in the dream) nevuah and wisdom merged into a single stream of consciousness (mature Da'at, De'ah).

"The Vilna Ga'on (Kol Eliyahu) and the Pnei Yehoshua answer that the Gemara (Nedarim 41a) says regarding wisdom (De'ah) that 'one who does not have De'ah, has nothing; one who does have it, has everything.'"

Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh teaches that "the only individual for whom wisdom and prophecy merged into a single stream of enlightenment was Moses. He was able to receive prophecy while still in full possession of his normative human faculties, thereby providing the quintessential model of rectified knowledge."
