Unblemished Mitzvah

In Treasure From The Hidden World, in analysis of my natal birth chart, I wrote that the "water" flowing through my soul is an unblemished flowing treasure of the hidden world; that is, Consciousness flows through me as it existed before the shattering of the vessels which occurred in the world of Beriyah, the first world of nature "distinct" or apparently "separate" from the Divine. In other words, the heavens and the earth declare and testify my individuality to be a clear conduit for Divine Awareness, a realized tzelem of the Divine Above Nature, a צלילות of flawlessly lucid clarity.

In kabbalah, the unblemished hidden world is known as the world of nothing (ein, אין), as opposed to the revealed world of something (meumah, מאומה). The Torah story of the akeidah (binding of Yitzchak) informs us that "meumah" is the source of spiritual blemish (a mum).

Meumah has a gematria of 92. Interestingly, there are 92 naturally occurring elements in nature, the world of something.

In contradistinction to meumah, 92 is also the gematria of tzav (צב) which means "command" and "mobilize". Tzav describes Pure Action of immaterial Consciousness, before it enclothes Itself in the natural world of 92 elements - as discussed in my entry, Mitzvah Written In The Stars (Go! and Remember!), and described in Truth And Diligence, Candle In The Womb. Tzav is that which speaks forth the ability to do.

To be clear, pristine meumah is not "blemished". In the process of taking on the materiality of "something" (meumah), Consciousness is vulnerable to becoming blemished via the shattering of the vessels. Consequently, I suggest that vulnerability of meumah to blemish is neutralized by the presence of tzav.

In support of this idea, the combined gematria of meumah and tzav is 184, the gematria of pakod (פקד), meaning remember.
