\n\"Holy<\/p>\n

Tikkun 24<\/strong> – 9<\/p>\n

Rabbi Elazar asks in the Zohar : “Does the circumcision<\/a> have equal value for everyone?”<\/p>\n

The Snake<\/a> was the cause of the first sin. The effect was, there became a physical skin that separated Adam and Eve from the Light. The circumcision<\/a> corrects the sin by removing part of that skin, at the level of Yessod<\/a>, which is the point of connection of the light to Malchut<\/a>. This foreskin is buried in the ground where the Snake<\/a> dwells and eats.<\/p>\n

The Zohar’s explanation to Rabbi Elazar’s question teaches us that there are three types of connections. The wicked, the mediocre and the righteous.<\/p>\n

For the wicked, that is a person with only selfish desires, the circumcision<\/a> is a simple correction of the vessel done by delivering the foreskin back to the Snake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 65:25<\/a>
\n“וְנָחָשׁ, עָפָר לַחְמוֹ ”
\n“and dust will be the serpent’s food”<\/p>\n

The blood of the circumcision<\/a> is the food of the minister of negativity, Sam-ael.<\/p>\n

For the mediocre, בנוני, that is a person that balances his desires with acts of sharing, the circumcision<\/a> is considered as bringing sacrifices to the altar. He enjoys the benefits of the light.<\/p>\n

For the righteous, those with only sharing actions and consciousness, the circumcision<\/a> is a direct connection to YHVH<\/a> as it is said in Job 19:26<\/a> “וּמִבְּשָׂרִי, אֶחֱזֶה אֱלוֹהַּ.” “from my flesh I will see God”<\/p>\n

The flesh and blood is just the vessel for the soul to use in drawing the light that was always available to us before the first sin.<\/p>\n

Zechariah 9:11<\/a> “גַּם-אַתְּ בְּדַם-בְּרִיתֵךְ, שִׁלַּחְתִּי אֲסִירַיִךְ מִבּוֹר, אֵין מַיִם, בּוֹ”
\n“As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant (Circumcision<\/a>) I send your prisoners out of the pit where there is no water.”<\/p>\n

The circumcision<\/a> creates opening for us to connect and channel the light. Without it, the soul is like a prisoner, trapped in a physical body. Mortality is brought about by the Snake<\/a> and removing the foreskin brings the light to the process of “be fruitful and multiply”. It creates continuation in the world with the energy of life.<\/p>\n
