This may seem kind of strange because I still have both my legs, perhaps my phantom legs were cut off, I don't know. But the realm of our internal qualities is unseen and there are events that take place that are also unseen.
It is written, "[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all." (Quran 26:49, Sahih, http://quran.com/26) Do not be afraid, God is with us and there is none else besides Him.
This event has a positive meaning: A standing human spells YHVH (YAHWEH or Jehovah) where the Yud is the head, the first Hei is the arms, Vav is the torso and the last Hei is the legs. The legs are Malchut, which is us today.Having my legs cut off and replaced means the old Malchut (the quality of selfishness) will be cut off and replaced with a new Malchut (the quality of bestowal).
Oscar Pistorius - The Man With New Legs
At the 2012 Summer Olympic in London, South Africa's Oscar Pistorius became the first double leg amputee to compete in the Olympic games.
In the 400 metres race, he took second place in the first heat of five runners. First place is our first quality of selfishness and second place is our second quality of bestowal. In this case, coming in second was better than coming in first.
When Oscar was 11 months old, both his legs were amputated and he now wears new prosthetic legs. In 2013, he shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
This story may seem tragic, but in the spiritual realm it means something positive:
- When his legs were cut off, it means the quality of selfishness will be cut off. When he uses new prosthetic legs, it means the new quality of bestowal will be used.
- The killing of his girlfriend Reeva, means the quality of selfishness will be killed, and the quality of bestowal will come to life.
- I'm not saying that people should go out and kill their girlfriends or women, not at all, we should only seek to benefit others. I'm saying that God uses negative events to mean something positive. In front of God we are all feminine and we are all equal.
The Battle For The Quality Of Bestowal
The people of Israel are soldiers engaged in a fierce spiritual battle/war, to fight off the quality of selfishness and be in the quality of bestowal, so they can return to God in quality.
The war is about changing our internal qualities from selfishness to bestowal, seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves. In this way, we'll become connected with each other in mutual concern and responsibility and we'll become connected to God in quality.
When Israel succeeds in their battles, they bring back the spoils of war, which they give to the nations of the world. The spoils of war are treasures of The Kingdom of Heaven.
The treasures of The Kingdom of Heaven come in various forms: revelations, new information such as an explanation about selfishness and bestowal, spiritual awakenings, details about how to connect with one another, information about how to organize our society in mutual responsibility, spiritual pleasure etc.
No matter what we go through and no matter what happens to Israel or to the nations of the world, remember:
- Do not be afraid, God is with us
- Negative things mean something positive
- Everything has purpose
- We are all in this together
- We are all one family, we just have different roles to play
- All states that we're in change over time
