Chanukah: the Dawning of the Feast of Lights

On the Miracles…

The miracle of rekindling the most sacred of bonds; as children of the Maccabees, Brethren and sisters of mankind. With our ancestors watching over our shoulders from the starry skies, and G-d Almighty guiding His whole universe in the way of His light, meant to lead us out of darkness since the world literally began.

A great miracle however, was to take lead of the downwards course of events; the cause of justice soared steadily throughout the lands and seas of ancient Judea, and this cause led to the start of A great miracle.

Thus, before we even realized it ourselves,

The People of Israel watched, alongside the entire world,

as,

A Great Miracle Happened;

Here,

and There.

While A Flying Scroll floats on eternally above us all….

United, We still Stand, through our ancient glory, we continue to overcome obstacles seemingly impossible to have had ever achieved. Through this determination, our unstoppable leaps of faith, combined With The Hope — although frail — will never allow the loss of our site: That which was the vision of our ancestors, who could see the radiance in a world of utter despair—That which shall be the vision of the future inhabitants of Judea…

To look back at our ancestors’ strife—-or Before ancient Judea was governed by it’s rightful owners, the Judeans—Jews—or descendants of the tribes of Israel—The land of Judea was mostly vast desert and in ruin under failed tyrannical leaderships— generations of our peoples lived in utter despair and gloom—as did all citizens enslaved by the kingdoms of Syria and Greece, etc.… Before the common era, Judea was seized by the enemies of peace, with the Jews in exile or living in a world of slavery, and total darkness. Fortunately, Our Maccabean ancestors—along with the spirit of liberty and G-d —were triumphant in battle, and in successful political change by way of democratic forces governing our rebuilt temple, and newly founded, free society. Indeed, this was one of the first times this was ever recorded— that is, the evidence of the miracles our ancestors witnessed through Our Creator and our Will to transform Ourselves into warriors for HaShem, Jewish rebels, as odd as it may always sound. Modern Israel was reborn because of this same zeal. Our Maccabean Spirit leapt Newborn in 167 BCE, as it was set free as predicted by our prophets—by the brave hearts of our past. Finally, we the maccabees, found our opportunity to rebel against the tyrannical regime of our forefathers, and win a revolution against the idol-worshipping society formerly governing the peoples of our land. We risked it all for Adonai, finding our roots en route to our destiny that led us out of hiding from beneath the shadows of our caves of persecution, where we hid from our enslavers until we no longer would. In triumphant strength, did the Maccabees battle and win an impossible war, for freedom and justice prevailed for the first time in thousands of years. Our people would be free, for the moment, at least, oh what a miraculous thing it is–to be able to watch and understand, that a single candle can light up a room of darkness, even when it is out-numbered in its shine, and even when we are out-armed, 100, or 9 ,to 1. Through the Strength of Our Almighty Creator, the Hand of G-d Prevailed over tyranny, even in our world’s gloomiest hours, when the rebels of the BCE chose to act on the gut of their warrior souls. And it worked, it always works, it always will work. For, we’ve survived.

Only through This same Hope, can our spirits be kept alive; Bound by a shared purpose we once sought, in houses divided. Through struggle and triumph we are found; for the greatest of rewards are received through faith beyond belief; our hard earned will to prevail—sealed within the unity of brotherhood, the dream worth the wait; a union indivisible for the rest of our days, And so we give eternal thanks. As we acknowledge the blessings we know to be true, our rivers which flowed from opposite streams, we return to the waves of love which also turned the tides to bore, the onset of a secret meeting location–A vast ecosystem which lies in the depths of the ocean blue floor. That is, underneath the Liberty Tree can one peace-seeking individual find, this mysterious other world, yet comfortable and calm, genuine and divine. Within the depths of the ocean blue, are these natutal resoervoirs, not built by mankind, as these sparks of water and light hydrate the souls of all of us, creatures and humans of mankind. A connection in This unique World of Faith Beyond Belief, a bond which connects all the living, as it keeps us alive. This Hope gives life to all on Earth. It’s probably the strongest-emotional attribute that most humans share—as it stems from G-d’s Mercy, for His People to seek out in the worst moments of Despair. So, too, the creatures gliding beneath our toes, are connected to our livelihood. For, our survival, too, depends on this same life-stream. Irrigated into the purity of our hearts, together we’ve burned away the darkness, our rays illuminated all the shadows of doubt, all had been casted away to the depths of the ocean floor.

Never again would we be torn apart, as we should be well aware that our fates belong to and exist for purposes of learning the knowledge obtained from miracles and riding them into a more peaceful union, brought by Our G-d, as only the Creator of All of Us could bring such love, riding On the Miracles; Just as the wisdom of G-d held onto the first beam of light to survive out of darkness, soon turned into the first flower to bloom. Irrigated through the systems we create on our paths, alongside one another we celebrate our festivals of light with one another, to recognize the miracles of each and every single day is such a gift and a blessing. The breath we breathe is magic in itself, and the heart that beats within our chests, is too, so clever, so impossible. Yet, the beat of this drum ancient, no modern technology needed for it to function at its greatest potential– As this is the same rhythm which brought our universe into existence, out of a blackhole of darkness. When, for the first time, out of a bang and in less than a millisecond did out whole creation take form. For, when G-d saw that,

There Could Be Light, There was Light. There is Light, Let There Be Light.

And thus, the impossible occured at the origins of our species as a whole. It is our duty to utilize this same spirit of freedom, that of which seems brightest during the most wonderful time of the year. Through the courage and purity in our hearts, old, new, and those yet-to-come, May we come together as one. Now and for the rest of the year, and all the years after that For, we know for certain we’ve burned away the deepest of darkness before. When our rays illuminated all the shadows of doubt, they were cast away long before we ever knew what reached at the deptyhs of the ocean floor. Although this mystery still remains to this day, we are more aware now, in understanding and in knowledge, of our universal landscape and all it encompasses, we were always meant to push away the darkness for all of us, so that the next generation may live to be free, and wander onto Mars during their lifespan: For, our battle to set footprints on the moon was once won, and fought for by those who came before us, those that made it possible and a reality, for us to be inspired by within our own age. It is necessary we give back more than we take, for what would there be to live for if we could not climb to be better, each and every day.

So too, will the candles of freedom burn away the darkness, that which lasted 8 days and 7 nights—once, “In the beginning,” when G-d created the universe in seven days. And again, when our perpetual torch of liberty needed to be kept alive in 160’s BCE, and forever. Even when our oil should have only lasted one night, G-d brought us Miracles, one after the other, in patterns over the ages.

When G-d brought His rebel-warriors the rays of light casted by the sun, the moonlight shot like an arrow down to Earth, and vice versa, unto the stars and planets lightyears away; This magic can be seen with the naked eye when viewing the crescent moon each month—as the Earthshine reflection can be seen as the outline of darkness filling out the rest of the circle of the moon, it is the reflection of Earth’s beams shining back at the moon, causing a shadow to form over the rest of the moon, or according to Leonardo DaVinci, Earthshine is what we see up on the tiny-looking crescent. Thus, it has always been that all across space-time, we are all, at some point, lost. However, it is up to us to be found.

Finally, we give thanks to the Almighty, our greatest strength; through all the strife that continues to bring us to the summit of timely achievements in life. After every climb is a rocky bottom. But even in our time spent at the depths of the ocean, we will find—An invaluable lesson to be learned, yet is hidden beneath the lava and coals at Earth’s Core. If we will it, however, it will be. If we will it, it is no dream. So, too, even during our time spent in darkness, whether it be for long or short, may Your human beings eventually find the tools required to rebuild your world anew, in every age. As each of our individual paths are necessary to fulfilling a purpose so much greater than all of us. We, the People: We, the Maccabees, are forever grateful for You, Adonai. G-d of the Universe: You are My Only Rock, My One Redeemer, Our Eternal Shield. 😘 תודה רבה השם 💙🤍🕎🤲

– With Infinite Love, KBM

Photograph: Above is an optical image from the Digitized Sky Survey shows Cygnus X-1, outlined in a red box. Cygnus X-1 is located near large active regions of star formation in the Milky Way, as seen in this image that spans some 700 light years across. An artist’s illustration on the right depicts what astronomers think is happening within the Cygnus X-1 system. Cygnus X-1 is a so-called stellar-mass black hole, a class of black holes that comes from the collapse of a massive star. New studies with data from Chandra and several other telescopes have determined the black hole’s spin, mass, and distance with unprecedented accuracy.

One should relax with an open mind and spirit, when reading the following scientific explanation of the universal point of origin, documented within the Torah and by Isaac Newton’s Laws of Gravity, Einstein’s Laws of Relativity, and Galilee’s proven theories on the ways in which light, magnetism, and electricity work together to light up our modern world, in the same way the ancient stars, moon, planets, and sun did for curious gazers like Galileo, who spent his time on Earth fighting for justice within a monarchical dictatorship, invented his own telescope to get a better gaze at the starry skies at night, and looked into the fiery sun head on, without ever going blind. On the contrary, one could say Galileo had the equivalent talent Leonardo DaVinci had in art and painting the future as a way to enhance their experiences in our ongoing creation story… One could in fact state with certainty that Galilees vision was only further magnified by his “unconventional” activities. Whether it be sun gazing the days away by the ocean to come up with the first scientific explanation of our Moons magnetic pull and the impact it has always had on the tides, low and high depending on which angle of our Earth you are standing upon. 

The excerpt below incorporates a brief analysis over the scientifically explained truths over spiritual doctrine and physics being the first and most solid form of science which proves our “living scrolls,” of ancient still remain to this day— Filled with fact hidden beneath symbolic arts in wording, language, vowels, mathematics, geometry, numbers, historical documentation and in doing so, one could argue that Judaism at its most fundamental way of thinking and believing in G-d, is very much the most pure form of reality—as it is all backed by facts in scientific revolutionary periods by mainly religious men who brought this way of thinking to our world— and lived to make our modern world a better place than their own- as we must force ourselves to think purely independently, all biases and religion aside — when deciphering that which has been proven time and time again by the greats— the brave men and women who made our universal magic tangible— using the scientific wisdom of G-d and the world Around them to break grounds throughout the ages. We look back today to understand and efficiently move forward tomorrow.

Sharing this writing today, on behalf of our worldwide, (voluntary), mass enlightenment shortage crisis, we are experiencing in our current times. I rarely write about anything non-political, but when I do, I explore our universal truths in a different light, from a scientific perspective that is turned into a multi-dimensional analysis based on the same scientific method all true “Poly Sci-ers” use to develop an argument or theory and prove it by arguing the most logical explanation needed to withstand the times in which we live and will withstand decades after. Just as in a foreign or domestic policy implementation debate or work assignment I have— I use the natural laws in humankind combined with the formulas of physics and common. Sense — to prove each element of the scientific debate, with G-ds awesome world and the deep symbolism in Torah scripture and in meanings of holidays and seasons, we can all relate to this curiosity.

Simply put: From the perspective eyes of The World as We Once Could See it; We find the most real Magic there ever was:

The Magic of what— Is. Enjoy.

E Equals M Plus C, Squared

BY KAREN BEN-MOYAL


c. Karen Ben-Moyal. December 2020.

Science has shown that there’s only one “substance-less substance” that can change into matter. And that’s energy. Einstein’s famous equation, E=MC2, tells us that energy can change into matter. And once it changes into matter, time grabs hold. Before Einstein, the Laws of Relativity were undefined in both the understanding of theory and physics. Although Philosophers and scientists of all ages had been theorizing and contemplating for centuries, similar ideas since the beginning of time, dating as far in human history can go, thanks to good ole Al, we know these laws of nature both scientifically & philosophically (spiritually), now; However, most thinkers today, still cannot think for themselves as most cannot debate nor connect the latter to the former, and vice versa—leaving the latter object up to subjective interpretation in a variety of field, in our modern world. A tip for others out there whom are too fascinated by the designs of time-space from the philosophical, natural, scientific if we could truly ever begin to understand the knowledge of natural law and understand G-d’s will simultaneously, one would require the unconditional, uniquely creative skill set, and a mind so open that the freedom to think, observe, question, and speak—anything other than an original thought—- must be eliminated from ones mind, and for the most part, could not have learned anything at all unless the basis of faith as an explanation for unexplained reasons and causes in nature, must have been implemented by G-d Almighty through the individual soul to accept and seek— the wisdom that only the tree of knowledge in the most fundamental sense— could make possible the unveiling of the improbable, in ones own mind, through the soul that most likely was born with the purpose of finding these reasons at the start of their lifespan. For, in the beginning of all creation, G-d said let there be light. And there was light. Or, in the words of the infinite universe, In the beginning, space-time reacted to the following equation, which produced the existence of life, at its own foundation:

E=MC^2

Furthermore, We know that (E) = energy ― or the light beams, radio waves, gamma rays, x-rays ― all travel at the speed of light, (C), 300 million meters per second. At the speed of light, time does not pass. The universe was aging, but time only grabs hold when matter is present. This moment of time before the clock begins for the Old Testament, or our universal Bible, lasted about 1/100,000 of a second. A miniscule time. But in that time, the universe expanded from a tiny speck, to about the size of the Solar System. From that moment on we have matter, and time flows forward. The Biblical clock begins here, at E equals M, C, squared.

Side Thoughts from KBM/The Author:

– Isn’t it but strange to realize how both rhythm and sound were born out of the extraordinary circumstances birthed during the phenomena resulted by way of creation. Just as the reflections illuminating the rays of light are complemented by the shadows of darkness on land, water is rooted from the same seed, in the beginning there was light which was used to bring all the elements of the universe into existence. These same forces of nature birthed the light that survived out of nothingness to cause that which brought the seas into existence. The One Creator of all of us, creatures and mankind— motioned and brought forth the creation of the 7 seas on Earth and H20 in general, via the wave lengths serving as vessels for energy to travel at the same time and distance as light—For the destined patterns we see in opposing forces are the keys which vibrate and attract energy to and from objects in nature.

-Nature is filled with hidden patterns and parallel wavelengths refracting and reflecting off the moon beams which give light to the stars at night and and the motion that pulls the tides of our oceans to and fro, high and low. Thus, the meanings of life are the very same sparks which first created all nature and Her inhabitants to date. Before the wind collided with the very first foundational elements aka the beams of fire which brought and continue to bring about the life of the inhabitants of our planets’ oceans. These first moonbeams of light were and still are the same electrical magnetic waves of energy used to bring in the tides of the Earth—millions of years since the creation of the universe began— this electricity lives on in our lives—and are still the fundamental tools used to measure weather today in meteorology and are now explained by science in forms of chemical equations, geometry, and nuclear physics.

-Therefore, we now have solid scientific evidence which proves what every human being that’s ever lived has known at their core—that God made both man and beast on the same day, the 6th day of creation is to the realization that light and water were created on the same day. The moon and stars may only fulfill their functions if the laws of attraction in nature continue in motion at the same rate throughout the rest of time. Alas the Intertwining of my two favorite elements at once: Light & Water were made for you and me. And all the creatures and organisms in between, all were created along side each other to reflect the rhythms of sound and song by way of the rays of the moon and sun meeting halfway. At sea level one reaches the silence consuming the ocean floor. The beams of the moon move the tide at this level, this same light is used by the sun rays which are used for many reasons too, and the stars illuminating the darkness on both land and water give the ocean brightness even in the middle of nothingness, the shadows of the moon and stars light the seas in similar manner. The lightning and thunder that falls with the rain signify the beat marching to life’s drum by way of clashing in communication with one another. The thunder is the sound announcing the introduction of the lightning not far away, as it grows closer the winds blow the waters alongside the storms which parallel the laws Nature cleverly abides by, and has done so since birth of all life. A specific reason is given to each and every detail in creation, but why is it that the laws of attraction, or the forces which cause opposites to attract also signify day and night to the inhabitants of all the lands on Earth? The differences lie within the secrets in between the light and the dark. The time when twilight transitions night to day and day to night. The location of this phenomena is where the answer is found. The key is to examine the movements on land by comparing them to the waters and rivers and streams of all kinds. when Darkness settles during the day when a rain storm is forming above. The sounds of the thunder are much more intense above water than they are below. But why does lightning strike so violently Light & Water = pure cosmic serenity. Out of rays of light, the beat of a certain rhythm is combined to form shadows which illuminate the darkness, by enhancing the twilight in between waves of energy such as waves of electricity as well as waves turned by the tides. Serene vibrations reflect the rays of light beaming down to shadow the beauty of creation and the significance of the origins of all 92 universal elements beat to a drum one can only sense while immersed in the first two elements to come into existence. Enlightenment galore and all at once the rays of light and waves of the ocean collide into the rhythm of your soul to beat to the drum of my own heaven on Earth. Looking at moon tonight. Half crescent and sky bright with G-ds creation, stars with Forests blooming like a couple of hundred giant, magic beanstalks, stretching over the rainbow horizon —- from the dirt of the earth to the highest point of light at the speed of light through the gravity holding up The spinning global atmosphere — floating waves in the sky —- float on above and so below— endlessly wild and charming by day, invisible by night—- our solar system guarded by clouds of swords and shields of freedoms wind —- all above the horizon —- turning at an opposite angle and direction of the world we are all used to trying to be a part of.. the life we should be grateful to share … as I observe the world above my lil ole self, I look to the moon and and think of G-d, my ancestors, the animal Kingdom , admiring the trees colliding with the Andromeda….:. Long story short – Tonight after a day of utter despair — I saw a brain in the moon. The crescent half full on one side … right looking up and left from the moon itself… the other side of the empty circle filled with invisible star dust and ether .. the dark side of my heart almost… and for a moment I saw the human head or the left and right ventricle of the skull and flesh of a brain… I wonder if the moon led us to biological advancements in brain research or if our generation has forgotten why we mean to exist and think at all. I love you G-d. Thank you. amen. – Karen Ben-Moyal, thoughts in between the Dawn, Circa.[2016-2021].
