The Cross and the Cabala

Cross in Hebrew translates as: cut off from God. This coincidence of languages is actually not far from the truth; the cross, a symbol of torture used by Rome to inflict the maximum amount of pain prior to death, is also the symbol of the planet Mars—patron god to Rome. The cross derives its structure from the previous world known as Tohu/Chaos which was destroyed by God and later renamed the Mountain of Hatred—Har Sinai.

In the world of Tohu/Chaos the head is represented as a triangle: the first three of the Ten Sepherot: Chochma represented by the right lobe of the brain related to the two eyes, Bina represented by the left lobe of the brain related to the two ears; the third part of the triangle Daat corresponds to the cerebellum at the back of the head opposite the forehead and is related by the two nostrils.

Along with the mouth these seven apertures gave birth to the seven characteristics of the body: the two arms and the body; the two legs and the sex and the lips. In the world of Tohu these seven elemental lights lined up one behind the other giving essential life the form of the cross. The Cabala maintains that 288 sparks of cross-like forms fell into this world initiating physical life; likened to the sperm and the egg Mars represents the physical aggressiveness of man.

The empire of Rome relies upon the energy of Mars—the cross is their antenna. Josephus, the Jewish-Roman historian who witnessed the destruction of Temple forty years after the death of Jesus, writes at length about the horrific punishment of crucifixion dealt out by the regime, but never mentions a word about Jesus and the cross. Pliny, the Roman historian who witnessed the destruction of Mt. Vesuvius two years after the destruction of the Temple also writes nothing of the incident with Pilate and his court. Philo in Egypt is equally silent.

The fact that not one shred of credible evidence has been unearthed over these two thousand years is a disturbing fact particularly for the Jewish People whose population over this time has been decimated directly attributable to the cross and its story. The cross, the symbol of torture at the insistence of the Rabbis is inconsistent with historical fact plus is completely incongruent the ways of the Jewish People as dictated by the Torah.

Although capital punishment does exist in the Torah, the courts rarely invoke such a punishment causing the Talmud to say, if the courts put to death more than one person in seventy years the Rabbis were considered to be murderers. When the death penalty was used the law which governed the procedure demanded that the sentence be carried out painlessly. For example if a person were to be stoned, first he would be drugged, thrown off a high tower which would cause his death and then stones would be cast upon the dead body as punishment.

The cross is a lie at every level; it is the most inhumane action amid humanity—the cross envelopes everything which is wrong with this world. The primordial cross is the reason why animal line up one behind the other to mate; the human being mates face to face. In the Talmud-Book of Law while describing what part of the body that comes from seed of man and which comes from the seed of woman declares the face comes from God.

Where the previous world was called Tohu/Chaos our world is termed Tikun/Fixing; it is the fixing of the cross which will free us from its influence. As weapons get beaten into plowshares, according to the ancient prophesy, so too will the cross, the sign of death, be obliterated by the light.
