You Are the Elect of God

Selections from In the Beginning, Chayei/Sarah Lives, Genesis 23-25
In this scripture the goddess of wisdom and artistry
Appears as Sarah, Prophetess and partner

Of the patriarch Avraham, mother of Isaac
And godmother of Ishmael who is born on her lap

Sarah lives 127 years and dies in Hebron. While mourning

Avraham speaks to the descendents of Het
127, 1+2+7=10, as in ten infinite depths, as in ten words
As in ten power symbols on two tables of stone

Five opposite five

You are the elect of God, say they
Who gives himself or herself utterly to God
Becomes the elect of God

Bury your dead in the choicest of sites

In the cave of Makpelah
In the field of Ephron facing Mamre

The cave of Makpelah is the double cave
The cave inside the cave
Entrance to Eden, says the Zohar, the Book of Splendor

Avraham gives Ephron 400 silvers
Sarah is buried in the cave of the field of Makpelah
“Field” usually indicates a state of refined consciousness

Four hundred silvers is code, O’ ye reapers of the field
Silver indicates the infinite depth of the north
From whence flows the dharma, the Torah, the eternal wisdom

400 is the power symbol Tahv on the tree of life

Pathway 'tween the kingdom of God and the foundation stone
Which, O’ Nobly Born, is your illumination

Avraham takes anther wife Ketorah
(Spice)
Who bears Avraham (more) descendents
Hagar (the stranger) matures into Ketorah

Who weds her beloved

He wills all he owns to Yitzak and while alive gives gifts
To his other children by directing them
(us)

To the land of the East

Isaac (Yitzak) receives the mantle of leadership
We are each evolving to become Isaac:

Laughter, joy, bliss personified. But how?

By going to the land of the East, dawn
Entrance to a sacred temple of light, wisdom and love
Avraham's gift to us: Rise at dawn, worship and meditate

Enter the shrine

The life span of Avraham is 175 when he breathes his last
Dying at a good ripe age, old and contented

1+7+5=13 1+3=4. On the tree of life, the power symbol Dalet
A pathway between revelation and deep understanding

His childen Yitzak (Isaac) and Ishmael bury him
In the cave of Makpelah
Where to this day our matriarchs and patriarchs lie sleeping

After Avraham’s death
Eloheem blesses Yitzak
The Goddess blesses Isaac

Mantra: You are the elect of God
