The yesod of the Avoda of Re’eh,
“seeing” according to the Arizal

Based on the Netivot Shalom zt:l

רְאֵ֗ה אָנֹכִ֛י נֹתֵ֥ן לִפְנֵיכֶ֖ם הַיּ֑וֹם בְּרָכָ֖ה וּקְלָלָֽה׃
See, this day I set before you blessing and curse:
אֶֽת־הַבְּרָכָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּשְׁמְע֗וּ אֶל־מִצְוֺת֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָנֹכִ֛י מְצַוֶּ֥ה אֶתְכֶ֖ם הַיּֽוֹם׃
blessing, if you obey the commandments of your God יהוה that I enjoin upon you this day;
וְהַקְּלָלָ֗ה אִם־לֹ֤א תִשְׁמְעוּ֙ אֶל־מִצְוֺת֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם וְסַרְתֶּ֣ם מִן־הַדֶּ֔רֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָנֹכִ֛י מְצַוֶּ֥ה אֶתְכֶ֖ם הַיּ֑וֹם לָלֶ֗כֶת אַחֲרֵ֛י אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־יְדַעְתֶּֽם׃ {ס}        

We always read parashat Re’eh on the Shabbat preceeding Rosh Chodesh Elul..
In only 1 month we will be standing in Rosh Hasheana. The bracha is to hear with our hearts KOL DODI DOFEK
The voice of my beloved knocks. According to how much we prepare for Rosh hashana, can we be zoche to accessing the shoresh, source, of its bracha.

Parashat Reeh follows the parsha of hearing, Eikev. When SEEING  is combined with HEARING , WE COME TO REIYAH ELYONA, a higher seeing. We can see with theeyes of our heart. This shabbat, Shabbat Mevorchim Elul may we reach this level of seeing the source of our goodness with all our hearts.

The yesod of the Avoda of Re’eh, “seeing” according to the Arizal:
There hasn’t been a person created like another person since the creation of the world. And no one can accomplish an other persons tikkun. Which means that each person has her own special mission devar meyuchad, for which each person is sent down from the higher world to this world.
And that’s what the posuk refers to saying : Re’eh. רְאֵ֗ה אָנֹכִ֛י נֹתֵ֥ן לִפְנֵיכֶ֖ם הַיּ֑וֹם בְּרָכָ֖ה וּקְלָלָֽה׃  I

Its not discussing the keeping of the mitzvos in relation to reward and punishment. Instead  this is referring to each person’s special mission int his world, shlichut meyucheded and the role, tafikd of the person in his world. The greatest bracha is when a  Jew is able to accomplish her highest mission in this world, her sheichut haElyona. And she metakens (fixes) the matters in which she came down to this world.

And the klala, curse, chas vshalom is if she didn’t metakein her special shelichut, meaning, when she does not accomplish her reason for coming down into the world and instead spends her years (ad 120) laboring and struggling and didn’t accomplish her shelchut / mission that was assigned for her.
HKBH is tov u maitiv, good and does only good, and He created the world in order to to grant us goodness and so we can nurture from His creation. He provides each of us with the  special conditions which bring us to fulfill our purpose in the world

And that’s why it says LOOK REEH I am giving you the bracha which you will listen.  Meaning that everything I give you, all the conditions that HKB”H provides to the person… all our struggles, triggers, tikkunim… its  ALL provided for our  shelichut  that each of us to facilitate so we can accomplish our particular mission that we came down to the world for.

A person doesn’t know what her special shelichut is.  But it say, “Re’eh anochi notain lefneichem hayom. רְאֵ֗ה אָנֹכִ֛י נֹתֵ֥ן לִפְנֵיכֶ֖ם הַיּ֑וֹם

May I SEE & contemplate, re’eh v hitbonen  all of the conditions that are surrounding me...
May I see that everything that hashem is giving me is for the aim asher tishmu אֶֽת־הַבְּרָכָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּשְׁמְע֗וּ is so you will listen.  

This is the why it says ASHER tishma’u.  THAT you will be able to keep,  in the language THAT אֲשֶׁ֣ר  not IF , as it says about the klala:  וְהַקְּלָלָ֗ה אִם־לֹ֤א תִשְׁמְעוּ֙,  The klala is when some works hard without fulfilling her personal mission. Hashem gives us all the conditions, which means our personal challenges and our national challenges, as in the war in Eretz Yisrael, right now, ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE BRACHA, only for the sake of the bracha. That each of us individually and collectively as Am Yisrael, WILL FULLFILL OUR SHELICHUT ELYONA AND OUR TAFID in the world. Our goal is ASHER tishmau, we ARE seeing deeply right now. The bracha is unconditional. It is already given to us through our life situations, so we may learn  about our shelichut. All we need to do is be AWARE AND CONSCIOUS of the lessons of each of the challenges we face, when we feel constricted or in the dark or triggered. He is constantly giving us His brachot, if only we SEE it in the moment.

Do you have a pattern of repeated situations of types of people in your life?
THEY are a clue to your personal mission.
Think about this deeply.

Hashem is renewing the Briah, creation of the world every moment of every day
As we say in our Shabbat davening Mechadesh bchol yom tamid maase bereeishit.
EVERY DAY has its particular tafkid. Each condition that happens in a particular day is a shaar, gateway to fulfill the shelichut meyuchded, particular mission of that day.

MEDITATION

Make yourself comfortable
breath in / neshima / through our our nostrils to higher consciousness
Bring the light in through your breath and bring it down to your heart.
Imagine removing the klipah from the HEARING CENTER of your heart
Open the gate to your hear

Breath
Slowly and deeply
While opening yourself to hear the Kol dodi dofek,
the Kol, the voice of the shechina, calling you back
To your true purpose in life, your shelichus elyona
If any distracting thoughts enter your mind
Pop them like a bubble
Noting can divert you from attaining your personal mission
They can take any form
Like youtube, Instagram, physical desires, negative emotions, anything that comes up for you

Envision popping all these diversions like a child popping bubbles
You are the child
Pop pop pop

Imagine that before you,
you see 2 gates, shaarim.
This is the moment in your life when you need to choose which gate you will enter. Listen, open yourself to hear the kolot, sound of the shofar calling you to the pathe of
Chius, ahava, bracha
Imagine a time when you felt most loved…

Now open the gate to your heart
Visualize yourself standing before the completely cleared path of your shelichut elyona, your personal mission
imagine removing the klipah of the VISION CENTER in your heart
You now perceive with incredible bracha with Yishuv Hadaat. You are in full light and consciousness.
I re-enter my day with a new consciousness
I am prepared consciously through the mitzvot of preparations for Shabbat kodesh
my head is not in the clouds, as I am staying grounded through the process.
I cook and prepare,for Shabbat,
I bake challah I set the table beautifully and early
I am preparing consciously, as I adjust my consciousness.
Transitioning with the mitzvot
Harein mekavin laasot et atzmi …
the dichotomy of Rochel and Leah are coming closer and merging
the Yichud of Rochel and Leah Consciousnesses getting closer as shabbat comes closer
I no longer need to disconnect part of my thoughts and consciousness to access the spiritual and the physical at once.
I am bringing my mochin dgadlut into Rachel
Rochel HaGadola
I hold her sparks as I rise into Shabbat
elevating my emotions (zeer anpin) to meet the One
I greet this new role with malchut and Bina
Wearing my crown while steeped in shiflut, humility
simultaniously

May Hashem give me Chein, through this pnimius Torah
of my support system, my soul sisters who are doing this work together,
Raising the frequency toward geula
as Nechama Sarah said, Our pnimius work is a fortress
When we are looked upon of being too spiritual, or reaching too high for the light
or our head is in the cloud
We run and return with
mesiras nefesh the dedication of our souls
to not hide any more
but to go out there
Embracing those who are of a different soul family
Who think differently
wearing our crowns of ratzon, oneg and emunah
Expanding love and light
In touch with our heart center.

When you are ready, open your eyes and now you can SEE with this light of awareness …
your higher mission withing all the conditions and circumstances.
