Piyut Yitro 5772
In this journey awaken
Let the dawn appear
Watchful for what you're making
For Sinai is near.
And in this place
Each veil remove
With wonder full
A golden rule.
Rising past the images of reflection
Returning to the one thought of perfection.
Over and over in that sacred moment know
The one voice speaking through all to show
Returning to the center of it all
Finding the way back after the fall.
Visions resolve themselves along the way
Layers of reality interpose night and day.
And of course there always is the light
That comes into being within thy sight.
A course is set there in front of us recognizing the unity of Creation. This unity is throughout both body and spirit synthesizing the two bringing forth the divine purpose into manifest being.
To recognize my name as one
As the earth connects to sun
Let our thoughts remain on high
Pondering questions reasons why.
Here I am one remember well
And to your children will you tell
That there is no other never
I am that one within forever
My mercy spans generations of time
So await Moshe in his holy climb
And keep my Sabbath's sublime
As the Levites play their harp and chime
Before the ten utterances or commandments are given in stone or written down Moshe tells them to the people who tremble at their power. It is the flash of inspiration that cuts asunder the evil inclination leaving Consciousness bare before the pure truth above. The lesson for us here is that when we are given an inspiration that rocks us to the core we have to act upon (writing it down or inscribing it in our hearts) so that we will remember and receive the benefit of that holy calling.
The light that comes in from above
Filled with truth power and love
There to breath in like the miracle of air
To become filled with holiness everywhere.
Listen in this time of renewal as spring shapes itself upon our waiting world and remember Sinai not as something that occurred to our ancestors but as signal event that is ongoing awakening even now the spirit that is one in complete perfection. May it always be so. B"H.
