10. Divine Wisdom

Hello,

Welcome to Guided Jewish Meditations.

My name is Eliezer.

Thank you for joining me today for today's meditation which will be about Divine Wisdom.

The concept of mortals being able to grasp Divine Wisdom emanating from a Divine Mind is something that defies all logic.

If you would build a city using Lego blocks,

Populate the city with Lego people,

And somehow animate the people of this city with life,

You couldn't possibly expect the people in this city to understand your mind or the wisdom it took to build the city.

And yet through the Torah,

The Infinite Creator has shared with us a glimpse into the Infinite Mind that created all.

This wisdom not only created all that exists,

It also keeps everything that exists from reverting back to absolute nothingness at every single moment.

During today's meditation,

We will try to understand this wisdom from two perspectives.

One,

As the Divine energy that causes everything to continuously exist.

And two,

As the stream of information that allows our mind to connect to the source of all wisdom,

The Divine Mind.

As we begin this meditation,

Try and find a quiet,

Comfortable place where you can sit or lay down and remain undisturbed for about half an hour.

As this meditation is about mind,

It is important that you can fully relax your body,

Feel comfortable and safe,

And allow your entire being to focus on your mind.

Settle in and gently close your eyes.

Taking a deep breath through your nose,

Allow the air entering your body to completely fill your lungs.

After holding the air for a moment,

Exhale completely through your mouth.

As you continue breathing this way,

Focus on the air entering your body.

Picture the oxygen giving life to every cell throughout your existence,

Filling you with Divine Light.

And as you exhale,

Allow your body to sink into the material beneath you and consciously expel all negative feelings you may be feeling at this time.

If you are experiencing stress,

Anxiety,

Disappointments or unmet expectations,

Try and give yourself the gift of letting go of this negative energy by replacing them with the Divine Light contained in the air you breathe in.

Continue with this breathing exercise until your entire body is completely relaxed and your mind is the focal point of your existence.

Picture your heart at the core of your chest.

Feel it beat slowly and steadily,

Pumping life giving blood throughout your body.

Your body contains on average 37.

2 trillion cells.

Meditate on this number.

It is a number so vastly large,

If you would line up every cell in your body,

You could reach the moon and back twice.

Every one of these trillions of cells keeps you alive at every moment.

In your mind's eye,

Pick a cell inside your heart.

At the nucleus of this cell lies its DNA packaged into 46 chromosomes super coiled into a configuration that allows a string of information containing 3 billion base pairs to take up a space merely 6 microns across but which would be about 2 meters long if completely uncoiled.

If you would uncoil every cell in your body this way,

The string would be about twice the diameter of the solar system.

Allow this reality to enter your mind.

Your body is a vastly complex machine,

Fine tuned to a level so intricately perfect it completely overwhelms the mind.

And yet the wisdom that created this machine is a mere fleeting shadow of the divine wisdom that created all and that causes everything to continue to exist.

Meditate on this cell in your heart.

Picture its DNA causing it to function properly containing with it all the information it needs to function,

Replicate,

Contain all of your genetic makeup and keep you alive.

Now,

Allow your mind's eye to zoom in on one of the 3 billion base pairs contained within the nucleus of this cell.

Each of these base pairs is made up of four different types of molecules held together by hydrogen bonds.

The size of one of these base pairs is about 3.

4 angstroms or 1 ten-billionth of a meter and the genetic accuracy of each of these billions of base pairs are of critical importance to your life and well-being.

Now,

Allow your mind to focus on one of these four molecules,

Adenine.

It is a molecule made of carbon,

Nitrogen and hydrogen atoms and performs a multitude of biochemical functions that keep you alive.

The lightest of these atoms,

Hydrogen,

Is also the lightest and most abundant element in the universe.

The radius of the single proton at the core of this hydrogen atom is about 0.

84 femtometers or one quadrillionth of a meter.

This subatomic particle is in turn made of quarks and other quantum particles which are much,

Much smaller.

And what are quarks made of?

Science does not know.

It is at this point that the physical becomes the metaphysical,

Where all of matter reveals its true nature,

That the source of all of existence is information or wisdom.

Breathe in deeply.

Allow your mind to cover the length of your body from the top of your head to the tip of your toes and all the incredible wonder contained within you and meditate on the reality that all of you,

All of existence,

Is at its core made of divine wisdom.

It is the constant flow of infinite divine wisdom that causes everything within the observable universe to exist.

From the very beginning of physics in the form of subatomic particles to the greatest clusters of galaxies.

Everything exists because everything is connected to and caused to exist by a common source.

As your meditation on this truth intensifies,

You realize that this stream of wisdom constitutes the flow of light and life that connects the physical with the divine.

Focus completely on your mind,

The seat of your own logic and wisdom.

Let go more and more of yourself,

Making way for this wisdom,

This eternal light,

Nullifying yourself completely as your body and ego recede into the background and your mind becomes more and more connected and one with this infinite light.

This light is wisdom.

It is spiritual wisdom,

Eternal information,

The mind of the infinite reaching yours.

Meditate on your mind,

Meeting the mind of the source of all of existence.

Contemplate that you are not only capable of recognizing this stream of light and wisdom,

But you are also able to connect your mind with this infinite mind as well by studying the Torah,

Infinite wisdom from an infinite mind.

It can only be acquired with toil,

With love,

With a sense of awe and with deep humility.

But once it is acquired,

It merges itself with your soul and mind,

With your seat of reason and logic and free will.

It becomes a part of you.

Meditate on this reality.

Allow your mind to become one with the eternal mind.

Recognize this connection,

Hold onto it in your mind and allow the light from beyond to reach you,

Envelop you and become one with you.

You are the light of the world.

You are the light of the world.

You are the light of the world.

This connection is the conduit of divine energy and wisdom.

Your mind is the channel of the divine.

Your mind is merged with that of the infinite source.

This is the ultimate davicus or cleaving with the source of all.

To allow your mind deep within your soul to reach out and connect with the infinite wisdom that permeates all.

Your mind is to study the words of the Torah and their deeper meanings.

The letters,

Crowns,

Punctuations and cantillations that is the very makeup of the ancient word and wisdom of the infinite source.

Because hidden deep within these words lies the divine mind.

The unifying wisdom that combines all and is all.

Devote your life to studying,

Living,

Experiencing and becoming one with these words and with this wisdom.

Because within it lies the connection to the infinite source.

You are the light of the world.

You are the light of the world.

You are the light of the world.

You are the light of the world.

You are the light of the world.

You are the light of the world.

We have arrived at the conclusion of this meditation.

Gently bring your mind back to the present,

To your body and to the physical world it occupies.

Do so slowly.

Breathe in deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth until you feel you have returned to the present.

Thank you for joining me today.

Contemplating the divine wisdom that is the source of all of existence allows us not only to better understand the true unity connecting the universe,

It also allows us to connect our mind with the infinite mind that created all and that continues to cause all to exist.

My name is Eliezer.

May peace be with you.

May peace be with you.

May peace be with you.

May peace be with you.
