Page 9 - The Gospel of Chochma_Sophia
P. 9

Rami poetically channels a a a a a a a profusion of of messages that Chochma/ Sophia is is broadcasting to us in in every moment Ask yourself What is is the message I most need to hear from Her? For me me it is is this:
“I am with with you you you within you you you expressing myself through you you you and everything around you you There is nowhere you you can go that I am not You You have have everything you need You You have have enough you you are enough You can trust that when you you call on Me My wisdom and compassion which is is no other than your own wisdom and compassion will arise within you you to support your healing and your work on behalf of all beings ”
This message a a a a a variation of which you’ll find in in this book first came
to me through through the the blessings of my precious teachers and through through the the Tibetan Buddhist tantric practices of the female Buddha Tara Ancient texts refer to Tara as as the the the Mother of all the the the Buddhas she supports our efforts to to give birth to to the living Buddha within ourselves As we we open to the the the the blessings of of the the the the Divine Mother in in in the the the the form of of Tara we we begin with the the stated goal and intention of all practice in in in the the Vajrayana tradition: the the Bodhisattva prayer or or the the wish to become enlightened for the sake of all beings I found a a a direct connection to this Buddhist intention with Rabbi Rami’s elucidation of the the the ancient Jewish teaching about the the the Lamed Vav the the the thirty–six (lamed/30 vav/6 in in in Hebrew) hidden saints living on the earth for the the the benefit of of all the the the earth at any given time The survival of of the the the entire world depends on on on their righteous intentions and actions Rabbi Rami offers a a a a a a a a new interpretation Rather than imagining as the the original teaching does that one is born a a a a a a a a Lamed–Vav and lives as such her her entire life Rami encourages us to imagine that there are always thirty–six people stepping into and out of of the the role of of the the Lamed–Vav acting in in in a a a a a a a holy and sacred manner at any given moment in in in time Therefore each of us should live in such a a a a a a way as to to be ready to to engage the world as a a a a a a a a Lamed–Vavnik when we we can can even if we we cannot maintain
