The power of Torah study

And what does the Torah mean to us?

Another thing about Torah is that studying enhances your knowledge 7fold, and end up seeing thorough all the inconsistencies of Torah, and all books and sayings of the wise, each one had their own perspective and is highly valuable because it helps expand or enhance or deepen the knowledge of things as we know them, multiple layers and perspectives helps piece together the grand orchestra of study. Because study is so vast and so endless there is no end on sight, so at some point we just burn out, and end up sharing all we know because we can't absorb anymore now it has to be released, is actually liberating.
And yes everything you tall about all the commandments and decrees even though many things have changed with science and medical advances, it no longer applies to modern day as much as it did back in the days long before medical science, the discovery of the first antibiotics penicillin, and even Gutenberg press in 1450z which is something I studied before but forgot, and many other things I used to work in a printing company called mitera they have a Gutenberg print press is as big as an airplane, it makes copies of 36 by 24 inches of a rate of 7000 copies per hour so is pretty fast many people have lost their fingers and hand in those machines, in the rollers, but new things have been discovered today
But I dare not contradict Torah in its raw original print, for sake of keeping tradition and the memory alive of all our jewish ancestors is a good thing to preserve the Torah as it is, regardless of the times and generations, Torah must never get forgotten and lost in history just for the sake of keeping the book intact and in its original form, text, hebrew, is actually a huge sacrifice I'm part of us, but is necessary that we sacrifice it as much as we can this is why God gave the Torah at Mount Sinai to Moses because they all merited due to Abraham's willingness and selflessness to give up his most beloved son to God it was the greatest test ever for even a greater blessing and greater things to come culminating the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai
All because of Abraham's sake and merit, we merited Torah
Ever since day one we have been ransacked, genocided, assassinated, indiscriminate, persecuted, hated in every form and shape possible, throughout all generations, and culminating the greatest persecution ever in human history the holocaust, with even greater weapons, greater skills, technologies, and yet we remained loyal to Torah knowledge, how insane can we be ?
Why are such a stiff-necked people ?
So arrogant with our Torah?
In spite of all humiliating suffering from the world. Why do we remain faithful learning Torah and all other things related to it?
This why when God told Moses that we were a stiff-necked people, after forming the golden caw, Moses begged him to forgive them, because they being a stiff-necked people with Torah study, learning and mitzvahs they will be a stiff-necked Torah people, and ever since then we've been no matter what Torah scholars . Comes hell or high water, Rabbi Menachem Mendel was fundamental in reestablishing the chabad lubavitcher 770 in New York when after the 2cond war when hope for recreation of jewish community was hanging ar the brink perdition.
We almost gave up
We are always reminded of the reality of things and is a poisonous streak against our morale and enthusiasm, this world is just too much to handle. And this is why I prayed for you because I understand your pain as well I feel that the closer I get to Torah the forces of darkness are always going against me
I h3v3 no choice but to keep rolling and you being a victim of antisemitism I want nothing but the best for you. My pain is your pain and your pain is my pain .but at the same time I'm always tired of this world rage and hatred against me and all jews .I know is entirely the power of darkness that wants to kill our light .
I'm just tired of humanity hatred against me . For no reason at all but my desire to find God and keeping Torah as my foundation of my faith.

Wow I never thought about that, that God is studying along side me, is true, every time I study I feel like a channel just opens up a window of wisdom and suddenly I see revealed secrets and puzzles, is like an influx of endless energy of a kind of knowing, like something hidden gets revealed, suddenly God spoke to me and told me so many secrets in final conclusion God is wisdom, with wisdom God created all there is that exists, chocmar and keter are just the root of all existence.
God in his ultimate essence is a powerful consciousness and awareness, God's mind has no concept, no body, no physical attribute, is just alive eternally, in its own manifestation, no one can bottle up God, that is considered idolatry, because God is not bound or limited by the natural forces of creation nothing can limit it, so God is just pure consciousness that decided to become a manifestation in order for us to make sense of His existence,
God can't create another equal force to that of Himself, hence the old consistent sayings of all sages that God is one just like the shema Israel, , just like we can't create another human being equal spiritual like ourselves, we can only have and impregnate on what is already pre-created biological system, we can create algorithms, artificial intelligence, robots and computers but never will we be able to create a neshama like God himself, so same is true with God himself, God can't create an equal force as God himself. Because then He wouldn't be God anymore .
That's why we have so much free will because God is not intimidated or threatened by what we do, we are not a threat no matter what we do to God's kingship, God will always be a king whether we accept him or reject him.
Always a king because we can't exist without Him first imposing His will for us to exist,
Truthfully made in God's image it only means our ability to freely choose God or reject him, it will never make a difference the choices we make, God has an eternity to wait for you, we are just to greedy to even fathom God's eternal sovereignty, our created beings mindset doesn't allow to see the truth for what it is, God indeed enjoys his creation, and specially when so many of us freely willingly, without preconceived notions and agendas seek Him, , i have also discovered why is so hard to grasp or enter God's presence, because He is infinite, and we are in an finite body or physical state, so in order to make contact or make a connection with with God's infinitum is actually a very dangerous challenge, it could kill your physicality, that's why so many Rabbis have met their end and even the sons of Aaron when they entered the holy of holies, we are meant to be existing as finite beings while alive in a physical manner, is not safe to dabble with endless infinite energies, or channels of energies of the Godly realm, , no man have ever reached that state, we can only behold a glimpse of the Godly realm, and once we do we become like a dope fiend addicted to spiritual energies like we si often attempt to get, seeking holiness at all times, but really is a waste of time, the whole point of Torah study is to convert the chimpanzee mentality into a Godly state, in essence we not so different to that of the rest of the animals, we have to defecate like a chimp does, eat like chimp does, reproduce like a chimp does, have lungs, teeth, five fingers, eyes, kidneys, bladders, intestines, throat, tongue, make our own speech. Like a chimp does, if we were made in God's image then God is also another chimpanzee looking mammal, if that's what God created a copy of himself then why didn't He make our bodies a lot more sophisticated, no prone to disease, tireness, injury, death, nothing similar to all the biological design of all mammals on earth, why live and reproduce and die like the rest of all animals because we are nit exactly God's image, and no we are not equal to God at all.
All the wisest sages and prophets consistently declare that God is not a human that he should change his mind like man does, God is not a man at all not even close, but we have a consciousness that truly is the image of God. The power of awareness, of consciousness, ability to self recognition, beyond the scope of all the rest of all creatures on earth, but nevertheless remaining a chimpanzee looking animal .equal bound and limited and conditioned to all the rules and laws of nature like the rest of all animals, , they all need to breathe, so do we, we breathe the same air that sustain us and keep us alive just like the rest of all animals, .
We are just so embarrassingly full of ego or self absorbed or greedy even to even recognize how insignificant we are in our own greedy ilusional self absorbed, senses of grandeur,
This is why moshe was so humble, and meek, He just knew better than to dare even insult God himself with self ego or arrogant sense of grandeur.
Look at saul, look at prophet Eli when God decree the death of his sons because he failed to shun their behavior, and He just said to samuel when God spoke to Samuel the first time and asked him what did the lord said, and Eli simply accepted without protest his decree, he was just so humble, so whatever God says, because he knew to be so concerned about his ego is not match to God's ultimate rendition.
He was just so selfless, even Abraham offering Yitzhak as a sacrifice even though he was the most hard earned son with Sarah, God asked Him to offer him as sacrifice, Abraham knew, he can't match God's ultimate sovereignty.
Our own ego is the Satan itself .
Our own ego is the filter that blocks us from God's connection and blessings, God is all about infinitum, we are stuck in our finite trappings of the physical reality.
God is essence laughs at our greedy sense of grandeur.
We are so ridiculous to even fathom God's reality
Is a hard pill to swallow but if we were made in God's image we would have the power to overcome death and all that is negative, but we are to arrogant to even realize it.

Malachi 3
5And I will approach you for judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely; and also against those who withhold the wages of the day laborers, of the widow and fatherless, and those who pervert [the rights of] the stranger, [and those who] fear Me not, says the Lord of Hosts.
