Tradition tells that in ancient times, when the people of Israel were still great, the Koen Gadol or High Priest entered the Holy of Holies in the Temple and pronounced the Divine Name once a year, on the Feast of Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement, Repentance and Judgment, the sixth of the seven sacred messianic celebrations or times (moedim). Thus, the anual sins of the people were forgiven.
In addition, two goats were chosen, one was spared, while the High Priest put his hands on the other, releasing those collective sins inside it. Then the goat was set free on a gorge to make it fall, or was sacrificed.
But how pronouncing a name and throw a goat will forgive sins? What head can believe that literally? Does anyone have the intelligence to think a little?
Well, let's see if we can shed some Light, which is absent in religion and those who practice rituals and statutes without understanding a bit what is really demanded of the human being.
Today is precisely Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement, a symbol and shadow of a cosmic and terrestrial event that affects all humans without distinction, since ignorance of the Law is not excuse.
The truth is that humanity has inherited all the transgressions against the natural laws of this world, carried out since the Fall to earth of the first Adam or spiritual humanity, which is still very active, influencing from the collective unconscious of a carnal humanity that Fallen Adam uses as a vehicle, just as a Wi-Fi signal (spirit) is sent to a specific software (soul) and hardware-computer (brain).
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12)
It is worth remembering that the prophet Jacob saw angels going up and down a staircase, or let´s say messenger intelligences moving through his DNA staircase. Not all thoughts come from brain networks; many come from the deep.
And obviously, the judgment is always more severe for those who know and receive these messages or even study Kabbalah or esotericism, and continue transgressing laws of this fallen world, believing that these were cancelled by some Messiah and false doctrines preached in the various churches, like that in which the Messiah is "carnally" sacrificed to pay for the sins of humanity, like the goat, remember? An idea that, as anyone with conscience will understand, is savagery. Yet, Christians like it, for it makes them believe they should no longer pay for their transgressions, something which is false. As Paul said:
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows (Galatians 6:7)
The real sacrifice is what the Light makes by coming into the world, being born inside us. So it is our true Anointed Self who bears and pays for the sins of the world, not another being. Nobody else will do it.
Needless to say, the Light of Truth has nothing to do with a righteous God, nor with being a Jew or a Christian. The Eternal Being does not judge nor professes any religion, a means that fallen angels devised for kids without conscience, and which failed on a large scale, leaving only servile behaviors, each one more ridiculous than the previous one.
We may be legalistic Jews, Christian pietists, pacifist Buddhists or Hare krishna Hinduists, and repent all we want. But if our character-personality is not aligned with the Divine Name, that is, the Personality of Love, Light, Life and Peace without time, the axe of this world falls upon us. And not because someone judges us, for there is no God who acts as supreme judge; that idea is only for merciless people affected by psychopathy.
The hard blows we receive are "effects" that come from "causes", "wrong intentions", just as an echo comes from the beating of a stone on a rock, or a body th being thrown into a tsunami. The evils of the world are the old Adamic garbage that still affects us.
So it does not matter how many ordinances or rabbinical statutes we follow, nor how many prayers of repentance we send to the gang of pagan virgins and christs, how much forgiveness we ask for, how many fasts we do, how much money we send to the poor, nor how many schools of indoctrination are opened. None of that has a positive effect if the one in control of our lives is still the spirit and genetics of the fallen Adam, with his twisted intentions.
The key to everything is the correct intention or kavanah, which comes from a righteous spirit, not a twisted one.
As a city torn down and without a wall is the man whose spirit has no reins (Proverbs 25:28)
This was precisely the message that Yehoshua wanted to convey to the rich and obedient man who also wanted eternal Life, which is not earned by works.
You still lack one thing: give to the poor, and you Will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
By ignoring the irony and subtle depth of the Master´s way of teaching, many have deemed this as a the need for the vow of poverty, which does not exist in the teaching of the Messiah. Nobody after giving to the poor, or becoming poor or mendicant monk will be more spiritual. All that can be done for the wrong purpose.
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man finds, and he hides it again; and joyful for it goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field (Matthew 13:44)
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man finds, and he hides it again; and joyful for it goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field (Matthew 13:44)
What the Master really asked him to do was to feed the divine Soul with true inner Wisdom and get rid of the old name-personality, the attachment to the fallen Adamic soul that wants to gain the supreme by pious works and possessions:
He who loves his life (fallen soul) loses it; and he who hates his life (soul) in this world will keep it for eternal life (John 12:25).
This means that the old Adam can be transformed and redeemed under the fire of the New Adam, that Soul anointed with the Divine Name, the abundance of Love, Light, Life and Peace that should be distributed as a treasure among spiritual orphans who do not enjoy them. This is how the apostle Jacob defined pure sacred practice, so to say (James/Jacob 1:27).
As for the Name-Vibration that forgives and redeems, it was also revealed to us. And it´s not really Yahveh or Jehovah, not even Jesus or Yehoshua, which are only labels. The true meaning of YHVH was always clear:
I am the way [of Love], the truth [of Conscience] and Life ... Peace I leave to you; My Peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world gives (John 14)
Holy Father, keep them in your Name, which you have given me, so that they may be one, like us. When I was with them, I kept in your name those whom you gave me, and I guarded them, and none was lost (John 17).
Not manifesting that Love, Light, Life and Peace, is like leaving the treasure hidden, leaving it to corrode and oxidize, turning into Hate, False Knowledge, Death and false Peace imposed by force.
So the world is full of poverty and sickness not because of following the Messiah or his genuine Name-Vibration, but after following the paganisms of religious leaders and congregations, including politicians and scientists who only aspire to rule over ignorant servants in a techno-society that subjects Nature wildly, as Lucifer did in his day; the Morning Star or Fallen Adam who did not know how to rise despite so much Knowledge and power to move tons of stone and build megaliths.
Therefore, the Day of Atonement is an opportunity to align ourselves with the right intention, the right spirit, the Divine Name, the unfallen Personality that brings Love, Light, Life and Peace. Otherwise, we will continue hating and dying, full bitterness, which are in themselves the Judgment that burns.
And when right intention is followed by a 26 hour fast, better than better, but the action alone can do nothing.

Shalom everyone.
