Each of us
experiences the veil
the shadow
the separation
which hide our real nature..
until our experience
like a tree planted by water
replaces our beliefs in
seeming opposition..
erasing the division and
exposing the peace of
our only Reality...
~~CC
Psalm 1 (CEV)
BOOK I
(Psalms 1-41)
The Way to Happiness
1 God blesses those people
who refuse evil advice
and won’t follow sinners
or join in sneering at God.
2 Instead, the Law of the Lord
makes them happy,
and they think about it
day and night.
3 They are like trees
growing beside a stream,
trees that produce
fruit in season
and always have leaves.
Those people succeed
in everything they do.
4 That isn’t true of those
who are evil,
because they are like straw
blown by the wind.
5 Sinners won’t have an excuse
on the day of judgment,
and they won’t have a place
with the people of God.
6 The Lord protects everyone
who follows him,
but the wicked follow a road
that leads to ruin.
Luke 6:17-26 (CEV)
Blessings and Troubles
20 Jesus looked at his disciples and said:
God will bless you people
who are poor.
His kingdom belongs to you!
21 God will bless
you hungry people.
You will have plenty
to eat!
God will bless you people
who are crying.
You will laugh!
23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy,
because great is your reward in heaven.
For that is how their ancestors treated
the prophets.
24 But you rich people
are in for trouble.
You have already had
an easy life!
25 You well-fed people
are in for trouble.
You will go hungry!
You people
who are laughing now
are in for trouble.
You are going to cry
and weep!

Tetzaveh is thus the Parshah in the Torah that embodies the “you” of Moses, his transcendent essence.
