Options and Fine-Tuning

OPTIONS and FINE-TUNING:

You will achieve the best results if you can select the most ideal option from any set of options.  However, it is much better to be able to choose the best out of a set of, say, 100 options than to only be able to choose the best out of a set of 10 options.  In general, when you have a greater number of options to choose from, and can choose the most ideal option from this set, you will get better results than if you only had a smaller set of options to choose from.

In addition, each option may be expanded into a set of sub-options.  These sub-options may continue expanding to further layers of depth into sub-sub-options, sub-sub-sub-options and so on.  The most powerful systems to work with are those that have a manageable set of options at each layer, but can be expanded to multiple layers of depth.  With this, the options can always be refined for more customization.  This is called fine-tuning.

With fine-tuning systems, you will be able to select the best option from an exponentially large set of options.  Suppose that each layer has 100 options and you can explore a depth of 5 layers.  This gives a total of 100^5 = 10 billion options.  But one need not search through 10 billion possibilities to find the most ideal option.  You only need to search through 100 options at each of the 5 layers.  This means that fine-tuning systems have logarithmic search time.

Again, more options means better results, but exponentially many more options means exponentially better results.  If you can select the best option from a set of 10 billion options, you will have exponentially better results than only being able to choose from a set of 100 options.

One letter out of place in the Torah destroys the entire universe

"Rabbi Ishmael said to me, ‘My son, what is your occupation?’ I told him, ‘I am a scribe’, and he said to me, ‘Be meticulous in your work, for your occupation is a sacred one; should you perchance omit or add one single letter [in preparing a Torah scroll], you would thereby destroy all the universe’."

-- Talmud Bavli, tractate Eruvin 13a



To better understand this quotation from the Talmud, please read this page on the rigors of preparing a Torah scroll:



Making a Torah Scroll - How is it made?

Some highlights:

• There are 304,805 letters in a Torah Scroll.
• Each page has 42 lines.
• The Torah Scroll must be written by a specially trained pious scribe called a sofer.
• It takes about a year to write an entire Torah Scroll.
• Even a single missing or misshapen letter invalidates the entire Sefer Torah. [!!!]
 

The Talmud on the Creation of the World with the Letters Yod and Heh

"R. Judah the patriarch asked R. Ammi: What is the meaning of the verse, 'Trust ye in the Lord for ever; for in Yah the Lord is an everlasting rock?' He replied: It implies that if one puts his trust in the Holy One, blessed be He, behold He is unto him as a refuge in this world and in the world to come. This, retorted the other, was my difficulty: why does the verse say 'in Yah' and not 'Yah?' The reason is as was expounded by R. Judah ben R. Ila'i: Yah, he said, refers to the two worlds which the Holy One, blessed be He, created, one with the letter heh and the other with the letter yod. Yet I do not know whether the future world was created with the yod and this world with the heh or this world with the yod and the future world with the heh; but since it is written, 'These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created' read not 'be-hibare'am' 'when they were created', but 'be-he bera'am', 'He created them with the heh'; hence I may say that this world was created with the heh and the future world with the yod."

-- Talmud Bavli, tractate Menachot 29b

Torah of the Heart

"In order for one to receive proper Torah instruction, one must also experience it as the vibrant Living Soul that it is. Torah learning that is exclusively academic, placing facts and information into the intellect alone, is not Torah experience. Torah learning that is true is experienced; it is known within the heart, the deepest place of knowing within the human experience.

"When Torah is received within, one ponders its meaning with a sense of familiarity. When one learns Torah in one's heart, one has a feeling that the Torah learned is nothing new, but rather something that one has always known and is now just being able to be put into words or another more familiar form.

"True Torah learning is nothing new; it is merely an awakening of something very, very old that is lying deep within us, waiting to be awakened. The sleeper must awaken. One must cultivate remembering the inner Torah that one already has within. Only when the inner Torah is recognized will the external Torah be understood properly. This is the nature of Living Torah, also known as the Indwelling Presence, the Shekhinah."

The 13 Attributes of Mercy - Practical Application for Daily Life

We explain how to apply the 13 Attributes of Mercy, as taught in the Kabbalah of Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, for practical application in daily life.  First we explain the theory of the 13 Attributes and how they are derived, and then indicate their placement on the Etz Chayyim (Tree of Life).  We then introduce the 13 Attributes individually, both in the original Hebrew and in English translation.  We give many tips on how to apply the 13 Attributes in challenging life situations, especially to overcome conflicts with other people.  We finish by doing a simple activation of the 13 Attributes that you can learn to do yourself, and mention that there are many more advanced activations that can be done with the 13 Attributes.

Video series on Torah Mysteries and the Fractal Geometry of Creation

This 3-part video series reveals many deep mysteries behind creation. This is really cool stuff if you're interested in expanding your consciousness to be aware that you are living in universe full of magic.

We begin introducing the esoteric concept of the Torah as the codebook of creation. We then describe the basics of fractal geometry by introducing the Cantor set and look at the 10 sefirot of the Tree of Life as an example of a fractal structure that occurs throughout creation. This will lay the foundations for the next videos which will present the mysteries of the Torah as the fractal language of creation.

Part 1:

---

We continue the video series by exploring concepts related to fractals and spiritual science. The idea of a fractal is illustrated with the very important example of the Mandelbrot set. We also explain the meaning of vibrational resonance and indicate how it will be used to scientifically verify the claims to be made in the next video regarding the Torah as the fractal language of creation.

Part 2:




---

We build upon the concepts introduced in the first two parts to now present the main claims of this research. The idea of the Torah as the fractal language of creation is presented in detail. We will also see that Torah itself is a fractal. We begin by taking seriously the Talmudic teaching that the whole Torah is somehow contained in just the first letter Bet. We conclude by indicating practical methods of activating these energies into our consciousness and experience fractal states of mind.
Part 3:

The Mapmakers & The MeTa-Programmers

The keys to consciousness programming are given by 'The Mapmakers', who reveal the architecture of the resonance morphisms within the structures of emanation. The 'MeTa-programmers' create the algorithms for the time-released upgrading of our consciousness software cycle. The maps contain the patterns of letter-function subroutines which come from our higher image in the 'original memory'.

"We learned from the divine, prophetic, and religious Kabbalah that when the wise mystic performs the Tzerufim (Permutations), the Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) rests upon him. At first, the things he obtains from the Tzeruf will fill him with fear and awe; his hair will stand on end, and his organs will tremble. Then, if he is worthy, Ruach Elohim (Spirit of God) will rest upon him. He will feel as if his entire body from head to toe, were anointed with anointing oil. He will become the anointed of haShem (the Name), and become his emissary; he will be called the Malakh haElohim (Angel of God) and his name will be the name of his Rav (Master), which is Shaddai (Almighty), who is called Metatron, the Prince of the Presence (Sar haPanim)."
