Weekly MMM - Set List for Purim and Parsha Tetzave



SET LIST PURIM MMM PARSHA TETZAVE 2021 FEB 2021

 

THE POETRY OF PURIM PARADOX 

       Dear Purim bliss seekers------seekers of 

timelessness.....effervescent reachers into the not knowing-ness----inside out and outside in entreaters of the voice inside that will reveal to you the reason why-----bubbly mind, unsteady gait—--perhaps  the only way to relate to the inner sanctums of Atik Yomin----these are places you've never been-------yet they're as familiar to you as the back of your hand -----Purim was an attempt to trap us in a corner of time and in a perpetual exiled land ...but we are above and beyond space and  time.....so ''wipe me out of Your book,'' said the self sacrificial Tsadik –if that's what it would take to set our people free-----and the Lord said  that you have revealed the existential recipe ---- and life's perpetual masquerade----a surrealistic dance in a corner of  reality ---a serious romance with the mystique of knowing that we don't really know ------no matter deep we go ------to the contrary ------the deepness only reveals to us---- that we are just beginning to see--- that we haven't seen anything yet-----as we are launched into a rendezvous with infinite self reflective fate ---------and the wise ones sit at the gates of the paradoxical sacred spaces ---gently inviting in one and all in this festival of  paradoxical holiness 

 

 A PURIM PRAYER 

    Ribbono Shel Olam   

Master of the Universe 

 I sit here in your awesome presence 

 On this Awesome day   

The more that I contemplate   

The magnificent Grace   

Of your Holy Face   

The More I see you In Your Hiding 

 All over the Place 

 On this sublime day 

 It's not us who come to your habitation 

 It is You Who comes to visit us 

 In the midst of our celebration   

To those with eyes to see   

You show yourself in every aspect   

Of our reality   

At the beginning and end of words 

In all the sights we see   

And all the sounds that are heard   

In the smiles of beautiful babies 

 In the yesses no-s and maybes 

 Of those we reach out to   

It's really all You   

And that's all that I want to do 

 All day long   

Is to play Hide and seek with You 

 It's the only thing that rings true   

There is nothing else 

 That I'd rather do   

There is no-one else in my World but You   

     And just before I sink into Unconsciousness   

I do want You to know this; 

 I want to say thank You 

 For every breath that you allow me to breathe 

 For every sight that You allow me to see 

 For every feeling that You allow me to feel   

For coming through for me every time that I put my trust in thee 

 

 WHAT IS PURIM??   

[an MMM spontaneous perpective] 

     ***Purim is a very holy day. 

       ***Purim is lemalah, lemalah mi derech hatevah Above, Above nature      ***Purim comes after all the hope is lost. 

     ***Purim is Atik Yamin.   

Purim is a shift in making ourselves, into a whole new way of being.   

Purim is the parting of the red sea. 

 Purim is making things happen that otherwise couldn’t be.   

Purim is Esther saying kaasher avaditi avaditi, 

 if I am lost, I am lost, I give up my reality, 

 I give up this world and the next world.   

Purim is macheni …. Moshe Rabeynu saying, wipe me out, wipe me out 

 if you are not going to forgive these people, 

 blot me out of Your book. 

      *** Purim is chezkiyahu Hamelech.[King Ezekiel]   

Saying that though there is absolutely no hope in this situation   

Even if there is a sharp sword at the throat of a person 

 ready to put them away,   

We don’t stop hoping for a better day. 

     ***Purim is a time that is so high,   

so deep, 

 that even when all of the other hagim [Holidays]   

and all the other sepharim [Holy Books]   

will no longer be around—Purim will be around. 

      ***Purim is like Yom, Kipurim   

or rather— 

Yom Kippurim is like Purim 

 [Yom {ki= like} Purim] 

 These 2 very different holy of holy days converge; 

 Just like we were forgiven 

 and received the Torah on Yom Kipur 

 so too on Purim.   

On the night following Yom Kipur   

we have a big seudah [meal] following a fast day 

 before the day,of Purim   

we have a fast before the big seudah on Purim day 

      ***Purim is renewed receiving of the Torah out of love ... 

When a person says that I received the Torah out of love 

 as we did and do on Purim, , 

 all that we did wrong   

in the past 

 becomes merit, becomes light, becomes joy, becomes a place for them to be   

And they completely change reality.   

       ***Purim is reading Megilat Esther, 

 revealing the hidden dimension,.... 

Purim is opening up those hidden dimensions 

 that wouldn’t otherwise have a way to reveal themselves, 

 to show themselves.   

In the midst of a hidden reality,   

the light peeks in and we catch it.   

If you are open 

 if you're completely mevutal- in a selfless place of receiving – 

 That light opens up for you a whole new reality. 

 A place above above nature,   

a place of atik yamin, 

***Purim is a place of kaasher avadati, avadati— 

a A place of if i'm lost . i'm lost   

A place where a person never gives up, 

 no matter what the situation ,   

whatever will be 

 , he\ she knows there is a little portal   

beyond that place,   

a portal of a miraculous reality, 

 A portal of a transformative reality,   

a portal of a passionate reality   

     ***Purim is a place of wiping out our arch enemy—Amalek--- 

where our passion destroys our coldness,   

where our clarity of providence seeing   

overcomes our seeing that all is lost 

 

BURSTS OF PURIM-SPEAK 

and he couldn't sleep 

no matter how hard he tried 

because the very act of sleep 

was what got him into this bind 

in the first place 

and it was time to 

shake up 

the human race 

and the lives of one and all 

hanging in the balance 

life and death 

at the drop of a hat 

at the toss of a coin 

at the whims of 

some loose cannon 

and all they can do 

is to keep 

their hopes and eyes 

fixed tight 

on the source of 

Heaven and Earth 

and day and night 

until they realize 

that all the darkness 

will turn into light 

maybe just this once 

she'll get it right 

maybe just this once 

her people's light will shine 

and no one will 

ever wonder why 

because it's 

clear to anyone 

with eyes 

and on this 

she's willing 

to stake her life 

and the converging 

of all the many-splendored 

details of tales new and old 

and the emerging of the 

grandest story ever told 

is the story of our lives 

it's the key 

to see 

how all reality 

is only a series of circumstances 

seemingly chance occurrences 

but listen closer 

cuz the King 

is hiding behind the screen 

and speaking to you and me 

intimately 

letting us know 

what we need to do 

and where we need to be 

and the story goes on and on 

but we have to listen 

carefully if you know 

what I mean 

 


TAPPING INTO THE INFINITY FACTOR POETRY OF PURIM  

   

Dear seekers of the endless flow----feel the flow of light that is beginning to seep into your soul---on these days of paisley print multi-colored double doses of everything ------and so many other things to occupy our bodies and souls -------from here until we just don't know  anymore -----catch it while you can before the time fades away into memory ----subtle hints of history dance around our imagination with stories that reveal and conceal with equal intensity----showing us that nothing is happen-stance----it will outlast our lifetimes and all others to the end of time and beyond ----and the golden threads of miraculous memories tug at our collective consciousness histories -----can you feel the mysteries---intensities incarnate---knocking on our consciousness' garden gate---asking us to let it in ----so that we can begin again at this surreal time ------let the wine go in and the secrets come out---the secrets that will reveal who you are and who you can be ------and the bursts of Purim speak ------revelations of the visibility inside of invisibility ---will call into being the deepest yearnings that you ever imagined could  possibly be----and the vastness of your imagination will set you on a course beyond space and time---and just one more glass of wine-----at this holy time-----will shine away all the darkness of your life 

 

   

SHE WILL LIFT YOU ABOVE THE STARS  

***when you seek her out
like you seek out the greatest treasures
you will find her  

***then she will be a part of you
she will be a part of who you are
and how you see
she will show you
how to be  

***and she will be the sweetest experience
that you have ever experienced
and when she will call
you will come running  

***and she will light you up
and she will set you on fire
and become your only desire
and you will be with her
all day and all night  

***and she will lift you
above the stars
and you will be with her forever
and she will reveal to you
the deepest secrets
of life
of love
of the One Above  

***and she will protect you
when you walk in dangerous paths
and she will open your eyes
to show you
how to get through
each and every challenge
that comes to you  

***and she will save you from death
and she will heal you from sickness
and she will help you help others
and she will open up your essence  

***she is all you'll ever need
and all you'll ever want
she will plant inside you
the ancient seed
of eternity
and Infinity 

 


FIND INSIDE OF YOURSELF, THE YEARNING  

   

      ***Find inside of yourself, the yearning
---the great yearning to be born
---to be a brand new ,
pure, unhindered, fully expressed, unlimited being
—a being that is constantly & primally
in a state of expansive consciousness
—a state of being
where life is full of pleasure and meaning
and authenticity
and G-dliness
and love for everyone...  

   

      ***Now draw this yearning
into every cell in your being
---draw it into yourself
with such impact
until it’s almost unbearable
---and apply this unbearable yearning
for primal consciousness
to everything in your life
that is out of sync---even partially…..  

   

    ***And with all of your heart---
and in as much detail
as you are able to express
---cast away
all that which has held you back
-----and then, like a new born child---
step into G-d’s infinite loving embrace
, knowing that you are well on your way
back to where you originally came from
and always yearned to return to… 

 

SEE THE VASTNESS  

***See the vastness
of what there is to see
[that is normally not seen]  

***See the vastness
of the normally overlooked gifts
that people give you  

***See the vastness
of wisdom accessible to you
that you normally overlook  

*** See the vastness
of coping tools
that you constantly create  

***See the vastness
of salvations that Hashem sends you
all the time  

***See the vastness
of guidance that G-d constantly
sends to you  

***See the vastness
of love that you have in your heart
[usually unexpressed]  

*** See the vastness
of experiences and life lessons
that you have experienced  

*** See the vastness
of esoteric energies, angels, soul stirrings
calling to you  

***See the vastness
of as yet untapped influences
that you can send out 

 

PURIM ESSENCE POINT MEDITATIONS  



1A. KOL HAPOSHEIT YADO/ALL WHO EXTEND THEIR HAND 
ASK FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT
Just like on Purim, anyone who extends their hand in prayer to Heaven receives whatever they ask for, so too now begin to ask for all the good things that you need and want in your life

1B. KOL HAPOSHEIT YADO../ALL WHO EXTEND THEIR HAND 
GIVE UNCONDITIONALLY
Just like on Purim , anyone who extends their hand to receive charity from you receives it no matter who they are, so too now practice giving of yourself freely and unconditionally even in non-financial areas.

2A. MEGILLAT ESTHER/REVEALING THE HIDDEN
MASKS
Just like on Purim, the story of Esther teaches us that all the seeming non-G-dly characters and adventures are really all the revelation of G-d, and we commemorate this by wearing masks on Purim (reminding us that the Hand of G-d works through the masked characters and situations), so too now find all the hidden characters and desires inside of yourself, that for various reasons normally don’t get recognized, and allow them to come out and express themselves and demonstrate their important G-dly role in your total personality. 



3. NICHNAS YAYIN, YOTZEI SOD/WINE GOES IN TRUTH COMES OUT
DEEPEST TRUTH
Just like on Purim, we get drunk on wine, and the Hebrew numerical values of yayin/wine and Sod/secret are equal to each other (70), showing that the wine brings out our deepest secret truths, so too now (even without the wine) practice reaching deep down inside of yourself to find and reveal your deepest truths.

4. AD DLO YADA/UNTIL YOU DON’T KNOW
NOT KNOWING
Just like on Purim, we are commanded to drink until we don’t the difference between good (‘Blessed is Mordechai) and evil (‘Cursed is Haman’), so too now, even without being drunkc ontemplate all of those areas of life that you just don’t know, and accept with happiness this ‘not knowing’ realm, both as a liberating place to be in and of itself (by knowing that what you know, you really don’t know), as well as a way to begin to know that what you don’t yet know.

5. V’NAHAFOCH HU/AND IT WILL BE A TURNAROUND
AMAZING IRONY HUMOUR
Just like on Purim, we see that the events of the story of Esther showed us that exactly the opposite of what was supposed to happen to us (a genocidem G-d forbid) really happened (an incredible miraculous redemption), so too now marvel at all of the amazing turnarounds of your past, present and projected future.

6. AMALEK= COINCIDENCE [MIKRE]
NOTHING IS COINCIDENTAL
Just like on Purim, we respond to the inner and outer spiritual attack of our arch-enemy-Amalek, transforming his trait of seeing that all is coincidental, by seeing that, to the contrary, nothing is coincidental, so too now reveal Hashem as being the engineer and Prime cause of all that happens to you in every detail of your life (inside of you and out).

7. AMALEK = DOUBT [SAFEIK]
EMUNA CLARITY (ATEM AIDAI\YOU ARE MY TESTIFIERS)
Just like on Purim , we respond to the inner and outer spiritual attack of our arch-enemy-Amalek, transforming his trait of seeing that all is doubtful (especially Hashem’s felt presence), by testifying to the contrary, that all is absolutely clear G-dliness, so too now make a list of your inner doubts, and for each one, reach down deep and find that ‘knowing’ place, and turn all those doubts into ‘knowings,’similarly find and reveal G-d where He’s hiding in all aspects of your life.

8. AMALEK=COOLING DOWN [KRIRUT]
ENTHUSIASM
Just like on Purim, we respond to the inner and outer spiritual attack of our arch-enemy-Amalek , transforming his trait of seeing that all is ‘ho-hum’ - lacking enthusiasm, by seeing that, to the contrary, all of life and the Service of Hashem is full of enthusiasm and excitement, so too now even if you have to ‘fake it till you make it," transform as much of your life and your Service of Hashem into an overflowing wellspring of excitement and enthusiasm.

9. AMALEK= DISCONNECTION [KERI] ALL IS INTERCONNECTED
Just like on Purim, we respond to the inner and outer spiritual attack of our arch-enemy-Amalek, transforming his trait of seeing that all is haphazard, chaotic and disconnected, by seeing that, to the contrary, everything is interconnected, so too now search for the inter-connections between seeming haphazard, non connected events of your life (until you begin to see how everything is united and amazingly interconnected). Also see how when Hashem closes one door in your life, he opens another one (or sometimes many other ones in it’s place).

10. KOL ZE AINENU SHAVE LI/ALL OF THIS ISN’T WORTH IT [AS LONG AS MORDECHAI ISN’T BOWING TO ME]REFUSING TO BOW  Just like on Purim, in the Story of Esther, the Evil Haman, who was temporarily lifted to fame and power, could not enjoy it at all so long as his nemesis-Mordechai the Jew-refused to bow to him and recognize him, so too now identify non G-dly, non-complete self-expressing compromising choices that you are pressured to make in life, and find the courage inside of yourself to not ‘bow’ to the pressure, and  not settle for anything less than the All-ing, G-ding choices 

 

THE POETRY OF REVEALING THE HIDDEN DIMENSION ON PURIM 

    Dear fellow anticipators of the hidden light---that is shining so brightly now--in some of the darkest nights of our collective subconscious historical exile lives….and Mordechai the Tsadik let out a dark and bitter scream ----and thereby brought into being some of the greatest miracles our people have ever seen
