Rav Berg
New Moon of Leo, recorded in 1987
On an illusionary level
Arie or Leo appears, for most people
living in the illusion, as being
a very negative month.
But in essence it is Menachem Av.
In essence it is Arie of the right
column, a sharing month.
The sharing of most energy.
To the extent the Mashiach,
the Messiah, is going to be born
on that day,
on Tet B'Av (9th of Av)
in the month of Av.
So there are two levels of
understanding the same thing,
and depending where you are:
if you are in the level of illusion,
things are of a disaster nature.
If you are living, as the Zohar says,
with the "Chayot Hakodesh",
know that this same month
called 'Av' is not a destructive month,
it is on the contrary.
It is a month that you could take
the most advantage of because
in that particular month there is
more energy coming forward.
On that particular month
there is so much energy is coming
forward to the extent that the Mashiach
or the Messiah is going to be
revealed, is going to be born
and revealed on that particular time.
On the month of Av
it is like the whole atmosphere
is electrified.
It is in existence,
it is heavy all around.
There is no control
or you cannot control it.
But it exists, it is open,
it is present.
Why? Because as in the electric bulb,
what is the pole which brings
the light to the bulb?
The right pole or the left pole?
Surprisingly enough,
the manifestation of light in the bulb
is brought by the right pole.
Not the negative pole,
the positive pole.
Scientists do not understand
this crazy creation of energy.
Well, that is the way it works.
The negative pole draws the energy
into the bulb,
but the actual lighting up
of the bulb comes through
the right pole,
the positive pole.
Because the positive pole makes
manifest energy in this world.
Arie, Leo is the manifestation
of energy, and therefore,
there is always a lot of energy.
And therefore, the Messiah is going
to be born in that month, because
that is the month of enlightenment,
that is the month of revealment.
Not in Taurus.
In Taurus there is concealment.
They are both heavy energy months;
one is reveal, and one is conceal.
And now we have an answer
to another question, and also
when we question why do all
the planets revolve around the Sun?
What is the power of the Sun?
So Shabbethai Donnolo
in his commentary on the Sefer
Yetzira explains it very simply;
that the Sun, and he never ... well,
he may have taken a trip up there,
but certainly not on a physical level,
because physically any transport
space vehicle approaching the Sun
even by 20 million miles away
from the Sun
would be burnt to a crisp.
So obviously Shabbethai Donnolo
must have had some secret
space craft that could penetrate
straight to the Sun,
and he tells us what the internal
characteristic of the Sun is.
It is not hot, it is not cold,
it is a complete unified whole
of all the elements.
The Sun itself
is a completely unified whole.
And the reason he says
why all of the other planets
revolve around the Sun,
is because they are all clinging
to try to get close to the Sun
to draw its energy.
And we know, even on a physical
corporeal level, without the Sun
there is no life.
The Sun provides life
for everything that exists,
whether it is the vegetable kingdom,
the human kingdom, the animal kingdom,
even the inanimate kingdom,
even the rock kingdom.
The Sun provides the life.
Because it is an ever-present
manifestation of energy.
Therefore, all of the planets
rotate and revolve around the Sun.
This is the power of the Sun.
This is the power that exists in Av.
Therefore, it is called Av,
where we ask why is it called, "father?"
because it is the supporter,
it is the supporter of life.
So is the Sun.
It is the furnishing of energy.
Therefore, it does not have
two planets. It only has one
to indicate one unified whole.
All of the other five planets
that we said have rule,
and rule over two planets,
all the other five rule
over two planets,
not the Sun,
because the Sun is
one unified whole.
And so within Leo there is
one unified whole.
Yet we said, "So does that mean
Leo is perfect?"
Yet we see so many negative
attributes in Leo.
Yes, because there is the physical
level, the illusionary level,
the level that says in this month
Temples are destroyed,
in this month decrees
of an Inquisition is signed.
Negative month!
Yes, on a physical corporeal level
ego, arrogance, everything else
of a negative value exists in Leo.
However, on another level
or the spiritual level
that presence of the energy
is beneficial.
If you are not spiritual, you cannot connect.
If you have ego, forget it!
That means no matter whether you were born
in the month of Leo, you are not born
in the month of Leo.
Ego can never connect or permit
a connection, as the Ari says,
with the unified whole
or the Et Ratzon of the cosmos.
Never! The Ari could make
that connection
and he made that connection,
because the Ari did not have
the ego that normally would exist
in a... and since he passed away
in Av, we know he was born in Av.
He did not have that kind
of manifestation of arrogance
and ego, and therefore,
he could connect
with the spiritual level,
the real level, and therefore,
for the Ari there was never
a Hurban, there was never
a destruction.
There was only Et Ratzon,
only a period of Ratzon
which means beneficence
of the cosmos which is
to become expressed.
