What was supposed to be my first violin class yesterday was cancelled, and it was a real disappointment to me. But thing is, I also made up my mind that I want to leave my parents’ house for Tiberias, so that I can do kabbalistic masbuta in Yardenit facility (got tired of rain-drenching). Problem is that I gotta learn how to make food and clean, because I don’t have gf :( but, whatever (to quote houellbecque).
Nevertheless, I have been reading a lot of holy Zohar lately, which is really good and sweet for the soul. When you read the Zohar, it’s impossible not to get the vibe – the strong vibe – that our covenant with God consists in the enriching of the fabric of Spirit. How does that happen? Through reproduction, Zivug – proliferation of all kinds, although the Zohar (with characteristic Jewish literalism) sees a proliferation on one main, indestructible level: the task of bearing children.
Tzaddik Yesod Olam – ‘The Righteous is the Form of the Universe’
The Zohar has this verse which is very seminal (pun intended) to its entire philosophy: צדיק יסוד עולם (“the Righteous is the Form of the Universe”, Proverbs 10:25). The Righteous, in Zoharic conceptology, is the “keeper of ברית הקדשBrit HaKodesh (‘the Holy Covenant’)”. What does this “Covenant” involve? Well, according to the Zohar, the Holy Covenant pertains to the procreation of new Jewish individuals, to the increasing of Israel’s seed. Why is that difficult to keep? Because wastage of semen counts as the violation of Brit HaKodeshא. A man who preserves the Covenant of NOFAP, is a true Righteous One, a Confidant of Christ and Son-of-Faith, knight of the holy Spirit and member of Christkind. I want to quote a part from the beginning of the Zoharic corpus, part 1 of the Zohar on page 33a:
כתיב ויאמר אלהי”ם תדשא הארץ דשא עשב מזריע זרע עץ פרי, מאי עץ פרי, דא עץ הדעת טוב ורע, דאיהו עביד איבין ופרין, עושה פרי, דא צדיק יסוד דעלמא. [...] כל בני נשא דאית לון רוחא קדישא, דאיהו איבא דההוא אילנא, רשים בהו רשימא למינו, ומאי איהו, ברית קדש ברית שלום.
It is written: “Then Elohim said, ‘Let the earth produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the earth that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.’” (Genesis 1:11). What is the “seed-bearing tree”? That is the Tree of the Gnosis, that produces buds-and-fruits. “seed-bearing” – this is the Righteous, the Form of the Universe. [...] All men who uphold the Holy Spirit, which is the Fruit of that Tree, bear his [the Righteous’] imprint. And what is that imprint? The Holy Covenant, Covenant-of-Peace.
So what we learn here is that the Tree-of-Gnosis, which fuels the dynamics of procreation, is the “patron” of the righteous ones. By the power of knowledge – the capacity to generate – so do the righteous ones reproduce and enrich the fabric of Spirit. The Righteous One and his Nation preserve the “Form of the Universe” by themselves, in fighting against the fabric of badspirits (sitra achra, “otherside”), which threatens to deform and damage the Holy Spirit.
The Economy of Spirits
Now, as I’ve said in previous posts – each human has the capacity to positively contribute – or, conversely, inflict damage – to the fabric/economy of spirits. Things such as bad hygiene, bad health, bad nutrition, degeneracy, bad mood, anti-social behavior, all – to varying degrees – inflict damage upon our spiritual economy, by encouraging badspirits and promoting cosmic illnesses, deformations and “snowball” effects of badmoods and badvibes. On the other hand: reproduction, good deeds, goodvibes, happiness, health, self-help, self-care, socialization, nofap, are all conditions that strengthen and enrich, and build and affirm, within the fabric of spirit. By the explication of Israel’s congregation into a manifold of new lifesouls, sparks and twigs, expressions and singularities, continually ramifying and combining into newer individuations and offsprings, so does the Righteous preserve his indestructible Covenant with Elohim. Conclusions
My last relapse from nofap was in the past year’s September. On Yom Kippur I made a big repentance and ceased for good. I’m not enduring many challenges from the “bad-inclination”, because I put a lot of efforts into occupying myself with the holy – with the God-of-Love, with Scriptures, with Christ, with the weather, its temper; with my family (parents, brothers, aunt), with breathing, with feeling-good, with listening to good comfy music, etc. etc. etc.. My best advice for doing nofap is thinking about holy things, good things, and never tell yourself “there’s no hope” – just vibe on. Amen.
Footnotes:
אWhat is the logic behind this? It’s simple: when you waste your sperm, the seed gets deformed instead of becoming a new human, and its intrinsic spirit gets caged inside demonic structures, becoming a badspirit.
I can't stop listening to this one
