Episode Synopsis
Natural Inhibitions - ויקהל as the sharing of the דרגת משה בהר סיני at the moment of the ציווי שבת and the attempt to translate the moment of קבלת הלוחות into the משכן, the ultimate expression of the Ramban’s point of translation of the כבוד בהר סיני into a כבוד למטה. Stressing the investment of the ששת ימים that would be the essence of בריאה that could be invested in Mishkan, repeated five times out of חביבות (רבינו בחיי). It is for this reason that ישמח משה במתנת חלקו...ושני לוחות אבנים הוריד בידו even though he smashed them is in fact that which creates the ושמרו בני ישראל את השבת which was the very ציווי given to him then as the לוחות were handed over. The smashing of those לוחות were what was מחייב a Mishkan, a special place where that level can be encountered without blowing minds that were incapable.
Understanding the nature of ויקהל as demanding a mob just as the ויקהל על אהרן was the exposure of the mob, the פרעה אהרן לשמצה בקמיהן, removing the veneer of civilization and exposing the accessible bottom line which was pure nature, not mind. But the ויקהל here becomes the process in reverse, becoming the גול"ם ישראל who nonetheless wants to be part of ישראל and therefore has the bottom line of ישראל חכמים מחוכמים
Seeing the Mishkan as the destruction of the Dark Side means not only the יצרא דעבודה זרה but also the יצרא דעבירה which was the attempt indeed in the בית שני early on. Which implies that the very coming into contact with the לוחות בדרגת משה as the context for עשיית המקדש is the reason that תפילה itself is meant to take place with the עמידה בבית המקדש in mind which becomes a place of mind.
This becomes desperately important with the loss of the עדיים and the hopelessness of אבלות that descended such that the invitation to share somehow in the דרגה that was lost is an opportunity to address the very issues that made the original חירות impossible. It is just as important today, just as יחזקאל is meant to show the בית וישובו מפשעםן, and here all is presented in terms of לכפר על נפשותיכם which is the משוש לכל הארץ in terms of the opportunity to escape the horrific limitations that allow טבע to define mind instead of informing mind.
Here the continued דרגה משה is מכפר על דרגת אהרן where the לב without the consciousness can only create the “Nature Humans”, brain dead to any consciousness but with grand מדות and emotional response. These are גולמי ישראל, i.e. as גולמי כלים, Yisrael-in-formation, who can discover themselves within the mob that is Yisrael מאחר שרוצים להיות מישראל (רמב"ם) and that ongoing mob identity, המון חוגג, continues to terrify upon contemplating the reality of the מקדש, where I expect no more quarter than נדב ואביהו, as opposed to my belief that God will be forgiving” in the religion that is all in my head and “heart.”
