WHAT IS SHAVUOT
Moses’ great achievement was to restore access to the Garden of Eden reality in the minds and hearts of his people. At the foot of Mt. Sinai, the tikkun, or spiritual correction, made necessary by the Fall of Adam was almost achieved with the escape from Egypt. The spiritual circuitry was close to regaining its original perfection.
The Zohar explains that what happened on Mount Sinai was a union between the presence of God (the Light) and the physical world – producing total perfection. The Light on Sinai radiated with such intensity that it banished the dark forces of death and decay, and the Israelites experienced true immortality. But only for moments!
When the Israelites lost certainty that Moshe was coming back, they built the Golden Calf, allowing mortality consciousness to reassert itself.
And it stays with us until today.
Shavuot reconnects us to the original revelation of Light that occurred on Mt. Sinai. And as every holiday connects us with the same openings every year, all that took place when Moses went up the mountain 3,400 years ago happens again at Shavuot.
By connecting to this holiday with The Kabbalah Centre, together we can arouse the spiritual energy of immortality from its slumber.
