The Concept of Tzimtzum, the Contraction

Thus to form an Hebrew abbreviation (contraction of the CMYK color model): צמצו"ם

The CMYK model works by partially or entirely masking colors on a lighter, usually white, background -- the concept of tzimtzum, the contraction and "removal" of God's infinite light in order to allow for Creation of independent realities.

When the Angels visited Avraham they inquired "Where is Sarah your wife?" He replied "Hineih b'ohel" -- "Behold [she is] in the tent" (Bereishit 18:9). Avraham implied it is inappropriate for a woman to leave the confines of her home. Hence, the Israelite woman, undoubtedly, emulated this dignified behavior, and thus, the woman of Amon and Moab cannot be faulted for not greeting them with bread and water, since they were unaware that the Jewish women were journeying together with the men.
>>>
The acronym of these 8 pesukim [that don't begin with the letter vav] spells the words "Yish'ee b'ohel" (ישעי באהל) -- "My salvation is in the tent," i.e., from Avraham's saying that Jewish woman should be b'ohel -- within the confines of the tent -- proof was derived that Moabite women who convert are not forbidden to enter into marriage with Jewish men. Consequently, David says, "Yish'ee -- my salvation -- comes from Avraham's saying that Sarah is b'ohel -- in the tent. Thanks to his words, Boaz was permitted to marry Ruth, and I am thus halachically qualified to be the head of the Davidic dynasty and the ancestor of Mashiach."

Somewhere along the way I got the vibe that Joseph's coat "of many colors" was a coat of light -- here, there, and everywhere -- but if that's the case, additive colors or subtractive colors? He seems like the type who could paint with them all, because "Joseph holds the key to not only Jacob's but the family's ission.."

"ketoneth passim"

כתנת פסים

= 1060 =

צבעים חיבוריים וצבעים חיסוריים

"additive colors and subtractive colors"

The first place the sum of 1060 appears in the Torah is the beginning of verse 5:

5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness [ויקרא אלהים לאור יום ולחשך] he called Night; And there was evening and there was morning, one day:

You know what they say, what = 1060:

"All roads lead to light."

It turns out that "Yinon" is a mathematical equation: נון x י

10 x 106:

If we break the word "Yinon" into two -- yud and nun -- nun means kingship, and putting a yud before a word denotes continuity.¹⁷ Therefore, the name Yinon implies that the kingship of Mashiach will endure forever.
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/137086/jewish/Nun.htm

One day I had wondered what the browser's "Translate to English" would do to Psalm 72:17, and this is what it told me:

May His name be forever before the sun of Yinon His name, and may all nations approve of Him.

"Audaces Fortuna Juvat",

so I worked on a nice color diagram for all of you, before heading out to feed the birds:

History, holidays, traditions, allegories, analogs, midrashim, rules and mitzvot and so on all serve a great purpose.. to teach the next generation, for one thing:

Exodus 13:14. And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? that you shall say to him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slavery:

A nice detail in the tzimtzum diagram is that the "cyan, magenta, yellow, and key" Hebrew phrase ends on the word patach [פתח], from which "key" is derived:

It's not just the root to open, פתח is the name of the Egyptian creator god Ptah, whose house and power *was* [the built-in obsolescence of]

EGYPT:

Etymology
From ḥwt (“enclosure”) +‎ kꜣ (“ka”) +‎ ptḥ (“Ptah”) with direct genitive constructions, thus literally ‘house of the ka of Ptah’.

The "ka" being Ptah's ko'ach hachaim, life force. You can see that info at D28, the symbol that serves as a visual representation for the etymology of the name Judah ("Hands up!").

Why is it that God responds to Rachel and not to the Patriarchs or to Moshe? Certainly these were men of greatness and inordinate dedication to the Jewish people. Reb Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin proposes that the difference lies in the initiative Rachel takes, without first having to be commanded by God. From this perspective, we can say that the Patriarchs and Moshe perform their acts of self-sacrifice in response to God’s command. Rachel, on the other hand, takes it upon herself to mastermind a plan that will save her sister’s dignity, without any prior directive from God.

*"Open for me, my bride…, for my head is full of dew". (Song. 5:2) The dew refers to the light which flows from the hair of his head, whose numerical value is the same as that of the word for "dew" ["tal", tet-lamed = 39].

I figured I should go ahead and ping you nully, because your handle is pretty much the whole theme goin on in here, on multiple levels.

Yeah, I know this stuff probably 🤔 makes me look bad, but I have my reasons. They're all good. Good enough to be willing to make myself look like a complete jerk in the process. It is what it is.

Passover:

Concerning the diagram above, in post 23:

The inner triangle = 148 [פסח, Pesach], and

The entire 2-4-1 special "key" space area is the mafte'ach, "key". The K of the CMYK acronym.

The rest of the Key space = 93 ["HaMegillah", the scroll (of Esther)], which divides as 3 x 31.

This even plays off of the 3-3-1 arrangement of a Seder plate with the word Pesach in the middle, and also a midrash about Haman casting lots. (133 really is the ultimate winning lot.)

179 = venahafoch hu, so it all turned to the contrary for him.

The numeral 31 is ל"א [lo לא, "not", a negation], the reverse of the word "El", "el", or L (God, god, or the Latin letter "L", which is 50 in Roman numerals).

I'm pointing that out because an L is also a key -- an Allen [אלן] EZ key which puns off of all that as El + the letter nun, which has a value of 50. (Allen is the name used in Hebrew.)

It's a "hex" key, which is also the "pet" name for the hexadecimal system, where L is "4c" like this here postage stamp imagery for marking 50 years, as well as the decimal value of 76, the spirit of.

And in this key space, there are these three EZ keys, picking up on the tradition about the three keys that God keeps in His own possession. Here's the link to the brief source text which also cites the verse references.

The Transformative Power of Pesach
A beautiful image of the future redemption is written in Isaiah 35:6: "At that time (when Mashiach will come) the lame man will skip like a hart."
In reality, we often observe or experience things that seem to be bad. The beauty of creation is in the Torah, which gives us the power to transform evil to good. Pesach has that transformative power. It can transform lameness to true and beautiful free skipping. The vision of the lame man skipping like a hart is a very important image to have in mind on Pesach.
>>>
The Key to Penetrating the Heart
The constraints of Egypt are psychological barriers that cannot be penetrated. These psychological barriers, which exist at some level in all of humanity, leave us all lame. The Hebrew word for "compassion," chemlah (chet, mem, lamed, hei), is a permutation for the Hebrew for "disease," machalah (mem, chet, lamed, hei). When we connect to another with compassion, which is even deeper than the embrace of love, we redeem him from his psychological barriers. His diseased state of lameness is then transformed to the Messianic skipping of the hart.
The transformative energy of Pesach is the power to break free of all psychological barriers, and with compassion in our hearts, to leap all the way into the hearts of God, our spouse, family and friends.
Pesach ("Passover"): Transforming Blemishes into Divine Wonders

Gotta laugh for the joy of discovery, because there's also the very famous, iconic L that even ended up on the face of a gravestone.

"Show me a Penny" [פני] and I can show you the man famous for "freeing the slaves" (or for the destruction of universe, depending on perspective).

Then it turns out that פני מרשל was the director of "Renaissance Man", a 30-year-old movie about a bunch of unenthusiastic and semi-literate soldiers who had a long way to go but a short time to get there.

I mention it because in the post I am replying to, you can see how the "Renaissance Man" is the framework value for the entire coat of many colors diagram(s).

As for the entire 2-4-1 special "key" space area, it's a veritable bargain, a real find -- 50% off when buying in pairs.

BOGO. It really goes a long way in explaining why the half shekel was defined in terms of a whole shekel (Exo 30:13), rather than for its individual value, but that's just the kind of thinking that keeps me far outside of the approved circles.

That's got to be one of the best representative images on a Wiki page ever:

"Happy hour" sign on a pub in Jerusalem: Buy one draught beer, get one free

Anyone realize what's obscured behind that 1 + 1 Happy Hour sign?

It's a "NES", a miracle, but who is still reading far past the "To:" line?

It's like what's on that classic Quantum Torah page:

Although it is a bit of oversimplification and quantum entanglement is more complicated than that, this metaphor helps students understand the main concept of entanglement—it is possible to find information about one object by learning about another object, without any communication between the two. I think every physics professor uses this example to explain to students the concept of entanglement.
Perhaps, G‑d was teaching Moses the concept of entanglement as well. Each of us is only half-coin or, rather, half-person. Together, we can form a whole.
Half-Shekel – Metaphor for Entanglement

Beware, there's always more where that came from. It's what's for breakfast. 😊

The color chart turned out to be a most insightful diagram. When the color names "just so happened" to spell out tzimtzum, I couldn't help but take a closer look.

I mean seriously, what are the odds? The spiritual concept of the contraction/subtraction of the light predates the printing process by... more than a few years.

Then the darkness/blackness got the name "Key" for its alignment function. It was quickly becoming burning bush territory, even with a Campfire Girl in the OHEL, tent. A bride, no less, with a couple of crossed sticks:

According to one opinion, an angel appeared first and after him the Shekinah; while according to others the appearance of the angel merely indicated to Moses that the Shekinah was near.
https://jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/3845-burning-bush

As you can see from the several odd numbers in the field, the A = 1074 circle is really the lowest value such that the rest of the spaces also nicely fall in as whole numbers, so close to their fractional values.

Thus when I started comparing to my "database", lots of intrinsic and interconnected information appeared in the diagram that are already present and known, such as...

179 as venahafoch hu, and say, what's Hamantaschen doing in there.

179 doubled is 358, well-known for being "Mashiach", as well as his opposite character, the "nachash" serpent.

And then on that note, it's already long been observed that the first place "Haman" appears in the Torah is in Gen 3:11, regarding the serpent:

And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the [המן] tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

As a side detail involving Christian symbolism, the phrasing reads as "You, Haman - Tree." [אתּה המן־העץ], which = 666.

And the word for the gallows Haman had built for Mordecai: etz עץ, tree/stick/wood.

("The more you know..")

I don't have to tell you, nully -- when somebody starts off on the wrong foot in mathematics world -- with the wrong value for "x", say -- the "solve for" process is DOA. Nobody's solving anything, reality-wise. All ink, no link. Some are simply not in any good position to blink.

How can you solve for "y" if "x" is a bad starter seed? The serpent was the first preacher of God's word, the world's very first Bible scholar so to speak. It was all down slope from there.

People lost their SOH, Sense Of Humor. Result? Sins, everywhere!

Well, I still hold out hope for even the worst characters slithering around:

SERPENT ↔️ REPENTS

Why is Y sometimes a vowel?

When you see a Y in the road, take it. It really does save lives. 55 also spells ha-yam [הים], "the sea" which is already parted, having that literal-conceptual space in-between, ה + ים.

5 + 50.

Makes me suspect that Moses had been tasked to point out the obvious.

241...

That's a deep dive, which might explain why I didn't go there upthread already. For a few examples, just with the letters that spell the numeral 241 (רמ"א):

אמר - "he said"; e.g. and God said, "Let there be light, and there was light."

ראם - the mysterious "unicorn(s)" of Joseph's blessing that does not exist. It's just another piece of evidence that it was Joseph who came up with the Universal Hot-Crazy Matrix, after his encounters with that cougar for a boss' wife. Traditions even say that Osnat was really Dina's daughter. Perhaps Potiphar's "wife" gave off certain tells that she had serious gender issues. XX or XY? Can't be too cautious out there. The Bible is filled with all manner of practical wisdom for every man.

ארם - Aram as in Padan Aram, Lavan's hometown, the root of Aramaean, Aramaic et al.

מרא -- Mara, "bitter", the name Naomi gave herself for how she felt, saying,

"I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty."

Empty. 🤔

Depends on perspective. She really felt like she had dropped down a black hole.

It all worked out in the end, though, because wherever you find tRUTH, you'll find Ruth:

Ruth 4
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

Famous! David. *The* Renaissance Man.

And can you believe it? The first two sculptors abandoned the project. The first declared that he could not work with that stone, is was defective. IIRC the next guy just walked off the job without explanation.

Upon modern inspection it was discovered that the marble was indeed full of holes. Yet somehow Michelangelo was able to take Carrara business, and the rest is history:

Psalm 118
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head of the corner.
23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

Twice the King James Bible informs,

"Observe my statues!" ~ God.

Oh look, there's David, in both places. Riight, must be another... "coincidence".

If I've learned one thing, it's that no one but no one out-puns the Master of the Puniverse. He always gets there first. To light the way. 🔥

Midnight oil -- it may have been Seen on TV, because it's not sold in stores.

Uh oh, I'm back. (The chickens needed some love and attention.)

And the rest is his story..

Last night I had been thinking about some of the words in the Song of Redemption, especially the crescendo part about transcending the natural order.

After all, when the proud father had stood up just ahead of the song, enthusiastically shouting, "Davey! That's my Davey!", he really set the tone for the impossible to become possible. 🥹

There were fifty mounted cannon in the battery,
Thundering, thundering, louder than before.
Clarinets of ev'ry size and trumpeters who'd improvise
A full octave higher than the score.

"Trumpeters who'd improvise."

I'd wondered if Hebrew for "improvise" was related to ingenuity, so I looked it up:

לְאַלְתֵּר
to improvise
https://www.pealim.com/dict/110-lealter/

Before I saw the "See also" word at the bottom of the page (sharing the same 4-letter... root), I'd noticed that "to improvise" = 661, the same as Esther. And there was that "signature" L [אל] right at the head of the root. (It's always something.)

The sum was instantly interesting, because what else had Esther been doing in the palace all of that time, isolated from her people. Mum's the word. She couldn't even reveal her identity, but when there's a will there's a way. The alternate explanation for the title of the Megillah -- being the "revealing of the hidden" -- *is* Esther on the very face of the name, not to mention the entire narrative.

If she'd been running around asking questions, it would have been a dead giveaway to her Jewish identity as one of the very People of the Book. This would suggest that she had to improvise, paradoxically an even more obvious 'tell'.

"To improvise" is certainly a fitting activity to equate with the value of Esther. It's not much of a disguise, for those who know what to look for in the quintessential modest Jewish girl. Haman was too busy to ever notice, being too preoccupied with combing his hair and priding himself on his own intrinsic value.

Worse yet, Mordecai the Jew sat at the gate, refusing to march to Haman's tune. "Typical Jew", Haman kvetched to anyone who would listen. "They've all gotta go!"

(There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds!)

"See also". That's where the fun really got going:

Who does Nazi where this is headed?!

That's the Ayelet in Ayelet Hashachar [אילת השחר], the Doe of the Dawn, even the dew of the dawn of Psalm 22 as it were. Esther! Psalm 22 -- the psalm that as tradition has it, was prophetically composed for Esther by King David, so she could have a little something to help her make it through the long years of isolation in the palace.

Despite her tragic circumstances, Esther did not lose faith or hope.

>>>
In the Talmud, Esther is compared to the ayelet hashachar, the first ray of light in the morning. The psalm of ayelet hashachar, Psalm 22, is dedicated to her:
"My Lord, my Lord, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me despite my cries? Oh my God I cry in the daytime but you do not respond, and in the night I have no rest. But you are Holy, enthroned by the praises of Israel" (Psalm 22:2-4)
The Midrash expands on this idea, giving a voice to Esther:
"My Lord, my Lord, why have you forsaken me? My Lord at the [splitting of] the sea, my Lord at Sinai, why have you forsaken me? Why has the order of the world changed concerning me? The order of the mothers? With regard to our mother Sarah, she was held captive by Pharaoh one night and he and his whole household were struck with a plague ... but I have been placed in the bosom of this wicked man all these years, for me you do no miracles. My Lord, my Lord, why have you forsaken me?" (Midrash Tehilim Buber, 22:16)
>>>
Had Esther chosen the path of martyrdom, it would have taught the wrong lesson. God neither wants nor needs our sacrifices. Instead, Esther teaches a different lesson, the idea that kindness is more important than sacrifice, and that a pure mind is at the core of the service of God. Esther's pure mind, coupled with her love of God, saved the Jewish people from annihilation.

LOVE AND REPENTANCE

The Talmud teaches that repentance motivated by love of God is so profound that it can transform a sin into a Mitzvah. Perhaps a "sin performed for the sake of heaven" is another expression of the same idea.

The ancient Greek word for "dove" was peristerá,[1][2] which may be derived from the Semitic phrase peraḥ Ištar, meaning "bird of Ishtar".
>>>
In post-biblical Judaism, souls are envisioned as bird-like (Bahir 119), a concept that may be derived from the Biblical notion that dead spirits "chirp" (Isa. 29:4). The Guf, or Treasury of Souls, is sometimes described as a columbarium, a dove cote. This connects it to a related legend: the "Palace of the Bird's Nest", the dwelling place of the Messiah's soul until his advent (Zohar II: 8a--9a). The Vilna Gaon explicitly declares that a dove is a symbol of the human soul (Commentary to Jonah, 1).
The dove is also a symbol of the people Israel (Song of Songs Rabbah 2:14), an image frequently repeated in Midrash.

A four-letter root is uncommon, and sometimes indicative of a root of foreign origin.

This one is of foreign origin, and also a contraction:

Klein's:

(לְ)אַלְתַּר adv. PBH on the spot, at once. [Aram., contraction of אַל־אֲתַר (= אֲתַר עַל), lit.: ‘on the place’ (see עַל and אֲתַר). For sense development cp. Eng. on the spot, Fren. sur-le-champ, Ger. auf der Stelle.] Derivative: אלתר.
אלתר to improvise, extemporize.
— Pi. - אִלֽתֵּר he improvised, extemporized.
— Pu. - אֻלֽתַּר was improvised, was extemporized.
[Formed from אַלֽתַּר.] Derivatives: אִלְתּוּר, אַלֽתּֽרָן, מֽאֻלְתָּר.

The above link can be explored for its continued etym. trail. What happened is that אתר "traced" over to the tav-shin letter swap between Aramaic and Hebrew, leading to asher אשר the relative pronoun. In modern Hebrew it's usually contracted down to the letter shin, as a prefix to introduce a clause:

אֲתַר, אַתְרָא m.n. PBH place. [Aram., related to Arab. - athr, ’ithr, Ethiop. ’ashar (= track, trace), Akka. ashru (= place). See אשׁר ᴵ and cp. אֲשֶׁר.] Derivatives: אתר, אַלְתַּר. cp. בָּתַר (prep.).

It's like that "tour guide" = 475 image I posted at 22:

Going back to:

The soul of Mashiach has two dimensions. One is the enlightenment that all of creation will enjoy; and one is that there will be an individual (or a couple) that will master mind and master heart this giant planetary-scale project of coordinating all of humanity into a single, smoothly operating organism, that will run as efficiently as a person's body. According to Kabbala, all of humanity, actually all of creation, is really a single partzuf, a single Adam. In fact, one main feature of messianic consciousness is a greater awareness of our oneness in this regard.

The origins of the torii are unknown and there are several different theories on the subject, none of which has gained universal acceptance.

Dare to go higher, because

For this kind of joiny, it really does help to have a little Levity, for the proper operation of all things "Temple". It blew me away that a joint like this was possible.

Here's a current topic, plus more "dumb":

Shir HaShirim

Give a sweet little Camp Fire Girl a match, and sparks will fly...

Come, sit down..

It's a prophecy. Even Ezekiel called him David.

"A repeat after me song (also known as an echo song) is a type of song where a leader sings a verse followed by the audience repeating what they say. This is common for campfires, particularly among youth."

We can do better than this, we can go for the glory:

Kong...

Pesach - Israel is Hashem's Song
Why is Shir Hashirim called the greatest of all songs? How do the other books of Shlomo Hamelech (Kong Solomon) - Koheles and Mishlei - have a message for the nations of the world, and yet Shir Hashirim is exclusive to the Jewish people?

Something about instrinsic qualities, so as "to praise the Master of Everything":

1075 = Israel, uncontracted:

יוד שין ריש אלף למד

National Propane Day is 10/7, October 7th:

Propane [פרופאן]
=
417
=

the olive [זית] for the light.

A lightsabre [חרב אור], as it were.

417:
Adam + David + Mashiach
[אדם + דוד + משיח]

And,

1075 + 417 = 1492:

Lou [לו], aka the Hidden Light

The count of years begins with 1 Tishri A.M. 1 (Anno Mundi), which corresponds to Monday, 7 October 3761 B.C.E. (proleptic Julian calendar).

Here's the first place where 417 appears; i.e. adds up for a word/word string in the Torah...

ויאמר יהוה אלהים לא טוב

Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good...

Remember what happened next in this birthday party storyline?

It's a what? What is it?!! Oh nooo...

Then at the place where the two sabra fruits ripened on the one plant in the desert (starting at 3:50), we learned that "No one is getting replaced."

As it turns out, the very first place where a letter string of 417 appears is in Genesis 1:2..

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and [תהו ו] void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God hovered upon the face of the waters.

And you probably already know that tohu v'vohu together = 417 + 13 = 430 = nefesh, thus "one lightsabre" [חרב אור אחד]. The power of the Force.

See, this is what happens when some dumb kid decides to go out into the world with a single match, in order to light up the world to redeem the sparks everyone's always... talking about.

Great, a tzimtzum portal diagram! Prizes for playing!

Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

New Light (Ohr Chadash) searched for the light and returned with this intel for the sum:

האור (212)
TOTAL MATCHES: 1074

The first two being:

בראשית 1:4
וירא אלהים את *האור* כי טוב ויבדל אלהים בין האור ובין החשך

בראשית 1:4
וירא אלהים את האור כי טוב ויבדל אלהים בין *האור* ובין החשך
