The
Error of Sarah was the throwing out of Hagar and Ishmael
from the Jewish community. Since Abraham allowed this
to happen, and "listened
to the voice of his wife," he made the same
error.
For
most of her life, Sarah was barren. She told Abraham
to have a child with his maidservant, Hagar. Ishmael
was born and was Abraham's firstborn son. In Judaism,
Ishmael is the Father of the Arabic nations, as Jacob
(also named Israel), son of Isaac, is the Father of
the Hebrews.
When
Sarah, in her 90s, finally conceived Isaac, the presence
of Ishmael threatened her.
From
The Torah, Genesis 21:5-10
"And
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was
born to him.
Sarah said, "God has made laughter for me; whoever hears
will laugh for me."
This
is a very significant passage. Sarah says "Everyone
who hears that I have had this miraculous child, will
laugh with me." Sarah uses the verb "To
Laugh",
put into the future tense, "Shall laugh" and
the name of Isaac in Hebrew, is this very same name
"Yitzhak." The name of laughter for the miracle
of his birth.
"And
she said, "Who is the One Who said to Abraham, 'Sarah
would nurse children'? For I have borne a son in his
old age!"
The
child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast
on the day Isaac was weaned.
Sarah
saw the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, whom she had born
to Abraham, mocking."
This
passage is very interesting and very significant. Sarah
saw Abraham's son, Ishmael, "mocking." Yet
this is a mis-translation of the Hebrew. When you look
at the verb "Miztahek" ,
it is the same verb as Yitzhak, meaning "to laugh",
but it is in the third person present, because Ishmael
is laughing. Ishmael did not mock, he laughed, just
as Sarah had asked those who witnessed the miracle of
Yithak's birth to laugh with her.
"So she said to Abraham,
"Drive out this slavewoman with her son, for the son
of that slavewoman shall not inherit with my son, with
Isaac!""
Of
course Sarah felt diminished all those years when she
was barren. Even though she knew she had to allow Abraham
to have Ishmael with Hagar, it hurt her that she couldn't
be the mother to his children. When she finally did
give birth to Isaac (Yitzhak), she felt better, but
Ishmael was a reminder that she had been barren and
not the sole mother to Abraham's children. She wanted
to banish this from her midst so it would not remind
her. She did so out of competition, and wanting to be
special, unique, the only one. One might say it was
also arrogance, because Hagar was just a slavewoman,
insignificant. This error of separation and arrogance
toward the Arabs is still being perpetuated amongst
many Jewish people, that is why the Hebrew is mis-translated,
because translating properly requires a very deep examination
of this issue and error of the wondeful Matriarch Sarah.
The
conflict between the Arabs and the Jews in the Middle
East and elsewhere in the world is a final healing of
this ancient rift and issue between the two peoples.
In Israel, the Arabs are represented by the Palestinians.
It
is one of the weakest points of the Arabic people to
be treated without respect and many often become irrationally
upset when they are treated without respect. Some have
chosen violence to express their anger. This is seen
more commonly in Muslims because Islam has a more welcoming
view on violence than Christianity. Since the Jewish
people often treat the Arabic people without respect,
the Arabs desire to destroy the Jews, as a means of
retribution for the ancient pattern of exclusion and
belittling that has occurred. Violence is not an acceptable
response and the Arabic people must also look within
themselves to understand why being treated without respect
is such a sensitive issue for them. The Arabic people
must also stop teaching hatred to their children and
be honest about the events in the Middle East, depicting
with utmost integrity and honesty what is really happening.
This
is also a "chicken and the egg phenomenon,"
which is one of the reasons why it is such a difficult
conflict to resolve. Because, from the Jewish perspective,
the Arabs threaten the Jewish existence and behave like
animals, having no value for human life. This is the
most sensitive issue for the Jews: feeling threatened
in one's home and existence. This makes the Jewish people
fear the Arabs, separate themselves from the Arabs,
and also look down at them. Then the Israelis treat
the Arabs without respect, which further infuriates
the Arabs, making them want to destroy the Jewish people.
This can be an endless cycle of violence.
What
is necessary at this point is to embrace the philosophy
of the Fourth Letter. May Jews and Arabs look upon each
other as brothers and sisters, forgive each other, forgive
themselves, forget who started it, who did what, who
hurt who more, and treat each other with respect and
kindness.
"We
wish you to know this: as it is here, it is also above.
Therefore we now link with you in meditation: To bring
about peace, balance, harmony, and removal of fear and
hatred. For the Hoovids (Hebrews/Jews) to accept their
true purpose. For the Jews not to have fear of loving
again in joy and trust. And to remove the hatred of
the Ishmaels. For the Ishmaels to forgive their journey
in the desert, to forgive the Jews, to forgive Sarah
and Abraham. That the Jews and Ishmaels may be true
brothers." The Only Planet of Choice, p. 181
The
Jewish people have a role, a purpose to fulfill, which
the World really needs. This role will be carried out
with all light workers and healers of the planet who
are not Jewish, and who resonate with the deepest calling
of the Jew and the purpose of the Jewish people; to
heal the World - which is a Universal calling of the
Heart.
Now,
the Jewish people are not fulfilling this role as a
people, being preoccupied with their fear of security
and the survival of their people. This is a very deep
fear. Once their fear is released, they will be more
capable of loving their brothers and sisters of the
nation of Ishmael, which will help dissipate the hatred
within the Ishmaels. The Jewish people must take responsibility
for releasing their fear, and the rest of the world
can really help the Jewish people heal by not taking
sides against them, and by helping them feel welcome,
loved, and accepted in the rest of the world.
As
people of our World recognize the truth about what the
heart of Jewish is capable of, and how important it
is that they activate their true natures at this time,
it will really help the Jews fulfill their destiny and
purpose for being created, which they have held onto
for thousands of years and yet never fully accomplished.
That potential energy of the Jewish people, which has
been bottled up, once released, will release the whole
planet, as it is a strong and ancient force that confines
the growth of our world into the AllGood of the return
to Eden and Universal Utopia. On the other side of the
release is the true nature of the Jewish people, the
heart of the Second
Letter, and the Fourth
Circle.
"Those
of the nation of Israel came to Planet Earth many thousands
of your years ago. They came to evolve your planet Earth,
and in their genetics they know their choosing, and
they relate closely to the Creator, for the memory is
coming from their innermost. But what this actually
means is that they have a great responsibility, for
they have an ability to elevate Planet Earth into a
collective consciousness that may bring all people into
their proper places, so that Planet Earth may then fulfill
unity in the Universe. They are a people that have great
energies, that have great ability in their genetics.
The nation of Israel has within it powers that can release
in humankind all that is buried, all that may be brought
forth into Light." The Only Planet of Choice, p.
175, 176
