according to Kabala and the inner
meaning of the Torah plague of locusts
arb has the numerical value gimatria of
zar stranger with the coal inclusive
count this means that the locust
represents the covering of the eye of
the
landinit the word arbe is related to
harb many symbolizing a multitude of
details that obscure the general
principle the inner
essence the plague of locusts comes to
reveal to a person the distortions of
the kipa spiritual shell within so that
he may correct them for the Egyptian
this plague was suffering but for the
Israelite within a person it was a
rectification similar to how the wicked
are sealed for death on Rash Hashana and
Yom Kapoor that is a person must put to
death the wicked elements within him so
that the righteous parts of his soul may
be sealed for life who are the wicked
within a person they are his selfish
desires the desires to receive for
oneself alone when a person builds his
entire Torah and mitzvot upon
self-interest whether for
material pleasure in this world or in
the world to
come whether for acquiring more wealth
rather than for purifying his desire to
receive and aligning it with the creator
then he is struck by the plague of
locusts what does the locust plague do
it destroys all crops all produce and
all fields from the term man of the
field everything that man built
externally the locust is a correction
against the sphere of understanding all
growth all depths everything man built
the locust has a big appetite against
man's appetite for external possessions
in Torah and commandments instead of
working on inner spirituality love of
others God and man others from the term
cheap your friend from the term bad as
the true eye the secret of the palm of
eye man has locusts when he has an
endless appetite he is never satisfied
with Torah and commandments becomes
stricter and stricter but forgets about
the inner point about the soul therefore
here comes the plague of locusts and
eats all his Torah commandments all his
understandings in Torah and commandments
all his greatness to force him to
rebuild everything on a foundation of
contemplation in awe of elevation in the
greatness of the creator for the
Egyptian it's a plague why because they
took all his external Torah and
commandments showed him they are just
external a commandment without intention
is like a body without a soul but if man
connects to his inner Israeli to his
Hebrew that sees beyond matter aspect of
crossing the Jordan sees beyond descent
then in such a state they actually
acquire faith acquire the power of
understanding contemplation power of
imagination to reach form equivalence
and then this appetite instead of eating
and destroying everything on the
contrary it magnifies the vision of the
king may we merit to break the
distortion break the shells and all this
multiplication of external
intellect in Torah and commandments and
external Torah study like artificial
intelligence will turn for us into a
plague of
locusts which is against understanding
that shows us that wisdom without
kindness cannot exist and then we will
rebuild in the aspect of bread of
laziness you shall not eat all the crop
and produce of the field return and put
faith in it amen and amen plague of
darkness chukma wisdom the distortion a
person reaches the pinnacle of material
achievements but feels a deep
emptiness the spiritual darkness there
is great light but the person cannot
perceive it the correction to realize
that true light comes from connecting to
divinity not materialism plague of the
firstborn keater crown the distortion
absolute egoism where a person views
themselves as the center of everything
leading to disconnection from the source
of life the consequence this egoism
leads to existential despair the
correction to recognize that everything
belongs to the creator to surrender
oneself out of love rather than despair
the 10
plagues as a spiritual process the 10
plagues represent a spiritual journey
designed to free a person from the
confines of their inner Egypt a
materialistic mindset toward a spiritual
divine consciousness each plague exposes
an internal
distortion and offers an opportunity for
correction and growth the path to
leaving Egypt lies in connecting to the
inner Israel transforming the plagues
into tools for building faith and
spiritual elevation i am the rabbi known
