When Abram was thrown into the furnace, Haran was killed. This is why they went out of Ur of the Chaldees, and this is why it is written, \u201cIn the presence of his father Terah,\u201d meaning that it caused his departure from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17) \u201cAnd they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees.\u201d Should it not have written, \u201cWith Terah\u201d? However, Terah, Lot, Abraham, and Sarah went out because they wanted primarily to come out from among the wicked. After Terah saw that Abraham his son saved him from the furnace, he returned to doing Abraham&#8217;s will, and because of it, Terah and Lot went out with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>18) When they came out, it is written about them, \u201cTo go into the land of Canaan,\u201d since they wished to go there. From here we learn that anyone who comes to be purified is aided. This is why when it writes, \u201cTo go into the land of Canaan,\u201d it promptly writes, \u201cAnd the Lord said unto Abram, \u2018Go forth,\u2019\u201d and before he awakened by himself first, \u201cto go into the land of Canaan,\u201d it does not say, \u201cGo forth.\u201d Thus, one who comes and awakens himself from below is aided from above. But without the awakening from below, there is no awakening from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19) Nothing above awakens if the thing upon which the thing from above is placed does not awaken below first. This is the meaning of the black light in the candle, the Nukva, who does not grip the white light in the candle, ZA, before she awakens first. When she awakens first, the white light immediately comes over her because the lower one must awaken first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>20) This is why it is written, \u201cO God, do not keep silent,\u201d God, do not keep quiet or still, so that the white light will never cease from the world. God is the Nukva, a black light, and if you do not keep silent and do not rest from awakening from below, the white light, ZA, will always be gripping her from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also written, \u201cYou who remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves,\u201d to awaken below that upon which the awakening above will be. And also, when man awakens the awakening from below first, the awakening from above awakens upon him. For this reason, since it is written, \u201cAnd they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees to go into the land of Canaan,\u201d it means that they made an awakening from below. Promptly, \u201cAnd the Lord said unto Abram\u201d that He would be assisted from above. This is so because there must be a crude thing below where the light can grip, and that crude thing depends entirely upon the lower one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16) \u201cAnd Haran died in the presence of his father Terah.\u201d \u201cIn the presence\u201d means when his father was alive.
