"The Cylindric Hinge." From the Book of Jeremiah 26: 20-24.
The Trial of Jeremiah concludes:
20 (There was another man, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim, who spoke in the name of the Lord against this city and nation just as Jeremiah did.
21 When King Jehoiakim and his soldiers and officials heard what Uriah had said, the king tried to have him killed. But Uriah heard about it; so he fled in terror and escaped to Egypt.
22 King Jehoiakim, however, sent Elnathan son of Achbor and some other men to Egypt to get Uriah. 23 They brought him back to King Jehoiakim, who had him killed and his body thrown into the public burial ground.)
24 But because I had the support of Ahikam son of Shaphan, I was not handed over to the people and killed.

The Values in Gematria are:
v. 20: There was another man. Anytime "another" crops up it means there is another aspect of God we need to search for inside the Self. The number of Names in Jewish is plentiful so we must obviously do a lot of searching. The Number is 8160, ףאס, fez, "the pass."
v. 21: He fled in terror. The Number is ףחה, ephcha, "the Epoch."
= the agent of one's own evolution.
"The noun αιων (aion) means life-span, age or epoch. It is the source of our English words age and eon, and ultimately stems from the Proto-Indo-European root "heyu-" meaning the same.
Our noun appears to describe any length of clearly defined span of time, whether one person's life or some era of certain renown. As general point of referral, this word may also apply to the vast span of history: the ages, the times of old.
Note that the Greeks also applied this word to the spinal marrow, which appears to suggest that they saw society as much based on social evolution as a human being on his spinal cord. To the Greeks, time wasn't merely the stage upon which all things unfolded. Instead they realized that time is an inherent and fundamental quality of the universe that doesn't exist separate from it (something moderns didn't know until Einstein). They personified abounded but cyclical time, or "the ages" as the deity Aion and associated him with a coiling snake that often ate its own tail or else curled along a spoke or spine."
v. 22-23: They sent men to get him. Whether virtually or in reality, if another person is enslaved to a stupid thing or a stupid man or government, God says it is our religious duty to free him. Foul, nasty, and disgusting people have too much influence over this world. They are violent, corrupt, debased, completely fruitless.
How is it trash lines the bottoms of the rivers and the oceans? Why are the temperatures rising? Why can't you obey the laws and do something about Donald Trump and the Kremlin and all that shit in Rome, North Korea and South America? Do you think the angels are going to drop out of heaven and do it for you? Do you know the Seven Laws ,the Ten Commandments and the Hillels? Are you practicing them?
If you knew a thing about any of these you would understand why the world is trapped in Egypt, at the mercy of a bunch of boy fucking drug addicts who do not know God nor how to govern a planet like this.
The Number is 10937, קטלז, "slaughter the cattle."
We cannot just follow the leader like cows, you know where all of them end up.
v. 24: But I was not handed over. The Number is 4605, דסה, dasha, "the grass lawn, the herbiage."
"In Hebrew, "dasha" (דָּשָׁא) means "to sprout, shoot, or grow green". The verb has two forms: the Qal (simple active) form "to sprout" or "to grow green" and the Hiphil (causative) form "to cause to sprout" or "to cause to shoot forth"**. The related noun, הדס (hadash), refers to the myrtle tree, which is symbolically associated with peace, love, and prosperity. The name Hadassah is a feminine form derived from this word, meaning "myrtle".
A Hadassah is a person who is free to pursue the activities defined by the law and those which have prepared the intellect to contend with during instances where there aren't any laws. I don't know if you should be fucked in a sling and tied down into it or if laying on the edge of the bed on top of a paper towel is better for you. The Torah doesn't say. I do know if you are a filthy liar, a heart attack inside another's chest, then no one should go near you, about this, the Torah is clear. The Law stipulates no matter how deeply one inquires into the flesh, one must not steal the light of the stars from another's sky. If you do this, you are unclean, illegal, to be shunned.
The final Gemara is ףאסףחהקטלזדסה, Assaf Hartal-Zaxa, "The collection from the mountains and the hills form a cyclic tide."
This is called Gilead, "a cylindrical hinge" and it is a practice of "persons of nobility who rule the age in their own heads."
Humans operate based on calendars. We cannot detect our gradual change or evolution with the changes of seasons, observation of certain holidays and life events like birthdays, anniveraries, tax day, Christmas etc. The goal of the study of Torah is to be able to look back and feel as if time is being good to us as a direct result of our ability to look, feel, think, and better monetize our efforts.
The human race is not doing such a good job of performin in Gilead. Things are extra shitty because one of our life events, called an election resulted in illegal proceedings and no one did a thing about it. Wars erupted, the economy is ailing, the environment is screaming out in agony. All of our old demons, like homophobia, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, pedophilia, drug addiction, racism, etc. were hauled out of mothballs and are now running amok. It is a waste of time to pine and whine over this now, all we can do is budget and manage using the "cylindrical hinge" and be as determined as we need to be to realize, next year this time, things got better not worse.
That being said, somebody with A SPINE should do something.
