Why We Study

by Miykael Qorbanyahu

For from ancient generations Mosheh has, in every city, those proclaiming him – being read in the congregations every Sabbath.
Acts 15.23

Perspective.

Everything is perspective.

When I say everything is perspective what I mean is that the perception of reality is based on acquiring an objective and holistic view of existence which allows everything that exists to be perceived properly, proportionately, purposefully and pragmatically…for a people.

For people, pragmatix determines the viability, or value of the perspective in consideration and its ability to bring into existence the ethics, ideas and principles of said people for its perpetual security in existence.

The heights of pragmatix is expressed in the form of orthopraxy, or the practice of proper decision making and behavior.

There are standards.

There are consequences.

There is reality,

There is illusion.

There is truth.

There is falsehood.

There is innocence.

There is guilt.

There is light.

There is darkness.

There is heaven.

There is earth.

There is life.

There is death.

There is oneness.

There is nothing.

Nothing that exists is outside the will of YaH.

Everything outside of the Will of YaH is nothing and does not exist.

The will of YaH is the source of existence and is found in the words of Torah which contain the ethics, ideas and principles of YaH.

Everything we experience in reality is based on the practice of our ethics, ideas and principles of Torah in action.

When our thoughts, words and actions are in alignment with the ethics, ideas and principles of YaH, we are then being orthopraxical.

Orthopraxy is the result of an activated orthodoxy that yields the fruit of holiness, love, truth, justice, mercy, beauty, righteousness, peace, and oneness.

The goal of existence is oneness and oneness is Messianic.

Therefore the oneness of Messiah is the goal of existence.

In a moment of fervent prayer, the Messiah offered supplication and said

I in them, and You in Me, so that they might be perfected into one, so that the world knows that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

John 17.23

This is everything; everything is oneness.

Oneness, or unity, is reconciliation.

Unity ensues after being forgiven of debts and forgiving our debtors which is reconciliation.

Reconciliation is the result of exercising the favorable gift of forgiveness for the thoughts and deeds we, or others, have carried out in ignorance…and willfully.

This is the orthopraxy of favor, or what we more commonly know as grace.

Favor is what manifests unity by affording us time to balance equations and establish equilibrium.

Equilibrium is the outcome of our wholehearted devotion to YaH with clear conscience and healed soul on purpose desiring to give to others what we have received from YaH.

For Elohim so loved the world that he gave His uniquely begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3.16

Enter the Torah’s instructions on how to love YaH with all of our heart, soul and strength. and to love our neighbor as ourselves so that we might have everlasting life.

The instructions of the Torah stand as the standard of creation and the creature conscious of its connection to the Creator’s purpose.

When applied appropriately, Torah culture is a holistic pragmatic expression of the ethics, ideas and principles of YaH to be applied for the purpose of resurrecting Edenic consciousness.

Edenic consciousness is typified by the awareness of the Torah’s instructions in a relevant, practical and applicable manner for righteousness and continuity of life.

The ability to carry out the instructions of Torah is accomplished by a mindset intent on aligning one’s will with the Will of YaH.

Duality, however, is our dilemma.

Ego, unrestrained, is our adversary.

A mind driven by selfish interest is counterproductive to the message and mission of the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the Will of YaH.

A mind not governed by the Will of YaH is in enmity with the Spirit.

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.
Romans 8.6

To illustrate this, the prophet Isaiah clearly articulated that there is a difference in the way that Israel thought and behaved in light of the thoughts and ways of our Elohim:

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares יהוה.“For as
the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My
thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55.8-9

This is why we study.

We study to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

We study to circumcise our hearts.

We study to have the Torah written on our mind and put in our heart.

We study to incarnate the Word of Torah in our flesh.

We study to receive the mind of the Messiah.

We study to learn the thoughts and ways of Elohim.

We study to reflect the image and likeness of Elohim.

We study to manifest the oneness of YaH, as it is written in Deuteronomy 6.4:

YaH is our Elohim.

YaH is one.

We study to become one with YaH.

Selah.
