How to love and understand your ancestors when you dont know them? | Thich Nhat Hanh
The Wisdom of knowing how to connect with all of our Ancestors - and all of our Descendants - is the Wisdom we must all know.
But
is it not enough to go back to the generation of Buddah or Moses or
Yeshu, or whoever your physical and spiritual ancestors are. We have to
go back to the Generation of Adam Kadmon, HaAdam HaRishon - The First.
This is why I keep putting up substitution values of Adam Kadmon.
When
we realize that we are Adam Kadmon, we have reached the level of
experiencing ourselves as God becoming Human, not making Man, as has
been wrongly translated, but becoming Humanity.
If
a Jew can connect with Yeshu, not as the Christians do, but as a Cousin
we misinterpreted Torah as we all have until we learn better, we can
forgive him.
The
error of the Rabbis is that they only go back to the time of the
P'rushim. We have to go back within ourselves, connect with Adam Kadmon
and know that we are Adam Kadmon.
When
we read the story of Adam and Chava, we are not reading about them. We
are reading about ourselves. Read very carefully, until you see no sin
there whatsoever.
