Lamed Vov , The Just Men

I can't believe not even one person has bothered to look at this.

The term " Just Men", means good, pure, terms that are alien to the world today, such a pity.

I believe I know one of these Just Men. He is in truth the most honest, humble servant that I have ever met.

then you are indeed blessed to be in the company of one so pure.
Thanks for the reply, I wish I could know someone like that, but the company I keep seem to be all caught up in the illision we call life.
NAMASTE

Really I was beginning to despair that all the rightous men had vanished from the earth. I prayed and ask The Heavenly Father to show me an honest soul and one that I could even intrust my life with. He did show me. I believe he might even be one of the 144,000 remnant of the House of Israel.

I must tell you that the 1st time I heard about the Lamed Vov was in a book by Deepak Chopra called, Lords of Light, and the sequel, : The Angel is Near", both books sent me on a research quest for many months.

What did you learn in your quest?

Lamed Vov , The Just Men
Quote

That as base as we have become as a people we better pray that there are still the Lamed Vov amongst us, because we are as a whole becoming very wicked Just walk into your local fast food restruant and see how vile people are towars each other, or drive on the freeways and witness the rage that is in the eyes and actions of so many.

I was forced to wonder if 36 would be enough to carry
the weight of mankind and its sorrows. And to worry that one will fall bringing the entire world to a collapse.

Think about these words, " It is said that when a Lamed Vovnik dies and goes up to God, he has carried so much suffering through his compassion, that the Lord God, may his name be praised, sometimes has to hold the soul of the Lamed Vov in his hands for a thousand years to fully heal him. That’s how much they care for the suffering of the world."

At the end of the day it was a very humbling experience, my eyes were opened to my personal short comings and the full knowledge that my choices and lifestyles contribute to the weight that these beautiful souls must carry..

Thanks for answering my question. I feel the same as yourself. I feel so inadequate and so full of my own shortcomings that I sometimes wonder if I'm truly saved.
My prayer is that we'll learn to be alittle more compassionate about others instead of just thinking about our ownselves.

Ecc 1:2 "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all [is] vanity."

... interpretation of the passage. In fact, this passage has the same meaning as "Do work of all kinds with a mind that is void and to the void-ness surrender all of the fruits," which, of course, many Buddhism don't understand either.
The third line of the verse is "Eat the food of void-ness as the holy ones do." Here, some people might ask, "Then, what do we eat?" If everything is void or given away to the void-ness, what will there be to eat? The answer is to eat food that belongs to void-ness, the same way that the Noble Ones do. We work with a void mind and turn all the rewards over to void-ness.

According to the Satapatha Brahmana and Manu, the supreme soul, the self-existent lord, created the waters and deposited in them a seed, which seed became a golden egg, in which he himself was born as Brahma, the progenitor of all the worlds. As the waters (nara) were "the place of his movement, he (Brahma) was called Narayana." Here the name Narayana is referred distinctly to Brahma, but it afterwards became the name of Vishnu.

MANU. [Source: Dowson's Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology] (From the root man, to think.) 'The man.' This name belongs to fourteen mythological progenitors of mankind and rulers of the earth, each of whom holds sway for the period called a Manwantara (manu-antara), the age of a Manu, i.e., a period of no less than 4,320,000 years.

Square One by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Had to find some higher ground.
Had some fear to get around.
You can say what you don't know.
Later on won't work no more.

Last time through I hid my tracks.
So well I could not get back.
Yeah my way was hard to find.
Can't sell your soul for peace of mind.

Square one, my slate is clear.
Rest your head on me my dear.
It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears.
It took a long time to get back here.

Tried so hard to stand alone.
Struggled to see past my nose.
Always had more dogs than bones.
I could never wear those clothes.

It's a dark victory.
You won and you are so lost.
Told us you were satisfied, but it never came across.

Square one, my slate is clear.
Rest your head on me my dear.
It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears.
It took a long time to get back here.

“This Is A Perfect Moment”
by Rob Brezsny

This is a perfect moment.
It’s a perfect moment for many reasons,
but especially because you and I
are waking up from our sleepwalking thumbsucking
dumbclucking collusion with the masters of illusion and destruction.

Thanks to them, from whom the painful blessings flow,
We are waking up.

Thanks to them, from whom the awful teachings ooze,
We are waking up.

Their wars and tortures,
their devils and borders,
extinctions of species
and brand new diseases,
their spying and lying
in the name of the father,
sterilizing seeds and
trademarking water
stealing our dreams and
changing our names,
their brilliant commercials,
their endless rehearsals
for the end of the world.

Thanks to them, from whom the painful blessings flow,
We are waking up.

Thanks to them, from whom the awful teachings ooze,
We are waking up.

Their painful blessings
are cracking open holes
in the sour and puckered
mass hallucination
mistakenly called reality.

News of the soul’s true home
is pouring in,
infiltrating our increasingly lucid
waking dreams.

Wild ripe juicy eternity
is flooding in.

Our allies
from the other side of the veil
are swarming in.
We’re waking up.

And as Heaven and Earth come together,
as the dreamtime and daytime merge,
as paradise and the underworld overlap,
we register the shockingly exhilarating fact
that we are in charge --

you and I are in charge –
of making a brand new world.
Not in some distant time or faraway place,
but right here and right now.

As we stand on this brink,
as we dance on this verge,
we can’t let the ruling fools of the dying world
sustain their curses.

We have to rise up and fight their insane logic;
defy and resist and prevent their tragic magic;
unleash our sacred rage and let them feel it.

But overthrowing the living dead is not enough.
Protesting the well-dressed monsters is not enough.
We can’t afford to be consumed with anger –
can’t be obsessed and possessed with complaint.
Our sweet animal bodies
need to feel rowdy blessings.
Our amazing imaginations
need to thrive on missions
that incite our delight.

We need truths in their wild state,
insurrectionary beauty
that excites our curiosity,
outrageous goodness
that drives us to perform
heroic acts of lusty compassion,
ingenious love
that endlessly transforms us,
tricky freedom
that is never permanent
but must be reinvented and reclaimed every day,
and a totally-serious-yet-always-laughing justice
that schemes and dreams
about how to diminish the suffering
and increase the joy
of every sentient being.

So I’m radically curious, my fellow creators;
I’m seriously delirious:
Since we are in charge
of making a brand New World,
where do we begin?

What truths in their wild state
are we planning to plant
at the heart of our creation?
What stories will be our reminders?
What questions will be our fuel?

Here’s one for you:
In the New World
you will know through and through
that life is crazily in love with you –
life is wildly and innocently in love with you.

In the New World,
you will know beyond a doubt
that thousands of secret helpers are
angling to turn you into
the gorgeous curiosity you were born to be.

But then here’s the loaded question.
The love that life eternally floods you with
has not exactly been unrequited,
but there’s room for you to be more demonstrative.
If life is wildly and innocently in love with you,
are you prepared to start loving life back
the way it loves you?

In the New World, you will.

In the New World,
you will reject paranoia with all of your smart heart.
Instead, you will embrace Pronoia,
which is the opposite of paranoia.
Pronoia is the sneaking suspicion
that the whole living world
is conspiring to shower you with rowdy blessings.
Pronoia is the dawning perception
that life is a conspiracy
to liberate you from ignorance,
and fill you with love,
and make you brilliantly soulful.

My fellow creators,
I want you to know
that I am allergic to dogma.
I don’t trust any idea
that requires me to believe in it absolutely.
There are very few things
about which I am totally certain.

But I am absolutely certain
that Pronoia describes the way the world actually is.
Pronoia is wetter than water,
truer than the facts,
and stronger than death.
It smells like cedar smoke in spring rain,
and if you close your eyes right now,
you can feel it shimmering
in your soft warm animal body
like the aurora borealis.

The sweet stuff that quenches all of your longing
is not far away in some other time and place.
It’s right here and right now.

Earth is crammed with heaven.

BUMP BUMP BUMP!!!

There are some beautiful stories about the lamed vov in David Cooper's book, "God is a Verb."

Do the Lamed Vov or " Just Men" shed this tear ?


LACRIMA MORTIS: THE TEAR OF DEATH

What do you think about what Dr. John Lerma said the other night on C2C about “LACRIMA MORTIS: THE TEAR OF DEATH “ ?

He stated that often patients who are about to die will exhibit a single tear ("lacrima mortis"),
viewed as a kind of final cleansing.


[link to www.coasttocoastam.com]

are they here yet ?, cause we really need a few good people these days..

I could have written this.

Love is truly the most difficult calling.

God bless those who can give it freely.

wow, this seems very prophetic

Many are asking...


[link to www.youtube.com]

in these very perilious times that we find ourselves, we had better hope that the Lamed Vov are still amongst us

is it possible that at least one of the "50" Japaneese who volunteered to work on the Nucular Power plant is one of the " Lamed VoV'..?

They are very brave and willing to give their all for the Greater Good

are we there yet?

The TV Series Touched is using this theme this week about the 36 Just men..

Interesting, very interesting
