The Second Law of Thermodynamics 2

.
This post is an extension from that post.

So, using the Esther story because it seems like a concentrated & sped up version of the other Biblical recountings...

Remember the beginning of the story:

1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus--this is Ahasuerus who reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces--

....
5 And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the castle, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;

King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) decided to have a feast. Everyone was encouraged to participate. King Xerxes being not Jewish was serving unkosher food, but the Jews participated in it anyway. This would eventually be the link to their unstable condition -because this shows already a weakness in holding on to their principles.

What was the basis for their fear? Look at what happened to Vashti, the Queen no less! She was made to part with her head!! Nevertheless, it was required that the Jews hold fast --which they didn't.

Fast forward to a different part of the story. Haman plotted to destroy them and got the okay from the King. So something had to be done quickly to ameliorate the situation.

Queen Esther, the new queen, calls on a three day fast by her people. The energy begins to change. The 2nd law of thermodynamics is in the works.

Now for the turbine:

"...Esther put on her royal apparel..."

The garment and royalty.

In kabbalah, clothing represents a "force field" a protection for the inner person and "his wife" or malchut or his mission -however you want to phrase it. It is also described as a representative of "chashmal" a "surrounding glow" (modern Hebrew translates chashmal as "electricity"). Basically its the protector of a person's inner strength.

This is why we stress that a person not be seen with torn clothes or stained clothes. Its representative of that person's inner strength not being protected, or a sign of vulnerability.

So, she picked up a shield. Let's continue...

"...So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre..."

The sceptre is the king's sceptre: Basically, she comes before God /King. The trick about this story is that at times when they say "King" one doesn't know if they mean King Xerxes or the King of Kings. Let's continue...

"And Esther said: 'If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him...."

She attempts to REVERSE the state of affairs. This requires intelligence. The ability to see where the source of a problem began, so that one can rectify it. She knew that it was because they had succumbed to pressure and went to the feast of the king that caused them to be in this predicament, so now Queen Esther is reversing the role. Now she's having a banquet. She's the one in charge, She's the one creating and enforcing something. She's doing it on her own terms -kosher. BW take heed.

"...Then the king said: 'Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said...."

(Book of Esther 5:5)

See the quickness that the King (of kings) fulfills the request!

"So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen..."

(B of Esther 7:1)

And it came to pass. Her 'creation' or her "law" was fulfilled.

"Then Esther the queen answered and said: 'If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.." (B of Esther 7:3)

The petition. This is what she wants done: that her life and that of her people should be saved. The end result.

And the rest is history. They get the bad guy, their lives are saved. They renew their devotion to the Torah and to God. Yay! Another holiday is created! Let's eat!!!

So, to review, what is the turbine? My guess is that its a series of acts. 1) good presentation -which translates in the physical world as putting on proper attire. This serves as a shield for the person. 2) the act of repentance. Being honest with one's self at what was done wrong and rectifying it. And 3) being grateful when its all over, and renewing one's principles and path of righteousness.

**UPDATE**
A more general way of putting it is that I think the spiritual turbine would be the movements we do as a result of having prayed, praised, or verbally read and learned some Biblical passage. The aroused movement will God willing cause a great influx of energy and its up to us to use it towards what it is we're yearning for.
