A Preview: A Tale of Two Regions: (Eretz Yisrael and California)

Updates Below:

This was going to be a post about a tale of two cities Yerushalayim and San Francisco, but I decided to make it a bit more regional at least at first because the Santa Ana winds (a dry East wind) which will be discussed in the post really blow over Southern California and not so much over Northern California.  Santa Ana is a Spanish slur word for Satanic or Devil Wind, and it for the most part blows in the Fall.  Let that stew in your head.  And Eretz Yisrael's version of the East Wind is called the Chamsin which means "50 Days", and that Wind blows between Pesach and Shavuot here.  For now we will leave that point to discuss the intro. to a more monumental post about the Gateway to the 50th level of purity vs. the Gateway through the 49th level of impurity.  In both ways, the World stands, as of now after Shavu'ot 5775, at both Gateways.  We are now in the 49th Summer since and including the 6 Day War and the Real large scale beginning of the Ba'al Teshuvah movement which began just before Shavuot in the 1967 (5727) right after the 6 Day War.  We are also entering the 49th year since and including the Summer of Sexual Promiscuity (Zimah in Hebrew) which swept America and the Western World from its starting point in San Francisco, California, also in 1967.

This post about San Francisco vs. Yerushalayim, a Tale of Two Cities will take awhile.  I am starting on it today.  Please be patient with me.  It is a monumental post I believe, to talk about the four "elements" in nature from the perspective of Qedushah vs. Mem Tet Sha'arei Tumah.  Just some advance hints:  The Four elements (earth, water, wind, and fire) really are not elements at all.  They are the four physical states of matter (solids, liquids, gases, and plasma), and there are only two places on the Globe which geographically reflect the direction from which these "elements" or physical states of matter spiritually come.  We learn from the Torah that the Menorah (fire) is in the South (of the Mishkan) while the Shulchan lechem hapanim (earth since bread is brought forth from the earth) is in the North.  The Torah (water) is in the Holy of Holies which is in the West, and the incense (air) is placed on a golden altar in the East.  From the Torah's perspective these four elements come from the Yud Key Vav Key, the Holiest of Holy Names of G-d.  In the Torah the Yud is connected to the aravot (willow branches) amongst the four species which controls the sources of water in the world.  The first Hey is connected to the lulav (date palm) amongst the four species which controls the sources of fire in the world including representing the wisdom of a Talmud Chacham such as Yonatan ben Uziel who used to burn birds with fire if they flew over his head while learning Torah.  The Vav is connected to the Hadassim (myrtle) branches which have a fragrance but no taste.  They therefore control the sources of Air in the world.  And the Final Hey is connected to the Etrog (the fruit which tastes like the bark of the same etrog tree) which controls the sources of dirt or earth in the world because the etrog tree is the only tree that grew in the way that G-d commanded the dirt of the world which was to grow trees whose fruit tasted like its bark (See Bereishit 1 dealing with the 2nd Statement for the 3rd day of Creation when G-d commanded the earth to bear forth fruit-bearing trees bearing fruit.)

When G-d created the world, he also made a mirror world for the Kochot HaTumah (Powers of Impurity).  If He had not done so, there would be no free will.  So the mirror world of Evil has to parallel the World of Qedushah.  What is intriguing is to delve into is that there are only two places on the entire planet where the Geography matches the directions of the compass from which the Four States of Matter (Elements) manifest themselves in the World.
So where in the world is there....1. a fiery desert attached to the deserts of the world in the South?

2. arable agricultural land in the North? ...
3. A Great Sea or Ocean to the West ?.... and
4. a Dry wind that blows in the springtime or the Fall from the East???

We thank G-d that here in Eretz Yisrael the Eye of HaShem rests on the Land of Israel all year round, for if His Eye did not, the four forces for Evil in the world would surely inundate us here in Eretz HaQodesh.  But alas there is one place on the planet where the Eye of HaShem does not rest all year round, and it is a place filled with taivah (lust) of the heart, taivah (lust) of the eyes,  Seichel (intellectual thought) not attached to qedushah, and the essence of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil itself which expresses itself in gaivah (arrogance), in short, all four forces for evil in the world.  Take a guess where that place is?  Think of the State and not just one of its cities.

Update #1:  We have a dispute on this post that the name Santa Ana which describes the hot, east winds in the Fall which blow through Southern California may or may not etymologically be derived from "Satanic" winds as described in the post and in my first comment on this post, or the name may be derived from Saint Anne, the mother OF the mother OF the Xtian mangod.  In Spanish her name would be Santa Ana.  In Hebrew her name would simply be Channah, lehavdil.  I stick by my research that the name was originally derived from an older Native American word for Satanic or Devilish.  The Spanish then translated the older Indian name into "the Satanic Winds" before The Roman Church changed it to Santa Ana.  Yet, there are a lot of Catholics in Southern California, and they in my estimation cleaned up the pagan origin of the name of that East wind.  This is a constant in Roman Catholic history.  They take a pagan holiday or concept, adopt it, put lipstick, rouge, and eyeliner on the pig, and pronounce it kosher.   They even have a story that St. Anne immaculately conceived St. Mary who immaculately conceived Yoshke.  So one human woman conceives a demigoddess who conceives a god.  I am sorry.  I am not cleaning up the Catholic Church's messes anymore especially after what I heard confidentially went on at King David's tomb on the Greek Pentecost this past Sunday from a reliable source.  Hint:  There were no Greeks at the tomb on Sunday, their supposed Pentecost.  They, the Greeks, were forced by the Catholics to have a little shindig for Shacharit on Monday.   The Catholics had their own ghastly ceremony at the tomb on Sunday.  I can't say anymore about this until details are verified.  So on this blog the name Santa Ana Winds has a pagan origin, and they the Catholics cleaned up the name and made it into the mother OF the mother OF their god......Nice....no, not so nice.   

more in progress, probably to be an even longer post
