Third Cup of Wine - Atziluth (Spirit/Emanation Consciousness)

The highest field, the dimension beyond spacetime, where beingness is completely unified, where there is no illusion of separateness. Kabbalists refer to Atziluth as the "Godhead." This is the Complete Divine Unity which contains the potential for our entire universe. This is what existed before the cosmological Big Bang, prior to the shattering shards of the Divine Source that became materiality, prior to subatomic vibration that creates the illusion of matter and separateness.

As we drink the fourth cup of wine and join our voices in song, we are manifesting the capacity for peace, unity, and collective liberation. Through unconditional self-acceptance, we are able to experience ourselves and each other as Emanations of the Divine. As the illusion of separation melts away, we presence ourselves with the truth of our Wholeness. In our reaching and seeking, we are also yielding to the inevitable Cosmic flow towards Liberation.

Lift up your glass.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p’ree hagafen.

A toast: in the Presence of the Infinite, we savor the blessing of transformation: vine to wine.

If anyone would like to share their own toast, please unmute and do so. Otherwise, go ahead and drink the third glass of wine/grape juice/etc.!
