From Shin To Shin, The Beginning And The End
How we can think about Judaism without thinking about Shin. Among all the letters of consciousness no other letter is representing Judaism and Jewish ontology more than Shin.
From the root שמ״ע (Shin - Mem - Ayin, Hearing ) all the way to של״ם (Shin - Lamed - Mim, Completeness, Peace, Health...) , the whole beauties of Torah, Gospels and Quran are encapsulated. These two Shins capture the whole Abrahamic consciousness. Between these two Shins is the journey of the soul.
This is the journey from Consciousness to the Lover and Kindness, to the completeness and peace, the mission that mankind needs to fulfill.
שמע is the beginning of the journey of consciousness. The ultimate level of consciousness is to see the existence of the creator by the eyes of the heart in a universe of the eyes of the head, more than three thousand years ago a message was brought out and since then it became the declaration of consciousness
$$$Verse original= שְׁמַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶחָֽד translation= Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone location=Deuteronomy 6:4 direction=rtl$$$
Now, this journey continues all the way toward completeness which I insist the ultimate form of it will manifest itself in love and kindness toward others, an essential metric for completeness. As rabbi Hillel said to a gentile seeking to convert to Judaism, $$$Verse original= דַּעֲלָךְ סְנֵי לְחַבְרָךְ לָא תַּעֲבֵיד — זוֹ הִיא כׇּל הַתּוֹרָה כּוּלָּהּ, וְאִידַּךְ פֵּירוּשָׁהּ הוּא, זִיל גְּמוֹר. translation=which is hateful to you do not do to another; that is the entire Torah, and the rest is its interpretation. Go study. location=Shabbat 31a direction=rtl$$$
When it comes to the love and kindness there is one son of man standing out, his light is as bright as his Jewish consciousness, if we want to pick a word representing the whole Greek Bible, that word cannot be anything except Love! Jesus (PBUH) is the ultimate manifestation of love and kindness. This is when consciousness finally reaches its destination and purpose. This verse from Greek Bible is holding the definition of love according to teachings of Jesus,
$$$Verse original=καὶ εἰ ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστίν; καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτοὺς ἀγαπῶσιν. translation=If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. location=Luke 6:32 direction=ltr$$$
Definitely it doesn't have anything to do with chemical love; it is a love which is built upon consciousness.
Last but not least we reach the Quranic masterpiece of this journey, maybe one verse is enough to enjoy this party of Abrahamic Consciousness, a masterpiece of conversation between angels and God which is captured by a conscious soul and we can read it today,
$$$Verse original= وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ ۖ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ translation= (Remember) when thy Lord said to the angels, "I am setting in the earth a viceroy." They said, 'wilt Thou set therein one who will do corruption there, and shed blood, while We proclaim Thy praise and call Thee Holy?' He said, "Assuredly I know that you know not." location=Quran 2:30 direction=rtl $$$
Now, a metric is visible in this verse, we are going to prove angels are wrong, what solution exists to stop abomination, hate and bloodshed, except love and kindness? Of course the kind of love and kindness that we heard from Jesus, Peace Be Upon Him.
