The dark shadow emerges from the deep. It does not look attached but seems to move snakelike on its own, liberated and unconnected to the body. Why does the shadow flow as a dark and essential force, as an unknown unconscious element in each of us? The shadow is the center, the core and of primary importance. Why do we choose not to remember it?
Connected to this shadow and underneath lies the Torah. Above rests the Rabbi’s hand as he makes the priestly blessing – two fingers together, space, and two fingers closed. Suddenly, a magnetic field, an invisible force, seems to pull from the black letters on the Torah page. Through the shadow and up to the hand, electrical current flows downward, then back, then upward and down, again and again, as the hand remains still.
More revelation is revealed. In the lower left hand corner, above the scroll knob, the unwrapped Torah emanates an illuminating light. Alchemy emerges. Light coming not from a flash or an outer directed light but from a hidden inner one, bursts forth from inside demanding to be seen, mysterious and luminous.
This unattached shadow, illuminated light and magnetic field all form a reality that is powerful, humbling, and utterly undeniable.
