PRESENCE WITHIN BOUNDARIES - day 14 MALCHUT sh b’GEVURAH

PSALMS OF MY SOUL

ספירת העומר

Kabbalistic Sephirat HaOmer
Malchut sh b'Gevura - day 14, 2 weeks of Omer

FULL PRESENCE WITHIN BOUNDARIES
http://sephirathaomer.blogspot.com 

The inner emotion of Malchut sh b'Gevurah is the mystical awe of Divinity. 
From that blossoms absolute appreciation of G*d's beauty on earth.

Malchut is mastery of all my midot / attributes in my spirit infused world.

Do I offer proper nourishment, and cultivate and strengthen all that needs to grow into Malchut? In Gevurah is pruning needed? Is there enough space, sunshine, balance, love, care?

Clivia flowers like the tree's fig come once each year.  Clivia appears in its Malchut, fullness and soon disappears on its one strong stem.  Fig keeps growing and coming, even past frost time. Like Torah, Fig keeps offering itself, wanting to give and give, but then there are limitations/Gevuah of the season. There may be figs on the branches I prune to give away in winter on Tu b'Shvat, but those figs do not ripen.

What is the blemish I am deleting, to rectify and purify for Shavuot? 
The weakness in Gevurah/discipline, and not being in joy, myself, in all that I can be. 
I cross boundaries when needed–try to flow through all midot, all Sephirot to succeed, and try not to limit myself where freedom is required. 

For this Omer site, I am trying very hard to be consistent in the labeling of Sephirot posts.
Some are, some are not, but in Malchut sh b'Gevurah, I really do try.


I try to reveal G*D in Malchut in offering the phenomenal face of flowers and figs.
These are the Face of G*d.

Did I say how MAMASH EXCITED I am to see these figs and flowers?!
From meditation and flow to Malchut experience of joy!

Feels like full Gevurah / strength holding all over Sephirot.
