Wow! I got stuck this AM
losing track of which day
it is of the Omer Count,
the Kabbalistic Tune Up
you and I can do now
to get in Sync with our
various "Chakra-Type"
Soul connect spaces
that the Mystic Jews
call Sephirot.
The Essenes
ala Edmond Bordeaux
Szekely tie the
the Sepirot--these "chakra-like" spots in with
Angels for the different
days of the week.
I did some research
on the web and feel into
a never-never land of
incredible hip Jewish Feminists
and a lovely clever Homer Simpson
web site that has be laughing outloud.
This Homer metaphor ties in brilliantly
with my project to grow literally Barley,
the original practice when the Jewish people
had the Holy Temple in the days of Old.
I sense, that in returning to the Jewish people
their Barley growing practice, the Temple
will be restored.
THe Temple is our body in these Times.
In Jewish Prophesy it is said that
first comes the Messiah, and then the Rebuilding
of what they imagine as a literal Temple.
I see it like this:
First comes an deeper understanding understanding
of our self through an authentic reconnect with the garden.
2. Comes a deeper understanding between men and women
because we have used The Seven Love Cures and are now
gardening our health.
3. Then comes the a fuller experience of health through doing
things like the Omer Kabbalistic Practice. This restores
the body...
4. Then comes the uplifting of each of us to allow the Messiah
to come.
5. Then who know...its party time.
Of course, as an Essene, I also enjoy the aspects of the Christ
Mythos, although not in the conventional Christian sense.
I believe
Counting H'omer

Lis Riba points us to a wonderful site to help keep track of our omer counting. We (Jews) count each night between the Festival of Matzah, Pesach, and the Festival of Weeks, Shavuot (See Leviticus 23:15). The hebrew word for the sheaf mentioned in this counting is omer, or with the definite article ha'omer hence the play on words.

About Counting the Omer
from: http://jvibe.com/homer/Welcome.html
n the second day of Passover in ancient times, our ancestors brought the first sheaf of barley (amounting to a measure called "an omer") reaped that season as an offering to God. From that day, they began counting the 49 days to Shavuot, when they would celebrate the beginning of the wheat harvest by offering the loaves made of the first wheat. Even after the Temple was destroyed and offerings were no longer brought, they continued to count the days from Passover to Shavuot in accordance with the biblical injunction (Lev. 23:15).
In this way our ancestors linked Passover and Shavuot as occasions for thanking God for the fruits of the field. We, too, thank God for the renewal of life which nature proclaims at this season.
However, as Passover and Shavuot acquired historical significance, their linkage through the counting of the intervening days took on new meaning. Passover celebrates the liberation from Egypt, and Shavuot celebrates the receiving of Torah at Sinai. By counting the omer, we symbolically connect liberation with the idea of Torah.
Counting the omer is an exercise in the discipline of mindfulness. Counting each of the days of the omer reminds us that all of our days are numbered, and it is our responsibility to make each day count.
