-The following introduction can enable the student of Moroccan Zohar language, to become familiar with the fundamental notions of ‘Face to Face’ and ‘Back to Back’.“Those two: who become all times and all spaces…”
-‘Face To Face’
is the moment when you get to see:
The other is you.
‘Back to Back’
Is when you think
You’re all alone.
‘Face to Face’
Everything is New In you.
‘Back to Back’
The surprise-less becomes your home,
Even with others.
Yet, ‘Face to Face’
Drives All processes,
Even those
Of ‘Back to Back’.
For without a ‘Face’ There is no such thing
As ‘Back’:
Without Future,
No such thing as Past.
“If He had not said
Yehi, it shall be,
There would be no
VaYehi, it was.”
‘Face to Face’ is
Where the future is remembered,
‘Back to Back’ is
where the future is forgotten.
Rahamim, compassion, is remembrance of the future, even about the past.
Din, judgement, is remembrance of the past, even about the future.
The mind which is in a state of fear, thinks and speaks words of ‘Back to Back’.
The mind which is compassionate to the other, only thinks and speaks words that shine forward, words that smile, words of ‘Face to Face’.
“Like water
The Face to the Face
So is Man’s heart
To Man…”
(Prob. 27:19)
