The Birth of Abraham inside you

[Ms Tercy Lonan]

THE BIRTH OF ABRAHAM INSIDE YOU
The birth of Abraham is the inner revolution that takes
place in Terah. It is the actual method of fulfilling Nimrod.
This event symbolizes the fact that it is impossible to fulfill
yourself as before at the new degree of the growing ego.
The method of fulfillment itself needs drastic change. This
revolution is known as Abraham.
So Terah begets Abraham to completely revamp the
method of fulfilling his ego, the Nimrod in him.
One morning, Nimrod’s astrologists request an audience
with him once again. “The threat has not been neutralized,
oh, King! We have observed above Terah’s house a star,
dashing about the firmament in all directions. It devoured
four stars to the east, to the north, to the west and to the
south. This clearly points to Terah’s new son, who will
conquer your kingdom!”

The “star, dashing about the firmament” inside you is
the sign that Abraham stands for bestowal. It is the change
from an egoistic intention to one of complete bestowal.
From this day forward, the method of Abraham will rule
over all four phases of the ego’s development, meaning
over all of your desires.

“…a star, dashing about the firmament in all directions.
It devoured four stars to the east, to the north, to the west,
and to the south.” From the moment Abraham is born,
deep within the bowels of your ego you begin to realize that
all the things that used to fulfill you before are senseless.
Your possessions no longer satisfy you; life has lost its flavor,
and former pleasures are empty. Frantically, you search for a
way out of this dead end.

This is how a completely new approach (star) is born
within you. It is a new way of fulfilling your desire, a new
method that turns a new page in your life and actualizes all
the new desires created in you (north, south, west, and east).
It is a happy time for you, for a new intention to bestow is
born within you.

The Midrash goes on to say that a boy is born to Terah,
and given the name Abraham. But you already know that
Abraham is born inside you. That is the true and only
meaning of this story.
