Daily Torah study.

There are so many false prophets out there using that term. These are people who really are not prepared to teach. People get a little hit of meditation or learn how to do an ayahuasca ceremony over a few years, and then, somehow, they are out there teaching and running ceremonies. It is a long process before one is ready to teach and take on that responsability. Part of that process is burning up the ego. An aspect of this may include being initiated by a spiritual teacher, who was initiated by his or her spiritual teacher. There is often a lineage involved in a legitimate spiritual path and that is one of the ways we are protected from charlatans.

Midah k'neged means "measure for measure," or "as you sow, so shall you reap." It's not about vengeance, as it has been often interpreted by those unfamiliar with the Torah. It is about the natural laws of Elohim, which have been a natural result that returns to the perpetrator. We call this return "judgment."
We have different metaphors of it (e.g. an eye for an eye). But again, it is not about vengeance; this is how it has been misunderstood by people who are more interested in vengeance and anger and wrath than in truth. Judgment is God's problem; it is not our job at a certain level. Yet, we have judges, and when judgment is done in a highly refined way, which is not really happening in our society. However, God will take care of a person's actions. When people have done something evil, it will come back at them as a part of natural cosmic Elohim law. It may happen ten or twenty years later, giving people time to change their ways. And if they do not change, the judgment manifests at the right time.

The issue of false witnesses is something common in our society, and shows up often in the guise of gossip. When an issue comes up, try to go the source.  This is a general feedback system - two or three witnesses is a good number. I take a position that if three people tell you that something is out of balance in your life, you are wise to heed this warning. So, a very nice message on the spiritual path is that if three people give you feedback that something is out of balance, or if your spiritual teacher gives you feedback, and you want to check with other people, doing it in an appropriate way, those witnesses who come from the community can help you understand wether you are on track or not. This is a very important principle for spiritual evolution. Often we make collective decisions, though not all the time, and it is based on those kinds of issues and those kinds of principles.

(Dr Cousens also wrote that all the people in the Sanhedrin knew everything about the occult, so that they could protect themselves against black magic. I personally never opposed divine or white magic, I only am against sorcery or the 'black arts'. It is self-destructive and destroyed ancient Atlantis).
