                  when 
                    Jewish and Arab piano-pupils  
                  gave

            I just saw the deeply moving 
            documentary  
            about the self-torture of homosexual and lesbian people  
            who want to belong to the Jewish orthodox community. 
             
             
            It epitomized the judgments against Feelings and Body, Desire and 
            Passion ,  
            and the lack of self-acceptance of every single human being on this 
            planet . 
             
             
            The biblical message of "Messiah David and Bat-Sheva" 
            or - as I came to call it today 
            [2004_07_05] - 
            "The Efrat-Rut Code" 
            is about healing the DENIAL of Feelings and Body, Desire and Passion, 
             
            about taking back the projections on others of what I don't accept 
            in myself , 
            and thus becoming WHOLE . 
          Phillip 
            Ratner  
            Rut and Naomi  
            
             
             
            When Rut,  my daughter-in-love,  the second wife of  
            Immanuel,  my eldest son,  was given the name  Efrat, 
            I was so shocked, that I rushed to my Bible to find out the meaning 
            of what I despised as a Canaanite name. 
               
             
            It's true, we searched for a new name, since her name was the same 
            as that of my son's first wife: Rut. 
             
            But "EFRAT"? 
             
            My daughter-in-love herself had finally come up with the name "Tamara", 
            which I adopted eagerly. 
             
          From "Megilat" 
            TAMAR 
           
          
             
               
                  "Megilat"-Tamar  
                    is the story of a woman, 
                    a story that symbolizes - 
                    and a woman who symbolizes - 
                    that redemption means: 
                     
                     
                    SELF-ACCEPTANCE 
                     
                    of the light in me and of the shadow in me, 
                    of the king in me and of the murderer in me, 
                    of the poet in me and of the adulterer in me, 
                    of the whore in me and of the mother in me, 
                    of the Jew in me and of the Canaanite in me.

            "But no"! said the Rabbi in 
            Naharia, whom her troubled father consulted without even informing 
            his daugther: 
            "Her name must be:" 
            "Efrat-Rut". 
           
             
            The study, which did not take an hour as I thought, but half a year 
            - in 2001, and still more in 2004, 
            proves the link between Tamar-Efrat-Rut - who all three transform 
            "the shame of David-Bat-Sheva", 
            and as such are the jewels in what I discovered as: 
           
            THE HIDDEN FEMALE THREAD of REDEMPTION in the BIBLE 
            with its first conspicuous link :  
            Rachel's burial 
            "on the way to Efrat which 
            is Bethlehem"  
            (Genesis 35, 
            16-19; Genesis 
            48:7) 
             
           
               
              
             
          Imagine me 
            in 
            my pyramidal tent, in the garden of Uri, 
            my son-in-love, kneeling at an old computer, 
            studying and discovering ever more puzzle pieces until I felt too 
            overwhelmed to go on, in March 2001.. 
            In June 2001 I began to set up a website in order to learn and apply 
            the 
            message in the pieces of another puzzle. 
             
            Now that I have come full circle, I realize, that the message is the 
            same. 
             
            Why did I pick up that thread once more?

                    The 150 days in 
                    Noah's Cave 
                    and the harsh experiences at the beginning of the work I call 
                    "Mount 
                    Ararat Evolution" 
                    demanded that I take a break, to heal Body and Feelings. 
                     
                    I decided to take time out for 40 days, 
                    and to also enjoy my flat and veranda paradise, 
                    before I would have to give it up, 
                    move in with my youngest son's family 
                    and return to the harsh desert life. 
                     
                  It was 
                    in the beginning of this rest, 
                    that I was asked to talk about the Book of Rut 
                    during the Shavu'oth Midnight Learning 
                    organized by "Yakhad" ["Together"], 
                    a school at Modi'in, the town, I've been living in for 3 years, 
                     
                    which tries to integrate religious and secular pupils. 
                     
                    As a payment I was given a software, 
                    which makes studying the Bible, finding words, copying text, 
                    as fast as flying with a jet plane, 
                    compared to walking with a donkey, as I worked for 46 years. 
                    [It 
                    was only 2-3 years later, that I found an online concordance] 
                    Both - the Yakhad experience on Shavuoth, and that software 
                    stimulated me to return to the study of "EFRAT". 
                    Since I was adamant about not making this another chore, 
                    but relating to it as a playful creation, 
                    I did NOT (!) aspire to complete the research  
                    or to compose the whole puzzle.

                    kneeling  
                    at the big computer 
                    in what has been a "proper" flat 
                    for 3 years  
                    and will be so 
                    for 2 more weeks, 
                    before I'll return  
                    to the desert. 
                     
                    I enjoy the creative play  
                    with the  
                    David-Bat-Sheva 
                    puzzle, 
                    sometimes

                    with

          The quilt of my mattress - doesn't it look 
          like a puzzle? - was created by my daughter, 
          before she had her four children, among them the two younger ones, Yael 
          and Itamar 
           
            
          I see the puzzle, 
            I see its parts, but how can I convey an image in words?  
            I am not even able to give a linear, systematic introduction here. 
            I'll simply pick some aspects of how heaven will come to earth. 
            May this serve as a kind of  
            Promo at least for the Hebrew reader.  
             
          For both, the 
            English and the Hebrew reader I now prepared four pages in English 
            (indicated in blue in the table of links):

            "MEGILAT"-BAT-SHEVA 
             
            My present (June 2004) INTERPRETATION 
            of the Rachel-Tamar-Efrat-Rut-BatSheva thread, 
             
             
          
            
              
 
                  and 
                    BODY IS 
                    GOD, 
                     
                    a bridge to the concept of Body and Feeling  
                    in "God's Info",  
                    according to which I live my life.  
                     
                    Today (June 15) I feel like calling that link and page: 
                    BODY 
                    and FEELINGS  
                    are GOD as well.  
                    ACCEPTING and HEALING THEM WILL REDEEM ME  
                    and - since I am a hologram 
                    -  
                    all of CREATION  
                  Mother-in-Love 
                    and  
                    Daughter-in-Love  
                    on Efrat's birthday,  
                    Galilee, July 5, 2004
