In Shamati 64, there is an acronym “SAM.” I’ve also seen it in other writings. What does it stand for or mean?

Thanks!

I would sincerely desire to attain adhesion with the Creator and pray incessantly for Him to raise me to higher levels.

It would seem that men need to hit rock bottom before they want to turn around and look up.

In Isaiah 14 we read:

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

Is this a picture of Malchut? Is this our essence? It seems when we say Malchut wanted to control the Creator, it became the being that Isaiah called Lucifer.

Wow, a place where evil is no longer called good and good evil. A place where truth is normal and lies are not tolerated. A world where our neighbor is loved as ourselves. Sounds like a beautiful place to be! Sign me up!

In Proverbs 27:17 we read “Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Connecting with others allows us to work together with our own desires of reaching adhesion with the Creator, and as a team make up for whatever lack the individual possesses.
