You can develop your Universal Power, Strength and Authority!
Forget what you think you know about Israel, Adam, god and humanity ...
Here is the real deal!
Everyone, all of humanity can become Israel.
Ish - man
Ra - power
El - Strength and Authority
The term Adam is generally thought of as meaning 'man'. In actuality, Adam (man) is all of humanity, both the male as well as the female.
Regardless of what 'science' teach on the subject, there are plants, animals and humans - they are Not the same thing.
If you listen (hear - Shema) what is being said here, you can become a powerful human being, in righteousness! Gender is not the factor, you can be or become a powerful human being regardless of gender, be you male or female.
As such, you will make a difference in your own life, the lives of others and cause the world (the societies of this planet) to become a better place, a place of Peace (shalom).
Shema Yisrael – "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One"
Shema Yisrael (or Sh'ma Yisrael; Hebrew: שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל; "Hear, [O] Israel")
Shema is to hear, and to hear is to understand.
In order to understand, one must listen to what is being said, contemplate the information and accept it as true (worthy of respect).
Yahuwah Avinu (Yahuwah is our father) -
Yahuwah Eloheinu (Yahuwah is our
strength and authority) -
Yahwuwah echad (Yahuwah is one)!
Yahuwah echad is the foundation
of Shalom - true peace in the whole universe.
Lets look at (Yahuwah is our father) - we are attributes of the Universe, the One Substance we call Avinu (our father).
Our strength and authority (Yahuwah Eloheinu) - rest in we being in harmony with the Universe (Yahuwah). Yahwuwah echad -
there is only One Universe (one substance) and we are attributes of that one substance (there is no other "God" [no other substance but me]).
So, whatever you think, you must learn to refer to Yahuwah as 'El' (strength and authority). It
may be hard to do this at first, but as time goes on, it will become easy.
Shalom - Peace; wellness of mind, body and spirit
El, Elo'ah and Elohim are incorrectly rendered as (God / gods)
The word el was originally written with two pictographic letters, 'aleph' represented by
an ox head and 'lamed' represented by a shepherd staff. The ox represented strength and the
staff of the shepherd represented authority.
The Hebrew 'El' (Aleph Lamed) represents authority and strength. The aleph
is depicted as a bull, the horns of the ox - representing strength and power
from the work performed by that animal. The pictograph of an ox head also
represents a chief or other leader.
When two oxen are yoked together for pulling a plow or cart or a wagon,
one is the older and more experienced. The experienced ox leads the the
younger ox. Within the Hebrew clan, tribe or family; the chief or father is
seen as the elder who is yoked to the younger members as the leader and teacher.
The pictograph of the Hebrew letter 'Lamed' is a shepherd's staff. The meaning of
Lamed is 'to' or 'toward', as moving something in a different direction. It represent or mean
authority, as it is a sign of authority of the shepherd - the leader of the flock. It also means yoke,
a staff on the shoulders as well as tie or bind from the yoke that is bound to the animal.
The shepherd staff was used to direct sheep or as a weapon against predators to defend
and protect the sheep.
El and Elohim is often mistranslated as God. However, there is a major difference between
"God" and "El". The Hebrew name for El is YHWH or Yahuwah. The Hebrews saw Yahuwah as the older
experienced leader (the ox) and they as the younger who learns from him. The strength and authority
of the Hebrews rest in their concept of 'Yahuwah' and not in the pagan concept of 'God' (gawd) or gods.
The Hebraic concept is expressed in the Shema; Shema Ishrael (or Sh'ma Ishrael) (Hebrew: שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל; "Hear, O' Ishrael").
Hear, Ishrael, Yahuwah is our 'strength and authority', Yahuwah is One. The meaning of 'echad' (one) is
both quantity as well as quality, and implies that there is no substance outside Yahuwah. Thus, Yahuwah is
the whole existence, the entire universe, both physical and nonphysical.
The "God" concept has a "good god" and an "evil god", but there is no duality in Yahuwah.
The Male and female, up and down, left and right, light and darkness are complementary forces such as yin yang - that
govern the entire universe. There are two opposite but complementary forces, (not opposing forces), that
constitute the dynamics of "Spirit" or "life force" or "Universal Corrective Force" which is the aspect
of Yahuwah that moves the Universe.
Elohim
Elohim is the plural of El
El is strength and authority. The plural of strength and authority is Powers. Thus, Elohim is the Powers of Yahuwah. With YahuWah being the totality of existence, the Cosmos and Elohim being the Powers which directs the Order of the Cosmos.
Yahuwah (YHWH יהוה)
Yahuwah is the Hebrew Scriptural name for the former of all things, commonly refered to as "The Creator". However, the Heavens and the earth were "formed" and Not created.
Taking a cue from Spinozs - Yahuwah is One Substance and that substance is the entire Universe! Or, Cosmos if you wish to make a difference that universe is without order and Cosmos is Orderly.
I believe that this is the essence of what Baruch Spinoza (Sephardic Jewish-Portuguese-Dutch Philosopher), was expressing in the explanation of his Philosophy on "Substance, attributes and modes" in "Deus sive Natura" ("God or Nature"). Spinoza viewed God and Nature as two names for the same reality - the single substance - a being of infinitely many attributes.
Israel
We all can become Israel!
We all can develope Power, Strength and Authority in Yahuwah.
We can find our rightful place within the world, within the Cosmos (Universe).
Ishrael's strength and authority is in the 'knowledge' of the "absolute" order of the Universe.
Shalom
Peace; wellness of mind, body and spirit

Strength to Love
Strength to Love: Gift Edition Paperback – March 26, 2010 ; by Martin Luther King Jr. (Editor)
Strength to Love is more than a blueprint, it is a template for personal authenticity in a time when social and economic change depend on personal integrity. The insight, luminously conveyed in this classic text hints at a personal transformation at the root of social justice. Dr. King states, "By reaching into and beyond ourselves and tapping the transcendent moral ethic of love, we shall overcome these evils."
So wrote Coretta Scott King. "I believe it is because this book best explains the central element of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s philosophy of nonviolence," she continued. "His belief in a divine, loving presence that binds all life." It is impossible to separate King's religious views from his views on societal change, which makes this a timely read when religious discussion is often left out of the public square.
A Testament of Hope
A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches Paperback – April 29, 2003 ; by Martin Luther King (Author), James M. Washington (Editor)
"We've got some difficult days ahead," civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., told a crowd gathered at Memphis's Clayborn Temple on April 3, 1968. "But it really doesn't matter to me now because I've been to the mountaintop. . . . And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land."
These prophetic words, uttered the day before his assassination, challenged those he left behind to see that his "promised land" of racial equality became a reality; a reality to which King devoted the last twelve years of his life.
These words and others are commemorated here in the only major one-volume collection of this seminal twentieth-century American prophet's writings, speeches, interviews, and autobiographical reflections. A Testament of Hope contains Martin Luther King, Jr.'s essential thoughts on nonviolence, social policy, integration, black nationalism, the ethics of love and hope, and more.
