ICA -The Creation of Gemstones

By Yehuda Kassif


ICA



When the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep and only the Spirit of God was hovering , the Lord decided to create the world. But since he was not too sure that he would succeed he left in his pocket all the sparkling gemstones.

When the Creator decided to form man of the dust of the ground, he was not convinced that this job would turn out as well as he desired. Therefore he left Love, Grace, Beauty and Kindness in his purse.

And as it always is with those who loiter for their job to be finished, the Lord stirred in his pocket till one could not tell the difference between precious virtues and precious stones.

When God saw that his creation of the world is well done and that man is the miter of the universe, he shook his pocket.



All the Precious Gemstones and Beauty, Grace and Kindness fell down and sunk into the new born world.

We, that can not create anything, but just collect things that already exist,
Do only this:

Look for the gemstones that fell out of God’s pocket and embrace them firmly,

Cut out of them Beauty and Prestige, Glory and Amazing magic
And bring Love and Graciousness to each other.

And some of us try hard to sense in these rare gemstone
All the virtues that have been absorbed in them.

Yet, when we hold a gemstone in our hand, we get a message from that land - the land of Havilah where is the good gold, Bdellium and Onyx.
