shimon

SHIMON COMES FROM THE WORD SHEMA WHICH MEANS LISTEN OR DISCERN. THAT MEANS THAT SHIMON IS CAPABLE OF SENSING OR HEARING THE INTENT OF THE WORDS OR ACTIONS OF THE PERSON . SHIMON READS SITUATIONS WAY BEFORE OTHERS ARE AWARE OF EVEN THE SLIGHTEST DISCOMFITURE.
EVEN THOUGH SEEING ASSESSES INSTANTLY, HEARING REALIZES THE NUANCES AND THE HIDDEN INFLECTIONS. IN BRIEF SHIMON IS FOREVER ANALYZING EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. HE MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE , ALWAYS ASKING WHAT YOU MEANT BY THIS OR HOW WAS THIS INTENDED . PERHAPS HE OVER ANALYZES AND
CAN BE PARALYZED BY ALL THE SIDES HE SEES.
AT OTHER TIMES HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THINGS ARE SO CLEAR THAT HE REACTS TO SITUATIONS LONG BEFORE OTHERS DO. OFTEN IN THOSE SITUATIONS HIS ANGER HAS BEEN TRIGGERED AND THE RECIPIENTS OF HIS WRATH ARE SORRY TO HAVE COME NEAR HIM.SUCH IS THE LOT OF OUR BROTHER SHIMON. WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR HIM? GIVE HIM REUVEN'S INSIGHT?IT ISN'T WITHIN HIS NATURE..BECOME OBLIVIOUS TO HIS SURROUNDINGS? HE WOULD THEN FORFEIT A DIVINE GIFT.
WHAT DOES YAAKOV SAY? I WILL DIVIDE AMONGST YAAKOV AND SCATTER THEM AMONGST ISRAEL
YAAKOV IS THE NAME FOR THE SMALL AND ISRAEL FOR THE MATURE OF OUR PEOPLE.
SHIMON'S STRENGTH IS THE ABILITY TO SORT OUT AND ADVISE. HE IS THE ULTIMATE TALENT SCOUT AND THE PERFECT COUNSELLOR FOR THE PUBLIC.HE SEES POTENTIAL IN EVERYONE AND HE FIGURES OUT THE COMPLICATED ISSUES.WERE HE TO DEDICATE HIS ABILITIES TO HELP INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR SEARCH FOR MEANING AND SOLVE THE ISSUES OF THE PUBLIC, SHIMON WOULD BE MOST USEFUL AND GRATIFIED.
INSTEAD SHIMON STAYS IN HIS CLAN AND SURROUNDS HIMSELF IN HIS SHELL OF PRIVACY. HOWEVER, HE REMAINS DISSATISFIED AND FILLED WITH RESENTMENT AT THE INJUSTICES HEAPED UPON HIM. IN THE FUTURE HIS UNDERSTANDING NATURE WILL BE USED TO FORCE HIM INTO TEACHING POSITIONS. HOWEVER, HAD HE FOCUSED ON UTILIZING HIS STRENGTH HE COULD HAVE BECOME EVERY ONE'S ADVISER AND ANALYST.
THE COHEN WOULD HAVE MEANT THE PERSON OF UNDERSTANDING WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADVICE AND PEACE OF MIND.THE TEMPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN A PLACE OF SERENITY AND JOY AS EVERYONE WOULD FIND CLARITY, THIS WAS NOT TO BE.
