When You Are Ready For Spiritual Advancement…
…all of these disturbances unfold and we have to understand that all of these disturbances are the revelations of our heart and of our mind that we have to correct.
And, specifically by their correction, we ascend.
So, don’t see them as disturbances, but as a means, a springboard for ascent.
Thoughts on Getting Married
Some thoughts for those close ones who will be getting married next week….
Breaking the Glass
There is desire and there is fulfillment. In order to be fulfilled, a person must have a desire. For example, If a person is not hungry, then he will not feel any pleasure from eating. When we are born, the relationship between our desire and fulfillment is very straightforward. A baby cries and he gets fed. As adults, we desire more than food and comfort. We grow to want more and more. Alongside our growing desire comes the means to fulfill the desire, we become conscious adults who proceed not only from instinct, but with intention. The glass that is broken under the wedding canopy represents the vessel, the desire for fulfillment. The bride and the groom begin life together with the broken vessel. To the extent that they can build a vessel to hold the love, to hold all that they want, to that extent they can receive it in their life.
Started Out in Darkness
I started out in darkness – Living in a world to receive
Finding it impossible – to feel outside of me.
We discovered through the decent – I’m rising to the next degree
Got to rise above it all – as if it doesn’t exist.
*Love covers all crimes. Between my desire and my intention I ride the middle line.
*I search my heart for some place we can connect. Between the good monster and the bad monster and my hungry intellect.
*Until I know how much I need you, I’ll never beg for more. Light come and save us, shine a remedy for our cure.
*You said, “Come to Pharoah!” I may be fooolish, but I’m not mad!!!
*You’ve got to help me. I’ve got to want it so bad. But I’ve got a stony heart that won’t open just like that.
Started out in darkness.

What do you think?
From what I get, this book is more than a book. It is the next state, the next ‘movie’ that we will live in, but it will be real, whereas now, this life is like a dream, a fraction of the whole life.
Open your heart to me slightly, and I will open the world to you.” -The ZOHAR
Don’t know if this will make sense to you…
but it struck a chord with me:
Article of the Day January 19, 2011
Question: How can we increase the power of overcoming in order to win over growing egoistic desire?
Desires along with all other human qualities starting with worst ones (this is the way they seem to a person), all of them reveal to us from the common system of all souls that are moving toward correction in accordance with the common creation program. We received this program from the starting point and, thus, we are unable to correlate to a person any definitions that only belong to him. He is like a cogwheel, an integral part of the system; he must reveal his qualities, all his inclinations, all his states. One should not perform any calculations as to where he is at a certain moment, because it is not him, it is the common system being in a certain state that decides what will happen to him now. You should not worry about your current state, because you cannot do anything about it. It is decided by thousands of conditions that are outside of you. Similarly you should not decide anything or think about your future state, as it does not depend on you either, this is being decided by the entire system that must make a step forward and advance this way. Actually, you must only think about making this step forward, just think about what depends on you in this action. What depends on me in the step I must make now? And here, also, I do not do everything on my own; I am being assisted by the upper force. I do not discover anything by myself, I do that with the help of the upper light. As soon as one determines that and really comes to the point where he realizes himself, he starts seeing this action very clearly, distinctly, as a simple push of a button. If he does this right, he advances immediately. This is what his mission is actually all about, only performing the action that is demanded of him at every given moment. In the process of clarification he understands other things as well, so, by pushing this button, he actually starts the whole system and begins to understand it, comprehend it, perceive it, and he is not only just being there like a guinea pig that must push something and receive food for that. This way he discovers the conditions and the reasons in various states. Pushing the button is the last action he performs. Those discoveries are, actually, all he acquires.

My left leaning friends get the Change message. My right ones don’t.
They may associate it with Obama? Could they associate it with Bob Dylan’s lyrics..by the way, how crazy is it that after our country makes public enemies #1 & #2: Osama and Hussein, how nuts that our president’s name is B. Hussein Obama? That is an extrodinary coincidence. I digress.
The reason I’m writing now is to tell you something about change, the kind of change that I’m talking about. I have this set of thoughts, negative thoughts. Something happened to me and it left a scar on my mind and my mind constantly goes to thoughts about it. On the other hand, there is a certain thought that I consciously want to be thinking all the time. So it dawned on me – just now – that when the bad thought comes, I’m going to use it as a flag, that now, think the good thought. I’m not going to even associate with the bad thought. I’m going to see it pop up in my head and it will be a sign to think my good thought.
That’s good change.
Special Days are Upon us
(9/28/2006)
Suppose a person hurts, and he hurts real bad. It’s the worst feeling he’s ever had.
He needs to find a doctor who can help. When he finds the doctor, then he can get medicine and begin to heal until he attains health and happiness.
When he gets better, he can appreciate the doctor.
So the cycle goes. First, we realize what our situation is as opposed to where we want it to be. Then, we realize through trial and error how the goal always alludes.
Having exhausted his resources, a person realized he doesn’t have what he needs. He can ask from the bottom of his heart to be endowed with life.
So opportunities present themselves and a person needs to gradually aquire some attribute he didn’t previously possess. The ability to see the situation from a different perspective.
He asks and opportunities are presented. He can gradually agree to the new ways in order to escape his current state.
