When they don’t want to transform, be patient and persistent
My job as a teacher is to create a window of opportunity for the student to enter a different reality, a higher version of their life where they believe in their abilities and potential. Believe is the wrong word – where they know it.
It may take a week, a month, a year, a decade – it’s up to them to go when they are ready. It’s not my job to push them, just to keep it open. I’ve had the same conversation with someone, over and over, for years, and finally one day the Light bulb went off.
Is there someone in your life that’s frustrating you because they don’t get it? Be patient. As long as you stay true, unconditional, open, and caring, they’ll get it when the time is right. Your test is to keep your excitement and commitment levels high and rising.and successful. Fantasize with the intent of activating these deep desires and allow these universal forces inside you to unfold.
Dreams: Messages from All-of-it
Dreams are vitally important to our existence. They’re not just fantasies that are meant to entertain us as we live out our days monotonously. Rather they’re our greatest potential whispering to us and motivating us to reveal that potential in the world.
Unfortunately, most of us abandon our dreams in childhood. Settling for what we think life is supposed to be, rather than what we dream it can be. We lose the enthusiasm and motivation for our greatest goals, and stop even daring ourselves to think of such things.
Today, remember this: everything starts with a thought. Allow yourself to cook up the infinite ways in which you can be happy and successful. Fantasize with the intent of activating these deep desires and allow these universal forces inside you to unfold.
A moment to moment look at your life: are you ordinary?
What were you doing before you opened this article? How was that action helping another person?
Heavy question. But if you truly understood what Kabbalah is about – accepting the responsibility of being a channel of the Light – then you’d be thinking only of how to share and care for others. If we’re here on Earth, it means somewhere in a world far, far away, we signed a contract, we took an oath with the Light, that we would do this job.
Truthfully, none of us are at this level. That’s why we need to remind one another of what we really were born to do. Today is an opportunity to reaffirm that oath that we made with the Light. We’ve been at this for lifetimes. We’re not going to quit now
How to defeat your ego
Rav Ashlag, the founder of The Kabbalah Centre, says there is only one thing we can do to defeat our ego – recognize it. The moment we see it, the Light comes in and sucks it out of us. When we give up our ego completely, when we achieve the level where we can do true letting go of our agenda, that’s immortality in all parts of our life.
Today, recognize everything about you that is opposite of the Light, and connect it to your ego. Whatever hurts you, whatever ticks you off, whatever saddens you, whatever insults you, whatever worries you, whatever frightens you, know that it’s simply your ego doing its job of blocking your Light.
