Love is Confession

November 19th, 2008

Love is confession. Confession of fears, hopes, fantasies, inappropriate thoughts. Confession of your truth. Kabbalistically, the process of being vulnerable destroys any blockages in a relationship. Blockages that, if not brought to light, can simmer and explode.

Today, be real with your loved ones. Share what’s going on inside. Release yourself from the prison of, “what will they think?”

The Man with No Feet

November 18th, 2008

There’s a well-worn kabbalistic story of a man who complains he has no shoes until one day he sees a man with no feet.

Today, to avoid the trap of focusing only on what you are lacking, it’s a healthy exercise to look around and see where others are lacking. This will help you appreciate what you have. This is valuable because there is a spiritual principle that states, either we learn to appreciate all things in our life, or we have to lose them in order to realize their value.

We never know how much time we have on this earth to do our spiritual work, so, there is no time like the present, as they say.

We must be on our toes, all the time, guarding against over- thinking and over-analyzing. We must avoid getting our feet stuck in the mud.

Today, do things quickly. Don’t get bogged down in any one thing. If you do, then repeat, “next, next, next.”
