Universe Splits
August 21st – August 27th, 2005
There are countless realities, all of which exist at the same time. This is what is known as parallel universes.
According to physics, the moment we make a decision, the universe splits and our alternative decision and fate branch out into another reality. According to Kabbalah, parallel universes grow progressively more orderly, eventually reaching a world of paradise, happiness, and unending life.
Which reality we enter is entirely up to us.
Will it be a reality where our friends support us, our family believes in us, and our heart is filled with understanding? Or will it be a reality where the deal never quite closes; we’re always missing the boat, and trouble is never far away?
Both realities exist at the same time. But the determining factor is not our thoughts, but our actions.
The kabbalists teach us that our ego-driven actions imprison us in the chaotic realities. But at the same time, every moment we resist our reactive responses, we make a quantum jump into an entirely different reality. And each new universe features a more fulfilled version of our lives.
By recognizing opportunities to end reactive, egocentric behavior, we literally move from one world into another.
And it’s not always easy to catch our reactions, but I will share with you a useful tip. The Zohar says it’s easiest to restrict in the first few seconds. If we don’t inject Light in these fleeting moments, the restriction becomes harder and harder - sometimes impossible.
This week we have the power to spot these opportunities for upgrading our reality. We can achieve the ultimate wisdom – seeing into the future - by practicing the kabbalistic teaching of seeing the future in our present actions.
We must each pay attention to how our blinding desire to receive for the self alone shows up in our lives and find ways to restrict it. And let’s be excited about it. Because every time we move against this overwhelming drive for the self alone, the spiritual energy we will be revealing will move us closer to our best reality.
Have a great week.
All the Best,
Yehuda
