After the 2011 Israel Tour!

After the 2011 Israel Tour!

After having an awesome, connected time with the Creator and fellow students, I returned home feeling extremely fulfilled, on a high, and harboring the thought that nothing could disturb the peace I had at that time. Every moment, knowing fully well that it would just be a matter of time!

I soon realized that it was somewhat difficult for me to describe my experience to others in words as the words seem so lacking in conveying the emotion and the spirit of each event, as each event had a personality all its own. However, I discovered that once I desired to share the experience and opened my mouth in an effort to do so, my soul would take over, and within a second, I’d be reliving each moment, and it is with that passion and excitement that the listeners would be able to catch a glimpse of what I’m trying to share.

During my first days back at work this week, I actually saw what chaos looked like as I stared at it unfolding its character in various ways through others, either directed towards me, or by just being around me. I kept meditating on the first and second lines of the Ana B’Koach to destroy the negative influences at the seed level, to inject the power of redemption from ego and selfishness, and to connect to unconditional love in order to replace confusion with understanding, patience, and tolerance; and transform chaos into miracles and wonders.

I continue to search for and ask my being for the right words to describe my experience in Eretz Israel, and I keep coming back to the fact that the experience is inside of me, imprinted on the very fiber of my being. Therefore, I would encourage everyone who hasn’t been to Israel to, first, decide that you are going, start seeing yourself already there, and then ask the Light to show you what financial strategies and creative ideas you need to implement in order to manifest the desire. You’ll be amazed how everything comes together! I am so very grateful and thankful that I had the favor of going to Israel.

Blessings!

Question from a class member!

Hello Everyone!

First at all I have to say that the blog is a great idea, I love it!!!

I have 2 questions and a commentary

Why does the Ana Bekoach/42 letter name of God start with Chesed and the three higher realms are not included?

About the washing of the hands, I can't have a bowl of water next to my bed, Is it still worth it to wash them at the sink since the Zohar says that if you don't do it right away you are already "blind"

I especially enjoyed the explanation about going up and down in the tree of life as the only way to restrict therefore reveal and earn Light, I was personally going through a process where I felt that no matter what I do my garbage still the same (in a very Scorpio way) and to hear that give me the power to feel different and look at this situation in a completely different way.
