There is the illusion that we are separate beings. We are not.
There is the illusion of time. Time is not.
All of these illusions occur because of any attempts to fix the image. Life is a moving thing. Everything changes yet we are ever eternal. The difference between illusion or reality is in the ability to be transparent to every change and keep filled with the certainty of each moment along the way. Let’s just say that the answer you received is not the gospel of what is really going on. We are given the concept of illusion so that we can recognize the changes and that these changes are in themselves malleable through the influence of mind.
In this sense your fears are illusions because a change of mind brings the rays of light which shine through the fears, dissipating them, making them transparent and leaving in their place the certainty of each moment. There and only there is the reality in the changing movement of the eternal as we reflect (enter vantage point upon vantage point) on these changes causing indeed the very changes we are reflecting upon.
That is why in an instant a person’s life can undergo dramatic changes as your mind changes, adjusts and recognizes now the eternal being that is becoming. What exists is I AM in and through everything. When your identity rests there every thing is possible. Using this analogy the creator rests within the soul of the created. Every attempt to find the creator without is meaningless. It’s like looking for your glasses when they are on top of your head. You take it with you wherever you go.

This is written in response to the idea that you must suffer in order to receive, or that when you are sharing, it must be difficult to be worth receiving in kind.
When guilt is removed or bread of shame and the individual realizes that the creator can only give, then unceasingly does he receive. I think we would agree on this. How you get there is where I have another viewpoint than that of traditional Kabbalistic teachings.
This way of suffering promotes intentional pain as in, “give me more suffering” so that I can improve my circumstances or my “getting.” This has been a tenet of Jewish life and a misuse of the “torah” or law which states that what is in mind appears in kind. The history of Judaism bears out this error of asking for suffering as a way of appeasing HaShem and “getting.” Judaism has persisted but still holds on to its pain.
There is a much better way to open ourselves to the abundance of our creator, than asking for suffering to remove our guilt, or to pay our way into heaven. It is based upon a psychological principle that validates completely the person as one with HaShem.
A Course In Miracles speaks of this through forgiveness, and letting go of fear.
“thou shalt have no other gods before me,” alludes to this. The one is good. There cannot be a bargaining with good. Attempts to do this always result in a tainted or a less than good. I don’t know why Judaism has such a problem with this concept. Perhaps it is the guilt passed on by generations over losing the temple. I don’t know.
It is more than simple to free a person’s mind when his heart is completely unburdened. Your message may find people looking for more burdens and in fact encourages them as a price to be paid for getting. Life is full enough of challenges and pain without asking for more so that we can have a payday. The fact that this appears to work only proves that mind will show exactly what is imprinted upon it.
The point is that we can always make a better picture. The better picture in this case is that we always have everything we are. “Envision rightly so the sages say and all the wrongs will melt away” as mists before the sun.
The light is always on. We must become “transparent to the light” allowing it to shine through us. Therefore may all our days be filled with light so that the world will resound with light.
The only thing we really can give is the connection. That is where our abundance comes from. Money ironically has nothing at all to do with it. A million dollars cannot buy the connection, while the connection can generate a million dollars.
There used to be a template that travelled with the Pillar Cloud, that when placed over pages of Torah revealed the original message that was told to Moses and not the version later transcribed from memory. This template was altered when Yitro the priest of Midian intervened.
In this way Moses had returned to Egypt in a sense and allowed darkness or veils to creep into the fabric of Torah. The original template and the Pillar Cloud are still there waiting to be accessed. I mention this because this life is incredibly more wonderful than can be imagined which is why we can always imagine more and unceasingly.
When I began to write this post I simply listened. Reading back the previous paragraph I now understand why I have responded in the way I did. In order to bring in or make oneself transparent to the light, one must be alert to every indicator of light and willing to go where no one has gone before.
One more thing. There is no Kabbalah unless it opens up a door and another connection is revealed. How blessed to be alive this day.
Amazing isn’t it.

What is there to be free of? It is the reactions that are unconscious and upon us even before we realize it and then it becomes difficult to snap out of this negative pattern. What works best is a return to an active or non reactive mind set which moves forward at its own pace. It dismisses the feelings that cause these reactions and rises above them in order to accomplish its own momentum. Using that momentum is the main reason why higher thought always gets you out of the doldrums you may have the illusion of experiencing. When you can let go into higher thought this is where your mind starts to become free, because then you connect with the super consciousness or the highest mind and the ego mind identification with the separation reality is no longer engaged. The focus therefore becomes like unto the explorer who quest for new visions and adventures knows no bounds. Always even in the midst of discovery be ready to move into the next realm of the imagination so that you come let go and not be tied to any kind of pattern based awareness.
The point is not to be locked in by repetition of any form. The new pathways appear always. It is our perception which must always too, be on the lookout for these pathways to rise up into. Just as now there are things that cannot be understood, there is the subsequent strivings for which are the keys to each level or attainment mastered. Mastery then consists of alertness, awareness, fearlessness and an open intellect to allow for these pathways to become integrated into your being.
Be careful in unguarded moments of reverting to a reaction based mind set. This type of mind-set calls for tit for tat which takes you endlessly downward in a negative spiral. Let’s deal with how to avoid these downward turns and what to do when you find yourself in the middle of a downward turn as your higher mind clicks in to tell you something is not going right here and that it is time to listen. No rationalizations are going to be of any help here since they are part of the problem of the reactive nature which is always rationalizing its actions. There is only one cold turkey type approach. That is forgiveness. It is the letting of the emotional impetus behind the reaction and then turning the mind like a big 14 wheeler around to face the other way. There are then three steps to follow.
1) The higher mind makes you aware that it is time for action and not reaction.
2) Apply forgiveness. Let go of the emotional impetus behind the reaction now beginning to unfold. Utilize the opposite emotion in its place not as a reaction but as a way to dissipate the negative feelings that have caused a way of thinking that you know cannot do you any good. All of these actions of forgiveness or letting go, or reversing the emotions are energies applied within. They cannot be directed without towards another person or situation because then this is simply another kind of reaction. The point here is to change your mind from passive to active.
3)Now you are ready to turn around your mind and set into motion actions that are directed from above. You will know that they are being driven by the one when your actions are not towards another but inwardly focused to bring forth revelations and understandings that can help you grow your awareness.
None of us are immune from reacting. It is in the recognition of our reactions that we can find a way out of this pattern of hiding ourselves from ourselves. Move in from among the clouds and part their curtain with the sureness of grace and the perfection of your straight ahead approach.
Practicing the active awareness:
Use words of power that actualize your will. Be active in the present moment. Use every affirmation that you can think of and then keep on thinking of more. Remember turning your mind around is difficult at first because of the resistance factor built in by the negative momentum that had previously been built up. Watch for sudden turns which may distract you from your efforts. Keep tuned to the positive momentum coursing along now as a result of your efforts. Soon there will be breakthroughs and they will occur throughout this process as the turning becomes more pronounced and then your efforts begin to acquire a sureness all their own. The initial frantic pace is reduced because you realize that you are finally on the right course and that it is taking you where you want to go and not what your reactions would have directed you. Bless yourself from within. That is to apply the energy of self to the self in opening up further the awareness to move on its own level accord.
What is moving on the inside is what you will see. It is all in anticipation of the flow and learning how to deflect the inertia into areas of promotion
Affirmations.
I move within everything out of the sense of the completion of my purpose.
All around me are those good thoughts coming from the genesis of higher awareness always taking form within the thought patterns I listen to in each and every moment.
I fill myself with understanding each day by making every connection. Some more profound than others.
I meet resistance through dissipation flowing through and around softly and gently never disturbing the onward flow.
I learn much about will and the eternal sense of being that I am.
Will it is the primary focus never to be undertaken without purpose.
It is only with the slightest touch that I strum the chords of Will.
I make everything not only easy for myself but set in motion that awareness which returns abundance to me in each moment.
I move forward with the momentum I have gained and remember in each moment to resist the reactions which take me back into the flow of negativity

Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water. Ignore the Centre’s pleas for your continued participation. One day you may want to participate. Understand that Kabbalah and the Zohar are their life. That’s it. Of course they are enthusiastic about wanting you to get as much as they have to offer. What gets lost in their zeal is that it is a person they are talking to who has to move at their own pace. To lose one person, one connection over this would be such a loss. To think that the Centre had an opportunity to connect and did not because they did not remember the person….
Please accept, Centre, some constructive thoughts here.
When meditating or saying prayers can you force the meditation or force the prayers?
Truth and Kabbalah cannot be sold. The money you receive for your teaching is purely through HaShem’s grace. Try not to take this for granted or seek to gain more than your share or like the manna that spoiled, it will taint your message, causing you to gain much early and lose all later when the sun rises for the new day.
Your publication of the Zohar is magnificent along with all the commentary. When anyone has the ability to purchase this, I would encourage this completely. Absolutely awesome. If it were just for this it would have been enough.
Mind over matter is just that. It works everytime. Perhaps let go of the money a little and pay more attention to the person you are speaking to. This is how the connection is made. It isn’t the passing of a few bills, but the passing of a truly caring heart, one love for one another. Only by seeing into a persons heart can you reach their mind and connect. HaShem is always with you. Make the connection in this way and miraculously your sustenance will be provided from sources you could not conceive of the day before.
In America we give our money out of love and compassion and our need to exchange value for value. Do not take us for granted or America for granted either. The very land itself is overflowing with spirit, truly from sea to shining sea and in the incredible kindness of the people living here regardless of race or creed.
Your one is the 99 percent world. You cannot coerce this but can only bring it forth through compassion. The end does not justify the means. The means is the end.
Thank you Centre for listening

The confusion arises because of separation. Anytime you separate God and creation there are contradictions. God and creation have to be One. For the most part we live in the world of appearance. Things appear to be this way or that. Because of this we take no action internally with our thinking because we accept the status quo not even knowing that with our thinking-being we change the very ground we walk on. Kabbalah is not meant to look afar for God or Creation, but to realize that both God and Creation are inside of who you are. The only evil there ever is happens when we make the wrong choices in terms of unity with the Tree of Life or co-opting the Tree of Life as our own personal entity thereby separating ourself from our own sense of who we ultimately are. The truth is that the Tree of Life is eternal. Further recognition of this leads to Eternal Life. “That which you attend to in mind you become within yourself and exhibit in your perceptions of the world around you. Look for and to Eternal life and see the remarkable changes taking place everywhere in your sphere of vision.
What about evil? What about all those despots and horrible people throughout the ages? Where was God then? Why did God do this? Evil arises from separation. Separation is denying God or the unity of all being. This type of attitude is limited by definition and leads to death.
If you are separate then you cannot be infinite. There has to be a distinct beginning and an ending. There is always an end to Separation. We die or become Immortal. In either case we experience unity which is the One of Being.
We can choose to ignore God, experience evil. We do this by considering evil, projecting evil and never once realizing we can change our minds and our own personal movie.
It only takes one person with a clear vision to change the entire world forever

There inside of us at all times, places experiences, the Tree of Life awakens within us, and through us until it filters through all of existence.
Inspiration.
It is the flowing of the sap which climbs ever towards the light. It can only flow when your recognition is one with this energy. It becomes one through repeated attention and the ability to conceive of such inner spaces. It is in this conception that the inner paths are most assuredly stretched out as we go from ignorance to awareness in a series of cascading revelations.
Especially now at this time of year become more than aware of your own internal strivings towards the light and offer up all of your illusions in the service of all who climb together as one becoming one.
Mind is the tiller of the field. I am, the Thatness, All there is, is the field.
In the Beginning we are told not to eat of the Tree of Life. What does this mean? Why not eat of that of which we are? “Not to eat of The Tree of Life” means do not take apart, or dissect that from which there can be no dissolution. Analysis is not necessary and only leads to “death” as an opposite or a distance apart from that which we already are.
When we eat of something we are absorbing its essence into our own, making it a part of who we are. It is in this making of the part that we lose the whole. “Yes this is for me” defines the individual but loses the Godhead. The lesson is that in order to become a part of this Garden and to live in the midst of the Tree of Life, one must accept it as oneself and not break it apart into how it can be consumed. It brings about by definiton our own consumption. If we devour life we devour our own Immortality. Everything happens internally as a result of our thinking.
The most intimate nature of Now contains everywhen, everywhere and all that is to be.
The Tree of Life is an internal map leading to your own golden center where All is One. Walk the ways of the wise in all things. Seeing by faith, intuition and advanced focus that this is indeed true. You will always know where to turn in times of trouble and always be rescued in times of peril.
The leaves on the Tree of Life are made up of the 72 Names of God. When you water the Tree, it is your mind that opens up those pathways through and into the Seventy Two Names of God which now awaken the living Tree which moves to make your world the paradise it always is

In Mind the only claim to territory is becoming conscious of that territory by placing markers in various regions of mind as references to return to and to facilitate ensuing functions of Mind. Mind cannot know itself except by becoming itself. There is a building up from within of the knower with the known. The expansion of mind much like the expansion of the universe works according to every outward extension of consciousness. the more practiced we become the greater the results of our efforts in making known the unknown.
Its not out there. There in the external awareness. To qualify further, it isn’t out there unless you find it first within. Practice being here and now and then where you want to be. Be at peace with your own place.
Be open to every new idea and maintain the awareness to do so by resisting the negative entropy that surrounds the outer spheres. Keep to the inner circle and you will be safe from the swaying flows of downward regression.

Mind understands the intellectual passageways as well as the symbolic passageways. When the two are intermingled as we are sketching forth here, it makes for a rich interplay adding texture to the focus as it builds itself up from within.
The purpose in any issuing forth of vision is to enliven the vision with every manner of movement arising from the eternal stillness. It is the contrast however that is the delineating factor. Movement must come from the stillness. Inspiration or the revealing touch is most easily recognized in this area of in between stillness and motion. It is where the actor or divine presence always reside as the ultimate nothing that is everything. It is from here that all strength for focus comes from.

Now you are ready for the image activation. Place each image into a field of golden flowers. Watch as the image expands and movement occurs. The image is floating barely above the flowers. It merges now with the flowers and the you are breathing in the sweet subtle fragrance of its essence. This is how it comes into being. As this merging takes place, your every breath now brings this into being in the world of form complete with every essential ingredient you’ve suffused into it.
The first line:

In the beginning, when the light first arose, the first miracle was to eliminate negativity, which healed the world, bringing the transition or dream making all that was made exactly as it was made. Everything was clear. No doubts or illusions to cloud the ways.

All around you is every avenue of awareness bursting with thoughts of love and positive energy. Get out of your own way and resolve to listen and thereby let go of the entropy, leaving it behind. Identify with this all encompassing feeling of unity in every situation. Experience this unity and rejoice in its flowing through you.

In mind there is focus and attention and the recognition of something always just beyond our grasp. It is this unknowable that is continuously brought into being, becoming known or at least known to the point of the acceptance of its being. The mundane mind is accustomed to the known and seeks to make it reference from there. Sometimes it will seek this even to its own clouding over as when we doggedly hold to a way of thinking that is no longer of any use to us. It is common to go in circles in our thinking simply for the lack of effort required to let go and break through into the realm of the unknown. It is this silence of the unknown that keeps us from investigating it. It requires faith to proceed in these investigations realizing that there is always somethng from nothing in this case and that something is always of a good report. There is a period of passing through into this awareness which all kinds of phantoms of our imagination rise up to attract us and keep us from our inward journey. The reason is the very essence of life itself and the innate desire of all creation to survive, to continue. Our old thinking by its very nature is being discarded the moment we embark upon the inner journey of discovery which opens up our awareness of the unknown. The mind seek reference points for its navigation. When the unknown is being translated a temporary place of being is established more or less as a fall back position in order maintain the continuing flow, Reality is one thing. Transcendence and transformation of reality another. This is the area that we are getting into in our discovery knowledge process today. Everything and anything may be used for a reference point(s). Time itself can be utilized. There are no restrictions here. Creation permeates all of being. This is what underlies our process here.
Kwi-Li, a very wise 3 year old rolls a ball down a hill. The ball rolls slowly at first, then gaining momentum speeds down the hill and out of view. Kwi-Li looks down the expanse of the miles long hill, ponders his short legs and starts laughing. No way he is going after that ball. Someday he thinks he’ll find the ball and oh what a story he’ll have to tell.
Some many years laters an 83 year old Kwi-Li sits under a Bayo-bob tree sipping greeen tea and herbs. His mind is quiet in meditation enjoying the serenity of the coming sunset and the beginnings of a cool breeze brought on by the approach of evening.
Suddenly interrupting his reverie he hears a rushing sound coming from his garden. Ever closer it gets under with a plop at his feet it stops. It is a ball of course. Kwi-Li remembering smiles broadly. Yes that story now is my life. He picks up the ball, gets up from his chair and is never again seen.
Time makes no difference. Experience crosses the generations. Everything is contained in the single moment which is why the unknown is not to be feared because the completeness of each moment is for sure. It’s length or breadth a matter of perception. It is our actions we take in order to be true to who we are that is important.
The nature of a thing, thought, or universe can be entered into increasingly with knowledge built up as you go along. This includes both that which is known and that is just being discovered and is too new to catalogue yet. It exists for now in the realm of pure, transforming substance as it is absorbed or “energized” by the focus of awareness. How we come to knowledge is from the outside in. The idea occurs yet this is not the essence of the idea. Reflections keep being born which may set us off on the wrong track. By sticking to the original point of contemplation the outer becomes the inner. As knowledge builds the form(s) around it coalesce.
The initial glance is one of recognition. Then as our interest draws us in the field becomes clouded and there are distractions. Be patient and continue to come inside even to the point of not understanding everything at once but being aware that you are touching everywhere that which is your intention and the focus of your attention. Become at one with your surroundings and proceed as in movement of a sphere in the expanses of space. The currents of time and space are no longer your boundaries. The existence of warp field like properties propel you along with your goal. In unity do you express that which you are seeking. Go after this hand over hand into the internal workings finding out that hidden things too delight in light and connection.
Once inside expand your presence. Bring up all the images around you. See how they fall together in time and space.
Activate them inside of your awareness. Visualize a glowing golden button alongside of each image. Prior to pushing this button inside of your minds eyes, notice that these images are glowing faintly but distinctly. Now one by one push the button and watch each image become brighter and brighter. It is the transition into form that takes this image and transforms its energy into the presence and being in the world around you. Further work is necessary to prevent the backflow effect from occuring. Place transparent shields of indescribable thinness around each image until these images are transparent inside of these shields shaped now as spheres. These shields are semi permeable. Light and intention can enter to rearrange the images if necessary but no internal outflow may occur at this stage. This is crucial. The outflow is directed into the world(s) of choice to cause the embodiment of the image inside of that world of influence. This is more in the nature of the source behind the source.
