It just struck me. From one of the first stories of Father Abraham in Torah. Father Abraham had two wives that did not get along (ego), although they parted, the family dismantled … The Upper Force blessed both of their son’s abundantly. Perhaps the underlying message is, “I have enough for Everyone, even your ego does not separate you from the goodness I bestow “.
Would you agree that Kabbalah can be practiced in any religion and that it in fact enhances your religious experience as you’re then able to see perceive on deeper and more meaningful levels of understanding?
Hey Esther, I think Kabbalah teaches we can Change ourselves (that’s the inner work) because we live in a world of cause and effect … Outcomes. What is out of our control we can make Peace with, perhaps learn to be compassionate towards ourselves for those things we can’t control. I came up with mantra which I repeat to myself whenever I need it:
“I have no control over another’s words, choices, or actions, only my own”.
Shalom, I wrote this short poem yesterday. I think it aptly describes why my Soul led me to this platform. I’m trying to figure out my purpose for being here on the Earth. Why did G_d choose this experience for me? I hope that fulfilment will be attained when I am walking in my Souls purpose.
This Way and That
Age degrades, Desire evades,
Swayed this way and that
At the bat of an eye, I sigh,
Yet insist the Creator Exists.
Can’t fit in with the crowd
loud and obtuse, refuse to accept
the deception programmed and crammed
into my head which led to no desire required
for everything lost, tossed in the bin to begin anew,
how to construe what I cannot view in my
mind’s eye, though I try,
I cannot see who I’m meant to be.
Bend this way and that, rapt in finding what is
binding and blinding me from being free to be me,
the one I can’t see.
