Building on a Moment

Are you happy? Me, I don’t always wake up happy. But I follow the advice my father and teacher Rav Berg gave me early on: build on the moment.

The only thing we can do when faced with chaos and pain is accept things as they are and be happy in that moment. The genius of this logic is one moment is carried into the next. When we put all our effort into seeing the good, to pushing back the darkest doubts and to injecting light and happiness, we go into the next moment carrying that energy.

Switching up the energy, that’s what we’re doing. Difficult? Yes. Paradoxical? For sure. Doable? Without a doubt.

Lots of people are in the dumper lately, that’s no news flash. And I think this idea of building on the moment is especially relevant. It doesn’t mean we have to resign ourselves to a bad situation or relationship. I think we have a habit of thinking “I can’t be happy now because I have this problem and if I accept it I will never get rid of it.”

The energy that goes into being happy, internally ignites change on the external level. That’s the beauty of life: everything can change just like that. Even when things aren’t as you want them, if you can train yourself to be happy in the moment, then you will see dramatic shifts forward.

On top of that, why be miserable and unhappy? Look back at your life. If you had certain parts to do over, would you do them over with apathy, boredom and fear? Or would you rip into those situations with confidence and verve?

This week, call yourself out on your negative thought loops. Break it in your mind. Pay attention to how often your feeling of desperation and doubt are in control. Practice being excited and happy - even when you’re not.

To keep it simple, here’s a 3 step reminder for the week:

Accept the difficult situation for what it is
Be happy, despite not being happy (get that?)
Switch the moment, leading to a new continuum of happiness

All the best,

Yehuda

Reason, Result, and Rekindling

Published on November 11, 2008

This is another excerpt from my next book, Tapping the Power. My reasons for introducing it now, is the pressing relevance (and God’s urging) to present the message at this time in our history …

Does God have motives? Is there anything that God requires or needs from us or any other entity? The answer to both these questions is no. However, there is Divine Intervention, Divine Karmic Justice, Divine Reason, consequently Divine Result, and Rekindling.

This is how God operates. Just as there are universal laws which cannot be overridden, there are Divine Laws which cannot be ignored. To do so brings forth karmic consequences. Does a core disbelief or lack of faith in Divine procedure interfere with the process?

The answer to this is, only on a personal or conterminous level. When holding a narrow view of reality, you are subject to all that view has to offer. That would encompass an emotional, physical, and linear view of heavenly-stairwaywarren_jim_stairway001-small.jpgexistence. Consider however, what would happen if somehow you were given a glimpse of a greater Reality—one in which your content were but a sliver of the larger context of The Universal Existence of The Unseen. What if that Body of Knowledge spoke to you—and you had a complete recognition of It?

In many circles you may be considered mad or at best extreme. In others you may be exalted for your acknowledgments, and hailed for your writings. Both are alive and well on this planet. So how does the recognition of the existence of God have an affect on what is?

Some may say it’s a way for those who are fragile to cope with life. Others may have faith, but one that doesn’t interfere with their everyday reality. God doesn’t give them a sense of comfort. Stresses interfere with the messages or they are not heard. What is it that those of us on the path know?

We know that we have free will. It’s a catchy term and I often hesitate to use it, because it blankets too much bad behavior (or, as I like to say, lower consciousness.) But we also know that free will and a lack of prudent personal responsibility to God, is why we are in the state we are in. What does this all have to do with rekindling?

God has a vision. That’s right—a vision! That is God’s “reason” for creation. The vision is to recreate The Essence of What God is, in form. It is quite obvious we are still in process while God is watching. The Truth is, we aren’t doing well on the scorecard of existence. The path from here can go one of two ways. You choose.

Gloria in Excelsia Dio.—Glory to the greatness of God!

If everything you are witnessing confuses you it is because–

Published on November 7, 2008

Mass illusion is overtaking the populous. For example, politics is all about struggle and control. It is internal self-importance projected onto the world. People have a narcissistic investment in their beliefs. Consequently Truth appears to be dangerous. Truth is not popular. What is popular is popularity. Everyone wants to be part of the crowd. This is known as herd instinct. It’s what captivates the mind of humanity most of the time. That is why…

There is no more allegiance to the truth, but to a popularity or dedication to an “ism.” The narcissistic core of judgementalisms is to proclaim your superiority. In this society that superiority has often transformed into a vocation—as in one’s personal religion, moral values, race, gender, ideologies, and sexual orientation for example. Socrates perceived that man doesn’t know the illusory good from the real good even though he chooses what he believes to be the good. Because of this, humans project the good on to that which they desire. But we cannot disregard that…

The most profound fact of all is karma (Divine cause and effect), and that it does not excuse ignorance. What the serpent knew (in the Garden of Eden) lantern_serpent_elfwood.jpg was the inner innocence of the child, which is that part of us that identifies perception as essence. [The serpent, being a representation of seduction or wickedness] plays upon the naiveté of the gullible. This is significant because…

You absorb everything like a computer. With Spiritual intention you begin to sort out the truth from fallaciousness, and when the Buddhic eye opens (at level 600,) you instantly can recognize essence from perception. Love, consideration, and reverence for life, which is what you have become, compensates for the much of the negativity of all humankind. Therefore take solace in the knowledge that…

Divinity is a field of propensities and likelihoods. We exist within a state of inner freedom like an iron filing inside an infinite field of infinite power, and when we align ourselves with that field, we counterbalance all of humankind. When you search for enlightenment you benefit all. Without this fact (and the intentions and actualizations of those on the inner path) the world would certainly destroy itself on its present course.
