Pause whenever you feel discomfort or contrast in your life long enough to say to yourself "what a pleasure."
This was the theme of Kabbalah 1 first lesson that our Kabbalah group meeting attendees watched last night. Coincidentally this quote was in my In Box this morning from Abraham-Hicks Publications.
"There will be a time, not so far from now, that you will look back on this phase of your life and instead of condemning it or beating up on it… Instead of blaming or guilting, you will feel appreciation for it, because you will understand that a renewed desire for life was born out of this time period that will bring you to physical heights that you could not have achieved without the contrast that gave birth to this desire." Excerpted from Boston, MA on 10/4/97 Our Love Esther (Abraham and Jerry)
Did you know that electron particles can only be observed when there is a disturbance? From the book Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli, Riverhead Books, New York 2016: "They materialize in a place, with a calculable probability, when colliding with something else. The "quantum leaps" from one orbit to another are the only means they have of being "real": an electron is a set of jumps from one interaction to another. When nothing disturbs it, it is not in any precise place. It is not in a "place" at all."
How do we transform the disturbances in our lives into blessings? According to Eitan Yardeni who teaches Kabbalah 1, we experience 1% of reality most of the time. If we pause during a disturbance in our lives, we can access some of the light contained within the 99% of reality. We expand as vessels receiving the light. He said Kabbalah comes from the word Kabal meaning to receive.
When we pause, according to Yardeni, we are pausing from our ego's reactionary responses born of fear, anxiety or anger. We can pause long enough to realize that our ego is reacting and return to a mantra such as "what a pleasure." We can practice this all day long as though we were in a spiritual gym.
Light can flow when contrast helps us to realize what we want in our lives. Try pausing when you have contrasting thoughts and reactionary responses and see what happens. I find when I pause, it wakes me up to how much there is to appreciate in any given moment. It's like a stream hitting a rock or a curve that points it back to the flow where there can be manifestations, ideas, electrons. Pause as much as you can throughout the day and see what happens. Perhaps we can share during the beginning of our next meeting. After sharing we can watch the second lesson of Kabbalah 1.
Our next meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 4 6-6:45 for eating and 6:45-8:30 for watching and discussing the second lesson of Kabbalah 1. The meeting will be either at The Rainbow Wellness Center, 19 Church St. or at my house 5 Pleasant Ave. I will be in touch a few days before.
