Don’t worry if every time you walk into a Kabbalah Centre you immediately start judging all the people around you. Don’t worry if you are driving to the Centre and you feel like yelling at someone there, or complaining.  Don’t sweat all that dialogue that goes on inside your head before you arrive at the Centre where you are launching a tirade of complaints at your teacher. It’s just the opponent amping up his influence because you are entering a place of true Light.

All those negative feelings will turn into blessings the moment you recognize it’s really the opponent that’s causing you to judge others. It’s absolutely NOT YOU. It’s the adversary stirring up your complaints about students, about your mentors, your teachers, the Centre, life and even God Himself.

This is actually a good sign.

Why?

It means the Opponent is worried sick about you. It means he is busy with you. If you did not have something powerful and profound to contribute to this world, he would leave you be. Make no mistake about it. You’d walk around in a carefree, judgment free, happy-go-lucky state of mind.

But you’d also have zero impact upon the world.

Those of us who are ready to blast someone before we come to the Centre, those of us who whine about the late night connections, the time delays, and everything else we can find to complain about, we have the ability to bring about significant change in our life, and in turn, in the world.

What we do each moment of our day impacts the Middle East, Africa, America, South America, the Far East and every single soul on earth.

If we want to remove darkness from the world, we need to remove it from ourselves first. That will then diminish the global darkness.

You cannot remove darkness from yourself or the world, if you don’t have it. You can only repair that you possess.

Therefore, the Light allows the Opponent to blanket you in darkness. This means the Light already knows that you have the fortitude of character and deep  inner power to triumph over this darkness.

How do you conquer the darkness on a practical level?

Simply by making the separation between the opponent inside your head and the True You.

The moment you have that awareness, the moment that you know all your complaints and judgment are really just the Opponent, that’s when the Opponent is busted. The negativity then busts apart  unleashing bright fountain of sparks of Light.

Now the world shines brighter.

All because of you.

Make no mistake — nothing is free in this world. Nothing. We either pay now or we pay later with some form of chaos in our life. Nothing is free. Bread of Shame is a fundamental Kabbalistic concept and it is a fact and law of this universe. Bread of Shame means we receive nothing in this physical dimensions known as planet earth without earning it. Why? Because we, the souls of humanity, told the Creator we want to earn and become the very cause and creators of the fulfillment we receive. You see, there is something far more profound and infinitely greater than having endless paradise. What is that? It’s creating and becoming the cause of the paradise that we are experiencing — instead of having it handed to us for free.

So on this physical dimension, nothing is free. We might think we are not paying now, but the universe and the force called The Adversary (Satan), will eventually send us a bill and the payment can wind up being a portion of our happiness, or our money in business, or our marriage, or our health, or our peace of mind!. No matter what, says Kabbalist Rav Ashlag and the Zohar, that dark side will extract some form of payment from us.

We must earn everything that we receive in life, if it’s to have value for us. In Kabbalah, we either pay by volunteering and using our sweat and effort as currency.  Or we pay a token amount to attend classes, as did all of Rav Ashlag’s students. Let’s not be so naive to think that there are free things in life. To take or receive anything of substance and value for free is to diminish our dignity and rob us of our humanity. Why? The greatest gift that God gave humankind was the ability to earn and to become the cause and creators of our own wisdom, learning and happiness. If it’s handed out for free, we are not earning. Therefore, we must pay for it later because that is the way the universe is structured.

Any true Kabbalist will confirm this deeply profound and honorable truth. How silly and foolish to believe otherwise.

If someone tells you something is free, beware. They are robbing you of your God-given right to become the cause of your transformation and the earner of your wisdom and happiness. Rav Ashlag’s students were poor. So what did they do? They pooled their money together and they designated one student to attend a class with this renowned Kabbalist. Then the student would return to his friends and share all that he learned. This is how you master the wisdom of Kabbalah by developing a deep appreciation for the most profound knowledge in the world.

The whole point of this entire physical world — all the stars in the heavens, the seven continents, the entire animal, vegetable and inanimate kingdoms — it was all set up so that we, humankind, can earn the wisdom and paradise that the Light of the Creator wants to give us.

Nothing is free.

We always pay for everything.

Any pain in your life right now — any chaos, any darkness, large or small, big or tiny — is because we did not pay for something in the past. It’s because we did not share and treat others with kindness.

If we truly grasp the power of the wisdom that we receive in Kabbalah, we know (we don’t just believe) that this wisdom is priceless. The opportunity to learn it is incalculable. If someone complains it means they are not yet ready to handle this truth and they are not yet ready to earn the right to possess this life changing miraculous wisdom.

Because there is one vital and important payment that must be made in order to perceive this truth; it is the payment of our ego.

We need to give it away.

For good.

The word consciousness is not an easy one to wrap your head around — pun intended. I remember when I first heard Kabbalist Rav Berg use this word back in 1990, I had no idea what it meant in a practical sense. Over the past 23+ years, my understanding of the word consciousness deepened. It became more practical as my own consciousness changed and, hopefully, elevated on this difficult but priceless and rewarding path called Kabbalah.

It’s funny. The Rav always told me Kabbalah is simple. It’s not easy, the Rav clarified, but it is simple. Arriving at the destination called simple is a challenging and hard road to travel. The Rav always said you will know that you have found truth when something becomes simple enough for anyone to understand. If a concept is garbed in complexity and it is convoluted and sophisticated when trying to explain it, the odds are, it’s not truth.

Today, for me, the word consciousness is a far simple a term to grasp than it was 23 years ago.

So how can we explain consciousness in the Kabbalistic sense so that it is practical and comprehendible by almost anyone?

First thing we must do is to learn what consciousness is not!

Consciousness is not intellect or intelligence.

Now let’s take a simple example to explain what consciousness is.

Think back.

To your childhood.

Remember the first time you learned to ride a bicycle?

Intellect is knowing the information necessary for bike riding. For instance, we know we must pump the pedals to accelerate and achieve forward motion. We know we  must balance ourselves so that the bike doesn’t wobble or tip over sending us crashing to the pavement, scraping our arms or knees. And we know we must steer the handle bars in the direction we wish to travel.

However, having all that information does not mean that we have mastered the art of bike riding. Even though we know what we must do, the first time we ride a bike, we are unable to maintain our balance. We unable to coordinate the various aspects and moves necessary for riding a bicycle. Even though we want to. Even though we know what we must do. Usually, one of our parents has to hold the bike by the back of the seat so that we don’t have a nasty spill.

Some of us had training wheels on our bikes so that we could practice without tipping over.

FROM INTELLECT TO CONSCIOUSNESS

There comes a moment, after a lot of practice, when we finally master the bicycle and we can ride on our own. Shortly after we literally become one with our bike and we are now bombing around our neighborhood full speed without even thinking about the necessary moves required to ride a bike.

That moment of oneness is called consciousness.

Specifically, it’s the consciousness of “bicycle riding.”

Before bike riding became second nature, it was only the level of intellect.

THE ORIGIN OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Kabbalah teaches that there are two realities — the 1% world we perceive with our five senses. And the 99% realm which is the source of all wisdom, knowledge and happiness.

The 99% is a realm of infinite consciousness. Let’s examine this further.

King Solomon once said, “There is nothing new under the sun.”

In other words, all the songs ever composed, all the inventions ever created throughout history, all the knowledge of mankind, it already exists in the 99% as part of that infinite force of consciousness that Kabbalah calls “The Light.”

For instance, the concept or force of consciousness called a bike, as well as the consciousness of traveling by bike, already exists in the 99% reality. As we practice riding a bike for the first time, we are building a vessel (desire) inside of us, gradually drawing down the force of consciousness called “bike riding” to fill that desire. After a certain amount of practice, our vessel is finally built and that particular frequency of consciousness now pours into us.

Presto, we are riding a bike!

It’s second nature.

It’s a breeze.

Guess what? The perfect world already exists!

But over the last few thousand years, we have been slowly, gradually, drawing down the various forces of consciousness that will bring forth that perfected, blissful world of existence.

We have been practicing the art of human existence for over 2000 years. For instance, in the area of travel, we have moved from horse to horse and buggy, from  bicycle, to trains, then buses, then to the automobile. Soon after we invented airplanes and finally we built supersonic jumbo sized luxury jets.

As our consciousness develops we are moving closer to the perfected concept of travel.

The same holds true with the idea of a house. First we lived in caves. Then tents. Then huts. Then log cabins. Then brick or stone houses. Then beautiful homes and apartments and high rise condominiums with air conditioning and luxuries and amenities that would sound like mysticism to the people who lived only 500 years ago.

We can now ask the question: Why is it taking so long to develop and progress towards the goal of a perfected world, where our houses, our cities, our transportation, our energy requirements, our entertainment and our technology and communication and health are absolutely perfect?

Here’s the long-held secret to the unleashing the power of human consciousness. Consciousness, as I said, is not about intellect. It’s really about our purity as a people. Purity means our desire to share and our willingness to love and identify the one blockage that prevents us from sharing and loving and caring.

That blockage is the human ego.

THE POWER OF CONSCIOUSNESS

There are two ways to make contact with the 99% realm. One way is through pain and suffering, as we have done over the last few millennia. This is the slow way to evolve as a people and a world community. This is why the world is progressing so slowly over the last few thousand years.

The second way is to attack our ego and transform our selfish desires. Each time we nail our ego, we connect to the 99% reality. Both ego transformation and pain and suffering in the world helps us evolve. Ego transformation is the path of mercy and pleasantness. Individual and global suffering s the path of judgment and pain.

The only reason the world has experienced more progress in the last 100 years than all other centuries combined, is because the Zohar was revealed for the first time in history at the beginning of the 20th century. There is no other reason why technology and physics suddenly exploded transforming our world over night. We went from horse

and carriage to the space shuttle in a matter of decades.

It’s unheard of.

The reason the Zohar opened up the floodgates of human consciousness is because the Zohar is the primary tool to transform the ego and thus, transform the world. The Zohar is the merciful, pleasant way to transform and evolve and connect to the blueprint of paradise that exists in the 99% reality.

The same way we must practice bike riding using our intellect until that magical moment when we make contact with the 99% and thus bike riding becomes second nature, we must transform our ego by practicing sharing by using the tools of Kabbalah. Rav Ashlag, the founder of the Kabbalah Centre, explains it this way:  As we practice being proactive, kind people who treat others with dignity, we slowly transform ourselves until that magical moment when our soul’s desire to share becomes second nature and it rules over our selfish ego. That is when sharing and caring becomes second nature to us. An Israelite will love a Muslim as he does his own brother.

Now we will have mastered the consciousness of Divinity, the God-like trait of sharing, unconditionally, with our fellow-man.

Follow this next idea carefully: When that epic moment occurs, our connection to the 99% will be 100%. This means, all the “ideas” and inventions and cures and technologies for creating a perfected world of immortal existence and bliss will pour into all of mankind and we will erect and construct that perfect world overnight.

All of us who study Kabbalah know we must share. We know we must not get angry. We know we must not be afraid. We know we must have certainty in the face of daunting obstacles. We know death is an illusion. We know the Messiah and the perfect world will soon come. But all of this is only intellect. We have not yet mastered this state of consciousness. When we do, all of this will become second nature in our minds then it will all manifest our lives. We will ride the bike of paradise and never look back.

So for now, we practice. This is why we use the 72 Names of God each day. This is why we scan, read, learn and simply carry around that Zohar. We are building our desire, our vessel and our consciousness. We are harnessing the strength and courage to diminish self-interest and ego.

The Zohar is the absolute most powerful tool and technology that we have for fast tracking our way to the perfected world and the transformation of our intellect into true God-like consciousness.

This is the gift God gave mankind.

Now, take that gift and practice.

Every day.

Especially this week as Rav Shimon Bar Yochai’s power and Light and consciousness takes hold in the world.

This week is Lag B’Omer, the Death Anniversary (or should we say the “Light Anniversary”) of Rabbi Shimon.

The full, unlimited power of the Zohar is revealed this Wednesday Night on Lag B’Omer.

This is the same power that was revealed on Sinai; the same power that brought immortality to the world when Moses connected humankind to the 99%.

It’s all available this week.

Practice believing it. Practice sharing this week. Practice and work at defeating your ego every chance you get.

Know that Rabbi Shimon is holding the back of your bicycle so that you will not fall off as you pedal along.

Rabbi Shimon will then let go of that bike, and you will ride on your own.

This is the power of Zohar.

Let us strive to appreciate it.

Some say Kabbalah is dangerous.

It is.

But only when it’s taught by those not authorized by a Kabbalistic master to teach and share the wisdom.

Rabbi Shimon says in the Zohar that if you learn Kabbalah from someone who is not a true Kabbalist, someone who is not a Rabbi with all the merit, authorization, the documents and the rabbinical and kabbalistic ordination to teach, then that individual brings Darkness into the world — a darkness beyond what we can imagine. This is what is written in the Zohar. And it’s pretty darn scary. We need to appreciate that there is only one lineage of Kabbalists.

There has always only been one lineage of Kabbalists.

Throughout the centuries, many egocentric students abandoned their Kabbalah teacher and started up their own “schools.” The names of these false teachers have been forgotten in history and only the names of the one lineage of Kabbalists remain. But in each generation, the same old egomaniac students bring darkness to the world. It happens in our generation as people hijack and rob the teachings that they learned from Kabbalist Rav Berg and Karen Berg, and start their own “school” for the sake of their own honor, their own satisfaction and their own hidden agenda.

The true Kabbalists are always called the charlatans and hucksters by the fake ones and by the corrupt establishment. That’s been the sly and shifty pattern of history and this is why the fires have burned in the world for twenty centuries. Everything is backwards. What is empty and useless and temporary is valued by the world and what is true and priceless and eternal is mocked by the deceivers who profit from our pain.

These false teachers of Kabbalah create that darkness and they infuse into the world. This darkness, according to the Zohar, causes the death of people in the world.

Yes, this is a harsh, provocative, hard-hitting truth. But it’s the word of the greatest Kabbalist in history, Rabbi Shimon, and he wrote it in the Zohar, which means this truth is an actual ray of Light. The Zohar says it’s an absolute sin to leave your Kabbalah teacher and teach without his permission because of the danger it causes to the world.

This is what the Zohar say about this sin: ”

“Rabbi Shimon said to all the friends of the group, I beg of you all not to utter any words of the Torah which you did not hear from a ‘great tree’ (a learned Kabbalist) and did not learn properly. So that you may not be the cause of…the slaying of multitudes of human beings without reason!”

The Zohar goes onto to say:

“That sin that slays human beings. And who caused all this? That disciple — the Kabbalah student — who did not earn the right to teach, but does so. So may the Merciful One save us!”

As Kabbalist Rav Berg always taught me, Kabbalah is a serious path and we cannot mishandle this wisdom or “mess around” with the Light of the Creator. We cannot afford to take this wisdom lightly or casually. Appreciation and care for our teachers and this wisdom ensures we are on the right path.

Keep in mind, this does NOT refer to students who share Kabbalah with friends, family, colleagues and the world. It refers to a person who presents him or herself as a bona fide Kabbalist and leader and teaches Kabbalah to the masses. It refers to the pretenders.

Sharing the wisdom and Light is what Kabbalah is all about. But to share, we must be aligned with the true lineage, the Kabbalah Centre, Kabbalist Rav Berg.

Because that is how we draw our own blessings.

When we teach Kabbalah to our children, share it with our friends and pass the pearls of wisdom to the others, we have twenty centuries of Kabbalists flowing through us because we call ourselves a student of the Kabbalah Centre, the student of Rav Berg. This is the profound gift we are giving to our children, friends and colleagues when we share. Imagine, when we share this wisdom with family or friends, it’s as though the Rav is right there with us, speaking through us, which means so is Rav Brandwein, and Rav Ashlag and Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai.

This is the gift we receive when we align ourselves and connect ourselves to the true lineage and masters of the Kabbalistic path.

Make no mistake.

]]>

There are no sins we cannot correct or fix. Our sins and darkest behavior become actual BLESSINGS and rays of LIGHT the MOMENT we admit our negative actions and transform the actual character traits and impulses that led us to behave negatively in the first place.

Not just that. It gets even better: The worse our previous deeds were, the greater the Light we shine into this world when we transform through the power of Zohar. Think about that! Most of us would be delighted to just to earn a clean slate  and balance out our negative karma. But the Zohar says we get far more than just a clean slate. The darkness and sins that we committed become actual assets, actual blessings and sparkling diamonds that shine in our life when we genuinely transform ourselves.

This is why Kabbalah loves all the sinners, thieves, crooks, scoundrels, rascals, mischief makers, burglars, robbers, drug dealers and gangsters. They offer the world the absolute best chance for injecting great Light into our world and therefore bringing the Messiah the moment they embrace Kabbalah.

This is why Kabbalists NEVER judge people.

Everyone is a child of God. Everyone is a spark of the Divine. And everyone eventually seeks to come back to the Light! It is only our ego, the Satan/Adversary who tries to convince us that we cannot change and that we can never pay back for our negative deeds.

Not true.

The Opponent/Ego called “Satan” injects us with guilt to keep us down and to prevent us from changing.

Everyone can change.

Everyone!

And it’s now time to remove all judgment from our world. This happens to be one of Jesus’ greatest Kabbalistic teaching in regards to judgement when he said, “People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.”

We are all in the same boat.

If we do not judge others, judgment can never befall us.

It is we, ourselves, who cause judgment to strike the moment we judge others.

God NEVER judges.

Instead, God arranges the world in such a way that people who commit similar sins to our own, they are placed before us to test us and see whether or not we judge. Do we empathize  and see the good in people, or do we judge all the negative traits that we see in others? If we judge someone else, only THEN does the universe judge us. We pull the trigger. Not God. This is why Jesus and all Kabbalists like Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai tell us NOT to judge.

If we just try to not judge, judgment will never strike us.

Now we can focus on finding our own negative deeds and inner darkness so that we can make that darkness shine bright by embracing the sacred Zohar and uprooting all of our inner character traits and negative desires and transform them into traits of compassion, caring and sharing.

It’s time to shine.

One week before 9/11, Kabbalist Rav Berg  said to everyone sitting in the Kabbalah Centre on Saturday morning: “What is a catastrophe?” The Rav explained that people call an event a catastrophe if death happens all at once and in the same location. The Rav said that if 1000 people die in one location because of an accident we call it a catastrophe. But when 500,000 people die over the course of a year because of smoking, why why aren’t we calling smoking and the existence of tobacco companies a catastrophe?

The Rav said this is how the Adversary (the force called Satan) fools us. He spreads death out over time. He places the victims who are dying througout the world so that we do not connect the dots and feel the drama of death. Just imagine if all 500,000 people were congregated in one place at the same time? The Adversary uses “time” and “space” to blind us to the true darkness in our world. This way we do not see the disaster and catastrophe that is happening right in front of our eyes.

Then the dark force in our world uses the drama of catastrophes on TV to keep us blinded to the other and far worse disasters taking place on a human scale. This way both disasters keep on happening.

Events like earthquakes, airplane accidents, acts of terror, tornados and nuclear accidents occur because we do not perceive the catastrophes and disasters that we cause when we hurt the other people in our lives each day. We “spill blood” when we embarrass another human being. Every day billions of people allow their ego to shame other people, to cheat other people. We allow injustice to happen to other people. We do not rise up against the day-to-day negative actions that occur. We believe that if we only steal a little bit, or curse at a person only when we’re angry, or talk slander only when the person deserves it, this will have no effect on the world — certainly not a disaster like a nuclear meltdown or earthquake.

Wrong!

That’s the trick.

That’s the deception.

The message of the Rav on that Saturday morning before 9/11 was clear. We don’t realize that our individual negative actions of ego accumulate. They build up. Then they feed the collective dark force on a global scale. When a disaster strikes on the news, we all react and feel the pain. Of course, we do need to react and take action to help with global catastrophes that appear on the news. But JUST as important, we need to take action and feel the pain from all the disasters and catastrophes that happen in the world each day of our lives.

It’s the small things. It’s always about the small things.

The large dramatic disasters only happen when the small egocentric actions of individuals accumulate and reach critical mass. When we raise our consciousness to the the level that we truly see the impact our individual behavior has upon the world, the world at large will change.

Send in food, prayers, water, money, Zohars and other aid to people, cities and countries when a disaster occurs.

But just as important, the Rav is saying we need to start living differently. Right now. We need to fight the future chaos and prevent tomorrow’s disaster before it appears on CNN.

How?

By fighting our ego in the next minute. By not being right all the time. By conceding a point. By not judging someone, even they deserve it. By doing small acts of uncomfortable sharing. By spending 5 minutes meditating upon the Zohar. By offering tolerance to our enemies. By offering dignity to friends when they make us burn with anger.

We must use the Zohar to turn our ego and ambition that is solely directed towards the self and direct a portion of it to serve the welfare of others.

Soon the world will realize that all of our talents were given to us for the purpose of causing happiness in other peoples lives. Not our own life.
Soon the world will come to the realization that we did not come to this existence to make our own dreams come true.

We came here to make OTHER people’s dreams come true.

And THEN the rest of the world will make our dreams come true as well.

That’s the trick. That’s the secret to creating heaven on earth and experiencing profound technological, biological, sociological breakthroughs in the world that will transform everything in ways we dare not imagine.

A simple shift in consciousness—from taking to giving—will turn the world into a true paradise.

Remaining with the destructive consciousness of “me first” will allow the earthquakes, poverty, wars and loneliness to continue to afflict our lives.

And remember, the ego (The Adversary) has one job right now — to convince us that the ego cannot possibly be the cause of earthquakes and nuclear meltdowns.

Ever wonder how many miracles and disasters have we already prevented by sharing the Zohar and restricting our egos? We don’t know because those disasters never happened. But if there are still tears in the world, if there are people still hungry, sad, lonely, homeless, hurt and broken, there is still more work to be done.

Let there be sound! Looks like science is finally catching up to Kabbalah. A few thousand years ago, Kabbalist Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, author of the sacred Zohar, the major book of Kabbalah, said the literal understanding of the Ten Commandments is a fraud. He explained there is no such thing as “commandments” in the Torah. The word is “utterance” and the Zohar said it refers to ten “utterances” and sounds that brought our physical universe into existence.

Today, New Scientist magazine reported that physicists are saying an “ancient primordial sound wave” brought structure to the early universe.

According to New Scientist, “Sound waves that rang out in the early universe sculpted its structure.”

The Zohar explains that the very sound vibration for the Hebrew word “galaxy” is what brings structure and existence to a galaxy. The words for “star” and “planet” and “dimension” and “atom” are not just literally phenomenon to describe something. Rather they are the very forces that bring these entities into existence.

More exciting to students of Kabbalah, is the Zohar’s explanation how to tap into these ancient sounds to bring structure to our lives.

Enter the 72 Names of God, the Zohar, the Torah reading and the 42 Letter Name of God. All these ancient Kabbalistic tools are based on the letters that are formed from these “sounds of creation.”

The ancient Kabbalists gave us the sound patterns and sequences of vibrations that can transform our lives on every level. These patterns are the words of the Zohar, the words of Torah, and the sequences of the Names of God.

When we interact with these universal technologies, we invite their power into our lives to transform us.

Hearing their sounds or meditating upon their unique shapes establishes the connection at the root level of our soul and all existence.

It’s as simple as that, and not any more complicated than that.

Only the ego, the force called Satan, will try to complicate it and make us doubt.

Next time you hear the Torah, or meditate upon the Zohar, know with certainty that you are tapping the vibrations of pure creation and altering your own life for the better.

All you need to do is triumph over the doubt.

The two Names of God below banish doubt by igniting certainty and they stop all negative, obsessive thoughts.

The Zohar offers us penetrating and provocative insights into these questions. Below you will find details of an upcoming lecture, this Wednesday, at the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles.

Last time I was in Mexico was many years ago with Kabbalist Rav Berg. About 15 of us were on the balcony of the hotel when a 7.3 earthquake struck. The building and balcony were swaying like crazy. Everyone ran out and evacuated the hotel. Except for the Rav. The Rav was in the middle of the evening prayer connection. The Rav said, “I am staying right here to finish the prayer.” My wife and I stayed with the Rav on the balcony because for me, that was the safest place to be. After a good 20 seconds, the quake stopped. Zero damage was reported in Mexico. There was no loss of life.

THIS is why we were in Mexico. Kabbalists always travel to places to prevent the forces of judgment from striking. The world just didn’t know it throughout history.

I have not been back to Mexico since that quake over 6-7 years ago. The Rav just went back THIS past Shabbat to Mexico after so many years.

Today, as the Rav and his son Yehuda Berg were in Mexico, a 7.6 quake struck.

There has been zero report of damage. And there has been zero loss of life.

Yehuda’s family flew back to Los Angeles right after Shabbat.

But Yehuda and the Rav stayed behind and that is why there were there today.

Chaos can leave zero damage in our lives and turmoil can have zero effect upon our personal existence, no matter how bad it might appear before our eyes — provided, we keep our certainty and have the power of the Zohar.

That is the take away from today’s event for those who have eyes that see and ears that can hear.

Here is the introduction to Part One of the lecture I shared in Toronto early March/12.
