Have you ever had a gut feeling that if you went to this one particular party, even though you were tired and grumpy, something good was going to happen to you? Or have you ever just known that if you walked down a certain street, something bad would happen?

This is your intuition guiding you. And your intuition is provided by the Light.

According to Kabbalah, there is a curtain separating the physical world (1% realm) from the spiritual world (99% realm.) This curtain is all that keeps us from total fulfillment.

Intuition is one means of pulling aside the curtain.

Familiarize yourself today with that feeling in your gut, with first thoughts that pop into your mind. Trust your initial instinct. With each step you take towards listening to your intuition, you will draw that curtain open further.

 


 

"A person whose strength is in his words, and not in his actions, will always be caught in the world of extremes." - the Zohar

There is tremendous energy in our vows. When we make promises and don't keep them, we create little voids of energy in our lives, which is why we are so often uncomfortable and dissastisifed.

Today, make sure what you put out there matches the truth of what you are doing. If there is any lack between the two, you are wasting your time, says the Zohar.

 


 

Always remember the kabbalistic principle: there is no coercion in spirituality.

We cannot force our opinions upon others even though we may think it is for their benefit. We are not the policemen of the Creator. We can only share with an open heart and let the Light take care of the rest.

Is there someone that comes to mind as you read this today? Who are you coercing to believe, do, or say what you think is right?

 


 

My father's teacher, Rav Brandwein, taught him, "When we come to the upper worlds, we are asked to name the greatest accomplishment of our lives.

Most people answer, "Everybody loved me." These people are told to go back and do it all over again."

The purpose of our Creation is not to tow the line and do as we are told. It is to make waves and to be willing to stand alone if it means standing up for what we believe in.

Today, speak your truth, regardless of what others will think.

 

 


 

We're always going to see what's wrong with people. That's easy. But it's not so easy to penetrate into the heart of what is good about a person.

The great 20th century kabbalist Rav Yehuda Brandwein taught his students to look for the inner point within a person; to see beyond the external and into the soul. He would often say, "Do not look at the container, but at what is in it."

Today, when you're in a meeting or at the checkout line or sitting at dinner with a friend or staring in the mirror, look for the good within the person facing you. See the beauty and Godliness within . Find the positive — it's there if you look hard enough.

 


 

What is Light, spiritually speaking?

It's joy. It's unconditional love and compassion. It's that which animates us and fills our body with life.

And you experience it all the time. Any moments in which you feel genuinely happy, when joy floods through you...that's the Light. When you are pleased by a job well done, when you are tingling from falling in love, when you are perfectly relaxed on a boat on the ocean, when you are laughing so hard with friends that you think you're going to explode, when you watch someone you love earn something they deserve. The source of all of this is the Light.

The Light is on 24/7. We only need to step back from our rational, self-serving minds, and let it do its magic.

Allow yourself to feel the Light today. Just let yourself experience the joy, love and compassion that is inside of you. That's it.

 


 

Nothing is 100% black or white, right or wrong. good or bad.

When you look at reality and say, "I am right," you should always know that there is someone who will come along and say you are wrong. The problem of argument is not who is right or who is wrong — it is that you think that you are right and someone else is wrong!

Be open to another point of view today, even when you are 100% right.
