Deconstructing My Fears

if I look closely

at myself

if I truly believe

in myself

if I find the courage

within myself

then their power fades

and I can face anything

the world will throw at me

Accepting Who

Why do I feel like I’m becoming something new

Every little thing seemingly changing shape in my view

Even the words on my tongue sound different too

Now like an owl I must question who

I look into the mirror of my soul

Always questioning my self given role

Forgetting that it isn’t my entire sole

Accepting that there is more than one goal

Why have I became entirely anew

Feeling like grass with the morning dew

As my face embraces a calm bright hue

Now like an owl I must declare who

Once again gazing into the mirror of my soul

No longer fearful of taking the reigns of control

Replacing all the pieces that others stole

Finally constructing my being into something whole

How do the mystics do that - they're at peace with the world and at war with themselves. Thorough introspections, deep into their own shortcomings, too engrossed in their own faults and errors, too engaged in self disciplining. I should be less concerned of how deteriorated the world is while my own condition is not any more safer from decay...

Truth exists beyond logic, beyond the reach of our sight, beyond the grasp of our hands, and beyond the limits of our understanding.

Tikkun Olam & Conflict

Schwer zu sein a Yid… It’s true. To be Jewish bears a responsibility to live a Jewish life. It is one of prayer, meditation, Keeping kosher and fasting relentlessly. Silently wrestling with Hashem while striving to be better today than we were Yesterday…. Otherwise we’d have no need of tomorrow. Which is great when we can forget the struggle of Jewishness and every misplaced bit of anger…

In an attempt to change the general perspective the collective seems to have about Mercury Retrograde. I would like to share something I have started doing during Mercury retrograde periods. I find that I start to reminisce about songs I haven't listened to in a while and songs that remind me of specific times in my life. So I decided to start making playlists during these periods of retrograde and think about why these songs have come up for me. During Mercury retrogrades, it's a good idea to take note of what comes up for you in your headspace! It's inviting us to look at what we might want to look at, revisit, restart, re-do, rearrange, et cetera. Along with what we do NOT want to restart, redo, revisit!! I always find it to be a very special and enlightening time. Mercury Retrograde has a bad rep because most of the collective's consciousness is focused outward and not inward. Mercury wants us to look within during these periods! I invite you to make a playlist of songs that come up for you during these times as well! And if you do, I would love to hear it! I am very interested in these types of things.

Thoughts of the day; Fought with a guy once, and he said you’re so desperate for attention and validation that you’d probably let somebody fuck you to get it, and I never been so floored, he put his finger exactly on why I used to conduct myself in that manner, hearing it from someone else’s lips is what made it real. Now I question my every desire, is it for the best tho?

Will I outlive this curse placed upon me..

Chasing Down a Vision

it always seems

to get away from me

quick like a rabbit

darting in and out 

of my thoughts

forcing me to consider

the path I'm on

where it leads me

and how often

I feel lost and confused

vague shapes

and undefined emotions

speed past me in a blur

I have to build a better trap

if I want to succeed at

catching them and

saving my soul

In the depths of darkness, seek the opportunity for growth, introspection, and transformation. Just as the night sky embraces the stars, darkness can be a space for reflection, healing, and inner discovery. Embrace the shadows within yourself, acknowledging your fears, doubts, and pain with compassion and courage. Use the darkness as a canvas for self-exploration, allowing yourself to unearth hidden truths, confront inner demons, and cultivate resilience and strength. Remember that darkness is not devoid of light; it is a contrast that allows you to appreciate the beauty and radiance of the light within you. Embrace the darkness as a teacher, guiding you to deeper self-awareness, acceptance, and growth. By embracing the darkness within and around you, you can emerge stronger, wiser, and more compassionate, shining your light even brighter in the face of adversity.

Why Look Outside of Self For Answers

You can’t begin the search for what you want to manifest into your life by looking for it outside of self. Your life is an inside realization with an external manifestation.

We spend a lot of time looking externally for what we think we want. That’s not to imply that you don’t know what you want, because without a doubt you do. And you want to know how you can tell this? Because when you get what you wanted, it’s spot on, or it’s not quite right, or you weren’t satisfied. And or the feeling was totally and utterly anticlimactic. You can’t begin the search for what…

Reflection Beneath

In the quiet of twilight's embrace,

Beneath the moon's reflective grace,

There lies a pool, so still, so deep,

Where thoughts and shadows softly creep.

This mirror of the soul's own eye,

Reflects the truth I cannot deny.

A dance of light, a whisper of thought,

In self-reflection, I am caught.

Through the looking glass of my own being,

Past the surface, ever freeing,

I dive into the depths unseen,

To find the truths that lie between.

In the silence, I hear the call,

Of heart to heart, the rise and fall.

The echo of my inner strife,

Plays out the symphony of my life.

Each ripple on the water's face,

Marks a thought, a time, a place.

A journey through the heart's wide range,

Where even I myself begin to change.

So I will wander, deep and far,

Beneath the sky, from star to star.

In self-reflection's quiet sea,

I find myself and truly free.

In the mirror of the night,

I find my courage to find my light.

For in the art of looking in,

My truest journey will begin.

Chockmah: Kodesh Imma, Kodesh Kallah

“Internalizing Wisdom” One simple breathing meditation that aligns with the concepts of Kodesh Imma (Holy Mother) and Kodesh Kallah (Holy Bride) while working from above to below can be practiced as follows: 1. Find a comfortable and quiet place where you can sit or lie down in a relaxed position. 2. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, inhaling slowly through your nose and exhaling…
