Happy Birthday or Anniversary to YOU, me and US?

We have already discussed and corrected the actual New Year as Spring: Nisan according to the Lord's (Hebrew) Calendar. (See previous blog  post.) We can now discuss why Elul, Rosh Hoshana and Yom Kippur are all still relevant to all of humanity and creation for that matter.

Many Hebrew scholars will tell you that it is the celebration of Adam's beginning. For lack of better words, it's Adam's birthday. That is true in a sense. However, it's not just Adam's birthday. It is every one's (soul) birthday. We are one united soul in creation.

Shema Yisrael, Adonai eloheinu, Adonai echad

Shema, Yisrael. The LORD our GOD is one.

Each of you has his or her own birthday when your friends and family celebrate the day you arrived to begin your life purpose in this world.  As we get older, most people instinctively sense a need to change or improve when celebrating their physical entrance into this earthly world (a.k.a. your birthday). 

The same is true on Rosh Hoshana. Except it is our collective soul birthday/anniversary.  However, it would be more accurate to say that it marks 5783 years from the initial date of captivity.  

It's when Adam and Eve were given flesh garments and evicted from the Garden of Eden. It's also the season the Jews descended into Egypt (slavery). 

Rachel wept (as did all the matriarchs) during this season for their children from the upper realms. After all, they taught their children Torah yet they failed to adhere to the warnings.

Rosh Hoshana is called Yom Teruah in the Bible which literally means "day of shouting, noise  or blasting." Can you imagine those ancient mamas screaming and crying for their babies not to head in the wrong direction? 

Rosh Hoshana was initially Resh Hosanna (Hoshianna in Hebrew) which means "please save us from wickedness". That is what they shouted upon realizing their new environment. 

They didn't take God's Laws seriously. That was a mistake.

Trust what they (Matriarchs) know to be true. Don't get hypnotized by promises of power, wealth, celebrity, position etc. 

This is especially so if it compromises your values. God will provide a way.

Why is this so important today? Because like Adam and Eve, humanity is at a crossroads. 

Will we allow ourselves to give up our God given right to think and choose for ourselves? Or will we be lulled to sleep by partaking in mass vaccination experiments, easy opiod and marijuana access, chronic gambling (sports, lottery and otherwise), mindless video binge watching, voluntarily "sacrificing" our own children via abortions and sloppy online dating etc. 

God is a great matchmaker by the way. You'll be guided to someone with whom you can and will grow while still finding each other attractive. It will last too. That surprises most people. 

I know all of this is hard to digest at first. I do apologize if I have offended anyone. 

But you can review it all for yourself. In fact, you should.

Adam and Eve were like God. They could see the long term results from their decisions. The had full access to their Inner God Teacher (a.k.a. intuition).

You do too. Rosh Hoshana marks 5783 years since Adam, Eve, you and me traded God as our inner King and Teacher for the serpent/idol. In modern terms, the serpent said "See. Your phone or laptop operates just fine on its own battery. You don't need that Charger. 

Free up. Move on. Have fun!

Do I need to further explain? You know what happens. 

Besides, we all know the earth is way older than 5783 years. But that's for another day. This is already exasperating. 

I felt the same as many of you when I was made aware. We've all got a lot to learn. So don't feel embarrassed.

Well, there's good news. It's not over. But it can be for some of you.😊

It is a time (season) for all of us to reflect on how far we have come as a people. Let's call it a mid term exam.

What have we learned? We must we correct? How can we improve?

God hates stagnation. But don't compare yourself to others. Each person must self-assess. 

Notice how you become super-sensitive as to what you have or have not accomplished since your last birthday? Notice how you start to set super goals? (lose weight, new mate, get married, new home, financial goals, new career etc.)

You crave alignment with your true and authentic self. It's a time when many of you make BIG changes in your life. If not now, when? 

That's what many say to themselves. It's no coincidence. 

Your spirit guide (we are each assigned an Angel to help us) nudges you. You suddenly have a  LOUD inner knowing that says, you can do it. Go for it!

Well, it is true. God does come around on your birthday to see what you have learned or accomplished since the previous year. 

Your good and sincere efforts are usually blessed and your complacency is punished mostly by feelings of failure. You know instinctively to try again for next year.

Rosh Hoshana is the same, BUT BIGGER.  Just as humanity makes all these ridiculous goals at the beginning of the pagan new year, January 1 often with little change, Rosh Hoshana is the collective promise. Truth be told, the Sabbath Day is holier. 

What have we learned since the fall of the Garden of Eden?

That's pretty big. Right? What have WE LEARNED since the beginning of the fall? 

Have we learned our lesson? That should keep you busy the rest of your life. Truly. 

Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter. 

We even called Autumn "the fall season" so we would remember. And we still forgot!

Remember? Just say, "YES I REMEMBER" by faith. At least until you do. It will all make sense as you gradually or suddenly awaken to the truth.

These quarterly/ seasonal "check ins" (every week if you honor the Sabbath) are meant to help guide, heal, restore and develop us (collectively and individually) step by step. Is it a time of judgement? In a sense, yes. 

 I call it a "self-assessment". It is for your own personal growth if you use it wisely.

God is less interested in our ceremonies, which is more ritualistic, than our own collective and personal development.  Not only should you be interested in your own personal development (on your birthday and every day you wake up) but you should also be very interested in the overall development of your brothers and sisters (humanity's birthday/anniversary, Rosh Hoshana) - the collective soul.

LOVE your neighbor as yourself.

Elul is a season to  re-align with God. Every day is a good day to do so. It's just more accessible (easier) during certain times of the year. 

Idk. Something about those moon cycles I guess. 

Alas, when we know that we have a "divine appointment" much like a regular doctor's appointment - but with far greater impact / consequences - we know that we are all accountable. We should prepare. 

We are also more inclined to encourage one another to improve. This is especially so if our neighbors' actions help determine if the lights stay on or not. Right?

"Am I my brother's keeper?" I don't know. You tell me.

Your right arm cares about your left arm. Your nose cares about your eyes. Your heart cares about your head. Your body is beautifully and intricately woven together and so is the collective soul which has been mostly neglected since the first "birthday" (anniversary really) which started at the beginning of the fall from the Garden of  Eden. That's when "time" was invented.

You can not measure the Eternal which is our true nature. But you can start counting from the beginning  of Genesis which is the beginning of the delusion of our "separateness."

In a sense,  it is more important than ever to love your neighbor as yourself. The restoration or destruction of our existence depends upon it. The collective soul will decide its own outcome based upon our willingness to participate in our own healing.

When we each see the entire planet as our (current) neighborhood, and realize the " forthcoming shift" will either be an upgrade or otherwise, people will take on more responsibility to ensure the best outcome for said, "collective neighborhood". 

If you like a beautiful home, start cleaning. Begin with your self. Pray.

Repent of your own mis-deeds and that includes poor/divisive/destructive/perverse thoughts. You can also repent for the errors of your parents and theirs especially if they passed them on to you. 

You are still accountable for keeping them as adults or releasing them (bad thoughts, habits, traditions). But the LORD will no longer punish you for your parents mis-deeds - just your own. (See Ezekiel 18:1-3 and Jeremiah 31:29)

Ask God how you can improve yourself and fulfill your own purpose. Then begin to love your neighbor by making charitable deeds a new way of life on purpose. 

Do this daily if you can. And you really can do this. So can your children. Teach them kindness, love, respect, good deeds (charity).

Train up a child in the way they should go. When they grow old they will not depart from it.

Every act of kindness is a super mitzvah (good deed/healing act) for all creation.  Every one and anyone

can and should participate. 

Start by sharing this blog post. A "divine orchestra" helped me write it for which I am as always grateful.

Every act of kindness (no matter how small or large) matters. Yes, the King is in the field. God is watching. 

Your life and that of your neighbor(s) depends upon it. Get started. Don't ever stop. 

Remain optimistic. Bless others and be blessed.

You'll be amazed at your personal life and that of the world around you this time next year. Jerusalem.

Redefining and Refining the Mission for a new New Year

Why do Jews celebrate the New Year in the Autumn? (see previous post) And what does any of this have to do with you, me, and the entire world? Everything!

Most of you will go to Psalm 90. Don't...at least not now. It's actually Psalm 91 you'll want to read and meditate on for awhile. Trust.

As I told many of you in My Love is One (those willing to admit you read it) Moses is fine. He merited to ascend to Israel. But he's still not ok with the fact that others did not. 

He is still working out his tikkun. So is King David. If the Lord wills, I will explain in the 3rd edition of the book. 

So what's going on? Each person must merit this privilege on his or her own.

However, it's facilitated by helping others. 

This world (as we know it) has an expiration date. The lease is up. But it's not like you imagine.

There is no waste. We're in the midst of a major renovation.

It's like getting a new roof on your house.  But our new roof is a new heavenly floor. I won't explain.

For now,  suffice it to say, your good thoughts and actions/deeds are like earning prize tickets at the County Fair. Get enough tickets and you'll earn  BIG PRIZES.

Your children can participate. In fact, it's highly recommended they do. I will elaborate in next post.

The last time this happened they (youth) were the ones that made it through. You know the saying, "Raise up a child in the way they should go and when they grow up they will not depart from it."

Meanwhile, it's not Psalm 90 Moses and the LORD want you to read today. But rather, study the Hebrew letter, Tsade (Tsadik), which has the gematria of 90. 

See what I mean? You need a guide to get there. 

I did. I still do.

I just happen to know the Best. Soon, you will too.

Why am I helping you "cheat" on your "final exam"? First of all, I really gave people the notes in My Love is One. 

Yes, I'm still editing the final revised edition. 🙄 Help me LORD. These posts should help you all meanwhile.

Many people approached the book, My Love is One improperly. I scratched, cut, and, paste my precious notes together quickly to help you and others like you. (I also thought He was coming in 2018). 

But it (the book) was received wrong. Thus, like Moses, the LORD knows your thoughts better than I. And just like then, the LORD listened to the "bar room" chatter. 

Everything was put on pause. "Wait and see." That's where it stands. It's been four years. But who's counting? 

Instead of telling Moses what I told you, the LORD simply said (I paraphrase), "Check out your 'friends'. They're building and bowing to a golden calf. "

That's still relevant by the way. There is a reason the events of 9/11 occurred on Wall Street. 

The LORD had Moses go back and see the truth. He was out of alignment and so was the Hebrew nation.

The LORD encouraged Moses to restore his relationship/ marriage with Sephora, his wife. He had divorced her before ascending the mountain the first time siting he could not be committed to her and the LORD. 

The LORD gently corrected him. He also had to deal with Aaron who did not uphold the mission by participating in the idol worshipping. 

He transferred leadership to Joshua. Then he (Moshe) could ascend the mountain again for the second set of tablets. 

There's a major lesson in there. I hope you see it.

We should all be paying attention. The Torah is always relevant. Most people read it too fast. 

The Holy Spirit will leap off the pages if you sit and "soak it in." There is no need to fear if you know God loves you. It's true.

Most importantly, your lack of faith delays Moshiach/Messiah.  You must first acknowledge (at minimum) your desire to know the true and living God (Creator) for yourself. That's the true Teacher. It's personal. 

Then, in spite of all appearances, trust GOD. (economy, health, relationships etc... everything). That was the last message. Listen to God's Voice. 

Reading the Tenach (Old Testament of the Bible) helps you "tune in" to God's frequency. 😍 Do it daily. 

Psalms and Proverbs are very helpful to align yourself to divine wisdom. Afterall,  this is the season of re-aligning (restoration /returning to God's ways) for those who are off track. 

Read Psalm 15 and Ezekiel 20:40-44 for further edification. Rabbis may also want to read Ezekiel 45.

Watch My Love is One TELL THEM! There's no catch. The tickets are free. 

However the payoff is great. Tell others. Earn points.  Yes. Really. It's a mitzvah.
