In the Beginning
THE BIG IDEA
This week’s energy carries the ultimate reset. Trust that all the forgiveness and blessing that you brought down during this month’s spiritual cycle with your introspection, self evaluation, self adjustment, remorse, prayer and charity actually worked.
This Shabbat is a time to step into the energy of (re) creation. Flood your cells with the power of renewal. Imagine yourself a cell in the ADAM - the first human being created, the masculine and feminine being, created in the image of the divine, from which every single human emerges. Know this state of Oneness in your own body, and trust that all the pain that comes with the separation of gender has a purpose.
The Woman was the first to indulge desire and influence her male counterpart - the repercussions of which include desiring the other and struggling with imbalance in relational desire. The man took from the woman without questioning - the repercussion of his unconscious consumption was the burden and effort needed to produce.
This year, try keeping the cosmic adjustment project in front of you. Instead of getting frustrated and fighting the unconscious patterns you notice in your own behavior, try compassion and awareness for that ancient mission we are all working through.
And if there is any advice I can offer for going through this year with a grace - it is the Divine’s advice to Kain when he noticed Kain was upset about his offering being rejected.
