Daily Tune-Up Daily Tune-Up by Yehuda Bergby Yehuda Berg

Contract with God

The contract we made with God in the Endless world was that we could only receive Light if we are the cause of revealing Light, if we are the cause of creating a better reality. This means that no matter how bad the situation is, we have the power to make it better. Right now.

 

No Bad Experiences

The loving force of the Creator is always found at the center of painful situations. The only thing stopping us from knowing it is the belief system that we did something wrong, that we are going through a bad experience. There is no bad experience, only tests. What is a test? God’s way of teaching us how to choose love over worry, so we can experience more miracles.

 

Nothing Is Ours

The founder of The Kabbalah Centre, Rav Ashlag, explains in his introduction to Ten Luminous Emanations, “Nothing in this world is really ours. Even if we work for something, what we receive as a result is not really a possession… We should see everything in this world as if it came from heaven.”

Jumping for Joy

Suppose we received $1 million every time we embraced an obstacle and changed our reactive behavior. How would we spend each day? Waking up every morning searching out all the problems we could think of. Instead, what do we do when a crisis strikes? We’ve been programmed to avoid and react. Let’s dedicate ourselves to jumping for joy at the opportunity to confront challenges because it would means cold cash in our pocket, spiritually speaking.

More the Merrier

Injecting Spiritual Sanity

Spiritual short-circuits are the root cause behind all the negative feelings that occur in our lives. It is the absence of Light when it is cut off in response to our reactive behavior. In truth, restriction allows our body and soul to feel satiated, in a balanced way. We all face tough decisions every day. Do we continue reacting to all the external stimuli coming at us from every direction, or do we stop the reactions and inject a little bit of spiritual sanity into our behavior patterns?

Great Sacrifice

All of the life-changing secrets that you and I learn as students of Kabbalah originate from the wisdom revealed in the Zohar by the great teacher and sage Rav Shimon Bar Yochai. Next Thursday, we celebrate his death anniversary on Lag B’Omer, which means this coming week we can all connect with the essence of Rav Shimon — by really applying the lessons he taught and tapping into the power he made available for each of us.

Ticket to Heaven

Lasting Happiness

What makes someone happy?

Most of us think that those who can get what they want in life are happy – and from this belief we conclude that people with power or money or influence must be living the high life! Yet if we look more closely, we can see that often that the wealthiest people can be lost, bitter, and unfulfilled.

This is an indication of how superficial our perspective on happiness really is. Just because a person has lots of physical things does not mean he or she has lasting happiness.

Battle In Mind

The biggest battles in human history have been waged in the mind. Negative forces target our mind, for that is where we are most vulnerable. It is our thoughts that motivate us into command post. Lose control of the command post, and we lose the war. When we can learn to distinguish which thoughts are from the Light and which thoughts originate from darkness, we can reclaim control over our lives. P.S. Here is a hint on how to tell the difference. Any thought that is loud, crystal clear, urging us to react to a situation, we can be sure it’s the music of chaos.
