Rosh Chodesh Adar: What is Hidden becomes Revealed!
Esther concealed her identity (Esther 2:10).Concealment and hiddenness has a holy root. As women we have been made to feel like our hiddenness is a negative trait. The greatest of women in the Torah had much to hide, secrets upon secrets. We demand our rights, and demand to be heard, and what has that gotten us. We lost our sovereignty, we gained brazenness, braun and external attributes that have not served our Soul Mission which is the silent, contemplative, modest and wise Oracle inside us. There is nothing wrong with the externalized feminine but she is more destructive than the masculine when she is not in balance with her true inner self. We see that Esther, the Queen of Our Time, and the One to Emulate in our Life, was a 'hidden women' and she hid her true self on purpose for the sake of something very big..... Redemption! You know a mind that is silent and still has much time to contemplate and think about how to proceed in perilous situations. We live in those perilous times now. You see in movies the oracles are always inside their tents, reclusive dedicated to contemplation and meditation.... this is for a reason. When we have this stillness and seclusion we learn how to effectively guide our life and even world events in a way that is good for all. Kind of like a captain of a ship, he must use his intellect, intuition and his higher connections to guide the ship safely to its destiny. We have that ability! Esther never left her ‘place’ in her palace, everything she did was in a hidden, concealed state. She was not only able to lead her People to redemption she simultaneously with a one-two-punch re-inverted the evil Ha-Man, who in a great paradox hung his own self on the very ‘tree’ that he had built to hang ‘Mordecai’ who by the way is Yesod Abba for those who know. This is a tale of Yesod Abba and the Great Daughter in secret! It is also the only Torah story that HaShem’s name is not mentioned one time, but if you look it is there! It is hidden. The 10 chapters in the Megillah are equal to the 10 sephirot which makes up the Name Code of G-d itself.

I often think of R. Akiva laughing when he saw the fox coming out of the Holy of Holies. He knew that if THAT prophesy had come to fruition, that it meant that the other ones would too. Some days, this is the one idea that keeps me centered in this chaos.
My thought's this morning...
I was thinking about Epstein....we have been slowly getting this unveiling of this very deep evil and occult that has pervaded our world....in this Torah portion it is all about laws being made to create "Justice in the World". One thing that is really disturbing is seeing that no matter how much they show us and how evil it is, justice does not look like it is being served. No one is truly being 'indicted' or 'held accountable' for their actions...what gives! The Sages tell us during this time that 'evil' will be seen explicitly and there will be revelations of how the world itself is built and runs on the occult! We will be shocked to say the least! We have alot of power as humans so let's exert it! Desire justice...the Power Word on the street this week....JUSTICE! May it be done.. :) Shalom everybody!

Sometimes the only comfort I get about this is the idea that evil has to fully blossom and ripen before the Holy One cuts it down. Unfortunately, we have to watch this process in all its gory details. This is why Chazal said that they didn't want to be here at the revelation of the Mashiach. And from one perspective you could say, that our 'reward' for having to endure this soul wrenching time, is that we will SEE that revelation from a totally unique vantage point.

Where did you see Chesed today in your Life?

In the few minutes that I was driving from one errand to another today, I was listening to a recording of a lesson from R. Akiva Tatz. At one point, I almost had to pull over because he said something so profound. This IS a Chesed to me, that even in the midst of the mundane chores of life, Torah can flood in and remind us why we are REALLY here!
Grateful to be here
How do we communicate effectively the Torah ideas, ways of thinking, learning, and experiencing we accumulate as we grow closer to Hashem and His Torah? Many of us here, if not all of us have learned many advanced ways of thinking about Torah and the world we live in that traditionally took many decades of not a whole lifetime of study. This knowledge base is often not well suited to most of the people we encounter day to day and is a relief and joy to have a place where it is appropriate and applicable to share our Torah journey. Thank you for inviting me

I hope we can use this space to its full potential! Just learning all the possible avenues to explore is going to take a little time!
Power Thought
"My heart is wide open today, and I let myself follow what feels natural and true, trusting that what’s meant for me will fall into place when the timing is right." So many times we despair over what we desire and that it has not manifest. Many today share with me their stories of feeling 'stuck.' A generation of humans that have awakened and have a deep desire to help humanity at large and leave the old systems and ideologies behind. They are looking for the new systems to work and create in and those system are not yet in place. I liken it to being 'trapped' between two worlds. The old world order is falling apart and the new world order is beginning but it seems so far away. We hear a bit of this in the terms in Torah called "Olam HaZeh and Olam HaBah" the world that we are in now and the world that is coming in (Olam HaBah). All that to say, because we fell 'stuck' we must take that as a sign to get 'unstuck.' Energetically we need to 'open the heart.' This allows us to 'recieve' the Light of the Creator so that we can begin moving again and begin creating the new system in our life now! So when you feel stuck, take some time for yourself and for HaShem and do this simple act....(1) goto give Tzadaka. (2) Hold your hand over your heart and say "Open My heart so I can see wonders from Your Torah" or just "Open my heart to receive your Light." Say this several times. We probably all need to do this daily! Shalom!

That line from the 119th psalm is a powerful prayer!
