Weekly Kabbalah Tune: Keep climbing
8 to May 14, 2011
previously wrote that the seven weeks after Pesach is a difficult time. During the past three weeks, we have been challenged by the view, disagreement and discussion. Clearly we have work to do.
Last week began the month of Taurus. We are now starting to have an illusory sense of relief, a sensation that could not come at a worse time. Those of you born under the sign of Taurus (or close to someone who did), know how great they can be. Friends dedicated, hardworking employees and loyal companions, often like beautiful things and often convey a sense of peace. But hidden within this nice package is one of the thicker drapes that hide the light, not only for the Taurus, but for all of us.
This curtain is called complacency. Complacency is when we look back and appreciate how much we have changed. Of course it's important to get results, we assess what is working or not. The catch is that once we climbed a steep hill, we tend to sit down and enjoy the view. While enjoying the view is nice, the more we sit there, the more difficult it is to gain momentum to keep climbing.
Many people who are on a spiritual path are faced with the false perception that the work they are doing is enough. Enough to keep them protected, safe and illuminated. But every spiritual attainment just there to project to the next level. To grow spiritually is like climbing an escalator going down, if not move forward, we slip back.
During this particular month, we feel that the light is always on. Because of this illusion, most of us spend this month back, only to awaken and be aware of it four weeks later, when you start the sign of Gemini.
Shavuot, which takes place in the month of Gemini is the moment when the light turns TRUE. And if you are waiting for our spiritual work, we risk finding ourselves in a spiritual basement, surrounded by boxes of old habits and covered with cobwebs of negative patterns.
So what's the antidote?
note areas of my life where I feel complete. And there, under the guise of spiritual perfection, in the sense of "all clear", hides the ego.
When we find these pitfalls of complacency, and become proactive steps towards the achievement of self-transformation, we can achieve growth are tremendous.
Remember that these are the days of smallness, and a kilogram of effort during these seven weeks is equivalent to 100 kilos of growth during any other time of year.
So, this week, seeking the darkness. When you see yourself resting your feet on the table and saying, "Yes, I've achieved," stop and search where you hide your trash.
Talk to your teacher and ask him to show you what you need to change, where you can push a little more.
All the best, Yehuda
