QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM G-D
(about
my counseling approaches)
I am going to try something very different now, which is a
biographical, G-d counseling session.I’ll ask myself a question that’s
pertinent in my mind right now, that I’m personally dealing with or that I’m
helping others deal with. I’ll ask a question of G-d, and then I’ll have G-d
answer back what I think G-d would answer. We’ll try to do a few of these
questions now.
This is an exploration. I want to explore the use of a G-d
dialogue, which means I ask a question and then I put myself in the place of
G-d in order to answer my question. I’d like to explore some questions I have
in my present counseling work, real experiences that are going on now. I want
to know what G-d would say back to me, which is a very important thing to tap
into. It’s the inner G-d part of ourselves, the higher part of ourselves where
we get
internal guidance of the highest type. So, let’s begin:
1. MIRACLE-ING
Dear G-d,
I have been counseling people with a sort of leap of faith
and encouraging others to set aside their ideas about logical outcomes from
their actions in order to create a miracle. I say, “Whatever you want, let’s
declare it or create it or co-create it, and watch G-d bring it about,
unveiling a miracle in your life. You actively watch how this is happening
through the highlights of your life.”
A lot of times, people won’t think that a miracle is
something that they could manifest in their own strength. But, when I say, “We
are going to make a miracle,” most people are open to try it.
So, my question, G-d, is this – I know I’ve seen things
happen, amazing, miraculous things, but sometimes I get cold feet. I need to
convey clarity and confidence in what we are doing, long-term or short-term,
and I need to know how to convey them more effectively.
Dear Yitzchak,
I am glad you asked that question, because I want you to
know that what you are doing in utilizing this kind of strategy or approach
with people, as well as what you’re doing in using G-d dialogues, is that you are
bringing ME, G-d, into people’s lives in ways and in places where I AM normally
not found. That is, in itself, a very worthy thing to do, if not the whole
purpose of Creation.
So, you can rest assured that communicating like and
trusting in G-d, I WILL come through for you. To the extent that a person
trusts ME and trusts that I WILL actually make a miracle for him or her,
to the same extent miracles will happen.
I am happy to be working with you, partnering with you in
this very special endeavor. You don’t have to worry about a thing. Just trust
ME and I’ll take it from here.
2. REVERSE GRADUATION
SPEECH
Dear G-d,
In counseling people, I encounter those who have such
horrible, hopeless and depressing circumstances surrounding every aspect of
their lives, that I wonder how in the world I will be able to help them. And
what I’ve come up with recently is this rather new/old response called The
Reverse Graduation Speech. I help them understand that everything they are
suffering now is all a preparation for totally turning it around into a
positive way of seeing things. All the negativity is just a way of giving birth
to its opposite, a positivity in their lives. Anything negative will be turned
into positive. All they must do is to declare it and in doing so, co-create it.
This is a very difficult area to jump into, for me and my
credibility as a counselor, and for the people and their own life experiences
up until now. Would you give me some words of wisdom and some advice on how to
feel certain that we can truly succeed in doing this?
Dear Yitzchak,
I understand the trepidation that you feel in the process of
instantly changing, transforming and reframing people’s lives from what they
are familiar with, into the totally opposite dynamic.
But as I answered you in your previous question, I think the
whole thing is based on trust. To the extent that you trust ME, and the other
person trusts ME to watch miracles happen, to watch a total change happen, to
that extent it will happen.
I would suggest that you activate a Plan B and a Plan C, in
case that trust is not strong enough. For example, if things do not change in
the way or with the speed a person desires, what you could suggest is for that
person to give up the struggle and radically accept their particular life
situation. This is, in itself, a huge healing, and you will need to use your
wisdom to guide him or her through the acceptance.
Or, alternatively, you can convince a person how intolerable
a situation really is, in a very emotional way, until he/she tosses it
completely out of his /her life and a whole new way of living presents itself
to him.
Those are the options; they are Plan B and Plan C for you to
use. With enough trust, you can always go with Plan A.
3. BESHERT-ING
Dear G-d,
I am counseling women who are having a very, very difficult
time in finding their spouse, their intended, their beshert, the one who is
meant for them, their other half in life. Oftentimes, the women I am counseling
are reaching the age where the possibilities of them having children are very low.
Usually, the women I speak to have heard it all and tried it
all, as far as the pieces of advice I suggest to them. What would you suggest
as a way for me to keep their hopes alive and to genuinely help them manifest
their intended bashert in their lives?
Dear Yitzchak,
I’m so happy that you are asking me this question as well,
because what could be more important than helping a bride? That’s one of the
most important mitzvoth, an act of kindness, of Chesed that a person can do –
helping a bride to get married.
Here again, what’s most important is her trust that I AM
dealing with her situation, no matter how hopeless she seems to feel, and that
I have designated somebody for her and that what she needs to do is trust in
that truth.
What you need to do is to convince her to jump into the
realm of belief, and to have the faith that it will happen for her. Just use
the normal tools you use in making miracles happen in people’s lives, in order
to make the miracle happen in her life as well.
I want to remind you that you come from an illustrious
tradition of Patriarchs and Matriarchs that appeared to have no chance of
having children, particularly at advanced ages, and they all eventually did
have children because they looked to ME. With all their hearts, and all their
souls, and all their prayers and all their trust they looked to ME. That was
hard-wired into their blood and into their genes.
To the extent these women tap into the same, they will find
their intended and they will have children. I AM right there with you and with
her, each woman, in making the miracle happen for her.
4. TAPPING IN TO THE EXTRAORDINARY SIDE OF MOVING TO ISRAEL
Dear G-d,
I have a person who is thinking about making a move to come
to the Land of Israel, to live in the Land of Israel; he is thinking of making
aliyah. He has a rather large, young and growing family, and most of the people
that he had taken counsel from have told him that it’s fine for him if he were
single, but it will be very difficult to move all his kids because most of them
are younger than eight years, although there are some older kids.
He has an inner voice that is saying that for the sake of
his children, as well as his wife and himself, the ONLY place for them is the
Land of Israel. It’s an inner beckoning that he cannot get rid of, no matter
what any authority in his life tells him. I have been telling him natural-type
things, but I feel that he needs to hear things that are above nature,
supernatural advice. What is the best way I can approach this situation now?
Dear Yitzchak,
Thank you for that question as well. Moving to the Land of
Israel is a mitzvah. Moving to the Land of Israel is very difficult. It is
brought in my Torah that there are three things that come with suffering:
moving to the Land of Israel, Torah and receiving one’s share in the World To
Come.
So you see, it is very difficult. And, practically speaking,
once he has taken into consideration the needs, past, present and future of all
of his children, perhaps you can guide him to opening his eyes to the
extraordinary aspects of the Land of Israel, which, unlike other lands, does
not have a G-d which is hiding himself from people, but a G-d who is very much
there and present in every aspect in day-to-day reality.
If you can show that aspect of Israel, and open his eyes and
the eyes of his family, his wife and children, and show them that a person’s
well-being while living in Israel is totally dependent on the realization that
it is not about himself or herself at all, or their personal efforts to be
successful. It’s about how much they make themselves into Holy, G-d-connected
people.
Then, I don’t think they will have anything to worry about.
The Land of Israel, unlike any other land in the world, is purely miraculous,
purely supernatural and purely extraordinary. Things which are impossible
always become possible. But that is the ONLY way to realize their
well-being.
