QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM G-D – Part 3
ABOUT MY COUNSELING APPROACHES
1) SPIDER CHARTING
Dear G-d,
How far can I take the idea of Spider charting?
A spider chart is when you draw a little circle, and
then you draw lines coming out of it, out from the edges of the circle. Inside
the circle represents your question, and each line leads to an answer provided
by your associative mind.
You don’t really have to think about this, since it’s your
associated mind. You just want to write the first thing that comes to your
mind, and then another thought and another thought. What happens is that each
of these ideas leads to more ideas stored in your library-like brain.
I’ve gotten a lot of mileage by using spider charts over the
years, for myself and for other people. It’s really useful for getting answers,
and for getting a lot of information quickly. But I’m wondering just how far I
can take this idea. How far can I tap into people’s associative minds? Where
can this ultimately lead? Please give me a vision, a perspective on where this
can lead.
Dear Yitzchak,
Like any spiritual or physical exercise, it perpetuates
itself. The more you do it, the better it is. You are tapping into your
intelligence in a way that is opening up associative ideas that are like a
wellspring. The greatest thinkers, the greatest sages have been people who are very
clear and aware about the depth and breadth of their knowledge, such that you
can mention one idea to them and another 20, 30 or 40 ideas immediately come to
mind, shedding light on the original idea.
Where this can lead, the sky is the limit. The more you do
it, the more you’ll get instant access and you’ll become an overflowing
wellspring. I suggest you practice by reviewing the knowledge and information
from your learning explorations, and then set up a column next to these ideas
for all the associative ideas that come to your mind.
Who knows? Maybe you’ll get to the point one day when
the only books and research you need to connect to are those of your own mind.
2) BODY/SPIRIT
Dear G-d,
I have recently worked with people to heal and understand
their spirits, their souls, their beings, based on what their body is telling
them. And it also works the other way around, too. People can have insights
about their bodies based on what their souls are telling them as well.
I use what I call Sefirotic Alignment Therapy, where one
application is to look at the pain or the reality in the person’s body and then
to find the coordinate in the Sefirotic Chart. Then they can take upon themselves
to balance, adjust or align the situation in their lives.
I know that in the world of massage and touch certain areas
of the head or the back or other parts of the body are connected to certain
parts of the soul, and the massage or the touch causes an effect. Especially if
the person has distinct mindfulness that corresponds to the affected body part
then there can be incredible openness and healing involved.
How reliable is this correspondence between body and spirit?
Dear Yitzchak,
I created the human being in the image of G-d, so to speak.
On a simple level, the human image is basically the template of the universe.
Everything has a beginning, a middle and an end, or head, a body and feet. The
human image has right-center-left, it has male/female, and everything in
Creation is an expression of that template.
The body/soul connection is like a human image within a
human image. So, as you well know, from your bodies you can see your souls; you
can see your G-dliness, your Divine Template. (I’m talking about human bodies
here, because I AM beyond your fathoming and there is no body involved.)
So, I AM telling you yes, the spirit is in coordination with
the body, and the body with the spirit. By tapping into either one you tap into
the other.
You already have different practices and approaches to accomplish
both, such as your Musical Mystical Meditations where you take an idea and you
meditate on it, deeply, with music, with emotion and with passion. You tap into
the essence of it, and the same thing applies to the soul as it applies to the
body. You can find a coordinate and meditate on it to deeply heal that
coordinate. You have many ways of doing this.
I will say this, according to the level of a person’s
purity and soul level, that’s how effectively they can heal, or align or awaken
the body through the soul or the soul through the body. That purity, that soul
level, that spirituality level is what determines how effective this person
will be, the person’s ability to see the coordinates. It defines their ability
to project and to heal that coordination.
3) YISSASCHAR/ ZEVULUN ARRANGEMENT
Dear G-d,
There is a mutual relationship between a Torah learner and
the person who is supporting that Torah in the form of a contractual agreement,
a win-win agreement, not 5/50 but 100/100, whereby the Torah learned with the
support of the Zevulun ,the supporter,
will be shared 100%. All the benefits in the present and in the future are
absolutely shared. There is a huge list of benefits that can be shared this way
between two people.
My experience has been that people don’t really get this
idea. It is very foreign idea, and most people simply think of it as charity.
In a sense it is charity, but it is actually ‘way beyond charity because it is
not a one-way street, it is completely mutual. The learner can look straight
into the eyes without any embarrassment because he is providing an incredible
service for the supporter.
How can a person like me, interested in taking my learning
to a whole new level, and needing support to accomplish that, overcome the
prejudice that a Zevulun, fully mutual supporter might have?
Dear Yitzchak,
You understand very well that for such an arrangement to
work it is not simply a matter of putting the word out and whoever jumps on it
gets it. The person who gets to share your most precious possessions, your time
and your wisdom, in the day-to-day energy of their world, is like being
involved in a matchmaking arrangement.
This person needs to be your bashert in this realm, your
other half, someone destined to be a partner with you. This, as you know, is
not a simple matter, and it depends on their Divine Providence as well as your
own, and how the twain shall meet. They need merits, as do you. They need
merits as regards their behavior, of their level of their soul at this time of
life, and of their purity level, and all these things apply to you as well.
What I can tell you, Yitzchak, is not to take it in the
wrong way. This is a very deep, Divine partnership we are talking about. But
what you can do is to toss it up to me to take care of it, with clarity, with
certainty, with belief and trust, that it will come true, that it will unfold
itself. As you’ve seen in many other co-creations of this sort, it will happen.
4) RESTORE THE GLORY
Dear G-d,
Recently a friend of mine reported to me about an amazing
self-growth meditation seminar that he and other esteemed individuals attended.
The teacher was a real expert in communicating very deep Kabbalistic,
Chassidic, Torah ideas that were translated and crafted into life-changing
meditations, and his presentation was filled with authentic sources citing
where he got the ideas.
My friend commented, being a very worldly person, and said
he’d seen all this before, but that this seminar was decorated with the same
deep ideas but with Torah sources. He got to a place, which I’ve heard so many
times before, that when you go deep with Jewish mysticism what’s revealed is
that area where all mysticisms meet, meaning they are all basically saying the
same thing.
Dear G-d, I’ve heard this line for many, many years now, and
my question to you is this – if we go so deep with our own Jewish mysticism,
and the deepest we get is the same point that all the other mysticisms reach,
how are we supposed to be a light unto the nations? How are we supposed to be a
chosen people, the teachers and enlighteners of humanity? Other traditions all
say the same thing, too.
Dear Yitzchak,
I promised through the message of all of the prophets that
there will come a time when all of humanity will see that you, My People, are a
light unto the nations, and you are THE teachers with THE message. And all
others, with the depth of their wisdom, which they truly have, and with their
enlightenment, which they truly have, will see that your light is one to lead
their lives.
My hope is that we don’t have to wait until that designated
time comes. My hope is that a person like yourself, Yitzchak, one who is a
natural bridge person, whom I have blessed and gifted with the tools, the
sensitivities, the background, the meditations, the experiences and the wisdom,
will be able to see what opens people up and show them how the real light is
coming, the real enlightenment is coming from the authentic teachings.
I bless you that you’ll go deeper and deeper and broader and
broader into your teachings, and that you’ll be able to see how every one of
these teachings is a unique light, a light that leads other lights.
5) LOWER SELF
Dear G-d,
Between the New Year and The Day of Judgment each year there
are ten days of Tshuva where we see ourselves and you see us. The more we can
bring to the table and see ourselves, the more ready we are for that day, and
the better use we can make of our potential and to see what we can make happen.
There is a concept called Lower Self, a concept I’ve been
exposed to that describes not what we should be doing in life, but what we
could be doing. It’s more like a child inside ourselves, not necessarily the
Evil Inclination to go against the will, but just that part of ourselves that wants
to have fun, to be done with things, to just abandon ourselves to love and life
and living.
I’ve learned techniques to integrate that part into myself
in ways that are healthy for both the Lower and the Upper parts of myself. How
can I avoid fooling myself when I think I’m integrating these things in a
healthy way, and keep from accidentally falling down to a lower level?
Dear Yitzchak,
You have a mantra in life, and it’s called Perfect AS-IS.
When you use that mantra and understand that everything with all the
imperfections included, all of the Lower Self failings call to mind all of the
imperfections, and allow them to show their faces instead of remaining hidden
from sight.
Do that meditation, do that mantra, bring up all the Lower Self,
not-so-flattering aspects of your being and integrate them as you will. Accept
them, don’t struggle with them to begin with, and then in an objective way,
choose what works and what doesn’t quite work, and needs some adjustment in
order to fit into the busy life that you and other people live now.
What I’m saying to you, Yitzchak, is this – bring them all
up, put them on the table, and then one-by-one sort them out, doing repentance
for those that are wrong, or integrating in the right way those that are
empowering.
