Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to all my friends here. These videos are from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and the tomb of the Baal Shem Tov in Ukraine Despite all the darkness and confusion in the world these days, it’s important to always trust in God’s master plan. No matter how bad it gets, know that tribulations are orchestrated from above for our own good in the grand scheme of soul’s growth throughout eternity. The key to healing pain does not occur by camouflaging ourselves with anything but rather by transmuting our pain into purpose and redirection. If we have blockages, they’re usually there for a reason. There is a Divine Order to all occurrences and nothing is by accident. The blueprint of our lives were written in our souls long before we were born, and so too, the journey of mankind, it’s wars, it’s great accomplishments and it’s self destruction was also written. What are we going to do about it is what will determine the outcomes of our great destiny. Here’s some wise words from Hermes Trismegistus of ancient Egypt. “Light and Darkness are poles of the same thing, with many degrees between them. The scale of color is the same-higher and lower vibrations being the only difference between high violet and low red. Large and Small are relative. So are Noise and Quiet; Hard and Soft follow the rule. Likewise Sharp and Dull. Positive and Negative are two poles of the same thing, with countless degrees between them. Good and Bad are not absolute--we call one end of the scale Good and the other Bad, or one end Good and the other Evil, according to the use of the terms. The master will see that these states are all matters of degree, and seeing thus, he will be able to raise or lower the vibration at will--to change his mental poles, and thus be Master of his mental states, instead of being their servant and slave. And by his knowledge he will be able to aid his fellows intelligently and by the appropriate methods change the polarity when the same is desirable.” I posted this on Christmas and Chanukah because I believe understanding this can be our greatest gift. #merrychristmas #happyhanukkah
