The Light wants to flow into your life and to fill all your black holes. But you need to invite it in. You can do this by asking for help. You don't have to be a master Kabbalist to communicate with the Light. The Light doesn't care that you are saying the words correctly - all you need to do is reach out.
It's like a toddler speaking his first words to his parents. Even though he can't speak well, they are still delighted when he asks for something. Remember, the Creator created us so that we could be fulfilled. We need to take those baby steps.
Today, talk to the Light. What issues are you struggling with? What relationships are troubling you? What big decision is looming? Call out in your mind and ask for signs, messages, and guidance. Learning how to ask is the first step in receiving messages from above.

one hand, one heart
the first time Lisa Greenfield read my palm, i barely knew her, but the insight she had into me, my life and history made it clear to me that she knew what she was talking about. in the years since that first reading, we have become dear friends -- we were once nearly roommates -- and i have been gifted not only by her friendship, but also with her in depth astrological and tarot readings.
Lisa has recently taken her passion and talent as a palmist and astrologer to the next level with the debut of Truth in Hand, a palm reading website that gives u your own glimpse into reading your own palm! i used it 2 decode my own palm this weekend, and reported back to Lisa that it is "laugh out loud accurate!" check it out, you might be surprised what u see!

u can be the president
on January 31, i did something i had not done since 1991 -- supported a Presidential campaign with my money. when i donated to Barack Obama, i became one of 250,000 individuals to donate in JANUARY alone. i agree with this:
This milestone will be a clear signal to those who rely on donations from Washington lobbyists and spending from outside special interests to support their campaigns that we are a movement of people who stand for real change.
i have never been inspired by a living politician until now and 2morrow i will cast my first vote 4 Obama to be the next President of the United States. i invite u to do the same. check out the NY Times almost endorsement.
slight correction: in my Obama/Kennedy post last week, i stated the following:
i met Caroline at a book signing for the Patriot's Handbook and i was more starstruck than when I met Wendy, Lisa, or Prince.
okay, after serious reflection, i admitted to myself i've never been more starstruck than meeting my 3 lifelong music idols -- Prince when i worked at Paisley Park in 2001, Wendy & Lisa at the Family Jamm in 2003. so i more accurately say, i was AS starstruck as when i met W, L & P -- but way moreso than meeting Ben, Jen, or Christian. :)

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4
Rav Ashlag taught that being around people with bigger desires for growth, transformation and Light helps us to reach beyond our own limited desires.
Today is the perfect day to look at the types of people you surround yourself with. Are they helping your growth? Or hindering it? What actions can you take to surround yourself with positive, spiritual people?
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3
The Zohar teaches there are three ways to learn our lessons in life:
Concealed – the voice within awakens us (least painful)
Friends – a friend awakens us (moderately painful)
Revealed – an external situation awakens us (most painful)
When a person is not hearing the warning voice from within, it is the responsibility of a friend to positively confront them with love. This prevents the other person from having to learn the lesson in a more painful manner.
In real relationships in our life we need to be able to awaken others - from a place of caring – and we need to be able to withstand it when they awaken us.
Focus on one of your close relationships today and find one area where the person needs awakening. The question to ask before saying a single word is:
“do I really want the other person to grow…or is this area just bothering me?”
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2
A great kabbalist once asked his students, "Where does God live?" They quickly answered, "God lives everywhere." But he would not accept their answer. He taught them, "God lives wherever man lets him in."
The Light created you so it could share with you. In other words, you are loved. All you need to do is open your heart, think about others, and do the uncomfortable. That's not too much to ask, is it? I know, I know, easier said than done.
Today, give out some love – and let the Light in.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1
Sarcasm, jitters, cigarettes, drugs, candy, tantrums, silent-treatment, yawning, yelling, obsessing, cheating – these are some of the wonderful ways we run from our pain.
As I wrote recently, the only to get to heaven is to go through hell. It means continuing to disengage from the delusion of the ego by facing the pain head on – whatever your pain may be. It's the only way to find reality underneath.
In what way are you hiding from reality?

All giving is not good. Consider this statement from the Rav:
"We must investigate our motivations for sharing. For example, you want to give to your child, but you might want to do so for your own sake rather than hers. So you smother her with goodness. It's true that you are sharing your energy, but you are potentially destroying the child. Even though you are sharing something good, giving can have a bad side if there is an exaggerated discharge of energy.
Occasionally my ego may tell me that if I give to someone I will be able to control that person, and this becomes the solitary reason for giving. Then the person becomes dependent upon me. True sharing must be balanced."
Answer these questions today:
Is my sharing balanced?
With whom am I sharing selfishly?
