Many times, you think something, and then it happens. Almost everyone I know, admits to this. Some insist on calling it coincidence.

I have thought long about this, about whether you are anticipating and influencing the workings of your universe, or whether you are being shown, perhaps anticipating, what is yet to come.

As the Holy One is timeless, this can only come from Him. We are like lightning rods, in a way - The physical channel within which He works in this physical world, thereby revealing Himself and His Power to us.

It thus becomes easy to think about for me, when I recognize that the Holy One transcends the very time which He has created, so that the past, present, and future are all just Today, Now. Reply

More than thinking, my entire being exists requiring humanity will recover itself, because it is what I need, and so that someday people will stop being cruel, and I might realize that at least one person on earth recognizes me, and it still matters to me. Reply

How can I share with my niece who is Jewish but never entered into Juidism. She lost her son tragically and I can tell how hard for her to let go because she does not have wisdom of Torah in this subject
