not christian, but that, I believe, is OK, as there will be other occasions on which Bible and Christianity will be recalled), and can serve as an openning for what is to come, as it, presently, summs up quite well where I am "coming from" and - where I want to "arrive":

One of The Kabbalah Centre's teachers shared with me this week the following quandary:
Let's say you've really been going against your nature in a particular area of life: Restriction, self-control, whatever you want to call it. And then, let's say, you lose control, short-circuit, give in to your selfish desires. How far back do you fall? Back to the beginning of when you started restricting? Or just a little ways back?

It’s a great question. And the answer lies in another kabbalistic saying:
greater than the 'sin' itself is the sin of guilt.

When a person makes a mistake in judgment - hurts, cheats, lies, steals, etc - the negative action takes but a few seconds or minutes. The guilt however, the self-deprication and bad memories can last a lifetime. And while it’s vital to the correction process to feel pain about our misdeeds, it is just as vital that we move on. Otherwise it’s like days, weeks, months or years of disconnect.

This week, use the energy of Chanukah (the holiday of miracles) to think about a past event that you're still berating yourself over. Imagine your life not without that event, but without the memory of that event. How would it change your story?

Most of us hold onto these memories, because in an unconscious way, we allow our past to define us.

I'm a divorcee.

I'm a Ph.D.

I'm a recovering bulemic.

I'm a former model.

I was on Star Search in 1988...

(This is the week to recognize the story in your life whose ending is long overdue. Use the Name below and the miraculous energy of the week to pick up the pieces and move on, once and for all.

72 Name of the Week - "SHIN - HET - HEY" (to be read from R to L / hebraic; wish I could copy the characters, too, but I cannot) = NO GUILT
I recall negative deeds from my past. I reflect on some of my more unpleasant traits. I feel the pain that I have caused others. I ask the Light to eradicate all my negative attributes. The force called repentance spiritually repairs my past sins and diminishes the dark side of my nature.)

So - what do you say?!?!
