falling in the right places

"If you fall in love with the past; you'll be full of anger and regret. if you fall in love with the future; you'll be full of fear & anxiety. If you fall in love with the present; you'll see the gift of life. Sometimes you fall and never get up; watch were you fall. You can't change the past; you didn't know any better. You can't predict the future; only God knows your destiny. Whatever you have in life at this moment; use the power of your mind to only focus on the positives. For negatives are bad photos; getting tossed out!"

ballerinas know all the right steps..

"I love watching ballerinas perform, every step, every move they take has so much meaning; a combination of strength and elegance. In life, we take new steps/risks everyday; may we understand the significance of our actions. Pursuing beauty in every stage/step of our life, the same way a ballerina does while performing on stage. Life is but a stage..."

words from Nicki Minaj...

She knows exactly what to say; do you? #Fly by Nicki Minaj:

"Everybody wanna try to box me in
Suffocating every time it locks me in
Paint their own pictures then they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins
Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl (guy.lol) that can ever be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation
#I #hear #the #criticism #loud #and #clear
#That #is #how #I #know #that #the #time #is #near
#So #we #become #alive #in #a #time #of #fear
And I ain't got no motherfucking time to spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me
But when you go hard your nay's become yay's
Yankee Stadium with Jay-Z and Kanye"

second set of tablets represents never giving up hope..


Moses and the Israelites receive the Torah (a complete understanding of reality) on Mount Sinai. soon after, the Israelites made a mistake and spiritually fell to the lowest of Levels. After spiritually falling (giving up all hope) the Israelites were given another chance but this time (Exodus 34:1) Gd said to Moses; "Carve yourself two tablets of stone". Teaching all of humanity that Gd blesses us with knowledge, wisdom, vision etc... but it's our responsibility to "carve out through action" the reality we want to experience in life.

Are shooting stars looking for love to? the poem

"Are shooting stars looking for love to?
Ignoring the skies turning them all blue,
Would you.. risk everything, for a dream that may not come true? So into you, never met you.. Oh well, maybe never will but still, I dreamed it, so it must be true; a mystery with no clues? So close to everything I've ever wanted, so far away from everything I once knew . Everyday is something new, ignoring the hellos and goodbyes from skies, turning them all blue. If you haven't guessed it; I'm the shooting star trying to find out, if what they say about love is true?"

dreaming of greatness for the future...

According to the sages dreams/ambitions are only showing us 1% of our destiny. Are your dreams only about you or for future generations? Rav Bar Kappara taught that every dream/ambition has a deeper meaning/a bigger picture ... stating "the latter" in Jacob’s (לעקוב) Dream (Genesis 28:12) symbolize a future stairway leading up to the altar of King Solomon's Temple. Teaching us, to Dream of greatness for our great great great great great great great grandchildren and beyond!

"God level"

Kanye West just released a new song called "God level" it's more of a advertisement for #Adidas then a commercial radio release. #KanyeWest's concept of "God level" reminds me of a #Midrash.... Rabbi Joshua ben Levi Todd taught that when Moses and the #Israelites reached the consciousness(perception of the world) level of Mount Sinai(Exodus 19:20). The Angels in the upper worlds became confused, asking God; "why do you have creatures born of a woman in our company?" God reply saying; "Moses had come to receive the #Torah". After hearing this the angels really started to flip out, saying to God; why are giving to the flesh and blood secret treasure that you've (Gd) had hidden for 974 generations before God created the world? As the angels said in #Psalm 8:8, "What is man, that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You think of him?" After hearing this, God elevated Moses to a level no man has ever reached before or since (Har Sinai).

Moses ask God; "what's inside of the Torah?"

Exodus 20:2, Gd said, "I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the Land of Egypt." So Moses asked the angels whether the angels had gone down to Egypt or were #enslaved to Pharaoh. The Angels replied saying; "no, we've never been to Egypt". #Exodus 20:3 Gd says, “You shall have no other gods,” Moses asked the angels whether they lived among peoples that engage in idol worship? The Angels replied saying; "no, for we haven't any free will ".Exodus 20:7 (20:8) Gd says, “Remember the #Sabbath day, to keep it holy,” Moses asked the angels whether they performed works from which they needed to rest? The Angels responded saying; "no, we've never experience fatigue ". Exodus 20:6 (20:7)Gd says, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain,” Moses ask the #angels when do you guys make promises or speak against God? The angels said; " no,we can only speak what #Hashem tells us ". Exodus 20:11 (20:12)Gd says, “Honor your father and your mother,” Moses asked the angels whether they had fathers and mothers? They said; "no". Exodus 20:12 (20:13)Gd says, “You shall not murder; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal,” Moses asked the angels whether there was jealousy or Evil Tempter among them? They said; "no, there's no evil amongst us". The #Midrash says after seeing these conclusions the angels understood God's vision and did everything to support Moses and the future generations.. #shavuot
