…And live to tell the tale…

You want to live a life where you say this about yourself, a lot. “…And I lived to tell the tale…”

Where you are on the edge… and come back to tell the tale.

The edge? it feels like the dividing line between life and death. It is just a feeling. Some edge is quite inconsequential, but the going there is tremendous.

I signed up to be coached on Monday, and it’s Sunday, and I am already “fired”.

Another man’s integrity may be out of integrity for you. Another man’s wisdom is not YOUR wisdom. That is what happened.

I was asked to do something that doesn’t agree, doesn’t foster love between my two selves. Everybody is doing it… but for me to love ME, I can’t do it.

If you

What is Kabbalah and Why Should You Care?

kabbalah-centre tikkunImagine that you got yourself a car without a user’s manual. Or a computer. And there would be no person that you know that even knows what they are about… these items would rust, collect dust, be in the way… instead of giving you the power to quickly get from one place to the other, or to solve seemingly impossible problems, communicate to millions with your computer.

This is exactly the situation with regards to life on Earth, with regards to human beings.

Billions of people wonder, daily, why they are here, and what they are supposed to do. Are you one of them? I sure am and have been.

Billions of people wonder why life isn’t working the way it is supposed to work… because somehow we KNO

Who am I and what gives me the right to write about Kabbalah

kabbalahchick is Sophie Benshitta, aka Maven SophieGood question, right? You were just about asking that… Gotcha!

OK, simple question, simple answer.

First I tell you what I am not:

  • I am not a Kabbalist. Kabbalists study, practice, and teach Kabbalah full time, for many many years. It could be even said that being a Kabbalist is like an insider… you need to be appointed.
  • I am not a teacher of Kabbalah
  • I am not a guru
  • I am not someone who knows a lot about Kabbalah but doesn’t live it.

OK, then what am I?

Well, I was first introduced to Kabbalah by a friend of mine (who is accidentally out of my life now… but more about it later.) My introduction happened by

Create a life you love

Oh no! This video software that used to work doesn’t work any more. I cried out… This can happen to anyone. Technology changes so rapidly, keeping pace with it is both expensive and time consuming.

Sometimes there is an upgrade. Nowadays upgrades cost money… or the software developer simply abandoned you… and you are stranded with a software that doesn’t work any more.

I have been teaching what I teach for seven years. Teach people a world view that has been tested and true, and includes the invisible. This world view is sharply different from the accepted norms… but it works, instead of just being a nice theory like what psychologists and philosophers teach. Or even Landmark Educati

Experience junkie? Spending all your money on courses?

the experience junkieI used to be a course junkie. I have recovered… This morning’s incident is a good indicator…

I found myself this morning unable to connect. Connect to Source…

When I closed my eyes, I was buzzing…

I muscle tested: Am I tired? The answer was “yes”. Shall I rest? The answer was “yes/no” Shall I meditate? The answer was “yes” Shall I meditate for five minutes? “yes”

I closed my eyes, and within seconds I had this huge upheaval, with lots of tears.

Now, what the heck is that about?

I didn’t forget that I have been downloading the Day of Power energy over the past 36 hours… and whatever is there, spiritually, can spill out, and be gone… reall

Days of Power – Get a huge energy infusion

days-of-powerSome days are special in that you can get enough power infusion into your life for a whole month, some days even for a whole year.

But…

That pesky but is there, of course.

To connect to that power, on your own, you need to have a high enough consciousness… and you don’t. So what can you do?

For the most part: nothing. You can work on elevating your consciousness, but so far you have proven unequal to the task, and unwilling to do the work. Because what elevates consciousness is restriction… Restricting your desire to receive for the self alone… Going against your selfish genes.

But you can “use” an intermediary, a channel… me.

And I am going to test if it eve

There is no such thing as a free lunch… you need to earn it. Somehow

free_lunchThe concept of earning it, earning the light, earning the capacity

People who come to me don’t know that you cannot have anything long without earning it.

In Kabbalah they talk about the advance of Light… that you lost with interest… if you don’t do what you promised to do.

I learned this the hard way: I promised to send a stack of postdated checks as a donation to the Kabbalah Centre. Then I realized that it wasn’t going to work for me, and didn’t send the checks.

When I made the promise, the result was almost instant: I got several orders, and I made a lot of money that day.

Should you read Kabbalah? I mean popular Kabbalah, Kabbalah the way the Kabbalah Centre teaches it

kabbala vs. kabbalah centre kabbalah

  • Kabbalah the way the Kabbalah Centre teaches it: Truth value: 10%
  • If you take out god, and incarnation, karma, law of attraction, etc., all the religious connotations: 19%

Compare the 19%

  • Compare it with the Old Testament: Truth value less than 1%
  • Compare it with the New Testament: Truth value less than 1%
  • Compare it with The Law of Attraction: Truth value less than 1%
  • Indian scriptures: Truth value 2%

Obviously your best bet is to read Kabbalah books, but to read them with

Who Were My Teachers in Transformation and Mindset… ?

Well, this could be a real long article, even a book. I won’t go there… writing a book is way too long for my ADHD personality. But there is one teacher, who I admire, Colin Wilson (of “Outsider” and “ The Mind Parasites ” fame, who wrote a book, “
