The Miracle of a Successful 10 Tevet Holy Fast

The miracle of a successful 10 Tevet Holy Fast: It went great! Fasts are always great for me, especially when there is a large Break-The-Fast-Meal afterwards! Blood circulation brought low body temperatures, 96.8 degrees, had on 4 layers of clothing, and a fur coat and gloves indoors. It was a miracle how cold I got and how spiritual I got the colder I felt, it was an amazing experience, stuck it out till the very end, till sunset at 5:07 p.m. Started at dawn and watched it get darker and darker in the skies until sunset and then drank a large glass of cold water at exactly sunset time on my atomic watch and the water felt so good on parched dry lips! Chanted the Blessing as I was drinking water, and then drank a concoction of coffee and 2 types of tea mixed together to continue the body warmth. Warmth and more warmth, food calories in the dinner, calories are measures of heat. The miracles were the signs and wonders of HASHEM that appeared out the window of my dining room during the last half hour of the fast. I saw a reflection of an "Exit" sign in the dining room window glass with a doubled image that appeared as EX-EXIT. It was visible backwards as TIXE-XE but with the E's turned around, and it meant to me: "Do Not Exit." To Ex or X out the idea of exiting and stay inside where I live as it is the best place in the world for me to live! I have a happy healthy home and God wants me to X out any exiting, to stay living in my happy home and not to move out. Then I opened the Torah and I read about Reuben's incest with his father's concubine Bilhah, and remember how I read that incest causes homelessness and idolatry. I read on about how Reuben lost his rank in the family after this, he was the first-born but he never was respected after he broke the Commandment and was never honored again by his family after he slept with his father's lover. Then there was Dina who was raped by Shechem and her brothers killed her rapist in revenge. Then there was a man who could not stay in his home and he died in the wilderness, died out in the middle of the hostile wilderness. Then there was Jacob who meditated and when he was meditating he saw an angel in his mind and struggled with the angel and then changed his name to Israel. Then there was Israel who became blind in his old age just as his father Isaac was also blind.  So many spiritual revelations: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." "Silence is worth 2 shekels." "Ignoring and forgiving are the secrets to a good night's sleep." There are ways to take action and to deal with hostile people, it takes work to struggle with demons, and to listen to angels, you can climb up each of rung of Jacob's Ladder higher and higher--there are 4 rungs, I am on rung number 3. I will climb higher--4 table legs, 4 chair legs, 4 rungs on Jacob's Ladder. 4 is the most stable number in Judaism: They are 4 me and I am 4 them, we are 4 each other. Do not do or eat what is 4-bidden, have 4-thought, 4-give, and take action and do mitzvot. 4 Keys to success: Being the keeper of the keys is a big job, but it is the best job in the world! So glad I am employed as "The Keeper of the Keys." Happy 2015!
