DREAMS AS MESSAGES FROM GOD



Dreaming at night, sometimes we do and sometimes we don't. The Psalms tell us that "G-d visits His beloved in their sleep."

Messages from G-d, listening to G-d talk to us as we are dreaming, G-d speaking to us in the voices of our Mothers or Fathers, Sisters or Brothers, Friends. G-d communicating to us His holy Words of Wisdom to guide us in our wakeful hours, something that someone in our dream says to us, really being the Words of G-d.

Wisdom in these Words to help us on our daily routine, actions that will keep us alive for many years, a reason to keep living, a way to help us each day as we stay alive and need a purpose, G-d coming to us in our dreams to show us this purpose, He appears in a figure in our dreams and speaks to us, acts in a certain way, guides us with His actions as through the actions of the figures in our dreams.

G-d coming to us in our dreams when we need Him the most, not dreaming everyday but only specifically when we most need G-d to be there, for Him to come when we do not ask, but on His own He comes to us in a dream to help us. To speak to us to give us exactly what we need to know to live our lives in a more wholesome way.

To keep these Words of G-d with us always, to never forget the dreams.

THE MIRACLE OF HAVING MIRACLES HAPPEN



Being exposed to G-d's miracles everyday and in everyway, miracles popping up like popcorn buttery and salted to satisfy your every craving.

To be hungry and to be fed, to crave for leafy green vegetables and have them rain upon your head from the clouds above, to want something and to have it provided.

To be in need of 8 hours of sleep and a bed and to be provided with a bedroom and a memory foam mattress, a clean warm blanket, clean sheets and a puffy comfortable pillowcase that is white and soft.

To be in need of company, to be living alone and not to see one face, not to see one smile, and then to travel to a place where everyone is in smiles and playing games and having a fun time.

To need and to want, and to then acquire and to have, to own, to be provided with everything you ever thought was possible.

To be nurtured, to be in a place of comfort, to have an abundance of people who care and who share themselves with you.

To not be used, to not be a victim, to not have your property stolen, to be safe.

To be healthy, to feel good, to feel balanced not too high and not too low, to be in sync, to feel protected.

To know that all the miracles that happen to you are provided to you by G-d Himself. To never doubt it, to not be forced to be "scientific" and told that you therefore must give up your G-d, to not ever give up your Jewish Faith, to thank G-d for it all and then feel miracle after miracle and to feel safe to call these happenings "miracles" and not "coincidences."

To not ever feel alone in your beliefs, to always know that G-d is there and your community is there for you.

To try to tolerate the unholy and the scoffers, to feel sorry for their lack of spirituality and lesser imaginations and to know that they are without and you are the one with more.

To love G-d with all your heart and to never leave Him.

THE MIRACLE OF CARE AND CONCERN


The greatest miracle of all miracles is that the Almighty One G-d of Abraham and Sarah, has extreme care and concern about you.

This One G-d, cares how you are doing, whether all your needs are being met or not, whether you need some of His love to take you out of a down mood, this Almighty G-d has greater powers to protect you and care about you than anyone, His love is greater than your Mother's love, greater than the love a husband can give you, His concern is for you, your universe is His concern, whether you are hungry or thirsty, He cares, whether you are warm or cold, this is entirely His concern.

G-d empowers you with the abilities to take care of your own needs, in this way as He guides you with the Torah, you are better able to meet your needs independent of depending on a mortal to give you something, instead of counting on mortals who error, G-d is there for us, so to transfer our praise and thanks to G-d, and to G-d alone, as One, for meeting all your needs, for caring whether or not your needs are met. He is your applauding audience as you help yourself to whatever it is you need and when you get it, He cares and is glad that you are sated, that you feel good, that you can experience joyousness.

Depend on G-d, and G-d alone, G-d as One G-d, and in this way all your needs will be met without being exposed to error from a trust in a mortal who is limited. G-d has no limits, He is beyond all limitations and therefore is the only entity equipped with the ability to give you genuine care and concern whenever you want it, whenever you need it, always, significantly, and for eternity.

THE MIRACLE OF A BIRTHDAY


The miracle of having a birthday! A date of birth with this happiness to be shared with family and friends. A day of a miracle between you and your Mother and Father, the two of them as being your creators with the divine spark of love that was between them, they gave you birth, created your life. It was their passion that brought you into this world as another human living here to do your best in life to contribute to society, to use your work and actions to make your Mother and Father proud to have given you birth.

A birthday that falls on Nisan 26/May 4th. This year on the solar calendar and lunar calendar, the lunar and solar dates correspond exactly to one another as they did on my year of birth in 1959. It is so nice to have this agreement, 2 calendars that tried to oppose each other, instead coming together in perfect agreement on my 57th birthday year.

Also, on Nisan 26 in 2012, I took my beit din conversion mikvah to Judaism. I will always remember the perfect harmony and extreme feeling of peace and love I experienced in the natural mikvah waters. Now, I live 2 blocks west of the huge Lake Michigan, a mikvah bath of all natural waters, 100% natural waters, that I can dunk into to continue the state of purity I derived 4 years ago. Natural mikvah waters rolling in on a sandy seashore, one wave after the other, a place of perfect bliss this beach of sea water. There is also a lighthouse a few blocks south of this beach and each day it is my goal to walk to this lighthouse, to have its eternal light, an eternal flame, light my way and guide me, to pursue greater and loftier heights, to continue to climb up Jacob's Ladder everyday, to count the Omer on this period of holy days after Passover.

To have been born into this world on Omer 11, the one day of the greatest of all strengths and disciplines. A day of Gevurah-Gevurah. Gevurah meaning strength. To use this strength of a bull, a Taurus, this strength of an ox, to persevere and to always make everyday a holy day, to feel the presence of the Strength of The Almighty One G-d of Abraham and Sarah on this day of Omer 11, Nisan 26, May 4th. And to continue year after year to praise and thank this G-d for giving me life, for giving me a birthday to celebrate this life.
