You are the sons and daughters of God-Master of the Universe-The Creator-The Light Source-all the ways we can think and explain Him.

Israel went through exile-captivity-ups and downs-as God secured His promises to bring them to the Holy Land-the rightful land of the People of Israel.Their example of grit and determination is given to us as a resounding proof of God's love-how He never changes.  Our episode today covers exile and the different types of consciousness of the people during exile.

Our Ego-often blocks us from the very blessings and equipping we are asking the Master of the Universe to help us.  This story from the Zohar helps reminds us we can learn and benefit from anyone-and often people are sent to us by the Creator to help us see the things about ourself we might be missing...

Don't dismiss the power of your positive actions in this world!
