Have you ever wished you could create your desires? And have you tried using deliberate creation and the Law of Attraction, with no results? You aren’t alone. I know a lot of people that have not been able to create their desires despite all the information to be found on conscious creation. That’s why I …
For years, I searched for certain metaphysical and mystical principles within Judaism, including the Law of Attraction. I knew they existed. I found the idea that we can deliberately or consciously create using our thoughts and feelings in a variety of Jewish teachings and books. However, usually the concept was hidden and talked about in …

Don’t believe everything you hear, unless, that is, you want to make what you hear a reality in your life. I remembered this principle yesterday as I lay sprawled across the road. “Self-fulfilling prophesy,” I grumbled as I thought of the young man in the bike store who had taught me how to use the …
Today I begin a new regular feature on this blog: “Monday Inspiration.” My colleague Jeff Herring, who used to run a regular feature called “Sunday Inspiration,” encouraged me to introduce this feature and to follow his lead. I believe giving lies at the crux of receiving. However, many people get stuck “giving to get.” That’s …
One of the major premises in my work, both my writing and teaching, revolves around the need to give as well as to receive. The two are integrally connected. Indeed, when we give, we open ourselves to receiving. Yet, we don’t want to give in order to receive. When we give, we make room to …

Cami lives with the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. While she suffers from many of the symptoms and for a while could hardly walk, she now mostly …
While it is all well and good to want “things” in the physical world, and it is part of our nature as physical beings to want and to need material stuff, the Kabbalists teach that such desires — and even the fulfillment of those desires — will never make us happy. Additionally, they will never …

Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. This has nothing to do with Judaism or any particular religion. However, I think that almost every spiritual or religious tradition has a teaching about being led by God or feeling guided. I think being in the flow is a bit like feeling God’s hand pushing …
Today, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jews can have a dream, too. We can dream of peace in Israel. We can dream of religious equality for Jews all over the world. We can dream of an end to anti-Semitism. (For more on this, click here.) We also can have more personal dreams. Do you …
Are you living your dream or dreaming your life? While Law of Attraction proponents would say that dreaming your life will create it, you might spend a lot of time dreaming — visualizing and combining thought and feeling — and never actually living your life — taking action and doing what you want to do. …

What do Black Monday, the current economic crisis, the Divine Name, giving, and receiving have in common? I found out today while reading and participating in a dialogue on a list serve to which I subscribe. It all began with a post by someone who shared information about a man in Jerusalem who five years …
Not everyone knows that Sukkot is known as the “Season of our Joy.” This year, given the unstable economic situation in the United States, as well as around the world, however, I think many people are experiencing it as the season of our fear.
